Conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s movie “Am I Racist?” is a hybrid of mockumentary in the tradition of “Spinal Tap” and his signature ironic take on the inanities of our age. Walsh’s message in “Am I Racist?” is simple: Although racism in America is a faint ghost of its historic self—as professor Wilfred Reilly told Walsh,…
Every September, world leaders travel to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly. While the floor speeches garner the most attention, most often the real action happens in meetings between the leaders and high-level meetings where governments finalize and agree to various statements and agreements. This year, the Summit of the Future is…
Understandably, we want to blame someone besides the 14-year-old who murdered four people Sept. 5 at Apalachee High School in Georgia. People are shocked and upset that the father taught the boy to shoot and hunt, and bought the boy a rifle for Christmas. But that doesn’t mean it made any sense for police to…
The second attempted assassination of Donald Trump over the weekend came just after the dismissal by a Georgia judge of more lawfare charges against the former president and other defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ partisan prosecution. But on Friday, two days before Sunday’s second shocking attempt to kill Trump, another dismissal occurred….
Editor’s note: In this podcast episode, Nicole Solas said she submitted a public records request to the University of San Diego. She later clarified that she actually submitted the request to the University of Rhode Island. Rhode Island mom and parental rights advocate Nicole Solas was sued by teachers unions in 2021 after she requested…
Ahead of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, many influential actors, journalists, and influencers warned that Trump is an “existential threat” to democracy, compared him to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, and suggested he or his supporters should face violent attacks. Some continued attacking Trump even after the first assassination attempt July 13….
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we deliver the quick news and analysis on the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump before we cover his remarks to the nation on X Spaces live. The corporate media’s coverage of the attempt on the former president’s life is not only as misleading…
Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt by one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed Sunday yet another foiled one, by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict. Somehow he, too, once again got within relatively easy shooting range of former President Donald Trump. Is there a continued pattern…
John Miller entered the field of journalism in Washington, D.C., in the early 1990s. There were only a handful of outlets with conservative commentary writers on their staffs at the time, and, even then, Miller says, he remembers being frustrated by the liberal bias in the media. “This notion that, you know, a generation ago…
Anyone who has been following singer Taylor Swift since 2020 should not be remotely surprised by her endorsing Kamala Harris for president on Tuesday night. As much as some conservatives want to view Swift’s endorsement as an earth-shattering betrayal, they would do well not to look for validation in celebrity endorsements to begin with. …
The debate debacle hosted by ABC News underscored why the conservative half of America is hostile to “fact-checkers.” Object to them, and the Left decrees it’s because you’re hostile to facts. But what conservatives actually oppose is leftist argumentation that’s poorly disguised as nonpartisan and devoid of opinion. “Fact-checking” is often an exercise in spin-spoiling….
The negative effects of California’s Proposition 47 are well known—a surge in theft, chaos, and lawlessness. Prop 47, a ballot measure approved by voters in 2014, reclassified nonviolent larceny as a misdemeanor so long as the value of the goods stolen is less than $950. This results are seen in horrifying videos of criminals brazenly…
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we take another shot of caffeinated, sugary soda from the Kamala Harris-obsessed media, with the same kind of awkward, increasingly diminished returns popular with a certain president. What happens when you predict a forecast of raining cats and dogs in Ohio, only to bring the television…
To sum up the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies in a phrase, I’d say “America Last.” Over nearly four years, we have seen the results of an unprecedented experiment: What happens when a first world country abandons its legal limits and processes on immigration and allows nearly unlimited, unvetted migration? This is effectively what the Biden-Harris…
The men and women who’ve defended our nation should not have the veterans benefits they earned threatened by fiscal mismanagement. That’s why Republican lawmakers introduced a supplemental appropriations bill to provide an additional $2.9 billion to cover shortfalls in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ budget for fiscal year 2024. However, this supplemental spending bill…
In 1990, in the midst of a heated—and racially charged—U.S. Senate race in North Carolina between Republican incumbent Jesse Helms and Democratic challenger Harvey Gantt, Chicago Bulls superstar guard Michael Jordan issued one of his most famous lines. Jordan, who grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, and won a national championship in 1982 for the…
The “American dream” has long been a cornerstone of our national identity—the idea that any citizen of the United States, regardless of upbringing or background, can work his or her way to prosperity. It is why nearly 1 in 5 businesses in the country are owned by first-generation Americans. It is borne out in the…
Is Vice President Kamala Harris the future of the Democratic Party? Her ascendancy has been meteoric, fueled by Democrats eager to retain control of the White House. The youthful Harris was the answer to President Joe Biden‘s old blood. At a glance, she was younger and more spirited. Harris embodied the diversity exalted by Democratic…
A Venezuelan émigré gang is wreaking havoc in U.S. communities. In El Paso, Texas, the Tren de Aragua gang took over a hotel. And in Aurora, Colorado, members of the same Venezuelan gang have been terrorizing residents in rundown apartment complexes. Tren de Aragua is a “Venezuelan prison gang and … they’ve been wreaking havoc…
