He made the comments on a recent episode of The Greatness Conversation.

“You had one uppercut to the face after another here for Gen Z where, first, it’s the Me Too movement, males are told to take it down a notch, toxic masculinity,” Rice said on a recent episode of The Greatness Conversation. “You might be a predator, you might be a rapist. And then, and then all of a sudden, George Floyd dies. You’re now a racist. All of your history stinks.”

“And then when that’s all over, they’re going to drop on you that there are 72 genders and Gary and Tim and Bill are coming into the women’s locker room and the girl’s bathroom,” Rice said. “So, you know, if you wonder why Gen Z has a hard time being authentically human.”

Rice joined the podcast to discuss his new book, “The White Privilege Album,” the use of comedy to talk about progressive “wokeness,” and the future of what society looks like for younger generations. […]

Texas AG Ken Paxton Launches Investigation Into Nonprofits Accused of Registering Noncitizens to Vote Outside DMVs https://americanconservativemovement.com/texas-ag-ken-paxton-launches-investigation-into-nonprofits-accused-of-registering-noncitizens-to-vote-outside-dmvs/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/texas-ag-ken-paxton-launches-investigation-into-nonprofits-accused-of-registering-noncitizens-to-vote-outside-dmvs/#respond Fri, 23 Aug 2024 10:10:09 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/texas-ag-ken-paxton-launches-investigation-into-nonprofits-accused-of-registering-noncitizens-to-vote-outside-dmvs/ Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday that he is launching an official investigation into Democrat-linked nonprofit organizations in Texas that are allegedly registering non-citizens to vote.

As American Greatness reported on Monday, rumors that Democrats had set up tables outside of several Department of Motor vehicles (DMV) offices to register noncitizens to vote in the Fort Worth area, prompted several Republican officials in Texas, including Paxton, to issue statements saying they would look into it.

On Sunday, a source told Fox Business host Maria Bartiramo that his wife had been to three DMVs in Ft. Worth and Weatherford, Texas, and witnessed long lines of noncitizens waiting to get drivers licenses and registering to vote at tables set up outside.

The source said the DMV in Weatherford had “a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote!” […]

Vote for School Choice on Election Day https://americanconservativemovement.com/vote-for-school-choice-on-election-day/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/vote-for-school-choice-on-election-day/#respond Fri, 23 Aug 2024 08:03:00 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/vote-for-school-choice-on-election-day/ As I noted in 2022 and 2023, school choice, where applicable, should be a campaign issue. With untold numbers of national, state, and local candidates on the ballot in November, voting for parental freedom is a winner. While this cause is usually associated with Republicans, Democrats who are not beholden to the teachers’ unions should also get on board.

Keri Ingraham, a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, highlights numerous success stories of pro-school choice legislators. In March, Texas saw six representatives ousted who voted against parental freedom. The Texas runoff election a few months later found three more representatives opposed to school choice voted out of office.

In Kentucky’s primary election in May, the two Republican representatives who received the most money from the teachers’ unions lost by 44 and 48 points each.

In Tennessee, after a bill to expand a school voucher program failed, Gov. Bill Lee went to work endorsing candidates who favored expanding school choice. His effort was successful, as 12 out of the 15 candidates he endorsed were victorious in the state’s primary election on August 1.

In Missouri, voters chose six pro-school choice candidates in their August 6 primary election, a clear sign of the strategy’s effectiveness.

Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, adds that three Republicans in the Idaho House who had the most support from the teachers’ unions lost in the primary election, while their opponents all supported school choice. […]

Media’s Lies About Biden’s ‘Mental Fitness’ Finally Caught up to Them https://americanconservativemovement.com/medias-lies-about-bidens-mental-fitness-finally-caught-up-to-them/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/medias-lies-about-bidens-mental-fitness-finally-caught-up-to-them/#respond Sun, 30 Jun 2024 14:31:01 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/medias-lies-about-bidens-mental-fitness-finally-caught-up-to-them/ For three and a half years, Joe Biden’s handlers have kept him locked deep inside the confines of the White House or at Rehoboth Beach—far away from “we the people.” This is deliberate.

For three and a half years, Joe Biden’s handlers have hidden him from public view and kept him locked deep inside the confines of the White House or at Rehoboth Beach—far away from “we the people.”

For three and a half years, Biden has barely averaged more than a 30-hour work week and has almost never said anything without the assistance of a teleprompter or a notecard. When he does speak, he gives terse remarks that rarely last more than 15 minutes and are almost never in prime time, meaning his audience is negligible.

This is deliberate. […]

Mark Cuban Epitomizes the Hypocrisy of Liberal Billionaires https://americanconservativemovement.com/mark-cuban-epitomizes-the-hypocrisy-of-liberal-billionaires/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/mark-cuban-epitomizes-the-hypocrisy-of-liberal-billionaires/#respond Sat, 29 Jun 2024 11:39:38 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/mark-cuban-epitomizes-the-hypocrisy-of-liberal-billionaires/ The always media-hungry Mark Cuban wants to insert himself into presidential politics. The billionaire TV show host is now pushing himself as one of President Biden’s top cheerleaders. He’s fundraising for Biden and Democrat groups are utilizing his media appearances to gin up donations.

He’s volunteered to be an attack dog for Biden. He regularly uses his X account to attack Donald Trump and claim Biden will do wonders for the country if given another term. Cuban even asserts that he would vote for Biden even if the president was on his deathbed and Trump was the only other option. That’s dedication to the cause.

