Fantastic news! The White House having no doubt lined up Fuentes in advance, and his base overwhelmingly tells him what he can do with it.
And possibly the best part is that these are the sort of stats Trump gives the most of his valuable personal attention. (Not every swallow a spring, but still ...)
As an opera chorister with a 20+ year history of performing in Knoxville, I am quite familiar with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and can attest that they are a fine organization with the highest personal and professional standards. They are also overwhelmingly white, so the idea that they are turning to DEI hires is laughable. I will be attending a performance of theirs this wekeend, and I now dread what MAGA morons might show up to cause trouble.
take the oil goes way back. MAGA only hates foreign adventures where we get ripped off trying to promote democracy or establish stability. Pure smash and grab to flex power and take control of resources, money, power...punish our enemies. That was there from the very first Trump rallies
Thanks for the report about the clarinet audition. Orchestra auditions are not something the general public knows much about - and certainly Harmeet Dhillon wouldn't, either, unless she was a seriously talented instrumentalist in an earlier life. Mr. Zimmerman is claiming discrimination and DEI because they hired the runner up - who I understand to be an Asian woman. But anyone who know the music business at all knows 1) auditions are highly subjective and 2) a lot of the candidates - and there could have been dozens - are qualified for the job.
If a White man had been selected in his place, he wouldn't be able to argue "DEI." And he appears to be active in MAGA social-media circles. So I appreciate that he wants the job and is qualified for it, but the Knoxville decision seems to be more a case that his reputation as a toxic employee precedes him and they don't want to deal with it.

for those of us who don't regularly follow nick fuentes (thanks for doing it so we don't have to, will!), it would be helpful to know what the ratio usually is of negative to positive response on a typical post... will, can you clarify this?
i ask because i'm looking at the 5.55K negative response, and yet the positive responses, when added up, make it look like almost an even split. so that means a LOT of groypers are still on board with the whole "let's take over the whole hemisphere" vibe.
So first we "find out" Nick Fuentes is a VIRGIN (InCel to his pathetic core) and now "America First" is just a con man's slogan to get elected by the dumbest or most craven/bigoted part of America? I mean...so shocked <eyeroll>.
There is a large percentage of MAGA that grew up with a hate for Putin, communism and the KGB playbook - killing adversaries on the other end of the world, poison, taking Ukraine property - or Venezuela or Greenland. Even the RINO's want peace, ethics, ethical leadership and the EU allies. MAGA is no longer Trump's main support - his main support comes from ,it is the richest, the media he has corrupted the lawyers he has challenged or paid off, a corrupt Congress full of pedophiles and insurrectionists, a corrupt SCOTUS, and Leonard Leo's Federalist Society of unethical lawyers. Many of these people took oaths but are spineless. We don't want a Putin or to live the quality of life Russia has. Our justice system employees and lawyers need to take a stand - maybe our Dr.'s and CPA's too. Maybe Switzerland can have Rolex give all of Congress our major law firms and SCOTUS a special gift as they did Trump? Thomas is an easy mark.
The fundamental tension here is that they’re all about foreign wars if it can be framed as chauvinistic land and resource grabs, but they’re against it when the wars are packaged as benefitting the rest of the world. They fundamentally love the U.S. acting as a bully via its military — it hits all their emotional sweet spots. But they’re against don’t love the idea of upholding a world order. To the extent Trump frames this as wrecking the rules based international order, he will continue to get MAGA support for it. The thing they hate about Ukraine is that it’s sold to them as defending a rules based order in Europe.
"whether the United States will run the country, or merely coerce it constantly"
Those last four words express what I've been thinking the real message is in Trump's most recent bloviating, whether he realizes it or not. And like . . . it's worth pointing out that you really can't explicitly threaten to repeat a surprise attack, especially when that attack involves sending several Chinooks to a heavily guarded facility.
The Bulwark has to stop falling for Trump's tactics for distraction.
On January 3, 2026, the DOJ was legally required to provide an explanation for every redaction and every file withheld in the Epstein files. That's the same day that Trump decided to invade Venezuela. Coincidence? I think not.
But the transparent ploy has apparently worked since nobody on the Bulwark has said a word about the DOJ missing the Epstein deadline ...
"Fans"... that kind of says it all, now, doesn't it?
Actually, the Broligarchs are toppling the US government for the country's resources.
It's just all being studiously ignored!

This kind of stuff is truly fascinating.

One correction: only one of the musicians in question in Nashville is Black; the other is Latino.

I also think everyone reacts differently if they kidnap or kill a female leader.
