The Bud Light boycott is having epic results. Not only are sales cratering, but a Trump-friendly beer company is benefitting at their expense.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported the crisis for Bud Light has become so severe that Costco is practically giving the product away.
Instead of apologizing for insulting their customers, executives such Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris think throwing money at the problem will cause former patrons to eventually forget and come back.
Beer Business Daily on Monday shared the overall domestic beer sales numbers. The news was not pretty for Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light’s parent company.
The April scan numbers are hot off the press from NIQ. All numbers for the four weeks ending April 29. As a benchmark, total beer volumes were down 3.2%, with dollars up 1.8%.

Overall, Anheuser-Busch was down 12.5 percent just four weeks after Bud Light decided to shoved Mulvaney in America’s face. Bud Light’s sales alone plummeted a whopping 21.4% while Budweiser fell 11.5%.
Other results included Coors Light sales surging by 10.9% and Miller Lite up 12.8%.
But arguably the most notable positive news was from Yuengling, America’s largest and oldest brewer. The company saw its sales surge by a massive 14.7%.
This one tweet explains the reason for divergence in sales between Bud Light and Yuengling. Look at the pro-American patriotism.

Moreover, Yuengling can be considered Trump friendly. Yuengling was actually boycotted by far-left LGBTQ groups in 2016 after its CEO endorsed then-candidate Donald Trump’s run for president.
CEO Richard Yuengling Jr. announced his support for Trump during a conversation with Eric Trump.
Our guys are behind your father. We need him in the White House.
Anheuser-Busch would be wise to learn from Yuengling and call an audible immediately. If not, perhaps they will simply shut up regarding politics and try to sell whatever remaining beer they have left.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) spoke to the press after meeting with Joe Biden in the Oval Office to discuss the debt limit.
Biden met with Speaker McCarthy, Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office.
McCarthy’s debt limit plan will eliminate Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailout plan and slash the funds set aside for the army of IRS agents.
Biden refuses to negotiate with McCarthy.
Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting was a waste of time.
Reporters were booted from the Oval Office in less than a minute.
“We’re not gonna take any questions now. We’re gonna get started and solve all the world’s problems,” Biden said as his handlers shooed away reporters.
McCarthy and McConnell spoke to the press following their fruitless meeting with Joe Biden.
“Unfortunately the president has waited 97 DAYS without ever meeting. Every day I asked that we meet and he said no,” McCarthy told reporters touting his plan. “The House has raised the debt ceiling in a responsible matter … does [Biden] not believe there’s any place we could find savings?”
“What are the odds of default now after this meeting and what happens next?” a reporter asked McCarthy.
“The House made sure that we wouldn’t have default because we raised the debt limit,” McCarthy said.
McConnell told reporters the US is “not going to default. It never has and it never will.”

Elon Musk posted a warning on Twitter regarding WhatsApp after a Twitter user posted that the site was violating their privacy by accessing their phone’s microphone.

100 Percent Fed Up reports – Twitter user Foad Dabri is Twitter’s director of engineering. He posted a photo documenting his WhatsApp timeline showing the company had overstepped on its access to his phone’s mic.
Musk responded directly, saying, “WhatsApp cannot be trusted.”

The WhatsApp Company also responded to the Twitter post, saying they had been in touch with the Twitter engineer who posted the issue with WhatsApp. The company attempted to write the issue off as a simple bug, saying they had asked Google to look into it,
“We believe this is a bug on Android that misattributes information in their Privacy Dashboard and have asked Google to investigate and remediate.”

More and more, everyday Americans are concerned with maintaining their privacy. Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s company, purchased the messaging service WhatsApp in 2014; Meta also owns Facebook and Instagram.
In 2018 Senator Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat, asked Zuckerberg a direct question about whether or not Facebook was listening to platform users, which some called a “conspiracy theory.” The accusation was that Facebook listened to users’ conversations so they could target advertising.
PETERS: Yes or no: Does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users?
ZUCKERBERG: No.
According to Mediaite, Zuckerberg’s response was aimed at the “conspiracy theory” and went on to note that there is an audio component for users who post video footage, which “was a bit of an unnecessary clarification, though, given that the question was about surreptitious recording, not something users were explicitly recording media to share.”
Musk’s vague warning about the messaging platform continued in a follow-up Tweet. He said,
“WhatsApp founders left Meta/Facebook in disgust, started the #deletefacebook campaign, and made major contributions to building Signal. What they learned about Facebook and changes to WhatsApp obviously disturbed them greatly.”

