    A big topic of conversation last week was where are the sleeper cells?We wiped out much of Iran's leadership, so one would think that they had protocols in place to start wreaking havoc in America.But aside from one Muslim attack in Austin, not much has happened.Frankly, I think the Iranians figured, let's just let Democrats do it.

    There's a difference between being heard and being seen. The 2026 State of the Union was the night politics reverted back to silent film. You could have watched the whole thing on mute and still figured out exactly who was on whose side. Trump walked into that chamber for his first State of the Union of his second term and delivered what looked less like a speech and more like a cross‑examination. He laid out wins, promises kept, and basic pro‑American positions. The camera then panned to Democrats, who looked like they were attending a sentencing hearing rather than a national address.The State of the Union in 2026 wasn't just policy; it was political bodycam footage. There was no place to hide. Trump talked about border security, protecting citizens, supporting victims of crime, defending parents, standing with police and soldiers, and reigniting prosperity. And there sat Democrats, stone‑faced or visibly annoyed, refusing to clap for things normal people regard as obvious. Politics punishes tone‑deafness faster than it punishes bad policy. Voters can forgive disagreement on details. What they rarely forgive is visible contempt for them and their priorities. When cameras showed Democrats remaining seated for basic American success stories, viewers saw not dissent but detachment.This is where the narrative truly fractured. The media could spin transcripts all they wanted, but the optics told a different story. The modern camera doesn't blink, doesn't edit in real time, and doesn't add ideological captions. It just records who looks delighted by American success and who looks inconvenienced by it. When emotional reactions don't match public sentiment, audiences instinctively sense an authenticity gap. Once people decide a political reaction is rehearsed or hostile, every future reaction looks like bad acting. Optics became destiny that night. The party that used to understand television better than anyone couldn't manage basic facial expressions for an audience of millions.Trump's speeches tend to generate polarized reactions, but polarization itself drives engagement. Meanwhile, visible refusal to applaud widely supported issues can unintentionally redefine party branding.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Trump Blasts Starmer — Is he a loser with no future? #Starmer #DonaldTrump #UKPolitics #Iran #TalkRadio #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live Let's be honest for a moment. When Donald Trump calls Keir Starmer "a loser who has no future," Westminster reacts with outrage — shock, horror, clutch the pearls. But here's the real question. Why are so many ordinary voters not shocked at all? Because look at what people are seeing. A world that's becoming more dangerous by the day. Serious tensions in the Middle East involving Iran. Major global uncertainty. And Britain — once a country that projected confidence and strength — now looks hesitant, cautious, almost afraid to speak plainly. Then you look at what's happening at home. People worried about the economy. Communities worried about crime and cohesion. Arguments raging about immigration, integration and free speech. And what does the government seem focused on? Another new "czar". Another official to monitor language and police attitudes. Now supporters say tackling anti-Muslim hatred is important — and of course discrimination should be challenged wherever it appears. But critics are asking a fair question: Is the government more interested in managing political sensitivities than confronting the deeper problems that are making communities anxious in the first place? That's the debate people want to have. And instead of engaging with it openly, too often the political class just tries to shut the conversation down. Well tonight we're not doing that. Tonight we're asking the uncomfortable question. Is Keir Starmer actually leading Britain with confidence… or does he increasingly look like a Prime Minister who's struggling to convince the country he knows where he's taking it? And if you think I'm wrong — tell me. Because this show is about debate, not silence.

The women could be twins.So when I finally met her, I was like “Hey Candace!” Keep in mind, I was far larger than she was. I was on Fox News and my star was rising. She didn't know me, and it was evident.I shook it off, and we continued talking as a group. Candace declared that she wants to be the biggest name in Black conservatism, and I thought to myself, “That's a loft goal”, as I reflected on Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and if I must go back further Booker T Washington, and so on.Anyway, I applauded her zeal.She and Charlie started speaking at colleges, and you could feel things changing for TPUSA.Charlie got energized, as TPUSA was floundering in raising money. Candace, though polarizing gave them a needed shot in the arm.TPUSA was struggling. And its pivot to Black issues saved them.

