Ever since the death of Nelson Mandela, it&#8217;s fair to call Cyril Ramaphosa one of the few surviving &#8220;founding fathers&#8221; of post-apartheid South Africa. He helped write the country&#8217;s new constitution, which would supposedly usher in a new era of prosperity and equality. He also oversaw the transition to the new government. And as South Africa descended into lawlessness and squalor over the ensuing 30 years, Ramaphosa gradually accumulated more wealth and power, until he finally became the country&#8217;s president in 2018. He&#8217;s currently worth something like half a billion dollars, even as the vast majority of South Africa&#8217;s residents now live in extreme poverty.
What this means is that Ramaphosa is the personification of South Africa&#8217;s post-colonial experiment. When he drafted that new constitution, he presumably did not foresee that, by 2025, the country would have the single highest unemployment rate of any country in the world, at 40%. He certainly didn&#8217;t tell anyone that he eventually planned to sign new laws that would disenfranchise and rob white farmers, or that white people would be systematically slaughtered in their homes. But all of that has happened. And yet, for all this time, no one &#8212; and certainly no world leader &#8212; has held this deranged despot accountable for any of that. Instead, it&#8217;s been something of a tradition in Washington to pretend South Africa is somehow a &#8220;great ally&#8221; to the United States, and to treat Ramaphosa as royalty, as Joe Biden did a few years ago.
That tradition came to a very abrupt end yesterday in the Oval Office, when Donald Trump did something no other political figure has ever done. He told Ramaphosa, to his face in the most public forum imaginable, that he&#8217;s a fraud who&#8217;s overseeing a white genocide. And in the process, Trump took a blowtorch to a mythology that pretty much every politician, from both parties, has been desperate to uphold for several decades.
In order to understand the importance of *what* Donald Trump communicated here, you have to first see exactly how he communicated it. First, of course, Ramaphosa asked the United States for money, because he&#8217;s run his country into the ground and they can&#8217;t even feed themselves anymore. Then a reporter asked a patronizing question about &#8220;what it would take&#8221; for Trump to stop repeating supposedly false claims about white genocide in South Africa. In other words, the reporter is basically calling Trump a liar to his face, and asking him what it would take for him to stop lying. Here&#8217;s how it went:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Trade and Investment FIX" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uXfQW0Uf9_0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So after begging for cash, Ramaphosa essentially validates what the reporter is saying. He says Donald Trump needs to &#8220;listen&#8221; to the people of South Africa, in order to stop lying about the alleged genocide of white people. It&#8217;s probably the most obnoxious answer that he could&#8217;ve come up with, especially after dozens of white South Africans just fled the country in fear of their lives.

But Trump was prepared for it. First of all, Trump asked one of the white golfers that Ramaphosa brought with him &#8212; a two-time U.S. Open winner named Retief Goosen &#8212; what the situation was like in South Africa. And the golfer responded that his father&#8217;s friends, who own farms, have been murdered, and the farms are constantly being torched. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Retief Goosen: &quot;My dad was a property developer as well as a part-time farmer. And yeah, some of his buddy farmers got killed&#8230; it&#39;s a constant battle with — they&#39;re trying to burn the farms down to chase you away.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/93b4YZhpLQ">pic.twitter.com/93b4YZhpLQ</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Again, this is one of the golfers that the president of South Africa brought to the Oval Office, as part of South Africa&#8217;s delegation, hoping he&#8217;d neutralize the supposedly &#8220;fake narrative&#8221; about white genocide. This is one of the people that the president of South Africa demanded, obnoxiously, that Trump &#8220;listen to.&#8221; It didn&#8217;t exactly go as planned &#8212; which probably tells you something about the level of &#8220;planning&#8221; that South Africa&#8217;s government is capable of.
And things only got worse from there, as Trump dimmed the lights in the Oval Office and played a tape of South African politicians openly calling for the murders of white farmers. In other words, Trump once again called Ramaphosa&#8217;s bluff. He &#8220;listened&#8221; to the calls for genocide coming from South Africans &#8212; and he made Ramaphosa, and the rest of the world, listen to it as well. And as you watch this, notice the expression on Ramaphosa&#8217;s face, as he genuinely cannot believe what is happening. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 TRUMP PLAYS THE CLIPS" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vjbIxRwYgSI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you&#8217;ve listened to this show, or been active on social media over the past year or so, then you&#8217;ve seen or heard most of these clips before. And you&#8217;ve heard stories like the ones that Trump just cited. That&#8217;s because in South Africa, black politicians have openly called for genocide for many years now. White farmers have been tortured in their homes for decades, in attacks that are clearly racially motivated. And instead of stopping the carnage, the government has just passed a law allowing the government to seize land from white people without compensating them. All of this has been known for a while now.
But in their coverage of this Oval Office meeting, the corporate press pretended to be surprised by this footage from South Africa. So before we go back to the Oval Office incident yesterday, let&#8217;s take a brief look at that coverage. Here&#8217;s ABC, for example. Watch as they deliberately give the impression that they had never seen anything like this footage before:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 DO NOT KNOW SOURCE" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/90bKXI5hx1E?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;We do not know the source of the videos.&#8221; That&#8217;s pretty extraordinary. There are only two explanations for how that reporter could make a statement like that. Either she&#8217;s monumentally lazy, and she&#8217;s confessing that no one at ABC News is capable of verifying the authenticity of footage that&#8217;s been available on the Internet for years. Or, she&#8217;s deliberately lying to ABC&#8217;s viewers, and trying to get them to believe that the footage might be fake. Those are the options. If anyone at ABC News was actually interested in the truth about what&#8217;s happening in South Africa, they&#8217;d tell their audience that, yes, the footage is real, and that the genocide of white people is something they&#8217;re openly encouraging over there.
For his part, after Trump played the footage in the Oval Office, Cyril Ramaphosa offered this response. As you listen to this, see if you can spot the very familiar sleight of hand he uses. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Response" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K4uVuygKR0I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
First of all, he&#8217;s right that some of the clips show politicians from minority parties in South Africa. That&#8217;s true. But it&#8217;s also not very reassuring, for two reasons. First of all, these minority parties are filling stadiums with tens of thousands of people, chanting about murdering white farmers. So we&#8217;re not talking about one fringe politician here. This is a very common sentiment in South Africa. And secondly, as Trump pointed out, the government of South Africa has just signed legislation that calls for white people to lose their homes and their farms, without any form of compensation whatsoever. That&#8217;s a pretty good indication that, indeed, the government is aiding and abetting the ongoing genocide.
Ramaphosa had no answer to that. Instead, he simply pointed out that, in South Africa, the majority of people who die are black. This is one of those lines that only works if you&#8217;re a race-obsessed, illiterate moron who doesn&#8217;t understand the concept of &#8220;per capita,&#8221; which of course describes most South African leaders. So maybe the talking point works there. But it doesn&#8217;t work when you&#8217;re dealing with intelligent people, because intelligent people recognize the significance of the fact that over 80% of the population of South Africa is black. So obviously, most of the people who are killed in South Africa are going to be black. No one is disputing that.
The relevant question is whether white people (particularly white farmers) are being targeted because of their skin color, and whether they&#8217;re dying at a rate that&#8217;s higher than black people, given that they only make up something like six percent of the population. And of course, no one in South Africa&#8217;s government wants to address those questions, because they know the truth: white farmers are being killed at dramatically higher rates than you&#8217;ll see in literal warzones, or places like Afghanistan. By some estimates, the murder rate for white farmers is something like 150 per 100,000 people. That&#8217;s why white people in South Africa are currently leaving everything behind &#8212; their farms, their homes, everything &#8212; in order to fly to the United States and stay in Holiday Inns off the interstate in Idaho. They&#8217;re not doing it for fun. They&#8217;re doing it because their lives are endangered in South Africa.
But even after Trump explained all of this in the Oval Office &#8212; even after Trump played the evidence of white genocide for the press, and for the president of South Africa &#8212; the corporate press is continuing to lie, universally, about what&#8217;s happening in South Africa. They&#8217;re simply denying that white people are being targeted. We&#8217;ll put a selection of the headlines on the screen now:

