<p>When Marsha Blackburn visited The Daily Wire earlier this month, she laid out her vision for Tennessee.</p>
<p>“Tennessee is a conservative state — we don’t have a state income tax, we don’t allow illegals to run our state, we fight to protect faith, family, freedom, hope, and opportunity,” Blackburn said. “And I want to keep it that way.”</p>
<p>“That’s why I’m running for governor. We have the potential to be America’s conservative leader.”</p>
<p>It’s a message you hear a lot from the senator. But I’ve lived in Tennessee for three years now, and have heard it in person from Blackburn many times. It doesn’t get old, because it validates my decision to be one of the thousands of Americans to leave a blue city and move here.</p>
<p>My family was tired of worrying about how our kids were being indoctrinated at school. We dreaded paying into a tax system that would spend our money on things we hate. We wanted to live in a state that America’s best companies <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/tennessee-paramount-1236648159/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are flocking to</a>, not <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-leaving-california-list-2025-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">running away from</a>. I work for a company that ran here from California. I want what Marsha Blackburn is promising: to make sure Tennessee remains America’s conservative leader.</p>
<p>Why trust that Marsha Blackburn will deliver? Simply put, I’ve seen her do it. The first time I ever stepped foot in Tennessee was in 2018, to cover the Senate race between Blackburn and Democrat Phil Bredesen, a popular former governor. It was one of the Democrats’ big targets for the cycle, with a longtime Republican incumbent retiring and a great recruit in Bredesen. Most prognosticators rated it a toss-up. Weeks out, polls in the state had Bredesen winning.</p>
<p>It was a tough cycle for Republicans. Democrats won 41 seats in the House, handing the gavel back to Nancy Pelosi. It was a different story in Tennessee: Blackburn smoked Bredesen by 10 points. Six years later, she smoked her Democrat opponent by 30 points.</p>
<p>It’s because Tennessee sees what Blackburn is doing. Before she was in Congress, she was in the state legislature leading the charge to get rid of the state income tax. In Washington, she’s established herself as an influential member of President Donald Trump’s inner circle, bringing the president’s attention to our state. She’s also been at the forefront of the fight to protect women’s sports from liberal insanity.</p>
<p>It was Blackburn, in fact, who first asked a Supreme Court nominee the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-a-biologist-supreme-court-nominee-says-she-cant-define-the-word-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">question the Left still can’t answer</a>: What is a woman?</p>
<p>I had the chance to be a fly on the wall for a site visit that Blackburn took to the massive xAI complex Elon Musk is building in Memphis. She was not in campaign mode — she was digging in on the issues that make Tennessee a magnet for big business looking to succeed, and knew the issues on a granular level. The company is building the largest supercomputer in the world, and informed leaders like Blackburn helped convince Musk to build it in Tennessee.</p>
<p>Others have thrown their hat in the ring to challenge Blackburn. Republican Congressman John Rose has been largely self-funding his campaign, which is buoyed by $7 million in spending — compared to just $1 million from Blackburn.</p>
<p>He’s running as a successful Tennessee businessman, but his business record has been a problem. Oddest was the snafu regarding his campaign ad promising that he wouldn’t let “woke” companies like Starbucks come to Tennessee to “push DEI.”</p>
<p>It was a good ad, until it was revealed that the software<a href="https://nashvillebanner.com/2026/06/17/john-rose-starbucks-ad-tennessee-dei/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> company where he’s CEO posted about Black Lives Matter</a> on Instagram in 2020. His company deleted the post; he said he had no idea.</p>
<p>There are also questions over whether he’s overstating his business record. In his campaign posts, he talks about being the founder of an IT training company. But he has also said to the press, prior to his political career, that he actually wasn’t the founder at all. He joined the company two years after it was founded, he told The Tennessean.</p>
<p>“Well, actually I was not the founder of the business,” the paper quoted Rose as saying. “A friend of mine who was in law school with me at Vanderbilt started Transcender Corp. in &#8217;92. In fact, he pretty much ran the business in the apartment until 1994, and I joined him full-time at that point.”</p>
<p>It’s an odd thing to misrepresent.</p>
<p>Then there’s Monty Fritts, a one-term state lawmaker who says he’ll “be surprised” if he doesn’t win. He says Tennessee is sick of politicians like Blackburn, a claim undermined by her electoral success.</p>
<p>It’s unclear what exactly we should be sick of in Tennessee. We’ve been at the forefront of every national victory, because of leaders like Blackburn. Tennessee is growing because people and some of the most successful corporations in the world want to be part of it.</p>
<p>Marsha Blackburn is the leader who will keep that momentum going, and make it undeniable that Tennessee is America’s conservative leader. Early voting starts on Friday.</p>

