Anheuser-Busch Lost Perfect LGBT Equity Score for Not Defending Dylan Mulvaney

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Anheuser-Busch, the owner of Bud Light, was removed from a prominent LGBTQ organization’s equity index because the firm failed to defend Dylan Mulvaney.

After Bud Light released an ad with Mulvaney, conservatives pushed back against the “transgender” propaganda, which resulted in the company losing a lot of money, with the company trying to restore its brand, unsuccessfully, according to the Daily Wire.

The company never defending Mulvaney resulted in the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ political organization, removing the firm’s perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index. The group described the Index as the “national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees.”

USA Today obtained the letter from Eric Bloem, senior director of programs and corporate advocacy at the Human Rights Campaign, who informed executives at Anheuser-Busch that the firm has 90 days to respond before the company’s score is docked.

“Anheuser-Busch had a key moment to really stand up and demonstrate the importance of their values of diversity, equity and inclusion and their response really fell short,” Bloem said.

He added that the company’s move to back away from Mulvaney in the face of backlash shows employees, shareholders and customers that Anheuser-Busch does not “stand for diversity.”

Previously, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released a statement that not only didn’t say anything but also failed to mention Mulvaney in any way.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Whitworth wrote. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”

In a statement to CNN on Friday, Jay Brown, senior vice president of programs, research, and training at the Human Rights Campaign, said that the organization was troubled by the fact that the company quickly abandoned its “transgender” propaganda.

“When we saw the company working with Dylan, that was a good sign. It was a sign of inclusion,” Brown said. “What we were really disturbed by was the company’s reaction once the backlash started happening.”

Pro-Abortion Women Sterilized Themselves After Roe v. Wade Overturn

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) CNN recently interviewed a series of young pro-abortion women who sterilized themselves and celebrated it.

Since it became harder to murder unborn babies in the womb after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, leftist women, ages 25 to 28 years old, celebrated the fact that they will never be able to have children by eating cookies, having birthday presents for themselves and uploading videos about how they glad about their decision on TikTok.

One of these women, 25-year-old Dani Marietti, had a picnic to celebrate her sterilization. According to Blaze News, the layout featured chalk displays that read “See ya later suckas” above a drawing of the female reproductive system.

Marietti also had cookies at her celebration that read “Abortion is healthcare,” “My body my choice” and “Girls just wanna have fundamental human rights.” Some of the cookies also displayed edible drawings of female reproductive systems.

Kara Neils, 25, also sterilized herself and posted a series of TikTok videos about the process.

“Hi, I’m Kara and I got sterilized last week,” Neils stated in one of the videos. She also described the process as “really, really easy.”

Mariah Marsh, another pro-abortion woman, had her surgery after it became clear that people on the pro-life side decided to defend unborn babies by trying to ban abortion pills. As a birthday present, Marsh’s fallopian tubes were removed.

“I knew that the only way I could really protect myself is to go ahead and get the surgery,” Marsh said.

According to Marsh, another reason why she decided to sterilize herself was because of the federal battle over mifepristone, the drug, when combined with misoprostol, that can cause a medical abortion.

“It does make me happy that I made the decisions that I made because it validates my thought process, which was… they’re just gonna come… for… any access to care that a woman can make on her own,” she said.

AOC Attended Jordan Neely’s Funeral, Took Selfies with Fans

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made an appearance at the funeral of Jordan Neely, a man who previously died on a subway after Daniel Penny, a former Marine, defended other people from him.

Ocasio-Cortez was seen at the funeral of Neely on Friday, according to the Post Millennial. The homeless man died after being placed in a chokehold by Penny after Neely threatened passengers on a New York City subway car.

At the funeral, one member of the public asked Ocasio-Cortez what she thought about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calling Penny a Good Samaritan, to which she replied “He should read a Bible,” implying that DeSantis is not a good Christian. Despite these remarks, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t present herself as a Christian during the funeral either by constantly posing for photographs with people from her security-protected SUV.

The Daily Mail reported that Ocasio-Cortez was not the only prominent leftist who attended the funeral. Among others who came to the funeral for political activism were Rev. Al Sharpton, New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams, and Lt. Gpv. Antonio Delgado.

