The Wisconsin Brewery Post That Triggered a Firing

A single viral social media post set off a chain reaction that ended a high-level career in Wisconsin.

Brian Kellar served as senior vice president and president of regional markets for Aspirus Health, a major regional health system operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.

He lost that position after commenting on a social media post tied to Minocqua Brewing Company following the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

I'd love to tell you about Kellar's long career with Aspirus — decades of dedicated service to an organization working to improve the health of Americans — and how shocking his removal was to people who worked with him for a long, long time.

Eh? Not so much: Brian Kellar started working at Aspirus Health on March 30. He wasn't around long enough to earn a coffee mug.

Aspirus Health President and CEO Matt Heywood confirmed the organization parted ways with Kellar.

That'll look good on his resume': "So, why did you change jobs after just 4 weeks at Aspirus Health?"

I don't know, but I remember when a thug died while high on drugs and not following the instructions of law enforcement. The left burned down neighborhoods, looted stores, and assaulted people.

More people on the left than on the right say they think political violence is justified.

People on the right are, by and large, not going around shooting people (or at people), burning buildings, and assaulting reporters.

If violence is so prevalent on the right, one assumes the SPLC and FBI wouldn't have to go around astroturfing it.

Musk Gets Apology in California SpaceX Settlement

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/elon-musk-lawsuit-califonia/2026/04/29/id/1254645/

California regulators apologized to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk this week as they settled a lawsuit that claimed a state agency showed political bias against the rocket company and its chief executive.

As part of the settlement, the California Coastal Commission acknowledged its members made "improper" statements about Musk's political beliefs at a 2024 hearing on SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch program.

"The commission agrees that it may not consider irrelevant factors in performing its function and specifically agrees that it will not take into account the perceived political beliefs, political speech or labor practices of SpaceX or its officers in considering any regulatory action concerning SpaceX," the commission said in federal court documents filed Tuesday.

SpaceX had sued the commission over its opposition to expanding the launch schedule for Falcon 9 rockets from Vandenberg Space Force Base on the Southern California coast near Santa Barbara.

The company's lawsuit accused the coastal commission of engaging in political discrimination by refusing to sign off on a U.S. Air Force proposal to boost the number of launches at the busy base owned by the federal government.

The CCC should have been nuked 50 years ago, metaphorically, of course. It was designed to be a walking talking bypass of the USC Amendment's "Takings" clause to end private property.

This timeline tells a lot about the ICC:

I'm half expecting to hear the victim of the assault was a Mossad plant.

7. Sorry
Should have said parents. Had an old ex boyfriend and his mother thought he could do no wrong. He disrespected her and eventually me. His father wasn’t around much and didn’t have a lot to do with his upbringing. Oh and they were in no way rich.

Catholics in the Crosshairs

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/04/30/catholics-in-the-crosshairs-n3814453

But the fact is that the Democratic Party and the left have been at war with Catholics for a number of reasons, mostly having to do with gender ideology and especially abortion.

The FBI famously worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center to label conservative Catholics "domestic extremists," and federal prosecutors imposed outrageously long and disproportionate sentences (twice what they imposed on liberals violating the same laws), and prosecuted cases that they knew were losers just to impose a "process" punishment on pro-lifers.

The FBI and Biden administration insisted there was no bias. It's just that nobody is above the law, and how could anybody think that Joe Biden, a performative Catholic, could be anything but utterly fair?

WASHINGTON — Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.

Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.

“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.

“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”

“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

The Justice Department provided the communications to Grassley as part of his investigation into Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation into Republicans and conservatives. Both Cooney and Gaston went on to serve as top deputies to Special Counsel Jack Smith throughout his Arctic Frost investigation. They now head “Gaston & Cooney PLLC,” and Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.

The idea that Catholics who pray their rosary multiple times a day and who attend daily mass are a threat to the country is simply absurd. But they vote and advocate against Dems' sacred cows.