<p>This is not how I usually start an article, but stop reading if you don’t want a peek inside the demented mind of Graham Platner, the Maine man whom the Democrat Party wants to send to the Senate.</p>
<p>Platner posted the following joke on Reddit in October 2014. Platner has scrubbed the internet of most of his social media commentary, but all of the posts on Reddit were <a href="https://themainemonitor.org/platner-reddit-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">archived</a> by The Maine Monitor.</p>
<p>Writing as P-Hustle, Platner responded to a prompt on Reddit asking for “the most f*cked up, jaw-dropping, offensive joke you know?”</p>
<p>Platner responded with his version of a joke.</p>
<p>“I was eating out my grandmother and it tasted like horse cum,” Platner wrote. “So that’s how she died…”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The post, while shocking, is not surprising. Other Platner posts on the online chat forum include an admission that he feels the urge to masturbate every time he sits in a porta-potty.</p>
<p>“I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portash*tter … that blue water smell conditioned me,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/deeply-disturbing-dem-candidates-sexually-explicit-porta-potty-posts-resurface" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in March 2017 in a thread on nostalgic military smells.</p>
<p>Platner, in another post, described graffiti of a penis as “beautiful,” “engorged and veiny,” and moving “towards its penetrative glory.”</p>
<p>Platner has deleted his nearly 2,000 comments on Reddit, where sexually explicit posts were only part of the problem. He had also <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/16/politics/kfile-graham-platner-maine-senate-candidate-deleted-reddit-posts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid out </a>how he “became a communist” on the forum, and <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2026/04/graham-platner-praise-hamas-killed-israeli-soldiers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised</a> Hamas for its military tactics, saying, “I dig it.”</p>
<p>In another post, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/purple-heart-hero-rips-graham-platner-for-mocking-his-war-wounds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a Purple Heart recipient didn’t “deserve to live.”</p>
<p>The Daily Wire has also reported that Platner had an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/see-it-graham-platner-has-active-profile-on-predators-paradise-messaging-app" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account on Kik</a>, a platform notorious for enabling sexual predators.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>His account, similarly named “Phustle0331,” features a profile picture of Platner in just a towel, with his phone used to cover the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-girlfriends-say-platner-lied-about-nazi-tattoo-detail-disturbing-behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nazi tattoo</a> on his chest.</p>
<p>The account on Kik, which has been described as a “predator’s paradise” by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, was revealed amid reports that Platner’s own wife had told his campaign that he’d exchanged sexually explicit text messages with multiple women.</p>
<p>Platner earlier this month coasted to victory in Maine’s Democratic primary, officially beating out Maine Governor Janet Mills for the slot. He will face Republican incumbent Susan Collins in the general election, attempting to end her nearly three-decade hold on the Senate seat.</p>
<p>Platner remains ahead in the RealClearPolitics polling average, though polling has tightened since he became the nominee.</p>
<p>Platner did not respond to a request for comment on his Reddit post.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the Cannes Lions festival in France, the most prestigious gathering in advertising where awards are given for effective campaigns, they’ve spent decades talking past </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">right-of-center </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">consumer</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">s </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">entirely. Not represented in the work. Not studied in the research. Not discussed on the panels. Treated as a problem to manage rather than an audience to understand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year, we want to help change that. At LSKR Connects, sponsored by The Daily Wire, we’re building the day around the consumer conversations the industry too often avoids: overlooked audiences, the dangers of brand safety, and creative conformity. It&#8217;s a full day of fireside sessions focused specifically on the consumer, and the marketing strategies that actually can connect with all Americans.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h3><b>Introducing LSKR Connects, sponsored by The Daily Wire</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Matthew Mazzone, LSKR&#8217;s Chief Creative Officer and Christine Hoffmann, Executive Vice President of Ad Revenue at The Daily Wire, joined heads to make LSKR Connects, with the goal of forcing the conversation Cannes has spent decades avoiding. A full day of sessions on June 24, built around four topics that the rest of the festival won&#8217;t touch:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Market You’re Missing — Addressing brands antigrowth strategies </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Influencer Orbit — Where trust is won and lost</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institutional Pressure — How brands drift from their core consumers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Original Thinking in a Conformist Market</span></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mazzone, the Chief Creative Officer at LSKR, an advertising firm that’s focused on appealing to the whole consumer market, says that the advertising executives who descend on Cannes later this month are focused on the wrong type of creative. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Brands deserve agencies that understand their customers and respect the value they deliver,” Mazzone told The Daily Wire. “LSKR exists because a massive segment of American consumers has been overlooked by the advertising industry, and brands are paying the price.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Creative should not be designed to impress the industry,” Mazzone told The Daily Wire, describing what typically happens at Cannes. “It should be designed to connect with the customer. At the end of the day, every creative decision should answer one question: does this help the brand connect with its core consumer and sell more goods and services?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Surveys consistently show that a majority of consumers are increasingly willing to spend extra with brands that align with their values, and are less likely to buy from a company that takes a political stand they disagree with. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A whopping 62% of Americans buy brands that reflect their personal values, a double-digit increase in the last decade.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1104227" style="width: 479px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1104227" class=" wp-image-1104227" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM-300x167.png" alt="" width="469" height="261" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM-300x167.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM-1024x569.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM-768x426.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM-1536x853.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-5.11.23-PM.png 1736w" sizes=" (max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1104227" class="wp-caption-text">Ipsos Global Trends</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hoffmann, the Executive Vice President for advertising revenue at The Daily Wire, knows first-hand from her experience in conservative media how important it is for products to “reach the right audience.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Consumers who genuinely align with a brand’s products, values, and customer base are ultimately more valuable than passive scale alone,” Hoffmann said. “Our audience is highly engaged and deeply invested in the content they consume, which creates stronger and more authentic opportunities for brands that show up thoughtfully in those environments.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We want to join the broader conversation around how marketers can move beyond overly broad, one-size-fits-all strategies and think more intentionally about resonance, trust, and audience alignment,” Hoffman said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire has led the charge against the politicization of the advertising industry, exposing how advertising industry executives colluded to keep advertising money away from conservative news organizations. Last year, the top advertising agencies in the world were forced to pledge</span> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-trump-ftc-secures-landmark-agreement-to-end-political-collusion-in-advertising-industry"><span style="font-weight: 400;">to the federal government</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that they would no longer allow political bias to influence their actions.  </span></p>
<p><b>The forgotten consumers</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These conversations about “left out” consumers aren’t just a gut feeling. It’s based on real data.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kim Whitler, a professor at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, has studied the negative impact on companies that choose to engage in activism. Whitler finds that executives think they’re doing the right thing, even if it hurts their company. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She says too often business leaders are acting on their “own agenda” and end up making what she calls a “value-destroying activism decision.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Having worked with over 1,000 business leaders navigating reputation- and value-destroying activism decisions,” Whitler, a speaker at LSKR Connects, told The Daily Wire. “The most common and most consequential is the belief that ‘doing the right thing’ is a matter of personal conscience rather than legally prescribed responsibility.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anne Marie Malecha, who runs a top crisis communications firm, Dezenhall Resources, says the companies get themselves in trouble when they &#8220;start performing for someone other than their customer.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Somewhere along the line, a brand decides the people whose opinions matter most are not the people actually buying the product. The activists. The trade press. A loud sliver of social media. A consultant that told them what the &#8216;modern consumer&#8217; wants,” Malecha said. “Whatever it is, the company stops asking who their actual customers are and what those actual customers need from it and starts asking what would make a smaller, vocal noise makers approve of it.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1103629" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="559" height="372" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-2.jpg 512w" sizes=" (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px" /></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Trust and revenue are declining before most brands know they’re in the middle of a crisis,” she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anson Frericks has seen the consequences firsthand. He had just stepped down as an executive at Anheuser-Busch InBev when it brought on Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light. The marketing team was so far removed from the customer base that the company didn’t even see the backlash coming. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When companies hire only employees from NYC, agencies from only NYC, and look at their customer base through the lens of NYC, they are missing the needs of a majority of their customers and only realize it after sales suffer,” Frericks told The Daily Wire. “No one wins.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Josh Culling, the president of Dezenhall Resources, says the “groupthink” created by the fact that these advertising executives are often clustered together in the same coastal cities is a critical issue for the industry.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Consumers in the middle of the country have a fundamentally different frame of reference to those on the coasts, and are too often ignored or dismissed,” Culling said. “Brands that are too comfortable living amongst their geographic and socioeconomic peers, and too uncomfortable wading outside that comfortable cohort, leave billions of dollars of shareholder value on the table.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s not only a bad thing for the companies leaving money on the table, it’s a bad thing for the consumers. They deserve the industry’s attention.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So here&#8217;s the questions worth asking at the most prestigious creative event on earth: Can creativity really be called creative if it only speaks to half the consumers? Why are we drawing inspiration from only half the talent and only half the consumer base?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1103631" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="574" height="382" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/05/Cannes-3.jpg 512w" sizes=" (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px" /></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cannes has spent decades celebrating creativity while quietly enforcing conformity. LSKR Connects, sponsored by The Daily Wire, is the first time the other half of the conversation gets a seat on the Croisette.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cream of the industry will be there. The question is whether they&#8217;re ready to hear something they haven&#8217;t heard before.</span></p>