    How technocracy replaced burning books with programmable compliance — and why your ability to think, speak, and dissent is now the primary target. In this raw, unfiltered Technocracy Roundtable, I'm joined by Patrick Wood, Aaron Day, and Craig Wenclewicz to expose how the war on free speech has evolved from crude deplatforming and visible strikes into something far more dangerous: an invisible, AI-driven operating system designed to control what you think, say, and believe. We map the full control stack in real time — from algorithmic throttling and shadow banning, to conversational AI that permanently rewires political beliefs, cohort targeting, bot swarms, deepfakes, debanking, the UN Global Digital Compact, and the Brussels Effect that routes around the First Amendment. This isn't theory. This is the operating system already running the digital world. We also lay out real parallel systems and local action steps you can take right now to preserve sovereign voice before the window closes.

Starmer and Shabana Mahmood now want to offer illegal migrants up to £40,000 to go home. Instead of throwing taxpayers' money at the problem, why not secure our borders and adopt the only policy that works: DETER, DETAIN AND DEPORT. With more than 15 policy U-turns, Starmer seems to have the Midas touch in reverse — everything he touches turns to shit. Trump's criticism comes after Starmer reportedly refused to allow UK bases to be used in action against Iran, a decision many believe he was pushed into by figures such as Ed Miliband. Starmer held a press conference today trying to reassure the country that everything is under control. Watching it, I came away thinking something very different: the asylum system is broken and the lunatics are running the asylum in Westminster. Tonight we break it all down.

    Most of us have an unspoken rule set for modern relationships: Avoid the landmines. But according to Jacob Mchangama, that kind of fear-based self-censorship leads to disconnection. If you can't be forthright about what matters with the people you share life with, you may stay civil, but you won't stay close.In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Jacob Mchangama—founder and executive director of the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University—to explore what it looks like to disagree without dehumanizing. They talk about why today's conversations feel existential, how identity gets tangled with beliefs, and how to build habits that keep you grounded when your nervous system wants to go to war.Memorable Quotes“It is much better to confront those differences head-on rather than try to hide them under this veneer of mutual tolerance and respect—which really is not based on mutual tolerance and respect if you can't have those difficult conversations that divide people.”“When you self-censor about issues that are deeply meaningful to you, issues that affect society as a whole, when you think that you cannot speak out on an issue where you think someone that you're close to is wrong… it breeds loneliness. And then if you can only be very forthright about certain issues with a group of people who are completely like-minded, then that might also be self-radicalizing, in a way.”“Approach discussions on social media, for instance, with a mindset of saying, ‘I'm not going into this debate or discussion to win. I'm going into this discussion because I'm passionate about this issue, but I might be wrong.'”“If you have a conversation with someone and you know that you have very different positions on a given topic, you have an opportunity to learn something. Even if that person is not able to convince you about that position, they might have points that make you understand your own position better, or maybe you tweak your own position. Even if you tweak it 5%, that's quite valuable, right?”“If you allow yourself to be in the mindset, again, as I said before of ‘I'm not entering this discussion in order to win. I'm entering this discussion because it's a topic that I'm passionate about. I have certain beliefs, but I am willing to change my mind. I am very cognizant about the fact that I am not omniscient. I am a human being with very limited knowledge.' Just about every person that you meet will have some kind of experience, some kind of knowledge that you don't have, if you are willing to tap into that.”“[When] our identity is wrapped up in that to the point that we can never say we're wrong or we can never say that we made a mistake, that's a really dangerous place, because then you get into this ideological sunk cost fallacy situation where like you can't ever backtrack or change or evolve or grow. And hopefully, in relationships, we are able to evolve and grow. That's one of the gifts of relationships.”Key TakeawaysNot All Self-Censorship Is Bad. Filtering thoughtless comments is basic social wisdom. Silence driven by fear around meaningful issues is what erodes connection.Curiosity Disarms Conflict. Enter hard conversations with a posture of humility: I care about this—and I could be wrong. When you aspire to learn, you probably will.Aim for Understanding, Not Conversion. Even if no one changes their mind, you can refine your thinking and better understand the human story behind the opposing view.Deescalation Is a Skill. If emotions get the better of you, apologizing can reset the tone and invite good faith back into the room.Boundaries Aren't Censorship. If someone consistently denigrates you or refuses meaningful parameters, disengaging is healthy—not a failure.Leaders Set the Temperature. Trust grows when people can challenge ideas (even leadership decisions) without fear of punishment or shame.ResourcesFree Speech by Jacob MchanamaJacob Mchangama's SubstackWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/lKzhW8tjL3YThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Think of it this way, with that money California could have built 0 miles of high speed rail.While the world celebrates the death of one of the most horrible regimes on the planet, the Left in America plots against the world.They are so stuck in their world view, they won't stop to celebrate for just a moment.The same thing happened when Maduro was taken down in Venezuela. So what millions of displaced Venezuelans cheered America for helping restore their freedom, when there is a twisted ideology to worship.It's interesting to note that Democrats always claim to fight for freedom, however when freedom comes under Trump they NEVER celebrate it.Democrats used “threat to democracy” as their battle cry when they persecuted President Trump and anybody associated with him, all contrived as part of a sinister plot to…DESTROY DEMOCRACY and destroy freedom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

