Michelle Malkin Fired After Defending Nick Fuentes – Mediaite

Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin was fired by the Young Americas Foundation (YAF), according to a new report, after she supported a Holocaust-denying, far-right activist who has been trying to revive the alt-right as an influential part of the conservative movement.

In recent months, white nationalist, anti-Semitic internet personality Nick Fuentes has drawn attention for leading a group of supporters to disrupt YAF, Turning Point USA, and other conservative events on college campuses. Most recently, Donald Trump Jr. and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk were heckled off stage at an event where the presidents son was promoting his new book.

The Hill describes Fuentes group, known as Groypers, as a loose collection of people who believe people like Kirk are insufficiently right-wing, so the Groypers barge into their events in order to push bigoted sociopolitical positions. While a plethora of mainstream conservatives have condemned them, The Daily Beast reports that Malkin has lauded Fuentes as one of the New Right leaders,bashed his critics, and parroted his talking points.

Malkin has years of history with the YAF speakers bureau, but that came to an end this week. The group sent a statement to the Beast saying, Michelle Malkin in no longer part of YAFs campus lecture program. They also released this tweet which seems to be directed at Fuentes crowd.

Fuentes has recently achieved somewhat viral status on Twitter thanks to videos in which he denies the Holocaust; defends racial segregation; calls for CNN journalists to be hanged.

Malkin responded to this by reaffirming her support for Fuentes and criticizing YAF as the Keepers of the Gate.

While Malkin has doubled down on her views, conservatives have condemned them.

Netflix Removed Kanye’s ‘Harmful Alt-Right Beliefs’ From David …

Fallen billionaire and rap mogul Kanye West, also known as Ye, reportedly spewed controversial and far-right rhetoric during a 2019 interview with David Letterman that was later removed before airing on Netflix.

The interview aired in late May 2019 on the second season of Letterman's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," in which Ye defended Donald Trump supporters, discussed his mental health issues, and talked about his "beef" with music artist Drake.

While it was shot in January 2019 at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, several audience members recently told TheWrapthe version of the interview that appeared on Netflix left out some key moments including Ye victim-blaming Rihanna for being a survivor of domestic violence and saying Trump supporters were treated like Nazis.

Ye also reportedly said he feared becoming "MeToo-ed" like an unidentified friend in the music industry. Noah Reich, an audience member at the taping, told TheWrap that Ye spoke about a powerful group within Hollywood that brought the #MeToo movement into being. Reich believed he was referring to Jewish people.

At certain points, Reich said he and other audience members shouted at West and questioned his remarks. When Ye claimed that Trump followers are treated like Nazis, Reich said he responded aloud with "because they are Nazis" before receiving applause.

Ye and Letterman continued the interview without acknowledging the audience's remarks, Reich said.

"It was shocking to see that Kanye West could share harmful alt-right beliefs, conspiracy theory after conspiracy, and misogynistic beliefs about women for the majority of the interview and end up with an edit that removed all those items in favor of celebrity fluff content," Reich told TheWrap.

An audience member identified as Larry F told the Wrap that he's "not sure what legalities they're dealing with" but he didn't find the Netflix episode to be "an honest assessment of what went on that night."

Worldwide Pants, Inc., Letterman's production company, told TheWrap that "the producers went to great lengths to accurately present" West's viewpoints. The production company, which partnered with another called Zero Point Zero Production Inc. to produce the show, added that "unfounded attacks on specific individuals are not included out of privacy, accuracy, and legal concerns."

Netflix, The Wrap said, argued a similar point and maintained that parts of the interview were condensed for length.

On October 28, writer and political commentator Elad Nehorai shed light on the situation in a Substack, citing an anonymous audience member. "The most harmful part of this, and this should be the focus, is that David Letterman did nothing, and that most of it didn't air," Nehorai wrote.

Within the past month, Ye has called Black Lives Matter "a scam," said in a deleted tweet that he was "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE," and appeared on The Brilliant Idiots podcast saying that his ex-wife Kim Kardashian "is out here fucking a white boy [Pete Davidson] with a 10-inch penis."

Insider was unable to confirm that TheWrap's sources were in the audience. Representatives for Netflix, Worldwide Pants, and Zero Point Zero Production did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Reich was not immediately reachable for comment.

