Monday morning on &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show,&#8221; host Michael Knowles unveiled the latest addition to his bestselling party game franchise: the <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-america-250-expansion-pack?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yes or No: America 250 Expansion Pack</a>, a limited-edition release commemorating the 250th anniversary of America&#8217;s founding. Preorders are open now at DailyWire.com/shop.
What began as a viral internet show — in which Knowles posed provocative statements to guests and forced them into a binary yes-or-no verdict — has grown into one of the most popular party games in the conservative space. Since its debut, Yes or No: The Game has reached tens of thousands of households, repeatedly selling out and earning a reputation as the game most likely to end a friendship, help a couple discern marriage (which has been confirmed to have happened at least once), or ruin Thanksgiving dinner.
The original game shipped with 200 cards and supports up to nine players at once. Knowles himself has called it &#8220;the bestselling and most important game at the Daily Wire.&#8221; Its success spawned three expansion packs, each tackling a different cultural fault line:
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-conspiracy-expansion-pack?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conspiracy Expansion Pack</a>, which dared players to weigh in on Epstein, the moon landing, and the Denver airport;</li>
<li>The <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-politics-philosophy-religion?utm_source=editorial">Politics, Philosophy, &amp; Religion Expansion Pack</a>, which dragged the dinner table into the deepest waters of human disagreement;</li>
<li>And the <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-dating-relationships-expansion-pack?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dating &amp; Relationships Expansion Pack</a>, which forced players to decide whether watching “adult content” counts as cheating and if &#8220;fur-babies&#8221; are replacing children.</li>
</ul>
All three expansion packs have sold out multiple times since launch.
The <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-america-250-expansion-pack?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America 250 Expansion Pack</a> continues the tradition with more than 120 new cards built around the founding, the future, and the great debates that have animated American life for two and a half centuries. Topics span the Founding Fathers, the Civil War, foreign policy, pop culture, and the ongoing argument over what America actually is — and what it ought to be.
A sneak peek at some of the prompts players can expect:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Greenland should be the 51st state.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Canada is America&#8217;s evil top hat.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The Salem witch trials didn&#8217;t go far enough.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">America is still a Christian nation.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">1776 is a better musical than Hamilton.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Truman was right to drop the atomic bombs.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The Civil Rights Act was a mistake.</li>
</ul>
The expansion is perfectly aimed at giving families, friend groups, and dinner parties an unusually patriotic excuse to turn on each other. Given the sellout history of every previous Yes or No release, customers are encouraged to <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-america-250-expansion-pack?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preorder now to secure a copy before supply runs out.</a>
The Yes or No: America 250 Expansion Pack is available exclusively at DailyWire.com/shop. Yes or No: The Game is required for play and sold separately.

A viral AI-generated <a href="https://x.com/TheBabylonBee/status/2049587022629867800">video</a> recently put out by the Babylon Bee imagines a Democrat-free version of America. Families gather around a dinner table, people walk down the clean, “vagrant-free” streets of San Francisco, children marvel at a rainbow that’s “a symbol of God’s promise and nothing else.” 
And, obviously, gun owners wander around aimlessly because there are no criminals left to shoot. 
We are nowhere near this utopian vision, but there are certain states in the union creeping ever closer. Namely, the great state of Tennessee. 
This week, Tennessee Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brutal-blow-for-democrats-in-red-state-sparks-leftist-outrage?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Brutal+Blow+For+Democrats+In+Red+State+Sparks+Leftist+Outrage">voted to approve</a> new congressional maps that will likely wipe out the Democrats’ only U.S. House seat in the state, and Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the bill into law shortly after the vote. The special session in Tennessee’s capital was quickly organized after the Supreme Court ruled that certain majority-black districts put in place by the Voting Rights Act amounted to unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.
Simply put, the tiny blue blip in Tennessee has been wiped away, making the state completely, blissfully, red. This change reflects the reality of a state Trump won solidly in 2024. A refuge that blue state Democrats keep moving to.
Low taxes. Functional cities. Country music. SEC football. People who still wave at each other in parking lots. And yes, a state government that takes action when it needs to rather than allowing their political opponents to intimidate them into submission.
Not every state can be Tennessee, but every citizen can dream of a future reality where it’s possible. Show your support for the vision with the one and only <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/make-america-tennessee-hat">Make America Tennessee hat</a>, available now for every citizen who believes in that distant dream. 
It’s not a catchphrase – it’s a call to action. A declaration that the rest of America should take notes and follow suit. Offered in crisp white or forest camo, with a structured build, this hat includes blaze orange lettering that demands attention. 
As the leftists melt down over “Jim Crow 2.0,” wear the hat. As they rage that election rigging is their God-given right, wear the hat. On your way to the range, wear the hat. No matter what state you live in right now, or how blue it looks, wear the hat. 
It’s time to make one thing clear: You stand with Tennessee. You stand for sanity. You stand for America.
Now is the time to finally MAKE AMERICA TENNESSEE.

