- Far-right pastor Patrick Wooden says that whoever was responsible for posting a racist image of the Obamas on President Donald Trump's social media page should be fired.
- Andrew Isker declares that "the Central Park 5 were guilty as sin" and that "only race-obsessed lefties care more about their race than whether sadistic, violent criminals are punished." The Central Park 5 were all exonerated.
- Jenna Ellis complains about the performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" before the Super Bowl: "It's trying to bring an element of Marxism and a false world view into a sporting event."
- Joel Webbon believes that "white boomers" can be brought into the white nationalism movement if it is sold to them as simply opposing racism and discrimination.
- Joshua Haymes is confident that "Pizzagate is real."
- Finally, we recognize that Mike Lindell's gubernatorial campaign already has a ton of baggage, but his ties to white nationalist conspiracy theorist Lauren Witzke should not be overlooked.

Lee Brice Announces New Single “Country Nowadays,” Which He Performed During Turning Point USA Super Bowl Halftime, Dropping This Month
Aaron Ryan·February 8, 2026
Lee Brice
Looks like Kid Rock isn’t the only one dropping a new song after the Super Bowl halftime show(s).
Video Playlist
Lee Brice announced tonight that he’ll be releasing his new single, “Country Nowadays,” on February 19, after debuting the patriotic anthem during the Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show.
Brice first teased the song during an interview with Breitbart News ahead of the performance, announcing that the song would be available on his still yet-to-be-announced upcoming 30-song album.
The politically-charged anthem finds Brice lamenting the state of the country these days:
*“It ain’t easy being country in this country nowadays
*The direction of fingers point when it all goes up in flames
*Saying I’m some right wing devil because I was downside red letter raised
*It ain’t easy being country in this country nowadays”
In introducing the song during the halftime show, Brice praised TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk for giving people a voice to speak out about their beliefs:
“Charlie, he gave people microphones so they could say what was on their minds. This is what was on mine.”*
One verse (and line) in particular really seemed to resonate on social media:
*“I just want to cut my grass, feed my dog, wear my boots
*Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evening news
*Be told if I tell my own daughter
*That little boys ain’t little girls [got cheer?]
*I’ll be up a creek in hot water
*In this cancel-your-a** world”
Immediately after the performance I began getting messages from people wanting to know where they could find the song, and it wasn’t long before Lee himself gave us our answer.
The song is available for pre-save now on streaming platforms, and according to Spotify will be dropping everywhere on February 19.
Lee’s announcement comes as Kid Rock also gears up to drop a song that he performed during the halftime show.
After opening with his own rockin’ song “Bawitaba,” Kid Rock (whose real name is Robert Ritchie) slowed things down with his own spin on Cody Johnson’s #1 single “Til You Can’t,” even adding his own verse that he wrote after the death of Charlie Kirk:
“There’s a book that is sitting in your house somewhere
That could use some dusting off
There’s a man that died for all our sins, hanging on the cross
You can give your life to Jesus, and he’ll give you a second chance
‘Til you can’t”
Kid introduced the new lyrics by saying that he woke up one morning and felt called to add one more verse:
“I awoke one Sunday morning all alone with this song stuck in my head, and in that moment, something or someone spoke to me. They said there was still a verse that needed to be written for this song. And to get up and write it down.”*
It’s a version of the song that Kid Rock first performed back in November while filling in for CoJo during the Hondo Rodeo Fest. And ahead of the halftime show, Kid even recorded his version of “Til You Can’t” to drop as a single tonight at midnight.
I have a feeling both of these songs are going to be pretty popular.

- Isaac Schorr @ Mediaite: Mike Johnson Jumps Aboard Trump’s Rigged Elections Bandwagon: ‘Can I Prove That? No’
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) suggested that three 2024 congressional elections may have been rigged against the GOP while speaking to reporters on Tuesday.
- David Moye @ HuffPost: Turning Point USA's Alternative Super Bowl Lineup Is Even Lamer Than You Thought
Turning Point USA, the right-wing political group founded by Charlie Kirk, announced the lineup on Monday for what it’s billed as an alternative Super Bowl halftime show, and people on social media aren’t exactly singing its praises.
- The Throckmorton Initiative: TPUSA's Super Bowl Halftime Show with a Side Dish of Christian Nationalism
The late Charlie Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA is planning and promoting what it calls a “conservative friendly” alternative to the NFL sponsored Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL show features Puerto Rican raggaeton artist Bad Bunny. Headling the TPUSA show is Kid Rock. If you know anything about these artists, you know that both use profanity and explicit lyrics. The key difference for people supporting the alternative show is that Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican and performs his lyrics in Spanish. This has MAGA folk in a tizzy. They want their Super Bowl white and English.
- Sophie Lawton @ Media Matters: Steve Bannon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Weekend
As his extensive and friendly communications with Epstein were revealed, Steve Bannon's candidate lost a “vitally important” election.

