From Beacon of Speech, in 2023: Donald Trump Could Change Politics For the Next Century. "Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that I hated the Republican Party, hated it with every fiber of my very being. You know what I could do about it? Absolutely nothing. Could I physically destroy it through domestic terrorism? Nope. There is no physical structure to vanquish the core of the GOP that would cause the party to cease to exist. Could I write a devasting series of artic

This is going to be one of the shortest Beacon of Speech articles ever. When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, the world was aghast. One sovereign nation invading another sovereign nation was not only against the United Nations Charter, it was a clear violations of the Budapest Memorandum. From Harvard: "On December 5, 1994, leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation met in Budapest, Hungary, to pledge security assurances to Ukraine in

This article is written with anger and a gnashing of teeth. Landon Donovan, when he was 26 years, played 25 games for Major League Soccer. And that's it. Across his entire career, Donovan averaged 20-25 games a year in MLS. He played 22 total games in the Premier League and 16 in the Bundesliga, FOR HIS CAREER. The most games Donovan ever played in a calendar year for his career was 37 in the 2014 season. When Donovan retired at age 36, he had played 501 games as a profession

Before the World Cup started, we predicted the worst 2 teams in the tournament. 48th (Last): Haiti 47th: Qatar Now, believe it or not, we're not bullies at Beacon of Speech. We rooted for Haiti because their country is one step above anarchy and their soccer program doesn't have any resources. They exist through grit and the love of the game. Qatar, on the other hand, they are what's wrong with soccer. Now we still don't know who's going to win the 2026 World Cup, but we can

United States 4 - Paraguay 1 Almost a perfect game, any criticisms would be ticky-tacky. Entertaining, and attacking, style of soccer, just about from start to finish. United States 2 - Australia 0 Another impressive performance, another good win. You may not have needed Christian Pulisic today, but you're going to need him if you expect to advance to the quarterfinals, or dare I dream, the semifinals. Turkey 3 - Untied States 2 The United States mostly dictated play and had

This whole Taylor Swift Wedding-Thing has me utterly confused. At first, I was wondering why, at the beginning of the week, word was leaking out that Taylor Swift was getting married at Madison Square Garden. Either she was getting married there, or she wasn't. I mean, there had to be rental fees and permits and such. Around Wednesday, I think it was the NYPD, confirmed that they were asked to work an event at Madison Square Garden, but I don't believe they acknowledged it wa

Ever since 2017, Donald Trump has been accused of being a puppet of Russian Leader Vladimir Putin. What happened in 2017? Buzzfeed News reported on the Russian Dossier, a launching point document to see if Donald Trump enjoyed "Golden Showers" from Female, Russian Spies. Did we believe the allegations at Beacon of Speech? No. But the Mainstream Media WANTED to believe the allegations, though no actual facts were presented in the Dossier. For the next decade, the press specula

Christ has Died, Christ is Risen, Christ will Come Again. According to AI, "that is the core summary of Christianity." But all day today I was obsessed with the logistics of Jesus actually returning. .Question 1: How does Jesus get here? Say Jesus floats down from heaven, as soon as he gets a couple of hundred feet from the Earth, if he returns anywhere in the First World, people are already recording that on their cell phones. By the time his feet hit the ground, there's a

Back in the years 2017-2018 Julie K Brown of the Miami Herald "exposed Jeffrey Epstein’s systematic abuse of young women, the justice system that protected him, and, over time, his powerful network of associates and enablers." Where did I get that quote from? The Pulitzer Prizes. What year did she win that Pulitzer? In 2026, almost a decade after the story broke. Why did the agenda-pushing Pulitzers wait a decade to recognize Brown's excellence? Because it took almost 10 year

Back in 2019, Liberal writer Michael Tomasky wrote this 'amazing' piece (Joe Biden is) Roadkill If He Stays in the Middle Lane. Tomasky's angle? No "moderate" could win for the Democrats. If they wanted to win the 2020 Presidential Election, they had to nominate Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, those two candidates energized the base. Seven years later, the USA Today's Rex Huppke has nearly the identical message: No "moderate" can win for the Democrats 2028, they need to n

Cape Verde is easily the best success story of this World Cup. Standing toe-to-toe with favorites-to-win Spain to earn a 0-0 tie, then coming in second above favorites-to-advance Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, the tiny African Nation proved nearly all the prognosticators, and the bettors, wrong. Now we pick on Qatar all the time that they're not very good at soccer, but Cape Verde over neighboring Saudi Arabia in their Group was historically stunning. Saudi Arabia, for the last ge

Editor's Note: Working Title was Jamele Hill: Retard We are not fans of Jamele Hill here at Beacon of Speech, not one bit. We don't like her extreme-liberal based journalism, we don't like her core race-baiting philosophy. But as a free speech website, we begrudgingly gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was, at the very minimum, semi-educated, seeing that she now works at The Atlantic. But this might be the stupidest thing I've read on the internet since Covid started:

