Mandatory ID Checks for Nonalcoholic Beer?

Original Article

If you walk into a grocery store and pick up a six-pack of nonalcoholic beer, you might be caught off guard by an unexpected request to show your ID to the cashier. As a matter of inventory protocol, nonalcoholic beers are often categorized under similar stock-keeping unit (SKU) numbers as regular beer, which can result in a would-be buyer automatically getting carded at the register. But what might be an occasional, if annoying, quirk of modern retailing could soon become a government mandate.Various "experts" are calling on state governments to impose age restrictions on the sale of nonalcoholic drinks, according to CNN.

It's probably more convenient for the store to just card everybody young than have to check if the beer is non-alcoholic. At age 82, nobody cards me anymore :).

The days of "if they made a rule, there must be a good reason for it" are gone. Nowadays I am not obligated to obey anyone's rules or laws. Neither are you. They were passed probably as a result of bribery or a power grab and have nothing to do with the public good. I have no respect for anyone who would impose their will on me without an obvious good reason. Hang them all.

#3: I'm 76 and some chain stores require ID because they hire 16 yr old clerks. Some even want to scan the DL. Needless to say, I don't shop there. Nobody should scan the magnetic strip on my DL but the cops.

Root Beer is also a non-alcoholic beverage. Should we ID purchasers of that product too? Such a ridiculous subject. Govt has too much time and too many intrusive employees on its hands.

correct #7==many businesses are grabbing the sensitive info from the driving licences and digitising them for sale to data aggregators and brokers. these data bases are worth many millions of dollars, especially to entities who--by law-- cannot have them. months ago, the house passed the '4th amendment is not for sale act' to close the data selling loophole. chuck schemer refuses to bring it to a vote. should we wonder how [much] schmuckie benefits from this refusal?

Despite the Harris/Walz media avoidance strategy, we do know a number of things about the peculiar Tim Walz, Democrats' Vice Presidential nominee. First, he's a radical ideologue who has rammed through an extreme left-wing agenda as governor, despite razor-thin Democratic legislative majorities. Second, he lies habitually and serially about virtually everything. He's lied and misled, knowingly and repeatedly, about his military service. [snip] Walz has apparently been telling people that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. As it happens, so was I. My family was living there at the time.

Before Hurricane Helene made landfall, several cities and municipalities declared local states of emergency to ensure funds would be available for storm-related repairs. One city’s local state of temporary emergency order has stirred controversy from gun advocates. On Monday, the Okeechobee Police Department admitted to enacting the wrong declaration last week, which mistakenly included a gun ban. Firearms Policy Coalition, a non-profit gun rights organization headquartered in California, recently posted the notice on X, criticizing the police department for adopting the order, which banned the sale of guns and ammunition and prohibited public firearm possession by anyone other than law enforcement or military members.

Controversial mayor Tiffany Henyard and her boyfriend are reportedly being evicted from their home in Dolton, Illinois. An eviction notice was filed against Henyard and her boyfriend, Kamal Woods, in Cook County Court. They are said to owe over $3,300 in rent payments for their home on the 14600 block of South Harvard. The document also alleges that Henyard, 41, has refused to have the property inspected. The mayor's attorney told FOX32 that this information is untrue and that the couple has no outstanding rent payments.

The left’s obsession with Trump never ends. Democrats have taken their crude and tasteless antics to a new low with the unveiling of a monstrous 43-foot nude statue resembling former President Donald Trump in yet another shameless display of vile disrespect.

In what’s likely his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden said on Tuesday that he thinks “every day” about the 13 Americans who died in a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport — as Secretary of State Antony Blinken faces a possible House panel contempt vote later in the day. “Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day,” said Biden, 81, stumbling over his script.

Dr. Jay Varma, New York City's former senior health advisor, admitted he ignored the COVID-19 policies he insisted New Yorkers follow during the pandemic. A New York City Council member wants Varma investigated after he said he attended sex parties and a dance party at the height of the outbreak, even as he told New Yorkers to stay away from others to stop the spread of coronavirus. Varma's admission came after a heavily edited video surfaced. While Varma wanted New Yorkers to be strict about social distancing, he's now admitting that he wasn't. The mea culpa came after he was caught on hidden video posted by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

In a bizarre post-debate analysis, Politico magazine has looked into the supposed significance of J.D. Vance’s facial hair. After Vance gave his fellow vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz during Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate, Politico sought to dissect the candidate’s body language, including their physical features. The piece, written by body language expert Joe Navarro, explains: One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard. As POLITICO Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years.

Washington— Donald Trump laid the groundwork to try to overturn the 2020 election even before he lost, knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud and “resorted to crimes” in his failed bid to cling to power, according to a newly unsealed court filing from prosecutors that lays out fresh details from the landmark criminal case against the former president. The filing from special counsel Jack Smith’s team offers the most comprehensive view to date of what prosecutors intend to prove if the case charging Trump with conspiring to overturn the election reaches trial. Though a months-long congressional investigation and the indictment itself have chronicled in stark detail Trump’s efforts to undo

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year. Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes,

I don't know what the viewership numbers were on the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but if they're not high they should have been because that was one of the best debates I've ever watched in my time as a political junkie (which goes back a looong time). Vance, as RedState previously reported, wiped the floor not just with Walz but also the CBS News debate moderators, who did what they weren't supposed to do at least twice in "fact-checking" Vance, only to have him refuse to be silenced by fact-checking them right back.

Elon Musk secretly funded a conservative political group in recent years, according to four people familiar with his donations, illustrating quiet financial support for right-wing causes even before the billionaire entrepreneur in July endorsed former President Donald Trump's bid for re-election. Two of the people familiar with the donations told Reuters that Musk's contributions to the organization, Building America's Future, had started by 2022. One of those people and a third source said the donations amounted to millions of dollars, significantly boosting a group whose advertisements and social media campaigns have criticized the Biden administration and progressive political platforms of the sort that Musk himself has increasingly denounced.

Or just too darned “Minnesota nice”, as they say in his home state. Folks there have a reputation for being congenitally kind and polite. Kamala Harris’s running mate could have pummelled JD Vance for being a mean, small-minded, misogynistic flip-flopper whose sole guiding principle was to suck up to Donald Trump. Instead, he came to praise rather than to bury his opponent. Vance couldn’t believe his luck. The Republican vice-presidential nominee was only too pleased to play