Tennessee

America’s Conservative Bastion Has Democrats Seeing Red

Democrats

Republicans

There are approximately 25 states in the nation that can reliably be called red, but not all red states were created equally. Some big red states have frustrating blue stains that make them appear purple. Some red lawmakers cater to those blue voters way too much.
But, there are also red states behaving in beautifully red ways, blue stains be damned.
Now you’re talking about Tennessee.
In an incredible win for law-abiding citizens everywhere, Tennessee lawmakers just passed HB 1802, a bill headed straight to Governor Bill Lee&#8217;s desk that would allow property owners to use deadly force to protect their personal property. Lee is expected to sign the legislation.
Yes, fellow 2A proponents, that means would-be burglars, arsonists, trespassers, rapists, and all other manner of criminal characters could legally be confronted with the business end of a bedside Glock.
These Tennessee-based lawbreakers will now be thinking twice before coming onto someone else’s property with bad intentions. Because when bad intentions meet common sense laws, well, it’s time to meet a little something known as consequences for your actions.
Rep. Kip Capley (R), one of the bill&#8217;s sponsors, <a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/tennessee-politics/bill-deadly-force-property-defense/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it plainly</a>, &#8220;Right now under current law, if someone is breaking into your property, if they&#8217;re stealing from you, if they&#8217;re destroying what you&#8217;ve worked your entire life to build, you&#8217;re expected to wait. You&#8217;re expected to hesitate. You&#8217;re expected to second-guess and take a calculated risk at defending what&#8217;s yours.&#8221;
Democrats, predictably, were vehemently opposed, stopping just short of saying home invasions should be handled by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/socialism-in-a-designer-suit-nyc-is-in-for-a-hard-lesson-if-mamdani-is-elected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soft spoken social workers</a>.
&#8220;I do not think we should give people license to kill people over property,&#8221; one opponent said. That’s a perfectly reasonable opinion to have, if you’ve never had someone steal your truck, torch your barn, or raid your home with your sleeping family inside at 2 a.m. while the police are forty minutes away.
The Senate passed SB 1847 on April 21st. The House followed with HB 1807 on April 23rd. If the governor signs it, property owners will be able to use deadly force to prevent trespass, arson, damage to property including livestock, burglary, theft, robbery, or aggravated cruelty to animals as soon as July 1, 2026.
America, take notes.
This is the exact moment that the <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/make-america-tennessee-hat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Make America Tennessee Hat</a> was made for. Crisp white. Blaze orange lettering. Adjustable snapback. Embroidered flag. It&#8217;s more than a fashion statement. This hat tells the rest of those red states, and even the blue ones, that it’s time to take the plunge and act red for once.
It&#8217;s made for the people who believe you shouldn&#8217;t have to cower in the closet as thieves ransack your hard-earned property, wondering if you’d be the one getting prosecuted for confronting them.
Tennessee is doing what the rest of the country is too scared to do: trusting law-abiding citizens over the criminals who prey on them. Low taxes, strong faith, Second Amendment freedom, “Nuclear Family Month,” and now a strong stand for self-defense.
Wear it loud and proud, no matter what state you call home. Make America Tennessee indeed.

