𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗬𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧-𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗢𝗡 𝗠𝗘𝗚𝗬𝗡 𝗞𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗬'𝗦 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬. The numbers on Candace Owens are genuinely staggering. Since January 2025, she has added an estimated 10.9 million followers across platforms. 805 million YouTube views. 81 million TikTok likes. She has grown from partisan provocateur into one of the most-watched voices on the American right. And along the way she has claimed Brigitte Macron was "born a man" — triggering a defamation lawsuit. She has promoted the theory that Charlie Kirk's ass∗ssination was an inside job with possible Israeli involvement — a theory the FBI has found no evidence to support. She has blamed Jews for the slave trade. She has called Zionism an ideology that justifies murder. Content so useful to the Iranian regime that the IRGC translated it into Persian and amplified it. The Hollywood Reporter's piece this week is really about Megyn Kelly — and the impossible bind the influencer economy has put her in. Kelly has built something real. Four million YouTube subscribers. 138 million views in February alone. A growing podcast network with genuine ambitions. She didn't want to blow that up by breaking with Owens. So when asked to distance herself, Kelly said: 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘴. 𝘍**𝘬 𝘰𝘧𝘧. That was the moment. Not the Iran war commentary. Not the "Israel firsters" line. That was when Kelly confirmed she understood exactly what Owens had become — and chose audience retention over principle anyway. THR frames it charitably: maybe it's ideological sympathy, maybe it's a commitment to free expression, maybe it's audience calculation. But the paper's conclusion is not charitable at all: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘒𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵. This is the logic that drives the outrage economy. Owens grows because controversy compounds. Every attack on her from the right becomes content. Every feud becomes a fundraiser. Every condemnation proves the conspiracy. The machinery doesn't care what you believe — it rewards whoever pushes hardest toward the edge. Ben Shapiro called it correctly months ago. Karl Rove named the coalition this week. The MAGA base has rejected it at the polls by an 83-6 margin. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

NYC Homeless Industrial Complex Paid for by YOU: You and your wife make $81K a year. That's the average household in New York City. The city spends $81,705 per homeless person per year. Not a household. ONE person. You work all day, every day. And the city burns through yours and your wife's ENTIRE SALARY on ONE person who is still sleeping on the sidewalk. The same guy you step over on the way to work. The one your kid asks you about. Still there. Still homeless. Still jobless. But don't worry. He's still in the system. And the system is eating VERY well. Average rent in NYC is $42K a year. You could get every homeless person their own apartment and still have $178 million left over. Build instead. Even with union extortion you could have housing for all of them in ~5 years. Houston did exactly this. Housing first. Spent less than any major city. Homelessness down 63%. 26,000 people housed. 90% stayed housed. New York triples spend, worse homelessness. You know...government things. So where tf did your money go? The city investigated 51 nonprofit shelter providers. Every one failed their audit. ALL 51. And nobody got fired. Your $400 million in taxes go to a nonprofit. The CEO pays himself $1 million. Hires his mother, sister, aunt, brother, niece. All six figures. Spends $460,000 on gym memberships. Funnels $32 million to his own companies. But blame the small business owners. Make sure people regret dying and tax their $750K shoebox apartments when they give them to their kids making minimum wage. One ran a nonprofit that owned a security company. Hired itself. Billed you $11 million. Make sure property taxes go up 9%. One put her kids on the payroll and lied about it to investigators. But blame the hardworking landlord who immigrated here from Greece and spent 50 years saving to buy an apartment building in Astoria. Make sure to add rent caps, so he's forced to sell and go on welfare to support himself in retirement. One took $1.2 million in bribes and sexually assaulted women in his own shelters. Women sleeping in beds your taxes paid for. 27 months. You'd get more for tax fraud. The 83-year-old woman in the shelter eats moldy bacon and sleeps next to rats. "A lot of money is going into this place," she said. "But it's not going to us." The city approved $117 million in invoices that literally said 'TBD' where the vendor name should be. $117 million. To "TBD." Fraud is the only industry in America where you can triple your budget, get worse results, have your entire supply chain arrested for fraud, and still ask for more. This is the Homeless Industrial Complex. The nonprofits hire themselves. The problem gets worse. They ask for more. $102 million in 2019. $456 million next year. 17 nonprofits control 65% of the city's shelter capacity. No accountability. Can't be fired. Bernie Sanders yells at you for not doing your fair share. You already gave them $81,000. They gave it to a CEO who spent it on Ferraris. They let a man scream at your wife on the subway at 11pm. They let your kid see someone defecating in public and ask you why and you don't have an answer. They want to cut 5,000 NYPD officers. They tell the builders they're the problem. They blame everyone who built NYC while smiling at the cameras. Then Hochul wonders why you moved to Florida. AOC will show up to the Met Gala in a dress that says TAX THE RICH and tell you Elon and Bezos are the problem. It's easier to blame billionaires than investigate the fake nonprofits whose pockets you line for the "greater good." She blocked 25,000 Amazon jobs from coming to Long Island City. Called it a victory. Same neighborhood where shelters are run by millionaires billing the city to hire their own families. New York City's budget is $127 BILLION. There has always been enough money. The person on the sidewalk is still on the sidewalk. The CEO is at dinner with Mayor Mamdani. Mamdani just needs 2% more. For the nonprofits. And Mamdani and Hochul will look you straight in the face and say PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE. Wonder why you're leaving. I hope you understand what's at stake.

