18 Righties You Should Follow on Twitter 18 Righties You Should Follow on Twitter This is by no means the first website to produce a list of must-follow conservatives on Twitter. A handful of right-wing sites have done so over the years, and even left-leaning publications like Paste Magazine and Salon have lately joined in the fun (mostly focusing on conservative Trump skeptics). But since the political twitterverse is a vast place, where there are indeed a good number of insightful and entertaining righties worth checking in on daily, I figured that another such list isn’t going to hurt anyone. To make this one a bit different, however, I’m going to leave out some of the conservative social-media juggernauts like Ben Shapiro and Jonah Goldberg, who everyone already follows and knows are great. In fact, I’m not going to include anyone who has more than 150k followers. Instead, along with some familiar figures in the media, I’m going to include individuals whose names you may not have heard of until now. Here we go (in no particular order): 1. Guy Benson A Fox News contributor and political editor atTownhall , Benson has long been known for his thoughtful and intellectually-consistent commentary. His Twitter feed is an extension of that insight: PSA: Someone is not a “snowflake” because they don’t share your views. *You* are a snowflake if you cannot handle views you don’t share. — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) August 15, 2017 Benson is a principled voice and strong critic of uninformed and reckless political activism, as exhibited recently by Jimmy Kimmel: “I am to be taken seriously until I say so.” https://t.co/OCT7pvXVKx — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) October 14, 2017 2. Michael Freeman Freeman is a conservative speechwriter, so you’d think he’d have some trouble fitting clever insight into 140 characters or less. Fortunately, that hasn’t been the case. His sharp wit generates a chuckle from me at least a couple times a day. I’ll combine it with my $2,500 Obamacare savings and buy a unicorn with my 6,500 mythical dollars. https://t.co/MoWuAetKoq — Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) October 24, 2017 There’s a better chance of him bringing that groundhog back to life. https://t.co/GaSlEGiZrq — Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) October 20, 2017 3. Terry Schappert Schappert is a Fox News regular, the host of the reality show Hollywood Weapons, and one heck of a nice guy. A U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, Schappert is a warrior and a diplomat who has been known to use his Twitter feed to try and bridge the gap between the conservative movement and the Trump base. Additionally, he often provides a unique perspective on battles fought in the culture war: My anger and hurt feelings when you burn the flag we’ve fought ( and died) for matter less than your freedom to do it. But you still suck. — terry schappert (@terryschappert) December 2, 2016 4. Jon Gabriel Gabriel, Ricochet.com’s Editor-in-chief, is kind of a Twitter legend, so there’s a pretty good chance you’re already following him. But in case you’re not, here are some samples of the brilliance: Wanted more hits on my latest article. Should have headlined it KNEELING NFL TRAITORS IN DRAG MOCK DEAD VETERAN HEROES — jon gabriel (@exjon) October 20, 2017 Lou Dobbs has uttered what may be the most preposterous statement in modern American history. https://t.co/wygwvh3y1h — jon gabriel (@exjon) October 14, 2017 Sharpton’s boycotting ESPN for suspending Jemele Hill who is boycotting ESPN ads because Jerry Jones is boycotting players who are boycotting the national anthem. https://t.co/87kkQgNMhx — jon gabriel (@exjon) October 9, 2017 Warning: Gabriel regularly shares his taste in music with his followers…and that taste is kind of weird. 5. Bethany S. Mandel I’m embarrassed to say that I wasn’t familiar with Bethany Mandel until she generated (not by design) a fair amount of social-media attention by giving birth to her third child in a car on her way to the hospital . When I say @SethAMandel delivered our baby, I’m being totally serious. He did the whole thing blind, while giving coordinates to nervous 911 — Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) April 28, 2017 Married to Seth Mandel of the New York Post, Bethany is a principled and provocative writer who isn’t afraid to tackle culturally-complicated topics. She’s also kind of hilarious on social media: How many months does Trump have to be in office before the RNC stops sending me emails about Hillary Clinton? — Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) October 17, 2017 Older two kids got three shots between them and now we’re talking about how our chinchilla and my mom died because they got sick pic.twitter.com/1TKHXbVVyx — Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) October 17, 2017 Watching Manhunt and considering buying a cabin on Amazon because