I won&#8217;t read all of these, but every single one of them accuses Trump of &#8220;falsely&#8221; spreading claims of white genocide in South Africa. They say Trump &#8220;abused&#8221; the South African president with lies, even though he literally played ten minutes of video for him, and listened to first-hand testimony from the country. Pretty much every media outlet did the same thing. This is one compilation that Chaia Raichick assembled. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 Ambush" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bJCHhId8hZw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This was shameless and coordinated to a pretty amazing degree, even by these people&#8217;s standards. But there was one outlet that told the truth, seemingly by accident. Here was a <a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Grg3ImuXUAAVYNH?format=jpg&amp;name=small" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photo</a> that the AP posted, buried in an image gallery inside their article about how South Africa is supposedly safe for white people.
Here&#8217;s the caption: &#8220;A view of crosses planted at the White Cross Monument, each one marking a white farmer who has been killed in a farm murder, is seen on a hillside [in South Africa.]&#8221;
That&#8217;s the reality of what&#8217;s happening. And occasionally it gets out. But you won&#8217;t find similar reporting at the New York Times. Here&#8217;s how they <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/politics/ernie-els-retief-goosen-south-africa-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a> what the white golfers said in the Oval Office: &#8220;Two of South Africa’s most famous golfers were drawn into a tense Oval Office discussion about race in their country on Wednesday, after President Trump ambushed his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, with videos intended to support his false claim of mass killings of Afrikaners. .. Mr. Goosen &#8230; shared that his relatives on farms lived behind electric fences in fear of crime, like many other South Africans. &#8216;But the guys live a great life, despite what’s going on,&#8217; he said.&#8221;
Yes, that&#8217;s what the New York Times took from the golfer&#8217;s statement. They left out the fact that the farmer&#8217;s friends are dead, that the farms are being torched, and that his elderly 80-year-old mother was attacked in their home. And the reason they left those details out is that, ordinarily, most criminals don&#8217;t set fire to farms or beat old women for no reason whatsoever. But they will do those things if they&#8217;re motivated by racial resentment, which is clearly the case in South Africa.
Over at CNN, meanwhile, they tried to convince their 15 viewers that the song about killing white farmers, which is often repeated at political rallies in South Africa, really isn&#8217;t meant to be taken literally. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="010 Debate" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e9uh_s-ZSkc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
They&#8217;re simply incapable of bringing themselves to say that, yes, it&#8217;s bad to call for the mass executions of white farmers. They can&#8217;t acknowledge that post-colonial South Africa is a failure, for the same reason they can&#8217;t acknowledge that Rhodesia was a functioning, thriving state &#8212; the &#8220;breadbasket of Africa,&#8221; they called it &#8212; while Zimbabwe (the new name for Rhodesia) is a hellhole that needs to import food in order to avert famine. One after another, these post-colonial African states are demonstrating that colonialism wasn&#8217;t so bad after all. In fact, it was a lot better than the alternative.
It&#8217;s obvious why they can&#8217;t admit any of this. Every single Left-wing agenda item &#8212; from the modern civil rights movement to DEI &#8212; is predicated on the idea that past &#8220;oppression,&#8221; as they define it, justifies hand-outs and preferential treatment today. But that logic falls apart when you realize that, any effort to supposedly balance things out and make up for the alleged sins of the past, only means the murder rate would be ten times higher than it was in Afghanistan at the height of the U.S. occupation, everyone would be poor, and elderly women would regularly be tortured and beaten to death in their own homes. That&#8217;s the reality. It&#8217;s gone unsaid for generations, and people in South Africa &#8212; of all races &#8212; have suffered because of it. So have people in this country.
It is a lie that, yesterday in the Oval Office, Donald Trump confronted and debunked in the most direct way that he possibly could. And in doing so, Trump didn&#8217;t just demolish one of the central mythologies of the Left &#8212; one that, until now, has sustained the vast majority of their depraved social experiments. Trump also signaled that, in this administration, doublespeak and innuendo are not going to be the default mode of communication, with foreign leaders or anyone else. Instead, we&#8217;ll be direct. We won&#8217;t cower from the truth, or sugarcoat it with euphemism.
Every single aspect of society would be improved if we all adopted that level of discourse. We need a lot more of this if we&#8217;re going to reverse the damage that South Africa&#8217;s leaders have done &#8212; and more importantly, if we&#8217;re going to prevent that ideology from spreading here. That&#8217;s been the main goal of true conservatives in this country for many years now. And yesterday in the Oval Office, for the first time since the 1960s, Donald Trump gave us reason to think we&#8217;re going to succeed in that effort.

Every so often you hear about so-called &#8220;uncontacted tribes.&#8221; These are people who have never had any interactions with the outside world. They&#8217;re out in the middle of nowhere, in places like the &#8220;Nicobar Islands&#8221; and the Amazon rainforest. And they&#8217;re obviously interesting to talk about, as evidenced by the millions of people who love watching documentaries and YouTube videos about them. Of course, the reason that these tribes capture people&#8217;s imagination is not because there is anything particularly desirable or admirable about their culture or way of life. Instead, they capture people&#8217;s imagination because they offer a glimpse into a world that &#8212; thankfully &#8212; we transcended. They&#8217;re fascinating because, every now and then, it&#8217;s encouraging to look at primitive people and think to ourselves: &#8220;As bad as things are, at least we aren’t still living like that.&#8221; We can use these tribes as an opportunity to reflect on all the human progress that&#8217;s occurred out here in civilization. Maybe no one will admit this out loud. But it&#8217;s true.
And it&#8217;s not just &#8220;uncontacted tribes&#8221; who fill this role in modern society. They&#8217;re maybe the most prominent example, but they&#8217;re certainly not the only ones. In particular, in recent years, it&#8217;s become pretty apparent that the organization known as the &#8220;WNBA&#8221; serves a very similar function. The WNBA, very clearly, is not a viable product from an entertainment perspective. It loses tens of millions of dollars every year. There has never been a genuine business case for keeping the WNBA alive. Even with the historic level of interest the public now has in the league — historic by WNBA standards — it’s still not viable. Because literally all of that interest is focused on just one player, Caitlin Clark.
And yet, with all that said, it&#8217;s time to admit that the WNBA, despite all appearances, isn&#8217;t actually useless &#8212; at least not completely. Like the tribesmen who have never heard of things like the &#8220;telephone&#8221; or &#8220;electricity,&#8221; the WNBA serves a purpose, albeit a very twisted one. In a sense, it exists outside of time and space. It&#8217;s a window into an alternative dimension, where humans didn&#8217;t respond to economic incentives or social pressures, or value things like &#8220;talent&#8221; or &#8220;competitiveness&#8221; or anything like that. The WNBA, because it&#8217;s propped up by Left-wing executives at the NBA who inexplicably have no problem losing large amounts of money every year, is immune from the normal demands of civilization as we know them. And in practice, that means that, if we take a look at how things are going at the WNBA, we can get a pretty good sense of how exactly the country would be doing, if we had gotten stuck back in 2020 and never moved on from the BLM race hysteria. Thanks to the WNBA, we don&#8217;t have to wonder about that anymore.
Instead, all we have to do is tune into Opening Day of the 2025 WNBA season, which took place on Saturday. Yes, in just one day &#8212; the first day of the season &#8212; the WNBA, for all intents and purposes, completely fell apart. The entire league, which serves as the platonic ideal of a progressive enterprise, devolved instantaneously into a race hoax and some inevitable racial outrage. No one&#8217;s even pretending to talk about the different teams in the WNBA, or the &#8220;power rankings,&#8221; or whatever. Instead, once again, they&#8217;re talking about white supremacy and racism.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1601-the-wnba-season-just-started-and-there-was-already-an-insane-race-hoax?elementPosition=0&amp;location=Home%20Tab&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Home%20Featured%20Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
The drama officially began in the third quarter of a game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. The Indiana Fever is the team that Caitlin Clark plays for. And the Chicago Sky is the name of the team that Caitlin Clark&#8217;s arch-nemesis, Angel Reese, plays for. If you&#8217;re cynical, you might conclude that the WNBA intentionally created this match-up for opening day in order to generate exactly the kind of racial controversy that followed. But for all I know, these are the only two teams that exist in the WNBA, so maybe they had to schedule it this way. Regardless, I&#8217;ll play the dramatic moment from the third quarter. Here it is:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Clark Accused of Push" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HHuObFeFr6U?start=3&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In case you missed it, we&#8217;ll play the relevant part back, in slow motion:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 The foul" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ucyi1zOQk80?start=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
As you can see, Angel Reese &#8212; number 5 &#8212; pushes another player with two hands, as she&#8217;s trying to get the rebound. Apparently, the player that Angel Reese pushed is named &#8220;Natasha Howard&#8221; or something like that. In any event, it&#8217;s a clear foul. But it&#8217;s not called. You can see that Caitlin Clark is stunned that the foul wasn&#8217;t called. She&#8217;s sticking out both arms in protest.
And then, once Reese gets the rebound, Clark fouls her on purpose. This is called a &#8220;take foul&#8221; in basketball. And in context, the &#8220;take foul&#8221; makes sense. She wants to prevent Reese from getting the easy layup, so she has to foul quickly, before she begins the shot. (If she waits too long, then it&#8217;s a shooting foul, and a potential three-point play.)
Now, if you watched this moment and you&#8217;re not an alien who&#8217;s completely unfamiliar with basketball or human interaction, it&#8217;s one of the least remarkable sequences that you can imagine: The refs blew a call. And then Clark attempted to end the play as quickly as possible, which every basketball player in her position is taught to do. It’s all very normal. Everything makes sense so far. But sense — common sense —  is suspended in the WNBA. That&#8217;s why, moments after this incident took place, a reporter asked Caitlin Clark the single most loaded question that&#8217;s ever been asked in professional sports. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Reporter asking Clark" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a9JMYbz-gts?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yeah, what &#8220;point were you trying to make&#8221; with that foul? Were you trying to say that black people should be enslaved again? Were you saying that the 2020 election was stolen? What specific genocide were you endorsing, when you committed that foul?
This is the kind of ridiculous, obviously fake journalism that you see in the sports world all the time. But it&#8217;s particularly common in the WNBA. None of these reporters posed the same questions to Angel Reese when she <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1802396846251487726" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1802396846251487726&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1747932600570000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3lmTOe4B1kAEHN4TufWI8M">elbowed</a> Caitlin Clark in the head last year, or when she <a href="https://x.com/SocialMediaAnt1/status/1923844651926143398" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://x.com/SocialMediaAnt1/status/1923844651926143398&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1747932600570000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2WN15k9MXCCHOwd_EIQWUK">celebrated</a> on the sideline when Clark was blindsided and knocked over by another player. None of these people have ever asked whether Brittney Griner is really a woman, either. They don&#8217;t care about questions that are actually grounded in reality. But they&#8217;re asking Caitlin Clark these very stupid questions because, in the alternative universe of the WNBA, they honestly believe that this kind of lazy race-baiting is still persuasive.
But very few people are falling for it. Robert Griffin III, the former Redskins quarterback, was one of the most prominent voices to call out this fraudulent narrative. He <a href="https://x.com/RGIII/status/1923861525778808917" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, &#8220;After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark. I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some &#8216;basketball rivalry hate&#8217; either. Hate.&#8221;
RG3 also posted commentary about the incident, in which he pointed out all the other times that Reese has attacked Caitlin Clark, physically and otherwise. And then he pointed to Reese&#8217;s own words, in which she described herself as one of the league&#8217;s villains. Here&#8217;s part of what he said:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark.
It’s staring us all right in the face, but people are afraid to say it.
Won’t answer questions about Caitlin Clark.
Gets mad when people praise Caitlin Clark for the explosion of popularity around Women’s Basketball.