After Neely died on a subway train, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that he was “murdered.” She expressed her anger toward Penny because he wasn’t charged at the time.

“But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges,” she wrote.

“It’s disgusting.”

Even though Ocasio-Cortez tried to portray Neely as a peaceful homeless person, the criminal record of the man shows otherwise.

“I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet,” the man who has been arrested over 40 times said.

Penny stepped in only after Neely started threatening passengers, according to one of the witnesses.

Since then, Penny was charged with manslaughter. So far, the GiveSendGo fundraiser has received over $2 million in donations.

MURDOCK: ‘Border’ Is Where Biden’s Normalcy Goes to Die

MURDOCK: ‘Border’ Is Where Biden’s Normalcy Goes to Die

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Joe Biden became president largely by promising to Make America Normal Again.

The shambolic U.S.-Mexico “border” confirms how Biden shattered that promise. There is nothing normal about the coast-to-coast disaster over which he governs, thanks largely to Biden’s deeply abnormal definition of border security.

Under Biden, the southern “border” has become a giant, open-air staging ground from which illegal aliens bludgeon U.S. territorial integrity and national sovereignty.

Southwest Border apprehensions
Southwest Border apprehensions – May 18 2023

U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,671,266 illegal aliens during President Donald J. Trump’s final 27 months in power. In Biden’s first 27 months, they encountered a breathtaking 5,249,144 illegals—up a skin-crawling 314%.

In Fiscal Year 2020, the last that Trump fully controlled, 69,000 illegal migrants were detected on the “border” but got away into America’s interior. In FY 2022 (all Biden’s watch), gotaways hit 599,000—up a mind-blowing 768% versus FY ’20.

Federal agents busted an Afghan illegal alien on May 10 at Otay Mesa, California, near San Diego. His fingerprints confirmed his spot on the terrorist watch list.

This fanatic is hardly alone. Terror-list designees arrested at the “border” have exploded from three in FY 2020, with Trump fully in control, to 15 in FY 2021, 98 in FY 2022, and 85 through April—just halfway through FY 2023.

And these were those who were intercepted.

Aside from the 183 suspected terrorists apprehended on Biden’s watch, how many walk America’s streets today? Who knows?

As if the U.S. needed more homeless people, illegal aliens who get waved into America now clog the sidewalks and alleys of El Paso and other cities.

Even more illegals receive court dates for asylum hearings—in 2026, 2027, and beyond. What will they do until then? Who knows?

Free bus rides whisk illegal aliens to Chicago, where some have slept on the floors of local police stations. A plan to house 250 to 500 illegals in the abandoned South Shore High School enraged predominantly black locals.

“Send them back!” some yelled at a community meeting on the matter. One protester’s placard read: “Build the Wall 2024.”

“We have no jobs in our community, and we have been fighting for jobs for decades,” resident Natasha Dunn told the Chicago Sun-Times. “So, please tell me, how is this fair?”

Rather than instruct illegal aliens on incoming buses to return to the southern “border” and swim home, Mayor Eric Adams, D-NYC, tried housing them in government-school gymnasia. Parents erupted, and Adams backed down.

Regardless, he still shoehorns illegals into luxury hotel rooms that cost taxpayers some $258-per-night each. Cost to aliens: $0.00.

Midtown Manhattan’s legendary Roosevelt Hotel is becoming an illegal-alien shelter.

“Almost 50 percent of those hotel rooms are taken up by migrant asylum seekers that [sic] we are paying for,” Adams said. “So instead of monies coming from people who are visiting us and spending in our tourism, in our Broadway plays, instead of them using those hotels, we are using those hotels.”

“New York’s combined state and local hotel taxes total 14.75%,” the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s Ira Mehlman observed. “So, not only is the city paying to house the migrants, they are losing substantial revenues on hotel occupancy taxes.”

These are just a few glimpses of the chaos that flows downhill from Biden’s busted “border.” Worse of all, this is neither an accident nor incompetence. At this pace, Biden’s deliberate policy will vacuum 9.3 million illegal aliens into America before his current term ends.