    Democrats Lost the Narrative - Ep 26-087

    Democrats once owned the script, the studio, and the critics. For decades, they treated politics like a movie where they wrote every line, cast themselves as the heroes, and handed Republicans a folded-up script and a folding chair. Journalists were the in‑house reviewers, professors were the archivists, and the public was supposed to clap on cue. The system was elegant in its simplicity: say something long enough, the media repeat it; the media repeat it long enough, professors teach it; professors teach it long enough, and it shows up at Thanksgiving in the form of a freshly indoctrinated relative interrogating you like the FBI over the mashed potatoes. It all rested on one fragile ingredient: belief. When belief collapses, repetition turns into noise.Belief started collapsing the moment ordinary people compared headlines with receipts and street corners. Inflation numbers said “it's fine,” but eggs looked like luxury items. Crime was “mostly down,” but people were stepping over zombies to get to their cars. The border was “secure,” but small towns were being turned into international transit hubs with no vote, no plan, and no end date. Inflation receipts became fact‑checkers. Border towns became investigative journalists. Parents at school board meetings turned into constitutional scholars almost overnight, because nobody else was defending their kids. The moment voters realized the approved narrative didn't match the lived story, Democrats lost their grip on the script.Then Donald Trump did the unforgivable in modern politics: he ignored the script entirely. He didn't try to rewrite it within their frame; he threw it in the recycling bin and started talking directly to the audience. Democrats thought they were directing a solemn drama; the public realized it was satire. They managed to wound him for a while with lawfare and sham investigations, and briefly regained narrative control by criminalizing dissent and outsourcing censorship to tech platforms. But they couldn't outrun reality forever. Inflation, crime, border chaos, and institutional corruption kept blowing holes in the storyline. They lost control of the narrative once, snatched it back with raw power, and now, in 2026, they've lost it again—and this time it's slipping beyond recovery.But they lost it again, and this time they can't wrestle it back.