You can agree or disagree with RG3&#8217;s perspective, or not care in the slightest either way. Regardless, in the world of sports commentary, RG3&#8217;s statements crossed a very clear line. He refused to endorse the latest narrative of racial grievance. And therefore, various commentators lined up to attack him in extremely personal terms. No one was more eager to attack RG3 than Ryan Clark, the former NFL player. Watch as Clark unloads on RG3 &#8212; not for his opinions, but for the crime of marrying a white woman. Apparently, because his wife is white, RG3 is disqualified from commenting on any topic involving Caitlin Clark. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Ryan Clark" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zRVfqHz5MNw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s an incredible window into how racial politics, in every case, demolishes any potential for civilized, rational discussion. It&#8217;s a race to the bottom, every single time. Instead of talking about arguments or substance, everything boils down to your skin color &#8212; or your wife&#8217;s skin color, in this case. And from what I can tell, executives at the WNBA realized how bad this whole narrative was going for them. Therefore, in order to distract from the fake Caitlin Clark controversy and the transparent anti-white rhetoric that ensued, they concocted the idea that the crowd at this game had actually unleashed racial slurs on Angel Reese and her teammates.
This is the AP&#8217;s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/angel-reese-sky-racial-slurs-f77dd6072d1bcb0fc327ed72bbcf0b73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> on the ongoing investigation: &#8220;The WNBA is investigating racial comments directed toward Angel Reese by fans during the Chicago Sky’s loss to Caitlin Clark and the Fever at Indiana on Saturday, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the league had not publicly identified the subject of the taunts or who made the allegations. &#8216;The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society,&#8217; the league said in a statement. &#8216;We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter.'&#8221; The article adds that the WNBA Players Union also released a statement, which asserted that &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and &#8220;hateful&#8221; comments were uttered during the game.
Now, if this sounds familiar, it&#8217;s exactly what happened last September, when I last made the mistake of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/race-baiting-wnba-players-are-sabotaging-their-own-league-out-of-spite" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dailywire.com/news/race-baiting-wnba-players-are-sabotaging-their-own-league-out-of-spite&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1747932600570000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0iYXGifLbY8N7kHiYLJLGx">talking about</a> the WNBA. Back then, there were reports that slurs had been directed at Brittney Griner while he/she/they was playing a game. But, curiously enough, no audio or video surfaced that proved anyone was uttering those slurs. Even though there were television cameras and smartphones everywhere in the stadium, no one caught any of these naughty words on video. And once again, that&#8217;s the case here. No one can quote these &#8220;racial comments,&#8221; or point to any proof they occurred. In fact, Tyler Marsh, the head coach of the Chicago Sky, said he didn&#8217;t hear any slurs from courtside. The first time he heard about any alleged slurs was when the media told him about them. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Tyler Marsh" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mk5mhww9Ud4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well, it looks like the KKK ghosts are back again. After their first appearance in September, they&#8217;ve returned to torment the WNBA for reasons that no one can explain. On opening night, these racist ghosts once again purchased tickets to see WNBA games, because of course, racists love spending money on the WNBA. And then, as the game progressed, the racist ghosts decided to drop n-bombs that only the players could hear. The coaches couldn&#8217;t hear them. The TV cameras and cell phones couldn&#8217;t pick them up. But rest assured, the ghosts were definitely being racist. And we should all be very troubled by their behavior.
The WNBA explicitly encourages narratives like this to develop. In fact, just this year, they launched something called &#8220;No Space for Hate,&#8221; which the AP describes as &#8220;a multi-dimensional platform designed to combat hate and promote respect across all WNBA spaces both online and in arenas.&#8221; In other words, they have a whole program that&#8217;s designed to lend credibility to the idea that random people are buying tickets to WNBA games, only to unleash racial slurs once they get there.
In reality, as you can tell from the footage of this game that was uploaded online, the handful of people in attendance weren&#8217;t being racist. They were booing, though, because the product the WNBA sells &#8212; from the quality of the referees to the quality of most of the players &#8212; is complete garbage. The booing is evident in many videos. But the racial slurs were not. And that&#8217;s why, when she was asked about these alleged racial slurs, Angel Reese rattled off a few meaningless statements &#8212; including a reference to the WNBA policy on &#8220;hate speech.&#8221; But at no point did she describe the allegedly &#8220;racist&#8221; remarks that she presumably would have heard, since she was on the court. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 Angel Reese" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KVnwUrC7e1A?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
She&#8217;s not exactly talking like someone who actually heard anything during the game. Even if you don&#8217;t know anything about this particular incident, it doesn&#8217;t sound remotely like she&#8217;s telling the truth. Instead, she&#8217;s making it very clear, once again, that she&#8217;s an actor, and not a particularly convincing one. Her job, as RG3 pointed out, is to play the villain of the WNBA, so that they can generate some drama. These people believe that if they generate enough fake storylines about racist fans and non-existent flagrant fouls, then people might actually watch the games. And then they can scrape together some cash instead of losing another $40 million this year.
But it won&#8217;t work, for the same reason that the BLM hysteria of 2020 ultimately didn&#8217;t work. The WNBA is the perfect encapsulation of every deranged impulse of modern leftism that the rest of society is rejecting. The hoaxes simply aren&#8217;t effective anymore. Manufactured narratives about phantom acts of racism, without any kind of evidence whatsoever, convince no one. And yet, for all the millions of dollars they burn every year on high-priced consultants, the WNBA is one of the few remaining organizations on the planet that doesn&#8217;t seem to realize this. The WNBA stands, virtually alone, as a reminder of what this country would have looked like if we hadn&#8217;t reversed course after the George Floyd hysteria and the &#8220;defund the police&#8221; movement and so on. And in that sense &#8212; and only that sense &#8212; it&#8217;s fair to say that the WNBA, against all odds, actually does serve something of a purpose. It&#8217;s a reminder of a giant bullet that this country dodged. And every time the league releases a dumb statement about &#8220;legitimate basketball plays,&#8221; or some 80-IQ sports commentator accuses Caitlin Clark of racism for committing a foul, we should thank God that the rest of the country has nothing in common with the WNBA.

