President Donald Trump’s climbdown on Greenland capped one of the most erratic episodes involving a modern president on the world stage. Within hours Wednesday, Trump flipped from demanding “right, title, and ownership” of the semiautonomous Danish territory to celebrating an “infinite,” “forever” framework deal over its future. Outside the right-wing bubble, Trump is being mocked for another “TACO” (“Trump always chickens out”) moment after dropping the threat of tariffs on European nations until they agreed to give him Greenland. Just as with his “Liberation Day” tariffs, the president may have been spooked by the result of his own actions.

Tensions boiled over Tuesday night at a West Bank Business Association public safety meeting, where residents and Democratic politicians voiced fears that an upcoming “March Against Minnesota Fraud” could lead to harassment of Somali community members. The march, planned for Jan. 17 at Minneapolis City Hall, is organized by conservative influencer Jake Lang, who has been advertising the march on X. In a post, he called for “crusaders” to “take back” Minnesota from Democrats.

PHOENIX — For a second day in a row, a long-brewing internal fight among MAGA influencers spilled onto the stage of Turning Point USA's first annual conference since the September slaying of Charlie Kirk, the organization's co-founder.Podcaster Ben Shapiro, speaking on the AmericaFest convention's opening night Thursday, ripped into right-wing broadcasters Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly, as well as white nationalist Nick Fuentes.At the core of his argument is a case that Owens has peddled conspiracy theories, without objection from Kelly and other prominent conservatives, about Kirk's assassination. Those theories include suggestions that foreign governments —...

Members of the MAGA faithful gathered here Thursday to kick off Turning Point USA’s America Fest, the largest meeting for the organization since its founder, Charlie Kirk, was shot to death on a Utah college campus in September. Despite that somber backdrop, the event quickly devolved into a spectacle of MAGA infighting.

Elon Musk’s X recently rolled out a new feature that shows the location that accounts operate from. Many anonymous accounts claiming to be MAGA yet pushing division in the conservative movement have been exposed as operating from India, Pakistan, and other nations. Popular influencers with known identities are pointing out foreign fakers, most of which who have claimed to be Americans for years.Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) recently rolled out a new feature for user profiles that displays more information about accounts, including which country or region they are based in.Now, X users can go to an account’s profile...

X just revealed the location of every user on the platform, triggering chaos among foreign rage farmers and slop peddlers — the massive ranks of which have shaped our culture now for yearsTwilight of the Pakistani rage farmer. Friday night, X released a long-requested profile update revealing the location of users, including anonymous users. A few glorious hours following that initial and immediately legendary release, the feature was temporarily shut down, as the American commentariat erupted in Surprised Pikachu shock at the revelation much of our domestic online discourse is shaped by catfishing rage farmers from the third world, the...

Trump Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sparked a wave of anger on the MAGA right this week when she boasted on Fox News that the administration had “sped up” the legal immigration process.

President Donald Trump defended the visas.... saying America does not have enough “talented” workers to meet its needs. .... “Now, we’re going to keep using our visa programs.

The internal conflict over the future of the MAGA movement is described as a generational divide: On one side are the boomers, the Republican Party’s old guard that attached itself to Donald Trump’s winning agenda, and on the other side are the Zoomers, the rising generation of conservatives angry that, in their view, the president has betrayed his own movement. The split is anything but organic. Rather, it’s the intended result of a campaign waged by a revisionist faction determined to seize control of MAGA, and the Republican Party, by erasing Trump. The fight has been simmering on social media...

Her recent appearances on Bill Maher, The View, and CNN are clear indicators Greene wants to win over anti-Trump Americans. Greene has been increasingly critical of her own party. MTG bashed Republicans for not having a “plan” to replace Obamacare, which she said made her “angry.”

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

Megyn Kelly issued a dire warning to her fellow Republicans following the party's major losses on Election Day Tuesday. After Democrats scored big wins in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City, the former Fox News star fumed on her SiriusXM show that 'Republicans don't know how to win' without Donald Trump. 'The Republican party needs to get its s**t together ASAP,' Kelly said, chiding conservatives for pushing back against a recent Politico report surrounding a leaked Young Republicans' group chat that contained racist messages instead of focusing on the elections 'I'm really glad that the Republicans devoted so much...

The backlash against FBI Director Kash Patel over the bungled search for Charlie Kirk's assassin has intensified as it emerged he went on an expletive-laden rant against his staff over the failures. Patel came under fresh fire after it emerged that suspect Tyler Robinson had finally been arrested for the alleged murder of Kirk, 31, after being turned in by his own family. Robinson's arrest Thursday night came after a 33-hour manhunt in which two other men were wrongfully detained. The mix-up led Patel to incorrectly announce that investigators had someone in custody on Wednesday before he was forced to...

@gc22gc BANNON: The only way we win is to tell them nothing else happens until we take Epstein on. If we don’t take down the deep state in this term, it’s over. This is America’s last chance.

War-weary Americans are worried their country is about to be dragged into another Middle East quagmire. Their concern is well founded. The United States military is already helping Israel shoot down Iranian missiles and moving more military assets into the region. MAGA support for President Donald Trump has remained consistent and bulletproof so far. But war with Iran may prove a red line for the president’s most loyal cohort. “I can tell you right now, our MAGA base does not want war,” MAGA influencer and founder of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk said Friday during a segment of his popular...

News broke late Thursday of a massive Israeli strike that killed several top Iranian military leaders and targeted key facilities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio scrambled to clarify the U.S. position, insisting the attack was a unilateral move by Israel and that America had no direct involvement. But Trump was already on the phone with a handpicked group of journalists, offering a very different message. He praised the strikes as “excellent,” made clear the U.S. had foreknowledge, and didn’t bother with diplomatic ambiguity. The U.S. didn’t pull the trigger — but Trump was riding shotgun, playing the eager sidekick without...

Civil war has broken out within the MAGA Republicans. On the one side are the traditional MAGAs, who tend to be White, anti-immigrant, and less educated than the rest of the United States. They believe that the modern government’s protection of equal rights for women and minorities has ruined America, and they tend to want to isolate the U.S. from the rest of the world. They make up Trump’s voting base

Two of former president Donald Trump’s most prominent backers in the right wing influencer sphere fretted Wednesday after early voting numbers showed massive early turnout among women that could imperil their candidate’s path to victory. “Male turnout in Pennsylvania for Trump has been a disaster,” tweeted Mike Cernovich on Wednesday. “Unless this changes, Kamala Harris takes PA and it’s over.” Cernovich is a longtime far right gadfly and commentator with a massive online following. He’s been around long enough to have played a role in the anti-feminist Gamergate harassment campaign and to have helped spread the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, though...