Biden and his comrades are betting that these illegals are Future Democrats of America who will be so grateful for being allowed to invade the USA that they will vote Democrat, flip GOP states Democrat, permanently transform the White House into the private property of the Democrat National Committee, and devolve America into a neo-Marxist, one-party state.

In November 2024, Biden and the Democrats deserve to vanish beneath an electoral landslide that is anything but normal.

Border Crossings in 4 Months Outnumber 6 States’ Populations

Border Crossings in 4 Months Outnumber 6 States’ Populations

(The Center Square) The number of people illegally entering the U.S. solely through the southern border in the first four months of this year is greater than the population of Delaware, the home state of the president, and the populations of five other states. 

So far this year, at least 1,047,528, people have been apprehended or reported evading capture, according to data analyzed by The Center Square. The total is greater than the estimated populations of Delaware (1,031,985), South Dakota (923,484), North Dakota (780,588), Alaska (732,294), Vermont (647,156) and Wyoming (583,279). 

The numbers are larger than 290 of the 300 largest cities in the U.S., edging out the population of Austin, Texas, which is currently the 10th largest city. 

Combined, they also total more than the individual estimated populations of 75 countries and territories, including Figi, Luxembourg and the Bahamas. 

In April, at least 284,864 foreign nationals were apprehended or reported as gotaways, those who evade capture after illegally entering the U.S. In March, apprehensions and gotaways totaled at least 266,824; February’s numbers totaled at least 279,842; January’s totaled at least 215,998, according to the data. 

The data is derived from official CBP reports in addition to gotaway data obtained by The Center Square from a Border Patrol agent. The agent provided the information on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. It only includes Border Patrol data and excludes Office of Field Operations data, meaning the numbers are higher than reported. 

CBP does not make public the gotaway data. If it did, the numbers would be higher. 

Last month was an anomaly, with the Rio Grande Valley Sector of Texas reporting roughly one-third fewer gotaways than it normally does, which indicates in part that there are fewer agents in the field to detect and report them. The majority of agents have been pulled off the line, away from their statutory duty of homeland security, to instead process a record number of foreign nationals who’ve illegally entered the U.S. to be released instead of removed. 

The gotaway numbers also don’t tell the whole story, the Border Patrol agent and others in law enforcement have explained to The Center Square, because they don’t include unknown and unrecorded gotaways – as in the case of the RGV last month. Not all gotaways are recorded because not all are identified, meaning the number of those illegally entering the U.S. is expected to be much greater than reported. 

NYC Marine Hero Speaks Up: ‘I Am Not a White Supremacist’

NYC Marine Hero Speaks Up: ‘I Am Not a White Supremacist’ 

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Daniel Penny, the hero retired Marine and the individual charged in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a mentally ill homeless man who threatened bystanders, has finally broken his silence in an interview with the New York Post.

The incident, which occurred on May 1, sparked the outrage of leftist BLM activists who rushed to call Penny a “murderer.” Before being put in a chokehold, Neely was screaming at passengers, demanding food and saying he was not afraid of dying or going to jail for life. The unhinged homeless man was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

“This had nothing to do with race,” the 24-year-old ex-Marine told the Post. “I judge a person based on their character. I’m not a white supremacist,” Penny added, responding to leftist attacks accusing him of being a racist.

Shortly after the incident, leftist activists, including self-proclaimed socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, pressed the embattled Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to file charges against Penny.

“I mean, it’s, it’s a little bit comical. Everybody who’s ever met me can tell you, I love all people, I love all cultures,” Penny continued. “You can tell by my past and all my travels and adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before this happened.”

In response to allegations that he was a subway vigilante, Penny responded, “I’m a normal guy.”

Penny told the Post he was heading to the gym after attending school before the encounter occurred.

“There’s a pool there. I like to swim. I was living in the East Village. I take the subway multiple times a day. I think the New York transit system is the best in the world and I’ve been all over the world,” he continued.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the Bragg-backed charges continue to generate intense scrutiny from concerned New Yorkers and conservatives who championed the former marine for defending the individuals in the subway train.

A witness in the subway told the Post that she thanked Penny after he confronted Neely. “I hope he has a great lawyer, and I’m praying for him,” an unidentified woman said after the incident.

