Race Expert Newt Gingrich Says Herschel Walker Is Better “African American” Over Sen. Warnock

Gingrich expressed that despite both candidates being Black, he felt Walker stood out more because of his business acumen and struggles with mental health. “I think that Herschel Walker has the courage, the integrity to be a...

Kanye West Enlists Alt-Right Provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos to Work on 2024 Presidential Campaign
Kanye West has apparently forged a relationship with alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos ahead of a planned 2024 run for president. Over the weekend, West introduced Yiannopoulos to paparazzi as someone “who is working on the campaign.” When asked if he was indeed running for president, West responded, “Yes… It’s simple…. It’s just we’re moving toward the future.” Though West has increasingly aligned himself with right-wing political figures as of late, his association with Yiannopoulos is especially troubling. The former Breitbart writer is known for his hateful stances on Islam, feminism, and the LGBTQ+ community, as well as for his associations with various neo-Nazi and antisemitic figures. He famously was fired from Brietbart and lost a book deal after a video circulated in which h...

Phony Stark aka Elon Musk To Reinstate Donald Trump On Twitter, White Power Twitter Praises Lord Cheeto’s Return
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: OLIVIER DOULIERY / Getty The moment most everyone, with common sense, feared has arrived. Billionaire troll Elon Musk said on Saturday (Nov. 19) that he would be reinstating Donald Trump to the platform. The decision is only the latest, eyebrow-raising move from Musk, who purchased Twitter in October for $44 billion after trying for months not to purchase the social media app. Since his purchase, Musk has fired thousands of employees and has inspired thousands of resignations—all while throwing cold water on the theory that billionaires must be sound business people. So it shouldn’t be a shock that musk would move to reinstate Trump, who was infamously booted from the app back in January 2020 thanks to his rhetoric that inspired the January 6 Insurr...

Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.” Shortly afterward Trump’s account, which had earlier appeared as suspended, reappeared on the platform complete with his former ...
Tom Petty Estate Hits Kari Lake with Cease and Desist Over “I Won’t Back Down” Usage
