Well, Bad Bunny ended up not wearing a dress during yesterday's Super Bowl halftime show. We have to wonder if Roger Goodell or someone in the NFL put the kibosh on that plan, especially after Goodell said the program wouldn't be political. President Trump slammed the show as "terrible" and "one of the worst." Meanwhile, the TPUSA alternative show attracted tens of millions of views so far. TMZ put up a poll last night asking which show was better, and it's not going well for them. Who had the better halftime show -- Bad Bunny or Kid Rock? — TMZ...

Representative Eric Swalwell and his staff were silent when asked if the Congressman planned to comment on his endorsement of the first transgender-identifying woman to hold state office who was arrested in June for distributing child pornography. 39-year-old Stacie Laughton, who formerly went by his male name Bruce, was the first state transgender-identifying representative in the state of New Hampshire. Laughton was arrested and charged in June for soliciting pornographic images of children from his partner who was a daycare worker at the time. The former representative is facing one count of sexual exploitation of minors and aiding and abetting...

Snip - Vance said the optimal number of legal immigrants to admit is “far less than what we’ve been accepting,” but he did not offer a firm number when pressed by a woman who questioned his stance. He criticized former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, which he said allowed too many people into the country and threatened the social fabric of the United States.

Major corporate giving platforms use the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to vet charities, effectively blocking donations to many conservative and faith-based nonprofits wrongly labeled as “hate groups.” Benevity, a platform used by hundreds of corporations to manage workplace donations, says it has processed more than $18.5 billion in transactions. Company materials show that the platform relies on the SPLC list to help determine which organizations employees are allowed to select for donations....

The Charlie Kirk show has responded after conservative political commentator Candace Owens released a screenshot of messages shared by Kirk in a group chat, where he had been discussing Jewish donors pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. "It is authentic," Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said in a video released on October 7. "I actually am really excited that the truth is out there. I first want to say, the reason I didn’t share that screengrab publicly is that it was a private exchange." Kolvet said Kirk's feelings about Israel were "complicated and nuanced" and he wanted...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Chip Roy said Wednesday they plan to investigate a university’s decision to block a Turning Point USA event. Their comments came in response to reports that Texas Christian University denied the student chapter’s request to host an on-campus event featuring detransitioner Chloe Cole. “This doesn’t look like free speech to me,” Paxton wrote on X Wednesday morning. “I’m going to look into this.” “My friend … [Chloe Cole] testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee,” Roy, R-Texas, wrote. “Expect an inquiry as to why she’s not welcomed by you … ” Cole,...

The Anti-Defamation League pulled its Glossary of Extremism and Hate days after conservatives assailed the antisemitism watchdog for including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA in the index. Without directly addressing criticism from Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and others, the ADL on Tuesday said its database had become "outdated." "[A]n increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused," ADL said in a post to X. "Moreover, our experts have continued to develop more comprehensive resources and innovative ways to provide information about antisemitism, extremism and hate....

Charlie Kirk's assassination on September 10th, 2025, had a significant impact on the country. It united Christians and conservatives worldwide in mourning one of their most vocal apologists and evangelists, especially among the younger generation. Kirk was a man of God first before he would ever strive to be identified as a conservative activist. It feels as if we have lost a brother, not just a celebrity, and it's because of the life Charlie lived. --SNIP-- With hardly any proof or solid evidence, the ADL has continued to weaponize its activism against conservatism to capitalize on outrage culture to make...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined the chorus of hard-right influencers posting their past text messages from Charlie Kirk as the MAGA world debates Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s claim that Kirk had turned against Israel. Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right. Greene added her voice to the firestorm on Wednesday with a post that included a screenshot of a text message from Kirk, asking her if she would like to take part in a debate...
