Douglas Murray: Conspiracy kook Tucker Carlson is no conservative . . .

. . .and no friend to Charlie Kirk and JD Vance  

"It’s a heck of a thing to claim to be friends with someone and then bring a guest onto your show who not only hounded your friend in life but mocks and smears his widow after his death."

Tucker Carlson hosted Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast.

   "Tucker Carlson is not a good friend.

   "Just a few years ago, when the podcaster was pretending to be friends with President Trump, Carlson was caught privately saying of Trump: “I hate him passionately.”

   "In September, another person whom Carlson claimed to be friends with — Charlie Kirk — was shot dead. Carlson used the aftermath of his friend’s assassination not to demand that the suspect in the shooting be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He didn’t seize the moment to insist that perhaps the radical left dial down its hateful rhetoric against conservatives and Republicans. Nor did he keep attention focused on the trans-extremist links of the alleged shooter.

   "No — Carlson chose to use the occasion to deflect attention from the perpetrator seized by the FBI and return to his pet obsession: the Jews.

   "In the wake of the assassination, Carlson was one of a number of kooky online influencers who suggested that Kirk’s views on Israel had been changing and that perhaps for this reason, the state of Israel had something to do with his murder. 

   "Then this past week, Carlson proved again what an appalling person he has become. He invited onto his show an avowed Holocaust denier and racist, Nick Fuentes.

   "We don’t need to linger here over all the horrifying bile that Fuentes has spewed out to his online followers. It is enough to say that he is so toxic, he could almost have been invented by the radical left as a way to delegitimize the political right in this country.

   "Any normal person would want to keep a million miles away from such a snarling, ugly actor. But if anyone was to sit down and give Fuentes one of the largest audiences of his career, you would have thought that there would be some hostile questions. The kind of relentlessly hostile questioning Carlson can do — such as in his recent astoundingly hostile interview with Ted Cruz.

   "But no — Carlson used his hours with Fuentes to simply launder Fuentes’ reputation and try to give him a veneer of reasonableness and respectability." . . . More...

Annn Coulter asks: Which Bullet Would You Take Back?

"That’s why, after completely impartial investigations by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Biden Department of Justice, Officer Byrd was cleared of all wrongdoing. Indeed, he was hailed as a hero."

"President Trump has racked up so many “Pinocchios” from The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker,” it’s a blessing we have the mainstream media to give us the unbiased truth.

"Thanks to them, here’s what we know FOR A FACT about last week’s shooting in Minneapolis:

— Renee Good was just a mother — not an activist!

"YES! Precisely! Except even The New York Times was forced to admit that Ms. Good was “participating” in an anti-ICE protest “when she was killed.” Her wife, Becca, who leapt out of the car to film Ms. Good interacting with ICE officers, can be seen on camera taunting them, saying “We don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It’ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. ... You wanna come at us, you wanna come at us, I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.”

— Ms. Good wasn’t interfering with police, she was innocently driving through the neighborhood ...

"YES! Precisely! Except she was intentionally blocking traffic, having stopped her van at a right angle in the middle of the street, then refusing to move. In the Times’ version, Ms. Good’s car was merely “blocking part of a road.” True, only the part covered by the length of her car. By that logic, the ICE officer only shot a “part” of her brain.

"Expert’s Corner: If you’re going to go with “a mother innocently driving by,” try to do it in a state where the Democratic Lt. Gov. has not been hectoring residents to “put their bodies on the line” to protect illegals from being “kidnapped” by ICE.

— and was POLITELY answering the officers’ questions ...

"YES! Precisely! Except agents weren’t asking any questions: They were telling Ms. Good to get out of her car. When a law enforcement officer tells you to get out of the car, you have to get out of the car. You don’t get to say, “I’m not in the mood today.”

— but their instructions were confusing, so she simply did what anyone would do, and tried to flee ...

"YES! Precisely! Except, “Get out of the car” is pretty clear. Instead of complying, Ms. Good stepped on the accelerator, as her wife was shouting, “Drive, baby, drive!” . . .More...

