John Stossel interviews James Lindsay, famous for fighting wokeness on the left. Lindsay is vigorously investigating wokeness on the right, mostly but not limited to those following the ideas of Nick Fuentes. ---- A new section of the right is foolishly bashing liberty … and even embracing Marxist ideas. That's why some call them the "woke right."

Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds denounced the wing of his party he claims is threatening to “co-opt the conservative movement” during a speech at a Miami-Dade GOP fundraiser this week, after an anti-immigration candidate started teasing a primary run against him in Florida’s gubernatorial race. “Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there is this strain going on on the right — they’re calling it the ‘woke right,’” U.S. Rep. Donalds said Tuesday. “There’s some strain going on that’s now saying, ‘Not just no illegal immigration, but no legal immigration.’” His comments during the annual Miami Dade GOP Lincoln Day Dinner...

As his presidential campaign sputtered, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., could sound like a candidate unstuck in time. In June, he spent days responding to a dismissive comment from Barack Obama questioning his commitment to racial justice, saying America was a “land of opportunity, not a land of oppression.” In September, he rolled out an “empower parents” plan by explaining that children “need the ABCs, not CRT.” Wherever he campaigned, he invoked his race and biography as the ultimate rebuke to race-obsessed progressives fixated on a “culture of grievance” instead of personal achievement: “My life disproves their lie.” Republican primary voters,...

On April 3, after Bud Light named trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney a spokesperson, Kid Rock responded with a video showing him firing an automatic rifle at a stack of Bud Light beer cases. Country star Travis Tritt announced that he was dropping the beer from his tours, and several conservative social media personalities launched a boycott of the brand. In Tennessee, the state legislature recently banned drag queen shows but, after the Covenant Baptist School shooting, expelled two Black legislators for protesting gun violence with demonstrators. And last month, the Republican Party of Texas censured GOP Representative Tony Gonzalez,...

Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan said in an interview Monday night on Newsmax that he had asked for the immigration records of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be pulled for his review over allegations the Somali refugee married her brother to help him gain residency in the United States. President Donald Trump brought up the allegation against Omar while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office last week. Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm. And now for the...

Why do we have a constitution? How and why did it come into existence? Just what, exactly, prompted the calling of the Constitutional Convention, which gave birth to it? Most Americans believe, logically enough, that after we sent His Britannic Majesty packing, it was time to create a new government. This is false, and it entirely overlooks the fact that we already had a functioning government at the time of the Convention. That government had been in effect for the entirety of the Revolution and for six years following the final British defeat at Yorktown. No, the Convention was prompted...

A team of Italian scientists took the world by storm last March when they announced the discovery of a colossal underground complex plunging nearly 3,500 feet beneath Egypt's Giza Plateau and linking chambers the size of city blocks. Now Filippo Biondi, the radar engineer who developed the imaging method, has gone public with evidence that he said leaves little room for doubt.In a new interview on Jesse Michels' American Alchemy podcast, Biondi revealed that four independent satellite operators, Umbra, Capella Space, ICEYE and Italy's Cosmo-SkyMed, all returned identical raw tomography data showing the same structures.>>>Each shaft has a central column...

Flopping Aces@FloppingAcesIf you think January 6 was spontaneous chaos, buckle up.Because in June 2020...seven months before the riot, Washington insiders held a secret war game called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) that literally rehearsed a “January 6 breakdown.”Not metaphorically.Not vaguely.Explicitly. 🧵👇1/189:21 AM · Dec 7, 2025·17.7KViewsFlopping Aces@FloppingAcesWho participated?Not random academics.Not armchair punditsBut:John PodestaMichael SteeleDonna BrazileBill KristolSenior Obama Pentagon officialsCIA/State/Intel operativesNever-Trump RepublicansHigh-ranking military strategistsA full-blown anti-Trump power cartel.2/18Flopping Aces@FloppingAces·14hThe TIP documents were written as a “war game.”But what they rehearsed wasn’t “what if Trump refuses to leave?”What they rehearsed was:“How do we prevent Trump from taking office even if he wins?”And...

