I know she’s beefing with Erica Kirk so I am taking it with a grain of salt but oh my god this would be so funny if it’s true because they legit didn’t give a shit
Candace Owens spills the beans on the Turning Point USA halftime show - it was filmed 2 weeks before the Super Bowl in Georgia with a paid audience ($250 each) of 180 people, 3-5 takes each per song. They were also told it was going to be someone bigger than Kid Rock performing.

The amount of videos I see of Gen Z and Millennials buying a rotisserie chicken because they’re cheap and make cooking food a little bit more expedient tells me that the Wall Street Journal is full of shit
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

Wondering where all of the people who claim Irish heritage on St. Patrick’s Day and Irish festivals or who claim it to downplay the suffering of people of color are now that an actual Irish person is confirming that yes, the detention centers really are as bad as people say
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

this video is a great primer to explaining how and why the Soviet economy developed the way it did and how some priorities changed and shifted over time while others did not.
The Soviet economy had flaws but was not broken through this period, despite what many people assume.

I’ve come to the conclusion at this point that the exaggerated numbers these weirdos make up aren’t just for the people— they’re for Trump. They’re for the guy whose only frame of reference is watching the television for his information and they keep telling him lies and kissing his ass

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Remember not even a week ago we found out that even though Liam and his dad were sent home, DHS is ramping up efforts to deport the whole family.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

That’s my theory about why they chose Kid Rock and not… you know… any other Country or MAGA aligned artist if providing a fun alternative was the goal. It wasn’t. Their whole goal was to have a show to “own the libs” and further instill a sense of grievance.
Also reinforce “We Are Charlie Kirk”

Pretending you enjoy Kid Rock to “own the libs” is diabolical actually, that’s got to be the clearest sign I have ever seen that it is a cult. Please free yourself.
