Whatever else may be said about him, one fact cannot be denied: Nicholas J. Fuentes, the 27-year-old racialist influencer, is on the run of his life.

That’s a remarkable shift from 2017, when Fuentes was a little-known university freshman who hosted a little-watched political talk show. Over time, he developed a fanatical, cultlike following known as the “Groypers.”

His digital following soon crossed over into the real world: first, with his involvement in the 2017 Unite the Right rally; then, with his long-running feud with conservative activist Charlie Kirk; and finally, with his role in “Stop the Steal,” which culminated outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Fuentes has cultivated a reputation as the most provocative and controversial figure on the Right. He has done this by embracing taboos, praising Hitler, and opposing interracial marriage.

In turn, he has ridden a wave of spectacle and outrage to new heights, with an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show, and garnering frequent coverage in outlets such as the New York Times and The Atlantic.

Attempting to undercut his growing influence, the media and Fuentes’s right-leaning critics both tend to focus on Fuentes’s record of offensive remarks. Take Fuentes’s appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. During the two-hour interview, Morgan played a litany of clips from Fuentes’s talk show, highlighting bigoted comments he’s made over the years.

But this line of attack merely plays into Fuentes’s hands.

You may only now be hearing about Kathryn Ruemmler because of her connections to Jeffrey Epstein — including reports that she referred to him as “Uncle Jeffrey” and accepted a $9,400 Hermes handbag from him — but you have seen her work. Those associations ultimately led to her recent resignation from Goldman Sachs, yet Ruemmler, Barack Obama’s White House counsel and often described as a political “fixer,” has been near some of the most consequential controversies of the past two decades.

Washington insists it runs on rules, but every so often the public sees something else — not a cinematic conspiracy, but a professional ecosystem. A network, sometimes called the “swamp,” a governing class that moves from government to law firms to finance to media and back again, carrying influence with it almost like diplomatic immunity.

Rarely is there a political issue like the SAVE America Act, which is extremely popular with the American people, but lacks support in the upper house of Congress. The SAVE America Act, if voted into law, would put an end to most vote fraud and election irregularities in America. About 80% of voters support the bill, yet it has less than 50% support from U.S. senators.

It is obvious why there is overwhelming support from the people for this legislation. Election integrity is the DNA of America. The legitimacy and moral authority of the country come only from the people who express their preferences for their local, state, and national government officials through free and fair elections. When there is vote fraud and election irregularities, the moral authority of government is compromised, causing the people to disrespect and distrust their own government.

The moral authority of United States is also critical in maintaining regional and world order and peace. The most crucial factor in prevailing against corrupt regimes and dictatorial foreign governments is often the moral authority of the United States. When the U.S. loses its moral authority, as it did during the Biden administration, the deterrent power of the United States is compromised and foreign adversaries are emboldened.

We’d all like to think we live in a just world. A world in which the strong take care of the weak, and where good ultimately triumphs.But if we’re being honest, we know that’s not the case. There is no shortage of injustice in the world or examples of rulers abusing their power.

For many people, this is a painful realization they come to only in adulthood.

But to the Greeks, it was common knowledge.

Writing nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek historian Thucydides highlighted this in a famous passage from his History of the Peloponnesian War. Known today as the “Melian Dialogue,” the section reveals the harsh reality of power politics. It has inspired leaders and politicians ever since, and debates continue to rage as to what the proper response should be to the reality Thucydides portrays.

Today, we look at the Melian Dialogue to respond to the question, “Does might make right?” The answer, you might be surprised to learn, is far from straightforward…

Democrats remind the nation daily that every incumbent president, except three over the last century, has suffered substantial midterm losses in Congress. Polls show President Donald Trump suffering an average 11-point negative unfavorability rating.

But the left will never offer any alternative agenda on the economy, the border, crime or foreign policy.So absent a positive agenda, Democrats will simply run all their state and federal campaigns as if Trump, their satanic monster, is on every ballot.

Behind this stale Democrat boilerplate lies a deep fear that the Nietzschean Trump, just as he beat all their lawfare ambushes, will also do the impossible and avoid losing Congress in November.

And they should fear.  Here’s why…

For half a century, the American Left has done its best to cancel the future.

We were promised nuclear-powered everything. Clean electricity too cheap to meter. Cities in the desert. Ocean liners and maybe even airplanes running on atoms. Nuclear rockets cutting the trip to Mars to months instead of years.

Instead, Democrats gave us rolling blackouts, German-style “energy transitions,” and a never-ending string of hysterical predictions that never came true and for which no one apologized (even if they remembered them at all).

In yet another return to sanity, the Trump administration is now planning to roll back a key Obama administration climate "finding" that was used to regulate the daylights out of energy production in the United States. That Obama-era regulation identified six greenhouse gases requiring regulation, which included CO2.

President Donald Trump's administration is poised to walk back an Obama-era greenhouse gas finding that serves as a lynchpin for justifying climate regulations across the country on Wednesday.

The 2009 "endangerment finding" identifies six greenhouse gases that the Obama administration said pose "a threat to public health and welfare." That harm finding was then used to justify sweeping climate regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), such as raising fuel economy standards and limiting power plant emissions, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin hailed the move as cutting through government red tape in an interview with the Journal.

Those regulations, of course, were like putting a sea anchor on the economy. It seems Democrats never saw a scheme for jacking up energy costs that they didn't like, and the Obama people were no exceptions. Now we're seeing some of the stupidity reversed.
