The P C Madness thread.

The leftists opened pandora's box with all this woke nonsense, now the radical trans activists are killing kids...

...

Trans female former student, 28, armed with two assault rifles and a handgun, kills three nine-year-old kids and three staff members at Nashville private Christian school after writing manifesto and drawing maps of church campus​

The mass shooting took place at the Covenant School on the outskirts of the Nashville, Tennessee at about 10:13am. At least seven people have been killed - including three children, three adults, and the female shooter. It's currently unclear how many were injured. The female shooter - who has not been named - was shot and killed by police at 10.27am local time. Parents have been told to collect their children from the Christian elementary school where about 260 students study. An official spokesperson said: 'This shooter is a female - and she is thought to be in her teens. She was armed with at least two assault rifles and a handgun. She entered on the first floor and moved up to the second floor.' NBC News cites law enforcement officials who say the shooter is Audrey Hale. It's unclear what her motive was, but police believe she attended the school at some point. The small school is run by a church and does not employ a school resource officer.

Just out of curiosity, has press reported on the race of the victims and what race were the victims?

Bud Light sales plunge as distributors in the Heartland and South are 'spooked' by Dylan Mulvaney backlash: 'Anheuser-Busch rep' fears he won't be able to 'feed my family'​

Bud Light sales have plunged and its distributors in the Midwest, the South, and rural areas are 'spooked' in the aftermath of a partnership with trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney. Distributors for Anheuser-Busch products, the company that owns Bud Light, have reported dwindling sales over the weekend, according to a report from trade publication Beer Business Daily. It comes as a video of a man claiming to be a merchandiser for an A-B affiliate went viral on Twitter as he lamented poor sales and the impact on his livelihood.

OK, this is PC madness as well.

Although I'm not a smoker, I have a bit of a thing for e-cigarettes, because one of my parents was, so when they came out I started a business selling them in US ( via internet ). I truly, and should I say, quite strongly believed that e-cigs help smokers to reduce risk of getting cancer.

Anyhow, eventually there were these fake political campaigns in US about "protecting children" in this "new evil" was stigmatised and e-cigs were all but banned. So, I found this today this article that vindicates e-cigs, where UK gov. is going to give 1 million e-cigs to smokers to help them transition to non-smoking. Obviously this kind of recognition from government would not come if it wasn't deserved. And is a testament to false narratives that are run by media and politicians.

Pregnant women will also be paid to quit smoking under government plans to be set out on Tuesday.

'They don't understand me!' Trans activist Dylan Mulvaney hits back at critics of Bud Light campaign - as beer giant's parent company Anheuser-Busch suffers $3billion loss​

In an appearance on Rosie O'Donnell's podcast , Mulvaney said she was a 'target' because she only began transitioning a year ago. Her campaign with Bud Light launched on April 1. While Mulvaney has shrugged off the criticism, the sting appears to be more lasting for Anheuser Busch, Bud Light's parent company that has lost $3billion in market cap value in recent days.

'They don't understand me!' Trans activist Dylan Mulvaney hits back at critics of Bud Light campaign - as beer giant's parent company Anheuser-Busch suffers $3billion loss​

In an appearance on Rosie O'Donnell's podcast , Mulvaney said she was a 'target' because she only began transitioning a year ago. Her campaign with Bud Light launched on April 1. While Mulvaney has shrugged off the criticism, the sting appears to be more lasting for Anheuser Busch, Bud Light's parent company that has lost $3billion in market cap value in recent days.

Quote from Alissa Heinerscheid, Bud Light's VP of marketing: "It’s like we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand.

"What does evolve and elevate mean? It means inclusivity. It means shifting the tone. It means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different."

i.e. Bud Light's message to its existing customers: "We're better than you, and we want a better class of customer."

OK, I'm teetotaller, but I wouldn't drink any liquid from that can decorated with a face of honourable member of male minority.

I can perfectly imagine why their share price slumped $33B.

'Get woke go broke' is the current motto I've heard...

The brand was 'in decline' and maybe they decided to drive a rainbow hued (now in the infrared) stake through it's heart. Howard Stern made a valid point - why is everyone so pissed? Kid Rock shooting Bud Light with an AR. Real smart. Just what we need in light of far too many recent events. His hair is long and his thought short indeed, to quote self same poet, Bob.

It's not that this person is trans or isn't or might be - Christ I'm in a PC minefield already. Frankly the only safe term we can use is 'fellow Earthling' and who can argue that? Probably somebody. I'm a beer swilling pickemup truck driving knuckle dragging doorknob who tends to reflect whatever I am presented with - be polite to me and I'll be polite to you. Fer ****s sake.

It's about this Woke *** being stuffed down our throats not where you choose to bump uglies.

Imagine the board meetings. I'll bet you a kidney that whoever was involved other than Alissa HErgenbergernessbarffeld wouldn't touch the idea with a twenty two and a half foot pole after she floated it for fear of a bad PC report card or being canceled or just maaaaaybe having a problem making their next mortgage payment. Whatever happens to that brand next they have earned.