America’s Most Conservative State Just Gave Property Owners The Right To Shoot Invaders

Second Amendment

Tennessee leaders made clear that the state values the nuclear family far more than any leftist virtue signaling.
Republican Governor Bill Lee signed a resolution on April 9 designating June as “Nuclear Family Month.” For years, June has been known as Pride Month, when numerous businesses and organizations celebrate every sexuality except heterosexuality and lecture Americans about “acceptance” and “diversity.”
But this year, Tennessee has made June all about traditional families and made clear that the “nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world.”
The resolution also takes a sledgehammer to the leftist pet projects of population control, and instead, prioritizes the growth and development of the traditional family in Tennessee.
“Tennessee’s values do not align with the humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices,” the Tennessee resolution continues, adding, “The nuclear family is under attack in our beloved State and nation, and it is our responsibility to uplift, protect, and support values that help Tennessee prosper.”
Of course, leftists were not happy with Tennessee after Governor Lee signed the resolution. LGBT activists raged against the language put forward in the resolution, giving Tennesseans one more reason to celebrate what makes their state so great.
Tennessee’s traditional, family-oriented resolution sets the tone for a state that has led the nation in pushing back against radical leftist gender ideology. In the past few years, Tennessee — the home of The Daily Wire — has banned life-altering gender procedures on children, prohibited schools from hiding children’s gender “transitions” from parents, prevented boys from competing in girls sports, and ensuring that girls don’t have to share bathrooms and locker rooms with boys who believe they are the opposite sex.
Tennessee has proven to be a state that values traditional morality and common sense, something every state could use a dose of, especially that one big state on the West Coast that everybody is fleeing.
The Daily Wire Shop is celebrating Tennessee’s latest great move and inviting you to do the same by wearing our <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/make-america-tennessee-hat?srsltid=AfmBOoq8bXW6ZoNxGr13wvt2FGeFoIyXMpntBef240FJOtLhpWk7m5OB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Make America Tennessee Hat</a>.

From Pride To Principles: Tennessee Flips The Script On LGBT’s June Takeover

LGBT

Pride Month

A soap company that boasts of its organic products has gone all in on pushing transgenderism.
Dr. Bronner’s, the company that makes “Magic Soap,” believes that men and women can magically switch their genders, and it has an <a href="https://info.drbronner.com/all-one-blog/author/transrights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entire team</a> made up of “trans and nonbinary employees” who are dedicated to making “funding decisions for Dr. Bronner’s trans rights funding portfolio.”
In late March, the soap company <a href="https://info.drbronner.com/all-one-blog/2026/03/trans-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">honored</a> “Trans Day of Visibility” and condemned the Trump administration and conservative states that have imposed policies and passed laws to protect children and women from harmful trans-affirming practices.
While the majority of Americans have no idea when “Trans Day of Visibility” is or why it’s even on some calendars, Dr. Bronner’s dedicated nearly 800 words on its website to celebrating the obscure LGBT holiday. The company also directed readers to eight LGBT advocacy organizations, including organizations that push for gender procedures on children.
“Trans lives in America and beyond are more vulnerable than ever due to rightwing governments’ attacks on human rights, efforts to erase trans and nonbinary people from civic participation, and the increasing obstacles to accessing healthcare, public services, and public spaces,” the company <a href="https://info.drbronner.com/all-one-blog/2026/03/trans-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “Dr. Bronner’s is proud to support trans-led organizations that are dedicated to trans liberation, both locally and nationally.”
Among those organizations supported by Dr. Bronner’s was the Trans Youth Emergency Project, which <a href="https://southernequality.org/tyep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exists</a> to help parents find access to life-altering gender procedures for their gender-confused children. Another group highlighted by the soap company was TransFamily Support Services, which <a href="https://transfamilysos.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a> that it guides gender-confused children and their families to navigate the health care and insurance systems in their quest for gender surgeries.
“Since the change in administration in January 2025, trans rights have decreased dramatically, particularly in the realm of access to public spaces and healthcare. Last year America broke its own record for the sixth consecutive year in number of anti-trans legislation on the federal and state level,” Dr. Bronner’s “Trans Rights Funding Team” <a href="https://info.drbronner.com/all-one-blog/2026/03/trans-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
The company also condemned the Trump administration for working to prevent trans-identifying men from competing against women, including at the Olympics.
Americans are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/03/pride-month-corporate-sponsorship-poll-survey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">growing</a> increasingly skeptical of companies diving into LGBT talking points, and the vast majority of Americans <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3991685-majority-of-americans-oppose-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-trans-women-participating-in-sports-poll/#:~:text=Briefing%20Room-,Majority%20of%20Americans%20oppose%20gender%2Daffirming%20care%20for%20minors%2C%20trans,legislation%20affecting%20the%20LGBTQ%20community." target="_blank" rel="noopener">oppose</a> gender procedures on children. But Dr. Bronner’s decided to make its support of “Trans Visibility” a huge deal and bash conservatives in the process.
At <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a>, we’re dedicated to making quality products, including some great <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/clean-scented-hand-soap?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hand soap</a> and <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/oatmeal-citrus-body-soap?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bar soap</a>, without any radical leftism attached to our business.
Don’t want to give your money to companies that support gender procedures on children, or to companies that are overtly hostile to conservative values? Jeremy’s Razors has you covered.
Jeremy’s Razors pays to bring you stories exposing woke ideology because other brands won’t.