The Department of War (DOW) has threatened to court martial Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over the "refuse illegal orders" video that he and other Democrat lawmakers put together recently. The DOW announced on X, "The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in...

Can you imagine that? They don't care. "I just made a motion to bring it straight to the dadgum floor and they blocked it. They blocked it!" "I tried to do unanimous consent, tried to get the Epstein files, get it straight to the floor to cut out all this nonsense. And, you know, and the Democrats blocked it oddly enough!" "Now here they've had it for four years and they, obviously, if there was something there about Trump, they would have released it." "This is politics. It has nothing to do with doing what's right!" "And it's Washington DC...

How can they get you to stop eating meat? Well they will kill the cows and that's exactly what they're doing. This is a really disturbing story... pay attention to how they're doing this. You can’t make this up. Denmark just made it illegal to raise cattle without giving them drugs. Farmers are being forced—by law—to feed their cows a government-approved chemical that supposedly stops them from farting too much. To stop producing methane. I had a fascinating conversation with Kevin DeMeritt, Founder of Lear Capital, about gold, silver, and what investors should be paying attention to right now. If...

Genuine concern about antisemitism on the right is being hijacked by neocons to attack J.D. Vance in hopes of re-taking control of the GOP.Let’s get something straight about the civil war breaking out on the right: it’s not primarily about Tucker Carlson “platforming” or “normalizing” Nick Fuentes, or about Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ decision to defend Carlson, or even about the rise of antisemitism on the right. The primary target here isn’t Carlson or Roberts, but Vice President J.D. Vance. And the people targeting him are Never Trump foreign policy interventionists who hope to destroy the MAGA movement and...

In her first major move as Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins is wasting no time draining the swamp inside the nation’s food assistance system. In a fiery post on X, Rollins revealed that her department has already uncovered massive fraud within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and that 21 Democrat-led states are actively blocking efforts to expose it. “On my first day @USDA, we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused, and two SUED US...

Sean Davis @seanmdavOne of the things that drives me nuts about the current era of political conversation and speech-policing is that nobody is ever honest about the end goal of certain tactics. So let’s just lay it out: the war against Tucker is actually a proxy war against J.D. Vance.It is being waged primarily by interventionists who hate the foreign policy realism of the Trump era, hate that J.D. has embraced it, and desperately want to either get rid of J.D. or bully him into doing what they want. The war on Tucker is designed to be a warning shot...

Egypt's Antiquities Ministry announced this morning that a team of underwater archaeologists had discovered that remains of a large Egyptian army from the 14th century BC, at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez, 1.5 kilometers offshore from the modern city of Ras Gharib. The team was searching for the remains of ancient ships and artifacts related to Stone Age and Bronze Age trade in the Red Sea area, when they stumbled upon a gigantic mass of human bones darkened by age. The scientists lead by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader and associated with Cairo University's Faculty of Archaeology, have already...

An ancient Hopi prophecy predicts the rise of a mysterious figure known as the 'True White Brother,' marked by a red cap, who would change the nation forever. Believed to be centuries old, the prophecy comes from the Hopi tribe of the southwestern US, whose wisdom has guided generations for over a thousand years. In 1992, spiritual elder Thomas Banyacya brought the prophecy to the United Nations, warning that during a time of great turmoil and rapid technological change, an individual bearing a symbolic 'red hat' would emerge, shaping the fate of the world. 'We were told that three helpers...

A mummified monk found in the lotus position in Mongolia is 'not dead' and is instead one stage away from becoming a real-life Buddha, it has been claimed. Forensic examinations are under way on the amazing remains, which are believed to be around 200 years old, having been preserved in animal skin. But one expert has insisted the human relic is actually in 'very deep meditation' and in a rare and very special spiritual state known as 'tukdam'. Over the last 50 years there are said to have been 40 such cases in India involving meditating Tibetan monks. Dr Barry...
