Coming next week, my fascinating conversation with conservative Christian thinker Neil Shenvi about the "spiritual threat" of Christian nationalism. (Subscribe to www.HateComesToMainStreet.com to get notified as soon as the video is posted.)
“Russia, if you’re listening….”
This argument is utter bullshit -- Mamdani came to America with his family at the age of seven -- but it's especially rich coming from this older, somehow even dumber clone of Benny Johnson because that's Andy Ogles, a congressman who has endlessly lied about his own past.
One identified, one to go. His first name is likely Austin, from the Knoxville area. Please send to your Knox County friends.
Can anyone from the Knoxville area help me identify these two individuals, possibly with Knox County Young Republicans? DMs should be open. Email: phil dot williams at newschannel5 dot com.
“At its most extreme, remigration is really about ethnically cleansing countries of black and brown people,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. “This is more extreme than anything any anti-immigrant movement has ever proposed before.”
Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles lands on the @endcitizensunited.bsky.social “2026 Most Corrupt Politicians List.”

Editor @cmychalejko.bsky.social interviewed @philinvestigates.com for #LocalNewsDay about the importance of local media and investigating & reporting about hate groups and political extremists when they're looking to seize power and grow their influence in your community. @localnewsday.bsky.social
Some on the far right have moved far beyond just wanting to deport people who are in the country illegally. Here's a clip from my incredible interview with @heidibeirich.bsky.social, co-founder of @globalextremism.bsky.social. 1/2
How Local Journalism & Pro-Democracy Reporting Can Protect Main Street from Hate & Political Extremism, w/ @philinvestigates.com | "I'd hate to see what our communities look like w/out local news," said Williams, whose own reporting helped keep a candidate w/ neo-Nazi ties from being elected mayor.
"I subscribe to local news across the country, especially if I see they’re doing good work, and I want to just do my little part to support them. So for your audience, I think that’s the thing you can do. You can subscribe and support local news that you believe in," said @philinvestigates.com.
Isker and C.Jay Engel were reacting to my post about another podcast they released Tuesday. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/whose-coun...
In a podcast where he objects to comparisons of his ideas to KKK, Jackson County Christian nationalist pastor/podcaster Andrew Isker calls for deporting GOP Rep. Maria Salazar and Vivek Ramaswamy in terms you have to hear for yourself. 1/
I disagree. They have an audience that tells them they are brilliant, so they will continue putting out such material. Sunlight is an incredible disinfectant.

Listen closely to what far-right figures are now saying about immigration, and you will find few differences from the xenophobic debates of the 1920s. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/in-far-rig...
Phil, a TV news reporter in Nashville, TN, covers the eerie similarity between what today's conservative leaders espouse and the hate spewed 100 years ago on the streets of America. Great comparison!

This comes two days after Hegseth overruled U.S. Army command to re-instate two Apache flight crews involved in aerial antics in the Nashville area.
Trump’s big announcement: We are still at war. Nothing has changed. Thanks for your attention. (Am I getting the message right?)
Trump uses the phrase "like no one has ever seen before" like no one has ever seen before