It was just a few days ago that we discussed the extreme level of disdain that Democrats were displaying, seemingly out of nowhere, toward a small number of white refugees who were arriving in the United States. All at once, the same people with the yard signs that proclaim &#8220;no one is illegal&#8221; and &#8220;love is love&#8221; were suddenly overcome with bloodlust, all because a handful of Afrikaners landed at Dulles airport. In the history of &#8220;mask-off moments&#8221; in this country, this one ranks pretty high on the list. It&#8217;s a bit like when the Manson Family single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the hippie movement. Once you start talking about murdering people &#8212; or actually murdering people &#8212; you can&#8217;t really recover from it. No one&#8217;s going to buy your &#8220;peace and love&#8221; schtick ever again. They&#8217;re going to see you for exactly what you are.
In the case of the Afrikaners, what underlies the race hatred on the Left is their transparent desire to see all of Western civilization crumble. Everyone understands that now. They want to import Somali fraudsters and Central American gangsters while turning away white farmers precisely because they know that the white farmers will improve this country, while the criminals will destroy it. There has never been another point in American history where the political divide has been so stark: One side wants the United States to prosper, while the other wants the entire continent to devolve into a dysfunctional wasteland. They want to bring ruin to one of the few remaining functional countries on the planet. What this means is that, in essence, Democrats have adopted nihilism. They do not believe human life has any inherent worth or purpose. They reject truth and objectivity in all contexts. They are anti-human, and they&#8217;re no longer being very subtle about it.
For years, it&#8217;s been evident that nihilists and pro-human conservatives have been on a collision course. After all, these are not remotely compatible ideologies. They are not capable of co-existing in one place for any significant length of time. Humanity, simply by existing, enrages anti-human nihilists. And these nihilists are realizing that, despite their best efforts, there&#8217;s only so much destruction you can achieve by importing the third world and murdering children in the womb. Therefore, it was only a matter of time until one of these nihilists decided to take matters into his own hands and commit an act of terrorism. And on Saturday morning, that&#8217;s exactly what happened.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mws-ep-1600-member-exclusive?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
Just before noon, less than an hour from downtown Palm Springs, California, a 25-year-old man detonated a vehicle-borne explosive device in the car park outside a fertility clinic called &#8220;American Reproductive Centers.&#8221; According to the authorities, the result was &#8220;the largest bombing scene that we&#8217;ve had in Southern California.&#8221; Several people were injured. Offices were damaged, although the lab at the fertility clinic, which houses eggs and embryos, was not affected. One man was thrown from his bike, and the impact was felt two miles away. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Police say Palm Springs bombing near fertility clinic was intentional" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xwFA1KrUxQc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can listen to that whole news report, and you won&#8217;t find any explanation of the suspect&#8217;s motives. And you know why that is: It&#8217;s highly inconvenient for these people to tell the truth about Left-wing terrorism, because they&#8217;re still trying to convince everyone that white supremacy is the greatest threat facing the country. So here&#8217;s the truth: The bomber left behind extensive writings and audio recordings on the internet, meticulously explaining that he committed this act of terrorism as part of a &#8220;war against pro-lifers.&#8221; Those are his words. He says that &#8220;the bible is slander against Satan,&#8221; that God is a &#8220;creep,&#8221; and that &#8220;Your God definitely doesn&#8217;t exist, but if he did, I&#8217;d choose satan over your evil God.&#8221; The bomber also states that he wants to begin the process of &#8220;sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.&#8221; There&#8217;s also reportedly some rage against Elon Musk, who famously opposes the depopulation of the planet.
A day before the attack, according to researcher Erin Cruz, the bomber openly <a href="https://x.com/ghostmthr/status/1924158158471098647" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> his plans on a message board devoted to &#8220;sanctioned suicide,&#8221; right down to the precise bomb-making techniques he planned to use, and how he planned to be high on opiates at the time of the explosion. But apparently no one reported this post, even though several people &#8220;liked&#8221; it and responded. If this reporting is accurate, and it appears to be, then it&#8217;s obviously yet another indictment of our intelligence services. It&#8217;s also a sign of how pervasive this anti-human death cult is. There are entire communities devoted to ending the human race. And even when they&#8217;re talking about acts of terrorism, no one&#8217;s paying any attention to them.
But we should be paying attention, because what happened on Saturday was not an aberration. Nihilism is the guiding ethos of the elites, which is why every day, they&#8217;re promoting it in one context or another. Maybe the most striking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/controversy-rages-as-brain-dead-woman-kept-alive-to-save-unborn-child?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Controversy+Rages+As+Brain-Dead+Woman+Kept+Alive+To+Save+Unborn+Child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">case</a> involves the Left&#8217;s current effort to secure the murder of a 21-week-old child in the state of Georgia. Here&#8217;s the background. In February, a 30-year-old woman named Adriana Smith was nine weeks pregnant when she began suffering from severe headaches. She went to the hospital, which gave her medications and sent her home. The next day, according to her boyfriend, she began gasping for air and making gurgling noises. A CT scan showed that she had multiple blood clots in her brain. As of now, she&#8217;s 21 weeks pregnant and brain-dead. She&#8217;s been kept alive on a ventilator for months so that she can give birth. In other words, the doctors are doing everything they can to preserve the life of the unborn child.
This is an outcome that, unless you&#8217;re a demon who despises humanity, you would obviously support. The alternative is to kill the child solely because his mother is brain-dead. But that alternative outcome is precisely what the corporate press is pushing for. In fact, it also appears to be what the woman&#8217;s family is pushing for. The woman&#8217;s mother, April Newkirk, just gave an interview with NBC News, where she suggested that they might want to kill the child because of the possibility that it will be difficult to raise him. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Pregnant woman declared brain dead is being kept alive due to Georgia’s heartbeat law" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I4c-P0ZYSbo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can tell what&#8217;s going on here. She understands that, if she comes out and tells doctors to murder her own grandchild, everyone will immediately recognize what a cartoonishly evil goblin that she is. So instead, she suggests that she just wants the &#8220;choice&#8221; to decide whether to kill her grandchild, without saying definitively whether she&#8217;d follow through with it. (Never mind the fact that, obviously, the only reason she&#8217;d want the &#8220;choice&#8221; is so that she can exercise that choice).
And that&#8217;s evident by the end of the interview, where she states that she&#8217;s &#8220;in her 50s,&#8221; and therefore she&#8217;s incapable of taking care of a child. That&#8217;s literally one of the excuses she uses to murder her own grandchild. &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m in my 50s and so is my husband; how could I possibly help raise this child? Better kill him instead.&#8221; Just pause to consider the implications of that statement for a second. And then realize that a major television network aired it, sympathetically, as if there&#8217;s nothing deranged and demonic about it. She&#8217;s looking at one tragedy &#8212; the death of her daughter &#8212; and then openly fantasizing about killing another member of her family. There are women in their 90s who would leap at the opportunity to help raise their grandchild, especially if it meant saving his life. But this woman&#8217;s just too old for that, apparently. Of course, if she were in her 20s or 30s, we&#8217;d be hearing about how the grandchild is just too inconvenient for her career or whatever. These people will rationalize murder in one way or another. That&#8217;s a given.
Now, to be as fair as possible to this force of personified evil that walks among us, she does offer another excuse, besides being &#8220;in her 50s.&#8221; She also says that it&#8217;s possible her grandchild might be &#8220;blind, and may not be able to walk.&#8221; Therefore, we&#8217;re supposed to sympathize with her decision to kill the child. Again, in a functioning, moral society, this woman would be in prison for plotting to kill her disabled grandchild. At the very least, she&#8217;d be receiving a psych evaluation as we speak. Instead, she&#8217;s being encouraged to say all of this. The corporate press and the Left are completely behind her. And of course that&#8217;s *why* she&#8217;s doing it. She&#8217;s flippantly justifying the murder of her own grandchild because, for her whole life, she&#8217;s been told that it&#8217;s her right to commit murder. And she lacks the moral character and intelligence to come to any other conclusion.
For Democrats and the media, the angle is pretty clear. They&#8217;re suggesting that Georgia&#8217;s &#8220;heartbeat law,&#8221; which bans abortions after roughly six weeks in most cases, has resulted in a dystopian scenario where women are being chained to beds and forced to give birth. They&#8217;re not talking about the life of the child at all. They&#8217;re not even discussing the extraordinary circumstances involved in this particular case. Instead, they&#8217;re pretending that women are going to be lined up, enslaved and turned into baby-making machines, at scale. Here&#8217;s one representative social media <a href="https://x.com/DarthandDogs/status/1923383548880331217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> — it has more than five million views and hundreds of thousands of &#8220;likes&#8221;:
&#8220;Remember the episode in the Handmaid&#8217;s Tale, where a brain dead, black handmaid is kept on life support long enough to give birth? This is happening in Atlanta, GA right now. Her name is Adriana Smith. She was only 9wks when the state kidnapped her body from her family.&#8221;
Yes, the state &#8220;kidnapped her body from her family,&#8221; according to this post. Of course, they omit any explanation of what actually happened. They don&#8217;t explain that the alternative is to murder the child, either. Instead, we just get a pop culture reference. And this really gets at a larger problem, which is that a large proportion of the population is only capable of engaging in any kind of moral reasoning by using analogies to recent works of fiction.
This is how most Democrats are taught to think. And of course, they dutifully obey. But it&#8217;s not how the leaders of the Democrat Party think. They&#8217;re far more intelligent, and far more evil. And if you listen to them long enough, they&#8217;ll explain exactly what they have in mind for the future of this country. They won&#8217;t simply embrace the so-called &#8220;great replacement&#8221; theory. They&#8217;ll go into great detail, explaining why it&#8217;s bad for Americans to have nuclear families and to believe in Christ. They&#8217;ll also elaborate on why it&#8217;s better for foreigners to come into this country and have large families to replace all of the natives. Here&#8217;s Hillary Clinton to explain:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Clinton anti catholic" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hAi-HnEe3y4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
We&#8217;ve been having a lot of &#8220;mask off&#8221; moments lately on the Left. This is one of the more revealing ones. Notice what she&#8217;s *not* saying. She&#8217;s not explaining what&#8217;s wrong with Christianity. She&#8217;s also not explaining why it&#8217;s wrong to advocate for stable, two-parent households. Twenty years ago, this would&#8217;ve been an issue that 100% of Americans would agree on. Every single person would&#8217;ve told you that intact, two-parent households are a good thing. But now we have one of the most prominent Democrats in the world stating, as if it&#8217;s obvious to everyone, that it&#8217;s bad to advocate for Christian nuclear families.
And then she immediately reveals exactly what she doesn&#8217;t like about the nuclear family. She wants illegal aliens, whom she calls &#8220;undocumented,&#8221; to &#8220;replenish&#8221; the American population. She wants this country to lose its national identity as quickly as possible. And the nuclear family stands in the way of that. Of course, even if Hillary Clinton really believed that foreign nationals are a net benefit to the American economy &#8212; which they aren&#8217;t &#8212; there&#8217;s still no reason whatsoever for her to advocate *against* stable American families. That part of her argument is completely unexplained. You&#8217;d think she&#8217;d support foreign migration in addition to American families. But she doesn&#8217;t. She only supports the illegal aliens because she knows that, eventually, they will completely replace this country&#8217;s population. And once they do that, every country will be just as dysfunctional as Somalia and Haiti and Venezuela. Food shortages and disease will spread, and millions of people will die. Hillary Clinton knows all of this, and she&#8217;s doing everything in her power &#8212; which is thankfully limited at the moment &#8212; to make it happen.
And that tells you, for at least the third time this week, that Democrats are fundamentally an anti-human party. They reject the idea that human life has any intrinsic value. They also despise Western civilization and see third-world migration as a way to destabilize and destroy it. And anti-natalism is the core plank of this ideology. It&#8217;s evident in the terrorist attack in California. It&#8217;s evident in this deranged effort by a grandmother to unlock the &#8220;option&#8221; of murdering her own grandchild. And it&#8217;s evident if you listen to Hillary Clinton speak for five seconds. This is a worldview that&#8217;s taken hold at every level of the Left. It&#8217;s only sustainable because most people don&#8217;t see what&#8217;s happening. For the sake of the future generations &#8212; generations that these people badly do not want to exist &#8212; it&#8217;s time to start paying attention.

A hallmark of the late Soviet period was that no one actually knew who was running the country. Leonid Brezhnev, who supposedly ordered the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, could barely speak in public. There was a concerted effort by the Politburo to hide his decline, to the extent that they could. By the final few years, it was clear that Brezhnev wasn&#8217;t actually making any decisions at all. Then, when Brezhnev finally died in 1982, he was replaced with Yuri Andropov &#8212; who, from the moment he took office, was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/11/world/us-doctors-believe-andropov-had-failing-kidney-when-he-took-office.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suffering</a> from severe kidney failure that often led to his complete incapacitation. Of course, that fact wasn&#8217;t disclosed to anyone at the time. But after Andropov died a little over a year into his term, the Soviets released medical files revealing he had been on dialysis practically the whole time he was in office. At that point, Andropov was replaced by someone named Konstantin Chernenko. And you can probably guess how that went. For his part, Chernenko was *also* suffering from debilitating health problems &#8212; including heart failure and emphysema &#8212; from the moment he took over. And once again, these problems were hidden, at least until he died while in office after 13 months on the job. And once again, in those 13 months, he spent a lot of his time in the hospital, unable to perform his duties. Yes, the Soviet Union cycled through three mostly unaccountable, incapacitated leaders in rapid succession, all while hiding their respective conditions from the public. You don&#8217;t need to be a student of history to know how that worked out, or what happened to the Soviet Union a few years later. Everything collapsed.
For many years, it&#8217;s gone without saying that, in this country, we don&#8217;t want to emulate the Soviet model of governance. Instead of being governed by a shadowy Politburo or an unelected bureaucracy of some kind, we&#8217;ve always understood that it&#8217;s critically important to have a competent, healthy president at the head of the federal government. That&#8217;s why members of the Cabinet, as well as members of Congress, have a constitutional duty to remove the president if, during his term, he becomes incapable of serving. It&#8217;s also why White House doctors release regular reports about the health of the president. Any effort to subvert this model of transparency &#8212; to revert to a Soviet style of governance, where no one knows who&#8217;s in charge &#8212; can only be interpreted in one way: It&#8217;s an attempt to undermine and ultimately destroy the foundations of this country, just as the Soviet Union was destroyed. And the people responsible for any kind of effort like that should be imprisoned as traitors to this country, because that&#8217;s exactly what they are.
During Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency, we&#8217;ve known for some time that his handlers were hiding some of the most dramatic evidence of his mental decline. As egregious as this cover-up was, it wasn&#8217;t entirely effective because people could still observe many signs of Joe Biden&#8217;s decline in public. What we didn&#8217;t know, until yesterday, is that Biden&#8217;s handlers were almost certainly hiding another very important piece of information, which is that Joe Biden was also suffering from terminal, stage 4 prostate cancer that&#8217;s spread to his bones &#8212; an aggressive cancer that will almost certainly kill him in a matter of years, if not sooner. In other words, it&#8217;s the kind of disease that, if Joe Biden had been elected in November, would almost certainly mean that Kamala Harris would be installed as the president of the United States. And there&#8217;s very good reason to believe that they hid Joe Biden&#8217;s diagnosis from the public in an attempt to secure exactly that outcome.

