Ten years ago, today, we lost a giant: Andrew Breitbart. He was a visionary. We could go on and on about how Andrew was ahead of his time—about how he saw, over a decade ago, what we are seeing play out today in culture, media, and politics. We could talk about how many people he influenced in the conservative movement and how he taught those people how to enjoy the fight and how to fight to win—how to “walk toward the fire” as he would always say. Andrew was about something bigger than himself. He was about the movement as...

“Right wing builds its own echo chamber,” the far-left, fake news site Axios warned in a recent headline. They cancel us, they blacklist us, they shadow ban us, they memory-hole inconvenient truths about Hunter Biden’s laptop, Kyle Rittenhouse’s innocence, and the coronavirus lab-leak theory, and now they’re all butthurt because we refuse to sit there, shut up, and take it. Hey, can you blame them? After decades of dealing with the right’s castrated, house-trained McCains, Romney’s, Bushes, Kristols, and National Reviews, the media are still shell-shocked over this new generation’s awesome belligerence towards them (which our founder Andrew Breitbart deserves...

Media Matters for America, a George Soros-funded organization that attempts to censor conservative media, complained Thursday that Andrew Breitbart’s original 2012 attack on Critical Race Theory “appears to be working,” nine years later.Media Matters’ Spencer Silva notes that today’s backlash against Critical Race Theory in communities all across America began with Breitbart News drawing attention to the doctrine, then a “little known academic study of systemic racism.”Critical Race Theory is a doctrine that claims all the political, social, and economic institutions of the United States are inherently racist because they were developed during a time when black people could be...

Source: Screenshot via CBS News/YouTubeTen years ago this week, Andrew Breitbart took the podium at Anthony Weiner's hastily arranged press conference in New York City. It was just hours after Breitbart's Big Government website (the precursor to what is now known as Breitbart News) published a series of damning selfies of the New York congressman in various states of undress. 10 Years Later: Larry Remembers The Andrew Breitbart Anthony Weiner Press ConferenceThe photos were proof that the congressman had been lying and falsely accusing Breitbart and his employees (including myself) of "hacking" his Twitter account with pornographic imagery. The evening...

Twitter posthumously stripped Andrew Breitbart of his account’s verified status. The Twitter account of Breitbart, who passed away in March of 2012, no longer contains a blue checkmark. Archived webpages of the legendary conservative journalist’s Twitter, however, show that his account had the symbol through at least January 11th, 2021. The following archive of Breitbart’s Twitter page, from February 20th, 2021, lacks a checkmark next to his name.

It's not all that surprising that, in the wake of Rick Perry's much-maligned anti-gay ad the other day, the gay conservative group GOPRoud ended up at the center of the ensuing media storm, fielding requests from reporters left and right. Except it seems that the group's director and chairman (inadvertently, they claim) created a gay-bashing brouhaha of their own by letting slip the true sexual orientation of Tony Fabrizio, a top strategist on the governor's presidential campaign. In an e-mail to the rest of the board — acquired by the Daily Caller — GOProud leaders Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSavlia...

Thursday, the United States District Court Southern District of New York order an indictment to be unsealed for Anthony Weiner, the husband of Huma Abedin, who was the longtime aide of Hillary R. Clinton. Exploring the content of the laptop has been highly anticipated because the contents of his laptop include the missing Clinton emails, which are expected to be disturbing and provide further evidence of criminal culpability for Clinton and other Democrats. ...

Do you remember Kurt Schlichter’s column from February 2017? The one where he noted that “…finally, the Right has taken Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and shoved it up where #TheResistance don’t shine”? [ed. - MOTUS has been at it for nearly 10 years.] It’s the one where he points out that of all the people who might have become Andrew Breitbart’s standard bearer, the one person who took it up was the the least likely candidate: Bizarrely, the guy who picked up the standard and carried it forward when our beloved commander was felled by fate was a New...

Facebook is displaying a link to Wikipedia’s smear-job description of Breitbart News next to all Breitbart articles shared on the site. The linked Wikipedia article describes Breitbart as a “far-right site” that publishes “falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and intentionally misleading stories.” The social network, which has been under pressure from Democrats and the mainstream media since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, has added a button marked “about this article” next to all posts linking to Breitbart News pieces on the site. Currently only viewable for American users, the button brings up a pop-up screen that displays Wikipedia’s misleading description...

Interesting article: Culture Precedes PoliticsThroughout history, changing a country’s politics and statutes has been the final goal of forceful popular attempts to contain power, but mass refusal to accept political abuses has always begun in the culture. “Culture” is a vague term so let us define it as the sum of actions of the citizens of a country, the attitudes that drive their responses to events, their expectations of what they may do and the memories of what they, and perhaps their ancestors, have always done. The founding of the United States is just one example of this process. In...

Look out Libs, you’re never going to know what hit you:  Five Reasons Why America Is About To Become A Very Conservative Country In summation, everything liberals have relied on to bolster their ranks, propagate their ideas, and pass their laws, are failing. So there shouldn’t be any doubt. Over the next few decades, America is going to become a very conservative place. – Zero Hedge For years we’ve wondered if the left could ever cross a bridge too far; thanks to Kathy Griffin we finally have the answer and it’s yes. As Kurt Schlichter wrote last week, after decades...

The FBI has been bad about processing FoIA requests for years now. It’s about time somebody did it, even if it’s the goofy cat-video website Buzzfeed. I’m talking about suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation which is apparently violating federal law by failing to process Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) requests in a timely manner. In this case Buzzfeed wants the FBI file for the late Andrew Breitbart and hasn’t been getting it.

Since her short-lived political career, Louise Mensch has developed a reputation among Clinton partisans as a constant purveyor of Russian election interference allegations and conspiracy theories. Like several Clinton partisans, her Twitter feed is completely focused on the anti-Russia narrative.On November 2016, the pro-Brexit former Conservative member of Parliament managed to transmogrify a tweet about the passing of Leonard Cohen—who is Canadian—into a pro-America, anti-Russia attack. In January 2017, she claimed without any evidence that a terrorist attack at a nightclub in Istanbul was a false-flag Russian operation. On March 20, Mensch retweeted a tweet claiming, “We are at war with Russia.” Mensch has previously called for all out war on Russia, with “precision bombing raids. Bank...

“An ascendant Breitbart.com and President Trump are truly Andrew Breitbart’s greatest legacy Wednesday, March 1 marks the fifth anniversary of the death of conservative icon Andrew Breitbart.

Less than a month before his 2011 “heart failure”, Andrew tweeted about Hillary Clinton’s long-time friend and campaign manager John Podesta: "How prog-guru John Podesta isn't household name as world class underage sex slave op cover-upperer defending unspeakable dregs escapes me."
