I’m not even a man and I’m celebrating the return of these kinds of ads! The pendulum went way too far in the other direction. I grew up in the era of supermodels and it’s kind of refreshing to go back to having sexy attractive spokeswomen (and men) instead of trying to be “inclusive” and using slobs and freaks.
I love fashion, so I peruse a lot of online fashion retailers. Most models have been black for a long time. Seriously, this is all so ridiculous. The girl has light brown hair, and they are making her into a 'master race' type blond. Beauty comes in all different shades of color, white included.
Love you RL! A traditional woman! Whoop Whoop! I'm going to coin a new acronym, ATWW - A Traditional Wonderful Woman - as the complete and beautiful polar opposite to the supremely despicable AWFLs.
Accomplished: Sweeny is a lot more than a simple supermodel. She is an accomplished actress and even a producer already at age 27. She is attractive and makes for a really good rep for the jeans company whose stock soared from the 'controversy' that the insane people fabricated. Personally though, I find her biggest accomplishments were the restoration of a 1969 Ford Bronco, a 1965 Ford Mustang, and the design of a custom 2024 Ford Mustang. Look for Ford commercials to become sexy soon!
I didn’t know enough about her to realize all that she’s done but I say, even better! Beautiful AND accomplished is something we all should be able to admire!
I had just seen her movie "Anyone but you" on Netflix and barely knew who she was, but my husband and I thought that movie was hilarious because she's a very good comedic actress, sort of like Goldie Hawn was.
Humanity is drawn to beauty. Always has been, always will be. If you are a believer, you believe it’s because God is beauty itself and so all beauty points to Him. Hence why we are drawn to it…
I don’t really wear jeans anymore as I don’t find them comfortable so I usually wear dresses, skirts, or (thicker material) leggings style pants that are curve hugging and move with my body. Jeans usually feel uncomfortable around the waist because of my more hourglass proportions. I like the look though and wish they’d feel more comfortable. Maybe I should try AE jeans lol 😆
I can still wear the clothes I had in college (still got a few) and chest press 75 pound dumbbells, which I most definitely could not do in college 50 years ago. I'm not foolish enough to say age hasn't caught up to me in so many ways, but age has a lot to do with how you think about yourself and treat your body.
Some of us lost our lifelong skinny because of high stress(mine was a traumatic job) which caused horrible hormonal fluctuations and weight gain. Be glad you were able to retain it so easily, but it’s not always sloth that brings it on. I was rail thin until my mid-thirties.
I’m probably more active than you, eat incredibly healthfully and a decade later have finally got my hormones equalized and am losing the extra weight thanks to a naturopath. You could easily have gone down this path so be grateful for what you have and careful how you assume. I agree there are those who create it, but sometimes it’s out of our control. Our food system being the biggest culprit.
Lol. I had a young TSA agent ask me to take my thin zipper less hoodie off. I pulled out the neckband and looked in. Looked back at him and gave him a firm NO. Boy, did he turn red. 🤣🤣🤣
If you really want to feel old, go to the grocery store and look at a tabloid. Who are these people? I don't know them. Until a few years ago, I thought "Channing Tatum" was a woman. I still couldn't point him out in a lineup.
My daughter liked him, and I would always screw with her by calling him Tatum Channing. I'm the same way. Couldn't identify a Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or any of them songs if my life depended on it. Only Katy Perry song I could recognize is " I kissed a girl and I liked it," but only because I was watching a New Years Eve countdown and she sang it live. Had no clue who she was.
I confess, I NEVER heard of this woman before this ad controversy. But when I viewed this commercial I was transported back to my youth. She is gorgeous, and definitely looks great in those jeans. Kudos to American Eagle. They have forced the issue into the public realm. No sympathy for the AWFL's.
At the ball game yesterday, couldn’t help seeing the women outfitting themselves for viewing. It seems natural the world over for women especially to do that. Then we have these “crusaders” trying to nullify activity that’s been going on since humans existed. And trying to link it to racism, or sexism, or any other “ism” is ridiculous.
Thank you for reminding me of my Birds triumph - these days, I've traded in my Redbird hats for brown paper bags with eye cutouts, like the New Orlean's Aint's used to do... lol
There has been a single Budweiser sitting my my frig for over two years now that none of the boys will drink when they come to Grama's house. This explains it.
And Dunkin Donuts! LOL Who would have guessed that DD would pile on the cultural bonfire?!
And I love their coffee. Time to go out and get some coffee and DD donuts! (Just one cuz those donuts really are not healthy. Now if they start cooking their donuts in tallow instead of industrial seed oils, I'd buy two.)
I've lately been wondering if McD will begin to do that--their fried stuff sure lacks flavor. Bet they'd see sales rocket if they went animal. Also bet they've already worked out the figures are are going to release this for ? Labor Day?
When I first started college in 1967, I used to get a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries for lunch many days when I was at school. 19 cents each, as I recall. And those fries were sooooo good as they were fried in beef tallow then.
It’s a refresher drink! And it’s also a fantastic ad! We now have eye candy back for both men and women to enjoy! It’s a fantastic day! Celebrating beauty!
Same. I stopped going to Target after their stupid pro trans children’s clothing line and haven’t missed it. I’ve gone there maybe twice in the past few years (for something I couldn’t find elsewhere or would had to go far out of my way for). I used to go maybe twice a month.
If AB had any balls, they would hire Barry "normie" as marketing director, in recognition of his brilliance. Both he and Sydney would be on a private jet hurtling toward a plush red carpet in St. Louis.
Gracias. My Marketing 101 never went away. All good, but can we add another trip after St. Louis, maybe St. Lucia? BTW, I love the location of the ballpark in St. Louis.,,
Sales of Sydney ad Bud Light would be a flop (right now). AB would be seen as a manipulator. And anyone rushing to buy Bud Light, a sheeple. Bud Light put an actual man with lipstick on their can. They went full retard. And as the wise Kirk Lazarus told us, you never go full retard.
Nope. They picked an ugly tranny to represent their brand, then doubled down when their customers complained, and doubled down again by sponsoring tranny events and propaganda.
Dumping Mulvaney for an actual female isn't going to unhappen their insults and make things all better.
I grew up on beer and the St Louis Cardinals. I gave up beer about ten years ago, and gave up the Cardinals and ALL of baseball in 2020 when they bowed down and worshipped a criminal and a terrorist org., BLM. I'm better off for both decisions.
I'm still a Redbirds fan Dave but just barely... now-a-days I wear a paper bag with eye cutouts because they are so bad. My dad was from St Louis and so I grew up a 'Birds fan and can't quite get them out of my system, even though they really suck.
I did totally cold turkey the NFL in 2017, will never go back - they couldn't pay me to go back. The only pro team I watch is the Cardinal baseball team and that is just because of great memories of Musial, The Wizard of Oz, Jim Edmonds, Wainwright, Gibby, Brock, McCarver, Pujols, Molina and so many more through the years. Any more liberal bullshit from them and that will be it.
"The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery."
I saw Mullins several times at financial and private group gatherings. I talked with him on the phone several times and he told me how organizations like the SPLC were out to get him and how his father was attacked by goons on that Blue Ridge highway. Mullins, and as is little known, wrote the best biography on Ezra Pound ever, That Difficult Individual. And it was Pound who suggested the Federal Reserve topic which led to publication of Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Mullins lived and grew up in Staunton, Virginia ... my wife's hometown.
Mullins is one of my few true heroes and I am delighted to see this quotation. And definitely it brightens my day!
This year I have read all of Mullins with particularly his take on the Civil War. Pound was a mentor to Mullins, as to Hemingway and Yeats, a real truth teller and thrown in prison for his works as a patient. You have a great story. Thank you.
Pound is, in my stupid little world, the greatest impresario of the twentieth century, and persecuted for telling the truth. After the war they really wanted to try and convict Pound, excepting they the Washington crowd could not withstand discovery. Pound would have exposed them all for the porto-Globalist that they were. So they deemed him insane and shipped him off to St. Elizabeth's hospital either in Washington, D.C. or on the outskirts ... and locked him up but good. And that's were Mullin met pound. (The United States was still better back them and people could visit Pound.
Pound edited Elliot's The Wasteland ... and his suggestions probably put The Wasteland over the top. I remember Elliot made some comments in that direction.
Pound and Mullins, both great men. Both saw the wickedness of the United States growing before most of us.
I think it was in “The Movable Feast” that Hemingway mentioned Pound was a very congenial person, even to Hemingway, who was young and not famous yet in Paris at the time.
Or they rely on human nature to do some of the heavy lifting.
I think physical laws have analogs in human nature so if you set up groups that are authoritarian with certain ideas, organically, there will be opposition to those ideas. And then of course, the same group that initiated this wants to "game" the system by employing controlled opposition to splinter and divide the resistance. The ultimate response then is to be inclusive rather than exclusive.
Well, that would be counter to the objectives of the resistance. BLM, first of all, is a misattribution. It's like Biden arguing that the restrictions and mandates during Covid were to protect democracy. You can't protect something by undermining it.
