Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, defended Carlson from “the venomous coalition attacking him. I disagree with, and even abhor, things that Nick Fuentes says, but canceling him is not the answer either.”

YES. CANCELING THIS FKG RACIST NAZI POS IS. THE. ANSWER.

💯"To Trump, and to the media environment in which he thrives, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like."

Canada’s anti-tariff ad was an incursion in the trade war, but there’s another reason it may have bothered Trump.

How much more evidence does America need that the White House is "for sale to highest bidders" and "biggest donors?"
Transparency is NOT what this regime does. Names & donation amounts being kept "SECRET."
