Somewhere along the line, somebody figured out that if you dress up control as care, people will hand over the keys and thank you for it. That is the whole sales pitch behind government censorship of free speech online. Forget the shadowy room and the black marker. Today the sell is softer. It arrives wrapped in language about safety, harm reduction, protecting kids, stopping misinformation, and keeping the internet civil. The method changed. The trade did not. You give up the ability to...

Democrats, put the champagne down. Some of you watched my recent video explaining why I could never vote for Donald Trump again, and you immediately assumed I had finally “seen the light.” You thought I regretted voting for Trump instead of a Democrat.

During a July 1, 2026, interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said the Democratic and Republican parties are too closely aligned on questions involving war and money. He then made his intentions clear: “I’m going to help build a third party.” He also said the...

The recent controversy surrounding CNN Trump election speech censorship is not simply about Donald Trump, the 2020 election, or whether every claim made during the speech was accurate.
