My new @Townhallcom column it’s pretty harsh. That’s because the scammers and scammer enablers deserve it.
“Fake Professor Jason Arday was found dead in the wake of being exposed as a complete fraud, and if it were my choice, he would still be alive and suffering the humiliation that should be the result of his crimes. I would prefer that he did not likely choose to kill himself instead of facing the consequences of his actions. My preference is irrelevant. If he decided to do himself in, it’s crushing for his wife and kids, and that was a selfish, cruel, and stupid decision. But it was his decision, as was his decision to commit fraud upon fraud. I don’t celebrate his death, and his death changes nothing. We’re not going to stop rooting out the charlatans.”

My new @townhallcom column points out that we’re not going to play the woke game anymore, no matter how hard they cry. In fact, it’s funnier when they cry.
“Woke 1 died out in the early 2020s when people got sick of the nags, scolds, and harpies trying to pester their way into power. But now these weirdos, losers, and mutations are back, trying to make "Woke 2: Wine Woman Boogaloo" happen. But it’s not going quite the way they want. It’s not happening quite the way they envisioned. Yeah, they’re whining and complaining like the shrill shrews they are, but people have finally figured out how best to deal with these yakking malcontents. You either mock them or ignore them, and when you do, they’ve got nothing.”
Woke 2 Is Here, and It’s Failing Hilariously https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/10/19/woke-2-is-here-and-its-failing-hilariously-n2684858
My new @townhallcom column isn’t gobbling the black pill…
“What goes for drug dealers also goes for political addicts and pundits — don’t get high on your own supply. We want to believe what we want to hear. Confirmation bias is a real thing. It’s out there, waiting to suck you in and turn you out. That’s why I try to be rigorously objective. I try to look at the facts. I’m by nature an optimist, or rather, I’m always looking for an edge, a way, a means to counterattack and seize the initiative, and I always assume it’s there. But of course, Patton's flipside is Pollyanna. Sometimes you’re trying to save the Kobayashi Maru whether you’ll like it or not, and you’re never going to be Captain Kirk. But let me tell you, here’s what my gut is telling me — the Democrats have peaked.”
Did the Democrats Peak Too Soon? https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/10/15/did-the-democrats-peak-too-soon-n2684625
My new @townhallcom VIP column demonstrates that everything from Hollywood doesn’t suck, just a lot of it…
“Is Hollywood suddenly getting based? Well, probably not, at least in the macro. Hollywood is still stuck in a morass of politically correct failure thanks to the cadre of unmarriageable females, militant minorities, and gender-weird diversity hires left over from Woke I who dominate the scene. That the industry is drowning is no surprise. At one time, Tinseltown was focused solely on making money, and the way you made money was to make things the audience enjoyed. Now, for the most part, we are condemned to endure the personal psychodramas and fetishes of a bunch of people trying to work out their daddy issues on our screens. No thanks. But there’s an exception to every rule, and he’s making hundreds of millions of dollars, proving that there is a market for entertainment that doesn’t hate its patriotic, normal audience.”
