There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan. Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. “If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.” Read more: nymag.visitlink.me/KtpIKV





The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See has publicly rejected online claims that the Vatican granted Iran a unique or politically motivated diplomatic award, calling the allegation inaccurate and misleading. “Contrary to news reports, Pope Leo has not bestowed an exclusive special honor on the Iranian ambassador to the Holy See,” the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See said in a May 13 social media post. “This decoration is given to all accredited ambassadors to the Holy See after 2+ years of service and has been standard practice for many years.” The post comes after Iranian state media outlets reported that the Vatican honored Iran’s ambassador, Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari, with an award for “strengthening diplomatic ties and serving the cause of peace and dialogue.” The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that Pope Leo XIV awarded the “Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor to Iran’s ambassador” for his “efforts to promote peace, dialogue, and bilateral relations.” The report further claimed that “officials praised the Iranian embassy’s activities in advancing peaceful coexistence, wisdom, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue,” and that in the official decree, Leo “expressed appreciation for Ambassador Mokhtari’s services in strengthening ties with the Holy See." The Holy See has had diplomatic relations with Iran since May 1953. The U.S. Embassy explained that the award given to Mokhtari “is a personal recognition and does not imply support or opposition to any policy or country.” “Thirteen ambassadors were recently given this recognition. Previous U.S. ambassadors have all received the same,” the post noted. “Finally, the decoration was not given in person by the pope.” Vatican News reported that Mokhtari was among 13 ambassadors to receive the recognition for completing two years of service. The ceremony was presided over by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli, substitute for general affairs at the Secretariat of State, who presented insignia and official parchments to the diplomats. The Holy See Press Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles, a Catholic, described the incident as “a reminder about the ubiquity and power of propaganda, especially when we’re talking about the Iran war.” “It’s all propaganda,” Knowles said. “The Iranians are clearly making hay out of this rote procedure that the Vatican presented.” ewtnnews.com/world/us/u-s-e…



“We are not going to let you suffer alone… because we have not always been there for you.” @CardinalDolan, Archbishop Emeritus of New York, shared these remarks after receiving AJC’s Nostra Aetate at 60 Award, reflecting on the evolution of Catholic-Jewish relations—from a painful history mostly marked by indifference in the face of Jewish suffering to a relationship grounded in friendship, partnership, and solidarity against antisemitism. At a time of rising anti-Jewish hate, that solidarity and moral clarity matter more than ever.



🚨 URGENCE À AMSTERDAM : Des musulmans enragés, armés de bâtons et de planches, tabassent sauvagement des étudiants blancs à l’Université d’Amsterdam ! Ils hurlent que les Pays-Bas 🇳🇱 sont désormais un pays musulman et que les Blancs/non-musulmans n’ont plus rien à y faire. Vidéo choc : fumée, coups de matraque, jeunes à terre… l’Europe se fait piétiner sous nos yeux ! 😡🔥 #ImmigrationDeMasse #Insécurité #Islamisation #RéveilleToiFrance



🇺🇸🇮🇱 Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, on Israel: “There’s never been a country called Palestine. The Jews have the longest connection to that territory. It goes back to biblical times, thousands and thousands of years.” He’s 100% correct.




Benedictine College suspended students for a year after they distributed a flyer citing Popes Gregory IX, St. Pius X, Pius XII, St. Barnabas, St. John Chrysostom, Peter the Venerable, and Scripture, regarding the Jews, in response to the "Antisemitism" Conference the college held last month. We examine every claim — and whether the punishment was just. youtu.be/QMh6Yx4L6fQ?si…






Pope Leo awards 'highest diplomatic honor' to Iran’s ambassador to the Vatican — according to Iran’s IRNA Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari reportedly received the 'Ordine Piano', typically awarded to prominent figures recognized for strengthening relations, dialogue, and peace

Did the Vatican bestow an honor on Iran? Sort of… whatever it was- I consider it diplomatic malfeasance. Here’s a bit of tonight’s @IngrahamAngle:

My father has been the target of antisemitism his whole life. It has only strengthened our resolve to stand against all forms of hate. Proud that @OpenSociety is making a $30 million investment to build trust and solidarity across communities and keep people of all faiths safe.