The genius of Black Lives Matter is the whole group name is based on a straw man argument.
There are a few people out there that believe people who are not their color do not matter, but it's not something that most people argue about.
I got into a long prolonged argument with a science fiction author I admired about this very issue, and they could never see past it. I condemned the marketing scheme from the beginning, even as I admire its genius. It put a pre-bunk in their naming.
Any argument against BLM was met with "so you don't think black lives matter?"
My contention was we should have also created related groups around BLM like "Water is Wet" and "The Sky is Blue." And make those a rallying cry.
The brand should go extinct as a lesson that the trans mental illness is not funny, and that promoting it in any way is a crime against children, many of whom have now been sexually mutilated and sterilized merely for the virtue-signaling points of AWFLs.
Anheuser-Busch should never recover. If they'd been more immediately decisive in addressing the Mulvaney ad, I'd cut them slack. They weren't. I wanted a draft beer yesterday, and had 4 choices - Bud Light, Mick Light, Amberbock (also AB affiliated) and an IPA I don't like much. I had to order the IPA. Real consequences are what work.
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20
I’ve only seen clips in a couple pictures of this ad, but I just realized she may not have any tattoos? I’m not totally against tattoos. I just think that the culture of people being covered with them all over every media source is 🙄
I hope the trend is ending. I don't mind small discrete tattoos, but large ones may look cool in your 20's, but not so much when aged on crepey, saggy skin. I can't help but wonder if the "sleeves" and other tattoos covering lots of skin hampers vitamin D absorption from the sun.
I also wonder about having those dyes in your skin for so long. Especially when there are large areas covered. I don’t think we have a good sense of what effects there might be long term because tattoos used to be limited to somewhat marginalized populations up until quite recently.
But He didn't mean we can't tattoo Bible vs, crosses, or Jesus pictures. Those things help us remember that we COULD read the Bible and that Jesus will recognize us by the cross we wear and of course as conversation starters, that unburdens us from actually carrying a Bible for someone to notice...I know, I have one on my phone too.
Please don't mention the amout of money to get one, that $$$ was given to a sinner who now has that vs memorized and is trying to support their family and too many young Christians today don't have one so....
It seems to me that everyone I know has at least one tattoo. I’m not so surprised by the men, as I am by the women. However, I did make the observation when I was at a waterpark this summer that there seemed to be fewer people with tattoos. I was pleasantly surprised.
I’m Gen X and most (not all) of my fellow generation are tattoo free. My daughter is Generation Z and I’m not yet seeing any ink on her friends. The zeitgeist always changes, and wouldn’t mind less trashy skin art.
Agree, I don't find them attractive especially in the volume that some seem to get, like the 'sleeves'. Glad my 30 & 32 YO kids didn't go nuts over that. Son and bunch of his friends who were on staff at a Boy Scout camp in HS all went out after they turned 18 and got matching tattoos with a logo one of them had designed to commemorate their experience. But it was small and back shoulder blade so nothing outrageous. But he didn't tell me about it until after he got it done, lol.
I remind my grandchildren that age and tattoo's do not go well together. Someday they may hear my wisdom ringing in their ears on day. I have one flower that is pretty ugly 50 years later.
I knew someone who at 18 got a huge parrot on her thigh and she was very proud to show it off and my friend and I when we left we said well that is not going to age well! 🤣
And sexually alluring by looking sexually abused is in. I miss the days of at least looking innocent. Yes the catalogs and sewing pattern depictions, Holly Hobbies, and porn was despised and hidden.
How nice that this old jean maker gives philanthropically, not for the tax credit, to victims of sex abuse while encouraging it... Like cigarette companies helping ppl break the habit.
I find the ad offensive because they make Sydney look like a teenager and have her performing soft porn. Why not have her standing, fully zipped already around horses 🐎 or hiking somewhere beautiful? 🥾
Let love be without hypocrisy—by abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good, being devoted to one another in brotherly love, giving preference to one another in honor, not lagging behind in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, persevering in affliction, being devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
They should have "self deported" while they had the chance.... if Joe invited them while in office, they've overstayed their welcome...
Bard, how many of them would you like living in your neighborhood??? How many of them did you personally invite to come invade our country??? If they're being detained in any jail, it must be bc they were found praying and doing good works? Don' think so! but...I could be wrong....nah...
I don't know if anyone has said the quiet part out loud but I have ugly people fatigue. I am sick of being told to celebrate the ugly people as if they are 10's. They aren't and never will be. I'm sick of seeing them in advertising. I'm sick of them tut tutting on social media the way they are against Sidney Sweeney. Men aren't women, healthy at any size is a lie and ugly people aren't 10's.
Amen to that!! It's a clear sign of their mental and emotional instability that these unattractive furious women actually film themselves having their meltdowns and then post them on social media. Like the rest of the world should actually care! We live in bizarre times.
I’m a child of the 80s, we had supermodels like Cindy Crawford in ads. The AE ad reminds me of traditional advertising using very attractive women and highlighting their assets, and like it or not… sex appeal sells. I also like that this ad appeals to red blooded heterosexual men.
I recently saw on TV an ad for a razor to shave your “intimate parts”… it featured an unattractive woman with hair sticking out of her underwear… 🤢. That Calvin Klein ad reminds me of that.
This all made me think of the 1980s Calvin Kline ad with 15 year old Brook Shields - “you know what comes between me and my Calvin Kline’s - nothing!” There was tons of criticism about too provocative - I think both the Brook Shields and the current adds are very well done, especially compared to what we have been shown and expected to get on that bandwagon for the last several years!!!
What, Cecil? You don't find the fat ladies in adult diaper tv commercials attractive? How about the tv commercials of fat ladies spraying body deodorant down their pants? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised that there isn't more uproar showing "robust" women spraying chemicals over what is already a toxic environmental catastrophe. You already need a hazmat suit to enter that space...
Jimmy, this comment (and the other one about comfortable clothes) say something to me. People are ugly on purpose. Even the most "aesthetically challenged" person can look like someone with self-respect. I went and found an image consultant 15 years ago--changed me not only outwardly, but internally, regarding how I view myself. I've recommended image consultants to many female and male friends. Results: NIGHT and DAY! I am sad that I see so many people--SO. MANY. PEOPLE.--who purposely and purposefully present themselves ugly. It's a culture of self-loathing.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that people like to look at attractive, healthy people. Men in particular like to look at beautiful women (doh!)
Just finished the 2nd prequel to the Yellowstone series (1883 and 1923). Clearly Taylor Sheridan knows the importance of casting extremely attractive, healthy people in leading roles. Too bad he has to pander to the kinky sex and virulent Catholic hatred … guess it’s a requirement to get your project funded by Hollywood (or maybe he really thinks this adds to the story lines…)
Good point because I’d never heard of Sweeney and hadn’t seen the ad until social media blew up about it and now I kinda want to take my teenager and all her friends to AE to buy something
Concerning Russiagate, they are saying people can't be prosecuted because the statute of limitations has expired. My theory is IF the evidence was hidden via being classified, the statute of limitations clock should not have been ticking. Only after being declassified should said clock be ticking 🔔🕐!
It's illegal to classify something to conceal the commission of a crime.
If I were in charge, I would strongly consider whether such classification activity is a part of the original crime, thus extending the date of commission of said crime for the duration of the classification.
Given that the information was found in a SCIF, I would guess that would tack on at least 25 years.
It seems DoJ might try to use SoL as a reason to not prosecute. If the evidence was labeled classified, it couldn't be presented in court. Now that it has been declassified it can be used in court, so now SoL clock/calendar should start, upon date of declassification.
Of course they are. Just another indication of how guilty they are. If they weren’t, they’d be saying “bring it.” I guarantee Trump would say that because he isn’t guilty.
Sydney Sweeney jeans SOLD OUT yesterday and American Eagle stock went up 18%. What a fantastic ad! Heard from the lady who has done more jeans ads than ANYONE else, EVER. (Used to work for Levi's for 31 years). She was on Newsmax last night. Her take? BRILLIANT! Keep it going! Oh, and by the way, those questioning the ad... Beyonce was in a Levi's ad wearing full denim and showing off her fake blonde locks not so very long ago... and, it was apparently ok.
Yes. She has culturally appropriated white women's hair. She has also bleached her skin in another act of self-loathing. There are a bunch of videos on Youtube showing her descent into paleness.
In more ways than one .... becoming white, in skin coloring and face features, styling himself as a female, specifically in the likeness of Liz Taylor, fathering children from white females only, etc.....and these are only some of what is publicly known
That’s Jennifer Sey. She’s written at least 3 articles related to jeans marketing and the Sweeney controversy, one of which has clips from a bunch of ads she did in the 20+ years she worked for Levi’s.
Well...I took the cheese, Counselor. I got 15 seconds into the video and proceeded to wretch in such a horrid manner that my dog was throwing me looks of serious concern. I've had my fill of these flippin self-righteous, slobbering, brain damaged turd buckets. I'm not wasting anymore time on these tards. American Eagle...the very name reeks of whiteness and American exceptionalism. Oh, the very nerve. Yankees to the right!..Doodles to the left!...Chitlins forever, y'all!
