Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) slammed President Trump on Monday over the president’s remarks about the killings of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Reiner, a well-known Democratic donor and activist who had criticized Trump, and his wife were found dead in their home on Sunday in a suspected homicide. “Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid,” Massie wrote on the social platform X. “I...

It appears white nationalist media figure Nick Fuentes isn’t quite as popular as his supporters would have us believe.While the media pretends that the young bigot is the new avatar for the right, the numbers tell a different story. To sum it up, Fuentes' popularity is about as real as Jasmine Crockett's chances of winning Texas' Senate race. The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) dropped a report on Monday showing that Fuentes’ recent surge in popularity did not come from organic grassroots support, but a coordinated campaign among his followers, foreign engagement farms, anonymous bot networks, and targeted “raid” tactics...

Is Britain’s upstart Reform party really as committed to free speech as they would have us believe? Tucker Carlson was meant to converse with leader Nigel Farage on his trip to London last week. But, Cockburn hears, Farage pulled out after the stateside controversy about Carlson’s recent choice to chat with “groyper” leader and bête noire Nick Fuentes. Who knew the leading light of the British right would be so sensitive about “platforming?” Top Farage advisor James Orr, who also serves as an Anglo-whisperer for Vice President J.D. Vance, made excuses on Reform’s behalf. “It’s the donors and consultants, always,”...

I'm glad to hear you dug up your Constitution, Joe. I can't find ours.Franklin Roosevelt: The War President Masked as SaviorThe Myth of Economic Redemption From the perspective of John T. Flynn’s The Roosevelt Myth, the 32nd presidential administration under Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not the enlightened, benevolent era of national salvation portrayed by official hagiographers and establishment historians. Instead, it was marked by political opportunism, economic failure, and ultimately, a deliberate march toward war as a means of salvaging Roosevelt’s collapsing domestic credibility. (Prior to his time in the leadup to the 1933 Presidential campaign as an FDR supporter,...

"Meaningful action must accompany any apology," wrote Pearce, who is now stepping away from social mediaGuy Pearce has apologised for sharing “misinformation and falsehoods” about Israel on social media whilst publicly voicing support for Palestine. “It has been brought to my attention that, in my support of Palestine, I have inadvertently re-posted articles, and/or statements, that have contained misinformation and falsehoods,” Pearce told Jewish News, per Variety. “I am aware how sharing inaccurate content can cause confusion and distress; for this I am deeply sorry. I will certainly endeavour to be more diligent in future to verify anything I share...

@RepThomasMassie Republicans campaigned on reducing spending, but after the election almost all Congressmen voted to spend hundreds of billions more in 2025 and 2026 than in 2024.

Pope Leo XIV called a two-state arrangement the “only solution” to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, doubling down on the Holy See’s longstanding position in his first airborne news conference en route to Lebanon on Sunday. “We all know that at this time Israel still does not accept that solution, but we see it as the only solution,” he said, as he flew from Istanbul to Beirut for the second and final leg of his maiden voyage as pope. “We are also friends with Israel, and we are seeking to be a mediating voice between the two parties that might help...

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tucker Carlson’s decision to interview white supremacist Nick Fuentes on his podcast last month was a “big mistake.” “He has a lot of listeners, and I think giving Nick Fuentes that platform is a big mistake,” the Louisiana Republican told The Hill in an interview published Tuesday. Johnson said that he had not listened to Fuentes before but that he “sort of knew” who the far-right provocateur is. After listening to a compilation of some of the “worst things” Fuentes has said, Johnson called it “vile, terrible stuff.” “I mean, it’s not just antisemitic, it’s...