<p>Right-wing internet troll-turned-anti-MAGA commentator Chuck Johnson may end up in prison over a fraud and extortion lawsuit in which he was found to have lied to victims by presenting himself as an intelligence asset.</p>
<p>Johnson, whose name has resurfaced in recent months over his false claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein, finds himself at the mercy of a court-appointed receiver who has been ordered by a federal judge to carry out a $71 million ruling against him. He was accused of lying about being an intelligence asset as part of an “extortion scheme,” in which he threatened investors with &#8220;sabotage&#8221; if they did not give him favorable investment terms.</p>
<p>Now, the fight over his assets appears to have extended to a criminal investigation, with the judge asking the receiver to report “any potential criminal conduct or wrongdoing” by Johnson. Johnson was thrown in jail late last year for contempt after he failed to disclose his assets to the court.</p>
<p>In an <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/1029547182/April-Federal-Court-Filing-In-Case-Against-Chuck-Johnson?_gl=1*1hi4ipj*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTUxNDY4NzY4My4xNzc2Nzk3MDEw*_ga_Z4ZC50DED6*czE3NzY3OTcwMDkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzY3OTcwMTMkajU2JGwwJGgw*_ga_8KZ8BV0P5W*czE3NzY3OTcwMDkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzY3OTcwMTMkajU2JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 13 filing</a>, the court says Johnson’s conduct “bears the hallmarks of conduct consistent with wire fraud … and money laundering,” adding that it &#8220;may constitute criminal perjury or false declarations.” The statements are, for now, based on a status report of the ongoing probe, and not a definitive conclusion of law.</p>
<p>Johnson, who was labeled a “sociopathic liar” in the initial case, has reemerged in the press due to years-old fantastical claims he made to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein that were released in the Epstein files. Among the unsourced claims by Johnson were that President Trump was “compromised by Israel.” He also claimed that Jared Kushner, Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, was running the presidency in his first term.</p>
<p>The 2020 claims from Johnson were picked up by other anti-Semitic activists such as Dave Smith and Hasan Piker, who made no mention of the fact that Johnson had no basis for any of his claims.</p>
<p>FBI documents show Johnson was making similar unsourced claims about others in Trump’s orbit. One FBI report from May 2020 shows that Johnson claimed to the intelligence bureau that Sergio Gor, a top Trump official who is now his ambassador to India, was a “Russian spy.” He also said that Arthur Schwartz, another close ally of Trump, was a “spy.” Neither claim was paired with any evidence.</p>
<p>“Chuck Johnson is a complete loser who has failed at everything in life,” Schwartz told The Daily Wire. “Like many others in Washington, I look forward to the day that he’s sentenced to a lengthy and well-deserved term of incarceration.”</p>
<p>Johnson, who has referred to The Daily Wire as an “Israeli propaganda rag,” is open about his Jew hatred. He regularly associates with both Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes, and is a <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/02/05/matt-gaetzs-state-of-the-union-guest-admits-he-questioned-holocaust/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holocaust denier</a>, saying that both “Auschwitz and the gas chambers” are not real.</p>
<p>“I love Nick Fuentes,” Johnson <a href="https://archive.is/1OmQY#selection-419.0-419.33" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in July 2024. “I avow him.”</p>
<p>Though Johnson is often represented as a far-right figure, he is now politically aligned with Democrats, and supported Kamala Harris over Trump in 2024. He liked Joe Biden, he said, but liked Harris even more because of her stance on Israel.</p>
<p>“I am a huge Joe Biden fan, and will remain such on domestic matters, but he has deferred to the Israelis way too much,” Johnson said during the 2024 campaign, “and I think to some extent, Kamala Harris is going to be a bit more aggressive towards them.”</p>
<p>Johnson’s handler at the FBI was reportedly Jonathan Buma, who became a favorite of liberal media for claims he made in 2023 that the bureau was biased in favor of Trump.</p>
<p>Buma was <a href="https://oig.justice.gov/news/press-release/former-fbi-special-agent-arrested-disclosure-confidential-information" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested in March 2025</a> for leaking confidential information to the press. It was actually disclosed by Johnson that he and Buma had both leaked information to the Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>Buma has since been profiled for his claims that Trump and Elon Musk are entangled in a Russian conspiracy. Again, the claims came without evidence.</p>
<p>“Those efforts were intense and they were ongoing,” he said of Russian efforts. “I can’t go into too much more detail.”</p>
<p>Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unions love nothing more than blaming problems on non-union operations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So it was no surprise last weekend when the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, best known as IATSE, blamed the lack of union representation on the set of The Daily Wire’s new action film when movie star Jonathan Majors </span><a href="https://deadline.com/2026/04/jonathan-majors-falls-through-window-crew-strike-daily-wire-1236773038/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fell through a prop window</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/2041273088428413189"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“nearly died.”</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, not exactly. Majors only fell a few feet. He’s totally fine. In the video of the “accident” posted by Deadline you can hear Majors immediately asking, “Did we shoot it? Use it!”</span></p>
<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-1-hollywood-union-0-production-wraps-on-jonathan-majors-action-movie">Daily Wire 1, Hollywood Union 0: Production Wraps On Jonathan Majors Action Movie</a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, IATSE, the self-proclaimed “union behind entertainment,” wants people to believe that if they were there, nobody could have possibly gotten hurt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Except, here’s the thing: IATSE is full of it. It’s all a game to twist producer Dallas Sonnier’s arm into entering a collective bargaining agreement with the union. And it’s a game </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-1-hollywood-union-0-production-wraps-on-jonathan-majors-action-movie?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=10&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Daily+Wire+1%2C+Hollywood+Union+0%3A+Production+Wraps+On+Jonathan+Majors+Action+Movie"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the union lost</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, because Sonnier “doesn’t negotiate with communists.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But let’s go back to the issue of the unions and safety. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Forget for a moment that a Screen Actors Guild representative was present on set the entire time and had no safety concerns. Forget, again, that Majors only took a small tumble and was totally fine. Let’s pretend Sonnier had caved to the union’s demands and given them everything they wanted. That would have prevented even this minor injury, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, sure. Nobody ever gets hurt on union-run Hollywood sets — at least if you don’t count the “Mission: Impossible” where Tom Cruise broke his ankle jumping off a building.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, IATSE was on set for that. It’s on set for every Hollywood movie. It’s unclear whether anyone walked off after that accident, which was so bad that they even included it in the film’s promo. Shout out to Cruise, who had the same reaction as Majors and immediately told the director to use the footage. He kept going after he knew he snapped his ankle, because he knew it was the perfect shot. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">IATSE was also probably on the set of “Django Unchained” when Leonardo DiCaprio slammed a table so hard that he smashed a prop glass and bled all over his co-star, Kerry Washington.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s unlikely that anyone walked off that set. In fact, it’s said the crew broke out into applause after director Quentin Tarantino called “cut.” And Tarantino put DiCaprio and his blood-soaked hand into the final cut of the movie.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">George Clooney was so badly injured performing a stunt on the set of 2005’s “Syriana” that he considered suicide.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Sonnier told Deadline, sometimes the people making action movies are just “too busy being bad asses, blowing sh*t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves” with attention-seeking union assholes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, no, unions don’t make film sets any safer. If anything, injuries on union-run sets are so common at this point that it’s almost malpractice to involve them.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The worst part of a new pair of shoes is breaking them in. You basically know you’ll end up with blisters on the back of your feet. It’s going to be great when you get home from work, if you ever do, and flip those bad boys off. Maybe the next time they’ll be comfortable — if you ever muster the will to throw them back on. Let’s face it, these days sneakers can even be considered business casual. Stylish dress shoes just aren’t worth it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is, unless you take the advice of President Donald Trump. The man turns 80 in just over two months, and he’s still working what sometimes feels like endless days. I assure you, none of it is in sneakers. He never got the memo about them qualifying as business casual, and if he did, he would have used a Truth Social post to fire whoever wrote it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of people wonder: How does he do it? </span><a href="https://youtu.be/fkY7W6kCRY4?si=cmCQuE1WcWmaLt1G"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s gotta be the shoes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thanks to some shoe-leather reporting from the </span><a href="https://www.wsj.com/style/fashion/trump-florsheim-shoes-tucker-carlson-jd-vance-bessent-448567ab?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=AWEtsqf4AI6VdGE65moXS4NHxB_DydGEbd4CW-TAaqii9rliV-oOiwEJKZ9WWcUT14s%3D&amp;gaa_ts=69cf2b14&amp;gaa_sig=aPJgK3qPf9xdcmiBVIe1uY2o7KaohQ41R-a8FmBhbDat1Xmuj2eKdiXj9WHrDVBfDQBT1a1YUwCg7Eo_qOwyjA%3D%3D"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wall Street Journal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Trump’s secret was revealed. It’s a $145 shoe from Florsheim. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nope, the New York billionaire isn’t sporting $1,090 Guccis. He’s rocking a Wisconsin-based shoe brand founded in 1892. And he loves its shoes so much he insists the top men around him are wearing them too. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At a December meeting with two men who may both be president one day, JD Vance and Marco Rubio, Trump leaned over the desk to alert them both that they had disappointed him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Marco, JD, you guys have sh*tty shoes,” Trump said before asking their size and outfitting them with Florsheims. He’s reportedly taken to doing it with many men around him, including the wealthy Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If it’s good enough for the Cabinet, it’s probably good enough for me. But specifically, what shoe is it? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A visit to the Florsheim website found that nearly all the dress shoes are $145. Trump says you should wear a black shoe. I recently heard Michael Knowles </span><a href="https://www.florsheim.com/shop/styles/shoes/dress/page0.html?pt_asset=SubMenudress&amp;view=category"><span style="font-weight: 400;">order a Daily Wire employee</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to do the same. And I know from the Kingsmen you wear Oxfords, not brogues; a man doesn’t need an adorned shoe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So I imagine Trump is outfitting his team with the same black plain-toed Oxford I selected. It came in the mail last week, and let me tell you something: I skipped right past the worst part of a new pair of shoes. On day one, I felt like I’d broken in the leather for years.</span></p>
<p>I put them on at 7:45 in the morning when I laced them up to leave the house, and found them still on my feet after I got all three of my kids to sleep just after 8:00 at night. I’d like to say they were so comfortable I forgot I was wearing them, but that would be a lie. I couldn’t stop thinking about how good my feet felt. And, just like Trump, I couldn’t stop pushing them on my coworkers. I made two men in my office touch the inside of my shoe; at least one made a purchase on the spot. The next morning, he told me he dreamed about the shoes.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you take them off for inspection, it becomes quite clear what’s going on. The inner lining of the shoe is partially lined with a thick, soft padding. Apparently, it’s a proprietary Florsheim material called Suedetec, which is strategically placed inside the shoe to navigate the usual pitfalls of a new shoe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The certainty that there is no break-in period prompted me to pull the trigger on one of the hardest-to-break-in men’s clothing items: a pair of loafers (still $145) for black-tie occasions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people looking for comfort end up wearing Crocs or Uggs. But in Florsheims, you can dress for comfort and still look like a president. Don’t want to look presidential? Fine, how about imitating the greatest pop star of all time (before he lost his mind)? Yes, that’s right. They’re the same shoes Michael Jackson did his moonwalk in.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still not your cup of tea? How about wearing the same shoes as the greatest heroes in American history? Perfect, because Florsheim was the principal manufacturer of shoes for the U.S. military in both World War I and II. The company, founded by a Jewish German immigrant in Chicago, had a promotion that for every pair of shoes it sold, it gave a pair to the military. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In my first official product review, I’m happy to put my stamp of approval on the official shoe of the Oval Office.</span></p>