I was wondering regarding this story… what if AE had cast Beyoncé in that ad (she’s in a Levi’s ad, so she would probably not be allowed) with the same script, these buffoonish AWFLs would have said nothing. I think the AWFLs are racist nitwits.
She was the definition of an AWFL! Mental illness and TDS on full display. Also, don't forget she's extremely jealous of Sydney Sweeney. These leftist chicks are jealous. Sad way to live life.
You don't tell a child to not stick its fingers in the light socket and expect a good outcome. Pain and suffering. My therapist thinks I have a strong case. See you in court!
So "flirting with eugenics" is bad, so say the folks who champion and enthusiastically kill unborn babies right up until birth.
I'm far from alone in this, but I've been saying for years now that Liberalism/Leftism is a mental disorder. In fact, though, it's a mental illness. Leftism is a mental illness. Leftists are batsht crazy.
Most "normal" people understand it is a mental and a spiritual disorder. We are instructed to pray for them and to love one another. We are also told not to be yoked with those who could lead us into temptation.
I’m wondering, Debra, if Jesus ever prayed for or loved the leaders of Israel that he said were doing the works of their father, the devil. I will admit to his attempts to get them to think about, and change, their wrong doctrines and actions,
…but, there are places in the book where God said don’t pray for them because he’s not gonna listen
You are right. We are also told not to cast our pearls before swine and sometimes we are to brush the dust from our feet and move along. I think we can try once when we are felt to try with others but if there is no sign of remorse or repentance then we move along. There are also those who have been blind like Pharoah who would not change his mind no matter what. Jesus tried reason many times with the Jewish leaders but they were set in their own agenda of greed and power.
Liberals/ leftist and many who claim to be Libertarian too. How can a person be a libertarian and sanction the killing of a human? The ultimate oxymoron!
I think in reality, as with liberals/leftist, they are only concerned about what affects them on a personal level. Very sanctimonious!
Try bring a parent of a severely autistic child! I’m certain it ain’t an easy life! I was told my child had ADHD, (never diagnosed, as he didn’t fit the criteria). Was told by educators he wasn’t as smart as we thought he was, was going to end up in the trades, (half my family members are tradesmen). He now has a Masters in Engineering. Choke on that, educators!
My Son is not severely autistic. He has Aspergers. I caught very early on since I was involved with raising babies at an early age (Sibs).
I spent hours every week at OT, PT, music classes, gymnastics, then T ball, social skills classes, workshops. You get the picture. I was lucky, I could devote my time to his future because my former spouse had a good job.
I am sorry for anyone who doesn’t have the time or resources to be able to do this.
I am not sure why I am blurting this out. I thank God for the ability and resources to help him.
Yep - my son’s first grade teacher (before advent of ADHD and Autism) told us that he was dyslexic (the ADHD of his time). When we asked how she knew she said “I’m a teacher and trained to know these things.” After testing, at our insistence, turned out not dyslexic but bored and likely smarter than the teacher!!!
My brother has undiagnosed Aspergers which is part of the autism spectrum. He was a D student in high school. After a stint in the Army he got degree in Electrical Engineering and passed his Professional Engineering exam. He can fix just about anything. He's also smart enough to be conservative.
If you believe that white Christian men of normal IQ are the greatest threat to "globalism," you might think that "globalists" would want a white Christian society filled with mentally ill young people, chronically sick young people and young people that are neurodivergent, since all of these groups *might* be easier to manage. Key word being *might*.
In the end, maybe we're all considered cattle, and what really matters is that, as our numbers grow, we become easier to control.
Have to add…if autism was such a good thing why does it cost like 5 million dollars to raise an autistic child. What is the real employment rate among autistic people—I mean really autistic people? Not great. So… where are they going to go. Are they going to end up on the streets or in renovated institutions where they will be drugged. No future scenario looks good or virtuous.
There are examples of autistic people that were brilliant in one pursuit or another, and their quirks are seen as a trade off to their brilliance. Most of the time though, it’s a major hindrance and a problem.
Hollywood does these people no favors by portraying all autistic people as misunderstood savants.
It is all part of the weakening and stupiding down of our country, sponsored by, to name one, Bill Gates, along with the failing schools. This is all necessary for the populace to be beaten down so we will obey orders from the Overlords.
As much as I dislike Gates and his ilk I place a lot of blame on local churches. We have accepted the mindset that it's government's job to take care of other people & their issues. Most churches are cocooned.
Imagine how God would/could be glorified if the many idle churches stepped up and assisted the few churches who are active. That's what this country needs, not the biggest greatest ever whatevers!
I worked with a man who has Aspergers. He struggled to learn, and to do his job without making mistakes. The higher-ups didn't take his learning disability into consideration. It's very difficult for people with this condition.
I agree, that is a legitimate concern 😕 If it’s caused by something man made like vaccines and we can do something to change that, of course we should!
While I personally don't really give an eff about the woke BS and wish there was much less focus on it, Jeff hit the nail on the head here:
We’re now living in an upside-down world where saying you’re fit, attractive, and happy is “eugenic imagery,” but chemically sterilizing kids is “healthcare.”
A part of me thinks that the over-the-top reaction of the left on stuff like this is actually beneficial. At some point, they have to run out of words to describe their indescribably outrage? When everything is eugenics, violence, nazism, and the worst thing ever, then their outrage ceases to have meaning, no?
When the angry cat lady next door screams at you for long enough, don't people start to laugh at her eventually?
I’d call it neuro-linguistic programming-normalizing eugenics. After all, we see how government agencies are expending vast amounts of money in biotechnology, let alone private eugenic “philanthropists” who have invested in this merging of human and machine. But for what purpose? Control and surveillance or the more altruistic side of helping a person move a paralyzed limb? Remember when euthanasia was only for the terminally ill?
It has to be presented with a shiny object so the useless eaters will scarf it up.
But Brazil isn't the only one. The UK to whom we owe much of the framework for our speech is cracking down. But we don't owe to the gov't but to the individuals willing to have their ears nailed to scaffolding for articulating their words aloud. The gov't is up to its tricks again, but in a different way. Here is something from Pirate Wires Daily Three Takes. Elon isn't the only billionaire concerned about free speech.
"The UK’s “Online Safety Act” is live, not only requiring age verification for British citizens on American social media platforms, messaging apps, search engines, and user-generated platforms like YouTube and Twitch, but also levying massive fines on companies that fail to censor “harmful” material, which the British government publicly defines as sex stuff, and legally defines as political content the British government doesn’t like (good luck criticizing imported Pakistani rape gangs, for example). Sadly, despite Paul Graham’s incredible recent suggestion that his beloved Britain might become a “hub for intellectual refugees” fleeing Trump, this is the most draconian piece of anti-speech legislation we’ve seen in any of our lives, and our problem is broader than the UK’s decline. Europe’s attempting to leverage its market power to force similar censorship at home. Our companies have defended against such authoritarianism for years, but they’re losing ground, and there’s only one play left. Mr. Trump, a little help?"
I tell a friend the only savior is the one in your faith. Even the best intentioned actions can unleash poison and the selfish ones can be beneficial. So lots of wisdom in 'Stay Frosty'
Credit for this idea is not mine, but if Anheuser-Busch had the courage to hire Sydney to promote Bud-Light, the brand would not only recover, but would likely double sales in short order.
I don't know about you but I love Sydney's gene....er... I mean jeans. And I especially love that it absolutely triggers the AWFLs!
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm going to go buy a pair of American Eagle jeans as a kind of C&C doubler!! https://www.ae.com/us/en
I’m not even a man and I’m celebrating the return of these kinds of ads! The pendulum went way too far in the other direction. I grew up in the era of supermodels and it’s kind of refreshing to go back to having sexy attractive spokeswomen (and men) instead of trying to be “inclusive” and using slobs and freaks.
Good ads are often aspirational. I personally aspire to having my 30 year old waist back!
hat is totally within your capability.. as lng as YYOU wan to DO IT. And trust me, is not hard, nor is it miserable. It all on you....
(not a slam, but rather an affirmation and encouragement, perhaps a big chunk of personal challenge)
😂
And so say all of us!
I can't unsee that Calvin Klein picture ad!!!
Remember when Marky Mark Wahlberg and Brooke Shields did the CK ads?
Not that I care about who is who.... but now we get hairy obese men in bras?
I guess it could make some people feel better about themselves but it isn't motivating to stay fit and be healthy.
Are tattoos also going out of style? I hope so. Didn’t see a spec of ink on Sydney’s body… but then again … couldn’t see with all them jeans!
My eyes hurt every time I see that ad! But that ad is a perfect composite of what a crazy time we have been living through!!!
.......nor purchase anything from Calvin Klein!
Crazy is as crazy does!
Is that hairy obese one in the bra a man?
Was that really a man?
Hey you don't know, he could be identifying as a woman.
