Steve Deace explains the new religion behind Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney STEVE DEACE SHOW
April 12, 2023 – Why do brands like Bud Light make marketing decisions — like promoting transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney — that will lose customers and money?
While it may seem like a mystery, Steve Deace has some answers.
He says people “still believe there’s this neutral mechanism in our culture called ‘the marketplace’ where eventually these things get sifted and filtered, right? And the people decide if they want this or they want that or they don’t want that and they do want this, right?”
He continues, “I don’t think that’s true any more.”
As worship of God wanes, a new religion has begun to take its place. Deace believes that this is why brands like Bud Light are completely ignoring the desires of their target demographics.
He says, “The idea that it will just be a religionless society — oh no, it will not. There will be another religion. Another religion will emerge to take the place of the one that vacated said space. Nature abhors a vacuum. Something will emerge to take that place.”

Laughing at the Lies of the Left [3:55] D PARKER
We are in a battle between good and evil, but evil cannot be honest about its true nature so it must lie. Laughing at their lies is the best way to counter them.
“… A Constitutional Republic, Not A Democracy.
The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The ideal of a constitutional Republic is individual liberty.
A democracy always degenerates in the dictatorship which promises government guaranteed equality and security but it delivers nothing but poverty and serfdom for the people that robs and rules. America was founded as a constitutional republic, to safeguard the liberties of the people against the tyranny of democracy or a one-man dictatorship.
In this century great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic into a democracy. The foremost of tactic of the subverters is the subversion of language, by calling America a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term. The totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government.”
APR 12, 2023 -The New Saint Andrews College recently produced a very powerful video entitled LIES, [3:55] with the thesis that lies lose all their power when the deceived become wise. With laughter being the best weapon against these lies, it’s the ‘assault weapon’ of choice in the cultural civil war in which we are engaged.
This is why the fascist far-left hates President Trump, Tucker Carlson, and others — because they puncture their lies and have a good time doing it.
The forces of freedom have lightness and laughter on our side. We have the ideas that work: individual liberty, and limited government. Economic freedom and property rights have sown prosperity for ages. We can be honest because we’re the good guys and gals. And we can laugh at their lies and drive them insane. Better make that more insane, considering where they are now.
Join Samuel Goldman, J.J. Kimche, and Sara Yael Hirschhorn for a discussion about Kahane, Taubes, and the enduring troubles of American Jewish liberalism.
Meir Kahane and Jacob Taubes were prophets of an unsettling vision. To them, human history did not follow a trajectory of incremental progress, where things generally improve over time. Rather, Jewish history taught them that human events can change radically, for good or bad, and that such change was not the result of a general, progressive providence, but of a transcendent yet unpredictable God—the God of the Hebrew Bible.
In line with their vision, Kahane and Taubes liked to pose “uncomfortable questions for comfortable Jews,” as Samuel Goldman reminds us in his feature essay this month. To more deeply understand these two fascinating and controversial figures, and how their ideas and legacies affect American Jews today, we’re bringing Goldman together in conversation with the Harvard scholar J.J. Kimche and the Jewish studies professor Sara Yael Hirschhorn, each of whom wrote reviews of a recent biography of Kahane.
The Apocalyptic Visions of Jacob Taubes and Meir Kahane By SAMUEL GOLDMAN, MOSAIC 5.7.22
As 1970s America unraveled, both radicals posed “uncomfortable questions for comfortable Jews.” What did they ask, and are conditions ripe for similar figures to emerge?
Liberals tend to assume that the course of human events follows a trajectory of incremental progress. Human character and institutions are imperfect, but over time they get better, as experience shows us our flaws. The process allows us to judge our predecessors reliably even as we recognize that we ourselves shall be judged—and found wanting. The arc of history is long, as Barack Obama famously paraphrased Martin Luther King, who was himself adapting a remark by the 19th-century abolitionist Theodore Parker. But it bends ultimately toward justice.