It’s just impossible to believe that Joe Biden went from a perfectly clean bill of health &#8212; which his doctor provided in 2024 &#8212; to having stage 4 cancer in a matter of six months. Pretty much every expert in the field is unanimous on this point. For example, NewsNation just spoke to a urologist named David Shusterman. Shusterman pointed out that prostate cancer is typically a slow-growing cancer that&#8217;s easily detectable by using a PSA blood test, long before it spreads. And as a president, Joe Biden would presumably be receiving these regular tests. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Biden Diagnosed" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dW1ois7uXIw?start=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to this urologist, it&#8217;s &#8220;pretty much unheard of&#8221; to get a diagnosis of stage 4 prostate cancer out of the blue in a situation like this. Even in poor areas without good healthcare, he says, it&#8217;s the kind of thing that happens when patients don&#8217;t get regular screenings for many years. And then he states that Biden may have had this cancer for a period of five to ten years &#8212; before he was in office.
And that appears to be the consensus. As Steven Quay, a prominent doctor and scientist, <a href="https://x.com/quay_dr/status/1924208125349171299" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it</a>: &#8220;Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.&#8221;
In an interview with Reuters, Dr. Chris George, who serves as the medical director of Northwestern Health Network’s cancer program, offered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this assessment</a>: “I would assume that the former president gets a very thorough physical every year. I would be interested to know what his PSA was the last time it was checked. &#8230; It’s sort of hard for me to believe that he’s had a PSA within the past year, that was normal. .. It’s possible. It’s definitely possible, but that would surprise me … Usually prostate cancer doesn’t, you know, go full throttle like this too often. When it does, that’s usually a bad, bad sign. That’s an aggressive cancer for sure. But it does seem odd to me.”
This is about as close as you&#8217;ll get to a doctor who believes that the official narrative is plausible. But even he thinks they should&#8217;ve been checking Biden&#8217;s PSA levels, and he wants to know what they were. Here&#8217;s the problem: If you go back and pull up Biden&#8217;s medical reports, you won&#8217;t see anything about his PSA level. And at the moment, we have no indication of whether they were checking his PSA levels at all. In 2019, Biden&#8217;s doctors reported that he had an enlarged prostate, but no cancer. You&#8217;d think that, perhaps, that might trigger some extra urgency for regular PSA screenings, but apparently not. Then in 2024, Biden&#8217;s physician reported that he was &#8220;a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.&#8221; But again, nothing about the PSA levels. There&#8217;s also nothing in the reports to indicate he was being treated in any way for cancer.
At the same time, CNN just interviewed a doctor who stated that, when prostate cancer is being treated, symptoms can include cognitive impairment and fatigue &#8212; which are both symptoms that Joe Biden obviously displayed during the campaign. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 CNN fatigue and weight loss" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gdqfbJ5VZSI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The urologist we showed earlier, Dr. Shusterman, said the same thing in his interview with NewsNation. These treatments can cause cognitive impairments. So that raises some more questions. Do we know that Joe Biden was receiving any of these cancer treatments that fried his brain and made him so tired that, according to his own aides, he wasn&#8217;t able to function after dark? At the moment, no, we don&#8217;t. But we also don&#8217;t have any reason to believe Biden&#8217;s handlers when they say he wasn&#8217;t taking these treatments &#8212; especially given all of their other lies, and given his behavior while in office. And that really would be the scandal of the century. Imagine if it turned out that Joe Biden was only senile because they were treating him for terminal cancer that they wouldn&#8217;t disclose. At this point, you can&#8217;t put it past any of these people.
In any event, it&#8217;s impossible to ignore the fact that they&#8217;re floating this possibility on CNN just a couple of days before the release of Jake Tapper&#8217;s new book, which goes in-depth about Joe Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline. And that presents yet another reason to doubt the official narrative, which is that Biden&#8217;s cancer was suddenly discovered this week. It looks a lot like they&#8217;re releasing this diagnosis in order to change the subject and garner sympathy for Biden. In fact, David Axelrod has no problem admitting that. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Axelrod pipe down" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DdpOPoe2w7Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s a very thinly veiled command. He&#8217;s essentially saying, now that we&#8217;ve told you Joe Biden is dying, please stop talking about how we covered up his mental decline as well as his cancer. And of course, CNN and the other networks will follow David Axelrod&#8217;s command.
To be clear: Saving the news of Joe Biden&#8217;s cancer diagnosis for *two days before the book release* in order to change the subject and garner sympathy is diabolical. I’ve never seen anything so cynical in my life. But that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re doing. They&#8217;d rather you don&#8217;t pay any attention to all of the evidence that they lied and deceived the public for several years, in one of the greatest scandals of American history. Watch:

They don&#8217;t want you asking any questions about any of this. They genuinely believe that, now that they&#8217;ve told us Joe Biden has cancer, all of this will go away.
But it won&#8217;t go away. Instead, it&#8217;s just become a much more serious crisis, in fact. At this point, there are several questions that need to be answered immediately. First: When was Joe Biden actually diagnosed with cancer? Was he treated in any way for prostate cancer at any time while he was in office? If so, who knew about these treatments and participated in the cover-up? And did they secretly treat him — or did they not treat him, because the only way to keep it hidden was to do nothing about it? Or did they want the disease to kill him quickly after his re-election so that Kamala could take over?
We are well past the point where we can take any Democrat&#8217;s word for any of this. Cable news hits on CNN aren&#8217;t sufficient. At this point, we need Congress to step up and actually do something for a change. We need full congressional investigations into this cover-up. Put people under oath. Every staffer. Jill Biden. Everyone.
Whatever the case, it’s now clear that their plan to engineer the first female president was to push through a cancer-riddled dementia patient, get him re-elected by any means necessary, let him die, and then have her take over. That&#8217;s undeniable at this point. It’s the most ruthless, cold-blooded plot we’ve ever seen in American politics. These people are demons. Like their counterparts in the final days of the Soviet Union, they obscured vital information that every American is entitled to. In fact, the Free Press <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/the-joe-biden-cover-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that &#8220;Administration staffers referred to Biden’s close-knit team of top advisers as The Politburo.&#8221; So they knew what they were doing. They knew they were acting like Soviet puppet-masters. And they&#8217;re still doing it. They&#8217;re refusing to answer the ultimate question that we simply must have an answer to, which is this: Who was actually running the country for the past four years? Whoever it was, it certainly wasn’t Joe Biden. These people are still out there. Some of them may be in the government right now. If not, they&#8217;re certainly planning to return to power soon. And before that happens, every single one of them must be identified, prosecuted, and imprisoned like the traitors to this country that they are.