I love fashion, so I peruse a lot of online fashion retailers. Most models have been black for a long time. Seriously, this is all so ridiculous. The girl has light brown hair, and they are making her into a 'master race' type blond. Beauty comes in all different shades of color, white included.
@Angela- and how many blacks dye their hair blonde? J/S
Well said!
Love you RL! A traditional woman! Whoop Whoop! I'm going to coin a new acronym, ATWW - A Traditional Wonderful Woman - as the complete and beautiful polar opposite to the supremely despicable AWFLs.
I am definitely a traditional woman and happy to be! 😊
Really! Why are they always so ugly—in looks and attitude?
Yea!
I certainly do not want to see a fat shlubby guy on a couch as someone selling a Burger King Whopper..if I wanted that, I would look in a mirror.
Oh, now, do be kinder to yourself, Jimmy! We all have figure flaws, one way or the other. I see your stalwart heart, not your waistline! 👑💖👑
BWAHAHAHA!
Accomplished: Sweeny is a lot more than a simple supermodel. She is an accomplished actress and even a producer already at age 27. She is attractive and makes for a really good rep for the jeans company whose stock soared from the 'controversy' that the insane people fabricated. Personally though, I find her biggest accomplishments were the restoration of a 1969 Ford Bronco, a 1965 Ford Mustang, and the design of a custom 2024 Ford Mustang. Look for Ford commercials to become sexy soon!
I didn’t know enough about her to realize all that she’s done but I say, even better! Beautiful AND accomplished is something we all should be able to admire!
I had just seen her movie "Anyone but you" on Netflix and barely knew who she was, but my husband and I thought that movie was hilarious because she's a very good comedic actress, sort of like Goldie Hawn was.
The Calvin Klein ad from 2022 is a big reminder of the awful ads we were forced to look at and then avoid before throwing up. 🤮
The solution for avoiding the ads is to stop watching television. I did that decades ago and I am very glad I did.
It is a pendulum, that self corrects, though this time the swing was too long.
Another brilliant expose to counterbalance the insanity.
Yes! Remember the Guess Jeans ads from the 90’s ? so good - simple & sexy
Simple usually is best!
So well said!
Agreed. I like looking at pretty things ... whatever or whomever they are.
Humanity is drawn to beauty. Always has been, always will be. If you are a believer, you believe it’s because God is beauty itself and so all beauty points to Him. Hence why we are drawn to it…
Yes! Agree! Love it!
Same!
I buy most of my clothes at AE as I am fortunate to have the same figure as I did in high school. Many of us have good jeans, lol!
At age 71 I have finally admitted that round is a shape and trying to look even 50 is not in my genes/jeans. Thank goodness God looks at the heart.
Round is lovely. No need to try to look 50:}
God doesn’t make mistakes!!
I don’t really wear jeans anymore as I don’t find them comfortable so I usually wear dresses, skirts, or (thicker material) leggings style pants that are curve hugging and move with my body. Jeans usually feel uncomfortable around the waist because of my more hourglass proportions. I like the look though and wish they’d feel more comfortable. Maybe I should try AE jeans lol 😆
I wear only comfortable clothes, no one wants to see me in anything showing off my form.
their Kick bootcut pants are great. I have 10 of them in every color and some doubles!
I'm high waisted & have never liked wearing jeans, even when younger. I usually wear a skirt most everywhere
Now I’m beginning to admire you for your body as well as your brains. 😂
Pic!? 😁
🤭😂
I’m jealous! I lost my skinny before Covid😫
I lost my skinny at 15 and puberty. Grandma said it was our German genes. Strong and sturdy. Able to withstand famine.
went to a 50th anniversary party last weekend and the wife was wearing her wedding dress! I've been dieting like crazy since!
I'm liking that!
Hi, how you doin'?
Bam 💥 love it!!
exactly! I have clothes that are 20 years old and still fit perfectly.
I can still wear the clothes I had in college (still got a few) and chest press 75 pound dumbbells, which I most definitely could not do in college 50 years ago. I'm not foolish enough to say age hasn't caught up to me in so many ways, but age has a lot to do with how you think about yourself and treat your body.
Bear your cross graciously, m’lady, and your beauty will show from within as well as without. 😁
Oh, we’re just jealous! 🤣
Some of us lost our lifelong skinny because of high stress(mine was a traumatic job) which caused horrible hormonal fluctuations and weight gain. Be glad you were able to retain it so easily, but it’s not always sloth that brings it on. I was rail thin until my mid-thirties.
I’m probably more active than you, eat incredibly healthfully and a decade later have finally got my hormones equalized and am losing the extra weight thanks to a naturopath. You could easily have gone down this path so be grateful for what you have and careful how you assume. I agree there are those who create it, but sometimes it’s out of our control. Our food system being the biggest culprit.
Is she wearing jeans? Didn't notice. I was busy searching for her nazi insignia hidden in her cleavage. Along with many other proud American males!!
Men are just terrific along with their admiration for women's physiques!
It is genetic Lori! We cannot contain ourselves.
I thank God for creating the beautiful, fit physique of a woman from our rib. I offer another one of my ribs!
Yes now it’s also time to bring back the sexy male hunks in ads! 😋
LOL! For the longest time (in my teens and early 20's) I thought men like me for my mind and quick wit. LOL!
Nice.
The first thing i'm gonna say when I meet that young lady is : "TAKE THOSE JEANS OFF !"
ooops. sorry, I was having a TSA moment there . whew .................
Lol. I had a young TSA agent ask me to take my thin zipper less hoodie off. I pulled out the neckband and looked in. Looked back at him and gave him a firm NO. Boy, did he turn red. 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Way too good! Thanks for the laugh!
Am I the only one here who has never heard of her?
If you really want to feel old, go to the grocery store and look at a tabloid. Who are these people? I don't know them. Until a few years ago, I thought "Channing Tatum" was a woman. I still couldn't point him out in a lineup.
My daughter liked him, and I would always screw with her by calling him Tatum Channing. I'm the same way. Couldn't identify a Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or any of them songs if my life depended on it. Only Katy Perry song I could recognize is " I kissed a girl and I liked it," but only because I was watching a New Years Eve countdown and she sang it live. Had no clue who she was.
I had never heard of her before.
I love you real men, Roland and Dave.
I confess, I NEVER heard of this woman before this ad controversy. But when I viewed this commercial I was transported back to my youth. She is gorgeous, and definitely looks great in those jeans. Kudos to American Eagle. They have forced the issue into the public realm. No sympathy for the AWFL's.
At the ball game yesterday, couldn’t help seeing the women outfitting themselves for viewing. It seems natural the world over for women especially to do that. Then we have these “crusaders” trying to nullify activity that’s been going on since humans existed. And trying to link it to racism, or sexism, or any other “ism” is ridiculous.
I would but I don’t want to be beaten up by being a blue eyed blonde in AE jeans 😅😆😅 Yes I need to move! I’m working on it!
Susan, respectfully requesting a photo of your gen... jeans!
Recommendation: Carry something in your jeans, train, and be prepared to employ it... so that you are never a victim!
And here is a place to start!
https://byrna.com/
Ahh … No 🤣
And I agree but I would be thrown in prison for having one while criminals go free.
I’m buying a bunch of these good jeans. I have 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters!🥳🇺🇸
My SWM off-spring ventured into our local AE store… not a jean to be found. Entire inventory sold out. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I went to AE's website for the very first time in my life because of the backlash to the ad.
The comments section is so entertaining today, I just have to say!! 😂😆
I looked, but saw no overalls. WTH?
I had the same thought myself - Hmmm, I think I need a new pair of jeans.
Yeah me too Dan
My kids back to school shipping is at American Eagle this year
I also! The pair I want is $50! On sale!
I will never drink bud lite. Crappy beer and the company never admitted how screwed up they are. Plenty of other beers to drink.
What do bud light and sex in a canoe have in common?
They’re both f*cking close to water.
I haven't drank a Budweiser since the 1982 World Series. The St. Louis Cardinals beat my Milwaukee Brewers in 7 games.
Thank you for reminding me of my Birds triumph - these days, I've traded in my Redbird hats for brown paper bags with eye cutouts, like the New Orlean's Aint's used to do... lol
Now that is fummy!
There has been a single Budweiser sitting my my frig for over two years now that none of the boys will drink when they come to Grama's house. This explains it.
Tastes like crap.
I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer the legendary "Dragons Milk," bourbon barrel-aged stout, 11% ABV.
I also have had one called Murder of Crows by Skookum Brewery out of Arlington, Washington. It's only 9%
I just ordered some from my local distributor. Thanks for the tip. Try Fremont Brewery Rusty Nail Imperial Stout. 14.7% ABV
My favorite is Dogfish Head 120. Clocks in at 15% ABV.
Will do. Thanks, and you're welcome! 🍺🍺
My husband's favorite beer as well.
Good stuff!!!
New Belgium Tripple
Tales of Gold
yep, Coors Golden for me.
oh, and Guinness!
Coors, Bud, Miller, PBR all colored seltzer.
You don't like 'em, don't drink 'em. But can the tough-guy act...