Soap Company Celebrates Transgenderism, Condemns Conservative Push To Protect Children

In 1773, a tax on tea was enough to push people over the edge.
Not because of the cost, but because of what it represented. A government reaching too far into the pockets of its citizens.
So they dumped it into the harbor.
Every April, the government makes sure that it gets its cut. You don&#8217;t get a say. You just get a smaller number at the bottom. Today, the taxes are higher, broader, and unavoidable. Americans are taxed when they earn, when they spend, and when they try to hold onto what&#8217;s left.
And yet, every April, the response is the same.
You file. You pay. You move on. Same as last year. Same as the year before. The Trump administration is citing its highest year in tax refunds as a success, but when you have to pay as much as you do, is that really a win?
What&#8217;s changed isn&#8217;t the burden, though that has gotten progressively higher. It&#8217;s the reaction.
The protest is gone. What&#8217;s left is the decision that comes after: what you do with the money that didn&#8217;t get taken.
Because while you don&#8217;t control the system, you still control where your money goes next.
Nobody&#8217;s overthrowing anything today, but maybe you have some money left over — and the <a href="http://dailywire.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire Shop</a> has a few ideas about what it could get you.
At Jeremy’s Razors, the <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/precision-5-trial-kit-2?_pos=8&amp;_sid=bfcc93cf2&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Precision 5 Razor for men</a> isn&#8217;t trying to save the climate by destroying the economy or teach you something a writers’ union can’t wait to shoehorn into a formerly beloved series. It shaves your face. Exceptionally well. That&#8217;s the whole pitch. 5 stainless steel blades, aloe vera &amp; Argan oil lubrication, and a handle that feels like a firm handshake.
Beyond shaving, the lineup has expanded into everyday essentials that respect your values and your sensibilities. <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/shampoo?_pos=1&amp;_sid=24d5fe848&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shampoo</a>, <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/jeremys-shave-cream-1?_pos=1&amp;_sid=23c3f0322&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shave Cream</a>, and the <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/natural-deodorant?_pos=1&amp;_sid=736d9cd3a&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aluminum-Free Deodorant</a> all land in the same category: straightforward products that work hard without trying to make a statement on your behalf.
Even the newer additions — like the <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/home-all-purpose-cleaner?_pos=1&amp;_sid=1b5d4bd1d&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All Purpose Cleaner</a> and <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/clean-scented-hand-soap?_pos=1&amp;_sid=a465168ee&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hand Soap</a> — keep that same approach, cleansing your home and your hands without the harsh ingredients or lectures. Just something you can use without thinking twice about it.
Meanwhile, as conservative media talk a lot about winning the culture, the Daily Wire decided to actually try.
Michael Knowles’s hit <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no?_pos=1&amp;_sid=60d62dd75&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yes or No Game</a> continues to be The Daily Wire’s Best Seller for a reason — join the thousands of players dying to know how well they know the people around them, and pick up one of the <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no?_pos=1&amp;_sid=60d62dd75&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3 expansion packs</a> to dive deeper.

