Ben Shapiro was always a mirage. The article attributes the slow death of the DAILY WIRE primarily to the rise of anti-Semitic commentators like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, which is true but elides the "changing consumer habits" of right-wing media and the artificial hydroponics that sustained Shapiro in the first place. Ben Shapiro is a silver-spoon dork whose rich Hollywood parents bought him a career in punditry. He had a WND column when he was a teenager; don't try and tell me that he got that on merit. His entire pitch to the financiers who backed him was that he represented da yoof when his audience was the same boomers who watch Sean Hannity. He's a smug twerp whose voice dries out vaginas. Shapiro was pushed by the same evangelical Christian media complex that dominated the right-wing during the 2000s only to lose their credibility with the implosion of George W. Bush. Their message was never appealing to anyone under 55. There was always a small collective of Young Republican dorks at every college in the 2000s, but they were extremely uncool, obnoxious people. The only socially acceptable way to be right-wing was Ron Paul libertarianism (which burned itself out in its own way). Young people don't want to be crushed by the Catherine wheel of DEI and libtardery and be told that it's their own fault. "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" sells only to boomers because everyone else had to pawn their bootstraps to make rent. The rise of Trump revealed how hollow the evangelical media complex was, as "TROO CONSERVATIVES" like Shapiro whined about his uncouth attitude and his casual disregard for "conservative principles" like handing all our industry to China on a silver platter. Shapiro limped along due to the mass deplatforming of the MAGA right that occurred during Trump's first term. Remember the "Intellectual Dark Web"? That was some marketer's idea of what an "edgy" right-wing would look like. The MTV of discourse. When Twitter changed management in 2022, it revealed that Shapiro's audience was all smoke and mirrors. Of course, the new wave of low-IQ anti-Semites are being pushed just as much as Shapiro was. Nick Fuentes sought funding from Dan and Farris Wilks, the same billionaires who provided seed capital for DAILY WIRE and PragerU. Candace Owens? Pushed. Tucker Carlson? Pushed. Thiel Capital came very close to funding the alt-right in 2015-2016---and groups like TRS were explicitly seeking Thiel funding---before an implosion caused them to switch their support to the IDW because it was less embarrassing. Trust no bitch. The other factor in Shapiro's demise is the fact that the right-wing has been demographically replaced. Young Americans are browner and brownoids have no interest in Christianity or "personal responsibility conservatism." They may be anti-feminist, but they want to bang girls, not get married. They want fast cars, big houses, and bling bling. In other words, Andrew Tate---and people inspired like him---will ultimately define the American right-wing, not Shapiro or even Fuentes. Shapiro will struggle along in some capacity, but his influence will be deeply diminished. THE DAILY WIRE will either go down completely or shrink to become a glorified platform for Shapiro. No more dumb movies that rip off 20-year-old FUTURAMA episodes. The evangelical complex is done.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Iran is being slammed for causing an environmental DISASTER by frantically dumping their oil near Kharg Island, because the storage is filling up Tens of thousands of barrels spilled, and it's now piling up along the Persian Gulf coastline! Where is the left denouncing this? This is going to have horrific impacts on the ecosystem TRUMP UN AMBASSADOR MIKE WALTZ: "Iran is now attacking the environment in addition to civilian targets, humanitarian aid and civilian shipping." h/t @TheIranWatcher

🚨 NOW: A federal judge has just REFUSED to block Tennessee's new 2026 redistricting map, which eliminates the last remaining Democrat seat and makes the state 9R-0D ANOTHER WIN! Democrats are melting down after EVERY court loss, their era of racial cheating has ended 🇺🇸

To understand the influence of Christianity on our culture, two excellent movies to watch are Apocalypto and the Northman. Both have amazing visuals and cinematography. Both portray a totally non-Christian culture "from the inside". You get to fully inhabit the frame and mindset of that culture. And it feels utterly alien.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just issued an UNANIMOUS 9-0 ruling that freight brokers can be sued if they negligently hire companies with risky trucking practices. Time for companies to be held accountable for putting foreign truck drivers on U.S. roads.