The rancher famous for armed standoffs with the government said the left is "more correct" on immigration.
- Steve Benen @ The Maddow Blog: Trump claims he wasn’t ‘friendly’ with Epstein, despite all of the available evidence
The president’s willingness to push a line that was obviously untrue was an odd and unnecessary misstep.

When Kash Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing on potentially becoming director of the FBI, he was asked about the multiple appearances he had made on a program hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters. Predictably, Patel feigned ignorance, prompting Peters himself to declare that Patel was clearly lying.
Patel's effort to now distance himself from Peters is understandable, given that Patel was likely fully aware that Peters is a racist, anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalism and virulent antisemitism while spreading wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and open calls for violence.
All of this was on full display during last night's program, where Peters spent a half hour ranting that the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar was "an anti-white shitshow."
"After several consecutive years of conducting satanic rituals on live television, the NFL went right back to doing what it does best: Giving a platform to degenerate blacks," Peters fumed. "Every single one of America's biggest entertainment platforms—from the fake and gay rigged sports entertainment leagues like the NFL, to the music industry, to all of our TV shows—has completely given into this degenerate black filth culture that was created by a bunch of subversive Jews and then weaponized against the American public."
"Even though your conservative uncle will tell you, 'It was totally based because Donald Trump was there' and they didn't have 'End Racism' spray painted across the end zones as they usually do, this was an anti-white shitshow," Peters ranted.
"Let's just cut down the brass tack here," he continued. "What this is is an opportunity for a bunch of Jews and their black minions and whatever other shades of foot soldiers they can find to address a captive audience of retarded white cucks who actually tune into this shit and then beat them over the head with their racism propaganda."
"That's what America has become, which is tragic because it was never supposed to be this way," Peters said. "America was always supposed to be a white country."
"They're doing this because they hate white people and they wanna steal and they wanna destroy all of the things that white people have built, including your country," Peters asserted. "And egging them on, putting the battery in their little backpacks are the demonic little subversives that opened our borders to these savages in the first place: the Jews."
"It really is that simple," Peters concluded. "And it makes it easy to understand why America's Founding Fathers, by definition, were white nationalists. Because they knew that this country couldn't exist as some kind of a degenerate melting pot or a hodgepodge of the world's fucking rejects; people who flooded in from cesspits from Hell all over the world where they couldn't figure out how to rub two fucking sticks together. This country was founded by white people and it was founded for white people."

Patel, of course, is not the only GOP leader who has appeared on Peters' show, as Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on "The Stew Peters Show." On top of that, Peters himself has even participated in ReAwaken America events alongside various Trump insiders and members of the Trump family.

From electric vehicles to cosmetics, and even the word “mummy,” there is a lot of rebranding going on.
Bowing to anger from right-wingers and conservative commentators, M&M’s decided to rebrand the decades-old multi-colored candies after outrage over its latest addition, purple, and its new “spokescandy,” also named “Purple.”
“Roughly a year ago, Mars Wrigley updated the look of its M&M’s characters, announcing an initiative to make the mascots fit a ‘more dynamic, progressive world.’ As part of these changes, the company introduced new designs of some of M&M’s characters and wrote weirdly elaborate backstories for others. Most notably, the company made the green M&M less ‘sexy’ by shortening her legs and replacing her high-heeled boots with sneakers,” Vox Media’s Polygon reported last week.
Fox News personality Tucker Carlson infamously has waged war on the “woke” spokescandies, declaring at one point, “M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous.”
Fast forward to now: Actress and comedian Maya Rudolph is their new spokesperson, although the “spokescandies,” perhaps after some additional rebranding, will be returning in a new ad on Super Bowl Sunday.
Which brings us to the rebranding of another icon: Jesus Christ.
He too will be part of the Super Bowl Sunday ads.