Use cunning deduction and your character&#8217;s special power to unmask the truth before your rivals do.
And for those who want something quieter, facts don’t care about your feelings, but they can change your atmosphere.

No one&#8217;s dumping tea into the ocean this year.
But the instinct behind it hasn&#8217;t disappeared. It just shows up differently now — in smaller decisions, made individually.

Taxes

The Tax That Sparked A Revolution Was On Tea

Warner Bros. really ticked off Tolkien fans when they dropped a bombshell so outrageous that it had people double-checking to make sure it wasn’t a Babylon Bee headline.
Stephen Colbert. “Lord of the Rings.” A match made in the entertainment underworld.
The internet lost its collective mind when the studio announced that Colbert was attached as co-writer to a project no one asked for. The late-night host is currently wrapping up his 11-year run as the face of “The Late Show” and is bitter as hell on his way out, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stephen-colbert-throws-hissy-fit-over-cbs-enforcing-equal-time-rule-nixing-dem-candidate-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talking smack</a> on President Trump and conservatives. His fifteen viewers will confirm that this is nothing new. But the rhetoric is even more vicious now that he’s got nothing to lose.
And now, somehow, Colbert’s study of and professed love for Tolkien scored him a place at the writer’s table for “Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past.” Film director Peter Jackson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lord-of-the-rings-just-got-handed-over-to-a-trump-hating-late-night-host" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped that bomb</a> on fans last month.
“You know what the books mean to me, and what your films mean to me,” Colbert told Jackson during the video announcement, attempting to justify his place in Tolkien’s realm.
“But the thing I found myself reading over and over again were the six chapters early on in [‘The Fellowship of the Ring’] that y’all never developed into the first movie back in the day. It’s basically the chapter ‘Three Is Company’ [Chapter III] through ‘Fog on the Barrow-Downs’ [Chapter VIII]. And I thought, ‘Oh, wait, maybe that could be its own story that could fit into the larger story. Could we make something that was completely faithful to the books while also being completely faithful to the movies that you guys had already made?’”
Colbert said that he and his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, have been working with Jackson on the project for two years.
The show’s description says, “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.”
Fans were shocked by Colbert’s inclusion, with one reaction summing up the overall feelings nicely. &#8220;Just because someone knows everything about another writer&#8217;s work doesn&#8217;t make them a writer. Or director, or anything even remotely related to making a film,&#8221; one Reddit user <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/stephen-colbert-lord-of-the-rings-movie-fan-reaction-11735627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;They&#8217;ve essentially given the reins over to a fanfiction guy; this will be hot garbage.”
The frustration is about Colbert, sure, but it’s also about trusting Hollywood to tread with care when handling a treasured, unapologetically Christian morality based project. Social media users joked about Colbert including DEI side quests and dancing syringes, which is technically possible from such a devoted progressive. However, even if the virtue signaling winds up being a little subtler, there’s still a lot of ways a late-night comedian can screw this up.

