Sorry, but We the People cannot afford to foot the bill for Bud Light.
They went woke, turned their backs on their customers, watched their sales collapse, and now they want American taxpayers to rescue them with tax credits and special breaks?
Absolutely not.
This is not the time to reward a giant foreign owned corporation for insulting the very consumers who made it successful.
You know who we would rather help? Small American businesses that are struggling to survive, create jobs, and keep their doors open.
Give the tax credits to American Owned, American Made, and Veteran Owned businesses. Bud Light made its choice. American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for it.
Rant time:
X is no longer a free speech platform. You can literally get suspended/demonetized for saying such psychotic things like:
Good morning
Good night
And the horror of one line questions designed to start discussion.
Remember when that is ALL Twitter was? Not the TikTok BS they are pushing now just one line statements or questions to spark discussions.
Elon has clearly washed his hands of this platform and left it in the hands of a moron that has literally ruined every app he has been involved in.
Enough.
Idk about you but I don’t know one trans that is “normal.” Which is a contradiction within itself. They are a danger to themselves and society. Can we bring back asylums? Asking for concerned Americans.
This letter is one of the best responses I’ve seen..
Dear Mayor Mamdani,
I'm writing from Canada, which means I have no vote, no dog in your reelection, and no reason to care about your press strategy. Except that I do, because it's hard not to notice a mayor treat foreign policy like it's the only portfolio he actually wants.
I'll be honest about how this started. When the video first crossed my feed, I assumed it was fake. Not in the "bold move" way, in the actual "someone ran this through a deepfake generator to make a point" way. A sitting mayor, on camera, gravely announcing he'd exhausted every legal avenue to arrest a foreign head of state, only to concede he never had the authority in the first place. I sat there looking for anything that would let me file this under a bad prank instead of a real statement from a real sitting mayor. Then I found the CNN piece, the NPR piece, the France 24 piece, all reporting it straight, and had to sit with the fact that this actually happened, on purpose, from the mayor of New York City.
So now I'm just curious, genuinely, no axe to grind, from way up here with no stake in your reelection. Whose mandate is this? You ran for mayor of New York. Housing, transit, safety, the budget, childcare, groceries people can actually afford, that's the job description. Nowhere in there does it say "unofficial spokesperson for the International Criminal Court" or "designated antagonist of the Israeli government." Nobody voted on that. There was no ballot line for it. So who exactly gave you the right to carry this out on the city's behalf, and in whose name are you actually doing it? From where I'm standing, this mandate doesn't look like it belongs to the people of New York at all. It looks like it belongs to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC.
Here's the part that makes it feel less like conviction and more like theatre. Ask yourself the question your video conveniently skipped. If the head of the IRGC landed at JFK, would there be a video? If a Hezbollah commander wanted a night out in Manhattan at some swanky club, would you tell him, with that same solemn cadence, that he's not welcome? If someone from Hamas's political bureau, the men who actually planned October 7th, decided to visit, would you even flinch? Somehow I doubt it. The cameras only seem to come out for the one target that plays well to a specific room, and I notice, from all the way up here, that the room never asks about the others. It makes a person wonder who this performance is actually for.
You don't owe me an answer. I can't vote, I can't donate, I can't even yell at you at a town hall. But the question doesn't need an American passport to be obvious. It's obvious from Canada. It's probably obvious from the moon.
With all the respect you've earned, which is none.

@babybeginner@xx_xyathletics Is he fully inside in this pic??? I’ve not seen you for a few days. When I last saw, he was just taking a couple of steps in the door!
Mamdani in the post made sure to say, "The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor."
The perpetrator yelled “Allahu Akbar”. You know what else may have been a factor? Islam.
Nine percent of Americans have confidence in Congress.
Sixty-seven percent have confidence in small business.
That gap is the whole story, and it has nothing to do with left and right.
Look at who Americans still trust.
Small business at 67.
The military at 61.
The police at 45.
Every one of them builds something or protects someone.
A small business makes a product and dies if nobody wants it.
A soldier defends a country.
A cop shows up when you call.
They get judged on whether the job actually got done.
Now look at the bottom.
Congress at 9.
Television news at 14.
Newspapers at 17.
One defrauds you.
The other lies to you about it.
Neither builds anything. Neither protects anyone. And neither one is ever punished for being wrong.
That is not an opinion. Here is what Congress presides over.
The GAO estimates the federal government loses between 233 and 521 billion dollars every single year to fraud. Not waste. Fraud.
Improper payments have hit roughly 3 trillion dollars since 2003. Last year alone was 186 billion.
Congress has not balanced a budget since 2001.
Nine percent is not cynicism.
It is an accurate grade.
Gallup started asking this question in 1973, during Watergate, with a president on his way to resigning. Congress scored 42 percent that year.
In 2014 it hit 7, the lowest reading Gallup has ever recorded for any American institution.
Watergate was a scandal.
This is a business model.
The press sits right next to them for the same reason.
Thirty-four percent of Americans say they have no trust in the news media at all. Twenty-eight percent say they have a great deal or a fair amount.
Americans have not lost faith in their country.
They still trust the man who fixes the engine. The sergeant.
The woman who owns the shop.
They stopped trusting the people who take from them and lie about where it went.
That is not cynicism.
That is a country that can still tell the difference.
My sister has been saving for a house down payment for 6 years.
$500 a month. Every month. No exceptions.
She skipped vacations. Drove the same car for a decade. Packed lunch every single day.
Last month she finally hit $60,000.
She called me excited. Ready to start looking.
Then her realtor sent her the numbers.
Average home in her area: $520,000.
She needs $104,000 for 20% down to avoid PMI.
She's $44,000 short. After 6 years of sacrifice.
She asked me what she did wrong.
Nothing. She did everything right.
The finish line just moved faster than she could run.
She's 34. Single. No kids. Good job. Perfect credit.
And she's still not enough for a system that keeps adjusting the rules mid-game.
