The conservative media outlet Newsmax has used hyperpartisan content to build an audience of right-wing seniors and bilked them through an array of scams and dubious products for more than a decade.
Christopher Ruddy, a right-wing journalist who cut his teeth generating conspiracy theories about the Clintons during the 1990s and a friend of former President Donald Trump, founded Newsmax in 1998. The company recently gained notoriety for its cable news channel, Newsmax TV, which relentlessly lied to viewers about Democrats supposedly stealing the 2020 presidential election in order to position itself as an even more pro-Trump alternative to Fox News.
Newsmax TV reportedly loses money, in part because it is required to pay hefty fees to cable companies to get them to carry the station. But the attention its programming generates helps build Newsmax’s brand among conservatives who might support the company’s other endeavors.
QUESTION: âWho will loads of Republicans support for president in 2024?â
I know this because ⦠I am Carnac the Magnificent!
Also because Republicans have latched onto a black candidate for president every four years, pretty much throughout my entire adult life.
Iâm one of those Republicans, having enthusiastically supported Alan Keyes in at least one of his three presidential runs, Herman Cain in 2012 (9-9-9!) and Ben Carson, as my backup to Trump, in 2016.
Other black Republicans who were â in the words of Michael Kinsley â âdrooled overâ by the GOP include Colin Powell (the Weekly Standardâs choice for the 1996 contest), Condoleezza Rice (supported by Dick Morris and Rush Limbaugh as our 2008 nominee), and Allen West (Glenn Beckâs choice in 2012).

Joe Biden s Plan Not About Infrastructure but Big Government Control
Joe Biden’ Infrastructure Plan is not about Infrastructure but about a radical transformation of the entire American economy. This is what the world’s elites like to call “The Great Reset.”
Joe Biden campaigned and was elected as a good ole moderate Democrat. He pledged repeatedly to work across party lines and reach a consensus on issues that all Americans regardless of party affiliation, can agree upon. He has governed however, just the opposite. As Professor emeritus of political science at the University of Chicago Charles Lipson wrote “Biden’s deception is based on the oldest marketing technique in the book: bait and switch.” Promise one thing deliver another.

Conservatism Inc. has already transformed from movement to business and finally to racket. However, like some kind of twisted political Pokémon, it s now evolving into a little known fourth stage: a joke. And one joke in particular “What do you call a black person at a conservative conference?” The obvious answer – “the keynote speaker.”
The next Great Black Hope of the conservative movement: Dr. Ben Carson, who recently spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. These events are generally the stage for well-meaning banality, but Dr. Carson broke the nonpartisan tradition to condemn Barack Obama s political agenda even as the President sat only a few feet away.