For too long in Hollywood there’s been a lack of quality storytelling with timeless themes and impressive production value. Fans who wanted to be immersed in the story keep getting stuck with liberals writing the scripts.
That all changed when DailyWire+ released “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-pendragon-cycle">The Pendragon Cycle: The Rise of Merlin</a>.”
This adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead&#8217;s bestselling novels blends historical elements of post-Roman Britain with the mythic tales of King Arthur and Merlin. This isn&#8217;t a cynical franchise cash-grab; it’s a genuine effort to reclaim what’s been lost long ago to woke Hollywood.
Filmed in Italy and Hungary, the seven-episode first season premiered in January 2026. The reviews from fans prove that this is what the entertainment world has been missing.
One viewer <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/daily-wire-pendragon-cycle-debate-reviews-1236486056/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described it</a> as &#8220;just as fascinating as Game of Thrones,” It has been praised for the storyline, the characters, the incredible sets, the thrilling stunts, and, crucially, the natural role Christianity plays in the narrative.<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23734948/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>
“Pulp Fiction” screenwriter Roger Avary said he was shocked by how much he loved the series.
The Academy Award-winning producer told Joe Rogan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pulp-fiction-writer-says-the-pendragon-cycle-left-him-completely-blown-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during a podcast appearance</a> in February that he had a “chip on his shoulder” when he started watching “Pendragon” and expected not to like it. But he was impressed not just with the quality, but with how it didn’t come from a major studio.
“They did it on a microbudget, effectively. They made something that… kind of reinvents the mythology, and they do it like proper television, where you kind of love the characters, and they weave an entire reality and universe that is just fantastic. And it’s done for very, very little…”
Avary added, “They’re spending billions making these ‘Lord of the Rings’ things, and nobody cares, they’re just awful to watch. In the meantime, these guys, without anyone paying attention, cranked this out…I am completely blown away by it!”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

The world of Pendragon goes beyond the screen. DailyWire+ also launched an official <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/pendragon-game?_pos=1&amp;_sid=b4b5e35f3&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pendragon Cycle board game</a> to go with it.
This narrative-driven game of deduction drops players into the sacred isle of the Arthurian epic, where they race to uncover which character, location, and weapon holds the secret of the Grail.<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-daily-wire-releases-new-pendragon-inspired-board-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>
Each character comes with a unique special ability to ensure genuine immersion in the Pendragon world.
“The game is very entertaining. The theme of the show and mechanics of the game make you feel truly immersed in the world of the show,” one purchaser wrote.
It’s no longer necessary for historical fantasy fans to consume the slop that Hollywood keeps dishing. On one hand, there are mainstream remakes rehashing what’s been done to make a buck and subvert timeless Christian lore. On the other hand, there’s an epic, character-driven piece of art that deserves all the high praise it received.
If the Colbert announcement left you rolling your eyes, then it’s time to explore new realms and seek alternatives.
All seven episodes of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-pendragon-cycle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin</a>” are streaming now on DailyWire+, and the immersive board game is available at the <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/pendragon-game?_pos=1&amp;_sid=b4b5e35f3&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire Shop</a>.

The Pendragon Cycle

As pornography has become increasingly accessible and accepted in Western society in the 21st century, many people have bought into the argument that consuming porn is harmless and can even be beneficial to a person’s sex life.
Porn consumption has become so normalized that it’s often referred to jokingly or with a sense of nostalgia — as if it’s just a fun guilty pleasure similar to eating a carton of ice cream every once in a while.
But as porn consumption has increased, so has the research showing how porn affects people’s thoughts, attitudes, and actions, and corrupts their view of what love and sex actually look like. Daily Wire host Matt Fradd’s book “<a href="https://store.dailywire.com/collections/matt-fradd-pints-with-aquinas/products/porn-myth-by-matt-fradd?variant=44142717042748" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Porn Myth: Exposing the Reality Behind the Fantasy</a>” dives into the evidence revealing the depth of pornography’s destruction.
While Fradd is never shy about his faith, “The Porn Myth” addresses the issue as a non-religious response to the commonly held belief that pornography is a harmless or even beneficial pastime.
Fradd draws on the experience of porn performers and users, and the expertise of neurologists, sociologists, and psychologists to demonstrate that pornography is destructive to individuals, relationships, and society. He provides insightful arguments, supported by the latest scientific research, to discredit the fanciful claims used to defend and promote pornography.
This book explains the neurological reasons porn is addictive, helps individuals learn how to be free of porn, and offers real help to the parents and the spouses of porn users. Because recent research on pornography&#8217;s harmful effects on the brain validates the experiences of countless porn users, there is a growing wave of passionate individuals trying to change the pro-porn cultural norm by inspiring others to pursue real love and to avoid its hollow counterfeit.
Signed copies of “The Porn Myth” are <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/collections/matt-fradd-pints-with-aquinas/products/porn-myth-by-matt-fradd?variant=44142717042748" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now available on Daily Wire Shop</a>. Get a copy of the book that is part of the movement aiding the many men and women who are seeking a love untainted by warped perceptions of intimacy and rejecting the influence of porn in their lives.