Cuban isn’t cozying up to Biden simply out of some deep political conviction. He may claim that the president is morally superior to his opponent or that he prefers Biden’s social policies. But the real motivation is something far more shallow. Cuban sees Biden and the Democrats as better for his business interests. […]

Pride Month Goeth Before the Fall https://americanconservativemovement.com/pride-month-goeth-before-the-fall/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/pride-month-goeth-before-the-fall/#respond Sat, 22 Jun 2024 12:17:18 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/pride-month-goeth-before-the-fall/ It’s June. Happy Holidays.

The other 120 or so odd days—and I do mean odd—designated to see and hear the many flowers that have blossomed in the West’s man-made LGBTQIA2S++++++++++++++ garden are important…or with trans ascendancy is it more proper to call it the TLGBTQIA2S+++ garden? I’m old enough to remember when it was the more modest GLSEN. That was when I was a GDI looking to graduate from NU ASAP to start paying down my IOUs.

Anyway, as I was saying, the calendar is chock-full of days we honor those for their heroism in the fields of carnal relations and cosplay, but June is special. […]

Wake Up, Republicans, the Dark Is Rising https://americanconservativemovement.com/wake-up-republicans-the-dark-is-rising/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/wake-up-republicans-the-dark-is-rising/#respond Thu, 20 Jun 2024 23:43:12 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/wake-up-republicans-the-dark-is-rising/ How do you tell when you’re entering a Dark Age?

It has become increasingly clear that President Biden will not be the Democrat nominee for president. The Republican Party and Donald Trump need to adjust their strategy now to prepare for a race against a different Democrat candidate.Republicans have for many months pointed, with glee, to the increasingly obvious debilities of Biden. He stumbles. He falls while climbing the stairs to Air Force One. He wanders off as if in a dream. He slurs his words. He mumbles. He whispers. He has (how to put this delicately?) plumbing accidents. He looks frail. He is frail. Age does that—not to everyone; some people die full of life. […]

Is Racism and Resentment Fueling the Caitlin Clark, Team USA Controversy? https://americanconservativemovement.com/is-racism-and-resentment-fueling-the-caitlin-clark-team-usa-controversy/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/is-racism-and-resentment-fueling-the-caitlin-clark-team-usa-controversy/#respond Wed, 19 Jun 2024 22:39:49 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/is-racism-and-resentment-fueling-the-caitlin-clark-team-usa-controversy/ Once or twice in a generation, an athlete comes along who dominates and often redefines their sport. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was Muhammad Ali. In the 1980s, it was Martina Navratilova. In the 1990s, it was Michael Jordan. In the 2000s, it was Tom Brady and Michael Phelps. In the 2010s, it was Serena Williams. Clark now joins this roster as a generational talent.

Since the beginning of June, you can’t turn on any broadcast or online sports channel and not hear the name Caitlin Clark. Her presence dominates the airwaves and coverage has crossed over to the mainstream with non-sports media and even late-night comedy shows like Saturday Night Live featuring Clark. This is especially true in the wake of the decision by the USA Basketball selection committee to exclude her from the team going to the Olympics in Paris next month.

At this point, I think that […]

Does Democracy Really Die in Darkness? https://americanconservativemovement.com/does-democracy-really-die-in-darkness/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/does-democracy-really-die-in-darkness/#respond Sat, 15 Jun 2024 10:17:44 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/does-democracy-really-die-in-darkness/ To answer that question—not likely.

On May 31, 2024, Charlotte Tobitt, writing for UK media site The Post Gazette in the feature Marty Baron: Why WaPo fell behind NYT and why we can’t be Trump ‘combatants’ , former editor Marty Baron, explained The Washington Post’s (WaPo) current failure. The measurement of said failure? In the last year, it lost $77 million, and its newsroom is in a DEI revolt.

The 1,347 words penned by Tobitt are nothing more than delusional copium coming from Marty Baron. What happened at the WaPo is what happens when readers lose trust in their institutions, especially the government or the press. The WaPo didn’t realize back in 2020 that Donald Trump was probably the best thing that had happened to the paper in decades, maybe going back to its halcyon days of Woodward and Bernstein during Watergate .

After vilifying the Orange Man from the moment […]

The Foreign Policy of Trump’s Second Term – America First Means a Stable World https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-foreign-policy-of-trumps-second-term-america-first-means-a-stable-world/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-foreign-policy-of-trumps-second-term-america-first-means-a-stable-world/#respond Mon, 03 Jun 2024 01:27:40 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/target/the-foreign-policy-of-trumps-second-term-america-first-means-a-stable-world/ The second Trump administration will have to sound the ship and repair the damage that the Biden administration did to U.S. alliances and national security interests.

Recently, Foreign Affairs published Hal Brands’ “An “America First” World: What Trump’s Return Might Mean for Global Order.” In the essay, Prof. Brands hypothesizes that a Trump presidency, led by an “America First” foreign policy, would be based on the outlook that the United States has “no obligation to pursue anything larger than its own self-interest, narrowly construed,” and that this “would be an epic departure from 80 years of American strategy.” Brands also falsely asserts that an “America First” world could be fatal for Ukraine and other states vulnerable to autocratic aggression. It would release the disorder that U.S. hegemony has long contained.

To the contrary, the reality of what transpired during President Trump’s four years in office compared to what the […]
