“The Real History of Slavery” by Matt Walsh (Dropped Feb 18, 2026 – 1.5–2 hours of straight fire) 🔥 THE MAIN RED PILL (in one sentence) Slavery wasn’t America’s “unique sin.” It was humanity’s default setting for thousands of years — every race, every continent did it on a massive scale. America got the tiny scraps… then helped end it. 📊 THE NUMBERS THAT BLOW UP THE LIE • Africans shipped across the Atlantic: ~12.5 million • Only 3% (≈ 472,000) ever landed in what became the USA • Most went to Brazil (5.4 million) and Caribbean sugar hellholes 🩸...

The last week has been kind to its newly-innaugurated democratic-socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. A massive blizzard left mountains of snow in the streets, more than a dozen homeless inhabitants froze to death, and rats are feasting on uncollected garbage piled up everywhere except right outside his Gracie Mansion residence. "I'm new to the job," the Mayor reminded everyone. "I know the burdens will get heavier, but right now I struggle to imagine how it could be better." Hmm, maybe haul away the garbage and snow plow the streets? Could that make things better?

“Wokeness” is often seen as the product of radical Marxism imported to America from Europe. In fact, “woke” is a capitalist phenomenon that emerged in the U.S., which exported it to the vassals of its empire. The least woke places in Europe are represented by the former Soviet bloc; the most woke places are those most closely tied to the U.S., such as the UK and Germany, which is still under military occupation. All the woke prerequisites—mass immigration, feminism, equality laws, etc.—are the inevitable fruits of capitalism. It pretends to make individuals “sovereign” after drawing them into the labor pool,...

The No. 1 job of a mayor, above everything else, is to keep his or her city functioning. Yet with people dying on the cold streets of New York and trash building up in parts of the city, New York is by no means functioning. Not even close. The snow and frigid temps have tested Gotham’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani and, alas, he has not risen to the occasion. Rather, he’s left the city a mess. Everest-size mountains of garbage have popped up. Unremoved snow, ice and road salt have damaged Con Edison electrical equipment, contributing to power outages. Most...

First a foot of snow, then the plowed-in cars, and now frustrated New Yorkers are furious over mountains of trash piling up on city streets, as collection has been reduced by January’s massive winter storm. A reporter from the New York Post took in the “unsavory sights” of the aftermath and documented heaps of garbage bags and cardboard boxes littering the sidewalks as the Department of Sanitation was still playing catch-up in several neighborhoods since the winter onslaught. Garbage is not the only problem, as snowplows have tended to deposit high banks of the white stuff against cars parked along...

Eight-foot piles of rat-infested trash are choking the streets around Gracie Mansion — which has gotten white-glove shoveling treatment as Mayor Zohran Mamdani crows he can’t “imagine how it could get better’’ in the city. While Hizzoner’s Upper East Side neighbors are forced to trudge through garbage-plagued roads, roaming rodents and mounds of snow tainted with dog pee a full week after Winter Storm Fern, the sidewalks outside the lefty mayor’s digs on East 88th Street are squeaky clean. “Clean as a whistle for the mayor,” Rivers said. “Look at this side.” “This side” is marred by massive piles of...

Video Transcript Russia, and prepare yourselves because this is the global headline, Russia is actively considering the use of nuclear weapons against Europe. Not against Kiev, against Europe. Specifically, the UK and Germany. Just taking out the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. That's a fact. Now, we're going to explain why we know that that's true in a moment. And at the end of this open, we're going to play an interview we did a few hours ago with a man called Sergei Karnagov, who is a longtime political advisor to Vladimir Putin and one of the most famous...

Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis poet, wife and mother, was shot and killed Wednesday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, setting off nationwide protests over the officer’s actions and the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

“I’m not going [up] to a Christian to tell him ‘I hate you’… but that does not deny the fact I do.” Should foreign nationals who hate America be allowed to come here and be allowed to stay here? Should they be able to set up institutions to preach their hatred for Americans? The North Miami Islamic Center, aka ‘Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah Miami’, which claims to be “one of the largest Islamic Centers in the state of Florida” made headlines before when Imam Fadi Yousef Kablawi called for the destruction of the Jews. Among his supplications at the...

President Donald Trump has bestowed upon the nation of Qatar a remarkable security guarantee that could include coming to its defense militarily. In an executive order dated earlier this week, Trump declared that the United States will regard any attack on Qatar’s territory, sovereignty or critical infrastructure “as a threat to the peace and security of the United States” itself. And perhaps most crucially, the order suggests the US might come to Qatar’s defense militarily.

Asocial media post made by Stephen King about Charlie Kirk's shooting has sparked a backlash. Bestselling author King triggered outrage after he called the death of Kirk, 31, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday during a question-and-answer session on campus "another example of American gun violence."

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten marveled on Friday at how the Democratic Party has not only failed to find a new leader, but continues to disappoint voters. CNN News Central host Kate Bolduan spoke about former Vice President Kamala Harris breaking her recent silence by speaking in a lengthy interview with late-night host Stephen Colbert, Thursday. Bolduan observed that Harris spoke about her choice not to run for the governorship of California and left the door open for another presidential run in 2028. But Enten argued the Democrats’ search for a new leader is long from over, suggesting...
