It’s The Message

grampslcf August 15, 2023 Comments Off

Last week I published a post on the fact that we are the majority in this country. This fact has been re-enforced by two songs that have riled up the music world. The first was Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town.”

“Try That In A Small Town” refers to the feeling of a community where neighbors took care of neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Apparently calling out the leftist evil that is being perpetrated on the American public is now ‘violent’ and ‘hateful.’ Leftists have gone into screaming fits of rage over this music video.

A Simple Answer To The Fed Rate Question

grampslcf August 5, 2023 1 Comment

One of the things that I hear in many discussions about the economy is the one where the Fed is going to pivot. Pivot to what, you ask? Pivot back to a zero bound interest scheme that was in place for a long time. In Europe the government-controlled interest rate actually went negative for a decent amount of time.

The financial “pundits” have been clamoring for a return to such a fantasy land scenario to “save the economy.” It ain’t going to happen. And if it did, it would not save the economy. ...

Bud Light and its associated beers continue to spiral downward. There are no signs that the boycott of Anheuser Busch brands is abating. According to the latest statistics shared by Bump Williams consulting firm, in the key period just before the July 4th holiday, sales of Bud Light dropped another 28.5% compared to the prior year.

All of this is the result of hiring people who have been brainwashed to believe all this wokeism crap. And most of these people have been “educated” at our elite universities.

The CEO now believes that if he appeals to the public to save the jobs of everyday Americans, people will return to their prior purchasing habits. Not gonna happen. This “We will shoot the hostage” strategy is being seen for what it is.

Buy local microbreweries. Most local microbrews taste better and you are promoting your local economy.

Sales of the gender-fluid beer, Bud Light, continue to decline.

[New York Post] – Sales of Bud Light suffered their steepest weekly drop yet since the beer brand launched its disastrous tie-up with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to the latest data.

In the week ending June 17, sales of the Anheuser-Busch brand fell by an eye-popping 28.5% versus a year ago, according to the most recent sales figures issued by Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ.

That eclipses last week’s 26.8% decline, which beat the previous week’s fall of 24.4%.

Porkulous

Sundance over at CTH had a short post of the meaningless theatre that Washington engaged in recently to come to an agreement on increasing the debt ceiling. Before I post Sundance’s comments, please note that more Democrats voted for the measure than Republicans did (165 to 149). That alone tells the story.

The Hits Keep Coming

Both Target and Anheuser Busch continue to reap the whirlwind. Both are caught in a vortex of their own making. In the future these two companies will be classic studies in advertising of what not to do if you wish to sell to the public. Mainstream companies shouldn’t needlessly alienate their customer base or engage in controversies that have nothing to do with their core business.

McCarthy Caves

Did Kevin McCarthy just cave into the Deep State with the deal that supposedly he brokered? Whose pockets are getting filled with this latest boondoggle? How much money is going to wind up in the coffers of the RNC to be used to try to stop PDJT from being the nominee? Who else in Washington will benefit financially from this so-called deal?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be trying to re-write history by saying he never forced anyone to get vaccinated.

Not forcing anyone? So, the Freedom Convoy that descended on Ottawa was there for what reason? People’s access to their life savings was taken away for what reason? People were threatened with the loss of custody of their children why?

Progressive Policy Outcomes

Progressive policies continue to destroy businesses in our urban centers. As district attorneys release violent criminals back onto the streets, they are turning our cities into cesspools of crime. This is causing major businesses to evaluate their business prospects within such locales.
