The Onion’s Ben Collins Is Still Trying to Get His Hands on Infowars

The Onion’s Ben Collins Is Still Trying to Get His Hands on Infowars

Nevertheless, Collins and The Onion continued their fight. Most recently, they attempted to enter a leasing situation with the far-right media company, where, for $81,000 a month, they would license the infowars.com domain and brand name, as well as any associated intellectual property. After six months, they would have the option to renew the deal. But unfortunately for The Onion, the Texas court system has once again prevented that plan from coming to fruition. If and when they do finally get their hands on Infowars, The Onion won’t waste any time revamping it. “We intend on flipping it over right away,” said Collins. “We got a bunch of bullshit ready to go. It’s really stupid. Everything that we have planned is very, very dumb. So I hope people get excited for that.” Days before the ruling, Collins’s excitement was palpable. “Frankly, the newspaper is doing so well that we need to give them more space to show that off,” he said. “Not every media merger and acquisition has to be the worst news you’ve ever …

BBC bosses ‘to interview Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly replacements’

BBC bosses reportedly plan to hold Strictly Come Dancing presenter auditions this week. Nine stars are in contention for the Strictly jobs, after Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly quit the hit TV series in 2025. A source told The Sun newspaper: “It’s not just about reading autocue. They’ll be looking at how people work together and humour is a massive part of it.

However, BBC bosses are said to be approaching the auditions with an open mind. The insider shared: “They really want to bring the fun this year. It’s all about chemistry and who clicks instantly and can keep the energy up live on air. “They could stick with two female hosts as that’s worked brilliantly. But they’re also open to mixing it up. “If Rylan and Tom Allen click, that could be a hilarious pairing. Equally, they could even introduce a third presenter to shake things …

MAGA Divide Deepens on Iran as Trump Blasts His Onetime Allies

MAGA Divide Deepens on Iran as Trump Blasts His Onetime Allies

Reactions are rolling in to President Donald Trump’s lengthy Truth Social post on Thursday, in which he eviscerated several members of the online MAGA-sphere — again roasting Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, while going after Candace Owens in an even-for-him personal manner and mocking Alex Jones — all of who have recently emerged as voices of opposition to the war in Iran. Trump’s latest missive follows an Iran-focused war of words with Carlson, the former CNN and Fox News host who now commands a large audience on his namesake daily video podcast. Clocking in at 482 words, the president’s post scorches four of the biggest names in the MAGA-aligned online commentary space. Carlson, after taking repeated hits from the president in the past week, was dubbed a “hand flairrlring Fool”; Kelly was again chastised for a decade-old debate question about Trump’s criticism of women. Rising star Owens was mocked for her conspiracy theory that French first lady Brigitte Macron was born a man — with Trump adding that Owens is less attractive — while Jones …