I can’t even go off the grid without the web. https://t.co/4TuXtliuru — Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) October 16, 2017 6. Angela Nelson Nelson occasionally composes diary-style columns for RedState, and is very active on Twitter, where she not only produces conscientious commentary, but also retweets some of the more interesting social-media content from the political Right. We are a nation of spoiled children who have NO IDEA what actual hardship is. But with this attitude on the rise, I’m afraid we will learn. https://t.co/mieyt89obJ — Angela (one of many) (@angelaisms) October 19, 2017 7. T. Becket Adams A commentator for the Washington Examiner, Adams is a must- follow on Twitter for his sharp, timely takes on the news of the day. He calls out political tribalism and double-standards whenever he sees them, and he does so with style. Ppl flaming Kelly for going to bat for Trump are guilty of what they criticized Trump for doing to Khan, who was also a political operative. pic.twitter.com/X792vLzZgA — T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) October 19, 2017 is there a reason why these NRA ads sound like excerpts from sarah connor’s diary? — T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) October 20, 2017 8. Kimberly Corban Corban is a rape survivor and Second Amendment advocate who uses her horrific experience to educate audiences across the country on sexual assault, the lasting impact it has on survivors, and self-protection. As an advocate and mentor for young women, Corban’s insight on Twitter has been particularly prudent to recent high-profile news stories involving sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. #MeToo isn’t just about rape. It’s all kinds of abuse, including harassment. One experience does not negate another. They’re all important. — Kimberly Corban (@Kimberly_Corban) October 16, 2017 She also happens to be uproariously funny: “Dear Customer Service, First of all, you should know I’m typing this with my middle finger.” — Kimberly Corban (@Kimberly_Corban) January 26, 2017 Kimberly hates three things: 1) When people talk about themselves in the third person 2) Contradictions 3) Lists — Kimberly Corban (@Kimberly_Corban) September 25, 2017 Beyond all that, she’s a tremendous free-throw shooter. 9. Jay Caruso Caruso writes for the Dallas Morning News and RedState, among other publications. He also co-hosts the entertaining Fifth Estate podcast with Neal Dewing. A conservative and staunch Trump critic, Caruso has little patience for media-sycophants who’ve traded in their ideological principles and sense of decency for ratings and website-clicks. Re-upping. The right wanted a version of Jon Stewart & The Daily Show. They got it w Tucker. Not a good thing. https://t.co/z4kxIcsntQ — Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) October 15, 2017 Whatever Trump is paying John Kelly he should get a waiver to triple his salary. — Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) October 19, 2017 10. Christian Toto For those worn out on the exhaustively-preached left-wing orthodoxy of the entertainment industry, Christian Toto hears you. He’s a Denver-based entertainment reporter and commentator who examines the industry from a unique right-of- center perspective via his website, Hollywood in Toto. The content is always interesting, as are his Twitter takes. Folks behind #onlythebrave movie should have reached out to conservative media for an extra push — heartland values front and center pic.twitter.com/18gAJg5v4y — Christian Toto (@HollywoodInToto) October 22, 2017 Outlets reporting Chelsea Handler’s show ending as ‘her decision’ w/o skepticism is why we don’t trust Hollywood reporters, either pic.twitter.com/FheLN4QpuX — Christian Toto (@HollywoodInToto) October 19, 2017 11. Allen Ginzburg Ginzburg has written for multiple conservative websites, but most of his commentary these days can be found on Twitter. He’s a sane voice in insane times, who calls out both sides of the political aisle. Where are all the liberals who were outraged by Trump’s attacks on Khan to call out people like @JoyAnnReid for their ugly attacks on Kelly? — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) October 20, 2017 GWB was one of the most decent men to serve as POTUS. I objected to left smearing him 4 years. Certainly won’t let Trump cultists do it now. — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) October 20, 2017 12. J.R. Salzman A veteran and wounded warrior of the Iraq war, Salzman is insightful and strongly spoken on issues relating to the military, foreign policy, and Veterans Affairs. This shrapnel is from my amputated arm & came from the Iranian IED that almost killed me. Should I mail it back now? pic.twitter.com/tT80mdd8HI — J.R. Salzman (@jrsalzman) July 15, 2015 Plus, he’s always posting awesome stuff like this (which alone is worth a follow): I have a prosthetic arm chainsaw debarker attachment.