Jews should know better. Rather than consistent improvement, however halting, the Jewish experience is laden with reversal and catastrophe, with long periods of apparent stability disrupted by unforeseen threats—which are in turn sometimes redeemed by unanticipated benefits. The liberal conception of history allows for the consistent but impersonal guidance of general providence. The Jewish conception of history seems to reflect the presence of a transcendent yet unpredictable God—a God who can disrupt, meting out havoc and blessings alike.
Meir Kahane and Jacob Taubes were theorists, and, in a sense, prophets of that latter, unsettling vision. Cast by fate into a placid midcentury America, each tried to recapture what he regarded as the fundamental tension between biblical religion and the moral presuppositions of liberalism. As that order threatened to unravel in the late 1960s and 1970s, Kahane and Taubes demanded confrontation with a radical alternative: the disruptive God of the Hebrew Bible. In doing so, they revealed permanent tensions in liberalism—and also dangers lurking in its modern alternatives.
De-Dollarization Worldwide, Bank Collapses, CBDCs, Crypto Takedown, & more w/ Andy Schectman [1:12:27] SARAH WESTALL
APR 11, 2023 – This is my latest discussion with my friend Andy Schectman. I have come to believe over the years that Andy is truly one of the greatest minds out there analyzing the global economic/geopolitical situation real time. You normal cannot find this type of analysis in the media, for certain in the mass media, but also in the independent media.
I have worked over the years to cultivate and to find the best people I can possibly find to have deeper conversations on relevant topics. I believe this one hits the mark.
Andy and I have had some really great conversations over the years and I truly believe this one is one of the best. He gave the best reasoning I have heard to date as to what the motivation could be behind the irrational behaviors that we are seeing. I have long been perplexed with the “burn it all down” actions seem to make little sense.
Andy gives a compelling argument as to why the “mass burn” of the West/United States coupled with the finger pointing towards Russia and China (as if its all their fault) makes sense. If the ship is going down anyways, do a controlled mass burn, prosper on the demise, and then point fingers at others so you don’t take the blame. This is what we discuss in detail and how it is happening (along with many other things). I hope you get as much out of this as I did.
CLEARLY, THE US IS THE AGGRESSOR IN THE UKRAINE WAR by Ted Belman
April 4, 2023 2303 – On Dec 21, 2021, I co-authored with Alexander Markovsky, a friend of mine, Ukraine, NATO, and the Most Fateful Error of American Policy, though Markovsky dominated the input.
“After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact, NATO, in a violation of the verbal agreement between Secretary of State James Baker and Russian Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, launched a massive expansion to the east.
“This expansion can be seen from Moscow only as a strategy to encircle Russia and turn its neighbors into hostile countries. As long as Russia was economically and military weak, the process proceeded unabated. NATO has grown from 16 countries before the reunification of Germany, to 28 today.”
Our next article was on January 14, 2022, If USA and Russia are Implacable Foes, all Lines of Inquiry Lead to NATO.
Jews and Land of Israel: Part V: The Meaning of a Jewish State By Alex Grobman PhD.
20 Nisan 5783 – April 11, 2023
*Editor’s Note: This is the fifth installment in the most recent series of articles from Jewish Press Online contributor, Alex Grobman, PhD
Failure to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine would have deprived the Jewish people a share in the division of the Ottoman Empire, where they had lived for centuries. Failure would also have enabled the Arab people to acquire nearly all of the Ottoman inheritance, which would have been clearly unacceptable to British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, President Woodrow Wilson and their colleagues. They recognized that the Jewish people’s right to self-determination was no less justified than that of the Arab people, who comprise Christians, Muslims, and Druze. [1]
Israel’s and the US’ war on terrorism: offense or defense? Yoram Ettinger
April 11th, 2023 – Israel’s and the US’ counter-terrorism
*Islamic and Palestinian terrorism consider Israel as a critical beachhead – and a proxy – of the US in the Middle East and a significant collaborator with the pro-US Arab regimes. They perceive the war on “the infidel Jewish State” as a preview of their more significant war on “the infidel West” and their attempts to topple all pro-US Sunni Arab regimes. Therefore, Islamic and Palestinian terrorism has been engaged in intra-Arab subversion, while systematically collaborating with enemies and rivals of the US and the West (e.g., Nazi Germany, the Soviet Bloc, Ayatollah Khomeini, Latin American, European, African and Asian terror organizations, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba). The more robust is Israel’s war on terrorism, the more deterred are the terrorists in their attempts to bring the “infidel” West to submission.
