The White House Pride Event Demonstrates an Opportunity for Conservatives
The White House gay pride celebration on June 10th of this year was a sickening display of immorality and Presidential hyperbole. It deserves all the shame and rebuke it has received, and it also shows how out of touch the White House is with the general public. That disconnect presents an opportunity for conservative Americans to take their case to the general public and persuade them our side in the upcoming election.

Stacking Charges on Top of Charges Stretches Justice to the Breaking Point
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump on April 4th on 34 separate counts of falsifying business records in relation to the settlement between Trump & porn star Stormy Daniels. Each count references a business record (ledger entry, check, etc.) that was involved, and each count carries a maximum sentence of four years jail time. In all, if found guilty on all counts, Trump could face 136 years in prison for what is essentially him trying to either a) hide a settlement with someone who extorted him, or b) hide an affair he had with Daniels.

The Incestuous Menage: Government, Corporate America & LGBQT
Imagine for a moment that you are the CEO of Budweiser, the 120th largest company in the world. You’ve just shed $27 BILLION dollars in market value after promoting transgenderism. What would you do? Would you a) immediately put a halt to all LGBQT initiaves to stave off collapse, or would you b) double down and sponsor a “family friendly” gay pride event, including a drag queen story time for the kiddos? In a sane world, the answer is obvious, but we do not live in a sane world. There is an undeniably corrupt alliance forming that looks to do to corporate America what the left did to healthcare, education and the government sectory — a complete takeover.

Tucker’s Back! What It Means For The Larger Conservative Movement
He’s baaaack, baby, and better than ever! Tucker Carlson gave his first ever Twitter broadcast aptly named “Tucker on Twitter,” and boy what a doozy. Forget what he said, it was great, and you can watch it down below. As of the writing of this article, the episode had nearly 51 million views, with nearly half a million likes. The comment threads are blowing up. To put this in perspective, Fox News had 2.1 million viewers in prime time in March, with MSNBC at 1.14 million and CNN at less than 500,000.

Portland’s Homeless Crisis Is Worsening
The Gadsden Rev is based just outside of Portland, Oregon — about 20 miles away, in fact. Oregonians know already to stay out of downtown, but there’s substantial evidence that Portland’s burgeoning homelessness industry is expanding outward. I stopped a day ago for a burger at a local Burger King, and as I pulled into the drive thru, a group of about five homeless were setting up a tent at the entrance to the drive thru lane. I asked the owner if he was aware, and he held up his hand, heavily bandaged, and said “Yes, I have to fight them every night to get them to leave, and they just come back the next day.”

OFF TARGET: $15 Billion In Losses Later, Target Still Thinks It Should Pander to LGBQT Groups
Let’s not bury the lede. After losing $15 billion in value over the last few weeks, Target still thinks the right call is to pander to leftist groups who favor LGBQT advocacy. The absolute lunacy to think that a fraction of the US population is accounting for the slide is the ultimate in hubris, and is only going to make things worse for the big box chain.

Battle of the Leather Jackets – Left vs Right Edition
What is it with leftists – leftist women in particular – and they’re need to insult and denigrate Republican women? Is their compulsion to obsess and mock conservative fashion a knee-jerk response to their own self loathing, or is there something else going on? The left — and its women in particular — can’t abide the thought that conservative women might actually choose to live the lives they have. They can’t stand the fact that they look happy and fulfilled, and so they attack in the cheapest fashion possible (pun intended).

Trump’s New Nickname For DeSantis Glosses Over Reality
I’d like to think that in the GOP, ads are fair and deal in truth. I said I’d like to think that, but even in the GOP the means justify the ends, and ads are allowed to shade or distort the truth in order to make a point. Case in point is the pro-Trump PAC “Maga, Inc.”, branding DeSantis as “Ron DeSalesTax” and asserting that he wanted to — and here’s the key word — add a 23% federal sales tax on the backs of every American. That simply isn’t true.

Idaho’s Kellogg High Bans Travis Lohr From Graduation For Speaking the Truth
This last Thursday, Kellogg High School principal Dan Davidian called Travis Lohr, a senior at Kellogg High to inform him that he would not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies. His crime? He participated in a school-approved event where graduating seniors are asked to give advice to the rest of the student body, and in Lohr’s remarks, he spoke a true statement. “Guys are guys, and girls are girls. There is no in between.”

Lincoln Had It Right – Anchored Language Matters
On pressing the policy of emancipation upon the President we received this reply “You remember the slave who asked his master, ‘If I should call a sheep’s tail a leg, how many legs would it have?’ ‘Five.’ ‘No, only four; for my calling the tail a leg would not make it so.’ “Now, gentlemen, if I say to the slaves, ‘you are free,’ they will be no more free than at present.”