One suspects that you may well have more fingers than teeth...
Ah PBR.
I'm old enough to remember when Schlitz and Hamms were premium beers.....
Stag! Belleville (IL) champagne 😂
And Dunkin Donuts! LOL Who would have guessed that DD would pile on the cultural bonfire?!
And I love their coffee. Time to go out and get some coffee and DD donuts! (Just one cuz those donuts really are not healthy. Now if they start cooking their donuts in tallow instead of industrial seed oils, I'd buy two.)
I agree, tallow it should be. I just watched the ad and smiling from ear to ear, Hail King of Summer!
Great ad!! He reminds me of one of my grandsons! :)
I have not seen the ad, do you have a link Lori?
Jeff linked it in the post. He is a cutie!
Just look in the area where he talks about Dunkin' donuts:}.
It’s a hot one this year! 🤣
I think that King of Summer guy should marry the Good Jeans gal, have lots of babies, and really pi** off the libs🤣👶🏼👶🏻
He’s already married 😂
😂😂😂
I've lately been wondering if McD will begin to do that--their fried stuff sure lacks flavor. Bet they'd see sales rocket if they went animal. Also bet they've already worked out the figures are are going to release this for ? Labor Day?
A few are starting to use tallow. Outback does I think. I read that might happen at McDs.
And Shake Shack does too🍟
When I first started college in 1967, I used to get a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries for lunch many days when I was at school. 19 cents each, as I recall. And those fries were sooooo good as they were fried in beef tallow then.
Their potatoes are poison anyway
As an older woman, I couldn’t help but smile looking at that fine looking young man 😊 and I’m going to go get one of those golden summer drinks.
And the handsome young man was easy on the eyes and yes! He has great genes! 😉💕
I almost faint from the smell when i walk past their shop .....
Only possibly surpassed by the scent of cinnamon buns.
It’s a refresher drink! And it’s also a fantastic ad! We now have eye candy back for both men and women to enjoy! It’s a fantastic day! Celebrating beauty!
I hope it doesn’t do them any good. Target has changed their tube as well. That hasn’t brought me back.
Same. I stopped going to Target after their stupid pro trans children’s clothing line and haven’t missed it. I’ve gone there maybe twice in the past few years (for something I couldn’t find elsewhere or would had to go far out of my way for). I used to go maybe twice a month.
I won’t go into a Target either. They crossed the line.
Never again even a wooden nickel from me either.
Target: "it's OK to have men in women's bathrooms" and "unisex fitting rooms." No.
Nothing like going to a store, not calling ahead, and finding out what it was you were looking for was not in stock.
Or checking if it is but in between someone buys the item or their stock wasn’t updated appropriately 😕
That really annoys me. Then they blame the website
I ONLY buy if it’s on a family Christmas list.
There are companies and people who do not know or understand the saying, "burning your bridges".
I will never buy anything from Target - they are simply hiding their vicious liberal politics and policies in the pursuit of our dollars.
Thank you. Yesterday:
“The Coup de grâce would be for Bud Light to hire Sydney and put her on the cans. Sales will go through the roof!”
If AB had any balls, they would hire Barry "normie" as marketing director, in recognition of his brilliance. Both he and Sydney would be on a private jet hurtling toward a plush red carpet in St. Louis.
Gracias. My Marketing 101 never went away. All good, but can we add another trip after St. Louis, maybe St. Lucia? BTW, I love the location of the ballpark in St. Louis.,,
Sales of Sydney ad Bud Light would be a flop (right now). AB would be seen as a manipulator. And anyone rushing to buy Bud Light, a sheeple. Bud Light put an actual man with lipstick on their can. They went full retard. And as the wise Kirk Lazarus told us, you never go full retard.
Can we have some fun?
“America, what a country!”
Check out my substack what it means to be an American

Gosh I wish so many peopled would "never go full retard" but they seem abundant today. I steer away from those kind. Too high maintenance.
Americans forgive, maybe not forget but sex sells!
AB InBev are HD’d in Belgium. Since the lady boy ad I’ve been trying to avoid all AB InBev products. But they own several
other beer brands I liked. I had to find Mexican beer alternatives for Corona, Modelo and Pacifico.
I’ve turned to having this delicious tequila neat, instead:
https://www.tequilamatchmaker.com/agave_spirits/6887-volcan-de-mi-tierra-reposado
Cans on cans same as Jeans on genes.
Fantastic idea!
Nope. They picked an ugly tranny to represent their brand, then doubled down when their customers complained, and doubled down again by sponsoring tranny events and propaganda.
Dumping Mulvaney for an actual female isn't going to unhappen their insults and make things all better.
And if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump 'is ass a-hopin.
Beer is bad, alcohol = body eating demonic spirits: https://old.bitchute.com/video/ZMpgPFYI5s2v [1:21mins]
The sooner A-B goes bankrupt the better.
I grew up on beer and the St Louis Cardinals. I gave up beer about ten years ago, and gave up the Cardinals and ALL of baseball in 2020 when they bowed down and worshipped a criminal and a terrorist org., BLM. I'm better off for both decisions.
I'm still a Redbirds fan Dave but just barely... now-a-days I wear a paper bag with eye cutouts because they are so bad. My dad was from St Louis and so I grew up a 'Birds fan and can't quite get them out of my system, even though they really suck.
I did totally cold turkey the NFL in 2017, will never go back - they couldn't pay me to go back. The only pro team I watch is the Cardinal baseball team and that is just because of great memories of Musial, The Wizard of Oz, Jim Edmonds, Wainwright, Gibby, Brock, McCarver, Pujols, Molina and so many more through the years. Any more liberal bullshit from them and that will be it.
i'll drink to that !
Thanks for this - a short but most interesting video on spirits!
Sex sells and she is sexy.
"The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery."
The World Order
Eustace Mullins
1992
I saw Mullins several times at financial and private group gatherings. I talked with him on the phone several times and he told me how organizations like the SPLC were out to get him and how his father was attacked by goons on that Blue Ridge highway. Mullins, and as is little known, wrote the best biography on Ezra Pound ever, That Difficult Individual. And it was Pound who suggested the Federal Reserve topic which led to publication of Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Mullins lived and grew up in Staunton, Virginia ... my wife's hometown.
Mullins is one of my few true heroes and I am delighted to see this quotation. And definitely it brightens my day!
This year I have read all of Mullins with particularly his take on the Civil War. Pound was a mentor to Mullins, as to Hemingway and Yeats, a real truth teller and thrown in prison for his works as a patient. You have a great story. Thank you.
Pound is, in my stupid little world, the greatest impresario of the twentieth century, and persecuted for telling the truth. After the war they really wanted to try and convict Pound, excepting they the Washington crowd could not withstand discovery. Pound would have exposed them all for the porto-Globalist that they were. So they deemed him insane and shipped him off to St. Elizabeth's hospital either in Washington, D.C. or on the outskirts ... and locked him up but good. And that's were Mullin met pound. (The United States was still better back them and people could visit Pound.
Pound edited Elliot's The Wasteland ... and his suggestions probably put The Wasteland over the top. I remember Elliot made some comments in that direction.
Pound and Mullins, both great men. Both saw the wickedness of the United States growing before most of us.
I think it was in “The Movable Feast” that Hemingway mentioned Pound was a very congenial person, even to Hemingway, who was young and not famous yet in Paris at the time.
Pound edited Hemingway and WB Yeats that led them to receive the Nobel Prize.
Or they rely on human nature to do some of the heavy lifting.
I think physical laws have analogs in human nature so if you set up groups that are authoritarian with certain ideas, organically, there will be opposition to those ideas. And then of course, the same group that initiated this wants to "game" the system by employing controlled opposition to splinter and divide the resistance. The ultimate response then is to be inclusive rather than exclusive.
Until outside finding is used to create violence like BLM or challenge the 2nd amendment like in NY now.
Well, that would be counter to the objectives of the resistance. BLM, first of all, is a misattribution. It's like Biden arguing that the restrictions and mandates during Covid were to protect democracy. You can't protect something by undermining it.
The genius of Black Lives Matter is the whole group name is based on a straw man argument.
There are a few people out there that believe people who are not their color do not matter, but it's not something that most people argue about.
I got into a long prolonged argument with a science fiction author I admired about this very issue, and they could never see past it. I condemned the marketing scheme from the beginning, even as I admire its genius. It put a pre-bunk in their naming.
Any argument against BLM was met with "so you don't think black lives matter?"
My contention was we should have also created related groups around BLM like "Water is Wet" and "The Sky is Blue." And make those a rallying cry.
Bud Light should not recover.
The brand should go extinct as a lesson that the trans mental illness is not funny, and that promoting it in any way is a crime against children, many of whom have now been sexually mutilated and sterilized merely for the virtue-signaling points of AWFLs.
I hope that they don’t do that. I want that company to serve as a constant reminder of the cost of going woke.
To late….
Bud lighthead said they don’t like folks like us. We didn’t break up, we were dumped. Never go back to Bud Lightshit, ever.
