Billionaire Ike Perlmutter, the former Marvel Chairman who was ousted by Disney, remains a pernicious influence within the conservative movement, using his wealth to curry favor with MAGA while waiting with baited breath for the opportunity to stab the movement in the back. Perlmutter revealed himself as a true enemy of MAGA by being an architect of President Donald Trump’s betrayal in 2024, as he was a top oligarch who backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ treacherous run for President. Several billionaire donors were outspoken in their preference of DeSantis over Trump, but others were more careful in hiding their complicity in the Trump betrayal. A careful analysis of campaign finance records shows how money was quietly funneled from billionaire Ike…

President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are facing mounting criticism for creating a window for Russia to sell oil and gas to the global market via “narrowly tailored, short-term” sanction relief. However, few people are putting the issue into context, and the background here is exceptionally interesting.

Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs is leading a bipartisan push to rein in the federal government’s sweeping surveillance powers, introducing legislation aimed at restoring long-neglected Fourth Amendment protections.