'No one at a senior level' was aware Bud Light had made the 'mistake' of partnering with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney - as parent company Anheuser-Busch loses $6BN in six days​

The ill-fated marketing campaign between beer giant Bud Light and trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney was launched without approval from senior executives of parent company Anheuser Busch (AB), it has been claimed.

The partnership unveiled on April 2 saw Mulvaney, a biological male who began transitioning in 2021, promote America's bestselling beer to 11 million followers on social media in a series of partnered posts.

Mulvaney's posts showed the influencer sitting in a bathtub and swigging from custom cans sporting her face and pro-LGBTQ language.

But the posts, which were never shared by Bud Light or Anheuser Busch social media profiles, sparked widespread fury with several high-profile celebrities swearing off the swill in protest.

The backlash has shaved $6billion off AB's total share value in the past 10 days, and the company continues to remain silent save for a short statement confirming the partnership.

A pair of sources at AB have since told The Daily Wire that 'no one at a senior level was aware this was happening', claiming the decision to include Mulvaney in the campaign was taken by a 'lower level employee' and was a 'mistake'.

I don't believe the higher ups didn't know beforehand, though some may have been shrewd enough to secure plausible deniability just in case.

Budweiser has released a new patriotic advertisement as its parent company struggles with controversy over its endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

The advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of Budweiser's famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.

"This is a story bigger than beer," the ad's narrator says in the ad. "This is the story of the American spirit."

As the ad plays, the Clydesdale horse passes by some of the most famous American landmarks, showcasing the New York City skyline, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., small towns, and farmland.

Donald Trump Jr. calls for an end to the conservative-led boycott of Bud Light and 'iconic' Anheuser-Busch over a partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney

Donald Trump Jr. is calling for the end of a conservative-led boycott against Bud Light, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch, over the parent company's partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
During an April 13 broadcast of his "Triggered" podcast, the eldest son of former President Donald Trump addressed the controversy that has become a new cultural front in the political right's increasingly vocal criticism of transgender issues and the conservative push to pass legislation restricting gender-affirming care.
Trump Jr., who frequently rails against what he deems as "woke" influences in American society, is usually fighting alongside conservatives on many issues, but he broke away from the movement as it related to Anheuser-Busch.
"I'm not for destroying an American, an iconic company, for something like this. The company itself doesn't participate in the same leftist nonsense as the other big conglomerates," he said, arguing that Anheuser-Busch had a conservative lean in their political donations.


According to OpenSecrets, Anheuser-Busch and individuals affiliated with the company donated $514,375 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the 2022 election cycle; individuals with ties to the company also gave $464,505 to the National Republican Congressional Committee for the same cycle.
"Frankly, they don't participate in the same woke garbage that other people in the beer industry actually do, who are significantly worse offenders when I looked into it," he continued. "But if they do this again, then it's on them! Then, screw them."
The boycott began when many conservatives became incensed that Bud Light partnered with Mulvaney, a transgender TikTok influencer, during this year's NCAA basketball tournament.
On the day of the women's finals game, Mulvaney posted about a Bud Light-sponsored contest on Instagram, where she was recorded drinking the beer on camera.


"Happy March Madness!! Just found out this had to do with sports and not just saying it's a crazy month! In celebration of this sports thing @budlight is giving you the chance to win $15,000!" she wrote in the post.
"Share a video with #EasyCarryContest for a chance to win!! Good luck!" she continued, before adding the hashtag #budlightpartner.
Mulvaney, who has over 10 million followers on TikTok, also showcased a personalized Bud Light can that was sent to her by the company.
The conservative backlash was swift.


Kid Rock soon posted an Instagram video of himself shooting cases of Bud Light and the country music singer Travis Tritt announced that he would ban Anheuser-Busch beverages from his tour.
During a recent appearance on the podcast "Onward with Rosie O'Donnell," Mulvaney said that she was an "easy target" for criticism due to the fact that she only recently transitioned.
"It's so sad because everything I try to put out is positive," she said. "It's trying to connect with others that maybe don't understand me. It's to make people laugh, or to make a kid feel seen."
"The reason I think I'm an easy target is because I'm still new to this," she continued. "I think going after a trans woman who has been doing this for 20 years is a lot more difficult. Maybe they think there's some sort of chance with me that they can — but I mean, what is their goal?"

New UN-backed legal recommendations normalize sex with minors, outraged critics say​

A shocking report issued by international legal experts with the backing of the United Nations appears to open the floodgates to normalize sex with minors.

"Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law," the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists wrote in March with an assist from UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The report is titled "The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty."

Biden to veto GOP bill protecting women's sports, calls it 'discrimination' against transgender students​

The White House vowed Monday that President Biden will veto a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women's sports should it pass both houses fo Congress.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, or H.R. 734, was introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., and is expected to come to a vote on the House floor sometime this week.

"The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 734," the White House said in a statement. "For students nationwide, participating in sports and being part of a team is an important part of growing up, staying engaged in school, and learning leadership and life skills. H.R. 734 would deny access to sports for many families by establishing an absolute ban on transgender students—even those as young as elementary schoolers—playing on a team consistent with their gender identity."