Meta has responded to “spying” allegations in the past and also denies that the social media platforms listen in, saying, “Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp do not listen in or use the cell phone microphone to influence advertising in any way.”

Former First Lady Melania Trump
 
Looking radiant, Melania Trump joined Fox News to share her enthusiastic support of President Trump’s 2024 campaign.
She is looking forward to working alongside former President Trump in “restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength” and will continue her stewardship of initiatives focused on the well-being and development of children.
Mrs. Trump spoke with Fox’s Pete Hegseth after luncheon celebrating the “Be Best” initiative, founded during her time in the White House. “Be Best” focuses on the well-being of America’s children, opioid abuse, and online safety.

Fox News reports:
“My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again,” the former first lady told Fox News Digital.
Trump announced his 2024 re-election campaign in November, and is currently leading the Republican field for the GOP presidential nomination.
“He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength,” she said.
******
“Since leaving Washington D.C., my commitment to the foster community has grown stronger,” Mrs. Trump told Fox News Digital, pointing to her work in securing scholarships for children in the foster care system with the help of her team, strategic partners and the public.
“At the present time, there are more than 400,000 children in the foster care system, and there is less than a 3% chance of former foster children completing their college education. In fact, many end up on the street, homeless,” she said. “My objective is to reduce the gap and increase access to higher education for those who leave the foster care system.”
Since the creation of “Fostering the Future,” Trump has awarded two individuals from the foster care community university-level scholarships to study technology.
“I have faith that an education-based foundation will provide these individuals with the skills needed to secure employment and achieve financial stability,” she told Fox News Digital.

The unidentified police officer who bravely took down the Texas mall shooter over the weekend is requesting privacy as he “processes this life-altering tragedy.”
The outlet mall shooter was shot to death by the unidentified hero cop
100 Percent Fed Up reports – On Saturday, a gunman carrying an AR-15-style assault weapon opened fire at a mall in Allen, Texas. The shooter, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, murdered eight people and wounded seven before being killed by a heroic police officer who ran toward the gunfire as everyone else ran away.
The Allen police officer was reportedly at Allen Premium Outlets responding to another call when the shooting began.
The officer radioed for backup, begging his colleagues to join him. “I need everybody I got,” he said.
However, the officer quickly realized he couldn’t wait for backup and sprung into action. Two minutes after he first called for backup, the officer had takedown the shooter. He radioed again, saying, “I got him down.”
Zack Horn, the officer’s attorney, released a statement saying, “The officer sprinted towards high-power rifle fire as everyone else ran away. He’s a brave servant with a gentle heart and embodies the best the law enforcement profession has to offer. He’s doing well and would appreciate privacy as he continues to process this life-altering tragedy.”
Another brave man who ran towards the violent scene was a former police officer named Steven Spainhouer, who went to the mall after his son, who is an employee there, called him to tell him about the shooting.
Audio of the police officer’s desperate plea for help at the shooting scene has been released, revealing how he begged for his fellow officers to join him on the scene: “I need everybody I got!”
Listen:

When he arrived at the mall, he was met with a horrifying, bloody scene.
Spainhouer administered CPR to a shooting victim who was dying, and he helped to comfort a boy who was covered in the blood of his own mother.
“I’m feeling it. I’m feeling it. Really, really hard right now. It is not easy. So hug your kids. Hug your kids when you go home,” Spainhouer said in an interview with NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
This tragic shooting is being investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a case of racially or ethnically motivated extremism because, based on a preliminary investigation into the shooter’s personal life, Garcia had made many social media posts containing violent extremist rhetoric.
Many of Garcia’s social media posts reportedly promoted white supremacy and contained neo-Nazi material.
This investigation is still ongoing.

