Buckley's campaign was successful in re-energizing the conservative base. As Buckley biographer Sam Tanenhaus commented to The American Conservative, '[TAC Co-Founder] Pat Buchanan told me that after Goldwater's defeat in 1964 and before Nixon's victory in 1968, "Bill Buckley was all we had. He was the biggest guy."'
Beginning in the fall of 2026, all Florida middle and high school students will be required to take a yearly social studies class on the history of communism. The curriculum has already received the stamp of approval from the conservative Heritage Foundation (the group behind Project 2025), a right-wing nonprofit organization called the National Association of Scholars (NAS) and a NAS spinoff called the Civics Alliance.
Jose Antonio Kast, a 60-year-old ultra Catholic whose father was a member of the Nazi party, has consistently blocked progressive bids for women's rights and equality across his three-decade career in politics. As a congressman, Kast voted against divorce when Chile became one of the last countries of the world to legalise it in 2004 and vehemently opposed the legalisation of abortion under limited exceptions when it was passed in 2017.
Trump claimed that the bill will achieve "NO MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS" AND "NO TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF PARENTS." She shared an image of a post from Trump demanding Congress pass the SAVE Act, a voter ID bill that has nothing to do with access to transgender health care.
Marling donated $675,000 in the GOP primary, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the amount spent by a super PAC opposed to Crenshaw. Marling's contributions bankrolled a stream of mailers and TV ads that have inundated Crenshaw's southeastern Texas district since the beginning of the year.
Evangelical MAGA pastor Tony Suarez recently claimed that, in eastern Tennessee, there are "kitty litter boxes in the public schools for the girls that identify as furries." It's a regularly debunked right-wing lie that conservatives regularly resurrect as a way to build public opposition to transgender students and "woke" school policies.
The idea that Donald Trump campaigned on allowing our enemies to build nuclear weapons and threaten to wipe us off the face of the earth, that he shouldn't intervene in that, that he shouldn't confront that, that somehow that violates what MAGA stands for, is so idiotic, is so stupid, and yet they push this agenda.
Both plays set out to examine the ugly ways that American capitalism has twisted itself up with the striving of characters of color - characters whose immediate roots stretch beyond the U.S. and whose ambitions within its borders have resulted in a malignant combination of rugged self-reliance and internalized self-hatred.
In the 1980s he was known for his defense of apartheid and his criticism of the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party in Pretoria, which he accused of terrorism. In 2013, five days after the death of Nelson Mandela, the great South African anti-apartheid leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, he said that the media idealized his figure.
This past weekend, the MAGA bootlicker and his wife recognized Valentine's Day with what they called a "rare date night." Naturally, Johnson posted their picture on X, representing a brief reprieve from his usual offering of bigoted screeds, bloodthirsty rants and shameful Tr*mp devotion. The next day, the happy couple shared another personal announcement: they're expecting their fifth child. "5 kids in 5 years," celebrated Johnson. "Make more Christians. Make more Americans. Praise God. This is how we win. Thank you for your prayers."
I almost went to Kamala Harris' inauguration. " Almost," of course, is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The former vice president came up short against Donald Trump's Third Reich... I mean, third run at the Oval Office. Harris, who would have been the first woman to ascend to the country's top office, is admittedly many stone throws away from my politics. But in a land of constant dreams deferred, I was struck that, maybe this time, the top-of-the-top may be finally cracked by a Black woman.
I've put up with a lot of it, but today I draw the line. I draw the line with this miserable imp when it comes to Charlie Kirk, she said. Okay, don't try me on this, but you keep trying me on this. You are an impostor, Ben. You're an impostor.
When George W. Bush chose Dick Cheney as his running mate in 2000, conservatives let out a sigh of relief-even some paleoconservatives did so. Word was that Pat Buchanan himself thought it was a good selection. It certainly seemed Bush could have done worse-he might have chosen John McCain, his primary rival and the man the neoconservatives at the Weekly Standard really wanted to be president.
Braeden Sorbo, the son of Hercules stars Kevin Sorbo and his wife, Sam, said if he had it his way, women in America would lose the right to vote. The 24-year-old actor and conservative influencer shared his bold claim while appearing on the Truth & Liberty YouTube show on Friday. Sorbo said a lot of young women tell him they wish the 19th Amendment was never ratified, because it led to a chain of bad events happening down the line, including abortion being legalized and feminism.
In mid-July, Pierre Poilievre was apparently feeling very glum. Sources close to the Conservative leader told the CBC that he was deliberately reducing his public appearances. He was doing some self-reflection. One confidant described him as "deflated." The idea that Poilievre-a man whose tight T-shirt chest puffing had become a campaign trademark-was hiding out in a corner like an old party balloon was indeed quite the image to contemplate.
Ken Beckley, a former head of the Indiana University alumni association, protested against Gov. Mike Braun’s removal of three alumni-elected Board of Trustees members, representing concerns over government influence in university governance.
"Harvey Milk was a patriot who stood for civil rights, and renaming the USNS Harvey Milk undermines the legacy of a political figure who embraced conservative values while advocating for justice."