🚨Supreme Court Ruling Unanimous Brokers are ACCOUNTABLE for negligently hiring unsafe motor carriers!

we shipped these jobs overseas so that baby boomers could buy cheaper plastic bullshit

The reaction from those that closely monitor the trucking industry is that of euphoria. Really good news.

🚨 The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal law does not shield freight brokers from state negligence lawsuits when they hire unsafe trucking companies.

Is this what the South rising again looks like?

Unforgivable.

@RepOgles @AndrewQuackson @SenTuberville Can it be passed in the senate with 50 votes? @grok

Excited to announce that my 83-page ASSIMILATION Act has been introduced. Months of labor were undertaken by my staff, @SenTuberville and myself in order to GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, as well as scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s. The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion. This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill. Some other things it does: • National Interest Standard • Stringent Character Tests • Mandatory E-Verify • Ends Chain Migration • Ends Diversity Lottery • GUTS Birthright Citizenship • WAY Tougher Asylum Standards • Stronger Public Charge Rules • 10 Year Citizenship Requirement • English & American Civics PROFICIENCY

I’m not sure a lot of people are going to realize what a huge deal this is and how it’s going to change trucking and delivery services over night.

The Iran war is going to lead to a boom in domestic energy production, just like the Arab oil embargo and the Iranian Revolution led to the 80s oil glut. More importantly, we're going to see Democrats backing oil and gas production out of political survival. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System was initially planned in the 1960s after oil was discovered at Prudhoe Bay. Libtards in Congress blocked its authorization for years with a changing litany of excuses. First they whined that it would harm Inuit tribes whose land the pipeline would cross. The pipeline consortium solved this by individually negotiating with tribes to compensate them for land use. Then libtards said the pipeline would destroy the environment. It would harm the caribou (hilarious given that caribou actually use the pipeline now for warmth). The 1973 oil embargo was the catalyst for the pipeline's construction. Americans were so angry about gas shortages that even Democrats had to start lobbying for its construction out of fear of losing reelection. Congress passed the pipeline authorization into law at the end of that year and construction began a few months later. Both Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford supported the pipeline. Jimmy Carter COULD have killed it when he took office in 1977, just like Biden killed Keystone XL, but did not do so because it would have been political suicide. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System went online in 1977 and while its impact was initially low, it ended up becoming a major contributor to the oil glut of the 80s, when oil prices collapsed to historically low levels. It helped break OPEC's then-monopoly on oil production and strengthened American energy independence. It also had some amusing knock-on effects; in Canada, low oil prices led to a budget crisis in Alberta, which had profited from high energy costs during the crises of the 70s. Environmentalism and NIMBYism with regards to infrastructure are luxury beliefs America cannot afford, especially now. Drill baby drill. We could potentially see 90s-style $0.99/gallon gas within our lifetimes.

Thanks to the 287(g) agreement signed by Laramie County Sheriff's Office in late 2025, their deputies have arrested hundreds of illegals on the streets of Wyoming. 287(g) enables local and state law enforcement to assist or conduct immigration enforcement in their jurisdiction.

🇳🇱 A Dutch town of 9,000 people has been in open revolt for 3 days straight The plan: drop 110 young male asylum seekers into Loosdrecht, a quiet commune that had zero say in the matter The response: massive public resistance

CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper says Iran and its proxies attacked U.S. troops and diplomats roughly 350 times in just 30 months before Operation Epic Fury. “That’s about every third day,” Cooper testified.

@whitesocksclips *Nick is playing to lose and Crowder is playing not to lose Fixed it for ya

Nick says that he is playing to win and Crowder is playing not to lose. "If you deport 500,000 people, that's nothing; we're not winning. If you have a war in Iran and it's ongoing, that's not winning. Time to flip over the table."

A new report finds that immigrant bond release has become rarer and more expensive than ever recorded due to the Trump admin. Bond denial now massively outpaces bond grants and the DHS is challenging many of the few requests granted. Relief for illegals is becoming a non-option.