*Islamic and Palestinian terrorism has terrorized Jewish communities in the Land of Israel since the late 19th century, adhering to an annihilationist vision as detailed by the Fatah and PLO charters of 1959 and 1964 (eight and three years before 1967), as well as by the hate-education system, which was installed by Mahmoud Abbas in 1993 following the signing of the Oslo Accord.
*Israel battles Palestinian terrorism (Hamas and the Palestinian Authority) and Islamic terrorism (Iran and Hezbollah), which are not preoccupied with the size – but with the eradication – of the “infidel” Jewish State from “the abode of Islam.”
*Israel and the West fight against deeply-rooted and institutional Islamic and Palestinian terrorism, that is inspired by 1,400-year-old rogue values, which are perpetrated by K-12 hate-education, mosque incitement and official and public idolization of terrorists.
9/11 and the Covid-19 Hoax in the Transition to Governance by “Emergency Measures” [1:00:00] By Prof. Anthony J. Hall
April 11, 2023 – In the US Congress Senator Rand Paul proposed an amendment to drop the Emergency Measures provision that became law a week after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. 86 of the 100 Senators in the US Congress voted down Paul’s initiative to discontinue Public Law 107-40 22 years after it was invoked. The post-9/11 law “authorized the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.”
The blank check given by Congress in 2001 to the US Armed Forces and its Commander-In-Chief helped push along the agenda that put in 2019 the Department of Defence in charge of a biowar against humanity that is still underway.
The main weapon so far in this war is a military device still speciously presented to the public as pharmaceutical vaccines promoted as remedies for COVID-19.
The bizarre transition in the West By Howard Rotberg
Over the last twenty years in four books and dozens of essays, I have sought to understand the bizarre transition in the West from supporting the goodness of liberty, non-violence, justice and other Judeo-Christian values to what I now realize is an almost complete submission to evil values and ideologies, including those of the so-called Palestinians.
I have looked at the problem in a variety of ways. First, we have adopted an ideology of Tolerism (see my book, Tolerism: The Ideology Revealed and its sequel, The Ideological Path to Submission… and what we can do about it.) wherein I discuss how the adoption of various ideological perversions have caused us to submit to the Palestinians and other Islamists. I concluded that in a world where the media and the university have adopted ideologies based on excessive tolerance, inappropriate respect, compassion, postmodernism, moral equivalency, inclusive diversity, empathy, denialism, masochism, and Islamophilia, our fate is submission.
America is casting off its historical morality to embrace transgenderism, critical race theory and other ideologies which should be considered as evil. I argue that the embrace of evil shown in empathy for the so-called Palestinians is what has paved the way for the current immoralities.
I wrote that
“Tolerism is an excessive tolerance, in fact a leniency, for the intolerant and unsupportable views that threaten our very freedoms. It has become an ideology for those who hold tolerance to be a higher virtue than Justice and Human Rights. Tolerism is the skill in consuming massive quantities of political correctness, and moral and cultural relativism, without displaying the obvious signs of the drunken leniency toward, and even taking pleasure in, the slow ascendancy of Islamist values of terrorism, breach of human rights, and attempted reversals of the wonderful liberties and advances made in western societies, where church and state have been successfully separated, and an enormous degree of freedom reigns.”
Why should we reward the murder of civilians and the unwillingness to have the Jews in any part of the Middle East with support based on respect and empathy?
