ROBERT SPENCER: Biden Regime’s Department of Education Sues Columbia University, But Not For What You’d Expect. “Its civil rights investigation is not about the mistreatment of Jewish students, but of Palestinian students.”
Honestly, that’s exactly what I expected.
BIGOTRY: The liberal proponents of Occupy Wall Street are often the same people who think Southerners are inbred and Walmart shoppers slovenly miscreants. “A century ago, du Bois wrote: ‘The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the colour line.’ The problem of the 21st century is that of the class line.”
I HAD BEEN ASSURED BY THE VERY SMARTEST PEOPLE THAT MOUTH-BREATHING RED STATERS DIDN’T HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN TO MAINTAIN A BOYCOTT: Bud Light sales still falling as Modelo, Coors fight to keep their gains.
Revenue for Anheuser-Busch jumped 2.6% to $14.55 billion from higher prices, but volume sold dropped 0.6%, though it was less than Wall Street anticipated. The largest decline came from North America, where volume dropped 9.9%, largely due to sales of Bud Light.
Sales to retailers and wholesalers were down 13.7% and 10.7%, respectively, in the US.
“We’ve lost a whole generation of hardcore Bud Light shoppers,” Bump Williams of Bump Williams Consulting told Yahoo Finance. “It’s going to take us at least 10 years to try and recapture what we lost in one year.”
Williams said AB InBev will have to “buy” shoppers. As Gen Zs grow up and turn 21, they’ll turn to brands that made an impression on them in their younger years.
“They’re not going to remember any of that stuff [regarding the boycott]. When they come into the marketplace, they’re going to say, ‘Oh, boy … I know that I liked their advertising … I’m going to go grab one,” Williams added.
They could start by moving their marketing division back to St. Louis from New York — and hire locals.
ONE NEVERTRUMPER EVEN SAID HE’D BUY THE RED HAT AND GOLD SNEAKERS: Did Biden’s Love for Hamas Just Lose Him the Jewish Vote?
DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH, NETHERLANDS EDITION: Girl, 14, ‘gang-raped by up to ten children aged 11-16 was taken to a park by her boyfriend to be “loaned out” for sex assaults more than once, with the attacks filmed on their phones’ “Prosecutors arrested ten suspects aged between 11 and 16 – all reported by local outlets to be boys of ‘immigrant origin’ – and hauled them in for interrogation.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Columbia University makes no mention of Jews in Holocaust Remembrance Day post.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Boeing files notice to lay off more than 100 employees in Huntsville, Alabama. “Local media outlet WHNT said Boeing, which employs more than 3,000 people in Huntsville, planned to cut jobs because of delays related to the SLS Artemis mission, with NASA reportedly pushing back its Artemis II and III launches.”
CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Ninth Circuit Panel Rules Nonviolent Felons Don’t Lose Their Gun Rights. I believe this decision is correct, but expect unsympathetic en banc review by the Ninth Circuit as a whole.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Netanyahu Is a Magnifying Glass on Biden’s Pathetic Weakness. “We can blame age-related dementia all we want, but Joe Biden would have been a weak president even if his last brain cells hadn’t taken a permanent vacation. The predictable by-product of the leader of the world’s lone (for the moment) superpower being weak is that the worst people in the world find new ways to be awful.”
ONE TOOL OF THE REGIME ISN’T GOING TO RAT OUT ANOTHER: Why Isn’t the Dept of Education Reporting on Sex Abuse in Public Schools? “What we haven’t received, for two decades, is a comprehensive update from the government on the number of children who are sexually abused in public schools. It was all the way back in 2004 that the Department of Education released a report finding that, between kindergarten and 12th grade, 9.6% of students nationwide were subjected to sexual misconduct by a school employee. That’s one in ten students, totaling more than 5 million child victims in the system at any given time. Teachers, coaches, and bus drivers were the most common offenders.”

GOOD: $1 million for boys kicked out of high school for greenface photo. “Two 14-year-old boys were kicked out of their Catholic high school in 2020, because a three-year-old photo of them in green acne masks was interpreted as ‘blackface.’ The day before, they’d posted a photo in a white acne mask.”
NEWSWEEK: Biden Withholding Aid From Israel Sure Looks Impeachable. Nah, that kind of thing only matters if Trump does it.
“AMERICAN FECKLESSNESS:” THE BIDEN TRADEMARK.
If you weren't thinking about these things already, if you are Israel or India or Saudi Arabia, you will certainly be asking yourself: How can I safeguard myself, as much as possible when it comes to my wealth or defense, from American fecklessness?

VICTORIA TAFT: Just One More Thing, Stormy: Do You Know Anything About Trump’s Business Records? “Before she sashayed from the courtroom, Daniels was asked what might be the most important question of the trial. It came two hours into her second day of testimony. The question had to do with why everyone was gathered in court.”
ALEX BERENSON: Yep, they’re still trying to make H5N1 a thing. “The H5N1 story is only interesting for one reason (one they don’t get) – it shows how unlikely Covid is to have natural origins.”