Where Are All the Women on This Alt-Right, Anti-Choice, Toxic …

The first reviews of the recently launched, self-branded conservative dating app, The Right Stuff are in Some common reviewer complaints include that the app is short on women and that answering a profile prompt about January 6 led to contact from law enforcement. Gizmodo, 10/5/22

- - -

I like to think Im a pretty normal, conservative-leaning guy who believes LGBT people are possessed by Satan, all abortions should be punishable by public stoning, and vaccines were invented by Jews to make mens foreskins fall off so that all guys with penises will be circumcised and forced to convert to Judaism. You know, just center-of-the-road right-wing stuff.

But Ive always had a hard time meeting women on dating apps, maybe because liberal women have been brainwashed by Queer Eye to believe that men should be able to clear the unrealistically high bar of having the basic ability to regulate their emotions and be able to make a decent omelet.

So when I heard about a new dating app called The Right Stuff, aimed at helping conservatives meet each other (and thus out-procreate the minorities trying to replace us), you can imagine how excited I was to meet the Q to my Anon. But then I opened the app and hardly saw any women, and I couldnt help but wonder: Where are all the alt-right, anti-choice, male-subservient women on this dating app?

Look, Im not a picky guy. All Im looking for is a woman who is intelligent, funny, and attractive, who believes God created women to help men with stuff theyre naturally bad at, like empathy, and who enjoys shooting wild animals from a helicopter. So where are the millions of women I imagine fit that exact description if not on this app?

Its not like my political views are that out there. I just happen to subscribe to the traditional belief that women belong in three places: the home, the home goods section of HomeGoods, and Home Depot (but only the paint department, because the rest of the store is strictly guy territory). So its strange that every time I sign into this app, the only people I see are like-minded guys and a woman who claims to be Marjorie Taylor Greenes cute younger sister, but who Im pretty sure is a sexbot. Is it really that difficult to find a woman whose only ambitions in life are to gratify me sexually at my whim, be a vessel for my offspring, and then die? Is that so much to ask?

I want what everyone else in life wants: someone to wake up in the morning next to, someone to bathe and spoon-feed me when Im old (and also when Im young and middle-aged), and someone to hold my hand while we commit heinous acts of domestic terrorism against people whose beliefs dont align perfectly with ours. But I guess some women would rather be left alone to snuggle under a warm blanket while sipping mulled cider, watching Gilmore Girls, and petting their cat. Alas, some people just choose to act against their own best interests.

Ive always subscribed to that age-old conservative aphorism a wife is like a mother whos your same age. Someday I hope to meet a woman who wants to be my wife-mother, which I would think would be every womans dream.

In the meantime, I guess Ill go back to scrolling Tinder and Hinge, since The Right Stuff is mostly just ads for camo gaiters and dick pills. I also have to respond to the email I got from the FBI. Apparently bragging about pepper spraying women police officers on January 6 isnt the pickup line I thought it would be.

Forbes Gets Punked – Labels FTX Former CEO’s Girlfriend a "New Darling …

Forbes got punked big time.

The once-conservative publication Forbes released a story yesterday on the girlfriend of FTXs former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison who was the CEO of Alameda, the investment arm of FTX.

Instapundit reports on what Forbes shared which has now been edited:

Heres the passage from the article on how Ellison is a new darling of the alt-right:

TRENDING: Nine-Hour Hearing Held in Delaware County After Officials Took a Detour from Counting Center into a Closed Building for 6 Hours on Election Day

In recent days, Ellison has faced a barrage of particularly nasty criticism from crypto boosters who blame her for overseeing the downfall of Alameda. But amid the vitriol she has found some defenders in an unlikely group of people who have celebrated the musings about race science and imperialism on a blog she allegedly wrote in college. Some of her defenders, who call her Queen Caroline, are followers ofCurtis Yarvin, a neoreactionary political theorist and far right darling. Many of the people who have flocked to Ellisons defense gather on Urbit, a peer-to-peer platform created by Yarvin, one of her online supporters toldForbes. They think Ellison was set up to be the fall person, and claim that former co-CEO Sam Trabucco, who they derisively call Sam Tabasco, is behind Alamedas implosion. Trabucco didnt respond to multiple requests for comment.

I definitely think shes innocent, one said. I think Caroline can be saved.

