WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

Jim Beam is shutting down its distillery for 2026. They blame a "glut" on the market even though the industry produced 55 million less gallons this year than last.
Some glut.

Doing your holiday shopping this weekend? Prices for many of the most popular holiday gifts have risen an average of 26% since last year — nearly 9 times the rate of inflation.
Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion this year.

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

Conservatives can always be counted on to systematically defund education & healthcare.
If they don’t outright cut funding, they will freeze budgets & let inflation do the work for them.
All of this is done to justify tax cuts (for the wealthy).