<p>Politico, the Washington insider outlet that bills itself as a &#8220;leading destination for non-partisan news and unbiased policy coverage,&#8221; has been paying for the services of a liberal mega-donor who has already forked over six figures directly to the Democrat Party this calendar year.</p>
<p>First appearing in a February newsletter from Politico Influence, its daily bulletin on the swampy world of lobbyists in the nation&#8217;s capital, was a disclosure that one of the biggest figures in the industry, Invariant, is now working for Politico. Invariant is the influence shop founded and run by Heather Podesta, the former wife of lobbyist Tony Podesta and longtime power-player in Democrat politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;POLITICO is a client of Invariant,&#8221; read the disclosure, which has appeared in at least seven disclosures since the middle of February.</p>
<p>Podesta has contributed more than $250,000 to Democrat candidates and committees this election cycle, including the maximum allowed $44,500 to both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Over the years, Podesta has given millions of dollars to Democrats.</p>
<p>It is unclear what Invariant is providing for Politico. Neither responded to a request for comment.</p>
<p>Invariant offers not only lobbying, but also public relations and crisis management. The firm brought in over $47 million from lobbying clients in 2025, according to figures compiled by Open Secrets.</p>
<p>The addition of Invariant comes just a few months after Politico brought in a veteran Democrat operative to be its head of communications. The operative, Evan Hollander, was named senior vice president of communications, a post he picked up after years of crafting messaging for House Democrats, according to a <a href="https://freebeacon.com/media/politicos-new-comms-chief-is-veteran-house-dem-operative-who-called-trumps-first-term-an-unmitigated-disaster/">report</a> from the <em>Free Beacon. </em></p>
<p>Politico also found itself in hot water in recent weeks over a <a href="https://freebeacon.com/media/politico-publishes-cartoon-depicting-trump-republicans-wearing-blood-covered-jewish-prayer-shawls-yarmulkes-amid-bags-of-money/">cartoon that depicted</a> President Donald Trump and Republican senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham wearing blood-covered Jewish prayer shawls and yarmulkes. The cartoon was taken down with an editor&#8217;s note saying it did not &#8220;meet our standards,&#8221; but only saying it could be &#8220;reasonably interpreted&#8221; to be &#8220;hateful.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is unclear whether Podesta and Invariant were involved with crafting the statement.</p>
<p>Politico just <a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-press/2026/03/29/jonathan-greenberger-named-politico-global-editor-in-chief-00849724">added</a> a new editor-in-chief, Jonathan Greenberger, who will take the helm in May.</p>