    History loves irony. Leftist America spent decades exporting democracy lectures while struggling to agree on its own definitions at home. Then suddenly two revolutions appear connected not by geography but by psychology.In Iran, citizens confront religious authoritarianism. In America, voters confront ideological bureaucracy. Different systems, same human instinct: people eventually reject voices that insist reality must match doctrine.Freedom rarely arrives politely. It shows up messy, loud, and deeply inconvenient for people who built careers managing narratives.Trump's supporters argue he didn't create rebellion in America. He noticed it, then licensed it. He gave permission to Americans to doubt institutions that once felt untouchable.As you consider what's happening in Iran, understand that Trump did the same thing in America metaphorically. Trump dropped surgical bombs on Leftists and their institutions.Trump's entrance disrupted the pipeline. Instead of filtering through institutions, he communicated directly and continuously, bypassing editorial mediation. That strategy initially looked chaotic but produced something revolutionary: competing ideologies visible in real time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    In the latest episode of Elucidations, Greg Salmieri (University of Texas) joins us once again, this time to discuss freedom of speech.Free speech talk has been in the air, on the internet, for the past decade. But what exactly is going on with freedom of speech? Do I have the right to criticize my alderman's second term on my blog without getting thrown in jail? Do I have the right to publish cartoons that make fun of venerated religious figures without being physically attacked Do I have the right to tell my work colleagues who I voted for in the last election without getting fired? Do I have the right to express an opinion on whether R2-D2 or BB-8 is the superior Star Wars droid, without getting kicked out a group chat I have going with my friends? Which of these things is a right and which isn't? What even is a right?Our esteemed guest offers a few suggestions to help us navigate these questions. One core suggestion is that we should think of a right as something defining spheres of action: having the right to do something means that on such and such a question, deciding how to act and then acting that way is my purview, rather than anyone else's. It doesn't mean that every possible decision I make is the right one. I could have the right to make a given decision, even if the actual decision I end up making in that case ends up being morally wrong; that doesn't change the fact that it would also be morally wrong to block me from making it. For instance, even if I decide to regularly do drugs, knowing that it will turn into a harmful habit, that doesn't change the fact that I have the right to decide whether or not to get into drugs, and it also doesn't mean that it would be okay for others to prevent me from making that decision.This idea of a right as tied to spheres of action and decision making leads naturally to a distinction between the different examples on our original list. I do have the right to mock revered figures, or to express unfashionable political views, without being physically attacked or thrown in jail. However, there is no such thing as the right to say whatever you want to your friends in a group chat, without getting kicked out. Indeed, if there are any rights in the vicinity of that question, it's your friends who have the right to decide who they want to associate with and invite to their group chats. Why is that? The idea is that you aren't being physically forced away from a decision that's in your purview. If your friends don't want you in their group chat, it's their prerogative, and it would probably be best for you to find a group chat in which your hot takes on droids would be received more favorably.Salmieri then goes on to argue that similar reasoning applies to both social media platforms and workplaces. The overall view that emerges is that the right to free speech is central and important, but that in recent discourse, it has strangely been extended beyond its natural reach.I found this to be an illuminating conversation that had a big impact on how I think about freedom of speech. I hope you enjoy it.Matt Teichman Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Did you know that El Mencho was arrested in San Franciso and RELEASED. Back in 1989.Because while most of Washington was busy holding symposiums about “root causes” and hosting empathy workshops for criminals, President Trump just helped take down one of the most powerful cartel bosses on planet Earth. El Mencho. Gone. Finished. Game over for one very important résumé in organized crime.And the reaction has been fascinating.Not from the cartels. They reacted exactly how you'd expect. Panic, scrambling, hiding money, switching phones every eight minutes. Totally normal criminal behavior.Do you know that the president of Mexico said she didn't want to use force against the cartels because it would violate their human rights."Returning to the war against the narco is not an option. First, because it is outside the framework of the law."The interesting reaction came from politicians.Suddenly, people who never showed urgency about fentanyl deaths are deeply concerned about… escalation. Isn't that amazing? For years Americans were dying by the tens of thousands, and Washington's response was basically a candlelight vigil and a grant proposal. But the moment a cartel leader gets eliminated, now we need caution. Now we need nuance. Now everybody's a geopolitical philosopher.It's almost like stability was working out pretty well for somebody.Let's be honest about what cartels are. These aren't guys in pickup trucks making bad decisions. These are multinational corporations with better logistics than most Fortune 500 companies. They run supply chains, security divisions, intelligence networks, and marketing operations. The only difference between a cartel and a tech startup is one sells poison and the other sells your data… and sometimes I'm not sure which one Congress regulates more.CJNG, El Mencho's organization, wasn't just a cartel. It was an army with branding. Drones, armored vehicles, territory control. These guys weren't hiding from governments.

    Candace Owens has released a multi-part "investigative" series called "The Bride of Charlie," targeting Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk who now runs Turning Point USA. The first two episodes racked up nearly 6 million views within 36 hours on YouTube alone, where Owens has 5.8 million subscribers. The reach goes far beyond her subscriber base, with YouTube and other platform algorithms actively pushing her content to audiences who would never seek it out on their own. Owens previously produced a similar series making accusations about Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, alleging she is transgender. Those claims have been widely debunked, and the Macrons have filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens that is currently pending. Given the scope of her audience and the demonstrably false nature of the claims, the financial damages in that case could reach tens of millions of dollars. The "Bride of Charlie" series opens with Owens questioning Erica Kirk's qualifications to lead Turning Point USA and draws comparisons between accepting Kirk as a grieving widow and pandemic-era messaging, while invoking "Zionist media" conspiracy language. Owens has also previously alleged that Israel arranged Charlie Kirk's assassination. Charlie Kirk built Turning Point USA into an organization reportedly raising over $250 million in 2024, with a mission centered on reaching young people on college campuses. The broader pattern of right-wing media, from Owens to Tucker Carlson, consistently circles back to antisemitism, transphobia, racism, and bigotry, now amplified at scale by algorithms pushing that content directly to young audiences. The state of Kansas recently passed legislation effectively erasing the legal identity of transgender residents by invalidating their driver's licenses, a development Hawk connects directly to the years of anti-trans content being produced and distributed by creators like Owens.

