Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com, The hashtag #ChinaLiedPeopleDied was recently sent trending on Twitter by “new right” pundit Michael Courdrey with the amplification of all the usual Trump bootlickers and their sheep-like followers, further feeding into the anti-China cold war hysteria conservatives have been aggressively pushing with increasingly frenetic urgency lately. Which is hilarious, since these are the same people who’ve spent the last three years making […]
CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp criticized conservative media outlets on Friday on Sebastian Gorka’s radio show for pushing “propaganda” against CPAC and President Donald Trump. The segment began with Gorka praising the communications team at CPAC, billing their performance as “masterful,” while applauding Schlapp’s response to the attendee who tested positive for the coronavirus. “I think that the biggest problem — it’s certainly a cancer — is […]
Most burgeoning crypto enthusiasts go through a phase in life where they think to themselves: “Bitcoin is neat, but it would be so much better if it could just do x and y?” At this point, they either decide to hop aboard a new blockchain project (typically seeking to own a larger fraction of the supply than the share of bitcoin they own), or they reject […]
CNN’s Dana Bash attributed President Donald Trump’s noticeably changed and more somber tone about the coronavirus outbreak to his having less time to indulge in his typical news diet of conservative media and talk with his circle of personal friends.

The communications strategy began backstage at the Conservative Political […]
Later today, I will cast my Super Tuesday Virginia primary vote for a Democrat: Joe Biden. There’s a first time for everything. Some people won’t like this decision. Supporters of Bernie Sanders (who, ironically, shouldn’t be considered a real Democrat) may resent the intrusion of conservatives like yours truly, especially when they learn that I am unlikely to vote at all in a general election (more […]
Young Americans Foundation (YAF), a conservative college advocacy group, says that the administration at Syracuse University blocked the public from attending a guest lecture from former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Although the university is spending $23,000 to bring President Donald Trump’s former spokesman and controversial Dancing with the Stars contender for the lecture that was supposed to be free and open to public, they […]
As the competitive Maine Senate race heated up last summer, the conservative news outlet Newsmax blared a warning to its audience: Democratic moneymen were pouring cash into an effort to flip one of Republicans’ most endangered Senate seats. “Progressive big-money donors are stepping up their crusade against centrist Sen. Susan Collins,” Newsmax senior editor David Patten wrote. “Advertising Analytics reports none of the $1.3 million spent […]
A speaker at CPAC claimed the late Princess Diana died not because of her tragic car accident, but because France’s socialized medicine prevented her from getting proper medical care. Conservative fears of socialized medicine — a policy that presidential hopefuls like Bernie Sanders have floated — hit a fever pitch at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday with a panel discussing how the late […]
Social media platforms accused of politically biased, selective enforcement policies will be allowed to continue discriminating against conservatives, according to a Wednesday court ruling from the Ninth Circuit court of appeals – which has been heavily criticized for anti-Trump rulings on immigration and other matters. The court rejected an argument by conservative radio talk show host Dennis Prager, who claimed that his conservative PragerU videos were […]
Naomi Seibt, a blonde German teenager, has become a U.S. think tank’s weapon of choice when it comes to combatting climate activist and global phenomenon Greta Thunberg. The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank that rejects the scientific consensus on climate change, labeled Seibt as “a fantastic voice for free markets and for climate realism” and has booked her to speak at CPAC later this week. […]