Politico Brings In Major Dem Donor’s Public Affairs Firm

<p>The Arkansas restaurant that kicked the state&#8217;s governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, out, citing concerns that employees were threatened by her presence, has responded to the firestorm, with employees digging in even as ownership says politics had nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>Hours after The Daily Wire revealed the details of the incident at The Croissanterie in Little Rock, in which Sanders was asked to leave after having lunch with two mom friends, and was both shouted at and flipped off as she departed, the restaurant told local press that it had nothing to do with her conservative politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;After the party completed their meal, a member of the security detail was quietly asked to help conclude the visit in line with our standard 90-minute table policy,&#8221; the restaurant told KARK. &#8220;The request was not immediately received, and the party remained for an additional period before departing without incident once communication was established.&#8221;</p>
<p>Restaurant employees didn&#8217;t seem to get the memo. In a widely circulated Facebook post that was taken as a statement from restaurant staff, an employee called the governor &#8220;evil&#8221; and made it very clear that Sanders&#8217; politics made the governor&#8217;s visit controversial.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m proud af to work here! I’m proud af to be gay and I’m proud af to be an Arkansan,&#8221; the employee wrote. &#8220;My voice matters. Try again.&#8221;</p>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1062341" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/HDx4MhfWcAAaJ2p-370x576.jpg" alt="" width="370" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/HDx4MhfWcAAaJ2p-370x576.jpg 370w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/HDx4MhfWcAAaJ2p-193x300.jpg 193w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/HDx4MhfWcAAaJ2p-768x1194.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/03/HDx4MhfWcAAaJ2p.jpg 771w" sizes=" (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px" /></div>
<p>The restaurant also denies there was any commotion, contrary to the account from the Sanders camp.</p>
<p>&#8220;We want to be clear: there was no disruption in the restaurant,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Claims that an employee made an inappropriate gesture are incorrect—it was a customer, and the situation has been addressed.&#8221;</p>

