A new beer brand that sprang into existence alongside the far-reaching boycott of Bud Light has already surpassed $1 million in sales and can now be found in stores in two states.

When Bud Light teamed with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney back in April, one father decided to take matters into his own hands and launched his own beer -- Conservative Dad's Ultra Right.

In a commercial announcing Ultra Right, Seth Weathers described the brew as a “100 percent woke-free beer."

In a video released a few weeks later, Weathers vowed, "Ultra Right beer and this movement will never be stopped, no matter what they throw at us."

Well, apparently, he was right.

While Ultra Right was initially only for sale online, it is now being distributed to stores in Georgia and Arkansas, and Weathers is working on adding several other states to that list.

"We're sending this beer out by the tractor-trailer load," he told Fox Business on Wednesday.

"First, they mocked us," Weathers said in a statement. "They said we’d never sell any beer, they said we’d never get the beer made, they said we would never get distributors, and then they said we’d never get shelf space in stores.

"I’m proud to say, we’ve accomplished all those things in a matter of months."


Weathers added that Ultra Right isn't just anti-woke in name only -- he's actually putting his money where his mouth is.

"Conservatives have had enough of woke corporations, and they’re fighting back with their wallet," he said. "We’re doing our part to fight for the causes that matter to our customers by donating a portion of sales to defeating woke school board members across the country."

Fox reported that Ultra Right has surpassed $1 million in sales, gained over 10,000 customers, and sold 20,000 six-packs within two weeks of its launch.

And appearing in stores will bring even greater success.

Weathers is right, of course.

Conservatives cannot continue to give our money to the uber-woke corporations that are actively working to undermine our values. We need to seek out companies like Ultra Right that proudly support American ideals.

(FAITHWIRE) -- A stunning proportion of Americans recently reported “interacting with dead relatives” through dreams and other means, according to new survey results from the Pew Research Center.

In fact, more than half — 53% – of Americans have had such interactions with deceased loved ones, with that proportion saying they’ve interacted with the individual in a dream or through “some other form.”

Parsing through that statistic a bit more, 46% of Americans reported the interaction happening in a dream, while 31% said it unfolded another way, Pew noted.

WND is now on Trump's Truth Social! Follow us @WNDNews

The installations, dating to around the 9th century BCE and found at the City of David archaeological site, were likely an important part of the economy, due to their proximity to the royal palace and temple, the IAA stated.

Researchers have struggled to pinpoint their precise use since no site of its kind has ever been found in Israel.

We hear the words "women's empowerment" all the time these days.

Generally, the words conjure up images of manly-looking women in tight business suits climbing up the corporate ladder as they step on the heads of their male counterparts.

Or, in the alternative, it is used as a justification for rampant female promiscuity and immodesty.

In some cases, "women's" empowerment doesn't refer to women at all.

So it was a refreshing change to hear the answer that this year's "Mrs. American" gave to the question, "When have you felt the most empowered?

Hannah Neeleman, the newly crowned Mrs. American 2023, is a 33-year-old rancher, entrepreneur and social media sensation known for her Ballerina Farm brand. With 6.5 million TikTok and 6.1 million Instagram followers, Neeleman's family has captivated the online world, according to Evie Magazine.


Born in Springville, Utah, Neeleman initially gained fame as a talented ballerina, which led her to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York.

 


In 2017, Neeleman and her husband established Ballerina Farm, a successful farm-to-table business that sells a variety of farm products and kitchen essentials.


The couple has seven children. Neeleman has fascinated the social media world with frequent posts of herself preparing beautiful homemade meals, utilizing raw milk and farm-raised meat, and just working on her farm with her children.


Before being crowned Mrs. American in 2023, she had also been Miss New York City in 2010 and Mrs. Utah in 2021.

With all her accomplishments, Neeleman would have plenty of options when asked, "When have you felt the most empowered?

But her answer highlighted the most important and empowering aspect of being a woman: motherhood.

"I have felt this feeling seven times now as I bring these sacred souls to the earth … after I hold that newborn baby in my arms. The feeling of motherhood … is the most empowering feeling I have ever felt," Neeleman said.


"There is no better answer," one X user wrote.

 

"They were really trying to get a lib-style answer. She did not disappoint," another tweet read.