The Mamdani government: Gen Z's Valhalla

Mamdani crime transition advisor busted in resurfaced video claiming she didn’t care if protestors burned Target down to the ground,  insinuating that demonstrators learned “all violence” from white people, newly resurfaced footage shows.  Video

"Tamika Mallory, who was among those tapped to serve on Mamdani’s community safety transition team, made the remarks during a fiery rally in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s murder in 2020."

Zara Rahim, 34, a former Barack Obama staffer who also worked for Hillary Clinton, acts as a senior adviser to Mamdani.  

. . ."Rahim isn’t the only one with close ties to Soros in Mamdani’s camp.

"Diplomat and Obama-era Democrat Patrick Gaspard considers the political power player a “friend,” according to social media, and served as president of Soros’ Open Society Foundation between 2017 and 2020. "  . . .

Zohran Mamdani’s brain trust is full of young, privileged lefty radicals with little government experience — who could one day lead NYC  "But Mamdani has done little after clinching the Dem nomination in June to build up a strong stable of seasoned hands or those bearing the calluses of the working-class voters whom he champions. Out of roughly 20 operatives in Mamdani’s inner circle, eight are under 36 years old"

"Three of those politicos have ties to Soros, the progressive activist and investor — and about half a dozen grew up in million-dollar pads, according to Zillow estimates, with access to celebrities and private schools."  . . .

. . . "A strong collective of Zohran Mamdani’s core brain trust are 30-somethings or even younger Gen Zers with little to no experience in government — but long histories of radical left-wing politics, a review by The Post found." . . .

. . . “We’re getting ready for another administration of shocking naïveté,” one Democratic operative said." . . .

“Notwithstanding (former Mayor Bill) de Blasio retreads, the Mamdani administration will be even less experienced at government than Mayor Mamdani himself. For a city government the size of New York, that’s an operational nightmare. Good luck with the budget and unions.”

5 little girls may have ended trans madness

"Their refusal to bend to accept boys as girls drew support from the Supreme Court on Tuesday."

"On April 18, 2024, Becky Pepper-Jackson participated in the Harrison County Middle School Championships at Liberty High School. As BPJ of Bridgeport Middle School stood waiting for his turn, Emmy Salerno and four other girls from Lincoln Middle School took their turns at the shotput. Each stepped into the ring and then stepped out, forfeiting the match in protest to having to compete against a boy.

"Two days earlier, BPJ had won an appeal from the Fourth Circuit to enjoin the state’s law that bars boys from participating in girls sports.

"Then Attorney General (now Governor) Patrick Morrissey said this was not the last you would hear of the battle between the state and the well-funded LGBT crowd. He was right.

"On Tuesday, Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments on West Virginia v. BPJ and a similar Idaho case. The Idaho case was heard first, followed by West Virginia. Justices heard the cases for more than 3 hours.

"Under FJB, Democrats changed the definition of Title IX funding for girls’ sports to include boys in dresses. Along with Obama’s lifting of the ban on Medicaid paying for transgender cosmetic surgery, this led to the litigation heard on Tuesday.

"The oral arguments did not go well for LGBT Inc. Justice Alito toasted Kathleen Hartnett of the ACLU in the Idaho case. ["roasted?]

ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman?

HARTNETT: We do not have a definition for the court.

ALITO: How can a court determine whether there’s discrimination on the basis of sex, without knowing what sex means?

"According to Democrats, not knowing what a woman is qualifies her to be on the Supreme Court." . . . Much more on that here.

UN to Censor All Criticism of the Climate Agenda as Whistleblower Exposes it as a Total Scam

Gatestone Institute  

"The United Nations is trying to control what people can hear, read and think about climate change just when social media companies like Meta are reversing their years-long policy of 'fact-checking,' climate change policy debate—which Meta admits resulted in censorship."

"The UN is shutting down criticism of the ongoing climate scam: At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), held in Brazil in November 2025, several states endorsed the UN's "Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change, an initiative recognizing and trying to combat the rise in climate disinformation in media and politics."

"The UN declaration is professedly a pledge to "fight false information" about climate change.

