The Erika Kirk v. Candace Owens feud isn't just juicy.
It's a sign that the MAGA movement is destabilizing, especially as Trump gets weaker.
It's also a story of how the GOP ceded leadership to greedy influencers, and now that's backfiring.

On Dec. 4, 1977, CBC aired an animated special called A Cosmic Christmas.
It was one of the first productions by a Canadian studio that later brought us Inspector Gadget, The Edison Twins and The Care Bears.
It also led to the creation of Boba Fett.
This is the story.

Charlie Kirk is about to be transformed into the Hatsune Miku of the right-wing griftosphere
I’ve thought it’s weird that Turning Point still had Charlie Kirk’s picture up as a featured speaker for AmericaFest (now just two weeks away), but it’s really weird that they’ve left it up after updating to add newly-confirmed speaker JD Vance.
