Gen Z right-wing influencers like Nick Fuentes have suggested they may not support Vice President JD Vance if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee in 2028 and have praised California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat. Why It Matters The 2028 election is years away, but talk about who could run for higher office has already begun. Vance is viewed as the frontrunner on the Republican side. The Democratic primary is likely to be more competitive if current polling stands, and Newsom is viewed as a leading candidate. He has cast himself as a staunch rival of the Trump administration. The...

Owens, Gaines and Fuentes, blinded by shared antisemitism, forget Hitler would have viewed them as Untermenschen, unworthy of life. They'd be statistics in the death camps, not allies. Adolf Hitler would be turning in his grave if he could see that loudest cheerleaders aren't the blond, blue-eyed Übermenschen he dreamed of, but a motley crew of Islamic extremists, Mexican nationalists, Black conservatives, and mixed-race provocateurs

White supremacist and MAGA influencer Nick Fuentes went all in over the weekend on supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) over Vice President JD Vance because Newsom is more “handsome.” Fuentes, who has regularly attacked Vance in the past, calling him childish names like “gay” and “fat,” posted to social media on Sunday: “Physiognomy is real. Post physique, its handsome thursday. I only believe in beauty and aesthetics!!” JD Vance = fat subhuman. Newsom mogs him to death I would vote for him 100x over just because he’s handsome. “NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!! YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAn!!”...

A fringe white nationalist is generating millions of views of anti-Indian content. Research reveals 61% of his engagement comes from bot farms in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Russia. There is a particular moment in every demagogue’s career when rhetoric turns into a project. Not the early period of noisy adolescence, when insult functions merely as theatre, or even the intermediate stage when vitriol becomes an organising principle. No, the moment that matters is when hatred acquires a constituency, when contempt ceases to be performance and instead aspires to become politics. Nick Fuentes has arrived at that moment. For years, Fuentes existed...

I don’t know what you did on Friday night, but I spent about 90 minutes in the vice president’s study with him and the men you see above, talking geopolitics, Hungary, and the survival of Christianity in Europe, among other things. Of course I can’t be indiscreet about the discussion, but it was rich and vigorous. I’m really glad that JD got to experience the actual, living Viktor Orban in person, and to see for himself how wrong the propaganda is. They got on very, very well. I was able to have a few minutes with the vice president before...

Kevin Roberts of 'Heritage Foundation' on Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes ScandalComplete Summary – October 27 to November 9, 2025Overview of the ScandalThe controversy began after Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on October 27, 2025, in a two-hour podcast that amassed over 17 million views on X. Carlson asked softball questions, nodded approvingly, and did not challenge Fuentes’ antisemitic remarks, praise for Hitler and Stalin, or claims about “organized Jewry” controlling U.S. politics. Carlson also accused pro-Israel American Christians of having a “brain virus” and being heretics.This triggered bipartisan outrage, with critics accusing Carlson of normalizing neo-Nazi...

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...

The White House has condemned former US President Donald Trump for meeting at his Florida estate with renowned white supremacist Nick Fuentes and with rapper Kanye West, who was recently embroiled in antisemitic controversy. “Bigotry, hate, and antisemitism have absolutely no place in America - including at Mar-A-Lago. Holocaust denial is repugnant and dangerous, and it must be forcefully condemned,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to CNN. According to media reports, Fuentes and West were seen dining with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday, when West said he had asked the former president to be...

President Biden said the United States is “rallying the world to stand with Ukraine” and pledged to support the cause “as long as it takes.” U.S. officials have downplayed the (Russian} gains, calling them halting and incremental. The scrutiny is fueled by U.S. government assessments of other wars, notably in Afghanistan, where officials habitually glossed over widespread dysfunction and corruption and sidestepped questions of whether battlefield successes were not only achievable but sustainable. A Ukrainian lawmaker shared similar concerns. “We are losing the most valuable thing, our soldiers and officers.” Benjamin Friedman, a policy director at Defense Priorities, said that...

One of the main drivers of notions like systemic racism has been the ban on public discussions of IQ. A psychometrician published some results in 1970 that caused an uproar in an early manifestation of cancel culture. Charles Taylor and Richard J. Herrnstein in The Bell Curve, published in 1994, point out that the connection between IQ and success or the lack of success is indisputable at this point. In the social sciences, there can be one study that suggests one thing, and another one that contradicts it. But, the effects of IQ on lifetime achievement is not like that....
