Stitt uses his time at the Pray Vote Stand podium to double down on his anti-transgender, anti-public health, pro-oil, pro-parental rights, pro-school privatization, anti-CRT platform. While the audience loves him, Stitt is toeing a party line and Perkins is right there next to him, smiling. The panel on alternative media sources is a refreshing surpr…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…rimmed glasses who managed to become Speaker of the House—something Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan and Tom Emmer all failed to do? And what does he have that the other three didn’t?

He was also widely unknown even in Washington political circles until recently (when asked about Johnson, Republican Senator Susan Collins said s…

UPDATED: The Coup That Never Ends: ‘Whitemanism’ and the Perils of a Flimsy Liberalism

By Peter Laarman

…rporations have managed to rebuke, however mildly. The increasingly hysterical attacks on critical race theory likewise flow from the same source. That source is what I and others have taken to calling whitemanism. Whitemanism is a compressed way of referring to the never-ending drive to preserve white male Christian supremacy. Whitemanism isn’t some twee invention of woke academics; it’s a very real thing, and it’s very far from surrendering its…