" 'In the era of disinformation, obscurantists reject not only scientific evidence but also the progress of multilateralism," said Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in his opening address at the conference. "They control algorithms, sow hatred, and spread fear. They attack institutions, science, and universities. It is time to once again defeat the denialists."

"Get it? Those who disagree with the UN and WEF agendas on climate change, regardless of their scientific credentials, are "denialists" who must be "defeated."

"The declaration has already been endorsed by 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, and the Netherlands.

"Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus and visiting fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, wrote in March 2025 about the initiative presented at COP30:...

NYU Deletes Extremist Mamdani Housing Czar’s Information From Website As Cea Weaver Faces ‘Harassment’ Over Calls To ‘Impoverish the White Middle Class’

 Washington Free Beacon  

"Weaver burst into tears when reporters asked her about her claim that ‘homeownership is racist’—and the fact that her mom owns a $1.6 million house"

"New York University has taken down the page for a class taught by New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D.) housing czar, Cea Weaver, after Weaver’s anti-white social media posts and communist views resurfaced this month. An NYU professor who has worked with Weaver told the Washington Free Beacon the school deleted Weaver’s information to protect her from "harassment."

"Gianpaolo Baiocchi, a professor of sociology who founded the university’s Urban Democracy Lab, said NYU "took her page down to protect her privacy" upon learning "of the harassment she was facing." Baiocchi, who like Weaver was named to Mamdani’s transition team late last year, was arrested for participating in a pro-Hamas encampment at the university in the spring of 2024.

"Baiocchi did not specify the content of the "harassment" Weaver faced, but he may have had in mind an incident last week when reporters confronted Weaver about her past statements that included denouncing private property as a "weapon of white supremacy," calling to "impoverish the *white* middle class," and arguing that "homeownership is racist." Weaver burst into tears when reporters asked how she could square her attacks against homeowners with the fact that her own mother owns a $1.6 million property in Nashville.

"Weaver taught "Community Organizing + Advocacy Skills," a one-credit class offered through the university’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, during the fall of 2025. NYU wiped the course page from its website last week as Weaver’s radical views came to light, though archived versions remain available." . . . More...

Who Funds the Groups Harassing ICE Agents in Minnesota?

The Left's Premier Foundations and Dark Money Networks Have Given Millions, Records Show.

Professionally printed signs and videos

"When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.

Click to enlarge

"At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means tormenting ICE agents on the ground. The group holds in-person "action trainings" on how to "stop ICE & build a revolution." It also maintains a running list of the Twin Cities hotels housing ICE agents and organizes late-night "noise demonstrations" aimed at making it "impossible" for those hotels to operate.

"Sunrise is bankrolled by a who's who of deep-pocketed left-wing organizations. Open Society Foundations has sent it $2 million since 2019, according to its grant database. Half of the money supported general "social welfare activities." The Ford Foundation contributed $150,000 in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, while the MacArthur Foundation—the 12th-largest private charity in America—gave $250,000 in 2024, according to tax filings and grant disclosures. Sunrise says it generally rejects "checks that come with expectations of input on our strategy." It also says donations go to support its local chapters with "materials, housing, technology, food, travel, training expenses, and more."

"Sunrise Twin Cities has collaborated with two other local groups to drive anti-ICE demonstrations: Unidos MN and Defend the 612.

"Unidos, an "immigrant-led, BIPOC majority, multiracial, state-wide organization," leads a "rapid response" network through its affiliate group, Monarca." . . . More here, including training methods...

Blackburn challenges Jackson to define ‘woman’ in Supreme Court transgender sports cases

Supreme Court Hears Arguments On State Laws Protecting Women’s Spaces In Sports  

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit also concluded that the law discriminates on the basis of sex, because only the athletes on women’s and girl’s teams are subjected “to invasive sex verification procedures to implement the law.”

West Virginia adopted its law protecting women’s sports in 2021 but was sued by the mother of a now 15-year-old male student who identifies as female and who has taken puberty blockers and hormone therapy. 