The Tweet Forbes shared is still up:

Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is a math whiz who loves Harry Potter and taking big risks. She is also one of the supporting players in Sam Bankman-Frieds FTX catastrophe and a new darling of the alt-right.

The information from the tweet came from a source that was punking Forbes.

This is amazing. The source for this alt-right darling on Urbit thing was trolling them & is now tweeting about it. Were at Rahul Ligma levels journalizm here. https://t.co/N8ExI03ytU

jonstokes.(eth|com) (@jonst0kes) November 19, 2022

Forbes significantly revised its article and issued a pathetic, non-descriptive one-sentence correction at the very, very end without admitting what happened.

Forbes used to be a conservative publication but it has changed over the past few years to the point where it now focuses on stories like this one. Sad.

Alt-Right Picks Wrong Side in Dutch Farm Crisis

Agrifirm animal feed factory in Veghel, the Netherlands (Brabants Dagblad/Domien van der Meijden)

The international alt-right has picked the wrong side in the Netherlands farm crisis.

Former American president Donald Trump, French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, Danish climate-change sceptic Bjrn Lomborg and media like Breitbart, The Federalist, Fox News and The Spectator may think theyre backing the little guy against out-of-touch political elites; theyre doing the bidding of Big Ag.

In Areo Magazine, I point out the farmers protests against the Dutch government are funded by three of the largest animal feed companies in the world as well as dairy and meat processors. They stand to lose the most from a reduction in livestock farming.

The Netherlands is the largest meat exporter in Europe and the fifth-largest dairy exporter in the world. To produce so much meat, milk and cheese, it needs almost as many cows and pigs as people: 16 million. The country also has 100 million chickens and with it the highest livestock density in the world.

Animal manure is the Netherlands main source of ammonia pollution. In the EU, only Malta has higher emissions per hectare.

Manure can be used as fertilizer, but too much of it kills the very microbes in the soil that make it fertile. It also seeps into the groundwater, which farmers use to irrigate their crops and which Dutch people drink, causing eye and nose irritation and lung damage in people and animals.

Ammonia is especially dangerous to plants, insects and birds in conservation areas. The Netherlands has lost 70 percent of its insect population in the last thirty years. It has been in constant violation of EU protections for birds and habitats since regulations were introduced in the 1990s.

Piecemeal reforms and technologies like air purifiers have reduced emissions by 65 percent from a peak in the 1990s.

To cut emissions further, the government has proposed to buy out or relocate one in three livestock farmers, or 11,000. Another 17,000 would need to downsize.

Farmers argue thats impossible as long as they dont fetch a better price for dairy and meat. In previous years, one in three didnt even earn a minimum wage.

Farms have grown as profit margins have narrowed. The average Dutch dairy farmer has gone from 62 to 108 cows in two decades, the average pig farmer from 900 to 3,400 pigs.

Many farmers werent able to scale up: 45,000 out of 97,000 quit in the same period.

Farmers have little bargaining power. Only a few companies sell animal feed, pesticides and milking robots. Five wholesalers have 80 percent of the market. Three in four dairy farmers work for FrieslandCampina.

The agro conglomerates make big profits. The companies that fund the farmers protests Agrifirm, De Heus and ForFarmers (animal feed), Royal A-ware (dairy) and Vandrie Group (beef and veal) had a combined turnover of 8.7 billion (1 percent of Dutch GDP) last year, when they made a profit of 212 million. Little wonder they dont want to change.

Its not just farmers who feel exploited: 64 percent say factory farming is a dead end. Cows and pigs live short and brutal lives. (Conditions for chickens have improved with an EU ban on battery cages and an increase in the sale of free-range eggs.)

A third never see daylight until they are transported to slaughter. The average pig lives on one square meter, the legal minimum. Boredom and overcrowding cause some pigs to become aggressive. Many farmers cut off the tails of piglets, so that they cannot be bitten off by adult pigs later in life. Dairy cows expire after six or seven years, when their natural life expectancy is fifteen to twenty years. 27 percent develop udder inflammation from overmilking. Falls and lameness are common among cows and pigs who sleep and walk on concrete floors, which is nearly all of them.

If thats how Trump, Le Pen, Lomborg, Breitbart, The Federalist, Fox News and The Spectator think farming should be done, let them say it. But stop it with the nonsense about plucky Dutch farmers standing up to a nefarious green agenda that was drafted in Brussels or Davos. (It wasnt.)