Is Porn Harmless? Matt Fradd Dives Into ‘The Reality Behind The Fantasy’

Pornography

The Ayatollah is dead. The IRGC has no headquarters.
The head of the snake is gone.
With &#8220;Operation Epic Fury,&#8221; Trump has proven that the United States is a strong world superpower that’s unafraid to show force when necessary. And contrary to what the liberal media will tell you, these moves in the Middle East have widespread support.
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/majority-of-voters-back-trumps-operation-epic-fury-view-iran-as-threat-to-global-peace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> of 1,800 likely voters found that most of the American public is on board with the joint U.S.-Israeli mission to wipe out the authoritarian regime.
The poll shows that 56% of likely voters support the United States taking out Iranian leadership, while 63% agree with targeting Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile sites. Nearly 70% of respondents, meanwhile, agree with the Trump administration’s argument that Iran is a “threat to global peace and democracy,” and 76% agree that “if Iran built a nuclear weapon, [it] would pose a direct threat to the United States.”
On Tuesday, Trump explained to reporters in the Oval Office that Iran could have “taken out many countries.”
“If we didn’t do what we’re doing right now, you would’ve had a nuclear war and they would’ve taken out many countries because you know what? They’re sick people. They’re mentally ill, sick people. They’re angry. They’re crazy. They’re sick,” the president said.
Luckily for everyone here at home, living their lives of prosperity and freedom, that never happened because we have a strong, decisive leader in power. Everyone at home is free to celebrate a massive victory with the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the obliteration of Iran’s air defenses and most of their navy.
For 47 years, the Iranian regime killed Americans, funded terror proxies, and screamed &#8220;Death to America.&#8221; They killed over 1,000 U.S. citizens through the IRGC alone. Then Trump came back, and now we are all SO back.
Today there’s only one way to celebrate: by raising a glass and making a toast to freedom. Fill your cup with the sweet taste of American resolve and give this moment the drinking vessel it deserves.
Enter: <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/terrorist-tears-tumbler?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Terrorist Tears Tumbler.</a>
A close cousin to the perennial fan favorite Leftist Tears Tumbler, this cup makes a whole statement without you saying a single word. Each 20 ounce stainless steel tumbler with sweat-proof vacuum insulation keeps drinks hot for 5+ hours or cold for 50+ hours.
Because we know you accept nothing less than the best, it also boasts an air-tight sliding-closure lid, is BPA-free, has a narrow base that fits most cup holders, and is dishwasher safe.
We would&#8217;ve made it with salvaged steel from Iranian naval ships — but they&#8217;re at the bottom of the sea.
Fill this tumbler with whatever you want. Just know that every beverage going forward will taste a lot like freedom. <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/terrorist-tears-tumbler?utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get yours at the Daily Wire Shop.</a>

