In seems that Woke has invaded every part of our lives, from school, to sports, business and theme parts and now a time where a person just wants to enjoy a cool beer but this time the backlash will cost as Anheuser-Busch has lost $5 billion in market value due to beer drinkers adverse reactions to their marketing association with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.  Trump in a Fox interview with Tucker Carlson has caused a lot of disbelief over his compliments of Gavin Newsom who is probably chomping his bits that Biden faces the reality of senility and does not run for reelection (compliments were not on how he was running the state)but rather how “nice” he was to Trump when he was president.                                                            

                                          

                  

In Dimmit, Texas at a dairy farm a large explosion occurred, cause as yet unknown, killing some 18,000 cows. Senator Feinstein has been released from the hospital as a growing number of Blues are calling for to resign as her absence diminishes their ability to pass the Biden Agenda. Portland which used to be known as the City of Roses and now more adequately known as the City of Homeless, Drugs and Violent Crimes has finally witnessed a university regaining its senses, Portland State University which disarmed its campus police 3 years ago has quietly rearmed them.
