Davie, 58, resigned alongside several top BBC officials over accusations that a BBC Panorama documentary misled viewers with an edited speech by president Donald Trump. According to a leaked internal memo, ex-journalist Michael Prescott, while acting as advisor to the BBC's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Board, suggested the edited speech made it seem as though the US president had explicitly encouraged the deadly US capitol insurrection on 6 January 2021.

Recently, New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat moderated a debate on the Interesting Times podcast between Helen Andrews and Leah Libresco Sargeant, two conservative critics of modern feminism. The podcast received major blowback, starting with (but not ending with) the fact that the original headline of the conversation was "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" Quickly, after the predictable backlash hit, the headline was changed to "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?"

Ben Shapiro, the more they talk about Nick Fuentes, the more they raise his profile. Nick Fuentes, if I'm his agent, I would say, Nick, phenomenal. Your number one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro,' he said. Send them a $10 GoFundMe and congratulate him saying thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am.'

A Senate war powers resolution blocking future military activities in Venezuela without congressional approval failed by a vote of 51-49 Thursday evening. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AL) joined Democrats in voting for the resolution, which was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the resolution would be unconstitutional because it "takes away the ability to decide military matters [from the president] and it resides with us."

After years of drifting ideology giving way to vibes, personality eclipsing principle a question has finally forced itself into view: Who gets to decide what it means to be right-wing? That question snapped into focus when Tucker Carlson chose to host Nick Fuentes, an openly antisemitic, white-supremacist troll. Fuentes is not complicated. He is clear. He is poison. Carlson's interview wasn't journalism; it was a declaration of borderlessness. If platforming is inherently neutral, then even the most explicit hatemongers can be folded into the tent.

Young conservatives and MAGA luminaries like Steve Bannon have grown sharply critical of Washington's unbalanced and costly relationship with the Jewish state. In reaction, Israel and its American supporters have sought to shore up the "special relationship" by ostracizing Israel-critical voices. Their latest target: Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, who recently expressed support for Tucker Carlson, MAGA's most prominent critic of Israel.

"We have made history, we have made progress,"

Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation | YouTube screenshot Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts - the lead architect of Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump's second presidency - admitted to his organization on Wednesday that he made a mistake in calling neo-Nazi commentator Nick Fuentes a "friend" of Republicans and criticizing those who opposed Fuentes' recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson as a "venomous coalition."

The one thing I really couldn't get purchase on from your essay is I never got a sense of whether there were female virtues at all from your piece. If you want to know what I like about women. No, that's not my question. You can ask me. In fact, I invite you to commission from me an entire essay on the subject. What I like about women. My freelance rates are very reasonable. What do you like about women, Helen?

On October 30, Newsmax - the TV network for people who think Fox News is too liberal, basically - aired an AI-generated video purportedly showing a woman raging at a supermarket cashier, threatening to walk out with her haul of groceries without paying because "they cut her food stamps." The video is fake. And it's the same one that the actual Fox presented as genuine in an article it ran to drum up outrage over the perceived abuses of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,

On one side: a rowdy and ascendant coalition of ultra-nationalists, populists, and Gen-Zers who are clamoring for an end to US support of Israel. On the other: the neoconservative, Zionist old guard who are increasingly marginalized and on the defense. As the clash rattles the MAGA coalition at its highest levels, one man stands at the center, enjoying the mayhem: Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer whose moment has finally arrived.

Last week, MAGA had a total anti-Indian meltdown on social media, revealing a deep, ugly racism toward South Asians. It comes amid the first real rebellion about rampant and increasingly open antisemitism within the MAGAverse, creating a massive rift between traditional conservatives and a younger, rabidly anti-Jewish contingent called groypers whose leader, Nick Fuentes, recently posted that he is "team Hitler."

On Tuesday, District Judge Sam Goozee found Robinson not guilty of failing to comply with the counter-terrorism powers during the incident in Folkestone on 28 July last year. Mr Goozee said: I cannot put out of my mind that it was actually what you stood for and your political beliefs that acted for the principle reason for this stop. He also said that Pc Mitchell Thorogood's decision to stop Robinson was based on a protected characteristic, adding: I cannot convict you.