<p>There was never any claim by the governor that an employee gave her the middle finger as she left. The Daily Wire reported on Thursday that as Sanders was leaving without making a scene, a group started shouting, “It’s time to leave,” and they flipped her the middle finger in front of other guests. It was not reported that an employee made the gesture.</p>
<p>This is the second time Sanders has found herself in the situation of being kicked out of a restaurant by liberal owners. Back in 2018, when she was White House press secretary, it made national news when a small Virginia restaurant called the Red Hen told her and her family to leave because she worked for Donald Trump. The incident earned the restaurant owner praise from liberal media outlets like the Washington Post, which <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE3JwfWm2EI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hailed the owner</a> for “taking a stand” against Sanders.</p>
<p>The Virginia restaurant <a href="https://www.thenews-gazette.com/article/4303,red-hen-to-close" target="_blank" rel="noopener">permanently closed in 2023</a>.</p>
<p>Though the Croissanterie appears to have received support from liberal members of the community, the social media backlash has been harsh.</p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely VILE ppl,&#8221; wrote one self-proclaimed Arkansas user. &#8220;I hope this restaurant goes under just like the Red Hen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What a classy establishment,&#8221; wrote conservative commentator Guy Benson. &#8220;They took her business &amp; money before performatively throwing her out for &#8216;safety&#8217; reasons, while giving her the finger.&#8221;</p>

Restaurant That Booted Sarah Sanders Responds As Staff Contradict Their Own Story

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

<p>It&#8217;s the Red Hen all over again.</p>
<p>Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas and former White House press secretary, says she was having lunch with two mom friends at a restaurant called <a href="https://www.thecroissanterielr.com/menu#sectionId-d6c124ee-7ad0-461a-b274-1929dc7a5462">The Croissanterie</a> in Little Rock when the owner kicked them out. Her presence at the restaurant, the owner told the governor, made the employees feel &#8220;threatened and uncomfortable&#8221; because of her political views. As they left, she was given the middle finger.</p>
<p>This is the second time Sanders has found herself in this exact situation. Back in 2018 when she was White House press secretary, it made national news when a small Virginia restaurant called the Red Hen told her she and her family to leave because she worked for Donald Trump. The incident won the owner of the restaurant profiles from liberal media like the Washington Post, which <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE3JwfWm2EI">hailed the owner</a> for &#8220;taking a stand&#8221; against Sanders.</p>
<p>That restaurant <a href="https://www.thenews-gazette.com/article/4303,red-hen-to-close">permanently closed in 2023</a>.</p>
<p>For Sanders, it was more surprising to have it happen in her home state of Arkansas. She told The Daily Wire on Tuesday night that the only people to talk to her during her just over an hour meal at The Croissanterie came over to thank her for the work she was doing in the state. By the time they were booted, they had already eaten and paid.</p>
<p>When her security detail was informed that they were being asked to leave, she decided that they&#8217;d leave without making a scene. But then the group started shouting, &#8220;It&#8217;s time to leave,&#8221; and giving her the middle finger in front of other guests.</p>
<p>Sanders, who is up for reelection this year, is widely popular in Arkansas. She was elected in 2022 by nearly thirty percentage points, and is viewed positively by more than half of the state, polls show.</p>
<p>In a statement on the incident, Sanders says The Croissanterie doesn&#8217;t meet the proper &#8220;standard&#8221; for Arkansas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant certainly doesn&#8217;t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down with discrimination and hate,” Sanders said.</p>
<p>The Croissanterie did not respond to a request for comment. After publication of this story, a group of employees at the restaurant posted on Facebook taking a shot at the governor. The post indicates</p>
<p>&#8220;Sarah Huckabee Sanders, no amount of evil you send our way can ever take our smiles away!!!&#8221; wrote Hickman, along with a picture of the staff. &#8220;I’m proud af to work here! I’m proud af to be gay and I’m proud af to be an Arkansan. My voice matters. Try again.&#8221;</p>

Red Hen Déjà Vu: Sarah Sanders Kicked Out Of Arkansas Restaurant, Flipped Off By Staff