“And I pray that he gets treated fairly, I really do. Because after all of this ensued, I went back and made sure that I said ‘Thank you’ to him,” she continued.

Suspect of Teen Rape IDed as Illegal Migrant from El Salvador

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Local authorities have apprehended a suspect in connection with the brutal rape of a 15-year-old girl, which occurred on May 16 in a wooden area in Silver Spring, Maryland.  

An ICE spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that the suspect has been identified as 20-year-old Jose Roberto Hernandez-Espinal, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

According to law enforcement officials, the victim and a friend were enjoying lunch along the Northwest Branch Trail before they were approached by the violent man with a machete. Hernandez-Espinal proceeded to steal their belongings and forced the 15-year-old girl to a secluded part of the park before raping her, as reported by Fox 5 DC on Thursday.

The girl told law enforcement she thought she was going to die, according to local reports. Montgomery County police officers quickly mobilized after the rape and apprehended the 20-year-old Salvadorian national.  

“It’s disturbing when any crime of this nature takes place – you never like to see this as a police officer – you want the community to feel safe,” said Lt. Charles Smith, an officer with the with Maryland-National Capital Park Police. “You want the park to be safe,” he added. 

According to Fox News, the suspect, now facing charges of first-degree rape, first- and second-degree assault and armed robbery, allegedly entered the U.S. in May 2013.

Detailing the harrowing experience, a relative of the 15-year-old, who was rushed to the hospital after the rape, said she is still in the hospital trying to recover and rest.

Police said cases like this rarely occurred in the area but believe that there could be other victims.

“Hernandez-Penal was interviewed by detectives and made statements of involvement,” local law enforcement said in a press release, also adding: “Detectives believe that there may be additional victims of sexual assault by Hernandez-Penal that have not contacted police.”

McCarthy Rips Biden, ‘Socialists’ for Stonewalling Debt Ceiling Talks

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., torched President Joe Biden’s unwillingness to hold debt ceiling negotiations, expressing his frustration over what he perceives as the White House and the far-left’s stonewalling tactics.

In a fiery post on Twitter, McCarthy accused the “socialist wing” of the Democratic Party of controlling Biden. “The White House is moving backward in negotiations,” McCarthy said Saturday. “Unfortunately, the socialist wing of the Democrat Party appears to be in control—especially with President Biden out of the country.” 

McCarthy’s statement alluded to Biden’s ongoing trip to the Saturday G-7 Summit in Japan. The president is expected to return to Washington on Sunday, reported CNBC.

“Unfortunately, the White House moved backwards,” McCarthy told reporters Saturday referring to the ongoing debt ceiling talk, also adding, “I don’t think we’re going to be able to move forward until the president can get back in the country.”

At a press conference in Japan, Biden dismissed concerns about the debt ceiling, saying he was “not at all” concerned about a potential default.

The debt ceiling, however, has become a contentious issue between the GOP and Democrats. The Biden White House previously refused to meet with Republican leaders if they attempted to use the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip to decrease the nation’s debt and rein in wasteful government spending.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned Congress and the White House that the federal government could run out of funds to pay its bill as soon as June 1. In turn, she has held closed-door meetings with Wall Street bankers to discuss the potential effects of the default amid the June deadline.

Several GOP lawmakers have reacted negatively via Twitter to Democrats’ unwillingness to control the debt.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., accused Democrats of reckless spending. “The Left’s number one priority is to make the public dependent on government handouts,” he said Saturday. “That’s why it’s vital that we pass work requirements included in the House debt ceiling bill. Every able-bodied adult should have a job and all the benefits that come with it,” the Florida senator continued.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., echoed Scott’s concerns about tackling the debt, calling on the government to act on China, which he said is “one of the biggest drivers” of the debt and job losses in the U.S.

On the House side, Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, slammed Biden, accusing him of “playing games” and refusing to work towards prevent a debt default.”

Dan Bongino Reveals Shocking Details Behind Abrupt Fox Exit

Dan Bongino Reveals Shocking Details Behind Abrupt Fox Exit

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Renowned cable news host and conservative commentator, Dan Bongino, has broken his silence about his abrupt departure in April from the Fox News Channel that has made him a household name.

