Candace Owens does not have a cult, she has supporters. If Candace completely flipped the script and started saying she believed that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk, her supporters would not follow. Because its not about Candace, it’s about what she’s doing and saying. Unlike how Donald Trump campaigned on no new wars, and then almost immediately started a new war in the Middle East. But yet his loyalists continue to back him. That’s a cult. Because no matter how much Trump lies to you, you continue to give your undying loyalty to him.

Trump declared victory again today while simultaneously saying the war will continue. Here are some “victory” highlights since the beginning of the war (2/28/2026): March 7: Said the U.S. was “winning the war by a lot” and posted that America had “already won.” March 11: “We’ve won… In the first hour, it was over.” March 20: “Oh, I think we won.” March 24: “We’ve won this. This war has been won.” March 26: Said Iran had been “decisively defeated.” April 6: “We are the winner. We won.” April 7: Declared a “total and complete victory. 100 percent.” April 9–11: Repeatedly described Iran as militarily defeated and said, “regardless what happens, we win. We totally defeated that country.” April 25: “We’ve won everything.” April 30/May 1: “We’ve already won, but I want to win by a bigger margin.” June 4: Said “we have won the war in Iran,” later said the U.S. would soon “declare total victory.” June 11: Said “we ended the war with Iran today.” Today, August 26: He told Al Jazeera that the U.S. is “achieving a very big victory” while simultaneously saying the war will continue “for as long as necessary.”

@birdlandminute I'd keep him either as part of a six-man rotation (back down to five if Bassitt pitches poorly) or as a long reliever. I'm an advocate of long relief. Relying on a BP of one-inning guys is a bad formula, IMO.

@KenWeinmanSport Note also their relief pitcher went three innings. A team can't succeed with a BP comprised of practically all one-inning guys.

Justice Thomas recounts a funny conversation between he and Justice Alito about their time at Yale Law School (when Thomas was a left-wing radical). Thomas: “Sam, how come we were there two years together; why weren’t we friends?” Alito: “Clarence, you were scary.”

I always understood why the Second Amendment was constitutionally protected. What I never really understood was why people called it a natural right. Then I moved from New York to Florida. I didn’t own a gun yet. One afternoon I was loading things into the trunk of my car outside a HomeGoods when a man approached me. “Excuse me.” He must have thought he’d startled me, because he immediately added, “Don’t worry. I’m not going to get close.” I laughed. “I’m a New Yorker. I’m used to close. How can I help you?” He started telling me that he needed money for gas. At some point while he was talking, I got into my car. And sitting there, with the conversation still unfolding, I suddenly realized something: He didn’t know whether I had a gun. Not somewhere at home. Not hypothetically. For all he knew, I could have had one right there in the car, tucked under the steering wheel or within reach. I didn’t. But he couldn’t know that. Schrödinger’s gun. And in that instant, before I even knew whether his story was true, something changed in the space between us. I thought about New York. I thought about my friend who had been murdered in his own apartment during a burglary gone wrong. Would those men have gone into his apartment if they had believed he might be armed? I don’t know. I thought about the time I was mugged at gunpoint, with a gun pressed against my temple. Would that man have approached me with the same confidence if he had believed there was even a possibility that I could defend myself? I don’t know that either. But sitting there in that Florida parking lot, listening to this stranger talk, I suddenly understood deterrence in a way I never had before. Not as military theory. Not as constitutional law. As something intimate. My body. My life. The few feet between one person and another. For years I had thought about guns primarily as objects: who had one, who shouldn’t have one, what laws should govern them. Suddenly I understood the question from the other direction. What changes when another person cannot simply assume that I am defenseless? I felt taller. Not because I had a gun. I didn’t. But because, for the first time, I understood that someone approaching me could not automatically assume that being physically stronger meant having power over me. There was uncertainty. There was a boundary around my body that had to be taken seriously. Then his story began to fall apart. I told him I didn’t have cash, but offered to help another way. I could put some gas in his car. He took off. So apparently, yes, it was a scam. But by then I had already understood something much larger than the scam. The phrase natural right finally made sense to me. The Constitution had not given me ownership of my body. It had not given me my life. It had not invented my right to protect either one. Those things came first. What I understood that afternoon was the thing underneath them. I had once been completely helpless while another human being held a gun against my temple. Years later, without a gun in my possession at all, I understood what it meant for the person approaching me not to know whether I was helpless. That uncertainty changed the space between us. And that was the moment I finally understood the natural right behind the Second Amendment: My life is mine, and the right to defend it has to exist before anyone gives me permission to do so.

They hate Justice Thomas because he is the embodiment of the gravest sin still recognized by the Woke Left: Being conservative while Black. It doesn’t get more racist.

On this new episode of The Sage Steele Show, Frank Caliendo joins me for a hilarious conversation about comedy, impressions, cancel culture, and he gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how he creates some of his most iconic voices. Frank gets honest about fame, family, why he has never had a drink in his life, and the coaching mistake he owned up to in front of a team of kids. Trust me, you're going to want to see this one. @FrankCaliendo

Dolly Parton released ‘I Will Always Love You’ in March 1974. The single reached number one on the country chart. Parton re-recorded the song for the 1982 film ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.’ That new version also hit No. 1 on the country chart. This made her the first artist to take the same song to No. 1 twice with different recordings

Bret Weinstein discusses the Charlie Kirk assassination with Viva Frei and Jimmy Dore on the newest DarkHorse Podcast Inside Rail. "We ought to all be interested in figuring out what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's profoundly important at a historical level. And that means that anybody who comes into that discussion as an honest broker, and is sorting through evidence in a good faith fashion, is part of the solution. We are sorting out the question — and there is no justification for leveling a moral accusation against us for doing that."

Clarence Thomas Says His Grandfather Helped Him Turn From Liberal to Conservative “He would challenge me because I'd say the country's racist and we need to destroy it all and he said, ‘And when you destroy it, where are you going to go? … What country is better than this country with all its problems?’ To which I had no answer.”