  • Confederate Monuments After Charlottesville
    History and Heritage, Memory and Memorialization: Confederate Monuments After Charlottesville What follows is not a single article or excerpt from a book. It is not even officially a “scholarly” text. However this collection of articles, interviews, and statements made by historians in the wake of the events in Charlottesville, VA give important insight into the work of historians and the relationship we navigate between past and present. When reading these, you’ll discover the opinions in the collection are conflicting, I have done this intentionally because the debate over these monuments and the history they represent is just that, a debate, and you should hear a variety of perspectives before you determine your own. Consider as you read the question at hand in this moment: whether Confederate monuments and symbols should remain, be reinterpreted, or be removed. But also reflect upon the larger questions about how we understand history and heritage, what it means to have historical memory, and whether memory is different from memorialization. Gregory S. Bucher, “Quis Furor, O Cives? A Plea for Preserving Historical Monuments” National Review (August 2017) Gregory S. Bucher was formerly a professor of classical and Near Eastern studies at Creighton University. We should learn from the ancient Romans, who had ample experience with civil war. Some years ago, before we as a nation started punching ourselves in the face by moving to excise Confederate monuments from our public spaces and thereby destroy a part of our cultural patrimony, I studied a marble Roman portrait of the first emperor, Augustus, in the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha.

They depend on you. Magen David Adom (MDA) is Israel’s official ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief agency, serving the nation’s 9 million people. But like every other Red Cross agency around the world, MDA doesn’t receive regular government support. That’s why it relies on people like you. Since the 1930s, generous Americans like you have provided the vehicles, training, and equipment that’s kept Israelis healthy and strong. There are many ways to support Israel, but none that has a greater effect on its people and its future than a gift to Magen David Adom. Your support isn’t just changing lives — it’s literally saving them. Help save lives in Israel. Support Magen David Adom at afmda.org/donate.

  • What's the Point of Conservative Commentary?
    What’s the Point of Conservative Commentary? A few weeks ago, I was perusing my Twitter timeline when I came across a tweet that gave me some pause and a nugget to chew on. It was posted by a gentleman some of you may be familiar with: Terry Schappert. Terry is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran who appears on Fox News from time to time. He also hosts a very entertaining show on the Outdoor Channel calledHollywood Weapons. I’m a longtime fan of Terry. I enjoy his insight and good- natured wit, and I very much appreciate his many years of honorable service to our nation. I also consider him a friend, though we’ve never met in person. We know some of the same people, share similar critical views of liberalism, and at some point we became acquainted on social media. He was also kind enough to provide me with a blurb for one of my novels, which I was very thankful and honored to receive. So when Terry weighs in with a serious point on an issue, I tend to give it some thought. And last month, he tossed this one out: I respect and appreciate the work of many conservative writers and pundits, and if your goal was to make money and write for other conservatives, you succeeded. If your goal was to stem the tide of encroaching leftism in America, you failed miserably. Now what? — terry schappert (@terryschappert) March 15, 2019 As a conservative writer myself (though for me it’s not so much a profession as it is an interest), the statement certainly caught my attention.
