Kirill Dmitriev — Vladmir Putin’s special envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund — is suddenly ubiquitous. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has been largely quiet since his maximalist negotiating approach with Team Trump failed. Moscow, presumably largely guided by Lavrov, after winning a concession on Tomahawk missiles, opted to continue Putin’s hardline demands for ending the war in Ukraine ahead of the proposed Trump-Putin summit in Budapest. NATO would have to admit that it was the root cause of the war. Kyiv would have to cede all of the Donbas, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine would...

And the lesson that our professional betters in Washington have drawn over the past few weeks is that means they are as bad as Nick Fuentes. They are Nazis too!Tucker Carlson: "But of course, they are not Nazis by and large. They are just American young people. And so the question is—and it is a pressing question if you care about the future of the country—why have they been listening to Nick Fuentes? Sincerely, like what is this?Why aren’t they listening to somebody from the Heritage Foundation or the Daily Wire? Why do they believe Nick Fuentes more than they...

The son of former US Ambassador Nikki Haley has raged against legal immigration and foreign aid to Israel in a stunning interview with Tucker Carlson.Nalin Haley, 24, called for restricting foreign students from attending American universities and banning naturalized US citizens from holding public office.Haley is fast-becoming a rising star among the dissident 'America First' right and Gen Z nationalists who hail his rejection of his mother's neoconservative orthodoxy as the unfiltered voice of a new generation. 'Naturalized citizens should not be able to hold public office. Growing up here is a big part of understanding the country,' Nalin, whose...

In the school of Tuckerism, I was a prospective PhD. I never missed Tucker’s Fox News monologues. Every night, I imbibed his lively lectures, treating his conservative social critique as a nightly devotional. His cuts into liberalism were scalpel-sharp. I once commented to my wife, after another of Tucker’s surgical vivisections of some liberal propagandist, “I’d hate to be one of his liberal guests.” Though sometimes, looking back, the red flags were there—baseless conspiracy theories punctuated with an emphatic “This is just true, period!”—he still put on a nightly clinic on how to deconstruct the left. But now the scalpel-like...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday publicly questioned whether Israel or another country is pressuring President Trump to conceal the files on late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. “I think it’s a question that many Americans are asking, especially when we saw information recently come out in these emails that the Oversight Committee that I serve on has released, and we saw Jeffrey Epstein with ties to Ehud Barak,” Greene told CNN of her X post. “…Was Jeffrey Epstein working for Israel? And I’m proud to say I don’t take money from AIPAC. I don’t take money from any special group...

The Republican Party should be a big tent, but that big tent shouldn’t include Democrats or Democrat collaborators. Members of our party, from weakness, malice, or delusions of moral superiority, have been betraying us left and right lately, with political mediocrities empowered by the fact that the margins are so close and the issues are so important that even the most ridiculous of these alleged Republicans can seize a moment of outsized power simply by sucking up to the regime media. Much of the focus lately has been on marginal twerps who aren’t even Republicans – that malignant rodent Nick...

Rep. Riley M. Moore.@RepRileyMoore Christians in Nigeria are murdered at a 5-to-1 rate compared to other religions. The U.S. will not turn a blind eye. Thank you, @POTUS, for designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. Our investigation is underway. More from my @FoxNewsSunday interview with @ShannonBream ⬇️ Nov 16, 2025

In this episode, Barbara Boyd explores whether Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have become inadvertent collaborators with British imperial interests. She argues that their criticism of Donald Trump's focus on foreign policy over domestic issues is misguided. Boyd delves into Trump's economic strategy, which she claims links foreign policy directly to domestic economic success, and she discusses the historical context of British manipulation of political movements. Additionally, she highlights recent initiatives by Trump to lower drug and agricultural prices and reform the defense industrial base. Boyd warns that undermining Trump's broad economic goals could serve the interests of globalist...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and fierce anti-Nazi, a man so dangerous to the Nazi movement that he was one of the last people they killed lest he taste liberation, was a man of extraordinary moral courage. For Tucker Carlson, however, he was a failed Christian for having dared to stand up to Hitler (and, probably, for having rescued Jews). One of the problems with being your own boss is that there’s no one around to stop you when you go too far. Another problem with being rich, famous, and your own boss is that the sycophants in your world...

