US President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr have gone on the warpath against Big Tech, unveiling proposed reforms to the firms’ Section 230 liability that would curtail their ability to effect political censorship. Singling out Twitter’s censorship of “conservative views,” the president warned the major tech platforms that the days of their exercising unrestrained political influence were numbered. He was speaking on Wednesday at a roundtable discussion with Attorney General William Barr, nine of his Republican state counterparts, and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), one of Congress’ most vocal critics of Big Tech. Big Tech has “used their power to […]

Conservatives are slamming mainstream media outlets after their almost identical coverage of the Senate Democrats’ decision to vote against a coronavirus relief bill appeared to blame Republicans for the “failure.” After months of negotiations, a coronavirus stimulus package, which included funding for schools and Covid-19 testing, unemployment benefits, and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), was voted down by every Democrat in the Senate on Thursday. The only Republican to join them was Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). Needing 60 votes to pass, the bill earned a 52-47 outcome and it’s now unlikely a coronavirus stimulus package will pass before November’s presidential election. […]
Black Lives Matter extremists went to a pro-Trump rally in Beverly Hills looking for a fight on Saturday night, and they sure found one. There were multiple brawls as conservatives refused to back down or cower before the mob.

Following the arrest of former Trump campaign strategist Steve Bannon on money laundering charges, conservatives took to social media to complain the alleged crimes of the Clintons and other Democrats are being ignored. Bannon was arrested on Thursday and charged in Manhattan federal court with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. The charges, which carry a prison sentence of up to 20 years, stemmed from his alleged misuse of funds donated to build a wall on the US border with Mexico. Also on rt.com Steve Bannon & 3 others ARRESTED, charged with border wall fundraiser fraud He’s hardly the […]
Much has been made of the Extreme Telethon Energy of the virtual Democratic National Convention, which aired its third night Wednesday with segments shot from all over the country. Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson sang. Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, and, in a brief standout moment, Gabrielle Giffords delivered moving speeches. Kamala Harris made history. Moderating it all, an inspired choice of A-list actress in an inspired pin-stripe pantsuit, was Kerry Washington, in full Olivia Pope mode, staring into the camera and pleading with earnestness typically reserved for when there is a toll-free 1-800 number on the bottom of the […]
Pepsi is one of those American brands that turned over the reins to far left operatives who hate conservative Americans. Earlier this week Pepsi retweeted a video of Tucker Carlson “losing it” when he was corrected on his pronunciation.

It’s clear enough that Ben Shapiro and Republican candidate James P. Bradley’s puritanical pearl clutching over Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s (censored!) music video “WAP,” which stands for Wet-Ass Pussy, is largely irrelevant. Shapiro’s and Bradley’s statements decrying the explicit message of the song and the (un)dress in the video constitute the kind of performative moral panics that are so baldly opportunistic as to render them banal. (Though, aside from his ranty and tedious video, Shapiro’s tweets express a bizarre curiosity about the rappers’ vaginal health in which he solicits input from his “doctor wife”.) Yet, here I am writing […]
By Graham Dockery, Irish journalist, commentator, and writer at RT. Previously based in Amsterdam, he wrote for DutchNews and a number of local and national newspapers. America’s love affair with the pickup truck is the latest battlefield in the unending culture wars, with liberal pundits decrying these 4,000-pound killing machines, and conservatives clinging to their beloved Rams and Silverados. After an oblivious pickup driver nearly ran Dan Neil over in a Costco parking lot, the Wall Street Journal columnist echoed the arguments of the gun control crowd and focused his attention on the tool itself, and not the user. Why, he […]
A new poll by the Cato Institute shows 62 percent of Americans feel they must censor themselves from openly expressing their political views, in some cases out of fear of losing their jobs or missing career opportunities. The fear is especially common among conservative respondents, 77 percent of whom agreed that the current political climate prevents them from saying things they believe. This week’s study showed that even among centrist liberals, 52 percent said they must censor their opinions. That compared with 45 percent in 2017, the last time the same poll was done. Back then, 57 percent of moderates said […]
The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court gather for a group portrait. J. Scott Applewhite/AP hide caption toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court gather for a group portrait. J. Scott Applewhite/AP The recently concluded Supreme Court term was remarkable for many reasons. But for SCOTUS geeks who love numbers, it’s worth looking at how the conservatives often split among themselves, while the liberal justices, understanding that they are playing defense, stuck together far more often, refusing to dilute the outcome of their victories by disagreeing with one another. In all, the four hard-line conservatives wrote […]
San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton is outraged at white women calling the police on minorities. His creatively named CAREN Act would put an end to this, but conservatives claim it’s just more discrimination. Walton introduced the Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act on Tuesday. Its name is a nod to ‘Karen’, which has become internet slang for a white woman who demeans store assistants, demands to speak to the manager, or, crucially here, feels unduly threatened by minorities. Racist 911 calls are unacceptable that’s why I’m introducing the CAREN Act at today’s SF Board of Supervisors meeting. This is the […]
Newsweek has kicked off a storm of controversy after running an op-ed arguing that conservatives have “weaponized cancel culture,” with critics insisting progressives are only getting a taste of their own bitter medicine. In a recent piece at Newsweek, writer Emma Nolan says left-of-center “cancel culture” – which looks to tear down public figures for their political transgressions (real or imagined) – had been taken up by conservatives to combat celebrities who criticize US President Donald Trump. While the drive to cancel the un-woke typically “comes from people predominantly concerned with calling out racism,” Nolan wrote, “some of the criticism comes […]
Helen Buyniski is an American journalist and political commentator at RT. Follow her on Twitter @velocirapture23 “Free speech driven” social network Parler is being smeared as a “far right” cesspool as a Twitter crackdown drives conservative signups – even as its new users include milquetoast Republican politicians like Ted Cruz. Like Gab before it, Parler has attracted celebrity Twitter and Facebook rejects, lured by the promise of a censor-free experience, and a flood of users eager to interact with their banned idols – or just to express themselves without fear of deplatforming. And the market for alternative platforms is booming – Parler’s […]
The great James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released undercover video today that proves Facebook is targeting conservatives and putting MAGA supporters in the same grouping as terrorists. The video goes on to explain how Facebook is working to promote the left and leftist causes on a global scale.

Conservatives got #CancelYale trending on Twitter and targeted liberals like Hillary Clinton in their effort to troll the left, calling for the Ivy League school to change its name because it’s named after a slave trader. Right-wing pundit Jesse Kelly kicked off the hashtag on Saturday by noting that Yale University is named after Elihu Yale, a British merchant and slave trader. “Yale University was named for Elihu Yale. Not just a man who had slaves. An actual slave trader. I call on @Yale to change its name immediately and strip the name of Yale from every building, piece of paper, […]
US conservatives have blasted former National Security Advisor Susan Rice for saying Trump’s allies must end up in the “trash heap of history.” Her tirade ignited a fresh online war of words between the right and the left. Rice, a former US envoy to the UN and the White House national security advisor during Barack Obama’s presidency, went on a fiery tirade against current American leader Donald Trump on MSNBC. She slammed the Trump administration as “racist to its core.” The ex-diplomat also expressed hope that the Democratic Party contender in the 2020 presidential race, former Vice President Joe Biden, will […]