In a surprise video uploaded to Twitter on Tuesday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced he will be doing his new show on Twitter.
Tucker was ousted from Fox last month and was under contract with the outlet through the end of 2024.
Tucker accused Fox News of fraud and breach of contract, according to Axios.
Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract — and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action.
The aggressive letter from his lawyers to Fox positions Carlson to argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid — freeing him to launch his own competing show or media enterprise.
On Tuesday, Carlson announced he would be bringing his show to Twitter,.
“Starting soon we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter,” he said in the video. “We bring some other things too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now we’re just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others.”
The intrigue: The Twitter move would seem to technically violate Carlson’s contract with Fox, but his lawyers’ letter effectively holds that Fox breached the contract first.
Sources told Axios that Carlson’s lawyers sent their letter before he took to Twitter to announce his new show.
Tucker in the video stated “starting soon we will be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six years and a half years to Twitter.”
Besides announcing his return Tucker stated “at the most basic level the news you consume is a lie. A lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind.”
Tucker would go on to say Twitter is the last remaining place in the world where free speech is allowed.

Tucker also noted in his announcement that the “gatekeepers are still in charge” of the corporate media and he’s sick of it which is why he will be taking his show to Twitter.
The news by Tucker shocked some but other saw his decision coming.
Previously Axios reported both Musk and Carlson had a conversation about working together.

100 Percent Fed Up reports – On Saturday, popular podcast host Tim Pool appeared on the PBD Podcast, where he revealed why he would vote for former President Donald Trump instead of potential challenger Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

During the podcast, Pool praised DeSantis as the “best governor this country has.”
However, Pool then said that he would vote for Trump over DeSantis in the primaries because he believes that Trump would dismantle federal agencies and purge the bureaucratic class, something that would be good for the United States.
“What do I like about Trump? The reason I’d vote for him not because I think he’s the greatest leader we’ve ever had, I think his foreign policy has been absolutely fantastic considering presidents we’ve had in the past,” said Pool.
“Donald Trump’s gonna fire everybody. He wants revenge,” he continued. “And I think if the one thing I can get out of the next presidency is the purging of the bureaucratic class, this country will be better off for it.”
“I don’t know if Ron DeSantis would do that. I think he’s a negotiator. I think he’s gonna go in and say, how can we make this clean, and it’s gonna be like Trump’s first term all over again. they’re gonna attack him; they’re gonna smear him; they’re gonna lie; they’re gonna get their key-positioned people to sludge everything up.
“I think at this point with Donald Trump; he’s unleashed, he’s so angry, he’s been slighted, he’s been lied about, they’ve impeached him, they’re… prosecuting him in New York, they’re trying to get him in D.C., they’re trying to get him in Georgia. Now they’re accusing him of a 30-year-old rape case. I mean, these people are relentless, and almost every single time, these stories turn out to be fake or, even worse, it’s them.”
“I think Trump gets elected, he walks in and says ‘I don’t care how, I don’t care why, we are going to terminate these people. We’re going to send them out with nice little boxes full of their belongings, and we’re going to figure out how to do it.’”
“That’s the number one thing this country needs right now,” Pool concluded. “I don’t think DeSantis does it.”

The Justice Department filed criminal charges against GOP Rep. George Santos (NY), according to a leak to CNN.
Santos will appear in federal court on Wednesday (where he is expected to be arrested), according to the outlet.
The nature of the charges are unclear, however, federal investigators were probing possible campaign finance violations and false statements.
The charges are currently under seal.
CNN reported:
Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican lawmaker whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New York’s eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal.
The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.
Earlier this year House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters that George Santos will be removed from Congress if it is determined the freshman Rep. broke the law.
George Santos flipped New York’s 3rd Congressional district red in November when he defeated Robert Zimmerman.
In December Santos admitted he lied about his education, employment history and Jewish background in an interview with the New York Post.
“I am not a criminal,” Santos said during his exclusive interview. “This [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.”
“My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry,” Santos said Monday to The Post.
Federal prosecutors were investigating George Santos’ ‘sudden wealth’ after he admitted to embellishing his resume.

Former Tucker Carlson booking producer Abby Grossberg withdrew her coercion lawsuit against Fox News, according to the New York Times.
For now.
Abby Grossberg filed lawsuits against the outlet in March after she left the company.
Grossberg filed a lawsuit alleging the company’s legal team urged her to answer “I don’t know” to questions in the company’s lawsuit with Dominion voting machines.
Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News shortly after Grossberg filed her lawsuits.
According to Abby Grossberg’s attorneys, she will likely be refiling her civil lawsuit against Fox News in New York since that is where Smartmatic’s case against Fox News is filed.
Grossberg’s lawsuit was originally filed in the Delaware Superior Court where the Dominion case was settled for $787 million.
Smartmatic is currently suing Fox News for $2.7 billion.