Anheuser-Busch should never recover. If they'd been more immediately decisive in addressing the Mulvaney ad, I'd cut them slack. They weren't. I wanted a draft beer yesterday, and had 4 choices - Bud Light, Mick Light, Amberbock (also AB affiliated) and an IPA I don't like much. I had to order the IPA. Real consequences are what work.
I wrote this back when it all happened with Bud Light. Only my idea was for Coors Light to use Real Women.
https://sadiejay.substack.com/p/dear-coors-light
Bud Lite seems to be redeeming themselves with some Shane Gillis ads - this is great - "wrong commercial" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azB5TB_JGmQ
That's funny. Shane is funny.
Good morning group of free minded people
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20
Amen!
My favorite verse! There are so many but this verse says so much.
The reign of ugly is over!
Let’s just make sure Reddit and its nerds never lorde over culture AGAIN!
I’ve only seen clips in a couple pictures of this ad, but I just realized she may not have any tattoos? I’m not totally against tattoos. I just think that the culture of people being covered with them all over every media source is 🙄
I hope the trend is ending. I don't mind small discrete tattoos, but large ones may look cool in your 20's, but not so much when aged on crepey, saggy skin. I can't help but wonder if the "sleeves" and other tattoos covering lots of skin hampers vitamin D absorption from the sun.
I also wonder about having those dyes in your skin for so long. Especially when there are large areas covered. I don’t think we have a good sense of what effects there might be long term because tattoos used to be limited to somewhat marginalized populations up until quite recently.
A tattooed person also cannot use DMSO on their inked skin.
Another negative!
Huh...hadn't thought about the Vitamin D aspect. You might be on to something.
I believe the Bible says we should not tattoo ourselves????
Leviticus 19:28
But He didn't mean we can't tattoo Bible vs, crosses, or Jesus pictures. Those things help us remember that we COULD read the Bible and that Jesus will recognize us by the cross we wear and of course as conversation starters, that unburdens us from actually carrying a Bible for someone to notice...I know, I have one on my phone too.
Please don't mention the amout of money to get one, that $$$ was given to a sinner who now has that vs memorized and is trying to support their family and too many young Christians today don't have one so....
Tic
The Bible says we should not do a lot of things..........yet, we humans do them anyway.
But thank goodness we are not under Levitical Law!
Yep, big thumbs down for tats. Will be glad when this nasty craze is over.
We'll be dead first.
Me too! But it will never be over for them! It’s for life LOL
It seems to me that everyone I know has at least one tattoo. I’m not so surprised by the men, as I am by the women. However, I did make the observation when I was at a waterpark this summer that there seemed to be fewer people with tattoos. I was pleasantly surprised.
I’m Gen X and most (not all) of my fellow generation are tattoo free. My daughter is Generation Z and I’m not yet seeing any ink on her friends. The zeitgeist always changes, and wouldn’t mind less trashy skin art.
Rdg tats…decisions have consequences!
Agree, I don't find them attractive especially in the volume that some seem to get, like the 'sleeves'. Glad my 30 & 32 YO kids didn't go nuts over that. Son and bunch of his friends who were on staff at a Boy Scout camp in HS all went out after they turned 18 and got matching tattoos with a logo one of them had designed to commemorate their experience. But it was small and back shoulder blade so nothing outrageous. But he didn't tell me about it until after he got it done, lol.
I remind my grandchildren that age and tattoo's do not go well together. Someday they may hear my wisdom ringing in their ears on day. I have one flower that is pretty ugly 50 years later.
I knew someone who at 18 got a huge parrot on her thigh and she was very proud to show it off and my friend and I when we left we said well that is not going to age well! 🤣
Yes it’s akin to using a sunset as a background for an ad instead of a garbage dump! It’s normal to gravitate to and appreciate beauty!
We walk the sacred path of beauty! Right on, RL!
The covid satirist has a great fatsteria out today. Hilarious 😂
Just say no.
Just say no .......... everyone's plan . (starting next tues)
That is not how I function. Few do.
And sexually alluring by looking sexually abused is in. I miss the days of at least looking innocent. Yes the catalogs and sewing pattern depictions, Holly Hobbies, and porn was despised and hidden.
How nice that this old jean maker gives philanthropically, not for the tax credit, to victims of sex abuse while encouraging it... Like cigarette companies helping ppl break the habit.
RJ,
I find the ad offensive because they make Sydney look like a teenager and have her performing soft porn. Why not have her standing, fully zipped already around horses 🐎 or hiking somewhere beautiful? 🥾
This old jean maker???? I am not following. Who is it?
I can't remember the brand name but I know they've been around for a very long time.
Good Morning ☀️
✝️✝️✝️
Let love be without hypocrisy—by abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good, being devoted to one another in brotherly love, giving preference to one another in honor, not lagging behind in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, persevering in affliction, being devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
— Romans 12:9-13 NASB95
✝️✝️✝️
What could this mean if we knew and practiced it? I think there would be no need for adverteasing and we be buying locally. 🤷🏼♀️
Some of us do in both regards. I try my best every day I breath.
"So when the President sees a foreign judge jailing political opponents without trial"
Or jailing anyone without trial or due process and sending them to a gulag in El Salvador??

Can't stay here. They broke the law and need to go back home.
They should have "self deported" while they had the chance.... if Joe invited them while in office, they've overstayed their welcome...
Bard, how many of them would you like living in your neighborhood??? How many of them did you personally invite to come invade our country??? If they're being detained in any jail, it must be bc they were found praying and doing good works? Don' think so! but...I could be wrong....nah...
That gulag you mentioned trains the inmates in skilled trades and crafts, so that when they are released they are able to get gainful employment.
Documented?
The US doesn't even have that.
Your proof?
Bukele posted a video documenting this
…video proof available for those who research
Sydney Sweeney causing liberals to thrash around regarding too much whiteness from AE ad, makes me want to go buy AE stuff.
I don't know if anyone has said the quiet part out loud but I have ugly people fatigue. I am sick of being told to celebrate the ugly people as if they are 10's. They aren't and never will be. I'm sick of seeing them in advertising. I'm sick of them tut tutting on social media the way they are against Sidney Sweeney. Men aren't women, healthy at any size is a lie and ugly people aren't 10's.
Amen to that!! It's a clear sign of their mental and emotional instability that these unattractive furious women actually film themselves having their meltdowns and then post them on social media. Like the rest of the world should actually care! We live in bizarre times.
The easiest way to drain their energy is to STOP WATCHING. Every click elevates their status wether you agree to not. Clicks = recognition.
that is why I did not watch that Tik Tok post Jeff included in this substack. No soup for you, no clicks for you! (seinfeld reference).
I knew I didn’t have to watch it to get the gist as soon as I saw the middle-aged Greta-braids.
Exactly! I'm not watching their moronic videos, just noticing how many there are when scrolling on X.
I’m a child of the 80s, we had supermodels like Cindy Crawford in ads. The AE ad reminds me of traditional advertising using very attractive women and highlighting their assets, and like it or not… sex appeal sells. I also like that this ad appeals to red blooded heterosexual men.
I recently saw on TV an ad for a razor to shave your “intimate parts”… it featured an unattractive woman with hair sticking out of her underwear… 🤢. That Calvin Klein ad reminds me of that.
Too much info .................. hahahahaha
This all made me think of the 1980s Calvin Kline ad with 15 year old Brook Shields - “you know what comes between me and my Calvin Kline’s - nothing!” There was tons of criticism about too provocative - I think both the Brook Shields and the current adds are very well done, especially compared to what we have been shown and expected to get on that bandwagon for the last several years!!!
What, Cecil? You don't find the fat ladies in adult diaper tv commercials attractive? How about the tv commercials of fat ladies spraying body deodorant down their pants? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised that there isn't more uproar showing "robust" women spraying chemicals over what is already a toxic environmental catastrophe. You already need a hazmat suit to enter that space...
Mike, that is the quiet part out loud! 🤣🤣
It’s called a ‘limited hangout!’
Yes!! If your whole body needs deodorant, take a shower.
Lol. They're pushing it as 72 hr protection. Who needs 72 hrs protection unless they don't bathe? Gross.
I remember the days when I only watched the Super Bowl for the commercial's. Those were the days.
Good taste in advertising is most definitely lacking.
I am so tired of the constant vulgarity. Latest run of YouTube commercials is on how we poop and what our poop tells us. PLEASE. STOP.
So gross
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
🤮😂🤮😂
Me too. Also tired of seeing the obligatory black-white couple in every single commercial. Give me a break!
I am not thin. I wish I was. But seeing the smiley fat people dancing on drug commercials makes me want to puke.
I had no idea there were so many ugly people in this world, inside and out.
Yes, the asthetically challenged are everywhere..an I am one of them.
Jimmy, this comment (and the other one about comfortable clothes) say something to me. People are ugly on purpose. Even the most "aesthetically challenged" person can look like someone with self-respect. I went and found an image consultant 15 years ago--changed me not only outwardly, but internally, regarding how I view myself. I've recommended image consultants to many female and male friends. Results: NIGHT and DAY! I am sad that I see so many people--SO. MANY. PEOPLE.--who purposely and purposefully present themselves ugly. It's a culture of self-loathing.
