There is clearly a coordinated Vance 2028 effort (Rubio’s statements, Erika Kirk endorsement) but he deserves some of the same skepticism that once faced Harris. He has three more years of publicly defending an unpopular president, who’s trending downward. He’s lost his outsider credentials. Also MAGA may not do... show more

🇺🇸 SCOTT JENNINGS: ERIKA KIRK'S ENDORSEMENT OF JD VANCE FULFILLS CHARLIE'S DYING WISH AND LEGACY "[Erika's] carrying on [Charlie's] legacy in that regard. Look - there's a 99.9% chance JD Vance is going to be the Republican nominee and he'll have her support, but he's going to have the support of a lot of Republicans out there as well. This has everything to do with Charlie's wishes, Charlie's legacy, and Charlie's friendship with the vice president. Charlie Kirk and JD Vance were extremely close friends. Charlie Kirk supported JD. He helped Vance get elected to the Senate. He wanted JD Vance to be the next president." Source: CNN Panel Transcript

🚨 SCOTT JENNINGS SAYS IT PERFECTLY: The reason Erika Kirk endorsed JD Vance for president in 2028 is that it's what her husband WANTED and was going to do anyway.

The White House (and their media allies) are used to dictating narratives to their supporters — telling them what matters and why. But they can’t do that on the Epstein files, where concerns are uniquely bipartisan and driven by grassroots anger This is a Category 5 problem for Trump, as a key part of his political brand is being the Rich Guy against the establishment. Not right now. Epstein has placed him firmly within the elite cabal, and his refusal to embrace transparency only drives that pt home On CNN Inside Politics w/ Manu Raju

🚨 BREAKING: In a STUNNING moment, CNN was just forced to report that Donald Trump has 100% MAGA APPROVAL 100%. WOW 🔥 The kicker? The share of voters who call themselves "MAGA" is the *SAME* as when he won in 2024! "You don't have to be a GENIUS to know you can't go higher than 100%!" "Some Republicans disapprove...but they are NOT members of the MAGA movement." Q: But are people leaving MAGA? CNN: "In November 2024, 28% were MAGA. It's basically the SAME, 30%!" "The MAGA base is NOT SHRINKING — it's the SAME SIZE! If anything, it's slightly larger!" "That 100% that Trump has among MAGA GOP, is NOT an artifact of MAGA shrinking. It's just how strong Trump's grip is on the MAGA base!"

This young man’s girlfriend was cleaning his house to be nice. She stumbled upon a strange room hidden behind some a loosely installed panel. Inside she saw come blankets and an old phony her boyfriend claimed he lost. She then confronts him about it and he is nervous and shaken. He asks her not to record. He’s adamant that he has no knowledge of this room. What makes it weird is his reaction, he doesn’t want any video of this but at the same time denying the knowledge of its existence. Do you think it’s some weird room he uses as maybe a safe room or worst or do you think he really has no idea what this is?

Russia on the brink of defeat: more and more talk about a shift in the war in Ukraine’s favor According to international politics professor Scott Lucas, the May 9 parade in Moscow showed not strength but vulnerability: Russia was afraid of attacks and effectively tried to “stage a truce.” He notes that Ukraine is not only defending itself but also choosing targets and timing of pressure — from refineries and ports to facilities deep inside Russia. In his view, this is a key shift in the balance of power. Lucas also argues that Russian statements about negotiations do not indicate readiness for compromise: in the Kremlin’s logic, it is still about Ukraine’s capitulation, and peace talks are used as a tool of pressure.

HUGE NEWS ON 2028: JD Vance was asked about 2028 after being told "every straw poll has you ahead by margins," and his response is EXACTLY what we need to hear: "You know, I don't see some of these polls, but if you're right, I think it's because people are happy with President Trump's agenda." "I'm loyal to the president, I'm loyal to the agenda, and if we do great things for the country for the next three years, I don't worry about the politics, it'll worry about itself." I cannot wait for the inevitable to happen. Vance is going to be a PHENOMENAL President, but there is A LOT to do between then and now! WE CAN'T GET COMPLACENT!