Surveillance powers granted to the deep state allow the FBI and others to spy on Americans as a method of control. Those worried about a slip into authoritarianism must look past whomever is in the White House at any one time and see what new technology and old laws has allowed us to become. The latest example comes from an FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA),

Hello, I'm Rayne, and I'm a lapsed Catholic. I fell away from the Church over a period of time, beginning roughly with the Reagan years and the uptick in Christian fundamentalism's influence on politics. It didn't happen all at once but I finally had enough when the Church became little more than a crypto-fascist mouthpiece for right-wing ideology, focusing almost exclusively on anti-abortion efforts instead of what I was taught were Christ's teachings.

This imbalance has led young men to coin the term 'hoeflation,' the grind of chasing women they might barely fancy, but will date just to escape loneliness.

"Well, let me give advice to any young man that's out there. I'm married now, I have children. But I wasn't married that long ago, I was single, I was on the market," Miller said, per The Independent . "If you are a young man - it's very important in election season - who's looking to impress the ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive ... The best thing you can do is wear your Trump support on your sleeve."

If the sticker reads "Product of the United States" that may not mean exactly what you think it does. That is partially why a bipartisan group of Congressmen led by the Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman and the California Democrat Ro Khanna reintroduced the Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act on October 24, which would reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef products. The bill would also raise fines for those that falsely label their beef as made in the USA, including multinational packers.

When I was a 20-year-old undergraduate student at Cambridge University, I was plastered all over the national press for making a tweet about white people. It has not turned out to be a big deal for my life or career, but at the time it felt monumental: racist hate mail was sent to my college for months; the Conservative MP Bob Blackman called for my prosecution; and tabloid journalists turned up at my home and harassed my mother

For nearly two decades, I have been collecting the physical evidence of America's soul. The documents, the letters, the artifacts that tell the true story of who we are, announced Beck in a video, boasting that his hoard of well over a million documents and items had become the third-largest private collection of founding documents in the world, surpassed only by the Library of Congress and the National Archives.

I do not like the guy at all. The first thing for me was he didn't release the Epstein files. They're even acting like they didn't exist. And, of course, they're sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he's blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef. Hey, I'm not biased, man. He talked a good game, he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.

One question that has yet to be answered is the one many people suspect an unsettling answer to: Was Epstein working for the Israeli government?"[E]very single person in Washington, D.C." thinks that Epstein was "running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government," Tucker Carlson told a Turning Point USA conference in July 2025. "Now, no one is allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that's naughty."

Graham Platner once appeared as the answer to Democrats' electoral woes. The Maine Senate candidate boasted a biography and persona that oozed blue collar machismo, something clearly lacking in the modern Democratic Party. He was a veteran with multiple combat tours. He currently works as an oysterman, giving his assertive populism an authenticity Democrats long for. This was a man who could supposedly take on MAGA on its own terms by arguing that left-wing populism, not Trumpism, was the real solution to the heartland's troubles.

The Federal Reserve board met and decided Wednesday that the Fed will cut interest rates by a quarter point. The move sets its benchmark lending rate to between 3.75 percent and 4 percent, the lowest level since 2022. In remarks following the Fed's meeting, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that it is unclear whether the Fed will further lower interest rates in December, citing differing views among the Fed's board of directors. "There were strongly differing views about how to proceed in December," said Powell.

American military forces carried out three airstrikes Monday that destroyed four vessels in the eastern Pacific alleged to be transporting drugs bound for the U.S., Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced. The strikes, which killed 14 and left one survivor, are the latest in a dramatic ramp-up of lethal American attacks on drug trafficking vessels in the waters of the western hemisphere.

One of the main takeaways from President Donald Trump's election victory last year was the inroads he made with Hispanics and African-Americans, two large minority demographics traditionally associated with the Democrats. But the increase in support for Trump among Muslim voters, though less decisive electorally, was arguably more dramatic and should prompt reflection on the changing character of American politics.

Allegations of espionage against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) have been raised by the interior minister of the state of Thuringia. In an interview with Handelsblatt, Social Democrat (SPD) Georg Maier expressed concern that the AfD is abusing its parliamentary powers to gather information about Germany's transport infrastructure, water supply, digital infrastructure and energy supply. "With its requests, one gets the impression that the AfD is working through a list of tasks assigned by the Kremlin," Maier told the newspaper this week.