    Have you stopped to consider the number of lies Democrats tell themselves?It's enormous.I don't know how they live themselves, except to say they're scared to leave the cult.Blatant lies.Covid. Vaccine effectiveness. Masks. Etc.Guns. Border policy. 2020 election. 2022 midterms. J6.The strangest thing about the hypothetical was not the shouting. It was the silence.At precisely midnight, something shifted. No executive order. No Supreme Court ruling. No viral hashtag. Just an inexplicable civic condition: every Democrat in America, from city council to Capitol Hill, suddenly lost the ability to lie.Not exaggerate. Not deflect. Not rebrand. Lie.By sunrise, the cable news studios looked like aquariums after someone forgot to oxygenate the tank. Pundits opened their mouths with the usual choreography, but what came out was unfiltered oxygen. Raw. Bracing. Occasionally fatal to reputations.The first hearings convened before breakfast.A senior Democrat, long fond of describing January 6 as an existential threat on par with Pearl Harbor and 9/11, leaned toward the microphone and admitted that while the riot was disgraceful, the apocalyptic rhetoric proved politically invaluable. It unified a fractured caucus. It redirected scrutiny away from pandemic policy failures. It froze debate. “Most secure election in history,” another repeated, before clarifying that security and public confidence are not synonyms, particularly after states rewrote voting procedures under emergency authority while private actors poured hundreds of millions into local election administration.He even cited the now well documented “Zuckerberg grants,” the $419 million channeled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a figure reported widely in 2021 and dissected in state legislatures thereafter. What had once been framed as “philanthropy” was now described, under duress of honesty, as asymmetrical infrastructure. Legal, perhaps. Neutral, not exactly.Then the conversation pivoted to COVID.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Some political mistakes fade quietly into history, tucked away between polling cycles and rewritten talking points. But not all.Others arrive dressed in prime-time lighting, broadcast in high definition, replayed endlessly while consultants stare at screens wondering how nobody saw it coming.The Democrats' reaction to President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union belongs firmly in the second category.Because this was not merely a bad night for the opposition party. It was not a messaging error, a tone problem, or an unfortunate collection of viral clips. It was a strategic catastrophe, the kind that reshapes political permission structures for years, possibly decades.Democrats did not just oppose Trump, they publicly validated his central argument about them.The Setup Everyone Saw Except ThemBy the time Trump entered the House chamber, the script was already written, though only one side appeared to recognize it.Trump version 2.0 is not the improvisational insurgent of 2016. This is a president who has learned the rhythms of power, the psychology of opponents, and most importantly, the media ecosystem that converts moments into narrative gravity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    In the years leading up to the American Revolution, newspapers and pamphlets overflowed with essays signed "Publius," "Brutus," and "A Farmer." Those arguments helped shape a nation, but the authors' real names were nowhere to be found. Americans have long relied on anonymous speech to challenge the powerful, protect dissenters, and keep the focus on ideas rather than identities. That tradition has endured into America's digital age, even as anonymous speech has become more controversial. To explore America's history with anonymity, we are joined by Jeff Kosseff, a nonresident senior legal fellow at The Future of Free Speech and author of The United States of Anonymous. Preorder his forthcoming book, The Future of Free Speech: Reversing the Global Decline of Democracy's Most Essential Freedom.   Timestamps:  00:00 Intro   02:01 What is anonymity? 04:38 Anonymous speech in Colonial America 15:58 Does the First Amendment protect anonymity? 20:35 Anonymous speech in the Civil Rights Era  31:17 The internet and anonymity 35:44 Modern anonymity debates: DHS subpoenas, age verification, social media regulation, and VPN bans 51:53 Outro   Enjoy listening to the podcast?

    Trump's election win changed everything. The fact that Democrats couldn't cheat enough to win was apocalyptic for them. But good for America and the world. Look at how the world looks now. America is not the only country winning, as the Trump Doctrine has changed the way countries view things.Companies are adjusting their immigration policies to that of America.They are ridding themselves of radical Islam, with countries like Japan taking radical steps. Trump gave the world permission to push back on NWO and other equally nonsensical stuff. Trump's SOTU wasn't a message only to Americans, but to the world.

    What do you get the man who has everything? Because politically, President Trump has it all. That's why this was the easiest SOTU for a president in the modern era. Forget the media hype, and hyperventilating of Democrats. When you think of Democrats, remember that these are the people who happily cheated in a braindead moron over Trump version 1. And they would happily trade AOC for Trump version 2.Yes, they are that crazy.How many Democrats tried to make news saying, “I'm not going”. WHO CARES?![X] SB – Hochul on Black kids in the BronxIs it even possible to discuss Trump's exploits in less than 2 hours? Nope.Even in the little things, Trump won before the SOTU even happened.