So Michael Knowles has decided to make a statement on Candace Owens. No, he doesn’t condemn her actions. He condemns us—who are condemning her actions. No, I’m not kidding. He summarizes what Candace Owens and her cult are doing as “criticizing and antagonizing” Erika Kirk. No, Michael Knowles. That’s not what’s going on. Candace is slandering Erika Kirk—of conspiring to murder her husband and the father of her children, Charlie Kirk. She is also accusing her of sexually grooming minors—both with zero evidence whatsoever. That is not merely “criticizing” and “antagonizing” Erika Kirk. That is one of the most wicked things you can accuse someone of baselessly. It's also interesting that you say we're obsessed with spending our time defending Erika Kirk yet you don't mention how obsessed Candace is in trying to destroy Erika and TPUSA? The fact that you are more concerned with that and the way we are critiquing Candace rather than what she is doing is very revealing of yourself. Michael Knowles

Bill O’Reilly just RIPPED APART the “free speech” spin surrounding Jimmy Kimmel. He turned the tables with one brutal fact that blows the left’s entire narrative to pieces: “Kimmel is the VIOLATOR of free speech. He’s not the victim. Kimmel has not put on a non-liberal voice in more than three years on his program. Three years!” O’Reilly stressed. Directing his attention to all of the public stations, O’Reilly lamented, “NO ONE who’s not a liberal gets on any of these shows.” “THAT is a violation of freedom of speech.” Find more stories like this at

Mark Levin says he trusts President Trump on a ceasefire with Iran but warns the threat isn’t over, arguing the regime will regroup with help from China and Russia: “I trust President Trump. I know his heart. I know he wants to do the right thing. I know that he has people telling him to do something else, and other advisors telling him something different, but he’s the most understanding and competent of the bunch. And he’s the President of the United States, and his instincts are very, very good. But I would say this: this enemy is still the enemy. They’re still surviving. Their military may be destroyed, but the Communist Chinese will still help them, and the Russians will still help them rebuild. So this thing’s not over. And it’s not that I’m a warmonger—it’s that they’re the warmongers. It’s not that I’m an interventionist—it’s that they’re the interventionists.”

Andrew Wilson: "My Problem with Charlie Kirk" In an April 2025 episode of The Crucible, Andrew Wilson shares some of his thoughts about Charlie Kirk and TPUSA. “He’s [Charlie Kirk] more of an events coordinator than he is a debater or a person who really has good political moxie.” “They’re [TPUSA] full of political pundits, and the political pundits are kind of like second rate.” “Do I agree with the amount of women that represent TPUSA who are clearly feminist in disguise? No. That’s a big big big problem, and I wish that they would do something about that.” He also alleges that TPUSA "stole" the concept of "college campus thing" from Stephen Crowder's "Change My Mind" debate series.

Is Madani corrupted? Rafizi’s sudden rant about corruption certainly sounds like someone who’s finally seen the inside of the machine. His tone is clear: frustrated, exhausted, and acting like he just discovered what everyone else already knew. Once he entered government, he finally saw for himself what used to be just rumours - that many so-called “anti-corruption fighters” only fight corruption when they’re not getting a share. Give them power, positions, or opportunities, and suddenly they go quiet and change their tune. This is what Rafizi has just realised: • Some attack corruption only because others are taking the profits. • Some “fight” corruption while waiting for their turn to sit in the same seat. • Some defend corruption when their own camp does it, but scream when the other side does. In short, many people hate corruption only when they’re not involved. But once they’re inside government, suddenly everything becomes “negotiable.” Rafizi has finally discovered the reality of Madani politics - corruption is alive and well.

