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,...

Several applicants nominated Jared Taylor as an influence on their thought. Taylor is a prominent white nationalist, and the founder of the American Renaissance website, journal, and annual conference. For decades, Taylor has denied that he is a white supremacist

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...

After the Heritage Foundation defended Carlson’s interview, internal messages at the conservative think tank showed staffers were outraged by the decision. One employee wrote, “Talking with some of the interns I think there are a growing number of them who actually agree [with him].” Conservative writer Rod Dreher corroborated on his Substack, “I am told by someone in a position to know that something like 30 to 40 percent of DC GOP staffers under the age of 30 are Groypers.” While Republican politicians like JD Vance and Ted Cruz have distanced themselves from the podcaster, his influence with the next...

Discover the shocking secret map President Truman found in FDR's desk that revealed Roosevelt knew about Nazi concentration camps since 1942 but refused to bomb them. Learn the disturbing truth about the railway lines to Auschwitz that could have been destroyed, the tens of thousands of lives that might have been saved, and the sick political calculations behind Roosevelt's decision. This is the hidden Holocaust document that changed how Truman viewed his predecessor forever and shaped America's approach to humanitarian crises. Explore the moral failure FDR tried to hide and why Truman sealed these documents for decades.

President Donald Trump’s call for House Republicans to support releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related documents was a stunning capitulation after a months-long campaign to block the vote. It was also a specific defeat for Trump at the hands of a despised GOP opponent: Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. “He got tired of me winning,” Massie said of Trump’s U-turn in an interview Monday morning. Insisting “I DON’T CARE!” in a late-night Truth Social post, Trump was bowing to the inevitable — a broad House Republican mutiny on a vote that was only scheduled because Massie forced it. It was the result of...

@ShadowofEzra Thomas Massie breaks down how Jeffrey Epstein built a system designed to trap underage girls and shut them up. He says Epstein would lure girls as young as 14 with quick-cash “massage” offers, only for it to turn sexual, and then he’d use shame and fear to keep them coming back on command. Girls were pushed into recruiting another girl just to escape the abuse, locking them into a cycle that left them feeling guilty, responsible, and scared to ever speak. Once they hit the age of consent, Epstein handed them off to powerful, wealthy men, who could bury...

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...

@RepThomasMassie 🏆 In spite of a last ditch effort by the President to foil the motion, and @SpeakerJohnson’s propaganda, the discharge petition I have been leading just succeeded! In December, the entire House of Representatives will vote on releasing the Epstein files.

@RandPaul Tonight the process of opening the govt begins, less chaos is a good thing but hidden deep in the swamp speak of the Republican bill will be a waiver of PAYGO the long-standing law requiring new spending to be offset with cuts. And so it goes, a trillion here a trillion there. $38 trillion in debt and counting. A depressing outcome

Dinesh is relentlessly attacking Tucker Carlson for not being more critical of Nick Fuentes during their interview, but here’s a clip of @DineshDSouza heaping praise on @NickJFuentes after their debate on Infowars ~ a month ago. Why the sudden hypocrisy and double standard?D'Souza to Fuentes in the video: "I commend you. I don't think I've met too many 26-year olds with kind of confidence and background knowledge you have. So, it's been a pleasure for me to engage with you."

What Everyone Misses About Nick FuentesThe racialist influencer represents a spectacle that demands cool analysis rather than emotional reaction.The racialist influencer Nick Fuentes has caused an uproar with his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast. Fuentes, a 27-year-old live-streamer, has built a reputation as the most controversial voice on the right. He’s embraced seemingly every taboo: praising Hitler, disputing the Holocaust’s death toll, calling himself a “white nationalist,” musing about domestic violence, and opposing interracial marriage.Carlson’s invitation has divided conservatives. Some suggest that Fuentes’s appearance on the podcast represented an unacceptable mainstreaming of his views. Others, most notably Heritage Foundation president...

Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated in September, and Nick Fuentes, the young Hitler-loving white nationalist at the center of a growing schism on the right, were bitter enemies. Fuentes despised Kirk for his support of Israel, and, more broadly, for his efforts to marginalize Fuentes’s gleefully racist and fascist brand of politics. In 2019, seeking to expose Kirk as “anti-white” and a “fake patriot,” Fuentes organized his army of young fans — known as Groypers, after a variant on the alt-right Pepe the Frog meme — to flood events held by Kirk’s organization, Turning Point, and ask...

Nick Fuentes hit the jackpot. The white-nationalist influencer made it on the “Tucker Carlson Show,” the nation’s foremost vehicle for laundering noxious ideas into the conservative mainstream. Fuentes is a Holocaust denier and self-avowed racist whose goal is to remake the right in his image. Carlson, who prides himself on asking the supposedly telling questions when it comes to promoting any number of conspiracy theories, couldn’t really bring himself to ask any of Fuentes. Instead, he gave the 27-year-old Nazi sympathizer a tongue bath and said at one point of the Fuentes ideological project, “I guess you won.” This was...

A defense attorney in Michigan is pushing back on the FBI’s allegations that his client and a group of young men arrested Friday were planning to carry out a violent attack over the Halloween weekend. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests of multiple people Friday who he said were plotting a “potential terrorist attack.” He said more details would be forthcoming. Amir Makled, the lawyer for a Dearborn, Mich., man who was still detained Saturday, said he hasn’t gotten many details about the case, but he told The Associated Press that, after reviewing the matter, he doesn’t expect any...

Conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro blasted Tucker Carlson on Monday, calling him “the most virulent super-spreader of vile ideas in America.” In an episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show” released Monday, Shapiro criticized Carlson’s podcast episode with Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes, saying Carlson failed to push back on Fuentes’ bigotry. “The issue here isn’t that Tucker Carlson had Nick Fuentes on his show last week. He has every right to do that, of course,” Shapiro said. “The issue here is that Tucker Carlson decided to normalize and fluff Nick Fuentes and that the Heritage Foundation then decided to robustly defend that performance.”...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

MAGA Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) had harsh words for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson while discussing anti-Semitism in the GOP before an audience with the American Jewish Coalition on Saturday. Carlson recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes on his podcast, drawing rebukes from Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). “It is easy to talk about anti-Semitism on the left,” Fine said. “I want to talk about the dark force rising on our side. Multiple speakers have talked about the rise of anti-Semitism on the right, but it is not enough to speak in platitudes...

Remember Marjorie Taylor Greene going off the rails during one of Biden's State of the Union addresses? Well, maybe her appearance on Bill Maher's show Friday night was super appropriate for Halloween, because it looks like that version is the ghost of the past. MTG joined Bill on 'Real Time,' and she came off incredibly reasonable and not a party hack. She talked about splitting with Trump on a variety of issues, including releasing the Epstein files, healthcare, opening the government, and pouring money into foreign aid -- especially to Argentina -- while 42 million Americans don't know where they'll...