The Absolute Absurdity of Ketanji Brown Jackson – RedState     "A lot has been said over the years about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson being the most intellectually void member of the Supreme Court in history. Tuesday was a reminder that it hasn't been nearly enough. 

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and another case involving whether states can limit "transgender" participation in women's sports. As expected, Jackson led the way in producing viral moments, once again stating she's "not a biologist" while uttering the word, and I use that term lightly, "cis-ginger." . .. 

Washington Examiner   "Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) renewed her criticism of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Tuesday as the Supreme Court heard arguments over whether states can enforce sex-based rules in school sports.

"In a radio interview, Blackburn referenced Jackson’s past refusal to define the word “woman” during her 2022 confirmation hearings, suggesting the issue remains relevant as the court considers cases involving transgender athletes.

“ 'I think it’ll be interesting to see if today she says she has no opinion because she’s not a biologist,” Blackburn said in the radio interview.

"The Supreme Court is reviewing laws from Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit transgender athletes who identify as girls from competing on girls’ and women’s sports teams. The cases center on whether those policies violate Title IX and the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Ketanji Brown Jackson Is a Painful Reminder of Biden's Lunacy  . . . "Now we have the worst Supreme Court justice in history involved in what will be a very important decision. That's a double shot of awful from the Biden legacy. 

"The worst part about the whole Ketanji Brown Jackson situation is that she's just 55 years old, which is fairly young in SCOTUS justice years. She could be around for a very long time, reminding us of the Biden wrecking ball. If the Dems ever do manage to flip the court while she's on it, we're all headed to the gulag." . . .

Justice Alito Obliterates Trans Ideology Effortlessly in Oral Arguments 

. . . "For instance, when transgender activists are asked a simple question — “What is a woman?” — the response is usually a circular word salad claiming that “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.” Using a word to define itself explains nothing, and that logical void is exactly what Alito went after, exposing how much of this ideology collapses under basic scrutiny.

"How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?" Alito asked Hartnett.

"And Hartnett's response was as telling as it was moronic." . . .

Video: Spencer Pratt Hands Karen Bass Her...Patootie After She Says He's Running for Mayor to Sell Books –

She knows this how...?

 RedState  

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continually pat themselves on the back for spearheading the recovery effort, but their words are a stark contrast from the reality I saw when I recently drove through Pacific Palisades." 

"Failed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass accused challenger Spencer Pratt of "profiting off" the Palisades Fire and, through her spokesman, claimed that his mayoral run was simply a publicity stunt to drive sales of his book, "The Guy You Loved to Hate," which will be released at the end of the month. Judging by Pratt's perfect mic-drop video response, Karen's going to need to take some remedial communications classes to keep up during this campaign.

. . . "Just why does he have a book deal? Pratt enlightened Bass, letting her know that the book deal came because of the fire that burned down his home.

"Okay Karen Bass, you got me. I'm running for Mayor and I have a book coming out, but the only reason I have a book deal is because I'm standing in the rubble of my home, which you let burn to the ground. Two weeks after I lost every possession that my family ever owned, a publisher reached out to me and asked me if I would write a book. I wrote the book because I had nothing and needed to put food on the table for my kids."

"Fathers have an instinct to protect and provide for their family, and Pratt is no different. As part of protecting his family, he dove into what caused their home to burn, and found a massive, corrupt machine running the city and endangering its residents. Sadly, he didn't find anyone working to fight for the community, and knew it would be up to him. He continued:  

" 'The last year has been an incredibly eye-opening journey, mostly hard and heartbreaking as I waited for someone to stand up for my community. As the year was coming to a close, in the darkness of December, I saw that no one was willing to fight, and that's when I decided that I needed to run for Mayor, and that I needed to announce this on the anniversary of the worst day of my life.

" 'Karen Bass wants you to think that I'm running for Mayor because I want to sell more books. Right. Because coming after the machine is notoriously great for people in the entertainment industry.'

"While Newsom has a book coming out in a few weeks in anticipation of a presidential run, and two other people connected to the Palisades Fire have books already out, Bass didn't accuse them of profiting off disaster. " . . .