Nick Fuentes on Donald Trump’s sick and demented comments about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. “When Trump goes and makes fun of a celebrity that dies, this is more cowardice.” “Charlie Kirk was murdered, and what actually happened in the aftermath of that? … just stop with the larp … Trump is a sick person. He’s a sick, vain, narcissistic person.” “Charlie Kirk was his close personal friend. Charlie Kirk in many ways got Trump elected. Charlie Kirk got shot in the head. Trump could not care less.” “You get some old Hollywood guy, who’s on TV, attack Trump as a partisan Democrat … when that guy dies Trump is going to gloat. Because that is the sort of thing he cares about, because he’s vain.” “This is ugly rhetoric … it’s actually evil … nobody deserves that. I don’t care what their politics are … it’s despicable to make fun of that.” “Who could honest to God look at that and laugh?” “There was never anything there … it was always empty … I think he believes, honestly, in nothing.”

Jay said that Engenes keep telling them to take a break, but he’s pretty sure that when they do, we will end up missing them and feeling sad. He admitted touring is tiring, but they really love what they’re doing. Being an idol is tough, but for him, it’s totally worth it. He’s proud of what they’ve achieved and would rather put in the hard work doing something he love than waste that effort on something he’s not.

🇨🇴🔥 "In Cuba you have to kneel, because here, there is a jaguar about to wake up." Gustavo Petro just publicly challenged Marco Rubio. At an event today, Colombia’s president dared the U.S. Secretary of State to “try” putting him in prison, mocking Rubio’s tough talk: “If he wants to put the orange jumpsuit on me — try it.” Petro said Colombians “do not kneel” to foreign pressure and warned that the country knows these “moves” after decades of conflict. He also took aim at Rubio’s Cuba obsessions: “We are not guilty of what happened to his grandfather and his father. His past hatreds aren’t Colombia’s problem.”

There are people in the Israeli government that I love. I have a ton of respect for the Jewish religion.” ROGAN: “Do you think Trump still would’ve attacked Iran if he wasn’t influenced by Israel?” VANCE: “Yes I do.” ROGAN: “Do you think Americans still support Israel?” VANCE: “Israel is losing their support from the American public. Even President Trump has admitted that.” ROGAN: “Is it true that Israel has a huge influence over American politics?” VANCE: “Yes they do try to influence American politics, but a lot of countries do.” ROGAN: “They don’t try to influence as much as Israel does though right?” VANCE: “Israel is more effective at it than other countries. They’re a country of 9 million people. America is a country of 330 million so why wouldn’t they try to move us in a certain direction?” ROGAN: “It’s more than that. There’s a real concern whether or not our politicians are America first or Israel first.” VANCE: “I’ve been accused of being an antisemite.”

I don’t trust people who counter-signal JD Vance. His background raises fair questions, but his record speaks louder. Vance is one of the strongest vice presidents we have had. He is articulate, understands the real issues, and rejects both neoliberal and neoconservative thinking. In his first major speech after taking office, he made it clear that the health of families and communities matters more than GDP. He has also refused to denounce dissident voices on the right despite intense pressure from the establishment and media. That kind of principle is rare. You can raise concerns about his ties or past associations, but turning him into an enemy based on conjecture ignores what he has actually done and said. Vance is focused on what matters. That is why he deserves support, not constant attacks from our own side.

On the last day of campaigning, Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) broke down. It is sometimes difficult to see a grown man tear up during an election campaign. Such behaviour, after all, isn’t expected of politicians. We have reduced our profession into a cruel, heartless one. Yet, this rare moment of vulnerability was telling: over the last ten days, I have observed a man who leads not with his mind but his heart. Of course he has degrees from MIT, of course he’s been a brilliant Finance Minister, of course he’s one of the sharpest brains around - but what sets him apart is his deep kindness and commitment to a politics of care. What could be a better testament to that politics than the fact that there was not a single dry eye in the rally he addressed? As Tamil Nadu heads to the polls on the 23rd of April, I am certain that PTR will win from Madurai. What I more certain of, however, is that he will have won many hearts - not only in Madurai, but far far beyond.
