Predictable and Preventable Chaos Reigns on the Southern Border |05/12/23

As the national emergency on COVID-19 ends, and thus so does Title 42, predictable and preventable chaos reigned overnight.

Matt Araiza and Bad Sports Media | 05/10/23

Matt Araiza is vindicated against allegations of being involved in a gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at a college party back in 2021. Yet, the sports media still tries to tie him to the allegations and furthers the idea that a gang rape occurred, except they leave out the fact that the DA makes it very clear they don't believe that scenario played out at all. Also, EcoHealthAlliance is back to "business as usual" and a woman is accused of poisoning her husband, but the story begins with her tryi...

Anheuser-Busch's Real Values Exposed | 05/09/23

If you thought the Dylan Mulvaney marketing matter was just a ploy to look woke, you would be wrong. On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, Andrew explores the question of A-B's existence since it is indeed deep in the woods of wokeness. So, either it is woke and just disavowed it's own "values" or it's "values" were all just words. Either way, you've managed to tick off every potential customer in the process.
