If the McConnell wing of the Republican Party is not defeated, the GOP will eventually perish. It is either the “America First” agenda of Donald Trump or the MAGA supporters will form a new party. Grassroots Republicans are furious, and that anger is not going away.

Overwrought Nazi Analogies for Me, But Not for Thee?
As radio host Erick Erickson pointed out, “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal has a still-active tweet from 2018, captioned with “#ThisIsAmerica” and juxtaposing photos of concentration camp-bound Jews with what appear to be illegal alien children detained behind bars at the U.S. southern border (a practice largely begun by then-President Barack Obama, actually). Naturally, Gina Carano was fired for her deleted post, but Pascal will keep his perch.
Stop Calling It an Insurrection
Kurt Schlichter: What happened on Capitol Hill was a few dudes dressed like Conan the Fauxbarian acting like fools and occasionally fighting with the cops while a few hundred other dudes took selfies in the Rotunda.
Overdosing on Wokeium
Kurt Schlichter: Woke addicts see the white supremacists everywhere. Woke addicts know that men can transform into women from the power of wanting, and the junkies revel in the ecstasy of victory over mere reality by accepting that many men menstruate. Woke addicts know that the bad people are all around them, but are weirdly never found in Bel Air or the Hamptons.
The Left Is Calling the Capitol Riot an “Insurrection” and a “Coup Attempt” for a Reason
They want to paint a dark, ominous picture of the American political landscape, one that firmly places anyone who questioned the 2020 election or even supported former President Donald Trump as not just political adversaries, but enemies and even outlaws who want to overthrow a democratically elected government.
Trump Moves Out of the White House and Into Their Heads
Kurt Schlichter: Donald Trump has left Washington, but only in physical form. His mischievous specter still haunts that fortified cemetery where our Constitution and all our alleged norms have been interred in shallow graves. No one is talking about America’s No. 1 Matlock fan. You would never know that * is president.
A New GOP Future Beyond President Trump
President Trump was taking America in the right direction. That direction, refocusing on the core principles that indeed made American great to begin with, is certainly the place to start: limited government, capitalism, sanctity of life, faithfulness to our Constitution and the rule of law.
Questions About Masks Our Overlords Refuse to Answer
In truth, our elites intend masks to be an eternal reminder of peasants’ adherence to authority. If we’re lucky, red states and counties will fight back to contain this to perhaps certain seasons in certain parts of the country, but masks as a way of life are forever. They simply love them too much.
The Left’s Ongoing Campaign to Denigrate Trump Supporters
David Limbaugh: The Trump-hating cabal is convinced it finally hit pay dirt with the events of Jan. 6. They’re pushing the narrative that Trump incited an insurrection to violently overturn the government. Feel free to debate Trump’s culpability in all this (and ignore his express words calling for a peaceful march), but you should reflect on this bad-faith attempt to tie Trump supporters to this event and depict all of them as radical white supremacists.
Stop the Third Party Insanity
Kurt Schlichter: The only thing that makes the tooting likes of Eric Swalwell coo in delight harder than some mediocre Chi Com honeypot is the thought of us conservatives committing ritual suicide by splitting our half of the country in two because some of the 50 percent of Americans in our camp are insufferable sissies.
U.S. Should Vaccinate Its Own Before Sharing Vaccines
Decisions about vaccine sharing should not be left to public health “experts” whose globalist views are now ascendant in Washington, D.C. Helping the world is important, but America needs to take care of its own first.
The Left Wants Unconditional Surrender, Not Unity
It is Biden, not Republicans, who is pledging an agenda to unify the country. But so far, the new administration’s position seems to be: Why bother to find common ground when you control all of the levers of governmental power and you can steamroll over them instead? What is to be gained by uniting with people who are “white supremacists” or “insurrectionists”?
Biden’s Disappearing Covid
Every cable news channel that kept the latest deaths (which was always a random and manipulated figure), new infections (which we only knew from a surge in testing), and the neon glow lettering that had announced them on permanent display in the lower third or in static boxes on one half of the screens have just suddenly vanished. It seems the changes occurred about 12:01 on Inauguration Day. So odd.
Resist
Biden and his handlers are conducting the American freight train leftward at full throttle. Our job is to counter their propaganda and resist every leftist executive order and policy initiative with as much force as Democrats resisted Trump from day one — not for payback, not to be petty but for the good of the nation and our fellow citizens.
Impeach Obama
Democrats have impeached Trump and hope to hold a trial in the Senate even though he’s left office, why not Obama too? It doesn’t have to be now, Democrats in the House would never vote for it, but if Republicans retake it in two years – game on.
“No Thanks, I’ll Be Skipping the Inauguration”
Kurt Schlichter: The best part of Dementiafest 2021 is that it will be a sullen, sad affair installing the manifestly senile old pervert at the head of the ricketiest administration in memory while surrounded by at least two divisions of soldiers lest a gigantic army of dudes in Viking drag decide to show up.
Media Boost Biden as “Above the Fray”
Tim Graham: Pardon me if I laugh when reporters tout that some politician they like is posing as being “above the fray.” This fray is something reporters usually force politicians to confront. If politicians are effortlessly floating above it, reporters are allowing it.
Refuse to Be Silenced
Kurt Schlichter: Parler’s gone for now, the victim of a conspiracy to silence, but it will return. The fascists can try, but they can’t shut us up forever. Truth flows like water around obstacles. The Twitbookgram decided to start playing whack-a-prole to bonk unapproved ideas on the noggin and pretty soon too many heads will be popping up out of too many new holes.
Trump’s Masada Moment
He cannot control Democrats’ ability to politicize events and impeach him. But, if they do it, he can take control by resigning. He can take the high, high ground, in contrast to their low, low ground. He can take responsibility for the horror that just occurred at the Capitol, because it occurred on his watch.
Do Not Believe These People
Derek Hunter: Every single time one of those teleprompter-reading TV personalities masquerading as journalists use a phrase like “It’s a sad day” or “It’s impacted all of us,” I want to throw up. There has never been a phonier, less trustworthy group of people with more influence in history.
#FreeSpeechMonday and DePlatforming Amerika
What America has turned into—Amerika—in the last 72 hours resembles the technological equivalent of Cuba, China, and the old Soviet Union.
Trump’s Agenda Must Survive His Presidency
David Limbaugh: Trump didn’t arise in a vacuum, and the left’s mission to fundamentally transform America that gave birth to Trump and Trumpism is not only alive and well but is even more dangerous now that Democrats have captured control of the two political branches of our government.
A Day of Rage, a Day of Shame
Mark David: Trump is entitled to his anger. His voters are entitled to theirs. Members of the House and Senate are entitled to their constitutionally established avenues of objection. But no one gets to do what happened Wednesday. And no one should defend it or even attempt to excuse it under some guise of “Hey, this is what you get when people get really mad,” which was sadly the thrust of a Trump tweet as evening fell.
Will the Real Racists in America Raise Their Hands?
Teaching black children that they are living in a racist country and that they have no chance without government intervention, without diversity politics, without receiving special treatment because of their race destroys that child’s sense of humanity, personal uniqueness and personal responsibility.