White House

<p>President Donald Trump is done with Tucker Carlson, declaring that the podcaster has &#8220;lost his way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump told ABC reporter Jon Karl on Thursday that Carlson was no longer MAGA, and that he&#8217;s known this for a &#8220;long time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Tucker has lost his way,” Trump said, according to Karl. “I knew that a long time ago, and he&#8217;s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carlson has been an outspoken critic of Trump&#8217;s strikes on Iran, saying that the operation is &#8220;absolutely disgusting and evil.&#8221; Carlson has also claimed, without evidence, that the decision to launch strikes was driven by Chabad, a Jewish outreach organization.</p>
<p>Carlson campaigned for Trump in 2024, but has been increasingly critical of the president, especially on foreign policy. Carlson, however, has made several visits to the White House in recent months, where he reportedly met with the president. Those meetings were reportedly part of a failed effort to convince the president not to strike Iran.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s statements represent a major change of heart since last November, when the president declined to criticize Carlson for his interview with antisemitic commentator Nick Fuentes.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t tell him who to interview,&#8221; the president said last November, adding that &#8220;people are controversial.&#8221; Trump, in that same interview, said Carlson had &#8220;said good things about me over the years.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thursday&#8217;s comments are the president&#8217;s harshest to date on Carlson, but not his first criticism. Earlier this week, Trump told reporter Rachael Bade that Carlson&#8217;s criticism &#8220;has no impact&#8221; on him. He also hit commentator Megyn Kelly, saying she &#8220;ought to study her history book a little bit.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that MAGA is Trump — MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump told Bade, referring to Kelly and Carlson. “MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing — every aspect of it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Polling supports the president&#8217;s assessment, showing that a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maga-unity-polls-show-republicans-opposed-to-trumps-iran-strikes-are-loud-small-minority">large majority of Republican voters</a> are in favor of Trump&#8217;s actions in Iran. The margins increase when Trump&#8217;s objectives are laid out to voters.</p>

<p>Colony Ridge, the Texas neighborhood that became the “fastest growing development” in the country thanks to a marketing scheme that targeted illegal immigrants, has <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txsd.1945245/gov.uscourts.txsd.1945245.149.1.pdf">agreed</a> to pay $68 million in penalties in a joint settlement with the Trump administration and the State of Texas.</p>
<p>The developers of Colony Ridge, located just north of Houston, came under both federal and state investigation after a 2023 report by The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed</a> how it grew to nearly 100,000 residents with a business model catered to illegal immigrants. Its Spanish-only marketing campaigns were directed at foreign buyers.</p>
<p>The initial lawsuit was brought by the Biden administration, which said Colony Ridge “targeted Hispanic consumers with predatory loans” and “misled” them about what they were getting. Colony Ridge sold inexpensive plots of land at sky-high interest rates, with a type of loan available to illegal immigrants who are ineligible to apply for traditional loans. The buyers ended up in a “cycle of foreclosure,” creating a “nightmare for thousands of hardworking Hispanic families,” Biden’s Department of Justice said, treating the illegal immigrant population as the victim.</p>
<p>The settlement, however, was reached by the Trump administration and Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. Its provisions appear designed not only to punish Colony Ridge, but also to end its ability to give loans to illegal immigrants, and even to supercharge deportations.</p>
<p>Included in the settlement is a pledge to require purchasers to present a valid Texas-issued driver’s license or identification card, or a valid visa issued after January 1, 2025. Also included is a pledge to spend $20 million to build a new law enforcement center inside Colony Ridge, where cartel activity has taken a foothold.</p>

<p>According to Paxton, the funding can be used to facilitate deportations carried out by local Texas law enforcement.</p>
<p>“Colony Ridge endangered American citizens by allowing illegal aliens to run rampant on its streets, in its schools, and in its community. Now, it’s time for those responsible to pay a steep cost for their unlawful actions,” Paxton said. “My office will continue to bring the full force of the law against anyone who threatens the safety of our state or creates a safe harbor for illegals.”</p>
<p>Paxton’s office said the agreement “halts the development of a de facto illegal immigrant community.”</p>
<p>Among the other provisions are $48 million for infrastructure improvements to the development, which was plagued by flooding and sewage issues, and a promise to end its predatory lending practices.</p>
<p>“This DOJ will go after all lenders, financiers, and land developers who participate in schemes which ultimately encourage illegal immigration,” said Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. “The changes required by this settlement will promote public safety, and affordable and sustainable homeownership in America, key priorities of this administration.”</p>

<p>Nashville, Tennessee, where The Daily Wire is headquartered, is covered in a massive sheet of ice.</p>
<p>A weekend of freezing rain coated every surface in Music City and surrounding areas of middle Tennessee with an inch-thick layer of ice, causing massive power outages and dangerous structural damage. With temperatures hovering in the teens, there is no thaw in sight.</p>
<p>The main culprit has been downed trees, which are blocking roads and taking down power lines all around the Nashville area.</p>