In Proverbs 31, the Bible talks about the "virtuous woman." But if you read the passage carefully, she really is also an "empowered woman." She owns a business (verse 18 says she makes sure her trading is profitable) but also manages her household and cares for her husband and her kids (they rise up and call her "blessed").

An empowered woman is a Christian concept.

An empowered woman can be a beautiful concept.

And unlike the left's concept of it, we don't have to be promiscuous or look like men to achieve it.

There are fresh calls for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to retire Wednesday after the Kentucky Republican froze for the second time in 35 days, unable to speak when asked a question.

McConnell, 81, stopped in a silent daze for more than 30 seconds after a reporter asked if he would run for re-election during a media gaggle in Covington, Kentucky.

Once it was apparent McConnell had frozen again, an aide approached him to ask, "Did you hear the question, senator?"

McConnell continued his unresponsiveness, clutching firmly to the podium.

When it appeared the senator might be aware again, the aide then asked:

"Somebody else have a question? Please speak up."

A McConnell spokesperson indicated later: "Leader McConnell felt momentarily lightheaded and paused during his press conference today."

Is news we hear every single day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

As WND previously reported, McConnell also froze for some 19 seconds during a news conference July 26, as concerned staffers finally escorted off the 81-year-old senator.

Meanwhile, comments online reacting to the latest McConnell freeze include:

"He needs to step down."

"SECOND time in 35 days."

"Honestly, this is cruel treatment of older people who are sick. He's not doing well. Yet, his aides tell reporters to speak up like he's frozen he can't hear. Then, she opens it up to more questions from reporters. That's really cruel treatment."

"Why's he still working?"

"Because those in power put him there 🤦‍♂️"

"Did you try turning off and back on again?"

"Bro is seeing the grim reaper in these crowds."

"I think he was just making a poopie."

"Who is using the lag switch on this simulation?"

"Glitch McConnell is perfect example of the need for term limits."

"'Glitch McConnell' is the best thing I have seen all day."

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today's ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film "Sound of Freedom" – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children's "right to consent" on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

"Pedophiles are sitting back right now," says Ballard, "and going, ‘We've been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don't have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us' – IN AMERICA!"

Ballard's concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, "THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION."

But that's just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites' affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled "THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A." WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print esdition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.

Hollywood star James Woods is sounding the alarm about the desire of global powers to keep the world's populace in extreme captivity, saying, "They want you in chains. Not visible, but in chains."

In a message posted on X Wednesday, the actor specified examples of invisible shackles to keep people in bondage.

"Electric cars, that can be traced and turned off by them. Electric heat, electronic currency, traceable phones, 'cookies,' medical 'passports,' masks."

Woods was commenting on a brief video he shared listing the so-called reasons and excuses given by government authorities and leftists for draconian lockdowns and restrictions related to the COVID pandemic.

The video displays a short statements that the public was told about the coronavirus restrictions:

"It's just a mask.

"It's just two meters. (six feet)

"It's just three weeks.

"It's just non-essential businesses.

"It's just non-essential workers.

"It's just until we work it out.

"It's just a bar.

"It's just a restaurant.

"It's just care homes.

"It's just schools.

"It's just to keep overwhelming medical services.

"It's just until the cases go down.

"It's just to flatten the curve.

"It's just to keep others from being scared.

"It's just for a few more weeks.

"It's just gyms, salons, spas & sport.

"It's just churches & mosques.

"It's just singing.

"It's just no happy birthday, no shared cakes.

"It's just travel.

"It's just three months of lockdown.

"It's just a one-way system.

"It's just until we get a vaccine.

"It's just an app.

"It's just to let people know you're safe to be around.

"It's just to let others know who you've been in contact with.

"It's just some areas.

"It's just government guidelines.

"It's just for your own good.

"It's just our more weeks.

"It's just Christmas canceled.

"It's just school, they can do it from home.

"It's just almost a year, it will be better soon.

"It's just a swab.

"It's just a card to store your medical history.

"It's just so you can travel.

"It's just for your passport.

"It's just so you can go into stores & pubs.

"It's just so you can send your kids to school.

"It's just so you can get your drivers license.

"It's just so you can vote.

"It's just so you can go to a concert.

