Donald Trump's MAGA allies denounced the real Super Bowl halftime headliner in September as "a demonic Marxist." While no actual demons populate the alternative bill, Kid Rock comes close.Two years ago, the self-taught white rapper, 55, famously shot up a case of Bud Light with an assault rifle to protest the beer brand's association with a trans woman.

On Sunday, J. D. Vance was presented with the simplest moral test: denounce commentators who traffic in medieval blood libels, who deny the Holocaust, and who endlessly harp on evil Jewish cabals. The test was forced on the vice president. By the time he addressed the Turning Point USA conference this past weekend, it had turned into a referendum on latter-day Father Coughlins who have acquired substantial and growing audiences on the right.

Turning Point USA's first AmericaFest without Charlie Kirk reveals ideological rifts within the conservative movement. Prominent conservative figures in the United States have clashed at Turning Point USA's annual conference, exposing the underlying rift within the ruling Republican Party and US President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) base.

We see how much weaker, in my opinion, the left was by not having a primary [in 2024]. I hope we have that competitive primary, she stressed.