I am taking the liberty of sharing your comment on a different platform.
To me, it’s not about ugly, it’s that they’re pushing an ugly agenda. And in your face about it.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that people like to look at attractive, healthy people. Men in particular like to look at beautiful women (doh!)
Just finished the 2nd prequel to the Yellowstone series (1883 and 1923). Clearly Taylor Sheridan knows the importance of casting extremely attractive, healthy people in leading roles. Too bad he has to pander to the kinky sex and virulent Catholic hatred … guess it’s a requirement to get your project funded by Hollywood (or maybe he really thinks this adds to the story lines…)
Yes, fully agree, but the bar is so low I’ll never look that disgusting. Makes me feel better!
It’s because many liberals are ugly and as per usual, they are trying to dictate your thoughts to make them feel better about themselves.
I wonder how many customers Calvin Kline lost?
I'm really wondering ......... just how do those fat people procreate ??
they must have some secret ..... cause they are taking over the world !
You aren't born fat, well most people aren't born fat. But I think the food pyramid might be one of the factors.
You mean that "Froot Loops are healthier than scrambled eggs" food pyramid?
Or the one that says we need 6-11 servings of carbs per day?

And yes, it's probably changed since the above graph.
I take umbrage at your remark😂
They populate the drug commercials because they look, & probably are sicker than average.

It's such great PR, it makes me wonder if AE is paying these leftists to post this crazy stuff?!
Good point because I’d never heard of Sweeney and hadn’t seen the ad until social media blew up about it and now I kinda want to take my teenager and all her friends to AE to buy something
Hmm, that would be a brilliant move. I hope it’s organic outrage though, it’s funny seeing irrational people melt down over nothing.
I don't think I would have seen the ad if not for all the rage it has created. It was a genius move for the marketing department.
Can we call Customer Service and tell them that? 🤣🤣🤣
If so, and they came out and published it, wow! That would be genius.
I'm surprised that brand is still around, frankly.
Have you seen the stock price? It's back relevant again.
They have comfortable and well fitting clothes. My closet is full of AE.
Does AE makes "guys" jeans? hmmm. Maybe I will. . .
dang, got too many jeans right now. Next year.
Not only do they make guys jeans, they also have them in longer inseams (36”) if needed.
Yes they do. I once art-directed a photo shoot for AE men’s jeans and flannel shirts.
They’re on sale right now!!
they do.
Me too, I have been browsing AE's website.
Victoria's Secret still uses attractive women too. Just sayin. :)
They’re still using trans models, too. Are you sure you’re looking at a woman?
I did not know this as I have not looked recently. I get a coupon from them, and they look like women but I throw them away pretty fast.
I'm dreaming of a white.... Sydney ..........
Here's a theory.
Concerning Russiagate, they are saying people can't be prosecuted because the statute of limitations has expired. My theory is IF the evidence was hidden via being classified, the statute of limitations clock should not have been ticking. Only after being declassified should said clock be ticking 🔔🕐!
No statute of limitations for an ongoing seditious conspiracy, to take down Trump. The more they lie and cover up, the longer the conspiracy lasts.
All crimes should be prosecuted.
It's illegal to classify something to conceal the commission of a crime.
If I were in charge, I would strongly consider whether such classification activity is a part of the original crime, thus extending the date of commission of said crime for the duration of the classification.
Given that the information was found in a SCIF, I would guess that would tack on at least 25 years.
No statute of limitations for treason? Plus, some people have said that they’re continuing the lie therefore it’s still active. 🤷🏼♀️
So you're telling me there's a chance...
It seems DoJ might try to use SoL as a reason to not prosecute. If the evidence was labeled classified, it couldn't be presented in court. Now that it has been declassified it can be used in court, so now SoL clock/calendar should start, upon date of declassification.
That's my theory & I'm sticking to it!!! 🤠
Brennan and Clapper probably just reset the clock with their NYT op-ed.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/opinion/trump-obama-treason-russia-miller.html
Of course they are. Just another indication of how guilty they are. If they weren’t, they’d be saying “bring it.” I guarantee Trump would say that because he isn’t guilty.
Sydney Sweeney jeans SOLD OUT yesterday and American Eagle stock went up 18%. What a fantastic ad! Heard from the lady who has done more jeans ads than ANYONE else, EVER. (Used to work for Levi's for 31 years). She was on Newsmax last night. Her take? BRILLIANT! Keep it going! Oh, and by the way, those questioning the ad... Beyonce was in a Levi's ad wearing full denim and showing off her fake blonde locks not so very long ago... and, it was apparently ok.
You mean when Beyoncé was engaging in cultural appropriation?
Yes. She has culturally appropriated white women's hair. She has also bleached her skin in another act of self-loathing. There are a bunch of videos on Youtube showing her descent into paleness.
Michael Jackson led the way.
In more ways than one .... becoming white, in skin coloring and face features, styling himself as a female, specifically in the likeness of Liz Taylor, fathering children from white females only, etc.....and these are only some of what is publicly known
I will never understand that. God made you what you are so enjoy and don't emulate anyone else.
How many remember Michael Jackson and his "changes"?
This ⬆️
Like that black woman married to a white pastor who has fake blonde hair… Yelling about white people … OK
Kamala is married to a white guy.
Yes! I forget that!
I wonder how much money Byonce and Levis made using all that cultural appropriation
That’s Jennifer Sey. She’s written at least 3 articles related to jeans marketing and the Sweeney controversy, one of which has clips from a bunch of ads she did in the 20+ years she worked for Levi’s.
Should have said those articles are on substack.
I'm loving this!
Music to my ears!
Well...I took the cheese, Counselor. I got 15 seconds into the video and proceeded to wretch in such a horrid manner that my dog was throwing me looks of serious concern. I've had my fill of these flippin self-righteous, slobbering, brain damaged turd buckets. I'm not wasting anymore time on these tards. American Eagle...the very name reeks of whiteness and American exceptionalism. Oh, the very nerve. Yankees to the right!..Doodles to the left!...Chitlins forever, y'all!
I was wondering regarding this story… what if AE had cast Beyoncé in that ad (she’s in a Levi’s ad, so she would probably not be allowed) with the same script, these buffoonish AWFLs would have said nothing. I think the AWFLs are racist nitwits.
I think Emily Compagno from Fox News would be a GREAT model for AE!
Yes she so beautiful ❤️
and!, SUCH a sweetheart.
Every father wishes for a daughter like her.
And nobody complained about Beyoncé’s BLONDE hair in that ad….
Yep, she warned the girl on the phone that she might be locked up. Assumed her nationality or non-whiteness.
I watched the whole thing… that smug woman.
She was the definition of an AWFL! Mental illness and TDS on full display. Also, don't forget she's extremely jealous of Sydney Sweeney. These leftist chicks are jealous. Sad way to live life.
I wonder how that vid will play when the AWFL starts her job search. She offended at least 50% of ad viewers. The internet is forever.
I daresay they are misogynists.
But they have cats to love.
So do I & I’m not one of them. Time to get off the cat thing. 😼
Poor cats.
A rather charitable description.
The snarky look on her face……..thinking she was going to change the world with her little TikTok. I wonder how much she got paid for that.
In Twinkies.
Smug Obnoxious Woman... Or SOW 😄
Bless you for being a risk-taker. Hope you recover soon.
I could only her first few words. Uggh
You have more patience than me 😉
Not really, I was just in a mood to be outraged.🤷♀️
🤮
Isn’t she privileged to be able to spout her nonsense on YouTube.
I warned you
You don't tell a child to not stick its fingers in the light socket and expect a good outcome. Pain and suffering. My therapist thinks I have a strong case. See you in court!
You think she's got a husband, happy nuclear family and a rewarding career going?
I'd take the under on that bet.
Happy does not act like that....
Yeah, her "husband" is a trust fund nitwit that is deaf-dumb-blind. (apologies to the hearing impaired for the contrived insult), With a BMI over 40.
Ha ha. Under
I took Jeff's advice and decided not to give her any more attention.
🤣🤣 I wish there was a laughing emoji next to the 'like' button. You'd get mine every time!
She was the epitome of racist, she assumed the woman on the phone was of another race and better watch out…. ‘you might be locked up’ 😂
I watched, too. 😳
So "flirting with eugenics" is bad, so say the folks who champion and enthusiastically kill unborn babies right up until birth.
I'm far from alone in this, but I've been saying for years now that Liberalism/Leftism is a mental disorder. In fact, though, it's a mental illness. Leftism is a mental illness. Leftists are batsht crazy.
Avoid Leftists at all cost.
It’s actually spiritual. The demonic spirits are all around and in them.
The demonic spirits lead to the mental illness so it is both.
I’m thinking that some humans submit their souls to the lead of the demons until they become one with the demons.
… it is written that Satan entered the heart of Judas
and applaud bill gates who comes from a family of eugenicists.
And applaud planned parenthood which was started for the goal of killing black babies.
