Whoops: Congress Failed To Actually Fund Efforts To “Rip And Replace” Chinese Telecom Gear From U.S. Networks

You might recall that the FCC under both Trump and Biden has made a big deal about forcing U.S. telecoms to rip out Huawei gear from their networks, under the allegation that the gear is used to spy on Americans (you’re to ignore, of course, that the United States spies on everyone, constantly, and has broadly supported backdooring all manner of sensitive telecom products globally).

The “October surprise” worked its way into the political jargon in 1980 to describe the Carter administration’s efforts to obtain the release of 52 American hostages in Iran.

What is the outrage around Bud Light’s collaboration with a trans influencer

“From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney,” the statement read. “This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”

All of these snowflakes boycotting Bud Light for one single can that’s not even available for sale to the public?! I just laugh! It’s all about marketing and sales! It’s not “wokeness”, it’s the “free market”! That’s capitalism! Besides, didn’t have a problem drinking Bud Light, before, and Bud Light was marketing to the LGBTQ+ community long before “wokeness” became a thing!