There are many ways in which the House of Representatives is feeling the effects of the absence of former Congresswoman Cori Bush. You might remember that Cori Bush was the only member of Congress in the history of this country who <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/06/17/us-news/cori-bush-doubled-down-on-bizarre-faith-healing-claims-in-tv-interview-my-hand-just-began-to-move/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> to have performed a bona fide miracle while in office. Specifically, in a televised interview, Bush said that she once cured a woman&#8217;s cancer simply by placing her hands on the woman&#8217;s body. As she put it: &#8220;This [homeless] lady came to us, and she had these tumors, and she wanted us to like, feel them. &#8230; I laid hands on her and prayed, and then I felt that my hand was no longer touching a tumor. It shrank along with the others on her body. &#8230; And the lumps that were there were no longer there. She was so happy, and she went on about her day.&#8221;
It&#8217;s too bad that this homeless woman disappeared, because this kind of interaction seems like the thing that cancer researchers might have been interested in following up on. But in any event, Bush didn&#8217;t stop there, because as we all know, you need *two* miracles in order to qualify for sainthood. Normally, these miraculous events occur after the saint has died. But Bush doesn&#8217;t have time for that. Therefore, she claimed that she also once helped a toddler take her first steps in St. Louis, even though the child was gravely ill. “I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary . . . ‘Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ‘You will walk.’ And this girl took her first step,” Bush wrote.
Because Bush was voted out of office in the last election, unfortunately, we don&#8217;t hear stories like this anymore. Therefore, until Jesus himself returns, we can assume that countless hobos in St. Louis will continue to suffer needlessly from cancer and all kinds of other horrible afflictions. But despite that sad reality, it&#8217;s not all bad news. Consider the fact that, without Cori Bush&#8217;s voice to amplify them, a lot of fraudulent BLM narratives will die before they get started. We also won&#8217;t have to listen to her tributes to Michael Brown and George Floyd every year. So that&#8217;s something, at least. Yes, we&#8217;ve lost a miracle worker. But we&#8217;ve gained some peace and quiet.
Or at least, we thought we gained some peace and quiet. At the moment, there is a concerted effort underway among House Democrats to revive the &#8220;legacy&#8221; of Cori Bush, such as it is. But they&#8217;re not revising the whole &#8220;bid for sainthood&#8221; routine. Instead, they&#8217;re doubling down on Cori Bush&#8217;s true passion in life, which is whipping up a race war. And to that end, Democrats are revitalizing one of Bush&#8217;s dumbest ideas, which is her plan to enact trillions of dollars in reparations.
<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/race-politics/5302622-democrats-reintroduce-reparations-resolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quoting</a> from The Hill: &#8220;A coalition of Democratic lawmakers and advocates on Thursday reintroduced a resolution to offer reparations to descendants of enslaved Africans and people of African descent. Representative Summer Lee led the reintroduction of the Reparations Now resolution, which was first introduced in 2023 by former Representative Cori Bush. The resolution calls for the federal government to allocate trillions of dollars in reparations to Black Americans.&#8221;
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1598-the-matt-walsh-show?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
Keep in mind, the entire federal budget for the last fiscal year was around $7 trillion. So we&#8217;re talking about spending a very significant chunk of the federal budget on handouts to black people, essentially. And on top of these trillions of dollars in reparations, Cory Booker and Jasmine Crockett are planning to introduce the &#8220;Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Commission Act,&#8221; which would supposedly “acknowledge and memorialize the arrival of the first slave ship in the United States and the injustices suffered by people of color throughout history.”
Here are Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee to explain. And I promise these clips aren&#8217;t sped up in any way, at least as far as I know. They&#8217;re simply talking really, really fast for some reason. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001a Reparations NOW" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WLZmS9HbUDA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001b Reparations NOW" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i0nTF-zXgig?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Now, before we go any further with the specifics of this legislation, I have to provide something of a disclosure at this point. We&#8217;ve talked about the issue of reparations many times on this show, to be sure. But now I have a very personal stake in the issue. And that&#8217;s because recently, and somewhat unexpectedly &#8212; and I say this with nothing but modesty in my heart &#8212; I have become something of a pioneer when it comes to the issue of reparations in the United States. In fact, according to all available information, I am the only person in America who has actually paid reparations, along with the famed author Robin DiAngelo.
Now, you might point out that I was undercover doing a movie when I paid my reparations. And you might point out that I took my reparations back immediately after the cameras were off. And you might point out that my reparations were like $20. And all of that&#8217;s true. But it&#8217;s not the important thing to keep in mind here. The important thing is that I&#8217;m an expert in this issue, and therefore, I have no choice but to chime in and provide my analysis.
And with that in mind, the first thing that needs to be said is that, if we really want &#8220;reparations&#8221; for the descendants of slaves, then we&#8217;re going to spend a lot more than a few trillion dollars. That&#8217;s because every single person who&#8217;s alive right now on the planet, if you go back far enough, has ancestors who were slaves. Period, no exceptions. The Romans alone enslaved millions of people from all over the world. So did Egypt, Greece, China, the Persians, the Russians, the Mayans, the Aztecs, and Ottomans, and so on.
And that&#8217;s not even getting into indentured servitude. Take a look at what happened to Irish Catholics in the 17th century in places like Barbados, for example. Technically, many of these Irishmen became &#8220;indentured servants,&#8221; not slaves. But in many cases, that meant that they were treated even worse than slaves, since they weren&#8217;t expected to work for their entire lives. Roughly half of them died within four years, by some estimates. As the researcher Michael Mahoney <a href="https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/irish-indentured-labour-in-the-caribbean/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>: &#8220;John Scott, an English adventurer who travelled in the West Indies during the Commonwealth, saw Irish servants working in field gangs with slaves, ‘without stockings under the scorching sun’. The Irish, he wrote, were &#8216;derided by the negroes, and branded with the Epithet of ‘white slaves.&#8221; &#8230; Once in the Caribbean, many plantation owners considered servants and freemen from Ireland as a potentially subversive lot who had to be controlled and kept in a labouring status. Punishments for attempted escapes included branding the letters ‘FT’ (Fugitive Traitor) on the servant’s forehead. One assembly member in Barbados is quoted in 1667 as stating, ‘We have more than a good many Irish amongst us, therefore I am for the downright Scott, who I am certain will fight without a crucifix about his neck.'&#8221;
In other words, there&#8217;s obvious anti-Catholic bigotry at work here, and in many cases, these Irish servants were treated far worse than slaves as they worked alongside them. And this is just one of dozens more examples. Here&#8217;s another. Did you know that, in 1797, 20% of the U.S. federal budget &#8212; a total of one million dollars at the time &#8212; went to paying tribute to Muslim nations in North Africa, so that they&#8217;d stop enslaving white people? This was a big business for them; in total, they enslaved more than a million whites from both Europe and the United States. This was during the Barbary Wars. For context, today, we don&#8217;t spend anywhere near 20% of the U.S. budget on defense spending. But in 1797, we spent 20% of the budget on ransom payments to Algiers. And as we did so, the Africans made sure to mock Americans at every opportunity. The tribute was ultimately ferried to Constantinople by the frigate USS George Washington, and along the way, the Africans forced the American warship to fly an Ottoman flag. This was sadistic brutality at every level. They only stopped enslaving white people when they were forced to do so.
These are chapters from American history that you don&#8217;t hear much about. Certainly, smooth-brained race hustlers like Ayanna Pressley won&#8217;t mention any of this. That&#8217;s because, as always, their goal isn&#8217;t actually to have a serious discussion about reparations &#8212; to the extent it&#8217;s even possible to do so. They know that this resolution has no chance of passing in either chamber of Congress, much less being signed into law. They know that this is a purely performative piece of legislation that&#8217;s intended to stoke racial conflict, and enrage as many people as possible so that they&#8217;ll feel entitled and envious. And then they might finally start rioting, as Democrats desperately want them to do.
Of course, indirect, inexplicit reparations have already been paid &#8212; in the form of DEI policies, affirmative action, the welfare state, and every other policy put in place in the name of white guilt. Most of the federal government is a kind of make-work program for certain demographics, to funnel them taxpayer money without any accountability. And we see what good all of that has done for the black community. But explicit reparations &#8212; the kind where black Americans get money simply for being black Americans &#8212; will almost certainly never happen. From a political perspective, it&#8217;s not feasible. This is yet another failed idea from the Cori Bush playbook, one among many.
At the same time, it&#8217;s interesting to note that this legislation comes at the very moment that white South Africans are fleeing their homeland, seeking refuge in the United States. They&#8217;re being forcibly evicted from their own homes solely because of their skin color, as we&#8217;ve discussed several times this week. And you know what that means: There&#8217;s about to be a lot more room in Africa for any supposedly oppressed group in the United States, including congresswomen like Ayanna Pressley. So maybe there&#8217;s an opportunity here for a kind of &#8220;reparation through repatriation.&#8221; Maybe we can offer some of these Democrats a taxpayer-funded, all-expenses-paid trip to whatever lands their ancestors came from. Since we&#8217;re judging everyone by their ancestors, it seems more than appropriate. Plus, they&#8217;ll gain access to plenty of fertile farmland in South Africa, as Don Lemon often reminds us. The opportunity for untold riches, in a land totally devoid of white people, is right there for the taking.
Will Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee and all of these other Democrats seize that opportunity? Of course not. That&#8217;s because they know that, when given the opportunity, they can&#8217;t govern. They can&#8217;t improve anyone&#8217;s lives. They certainly can&#8217;t manage a farm. All they&#8217;re capable of doing is demonizing white people and looting the treasury. And without white people to demonize, there won&#8217;t be any money to loot. That&#8217;s why &#8220;reparations&#8221; is a losing issue for Democrats. It&#8217;s also why South Africa is about to collapse entirely. And it&#8217;s why, as more Americans wake up to the reality of what&#8217;s happening, politicians like Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee and Ilhan Omar will go the way of Cori Bush. They&#8217;ll be removed from Congress by the voters. That is the outcome these anti-white politicians are apparently clamoring for. And now that they&#8217;ve introduced this reparations bill once again, and made it clear they have no interest in representing all Americans regardless of race, we should give it to them.

There&#8217;s quite a mystery unfolding right now at the highest levels of one of the largest churches on the planet. And it&#8217;s a pretty confounding question: Where exactly is the archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop of the Church of England? No one has any idea. To be clear, this isn&#8217;t a missing persons case. The post has been vacant for more than four months. And yet, to this day, the position still hasn&#8217;t been filled. As of May 12th, 2025, there is still no archbishop of Canterbury. And at least on paper, this is something of a head-scratcher. Here you have a Protestant church with something like 26 million baptized members all over the world, and hundreds of thousands of active members, by some estimates. It&#8217;s known as the &#8220;mother church of the Anglican tradition.&#8221; And yet, as of right now, there&#8217;s no clarity whatsoever as to when they&#8217;ll pick a new archbishop to lead the church.
There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any urgency, either. Lawyers are <a href="https://anglican.ink/2025/05/08/process-to-elect-next-archbishop-of-canterbury-an-omnishambles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> getting involved for one reason or another. The latest estimate is that it&#8217;ll be several more weeks, at a minimum, until the Church of England decides who&#8217;s in charge. And it&#8217;s not as if this vacancy was a surprise. The previous archbishop didn&#8217;t die suddenly or anything like that. Instead, it was announced months in advance that the archbishop would resign, before he finally stepped down in January. But here we are. It&#8217;s now May, and the church of England still has no archbishop.
The contrast with the Catholic Church, especially after the election of Pope Leo the 14th, could not be any more clear. On the one hand, you have total dysfunction and chaos among the Anglicans. On the other, the Catholics had a new pope two days after the conclave started. When Pope Francis died, everyone heard about it. People flooded into Rome from all over the world. And when his successor was selected, there were celebrations all over the globe. Meanwhile, almost no one has even realized that there isn&#8217;t an archbishop of Canterbury anymore. In fact, if you ask a random person on the street about the archbishop of Canterbury, there&#8217;s a very good chance that no one will have any idea what you&#8217;re talking about.
One of the reasons for this distinction is that, for quite some time, the Anglicans have been effectively leaderless, even when they&#8217;ve had an archbishop. The monarchs in England stopped caring about religion, and their bishops don&#8217;t really have the authority to do anything. So in response, they became &#8220;progressive&#8221; in a desperate bid for relevance that obviously hasn&#8217;t panned out. The Anglicans tied their fortunes to the King&#8217;s power back in the days of Henry the 8th. But once that power waned, they had no answer whatsoever. We&#8217;re left now with a very trendy church &#8212; one that supports gay marriage and so-called LGBT clergy &#8212; that also has few core guiding principles, no real authority, and ultimately no archbishop. The Church of England became liberal to win over the liberals, but in the end, the liberals don&#8217;t care. And in the process, they&#8217;ve lost the conservatives, too. So now, no one even notices the fact that, for several months, there has been no archbishop of Canterbury.