"It's just a facility, to keep you separate from the others.

"It's just a few more years.

"It's just for those people.

"It's just just better we keep it this way."

Is news about the COVID pandemic (and everything else) actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

The video concluded with three short statements as a clarion call to resist any future lockdowns and restrictions:

"It's not just. It's unjust."

"Start resisting now."

"They won't stop."

The video, shared originally by National Mouth editor Tim Young, has more than 1.4 million views.

Young himself noted, "Whoever made this is brilliant. Never forget how tyrannical our governments became during just 3 years ago."

Comments in reaction to the video include:

"Never again."

"I've seen how this movie ends not getting on that train. Come & find me."

"Total government control. They won't stop until they have it."

"The shackle-less slavery system. Why limit yourselves to just a part of the populace when you can have the whole thing?"

"Enslaved people inevitably break those chains. How long will Americans tolerate modern slavery?"

"Orwell 1984 is mild compared to this dystopian nightmare of cradle to grave government and cameras watching every move we make and nothing is sacred, and there would no secrets no privacy, and individual thinking is verboten. Scary times, but believers know Christ is coming back, and in the end, God wins."

"Mr. Woods ... This should be our new Emergency Broadcast Alert System to wake everyone up."

"As we catapult into a future of digitization, we must not forget the invaluable price of our personal freedoms. We're being sold a narrative of convenience and progress, but at what cost? Electric cars, digital currencies, traceable phones – these aren't just advancements in technology, they're potential chains that can bind us. 'Cookies' that track our every move online, medical 'passports' that dictate where we can go, masks that have become symbols of compliance rather than safety. We must resist the allure of this gilded cage. It's time to question who truly benefits from these 'advancements,' and whether we're prepared to trade our freedom for the illusion of progress."

"What happens when the majority of humans tell them no we won't comply?"

"It's just death."

Idalia is producing storm surges of up to 16 feet in some areas, damaging winds howling up to 125 miles per hour, and historic freshwater flooding that has completely encompassed Floridian roadways, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee called Idalia "an unprecedented event" as no major hurricanes – those classified as Category 3 or higher – have made landfall through the Big Bend region since hurricane data was first recorded in 1851. The NWS also said "no one" has witnessed a storm strengthen to such magnitude in such a short time.

Bud Light has launched a new marketing campaign to try to win over NFL fans ahead of the upcoming season, and to say it hasn’t been warmly received would be an understatement.

The Anheuser-Busch InBev beer brand has tried pandering to its former customer base through a number of ad campaigns since April, when it paid a man who claims to be a woman money for reasons that remain unclear.

As a result of Bud Light’s social media partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, the brand has been toppled as the country’s best-selling beer and has become a punchline that has lost its parent company hundreds of millions of dollars.

But football season is upon us -- the Kansas City Chiefs host the Detroit Lions in the opener on Sept. 7 -- and Bud Light has seen this as an opportunity to try to get beer drinkers back onboard.

Naturally, a reputation is a lot easier to destroy than it is to build, and so the campaign is not going well.

In a Monday social media post, the brand shared a clip of a perfectly diverse crowd of people enjoying Bud Light and used it to promote free NFL Sunday Ticket packages:

By Tuesday morning, the video had racked up just 12 reposts, 160 likes and 275 comments -- many of which expressed their disinterest in the beer:

Charles Goldman with A to Z Sports also tried to push limited edition Chiefs cans of Bud Light onto football fans:

Even fans of the defending Super Bowl champions were not interested:

This time one year ago, Bud Light was sitting on its throne as the country’s best-selling brew and enjoying four decades of esteem from beer drinkers.

After a disastrous five months, it doesn’t appear a gimmicky NFL campaign is going to mend any fences.

Are you still avoiding Bud Light?

Bud Light hired woke advertising executives who spiked the brand and forever tarnished it in the eyes of countless Americans who wanted a beer and not to fund the delusional lifestyle of a man playing dress-up.

The company hasn’t apologized for entering the culture war on the side of the left and apparently expects normal, everyday people to simply forget everything and move on.

AB InBev executives should probably at this point accept that one of the company’s premiere brands is now an afterthought for many, many people.

Meanwhile, other companies should continue to take notice.
