What are America’s habits and customs these days? In a word, they are woke. And that’s especially true at the American Enterprise Institute.
In a recent podcast titled “Why the Hell Is the Right Embracing Victor Orbán?” with Danielle Pletka and Matthew Continetti, Mark Thiessen took after the Hungarian prime minister, wondering why “there is a strain of conservatism that has embraced the politics of Viktor Orbán.” The charge is that Orbán hasn’t been letting immigrants into Hungary—though there may also be a hidden agenda. Pletka claimed Orbán is saying, “We’re all white people here, and where we need to draw the border is with brown people.”
Please! Is race all they think about?

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