I believe Gates father was a founding member of planned parenthood - eugenics family.
Most "normal" people understand it is a mental and a spiritual disorder. We are instructed to pray for them and to love one another. We are also told not to be yoked with those who could lead us into temptation.
I’m wondering, Debra, if Jesus ever prayed for or loved the leaders of Israel that he said were doing the works of their father, the devil. I will admit to his attempts to get them to think about, and change, their wrong doctrines and actions,
…but, there are places in the book where God said don’t pray for them because he’s not gonna listen
You are right. We are also told not to cast our pearls before swine and sometimes we are to brush the dust from our feet and move along. I think we can try once when we are felt to try with others but if there is no sign of remorse or repentance then we move along. There are also those who have been blind like Pharoah who would not change his mind no matter what. Jesus tried reason many times with the Jewish leaders but they were set in their own agenda of greed and power.
That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NASB95)
Liberals/ leftist and many who claim to be Libertarian too. How can a person be a libertarian and sanction the killing of a human? The ultimate oxymoron!
I think in reality, as with liberals/leftist, they are only concerned about what affects them on a personal level. Very sanctimonious!
Dear Sydney Sweeney,
Please please please don’t apologize! You will continue to receive so much pressure from your industry, but stay strong and swim against the tide.
Sydney’s brand just increased in value!
I never heard of her until now.
Same!
The more the Left tries to takedown Western Culture, the more “normies” become red pilled.
In the words of Popeye, “I’ve taken all I can stands and I can’t stands no more”.
I need a shirt with that on it!!!
Yes!!!!!
Regarding the rising rates of ADHD and Autism, they’ve been trying to “normalize” autism—I mean vaccine injured kids— for a while now.
And it all started when they changed the DSM criteria and with a plethora of shows aimed at kids who wanna be “unique,” “special,” “quirky.”
Go to your doctor and since you SEEM this way, you get an autism diagnosis.
Crazy world we live in my friends:
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-the-dsm-iii-and-tv-shows-rebranded
Try bring a parent of a severely autistic child! I’m certain it ain’t an easy life! I was told my child had ADHD, (never diagnosed, as he didn’t fit the criteria). Was told by educators he wasn’t as smart as we thought he was, was going to end up in the trades, (half my family members are tradesmen). He now has a Masters in Engineering. Choke on that, educators!
My Son is not severely autistic. He has Aspergers. I caught very early on since I was involved with raising babies at an early age (Sibs).
I spent hours every week at OT, PT, music classes, gymnastics, then T ball, social skills classes, workshops. You get the picture. I was lucky, I could devote my time to his future because my former spouse had a good job.
I am sorry for anyone who doesn’t have the time or resources to be able to do this.
I am not sure why I am blurting this out. I thank God for the ability and resources to help him.
See my reply above.
A teacher told my husband's parents that he was slow. It turns out he was just bored.
Yep - my son’s first grade teacher (before advent of ADHD and Autism) told us that he was dyslexic (the ADHD of his time). When we asked how she knew she said “I’m a teacher and trained to know these things.” After testing, at our insistence, turned out not dyslexic but bored and likely smarter than the teacher!!!
I spent most of high school in that state.
My brother has undiagnosed Aspergers which is part of the autism spectrum. He was a D student in high school. After a stint in the Army he got degree in Electrical Engineering and passed his Professional Engineering exam. He can fix just about anything. He's also smart enough to be conservative.
You should drop his CV / resume' off to the HS "counselor". . . Just for kicks.
The WEF is getting involved in school curriculum. What could possibly go wrong?

Autism awareness… Autism acceptance… Autism appreciation…
Same exact arc and trajectory as the Gay issue.
Well... there's another thing to consider.
If you believe that white Christian men of normal IQ are the greatest threat to "globalism," you might think that "globalists" would want a white Christian society filled with mentally ill young people, chronically sick young people and young people that are neurodivergent, since all of these groups *might* be easier to manage. Key word being *might*.
In the end, maybe we're all considered cattle, and what really matters is that, as our numbers grow, we become easier to control.
Have to add…if autism was such a good thing why does it cost like 5 million dollars to raise an autistic child. What is the real employment rate among autistic people—I mean really autistic people? Not great. So… where are they going to go. Are they going to end up on the streets or in renovated institutions where they will be drugged. No future scenario looks good or virtuous.
Autism . . Depopulation . . Low birth rates . . Climate crisis . . Pandemics . . Covid vaccinations . . Infertility . . Pattern?
The End........
There are examples of autistic people that were brilliant in one pursuit or another, and their quirks are seen as a trade off to their brilliance. Most of the time though, it’s a major hindrance and a problem.
Hollywood does these people no favors by portraying all autistic people as misunderstood savants.
It is all part of the weakening and stupiding down of our country, sponsored by, to name one, Bill Gates, along with the failing schools. This is all necessary for the populace to be beaten down so we will obey orders from the Overlords.
As much as I dislike Gates and his ilk I place a lot of blame on local churches. We have accepted the mindset that it's government's job to take care of other people & their issues. Most churches are cocooned.
Imagine how God would/could be glorified if the many idle churches stepped up and assisted the few churches who are active. That's what this country needs, not the biggest greatest ever whatevers!
Ok, I'll shut up.
I could go on for hours on this subject!
A friends 25 yr old son has Aspergers and cannot get a job anywhere.
I worked with a man who has Aspergers. He struggled to learn, and to do his job without making mistakes. The higher-ups didn't take his learning disability into consideration. It's very difficult for people with this condition.
Well, if you're over 50 and cognitively "normal," you're not going to find a job either. So there's that.
Very True!
In the future, autistic people will be among the first to be eliminated. They're creating a thousand ways to 500 million people.
I agree, that is a legitimate concern 😕 If it’s caused by something man made like vaccines and we can do something to change that, of course we should!
While I personally don't really give an eff about the woke BS and wish there was much less focus on it, Jeff hit the nail on the head here:
We’re now living in an upside-down world where saying you’re fit, attractive, and happy is “eugenic imagery,” but chemically sterilizing kids is “healthcare.”
A part of me thinks that the over-the-top reaction of the left on stuff like this is actually beneficial. At some point, they have to run out of words to describe their indescribably outrage? When everything is eugenics, violence, nazism, and the worst thing ever, then their outrage ceases to have meaning, no?
When the angry cat lady next door screams at you for long enough, don't people start to laugh at her eventually?
I’d call it neuro-linguistic programming-normalizing eugenics. After all, we see how government agencies are expending vast amounts of money in biotechnology, let alone private eugenic “philanthropists” who have invested in this merging of human and machine. But for what purpose? Control and surveillance or the more altruistic side of helping a person move a paralyzed limb? Remember when euthanasia was only for the terminally ill?
It has to be presented with a shiny object so the useless eaters will scarf it up.

Jeff is the metaphor & similie MASTER!
And I would just add alliteration ace
But Brazil isn't the only one. The UK to whom we owe much of the framework for our speech is cracking down. But we don't owe to the gov't but to the individuals willing to have their ears nailed to scaffolding for articulating their words aloud. The gov't is up to its tricks again, but in a different way. Here is something from Pirate Wires Daily Three Takes. Elon isn't the only billionaire concerned about free speech.
"The UK’s “Online Safety Act” is live, not only requiring age verification for British citizens on American social media platforms, messaging apps, search engines, and user-generated platforms like YouTube and Twitch, but also levying massive fines on companies that fail to censor “harmful” material, which the British government publicly defines as sex stuff, and legally defines as political content the British government doesn’t like (good luck criticizing imported Pakistani rape gangs, for example). Sadly, despite Paul Graham’s incredible recent suggestion that his beloved Britain might become a “hub for intellectual refugees” fleeing Trump, this is the most draconian piece of anti-speech legislation we’ve seen in any of our lives, and our problem is broader than the UK’s decline. Europe’s attempting to leverage its market power to force similar censorship at home. Our companies have defended against such authoritarianism for years, but they’re losing ground, and there’s only one play left. Mr. Trump, a little help?"
Elon isn't concerned about free speech. He's concerned about gathering as much data as possible in his quest to be our overlord.
Anything's possible.
I tell a friend the only savior is the one in your faith. Even the best intentioned actions can unleash poison and the selfish ones can be beneficial. So lots of wisdom in 'Stay Frosty'
The Dems maybe, Elon I doubt it.
“On line Safety Act” - or is it the silence act? Wake up UK.
I would suggest the liberal lady call planned parenthood and inquire about their eugenics program.
Right??
1st !!!!! HAHAHAH AHAHAH HAHAHAH
Yippee! I got distracted by the Epoch Times. There’s a lot happening these days.
I had my email open. I saw it "blink" and there was the C&C email, so I RAN (Figuratively, of course) to open it and go to the comments.
Nicely done
Wooooo!🥳
Congrats!! 😁
YES... one for Kansas. Representing 🤣🤣
Congratulations! You get the Blue Ribbon for the day! :)
(Yes, I'm just jealous being on the Worst Coast and having 3 hours time difference.)