Bongino, known for his fiery and thought-provoking commentary, left conservative viewers puzzled and speculating whether his exit was tied to Tucker Carlson’s infamous exit.

During an interview with The Megyn Kelly Show Friday, Bongino revealed that his exit from the conservative channel was related to a contract dispute over the ownership of the show.

“They wanted the show,” Bongino told Kelly Friday, “I just had a different vision for my role at the network and that’s okay. I’m not the Saturday guy, Megyn I’m sorry. I can’t work six days a week. I’ve got young kids and I’m not working six days a week.” 

Bongino, who also owns several businesses and hosts The Dan Bongino Show on Rumble, dispersed leftist rumors that he was forcibly ousted by Fox executives. “I definitely was not fired. Liberals are just making that up,” Bongino said, later touting his businesses.

“I’ve got my own stuff I’ve got my own investments. I’ve got Rumble. I’ve got my podcast, my radio show,” Bongino continued. 

As soon as it was announced Bongino was departing Fox, several outlets insinuated that this was tied to the $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, but he dispersed those rumors last month in an emotional episode of his Rumble podcast. 

“I just give him the middle finger it’s just stupid they’re just making it up,” Bongino told Kelly about several media outlets, including Los Angeles Magazine, which falsely claimed that he had been fired. 

In terms of contract obligations, Bongino said he was financially able to reject Fox’s offers. “Money buys freedom,” he said. “I hate to say it but it’s true. I know you’re not in this strictly for the cheese but let’s be honest, you know, [Money] buys you freedom and I was in a position with them where I could walk away from a show on Fox and say I’m sorry, that’s not my vision.”

After departing from Fox, Bongino has been diligently engaged in various projects, one of which includes the aforementioned Rumble show.

Kelly highlighted the missed opportunity of replacing Carlson with Bongino at Fox, as the network grapples with significantly low viewership figures, rendering Bongino’s departure counterproductive.

“I’m sure they’re regretting it now. You’re one of the people they could have slid into that eight o’clock time slot and win back over those angry viewers,” Kelly said.

Taylor Lorenz Had ‘Privileged Access’ to Twitter Before Elon Musk Took Over

Taylor Lorenz Had ‘Privileged Access’ to Twitter Before Elon Musk Took Over

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) An independent journalist Paul Thacker revealed on Thursday in the latest round of Twitter Files that a “journalist” and a “banning queen” Taylor Lorenz had “privileged access” to the higher-ups at the social media company before Elon Musk bought Twitter.

Thacker reported that Lorenz communicated with those who controlled Twitter’s backend, using her connections as a way to ban certain accounts and support others she worked with in her reporting.

The journalist reminded everyone at the beginning that after Musk bought the company and took over as CEO, Lorenz was “apoplectic,” and had warned that Musk was “opening the gates of hell” by allowing free speech on the platform.

As he explained, months prior, Lorenz was going after numerous accounts, including those that were not as popular as her own. One of those accounts, @fearthefloof, was banned from the platform and then mysteriously deactivated, despite “no ban evasion, abuse, harassment toward Taylor Lorenz, platform manipulation or the sharing of personal information.” It remains suspended to this day because the person behind the account dared to reveal that Lorenz comes from a family of millionaires.

Then, Thacker pointed out that Lorenz “seems to work in concert with her sources,” saying that after she doxxed Libs of TikTok, Alejandra Caraballo sent a letter to Twitter asking to remove the popular conservative account from the platform. Lorenz quoted Carabello in her article not long after that.

The privileged access to Twitter didn’t stop there for Lorenz. She was also able to avoid any criticism on the platform. After Tucker Carlson mocked her on then-his show, Twitter put out a notice telling the GET team asking them to “keep an eye on things.”

“Can we please Monitor the conversation around @taylorlorenz?” the request said.

“She was specifically targeted by Tucker Carlson… and I think she’s going to be in the center of an abuse campaign on the platform. She’s had tremendous trouble with abuse on her before and we need to be careful with her.”

Thacker said that there was no evidence that the platform provided similar levels of support to other journalists.
