Megyn Kelly is back at it again—because of course she is. In “Grandma Groyper Strikes Again,” I break down how her newest meltdown fits the same old pattern: white grievance, cruelty as content, and the constant need to drag the moral floor lower for clicks.
Grandma Groyper Strikes Again
This is how “very stupid” becomes “the new middle ground.”

Bad Bunny didn’t break America—he just exposed how fast MAGA will rage about Spanish lyrics while the Epstein files keep unfolding and elites stay protected. Transparency isn’t optional. If we can’t demand it, we don’t deserve to lead.

Bad Bunny Broke MAGA’s Brain While the Epstein Files Burned the House Down
While world leaders apologize and lawmakers demand answers, Trump’s movement chooses culture-war tantrums over transparency—and protects the powerful men it swore it wanted exposed.

American Values, According to MAGA:
Bad Bunny performs, the NFL goes global, and the culture-war crowd completely loses its mind. From fake outrage to Kid Rock tears, this meltdown tells you everything.

The Kiddie Table Caucus
Trump posted racist primate imagery of the Obamas. Trumpworld deleted it. And Black MAGA still bent itself into knots defending it. If your power depends on laughing on cue, you’re not at the table—you’re at the kiddie table.

GOP has a celebrity cheat code—and Democrats keep acting like fame is automatically “seriousness poison.” My latest for Lincoln Square breaks down why Republicans weaponize celebrity so well, and why Dems keep learning the wrong lessons.

Why the GOP Has a Celebrity Cheat Code
Republicans have a long history of running actors, reality stars, and television personalities — and winning. But Democrats have a more complicated relationship with celebrity.
