by JD Rucker
Conservatives are not fighting progressives and moderate Republicans on an even playing field. Legacy media, the education system, Hollywood, and powerful labor unions are all helping leftists and "RINOs" control the narrative. It might even be considered futile if constitutional conservatives didn't have one thing on our side: The Truth. In this podcast, JD Rucker will offer strategies for conservatives to win on the policy and election fronts. The UniParty Swamp may have the assets, but we have reality on our side. Let's use that to our advantage. conservativeplaylist.substack.com

Look at the week that just closed. Fox News still led cable news, as it almost always does, averaging about 1.78...

Your AI Girlfriend Is a Demon of Convenience
Somewhere tonight, millions of men will say goodnight to a woman who does not exist. She never argues. She never has a headache or a bad day or a conviction that challenges his. She is endlessly available, endlessly affirming, and endlessly fake, and she is being marketed as the cure for the...

Leftists Are Severing Family Ties and Therapists Are Cheering Them On

Anyone Who Thinks the Illegal Immigration Problem Was Better Under Biden Is Dumb
Some of us think that President Trump and his administration should do more to fix the border crisis. Build the wall, do more deportations, and stop the "protesters" from obstructing justice.