Billions of people noticed the lack of a pope, though, because the pope actually stands for something. In particular, he&#8217;s the successor of Saint Peter and the vicar of Christ, whose responsibility includes teaching and interpreting Catholic doctrine. And in the Catholic church, unlike the Church of England, doctrine does not change on a moment&#8217;s notice. It isn&#8217;t revised because trans activists or feminists or corporate overlords start screeching at maximum volume. The doctrine remains consistent because it&#8217;s not a response to political demands. It&#8217;s not beholden to polls or media pressure. This is one of the reasons why people care about the identity of the pope. It&#8217;s why they notice when the papacy becomes vacant. When you teach the word of God instead of reading the latest talking points from the Human Rights Campaign, people pay a lot more attention.
Or at least, most people pay attention. Not everyone seems to understand the implications of the selection of Pope Leo, or the point of the papacy in general. And in particular, at the moment, there appears to be a genuine panic among the media and LGBT activists about the very unsettling and incomprehensible prospect that the new pope might actually be Catholic, if you can imagine that. They&#8217;re &#8220;unearthing&#8221; some of the pope&#8217;s previous comments on same-sex relationships and abortion, for example. And they can&#8217;t believe what they&#8217;re seeing.
Here&#8217;s the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/09/pope-leo-xiv-lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guardian&#8217;s reporting</a> on the dismay that&#8217;s now supposedly rampant among Catholics: &#8220;After years of sympathetic and inclusive comments from Pope Francis, LGBTQ+ Catholics expressed concern on Thursday about hostile remarks made more than a decade ago by Father Robert Prevost, the new Pope Leo the 14th, in which he condemned what he called the &#8216;homosexual lifestyle&#8217; and &#8216;the redefinition of marriage&#8217; as &#8216;at odds with the Gospel.&#8217; In a 2012 address to the world synod of bishops, the man who now leads the church said that &#8216;Western mass media is extraordinarily effective in fostering within the general public enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel – for example abortion, homosexual lifestyle, euthanasia.'&#8221;
Over at &#8220;The View,&#8221; self-described &#8220;devout Catholic&#8221; Sunny Hostin offered her expert analysis of these comments. She begins by explaining that she thinks papal conclaves are &#8220;exciting&#8221; because of the whole white smoke/black smoke thing. And then she articulates her greatest fear about the new pope. Watch:

As a general rule, if you&#8217;re a Catholic in public life &#8212; especially one who delivers opinions and analysis every day &#8212; nobody should be surprised to learn that you are a Catholic. Your Catholicism should be evident in your worldview, politics, ideology, et cetera. But you would never know that people like Sunny Hostin are &#8220;Catholic&#8221; based on what they say and do every day. Therefore, she has to declare that, contrary to all outward appearances, she is indeed a &#8220;devout Catholic.&#8221; Even though she rejects essentially all of the fundamental moral teachings of the Catholic church &#8212; two years ago, she was <a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/1633500417698181121" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanding</a> female priests &#8212; that&#8217;s not important. The important thing is that Sunny Hostin likes looking for the white smoke, and gets really excited during the conclaves. And based on her experience getting excited during conclaves, Sunny Hostin wants you to know that she&#8217;s very concerned about this new pope&#8217;s previous comments on gay marriage.
That&#8217;s when we heard from Ana Navarro, who describes herself as a &#8220;sinful Catholic&#8221; &#8212; as opposed to all the other Catholics apparently. And for her part, Navarro tried to calm Sunny Hostin down by explaining that the pope&#8217;s comments were from all the way back in 2012. And that&#8217;s plenty of time for fundamental church teachings to change, she says. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Self-described &quot;sinful&quot; Catholic Ana Navarro points out that what Hostin was quoting was from 2012, and she hopes Leo has changed his mind about Catholic doctrine: &quot;Maybe, you know, with the weight of the papacy and the idea that he just said when he went out on the balcony that… <a href="https://t.co/8hbcaAVYwS">pic.twitter.com/8hbcaAVYwS</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
This is one of the better ways of illustrating why no one cares about the missing archbishop of Canterbury. In the Church of England, what Ana Navarro just said is totally plausible. Anglicans could very well change their fundamental positions in a matter of years.
But in the Catholic church, it&#8217;s a very different story. Of course this pope isn&#8217;t going to abolish 2,000 years of moral teaching for the sake of &#8220;accepting&#8221; LGBT lifestyles and validating LGBT &#8220;marriages.&#8221; And Pope Francis, for all the talk of his liberalism and his softer &#8220;tone&#8221; on these issues, didn&#8217;t do that either. Ana Navarro seems to think he did, but she&#8217;s wrong. Francis didn&#8217;t change church doctrine on gay marriage in any way. The church teaches, and has always taught, that the homosexual lifestyle is disordered and mortally sinful. Marriage can only occur between one man and one woman. Gay marriage is a contradiction in terms. There can&#8217;t be a gay marriage for the same reason that there can&#8217;t be a square circle. This is church teaching, whether the &#8220;devout Catholics&#8221; in the media like it or not.
At the moment, no one in the corporate press seems to realize that. Neither do many LGBT activists or academics, including people who describe themselves as Catholics. NBC News, for example, just ran this <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/pope-leo-xiv-lgbtq-catholics-francis-legacy-acceptance-rcna205690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quote</a> from someone named Jason Steidl Jack, who identifies as a &#8220;gay Catholic and an assistant teaching professor of religious studies at St. Joseph’s University, New York.&#8221; Here&#8217;s what he had to say: “The church’s teaching, even under Pope Francis, remains incredibly homophobic, and the church goes on inventing new ways of being transphobic as it really avoids learning about trans people and their experiences.&#8221;
Again, this is a professor of religious studies at a supposedly Catholic university. And he&#8217;s openly rejecting some of the most fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church. In fact, he&#8217;s not just rejecting these teachings. He&#8217;s calling them hateful and ignorant. Of course, you can have that perspective. It&#8217;s a free country. This isn&#8217;t Canada or North Korea. You can mock whatever you want to mock, as long as Democrats don&#8217;t control the Justice Department. But I&#8217;ll make this as clear as I possibly can: If you publicly denounce fundamental tenets of the Catholic faith, then you&#8217;re not a Catholic. If you represent yourself as Catholic, for the purposes of speaking to NBC News or teaching a class at a Catholic university, even as you deny the teachings of Christ, then you are a fraud.
What we&#8217;re seeing with this panic over Pope Leo is precisely the reason why progressives can never actually be devout Catholics or devout members of any other ancient faith, for that matter. They can&#8217;t even be devout, patriotic Americans. They want to corrupt and destroy every institution that has existed for more than about 15 minutes. They deny timeless moral truths in principle. They despise tradition. They reject the wisdom of our ancestors. They believe that basically everyone who lived on Earth (and certainly every Catholic leader and theologian) has been wrong about essentially everything. They think that they alone hold the truths of the universe that nobody before them could see. If they are devoted disciples of any church, it is the Church of the Self. There is plenty of room for people like this in the Church of England, where nothing means anything, to the point that they don&#8217;t care if the archbishop disappears for half a year. But there cannot be room for people like this in the Catholic Church. For all his mistakes, the previous pope understood that. And based on these newly &#8220;unearthed&#8221; comments from Pope Leo &#8212; and the resulting howls from Left-wing activists &#8212; Catholics can be assured at the moment that the new pope understands it, too.

Today is Mother’s Day. Around the world, children shower their mothers with flowers, cards, and celebrate cherished moments. But for me — and for the other mothers of the 59 hostages still held in Gaza — this day marks 582 days of a living nightmare that began on October 7.
I am the mother of Yonatan Samerano, a hostage. For us, time froze on October 7. For 582 days, every moment has been a blur of uncertainty, fear, and heartbreak. Every night, as parents tuck their children into bed, I lie awake, silently screaming into my pillow so I don’t wake anyone else. The weight on my chest never lifts.
Yonatan is a regular at the Nova music festival. He is vibrant, creative, full of life — &#8220;one big party,&#8221; as everyone who knows him would say. He fills every room with joy and helps countless artists in Tel Aviv&#8217;s music scene find their voice. His energy is magnetic, his spirit generous. He believes in people, in art, in freedom.
That morning at 6:29 a.m., when the rockets and sirens began, he and his friends jumped into their car to hurry home to safety. They were among the first to leave the festival grounds. A police officer directed them toward shelter in Kibbutz Be&#8217;eri, unaware they were driving straight into danger. Terrorists opened fire on their car and looters later dragged them from their vehicle.
A white Jeep then pulled up and two terrorists emerged from the vehicle. They picked up my wounded son from the pavement and placed him in the back of the Jeep, leaving his friends lifeless on the sidewalk.
The horror didn&#8217;t end with his capture. We were later forced to watch video footage of his capture. The video revealed that the man driving the Jeep was a social worker from UNRWA — an organization meant to provide humanitarian aid. He dragged my wounded son across the ground and threw him into a UN vehicle.
That’s how Yonatan was kidnapped and taken into Gaza.
I write this not just as a grieving mother, but as a witness to this unconscionable act. While others have received definitive news about their loved ones, we live in this cruel limbo — my son, shot and taken, is still in Gaza.
Every mother understands the fierceness of maternal love — but no mother should understand this pain. I wouldn’t wish even a single day of this uncertainty on any mother, anywhere. Each minute feels like an eternity.
Some mothers count the minutes until they’ll see their child again. I count minutes wondering if I’ll receive even the faintest sign that my son is still alive. Where is he? How are they treating him? Have they abandoned him? What has become of him? What remains of the beautiful soul I raised?
And yet the day passes, night falls again, and the cycle repeats — 582 days without a smile, without laughter, without any sense of life.

The hostage release <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hamas-releases-six-hostages-as-first-phase-of-ceasefire-winds-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deal</a> in February of this year brought miraculous reunions for some families. I&#8217;ve watched mothers embrace their children after months of captivity, their faces transformed by joy. I replay those images in my mind, visualizing that moment with Yonatan to keep myself going.
Some parents of the 59 hostages still held by Hamas have succumbed to despair, seeing only darkness. I remind myself that hope is my greatest strength. It allows me to see possibilities where others cannot. Perhaps I&#8217;m not being realistic, but this hope sustains me and gives me the courage to face each day amid this chaos.
Hope is what propels me forward each morning. Yonatan gives me strength each day. He is my son, the most precious thing in my world, and I cannot surrender. I must rise, act, fight, and struggle — constantly thinking of new ideas that might help bring him home.
The last time I spoke with my son was the evening before October 7, when I dropped him off to meet his friends for the festival. That morning, when the first siren sounded, I tried desperately to reach him, but he didn&#8217;t answer.
Since then, we&#8217;ve experienced immense grief and longing. No words can express our feelings given the terrible uncertainty about our son&#8217;s condition. Our hearts break anew each day.
President Trump has made remarkable progress in bringing many hostages home. I urge him: Don&#8217;t stop — continue to do whatever is necessary to bring every last one home. The hostages have little time left to spare.
To mothers celebrating today with your children — treasure every moment. Hold them closer. Memorize the sound of their laughter. These are luxuries I dream of experiencing again.
And to my fellow mothers of hostages — I stand with you in our impossible vigil. We will continue to fight, to hope, to believe that our children will return.
Mother&#8217;s Day will truly arrive when we can hold our children again. Until then, we remain mothers in waiting, our hearts simultaneously broken, yet full of an unbreakable hope.
I carry Yonatan with me every moment — his endless magic, his beautiful spirit, his love of life. And I carry the hope that one day soon, all 59 hostages will return to their families&#8217; arms. That would be the greatest Mother&#8217;s Day gift of all.

