Anheuser-Busch apparently lost $27 Billion in market cap since putting the Tik Tok, um, person on a single can.  Although I should point out that coincided with a lot of market volatility due in part to idiots hyperventilating over debt ceiling nonsense.  Although I will also point out they doubled down some more, now that its pride month.  At this point, genuflecting to rednecks won’t save them.

This is my review of Grande Cuvèe Porter Baltique:

Hunter Biden’s lawyer decided to threaten us with a good time:

His lawyers have already told Justice Department officials that, if their client is charged with the gun crime, they will challenge the law under the Second Amendment, according to a person familiar with the private discussions granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. That could turn a case that is already fraught with political consequences into a high-profile showdown over the right to bear arms.

The dispute would come as the White House fights to tighten gun laws. And it could put conservative gun-rights enthusiasts, who typically criticize the Biden family, in unusual alignment with the president’s son.

This related to an incident first reported in 2021, but took place in 2018.  Hunter allegedly asked his daughter in law to dispose of a .38 caliber revolver in a trash can outside a local grocery store.  The Schutzstaffel US Secret Service at the time publicly denied involvement in the disposal because no member of Biden’s family was under their protection at the time.  Although the Schutzstaffel US Secret Service allegedly tried to retrieve the ATF Form 4473 from the FFL holder whom Hunter purchased the gun.

One of the many crimes Hunter is under investigation is making a false statement on a federal form, specifically the ATF Form 4473.  Which makes the whole thing fantastic news for 2A advocates!

The ATF Form 4473 used as a record for firearms transactions and background checks is rooted in the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was passed in the wake of multiple politically motivated assassinations over the course of the 1960’s.  The constitutionality of the act was always in question since filling out a six page form, and having a background check in order to purchase from a Federally licensed merchant all qualify as “infringement” under a plain reading of 2A.  The best argument in favor of this system is this is a “reasonable restriction” in the “interest of public safety,” which implies a concession to the fact it is infringement on 2A rights—but only on somebody determined by the state unworthy of their rights.

The other part that makes it great news?  The gun in question is not an evil black unregistered ghost gun meant exclusively to exterminate school children or brown people in a third world country determined to be undesirable by the state.  Nor is it one with a bump stock, and made on a 3D printer.  Its a .38 caliber revolver.  A weapon so milquetoast, so ubiquitous, so ingrained in American culture as an item so inherently disposable, people still search every bathroom in America to make sure there isn’t a .38 hidden behind the toilet.

Rights are to be recognized and respected by all, whose protections include everyone including the President’s crackhead son.

So not everything that comes from Canada can be bad right?  Take this beer for example.  Unfortunately, I only got my hands on one of these because the brewer insists this will age remarkably well.  It is almost stout-like in terms of color, complexity, and alcohol content. Notes of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and caramel make it even more confusing. In the end however, they insist this is technically a dark lager. Grande Cuvèe Porter Baltique: 4.3/5 10% ABV