Oops: Gazans who were reported as killed “journalists,” male “nurses,” and “lawyers,” now claimed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad as their martyred commanders and militants.

Mohammed Mohammed Nasser Kamel Abu Huweidi (ID#: 803434364, age 29), listed as a journalist for the privately owned al-Istiqlal news outlet, was a commander in PIJ’s Central Military Media Unit. Abu Huweidi was killed in a December 2023 airstrike.

📌A video of President Clinton saying, “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a deal; all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. They turned it down. They never wanted peace,” is making the rounds again. Mehdi Hasan responded by telling people to “Google Taba,” referring to the Taba Summit held January 21–27, 2001, just after Clinton left office. The implication is clear: that at Taba, Arafat either accepted a deal or was on the verge of doing so but ran out of time. That narrative is false, and it is disproven by Arafat himself 18 months later. Arafat never said yes at Taba. He didn’t attend, didn’t accept any framework, and didn’t move on core demands like a literal “right of return.” We know this was a central reason he rejected Camp David and the Clinton Parameters, and the claim that the Palestinians were prepared to accept a symbolic or limited return is simply not true (this is clear from the Palestinian reply to the Clinton Parameters). Arafat did not compromise on this point, and he did not accept any deal. Yes, the negotiators, the ones with no power to actually approve any deal, to actually settle the core issues (e.g. refugees) said they were close when the summit ended, but there was thus no deal, no near-deal, and no missed deal due to merely to time. And we know this with certainty because 18 months later, Arafat suddenly claimed he would accept Taba. The Guardian, hardly a pro-Israel outlet, ran the headline: “Arafat approves Taba plan too late,” and reported that Arafat acknowledged the prior offers were not good enough and that he had not accepted any deal at the time. Only afterward did he say he would accept them. If Arafat had truly been ready at Taba, he could have said yes when it actually mattered: under the Clinton Parameters. He had weeks to do so, even after skipping the early January 2001 White House meeting where he was supposed to meet Clinton to accept the deal, despite committing to attend and say yes. Prince Bandar recounts in detail how Arafat left town without giving any answer. This is no longer disputed among the key people involved. Bill Clinton, Dennis Ross, Martin Indyk, Prince Bandar, and even Saeb Erekat all acknowledge the same core fact: Ehud Barak accepted the Clinton Parameters. Arafat did not. Subsequent disclosures have only reinforced this. The Bandar interview, the release of Israel’s formal acceptance, the Palestinian response document, and Clinton’s repeated confirmations all point in the same direction. There was a path to full Palestinian statehood. It was rejected. And the reason this keeps getting rewritten by people like Mehdi Hasan is obvious. This was the pivotal moment. A sovereign Palestinian state was on the table. The conflict could have ended, no more “occupation.” The entire trajectory of the conflict could have been different. And when given another opportunity years later, Mahmoud Abbas did the same with Olmert’s offer, later admitting he walked away.

There are plenty of valid reasons to disagree with Netanyahu and his policies, but for crying out loud people, he is quoting a book by Will Durant (a guy you can find in every used bookstore). "Nature and history do not agree with our conceptions of good and bad; they define good as that which survives, and bad as that which goes under; and the universe has no prejudice in favor of Christ as against Genghis Khan." He's even quoted this same line in the past: jns.org/israel-news/ne…
Disclose.tv@disclosetv

NOW - Netanyahu: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

David Barnea, the head of Mossad, assessed on the eve of the operation that achieving regime change in Iran was a feasible objective. The professional assessment he presented to ministers was that if the military objectives of the operation were achieved — namely, severe damage to senior leadership figures, government institutions, and the regime’s coercive apparatus — then the Mossad and the Central Intelligence Agency would in turn know how to bring about a regime replacement, meaning mobilizing the Iranian people into the streets and identifying a governing alternative.

Hey, Tomi. You’re as big a dumb sh*t as you were years ago. Now, Tom, I know you radical anarchists are barely literate. So read this slowly with both eyes. We reached out to your buddy Joe after his post to set up a day and time. He ignored us. He won’t reply. Like everyone ignores you.  Does this help you understand, dimwit?  Thought I’d set the record straight POS. Back to your rock.

One final tell: what got buried. From 2020–2024, Joe Kent publicly called for destroying Iran's nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. Repeatedly. That record was almost completely absent from the conversation. Narrative laundering doesn’t only determine what to amplify, but what to erase.

Who amplified it? A coalition that should make you raise an eyebrow. 🇷🇺 Russian state TV (RT) 🇮🇷 Iranian state media (HispanTV) 🇶🇦 Hamas-aligned Quds News Network 🇹🇷 TRT (Turkish state broadcaster) 🇧🇷 Sputnik Brasil … AND Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, MTG, and Max Blumenthal. Russia, Iran, Hamas, and Alt Right dissidents. All posting the same thing. At the same time. Ask yourself: when does that happen naturally?

I have no clue why Massie is aligning himself with low-IQ third-worldism. One does not have to support Israel or the government, but the anti-Zionist movement is literally anti-Western. Prejean Boller calls us "Islamophobic" for speaking against terrorism and jihadism. It's nuts.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie

I support Carrie Prejean Boller 💯! She stopped by my office today with her husband, and I gave her one of the debt badges that I invented to show my appreciation for her bravery with respect to the White House Religious Freedom Commission. I’m inspired by her resolve.
