Traceability

information. In today’s world of technology that access can be accomplished with a few clicks on a computer.

There was a difference of opinion on whether the border needs to be addressed before traceability can be tackled. In the end, the two are tied and neither can be ignored.

It might be surprising to know the number of operations who are already using electronic identification for their own management purposes.

“Regularizing” illegal immigrants

With the demise of Title 42 on the border by mid-May, the Biden Administration is trying to ward off fallout. One thing that stands out is the constant reframing of the situation and the language used to describe it. This morning the new word was “regularizing”.

While tens of thousands of immigrants are lining up at the border to cross on as soon as Title 42 ends, open border groups are claiming federal immigration agencies are ramping up severe immigration policies ahead of the policy ending on May 11.

They say that as Title 42 ends, Title 8 will kick in. Title 8 says that if asylum officers determine that migrants don’t have a credible fear back in their home country or migrants don’t ask for asylum, the federal government can remove them from the country. Only time will tell.

Speaker McCarthy get the move on!

Although the 2023 House of Representatives pledged to tackle the border crisis, little substantive action has been taken. Yes there have been some hearings and congressional visits to the border in Texas and Arizona, but those don’t fix the problem.

Understandably there are a few things that might take president, like the debt ceiling, but the border must be addressed immediately.

Give me some beer drinkin’ music…

Anheuser-Busch (AB) continues to face fallout from its ill-advised change in advertising for Bud Light. The uproar started with country music singers and then others who banned Bud Light from their concerts and their bars. Many have joined in.

Sales of Bud Light fell 17 percent in the week ended April 15 compared to the same week in 2022, according to an analysis of NIQ data compiled by Bump Williams Consulting provided to the Wall Street Journal. That same week, sales of rival beers Coors Light and Miller Lite each grew nearly 18 percent compared to the same week a year earlier.

Despite the backlash AH continues to say they must reach out to a younger audience that is turning to canned cocktails.

Jack Daniels is in the same pickle.

Maybe people should stay in their own lane. Sell your product and leave the social issues alone.

Seriously?

I am probably going to make everyone mad, but it is time we take control of our government. We live in the greatest country in the world, and most of us want to keep it that way. It will take every man, woman and voting age child to fix this mess.

Yet with a presidential election in 18 months, the polls, whoever they are, predict that we will have a do-over of the last presidential election. Is that the best our country can do?

I will continue to harp on this for the next 18 months. Each of us, individually, must take responsibility for making the change.
