We’ve got Germans roaming the South talking about how awesome America is while Owens and Carlson try to convince you a dictatorship overrun with alcholics, a 75% divorce rate, and church attendance less than France is a traditionalist paradise.

Wild.

If you’re not following this German fans U.S. experience leading up to the World Cup, I 10/10 recommend it

Absolute cinema watching him go to our fast food spots & explore random locations. Shout out to Freddy too for doing the U.S. tour properly

Sorry your Evil Empire fell apart, m'dude. And condolences on your day job: blowing retards, grifters and clickwhores on behalf of your corrupt and murderous former KGB paymaster, Vladimir Putin.

The state of the Democratic party is such that it is electing a former Al-Qaeda volunteer who testified on behalf of the mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing. There is no GOP equivalent to this, not even close

Notice how there’s not a single “pride month” edition biopic, interview, puff piece, magazine cover, brave-and-stunning award, or daytime talk-show segment for the first gay Treasury Secretary.

At one point during the 2024 election cycle, Trump was promoting a massive "Great American Fair" for the 250th anniversary. He proposed the Iowa fairgrounds for it and promised each state their own pavilion

I was really excited about this idea. The 1893 World Fair (celebrating 400th anniversary of Columbus discovering America) was a massive event, years in the making. It's covered by history books.

I knew that 2 years was not really enough time to make something that tremendous happen, but I had hoped that Trump might push forward that vision and that some passionate people might bring it to fruition. I hoped to travel to it this summer with my kids.

What a wonder it would have been, to see each state proudly represent itself to have a grand event that brought us all together for a singular moment.

It's awful that such a grand idea has eroded into this sad display.

We're devastated to learn about the sudden passing of our friend, the legendary Tom Kane.

As the original voice of Takeo Masaki and countless other beloved roles over the years, Tom's iconic talent and unwavering kindness will last with us all our lives.

Our thoughts go out to his loved ones, and he will always be in our hearts.

Some of us on the right were and continue to be critical of Trump because of where he falls short of our principled views and/or policy preferences. It bothers us that Trump isn't concerned about the national debt, that he supports harmful tariff policies, that he abuses pardon powers etc.

None of that prevents us from supporting his administration when they do good things that are consistent with our principles. It certainly doesn't prevent us from cheering on border enforcement, encouraging a strong national defense/counter-terrorism strategy, or supporting better tax policies.

Other people formerly on the right have made opposing Trump the central principle of their political ideology. They determine all of their policy views based on Trump's current policy preferences. Then there is another group that determines all of its views based exclusively on Israel now. Again, their guiding principle is driven exclusively by opposition/hate. Both of these groups are now increasingly allying themselves with left-wing extremists because their guiding political principle is centered on things that have nothing to do with policy outcomes or what's good for America. Even if they sometimes call themselves "America First".

You will notice that we aren't the ones who changed any of our views. We aren't the ones suddenly pretending the threat from Islamic terrorism is overblown, that communism isn't that bad, or that Democrat extremism isn't a problem. We aren't the ones coordinating messaging with the left. We aren't the ones allying ourselves with Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur, Anna Kasparian etc., or making excuses for open bigotry on the left.

The mistake that some people have made is to assume that the group doing those things, which is now driven exclusively by hate (whether of Trump, Israel, Jews etc.) is still part of the right's coalition. They certainly aren't reliable elements of it, and there is no need to pander to them. Let them try to get power within their new coalition, while the right should focus on recruiting people who are driven by wanting competence and policy wins, not motivated exclusively by hate.

A few thoughts:

First, this is why I love working for DW. I've been at the company from year one. We aren't perfect. We swing big and that inevitably involves some big misses, but also some massive hits. Regardless of the ups & downs, as @BenShapiro lays out here, the core mission of the company has always been the same: promoting "truth & virtue & freedom." Conservatism is less of an ideology than it is simply a commitment to looking reality in the face & being honest about it, and then trying to do some good based on that reality. I know firsthand that’s our goal every day on @MorningWire. Again, we don't always do this perfectly, but we do it better than most of the outlets out there.

Second, the slings & arrows Ben & DW face are a product of DW having become, as Ben puts it, an American institution to be reckoned with. And he’s right: those on the Left & Horseshoe Right obsessed with taking this institution down are actually not fighting against us, but against our conservative core mission. But I'll bet on the conservative side every time because reality -- not what people want to be true, or dreamed to be true, or grievance conspiracism & calculated grifting -- remains undefeated.

As for our critics' claims of our imminent collapse: 6th largest podcast publisher on the planet with a reach of 41 million a month from just 11 shows. Hopefully we’ll keep “failing” like this for another decade.

Commit: Isaiah Hill
Ranking: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hometown: Indianapolis, IN.
Class: 2027.
Height/Weight: 7’0, 205.
Notables: #2 C in class of 2027 and #8 overall player, per ESPN.
Accolades: Marion County POY (2026), 2025 Peach Jam champion.
2026 Pike HS averages: 12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks.
Offers: PURDUE, Louisville, lil bro, Notre Dame, Illinois, Syracuse.

BB Comp: Kel’el Ware (Miami Heat).

Hill has near identical height (7’0), weight (205 vs. 230), wingspan (7’4”) and vertical (36”) as Ware and plays a very similar game (shot blocking, 3-pt shooting and catching lobs).

Rankings as HS seniors:
Ware: 7 overall, 3rd center.
Hill: 8 overall, 2nd center.

One thing Hill is already better at than Ware is running the floor - Hill is faster and runs like a gazelle. IMO, Hill will be drafted higher than #15 in the NBA draft (Ware’s draft spot) whenever he declares.

The state’s BEST play at PURDUE.

All fake. He gave the Iranian regime billions for terror abroad, missiles later fired at civilians, and genocide in Syria. He allowed the regime to preserve its enrichment capacity for later. He turned his back on pro-democracy protesters. Obama is the reason we had to go to war.