The year 2000 was 26 years ago. I mean, that's just basic math. Currently, my kids are only aware of music through Spotify, YouTube, or old CD's that are found in the basement. Terrestrial radio doesn't even exist for them, yet Rolling Stone, the print equivalent of radio, continues to angle itself as the arbiter of youth culture....which it clearly is not. In 2023, Rolling Stone came out with a Top 100 Metal Songs of All Time list. 88 of the 100 songs were from before the ye

I simply typed the word NEWS in the Google Search Bar: Hmm, that's very curious on a number of levels. Level I: I cut the cord. At our home, we have streaming options and a crappy antenna. I should buy a better antenna? This is our FIFTH crappy antenna, each one more expensive than the last, but works EXACTLY the same. The WVIZ Channel 25 feed come through.... most of the time. For local news options, we leave the stations set at WKYC Channel 3 or WEWS Channel 5. Not because

In Season Four, Episode Five of [adult swim]'s Rick and Morty, it was clearly stated that on June 21, 2026 there was going to be a Snake Apocalypse. The episode, titled Rattlestar Ricklactica and released on December 15, 2019, spoke of the day that 17 billion snake lives ended. Today is that day.

So, very long story short. We funded the Wuhan Lab. The yocals in China let a genetically engineered virus escape their lab. A lab with the same safety protocols as an average American Fast Food Restaurant. Of course there was no organic "wet market" origin in Wuhan, there would have been genetic markers. That also explains the silence of the official entities in China and America. In China, they were embarrassed that they were tools of the American Government. In America, th

That's it. That's the article. I reposted it with the source underneath. Arguably the best meme I've ever seen. While you're here, here's some songs about hell if you want to listen to 'em: Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson In Hell I'll Be in Good Company by The Dead South Robot Hell by the Futurama Boys Choir Nature Trail to Hell in 3D by Weird Al Yankovic Life in Hell by NoMeansNo Burn in Hell by Twisted Sister ..... .....

Iran won the war according to these news outlets: Center for American Progress Financial Times The Atlantic The Independent The Telegraph New York Times New York Post Racheal Maddow USA Today Wall Street Journal I don't think I need to go on, you get the gist. But, me, I'm a little more of a traditionalist. I want to see dead leaders laying in rubble. Did Donald Trump die? No, Iran was unable to clip the immobile, 80 year old Donald Trump, that slept in public view at the NBA

Chris Quinn, the editor over at cleveland.com, came out and reversed his position in regards to the comments section at his website. Too late, asshole. Oops, (supposedly) that's the reason he eliminated the comments section back in 2020. Now, because it's my website, I can slip up and curse every once in a while for effect, but Chris Quinn is fundamentally correct in this aspect: You should not be able to use anonymity to call people names on his website. Let's be clear

Earlier today, Oliver Tree died in a helicopter accident in Brazil. Tree was barely on my musical radar, but my kids loved him. If you've never heard of Oliver Tree, that's probably because you're over the age of 30. This was my favorite Oliver Tree video: I knew Tree was popular with the younger generation, but he really was a YouTube Sensation. 468 Million Views: Life Goes On 384 Million Views: Miss You 64 Million Views: Let Me Down 63 Million Views: Hurt 60 Million Views:

While scrolling through Facebook Reels, a post from Steve Holcomb caught my attention: 'In 1953 the "Rosenbergs" were executed for stealing American Nuclear Secrets and giving them to the "Russians." What's weird is that Russia already had the nuclear bomb - but Israel didn't - until soon after their espionage.' We posted the original historical photo, Steve Holcomb posted the photo with blue Star of Davids on the couples' forehead. Why is shit like this coming up on my feed?

Today, Elon Musk "officially" became a trillionaire. ABC's (How To Be A) Millionaire Video under the Screen Shot Every news story that came out to report on Musk's space agency going public had him with that same dumb smirk on the cover. I wanted to smack that look right off of his face. I couldn't even bear to put his dopey mug in this article. I started writing paragraph after paragraph, but ended up deleting them all. Everything I kept typing was a regurgitation of our art

From AI: The Avon High School Eagles won their second consecutive Division II State Football Championship, defeating Cincinnati Anderson 37-20 in December 2025. Quarterback Blake Elder tied an OHSAA Division II state title game record by throwing four touchdown passes in the first half.

This past weekend, we were supporting our local drive-in and watched the He-Man / Scary Movie 6 Double Feature: He-Man Review: For what it was, it was good, I had the bar set low. The Prince Adam on Earth angle was original. The rest of the movie, sadly, was not. Grade C+. Scary Movie 6 Review: For what it was, it was good. It made me laugh a few times and it had some nice call backs. Grade B-. You should never walk out of a movie and say "well, that was fine." Again neither
