-snip- It was not the first time that Carlson, the 53 year old heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune, had challenged American support for Ukraine’s wartime leader. On the first episode of his online program following his firing from Fox News, Carlson described Zelensky, who is Jewish, as “sweaty and rat-like, a comedian turned oligarch, a persecutor of Christians, a friend of Blackrock.” He also referred to him as “shifty,” “dead-eyed,” and as “a person who would enjoy flooding villages or starting a famine.” “It’s painful to even quote that,” said Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia group, in a...

Former CNN host Don Lemon turned heads after revealing that he now watches conservative news, adding that he “cut the cord” on mainstream media outlets. Nearly nine months after his departure from the left-leaning network, Lemon sat for an interview with Puck News for the outlet’s third annual “Guide to Mirth & Merriment.” Lemon, alongside fellow guests Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Waithe, Mickey Drexler, Risa Heller, and Jeffrey Leeds, provided his recommended content in the form of podcasts and shows. Lemon told Puck, that he has “cut the cord” and in a surprising turn, at least two of his favorite content...

The ideological sewer known as social media was alight this week with the latest escalation in a feud that has been brewing for months, if not years: the Candace Owens versus Ben Shapiro showdown. This particular chapter began after Shapiro was recorded describing Owens’s weeks of “faux sophistication” regarding the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 as “disgraceful.” Owens apparently then cracked open Google and frantically copied and pasted a verse from Matthew that ends with, “You cannot serve both God and money,” to which Shapiro responded , “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow...

There’s some real anger spilling over at the Daily Wire this week but I think it’s fair to say this has been building up for a while now. Ben Shapiro, the co-founder of the Daily Wire, has obviously been one of the most outspoken defenders on Israel online. Candace Owens works there as one of their most prominent voices but she’s taken a very different view. For instance, she has argued that the charge of anti-Semitism has been “weaponized” to silence people.

We all laughed as the Democrats looked like they were going to split their party in half over the Israeli-Palestinian war. It was almost farcical watching liberal leaders take a stance that at times looked to favor the Hamas terrorists. Nothing on that level is happening with Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro, yet it’s threatening to tear a fissure in our conservative movement heading into the 2024 election. We can’t afford the infighting. As much as Shapiro brands himself as a man of “facts and logic,” he opened with a line of personal attack rather than countering her points, calling...

If a poll asked young conservative Christian men to identify a culturally significant figure that they admire, Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro would undoubtedly be near the top of the list. With Shapiro as its figurehead in the last eight years, the Daily Wire has grown from a small, relatively insignificant niche conservative news outlet to one of the fastest-growing media companies in the United States, boasting more than $100 million annually in revenue and 200+ employees. If one had a conversation with Ben about his wealth and success, Shapiro would undoubtedly punctuate the conversation with the statement, “and did...

Ben Shapiro recently appeared at Oxford University and gave a masterclass on how to handle the talking points being used to ultimately prop up Hamas, wittingly or not, by those claiming to support the Palestinian position.In one striking exchange, a woman in a hijab stepped up to the podium to read off a list of accusations about what Israel has supposedly done in its attempt to take out Hamas. She quickly found that she had painted herself into a corner, though.This was a pretty epic exchange with @benshapiro at the Oxford Union."If Israel put down its guns tomorrow there would...

Woe to the person who tries to go up against Ben Shapiro in a public debate. You may get an A for courage, but you kind of get an F for lack of sound judgment. Shapiro is famous for obliterating ill-informed and ill-prepared opponents in public forums, and he will take on all comers. Last night was no different. At Oxford University, Shapiro was speaking at the Oxford Union (an event that, like most university appearances by Shapiro, was protested because the esteemed students at Oxford are triggered by free speech) and spoke about several topics, but obviously, the war...

@ggreenwald On Monday night, Tucker Carlson argued that while all decent people view Hamas' massacre of civilians with revulsion (and only the most marginalized people have praised it), this is not an American war, but an Israeli war. Ben Shapiro responded here to that argument

Listened to him for a half hour, total swamp creature

We are just six months away from the projected release date of The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection. Jim Caviezel said it will be the “biggest film in history.” And a columnist for The Washington Times recently highlighted Christ’s resurrection with this candid headline: “The Most Important News Story in Human History.”Ben Shapiro is a political commentator and an Orthodox Jew. William Lane Craig is a Christian apologist. The two men sat down a few years ago and discussed the resurrection of Jesus Christ.Dr. Craig presented “three great independently established facts which are supported by the historical evidence ... After...

This weekend the big Barbie movie opens and it’s getting a pretty good critical reception. Metacritic gives it an 80/100. It’s 90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. But honestly, I would be pretty shocked if the movie was even slightly ‘for me.’ The moment I heard they were making this movie, I thought that there was very little chance that this would be a movie I would like. Which is fine. Not everyone likes the same things and there’s nothing wrong with it. Life would be boring if we all liked the same things. So as long as there is no...

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Has the LGBTQ+ et al movement hit a ceiling — and has it sowed the seeds of its decline? For the first time since Gallup began polling on the question of same-sex relationships, American public approval of their morality suffered a statistically significant decline, falling seven points to its lowest level in four years. And while that decline has a strong partisan flavor, it’s also falling among its traditional allies.First, the overall results show a sharp drop in support in the overall population:Americans’ views about the morality of a number of behaviors and practices are...

In his recent show, “The White House vs. Tucker Carlson,” Ben Shapiro worries that Republicans may be overplaying their hands by appearing to the media as in solidarity with January 6 defendants still imprisoned. To Shapiro, incentives among some Republicans threaten to become “misaligned” as a result of the footage Tucker Carlson released from January 6; the anger from many in the base who feel they’ve been directly and repeatedly lied to, which Shapiro empathizes with, is politically dangerous insofar as it risks making the 2024 election an referendum on January 6. He singles out, for example, Marjorie Taylor Greene,...

Rush Limbaugh's death two years ago this week left a void in conservative media that younger, more versatile contenders are still trying to fill. Why it matters: Today, no one radio host commands the same level of power and influence that Limbaugh did, but a number of new voices are emerging — blending the reach of traditional and digital platforms — and collectively proving to be more powerful in shaping conservative opinion for younger audiences. "The world is changing and there are questions as to how Limbaugh, had he lived and remained healthy — based upon his mindset and his...

Mark Dice explains this issue. Well worth the 13 minutes it takes to listen.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the Biden administration mulling a ban on gas stoves. You know, because regular Americans shouldn’t be allowed to have nice things like cooking appliances that allow for more even cooking and more effective cooking and more efficient cooking and just an all-around better cooking experience. And if regular Americans are allowed to have gas stoves, they’ll get stupider. Bet you didn’t know that, did you? Probably because you’ve been spending too much time around that gas stove and have suffered reduced cognitive performance as a result. Here, let AOC explain it to you: Did...