I guess I haven’t been paying enough attention, at least not to the extent I thought. The other night, I was listening to talk-show host and attorney Mark Levin—his program that I don’t often catch. He was coming hard against some in this nation who are calling Christians and Jews in support of Israel evil, or at least ignorantly misdirected. Specifically, he was talking angrily against podcast host Tucker Carlson, former star of Fox News. Levin said Carlson and a guest on his podcast were saying they hated Christian and Jewish Zionists more than any others in the entire Israel-vs-its-enemies...

WOODSTOCK, ME — Political commentator Tucker Carlson sparked controversy this week when he welcomed Bigfoot onto his show to discuss how mind-controlling chemtrails are sprayed over the flat earth by the Jews. Viewers were shocked to learn that not only was Bigfoot real, but that the popular cryptid had been following conspiracy news for decades. Carlson nodded along with his guest, genuinely interested in what it had to say about Ben Shapiro. Bigfoot, who spoke with a series of unintelligible growls and whistles, was adamant that the Jews were behind the chemtrails and that it was all part of...

A demonstrator named “Jihad” who was at Monday’s chaotic protest against Turning Point USA at the University of California-Berkeley was charged with assault and robbery for an incident at the scene, according to cops. Jihad Dphrepaulezz, 25, allegedly snatched a chain necklace from an attendee, sparking a vicious fight that left him and the victim covered in blood — as “antifa thugs” clashed with Charlie Kirk supporters exactly two months after the TPUSA founder’s assassination.

There’s been a lot of conversation about Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes lately, but everyone should spare a thought for Candace Owens. On her eponymous podcast, Candace, the crackpot influencer has been conducting an “investigation” into what happened to Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University that is another symptom of how far off the rails a segment of the right-wing media ecosystem has gone. (Owens is too foolish even for Fuentes, who says she defines “low-IQ antisemitism,” although Carlson has her on his podcast for friendly interviews.) The Owens probe is about as serious and likely to bear fruit as...

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes: Muslims claim New York for Islam “We're done hiding. We're done. —This is the correct[sic]religion. This is the religion[sic] that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam, and we will not stop until it enters every home. — I wanna hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the ummah depends on this, my brothers and sisters — There is no God worthy of worship except Allah — and final pro_het[sic], Mohammed.”

The Heritage Foundation’s Halloween fiasco revealed less about antisemitism on the right than about the establishment’s renewed war on Trump’s populist movement.Is there anything left to say about the Heritage Foundation’s pre-Halloween melodrama? It was quite a scary show. I am confident that when Kevin Roberts, president of that venerable bastion of conservatism, got outside his morning egg on October 30, he had no inkling that his two-minute and thirty-nine-second video clip would precipitate a seismic detonation that would rock the foundation and monopolize the news cycle for days.The main purpose of the video, Roberts said, was to reaffirm that...

Kevin Roberts of 'Heritage Foundation' on Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes ScandalComplete Summary – October 27 to November 9, 2025Overview of the ScandalThe controversy began after Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on October 27, 2025, in a two-hour podcast that amassed over 17 million views on X. Carlson asked softball questions, nodded approvingly, and did not challenge Fuentes’ antisemitic remarks, praise for Hitler and Stalin, or claims about “organized Jewry” controlling U.S. politics. Carlson also accused pro-Israel American Christians of having a “brain virus” and being heretics.This triggered bipartisan outrage, with critics accusing Carlson of normalizing neo-Nazi...

Tucker Carlson has crossed the line, but is he taking conservatives with him?...

Conservative media pundits Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly sparred this week over an interview Tucker Carlson conducted with white nationalist Nick Fuentes — and other commentary Carlson has made on his online podcast. “If I see somebody breach basic moral values by having on a Nazi, in my own view, gloss the Nazi, then I’m going to speak out about that,” Shapiro told Kelly during a live event. “I’m going to point out that there is a long pattern of him ideologically laundering terrible ideas over the course of the last two years, ranging from traveling to Russia to sniff...

Donald Trump is often described as a “populist,” a “nationalist,” or as someone who sits outside the traditional ideological categories. However, when one examines his foreign policy closely, a different picture emerges. Trump is, in practice, a neoconservative. He is not a neoconservative in the sense we once knew: he does not cloak American interventions in the language of democracy promotion, human rights, or universal values…What makes him distinctive is not the substance of his policies, but the way he frames them, stripped of the moralizing tone. Oddly enough, this makes his foreign policy more transparent—and perhaps, in some ways,...

Dinesh D'Souza calls in to explain the danger of Tucker Carlson, who is driving a wedge between Christians and Jews, America and Israel, and the pillars of Western civilization, which harms Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party by inviting bigotries like anti-Semitism.
