Go look at Mamdani's base. It's a foreign — these sanctuary cities — this is all by design. These people are smart and they're vicious and they're focused and they understand the way to take America down is internally. What do you think the MAGA movement started with? Hey, we've got to secure our borders and get all the illegal aliens out of the country. You're going to see — thank God — thank God in heaven Bill Pulte is over at DNI and that John Solomon is in the White House. Just put a pin in that. We're going to get back to that, but I think you're going to see — I think you're going to be pleasantly — you won't be pleasantly surprised, you will understand, but the rest of the nation should be shocked. It's not a conspiracy theory. These people are doing it methodically, and they're doing it up in your face. The universities, all of it. And the progressives with — mostly driven by Jewish intellectuals — have hated this country and that is why these universities are cesspools.

“Benny Johnson. Never heard of this guy before. He's been a grifter. He's been a drifter. He's got serious questions raised about plagiarism in the past and things of that sort.” “BJ Benny Johnson, who I know nothing about other than what I just studied. I researched his background. He's a real sleazeball.” “See, if you're low IQ and you have failed in at least 10 jobs, and you've been accused of plagiarism and you've been fired for it, and you have just figured out the best grift as a podcaster is to be the biggest a-hole imaginable — to lie, to deceive, to have no respect for the people who are listening to you, but you're desperate. You're desperate, and your views are very similar to Hasan Piker, but don't tell anybody. But they are, especially when it comes to the Middle East. Then you're a BJ or a Benny Johnson.”

When discussing the Supreme Court’s decision on Megyn Kelly’s podcast, the Federalist Society's Will Chamberlain noted that per the ruling, “everybody who paid a tariff is probably entitled to a refund.” Kelly asked in response, “So are we going to get sued by other countries? Is that who's going to sue us, saying, ‘I want a refund of all the tariffs I paid to the United States’?” Chamberlain simply responded, “No. It's going to be the actual people who paid the tariffs, and, remember, that’s United States citizens and importers.”

Daily Wire screenshot Unless we’re complaining about Bad Bunny or celebrating Sydney Sweeney, conservatives have largely ceded the cultural conversation to the Left. General coverage of lifestyle, pop culture, and human interest content has become the purview of the liberals at magazines and websites that would prefer for each heartwarming story about a successful GoFundMe campaign for a cancer patient to end in a call for universal healthcare.
The unexpected but brief airspace closure in the Texas border city of El Paso stemmed from disagreements between the Federal Aviation Administration and Pentagon officials over drone-related tests, multiple sources close to the matter told CBS News. The Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on the use of military technology near Fort Bliss, a military base that abuts the El Paso International Airport, to practice taking down drones. Two sources identified the technology as a high-energy laser.

BET-DAVID: I would have thought about Frank Marshall Davis. That's the first one — YARVIN: Yeah. Yeah. That's his, probably his dad, actually, who's also, I mean, they look like, if you basically take Frank Marshall Davis and Stanley Ann Dunham's face and morph them together, it looks like Barack Obama. This is another thing. If I if, you know, let's go full birther for a moment. Can we go full birther? BET-DAVID: Sure, yeah. YARVIN: Obviously he was not born in Kenya. That's ridiculous. That would have never happened at this time. What I believe happened was that basically Stanley Dunham's Black — Dunham is also a communist. His Black communist pornographer friend knocks up his teenage daughter, and the response is, and this was kind of a normal thing for 1960, the response is, let's find an African exchange student who can pretend to be the real father. Because actually, my Black communist pornographer friend knocked up my daughter, is not acceptable — BET-DAVID: Stop. YARVIN: In any way, shape or form, in 1960. You know, I had a — BET-DAVID: Is that what you're saying happened? YARVIN: That's, I'm pretty sure what happened. And that explains just like, it explains the complete lack of a relationship between Barack Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham. It explains Barack Obama's relationship with a guy he calls Pop. It explains, like, you know, a zillion things. And it's just it's actually kind of banal. What's actually not banal is that I think they got, communists working in the state government in Hawaii to kind of forge the documentation a little bit, which is why you had that whole food for all with the birth certificate, which by the way, we still have not seen.

You only get about one page into Jeanine Pirro’s new book, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, before she calls herself an idiot. It’s not entirely clear whether she meant to do it or if she just got lost in the rapture of the prose, but she definitely calls herself an idiot. “We know what the liberal media think of Trump voters: They’re deplorables, idiots, rednecks, and people who cling to God, guns, and religion,” Pirro writes. “To those charges, I plead guilty--guilty and proud!” It’s confusing, and you’re left wondering why Pirro seemingly went out of her way to make herself look stupid. But intentional or not, it serves as an apt table-setter for the rest of the book, in which the Fox News host inflicts upon the reader a frenetic conspiracy theory that absolutely obliterates all logic and does violence upon the very notion of observable truth, and effectively discredits herself by painstakingly demonstrating that she is committed solely to the mission of kissing the ass of her friend, President Donald Trump.
charles gasparino tweet from 4/23/25 at 7:23 pm, highlighted bit reads: what people inside the administration know but won’t say: An economic catastrophe if the original plan with China is implemented full text: Breaking: The talk on Wall Street based on their sources inside the White House is that Team Trump is looking for a face saving off ramp on trade even with China. It’s why you see the conflicting responses out of Bessent; they’re an attempt to negotiate through the media, acting tough but signaling the need for a deal (calling the China contretemps unsustainable because they are). I hear one possible way out of this is not to do done deals, but to announce some broad outline that avoids what people inside the administration know but won’t say: An economic catastrophe if the original plan with China is implemented given just how much US businesses deal with the Mainland and the rest of Asia. It won’t be easy primarily because China isn’t even talking to us yet and the deals they are poised to cut with say India dont matter that much in the scheme of things. Trump inherited a lousy trade system particularly w China that takes advantage at every step. But you would think they would know that and plan accordingly given the complexity of dealing with so many nations at once and the other variables

screenshot of transcript of a youtube interview with andrew tate: TATE: No, you can't. But this is actually interesting, so let's analyze this. Free speech. This is a interesting conversation because America believes it has free speech. It doesn't. But every single country in the world has things you cannot talk about. Every single country in the world has off topics -- off-limit topics. In Russia, it's Putin, in the Middle East, it's Islam, in Turkey, it's Erdogan. If you talk against them, you're going to get in a lot trouble. Do you know what the American one is? FORGEARD: What, speaking out against the Dems? TATE: Speaking out against the Jews. If you speak out — FORGEARD: Oh, the Jews.

A federal judge in Seattle blocked, temporarily, President Donald Trump’s attempt to rescind birthright citizenship — the idea spelled out in the Constitution that every person born in the United States is an American citizen. Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday was blistering in his criticism of Trump’s action as he granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”

Now, if you ask ChatGPT, you know what they say to this joke that he made? The joke, while intended to be humorous, is a form of satire based on a mix-up between environmental issues and political commentary. It plays on the fact that there is a massive garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean, a well-known environmental concern — not by everybody — by suggesting that Puerto Rico, a US Territory, is a floating island of garbage, it can be seen as a satirical commentary on the neglect or mistreatment Puerto Rico has historically faced, especially following serious weather events.
