OMG, the NY Post/Karol Markowicz comparison of Pete Hegseth to Brett Kavanaugh is completely wrong, and now Pete Hegseth goes there to defend himself

 Where else? but in The Wall Street Journal here:

Like veterans returning from any war, we drank beers to manage the reality of what we had faced. But we never did anything improper, and we treated everyone with respect.

Food prices making new all-time-highs in August 2024: Beef, beer, yogurt, ice cream, rice

 Many other basic foods, not shown, are still near their all-time-highs, like dried beans for example, or potatoes, sugar, and flour, but you knew that if you've been grocery shopping recently.

Eggs, at $3.204/dozen on average nationally in August 2024, are higher right now than their average annual price EVER: $2.857 in 2022, $2.796 in 2023, and $2.469 in 2015. Eggs averaged $2.798 in the first half of 2024.

Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis' natural constituency continues to flex its muscles

 Anheuser-Bush U.S. Profits Down 30% After Dylan Mulvaney Fiasco :


Anheuser-Busch InBev felt the sting of the Bud Light boycott, reporting a 10.5% drop in revenue and a nearly 30% plunge in core profit in the US during the second quarter — and has lost nearly $40 billion in value.

Yet the Belgian-based beer giant company continued to bury its head over the ill-fated tie-up with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney that has seen Bud Light on the precipice of losing its two-decade reign as the top-selling brand in the US.

Scott Walker, who ought to know, urges DeSantis to spend less while remembering what made Trump's campaign unique


He's from Milwaukee. For president in 2016 he spent like he was blitzed on Blatz.

 Here:

From the moment he opened his mouth at the first presidential primary debate in Cleveland, he took command of the discussion. Every voter knew he was going to build the wall, drain the swamp, and prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.

Yeah, build the wall. 

Too bad about that.

On the Sunday grill: My May 1984 33-cent hamburger should cost 96-cents in May 2023, instead it costs $1.24

 It's nearly 30% overpriced.

The inflation-adjusted pound of ground beef over the period should cost $3.82.

I buy the good stuff, however. My burger costs $1.50, washed down with a cheap pint of Hamm's Beer for 83-cents.

I'll be back to beans and rice on Monday.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Donald Trump Jr. is afraid Republicans will lose lots of campaign contributions if conservatives keep opposing Bud's Tranny Fluid

 “So here’s the deal. Anheuser-Busch totally shit the bed with this Dylan Mulvaney thing. I’m not, though, for destroying an American, an iconic company for something like this,” Trump declared, perhaps unaware that A-B is now owned by Belgian beer giant InBev.

More.

Like its beer, Germany is the cause of, and the solution to, all of Europe's problems


The Bundeskanzler, quoted here :

"That is why it is a conscious decision on our part to continue the activities of business enterprises in the area of energy supply with Russia," Scholz added.

Move over bread and circuses, Bernie brings beer and music


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Fans danced gleefully to music while guzzling beer. Smiles abounded and deafening cheers arose without warning. And, in the restroom, someone was smoking what smelled like marijuana.

Yes, it was a concert. Yes, it was a party. ...

Sanders fans filled the floor and the first level at the U.S. Cellular Center in downtown Cedar Rapids, where the concessions were open and individual vendors walked around selling beer and bottled water. The men’s restroom on the floor level had the distinct odor of marijuana smoke.