Over the next three years a $1 billion mostly-dark-money campaign – which reportedly will include funds from billionaire right wing anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ funder **David Green**, the founder of Hobby Lobby – will promote Jesus in ads, including during the Super Bowl on February 12. Those two Super Bowl ads to “to redeem Jesus’ brand” will cost $20 million, Religion News Service reports.
The campaign to promote Jesus includes $100 million in ads declaring “He Gets Us,” from “the Servant Foundation, an Overland Park, Kansas, nonprofit that does business as The Signatry,” RNS adds.
The “donors backing the campaign have until recently remained anonymous — in early 2022, organizers only told Religion News Service that funding came from ‘like-minded families who desire to see the Jesus of the Bible represented in today’s culture with the same relevance and impact He had 2000 years ago.'”
But the full list of donors remains unknown.
“Jason Vanderground, president of Haven, a branding firm based in Grand Haven, Michigan, that is working on the ‘He Gets Us’ campaign, confirmed that the Greens are one of the major funders, among a variety of donors and families who have gotten behind it.”
In a Washington Post interview last year, Vanderground “said Christians see their faith as the greatest love story, but those outside the faith see Christians as a hate group.”
But rather than try to convince self-identified followers of Christ to act as Jesus would want, right-wing interests are spending $1 billion to convince others of what Christianity is supposed to be about.
“Our research shows that many people’s only exposure to Jesus is through Christians who reflect him imperfectly, and too often in ways that create a distorted or incomplete picture of his radical compassion and love for others,” Vanderground told The Washington Post. “We believe it’s more important now than ever for the real, authentic Jesus to be represented in the public marketplace as he is in the Bible.”
Some are not impressed, and are more-or-less asking, “What would Jesus do?”
“They are latching on to this touchy-feely, conveniently vague, designer Jesus,” podcaster, author, and secular activist Seth Andrews told RNS. Andrews “poses the question of what Jesus would think of the amount of money spent on the ads. Would he prefer that the money be spent on ministering to people’s physical needs or making the world a better place?”
“Or would he say, no, go ahead and spend $100 million to tell everybody how great I am?”
On-air, CNN said, “at first blush, it can all read like a stand against radical right-wing politics and related divisiveness,” but adds that “some are calling this a ‘right-wing stunt for politics.'”
“‘He Gets Us’ is funded by anonymous donors acting through a Kansas non-profit linked to staunchly conservative causes,” CNN’s report (video below) notes, saying it “raises alarms for some skeptics.”

The eventual rejection of the proposed Super Bowl commercial resulted in “by far” the most successful marketing effort in the company’s history, Hunter said during the deposition. “Nothing’s even close,” he said.
The online commentator’s video fiercely criticizing the NFL went viral, and the story about the banned Super Bowl ad reached tens of millions of people after it was featured on Fox News’s signature programs, such as “The Sean Hannity Show” and “The Five,” Hunter recounted in the deposition.
Within Daniel Defense, the publicity generated by the rejected Super Bowl ad was seen as a marketing coup that the owners sought to replicate, according to Thomas Carlson, who led the manufacturer’s marketing and communications from 2015 to 2017 and reported to Cindy Daniel, co-owner with her husband and CEO Marty Daniel.
“Cindy was always trying to figure out that kind of thing - what kind of PR stunt can we do to get a little more notoriety,” he told The Post.
Another key element of the company’s marketing strategy, he added, was to use images of military and tactical units holding Daniel Defense rifles. The AR-style rifles closely resemble their military counterparts, though the military version allows the shooter to fire more than one round with each pull of the trigger.
In March, a report by the Climate Investigations Center tallied $1.4 billion worth of public relations, advertising, and communications contracts signed by energy and business trade associations from 2008 to 2017. One organization, the American Petroleum Institute (API), accounted for nearly half of that sum.
The Evolution of Fossil Fuel Messaging — and Climate Science Denial
Amid the investigations into their communications on climate change, many fossil fuel companies have been slowly re-tooling their messaging.
Some have acknowledged a need to transition away from fossil fuels — but at what critics respond would be a very slow pace.
Others have continued to push natural gas as a climate-friendly fossil fuel, despite the industry’s severe climate-changing methane problems. API,for example, hasplaced adsclaiming natural gas can “help meet the growing global demand for sustainable energy” under the Washington Post’s “branded content platform,” as The Intercept’s Sharon Lerner reported in April.
Other campaigns ditch mention of climate change and pollution all together, instead focusing on the benefits of products made from fossil fuels.
During the Super Bowl in 2017, the American Petroleum Institute released an ad campaign called Power Past Impossible, touting the many uses of oil and natural gas and highlighting how dependent modern life is on the byproducts of these fossil fuels.
“Oil majors are projecting themselves as key players in the energy transition while lobbying to delay, weaken, or oppose meaningful climate policy,” Edward Collins of the UK-based think tank InfluenceMap said in a March statement accompanying a report he authored on public relations campaigns by oil and gas giants. “They advocate gradual implementation of market-based and technological climate solutions, but the latest [United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report makes clear that urgent policy action and limitations on fossil fuel use are needed to avoid dangerous climate change.”
The shift doesn’t spell the end of climate science denial — DeSmog’s database of individuals and organizations that seek to cast doubt on climate science or oppose action to prevent some of the worst effects of warming the world includes roughly 225 organizations — and that list continues to grow....