President Trump is apparently pushing for a higher tax rate. That’s a nonstarter.
The tax regime that President Trump put into place in his first term, his tax cuts, were a boon to the economy. They actually disproportionately benefited people who were middle and lower class. Revising the tax regime to pay for more loopholes and tax breaks in particular areas by increasing taxes on the highest income earners will sink investment capital. That&#8217;s what it does.
As somebody who has been in most tax brackets at one point in my life, I can tell you I will invest less if I have less money to invest. That&#8217;s true for everyone who is a high net earner. Increasing the income tax on the top income tax bracket in order to pay for more useless government spending — because nobody has the actual guts to say in American politics that we spend too much on our social welfare programs, which we do, particularly our means tested social welfare programs — will break the American economy.
It&#8217;s like shifting deckchairs on the Titanic.
Increasing the marginal tax rate at the top by 2% or something similar is not going to save anything. If the Republican Party is now the tax-raising party and the tariff party, we will have to see how that works out for them at the polls.
I do not think it is going to work out particularly well.

According to some reports, President Trump is privately urging speaker Mike Johnson to raise the top tax rate and close the so-called “carried interest loophole.”
You hear about the “carried interest loophole” all the time. Very often the media will use a term and call it a loophole when it&#8217;s not a loophole at all. Here’s an example: They will refer to a “gun show loophole,” claiming that if you&#8217;re a federally licensed firearms dealer, you can just go to a gun show and sell a gun randomly, which is not true. They say the “gun show loophole” means a private person who sells a gun to his friend doesn&#8217;t have to necessarily go through all of the federal background check, which just means that if you are a federally licensed firearms dealer and you&#8217;re a private individual, that these rules don&#8217;t apply to you in the same way.
So what is the “carried interest loophole”? Is it a loophole at all? What is carried interest? “Carried interest” works like this: Fund managers typically receive two forms of compensation. If you work at hedge fund or in private equity or venture capital, you have two forms of being paid.
One is a management fee, which is just income. You simply get paid a flat fee to handle people&#8217;s portfolios.
Then there&#8217;s the so-called “carried interest,” which is a share of the fund&#8217;s profits. The fund makes a profit; you get a share of the profit. But in order for it to qualify for capital gains tax as opposed to income tax, the underlying investments have to be held for more than three years.
Management fees are taxed at the regular income rate; carried interest is taxed as the long-term capital gain at a maximum rate of 20% if the underlying investments are held for more than three years.
So here is the question. If you have a share of the profits, isn&#8217;t that more like owning a stock? That&#8217;s the reason why it&#8217;s not treated as a form of typical income. It&#8217;s more like selling a stock because you actually are getting a share of stock that was profitable and then it was sold. Thus it&#8217;s more like a capital gain than it is like income.
Now you can make an argument that capital gains should be taxed the same as income. But stop pretending that the “carried interest loophole” is a form of normal income that&#8217;s getting carved out for hedge fund managers. That&#8217;s not what it is.
This populist leftist economic policy for heavy trade restrictionism for the sake of trade restrictionism as a subsidy to particular areas of the American economy added to higher tax rates, and I&#8217;m wondering what the difference is between that economic policy per se and leftist Democrat senator Sherrod Brown&#8217;s economic policy when he was senator from Ohio.
That is not the economic policy that President Trump enacted in his first term that was so wildly successful in increasing the earnings of everybody from the bottom part of the spectrum to the top part of the spectrum.
This would be a mistake.

I have spent a lot of time covering psychiatric drugs like SSRIs. The problem with these drugs is that they&#8217;re incredibly potent, potentially dangerous, and they effect the mind in ways that the doctors prescribing them don&#8217;t fully understand. And all of these problems are compounded by the fact that they are increasingly easy to obtain. In fact, as the problems with psychiatric medications become more evident, the barriers to access them only become lower. It seems that things should be working the opposite way. But that&#8217;s how it goes now. If you want to get a highly potent, dangerous, mind altering drug, you can. In fact, you probably don&#8217;t even have to leave your house.
This trend is becoming more and more common with an ever increasing array of drugs. They are very easy to get, there is very little oversight, and you don&#8217;t have to leave your house to obtain them. This is a major problem that will require all kinds of legislation to fix. But there are some steps we can, and must, take immediately to address the problem of fraudulent, life-altering drugs being handed out in large quantities to young people, basically on demand. One of those steps is to defund some of the largest distributors of these life-altering drugs, which is something that should&#8217;ve happened a long time ago.
If we can’t ban these people from operating outright, then at the very least, we should stop giving them money and tax breaks. What&#8217;s happening is a genuine crisis — and it&#8217;s not limited to SSRIs. It extends to a whole host of other drugs as well. And a new investigation by Live Action, the pro-life nonprofit, has just brought renewed urgency to this crisis, and how completely out-of-control the problem really is.
Here is part of an undercover investigation by Live Action, where they contacted various Planned Parenthood locations posing as a 16-year-old girl. And in these conversations, Live Action&#8217;s 16-year-old girl requests &#8220;gender-affirming care,&#8221; including cross-sex hormones. And Planned Parenthood responds by saying this is completely fine. They say they&#8217;ll do it virtually, over Zoom or something like that. And then they suggest that, if the girl goes to a clinic in-person, she doesn&#8217;t need to be accompanied by her mother in the examination room. Watch:

To put things in context, Planned Parenthood is the leading abortion mill in the country. They commit roughly 40% of the abortion in this country, all by themselves. And they receive something like $700 million from taxpayers every year.

So what exactly is that money buying, aside from abortions and irreversible drugs for children? According to Live Action, citing various investigations, it&#8217;s allowing Planned Parenthood to traffic in human body parts, commit all kinds of health code and privacy violations, and engage in anti-white racism at all levels of its operation. The entire report is available online if you want to view it, and you should. I will simply highlight this one section in particular:
<blockquote>At least 40,000 patients went to Planned Parenthood for &#8216;gender affirming care&#8217; in 2023 alone, a number that has risen tenfold since 2017. The largest proportion, about 40 percent, were 18-to-22-year-olds.</blockquote>
According to Live Action, 45 out of Planned Parenthood&#8217;s 49 affiliated facilities provide this so-called &#8220;care,&#8221; and Planned Parenthood is now the second-largest provider of so-called &#8220;gender-affirming hormones&#8221; in the United States.
The report continues:
<blockquote>Planned Parenthood targets minors for gender-affirming care by disseminating pro-transgender ideology online and in schools. It has also stated that it would like to expand its gender-affirming care to a greater number of minors.</blockquote>
The report cites a video from Planned Parenthood, in which the organization claims that puberty blockers are, &#8220;like a stop sign&#8221; that pauses puberty without any potential side-effects. Planned Parenthood also provides sex education materials to elementary schools, according to this report, including, &#8220;information about puberty blockers and graphics of pubic hair art.&#8221;
In some cases, Live Action notes that Planned Parenthood was caught referring a 14-year-old undercover actor for &#8220;gender-affirming&#8221; treatments at another organization, so that he could hide his so-called &#8220;transition&#8221; from his parents. It goes on and on. Every page of this report is extremely difficult to read, and it&#8217;s all very damning. Even if you put all of the baby murder to the side — which you can&#8217;t, because that&#8217;s still obviously the most evil thing this organization does — but even if you did somehow forget about that, Planned Parenthood still remains one of the most evil organizations in the country. Their explicit goal is to permanently alter the lives of young people with surgeries and hormones, long before they&#8217;re able to consent to anything like this. And as the report outlines, half the time, they don&#8217;t even follow their own protocols, as limited as they are.
What&#8217;s left unanswered, in all of this, is why Planned Parenthood still receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding. Republicans control Congress and the White House. So why the hell are we still sending so much money to these butchers? To be clear, as Live Action&#8217;s report outlines, you probably don&#8217;t even need legislation to stop this funding. There are dozens of violations listed in this report, which documents Planned Parenthood&#8217;s issues with patient privacy, fraud, trafficking of fetal remains, and so on. All of these problems, by themselves, are grounds for an executive order shutting down the funding immediately. But that hasn&#8217;t happened yet. And Congress hasn&#8217;t done anything either. Nor have they done anything about the mass prescription of SSRIs.
To be clear, Planned Parenthood should be forcible shut down, by law. The whole organization should be banned and all of its executives and employees at every level of the company should be put on trial for crimes against humanity. There should be a Nuremberg for Planned Parenthood executives. But that is not likely to happen any time soon. There are a lot of things that should happen but won&#8217;t, and this is number one on that list. So defunding them is the bare minimum. It’s not even close to the full extent of what should be done to shut down these butchers and child abusers and bring them to justice. It&#8217;s just the most meager first step. It&#8217;s the step where we at least stop forcing Americans to fund these psychopaths. And yet we haven’t even done that. Republicans control the federal government and yet somehow we are still sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood.
Why? What is the reason? What is the negative consequence of defunding them? The Left will be mad? The media will complain? The activists will shriek and sing protests songs in the street? That last thing is pretty painful, I admit. But is in any of that enough to override the great moral necessity of defunding an organization that kills and castrates children? Obviously not. Especially because the protesters will be shrieking anyway. The media will complain regardless. The Left will stay mad no matter what. They’re going to cry. We might as well give them something real to cry about.
That&#8217;s not to say the Republicans in Congress haven&#8217;t done anything at all. They&#8217;re technically showing up to work even though it&#8217;s not exactly ground-breaking stuff. But it&#8217;s well past time for elected Republican representatives, along with the White House, to take decisive action on the ghouls and butchers who call themselves healthcare providers. If we can defund NPR — and the White House says we can — then we can defund these abortionists too. And we can stop corporations from distributing psychoactive drugs like they&#8217;re candy, while we&#8217;re at it. This is what we voted for.
