Popular conservative creator Matt Walsh called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be fired immediately after she said businesses must allow fans of Charlie Kirk to print posters in honor of the slain Turning Point USA founder. Walsh said that comment, to go along with Bondi’s recent statement on targeting “hate speech” against Kirk, as well as her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, make it clear President Donald Trump needs to fire her. “Get rid of her. Today. This is insane,” Walsh posted on X on Tuesday, in response to a clip of Bondi talking about companies not being...

Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh stood firm in their defense of free speech and conservative values after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even as some unhinged leftists called for more political commentators to be targeted. Shapiro and Walsh dedicated their shows on Thursday to honoring the legacy of Kirk, who was killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. During their shows, both Shapiro and Walsh also told their followers that despite concerns of more violence against conservatives, they would never back down and continue to stand “up for what America is and what...

A slew of deranged users on Bluesky sent a barrage of threats to prominent Republicans and outspoken media personalities immediately after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated Wednesday. Posters called for Tesla tycoon Elon Musk, conservative podcasters Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, as well as “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, to be “next” in the hours after Kirk, 31, was pronounced dead, according to screenshots shared by one user. Some brazen accounts called for outright violence, including one who wrote, “I hope they shoot Ben Shapiro next,” while another compared the violence to a “game of whack a...

Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk's murder - with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he 'deserved' his fate. Mr Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump's ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties.

luesky has issued a warning to users after some accounts celebrated the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. "Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we're committed to fostering healthy, open conversations," the social media platform wrote in a post. Kirk, 31, was the founder of the right-leaning youth organization Turning Point USA and a longtime ally of President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, as Kirk delivered a speech under a tent to a large crowd at Utah...

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐄 Remember how the Left freaked out when Elon Musk bought Twitter? They swore it would become a “haven for hate” if free speech wasn’t tightly censored.

In a bonkers, incredibly irresponsible speech given in the wake of news that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to his city to crack down on illegal immigration and thousands of National Guard troops could be deployed to crack down on crime, as is currently ongoing in DC, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to rise up and defend itself against President Trump. As background, the fury from Johnson began with President Trump, commenting on the situation in DC and where will be next, saying, “To me, D.C. is very exciting and a lot of people say, ‘Whoa,...

I spend a lot of time talking about how western civilization – in particular as driven by the United States – is easily the greatest that mankind has yet created. If one looks at it objectively, it’s not even close. The list of things that are part of the everyday life of people around the world is basically a list of things that were invented or developed in the west. From cars to planes to advanced agriculture to elevators to plastic and mobile phones and computers and DNA and much, much more. But every now and then something happens that...

We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. 9:40 AM · Jun 25, 2025 · 277.4K Views

In April 2025, Tucker Carlson invited Matt Walsh onto his podcast. The conversation covered everything from same-sex adoption and surrogacy to foreign policy isolationism. It is well worth listening to. But beyond the substance of the conversation, there was simply something powerful about a discussion between two men with such influence on the American Right—each man has an audience of several million subscribers on YouTube alone. In the age of digital media, each man far surpasses the reach of any legacy-news media personality. Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson could be fairly described as two of the most influential men in...

At the moment, as a particularly depressing and financially insolvent “Pride Month” continues to trudge along, there is no greater illustration of this phenomenon than the so-called LGBT movement. These activists understand that they’ve been discredited. All of their narratives about alleged hate crimes — from Matthew Shepard onward — have collapsed under the slightest scrutiny. All of their claims about not having “equal rights” and “just wanting to live their own lives without bothering anyone” have fallen apart as well. That’s why “Pride Month” is dying. And in response, rather than engage in any introspection, LGBT activists have predictably...

Newsdump Update: Labor Party Wins Australian Election By A Wide Margin... C.S. Lewis wrote a commentary back in 1948 that published as part of a book called "Arthurian Torso" here is a portion of that.

"All children deserve to grow up healthy and whole," a flyer for the event stated. "All parents deserve to make informed decisions to protect their children, without emotional blackmail by physicians blindsided by ideology." The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case out of Tennessee regarding child sex changes. Outside the Washington, DC high court, detransitioners and others will speak out against the practice at an event called the Do No Harm rally. The rally will be hosted by Do No Harm, a nonprofit run by medical professionals who oppose child sex changes, to "stand up for...

Matt Walsh reveals unreported facts about the alleged rape by Pete Hegseth. The video is 21 mins long. Let’s Talk About The Facts Of The Pete Hegseth Allegations (Matt Walsh)

I am a very big fan of the podcasters at the Daily Wire: Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan. I don’t agree with them on everything, but I enjoy their intelligent takes and humor. They and I agree that JD Vance did a wonderful job during the vice-presidential debate, but they all missed how well he did on the abortion issue.When Walz was asked about abortion, he launched easily into the shtick that it’s all about women’s healthcare while boasting about what a wonderful state Minnesota is for abortion. He had to lie, of course, about the...

Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh released his bitingly comedic documentary, Am I Racist?, in early September to great acclaim, vexxing film critics and industry insiders who see themselves as the exclusive gatekeepers of the silver screen.The movie’s surprise success—even while facing vicious left-wing attacks—stood in stark contrast with the failure of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, a sci-fi political drama with an anti-Trump political subtext that opened over the weekend with neither critical nor audience acclaim—despite its bloated budget, all-star cast and abundance of Hollywood hype.This pattern may signal a shifting trend in consumer sensibilities. Prior conservative-friendly films, such as Angel...

In the mockumentary, Matt Walsh is concerned that he is racist. Awkward moments follow. The movie’s conceit is that Walsh is concerned he is racist and trying to “do the work.” (This column will contain spoilers, starting with: He is not sincere.) In a deadpan parody of a self-flagellating White progressive, often wearing a ridiculously obvious wig, he interviews diversity experts, attends antiracist events and eventually sets up his own diversity workshop. Unsurprisingly, many of his targets are painted as grifters, demagogues or well-meaning morons. Interspersed are more sympathetic figures, White and Black, trying to convince this caricature that race...

Robin DiAngelo is a grifter who has made millions off a hateful book titled White Fragility. She is one of the left-wing “anti-racists” who were interviewed by Matt Walsh in the Daily Wire film Am I Racist?, which opened yesterday and which I reviewed at the link.Walsh’s interview of DiAngelo is one of the film’s highlights. She has no idea who Walsh is, and he introduces himself as “Matt.” You can’t be too careful these days, she says. The high point of the interview is when they talk about reparations, which DiAngelo favors. It happens that a member of the...

Last week, I gave high praise to Reagan, the new movie looking at the life of America’s greatest Cold Warrior. It was a heartfelt, meticulous look at Reagan’s fundamental decency and love for America. Today, I’m giving high praise to Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist?, a new movie looking at the race hustling industry. It is a hysterically funny, pointed, and appropriately vicious look at people, both black and white, who deliberately promote racial discord for power and huge profits.The movie’s premise is a simple one: Matt Walsh embarks upon a journey to discover whether he is a racist and,...

Conservative commentator and filmmaker Matt Walsh is no stranger to controversy, and with his latest venture, “Am I Racist?” he’s hoping to take the conversation to a new level with a weapon that knows no political boundaries: comedy. The Daily Wire film, which satirizes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, takes Walsh undercover to college campuses and corporate settings, confronting consultants and professionals in the DEI space. Unlike Walsh’s previous project, “What Is a Woman?” which tackled the absurdity of the trans movement, "Am I Racist?" isn't confined to The Daily Wire’s streaming platform but marks the media company’s first...