Raise A Toast To Freedom With The Taste Of Terrorist Tears

Cosmopolitan U.K. just <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/relationships/a70301743/men-dating-icks-non-negotiables/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published the findings</a> from their dating survey and unfortunately it’s even more depressing than expected.
The accompanying article comes with a primer on the dating lingo of today including discussions about having the “ick” and “non-negotiables.” There’s also an entire paragraph dedicated to ways that people keep their distance including “zombie,” “orbit,” “breadcrumb,” “bench,” and “pocket.”
No, this isn’t a joke. This is the absolute state of dating in the year 2026.
The survey asked 250 single men about their dating dealbreakers, and the responses ranged from reasonable (&#8220;being rude to people&#8221;) to oddly specific (&#8220;must not like tickling people&#8221;) to hilarious (&#8220;use of the word &#8216;ick'&#8221;). One man said he doesn’t associate with women who refer to themselves as &#8220;influencers.&#8221; Well, in that case, same.
Buried beneath all the modern dating terminology is a deeper issue: people are exhausted. Instead of just meeting someone, feeling a connection, and going from there, modern men are spending way too much time searching for something that doesn’t exist. They&#8217;re ghosting potential partners for taking too long to text back, and also for texting too often. At this rate, no one will ever move past the “talking phase,” and that’s a really big deal.
Now fewer people are dating, getting married, or having kids than ever before. We&#8217;ve turned courtship into a job interview. Romance, in the way it used to be understood, is dead.
All hope is not lost, however, and dating doesn&#8217;t have to be this miserable forever. It can even be fun again. You know, back when people actually talked to each other instead of swiping left on everyone with the tiniest hint of “ick” potential.
Enter Michael Knowles&#8217; <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/collections/michael-knowles/products/yes-or-no-dating-relationships-expansion-pack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yes or No: Dating and Relationships Expansion Pack</a>. This is a great way to interrogate your date about their dealbreakers in a fun way. With over 125 cards covering everything from interfaith marriages to whether &#8220;fur-babies&#8221; are replacing actual children, this game turns all that obsessive pre-screening into actual conversation.
Will you agree on whether watching porn is cheating? Is dating multiple people simultaneously fine if you&#8217;re not &#8220;exclusive&#8221;? These are the questions inspiring both laughter and deep conversations when everyone&#8217;s cards are on the table. <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/yes-or-no-dating-relationships-expansion-pack?_pos=2&amp;_sid=ebb86dcc4&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grab the deck now and save 25% off until Valentine&#8217;s Day!</a>
Dating should be fun, not terrible. So grab the expansion pack, pour some drinks, and remember that dating isn&#8217;t about finding someone perfect. It&#8217;s finding someone whose imperfections coordinate perfectly with your own.
Happy dating, everyone.

A very important Catholic season is fast-approaching, and The Candle Club’s top-selling scent, <a href="https://thecandleclub.com/products/smells-bells-2026?utm_source=editorial">Smells &amp; Bells</a>, from Michael Knowles, is back just in time for it.
Christians around the globe will recognize Lent beginning on February 18 to focus on spiritual reflection, prayer, and fasting. For hundreds of years, Christians around the world have observed a 40-day period where they slow down, reject some of life’s pleasures, and focus intensely on the things of God.
One of the most important aspects of Lent is getting into an environment that helps you contemplate your mortality.
While Knowles wants your soul to be prepared this Lent, he also wants your home to be ready. And that’s why The Candle Club is bringing back Knowles’ exclusive Lenten candle, <a href="https://thecandleclub.com/products/smells-bells-2026?utm_source=editorial">Smells &amp; Bells</a>.

Smells &amp; Bells — which is defined by the contemplative scents of frankincense and myrrh — is the most popular candle ever sold by The Candle Club, selling out each year. With Smells &amp; Bells, Christians can surround themselves with the essence of a 12th century monastery as they meditate.
Wouldn’t it be more authentic to fill your home with contemplative scents that have accompanied prayer and fasting for hundreds of years, not something called “Ocean Breeze” produced by a name-brand candle giant?
Every Smells &amp; Bells Candle is hand poured in the U.S. with all-natural, U.S.-grown, plant-based wax that contains no paraffin for a clean burn. All fragrances are free from phthalates, toxins, carcinogens, and mutagens, and adhere to IFRA standards for safety and purity. Plus, the natural cotton thread wicks are carefully crafted for a cleaner burn than synthetic wicks.
Along with its authentic frankincense and myrrh scent from traditional Catholic liturgy, Smells &amp; Bells also offers a long-lasting burn throughout the Lenten season and quality honoring sacred tradition.
Don’t wait. Ash Wednesday is coming up fast, and Smells &amp; Bells sells out faster than anything else from <a href="https://thecandleclub.com/products/smells-bells-2026">The Candle Club</a>.
Be intentional about your spiritual reflection this Lent, and <a href="https://thecandleclub.com/products/smells-bells-2026?utm_source=editorial">get the legendary Smells &amp; Bells</a> to fill your home and allow the sacred to engage all of your senses.
