OPINION: Candace Owens Turned Cash Cow: The Real Story of Candace Owens.

The Ungrateful Grifter 

Oh, Candace Owens bless her heart, or whatever’s left of it after all that grifting. She struts around like she personally invented conservatism, dropping hot takes on Black America as if she’s Moses with a Fox News chyron. But let’s peel back the layers. Scratch that glossy veneer and what do you find? The same low-class, Stamford-projects hustle she was born into. 

You can put her in designer suits and parade her across PragerU stages, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the girl. The opportunism, the flip-flopping, the desperate clawing for relevance, it’s all straight out of survival mode, the kind you learn when you know one wrong move sends you right back to the bottom.

Born Candace Amber Owens in 1989, raised by mostly her mother and grandparents in working-class Stamford, Connecticut, think racial tension, rundown apartments, and that 2007 high-school hate-crime lawsuit over racist voicemails from white classmates. She dropped out of the University of Rhode Island drowning in loans, bounced through Vogue internships (read: coffee runs), private-equity cubicles, and a string of flops like Degree180, a blog where she once called Republicans “bat-shit crazy” and plotted to dox conservative “bullies.” Peak 2016 liberal energy, right down to the anti-Trump penis jokes. Then came Social Autopsy in 2017, her big “woke” doxxing site that imploded, got her family threatened, and supposedly “red-pilled” her overnight. Classic ghetto pivot: when one hustle dies, flip the script and blame the left for everything.
And that’s exactly when the real hero of this story rides in. Late 2017: Charlie Kirk, the brilliant, fearless founder of Turning Point USA, the most effective youth conservative movement in America, spots her viral “Red Pill Black” videos. Instead of letting raw talent rot on YouTube, Charlie does what he always does: he invests in winners. He brings her on as TPUSA’s communications director, hands her a national stage, donor network, campus tour circuit, and the most powerful megaphone any young conservative could dream of. Turning Point USA didn’t just give Candace a job, they gave her a rocket ship. 
Without Charlie Kirk’s vision and TPUSA’s unmatched infrastructure, she’d still be another angry nobody screaming into her phone in a studio apartment. Instead, she got Blexit - a mash-up of "Black" + "Exit" and book deals, Congress testimony, Kanye collabs, Daily Wire millions, and a marriage to literal British nobility husband.

In fact, in 2023, long after she had already cashed every check TPUSA ever wrote her, the BLEXIT Foundation she founded officially merged into Turning Point USA. That’s right: the very organization she now calls “controlled opposition” swallowed her baby whole, absorbed its staff, donors, and operations, and kept the lights on when her own grift was running dry.

Fast-forward: she blows it all in 2024 with antisemitic meltdowns, gets booted from Daily Wire, and now spends her days beefing with everyone from Ben Shapiro to Cardi B, proving Candace hood drama never really left. The pettiness, the conspiracy spirals, the “like” at the end of every sentence when she’s mad, it’s all still there, just wrapped in better lighting.
Charlie didn’t just save her career. He helped created Candace Owens, gave her a voice of the so called Black Voices she cared about. And how does the ungrateful grifter repay a man who pulled her out of obscurity? By turning around and attacking Charlie’s wife, smearing his family, and trying to torch the very organization that made her rich and famous, all while crying “they’re controlled opposition!” on her little podcast nobody asked for. Classy as ever, Candace. Real classy.
Enjoy the view from the gutter and go crawled back into, sweetheart. TPUSA will still be packing arenas long after your next flop lands like a wet turd.

Taliban Cash Jackpot Every Friday, Ohio Moms & Kids Get a Freezing Sidewalk for Christmas. Merry Freaking Priorities, America!

 

While Terrorists Count Our Millions, American Families Count Hypothermia Hours. Thanks for the Warm Wishes, Uncle Sam

Picture this: While American families huddle in doorways during Ohio's brutal winters, freezing winds howling at sub-zero temps that claim lives every year, our government wires $40 million a week, every single week to the Taliban in Afghanistan. These are the same thugs who sheltered Osama bin Laden and turned a nation into a hellhole for women and girls. But back home? The feds are slashing funds that keep our own people off the streets. It's a sick joke, and the punchline is thousands of Americans about to lose their roofs over their heads. This isn't compassion; it's betrayal.

Let's break it down, no sugarcoating. Since the Taliban seized power in 2021, the U.S. has pumped billions in "humanitarian aid" into Afghanistan, over $5 billion in cash shipments alone, flown in like pizza delivery for terrorists. Lawmakers like Rep. Tim Burchett have called it out: $40 million weekly, taxpayer dollars, getting taxed and pocketed by the Taliban. They skim millions just to let the aid through, turning our money into their war chest. Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted $10 million went straight to them in taxes by late 2024, and the cash keeps flowing in 2025. That's $2 billion a year propping up an enemy regime while our vets, moms, dads, men and women of all ages and working poor get told to pound sand.
Now look at the nightmare hitting home. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) just gutted the Continuum of Care program, the main lifeline for permanent supportive housing. It used to let 87% of the money go to real homes with wrap-around services (the proven "Housing First" model that actually ends homelessness). The new rule? Caps it at 30%. Starting January 1, 2026, they’re yanking stable housing and forcing the money into short-term shelters that kick people out if they don’t jump through hoops. No extra dollars to fill the gap. Ohio alone could lose $80 million out of its $178 million, putting over 10,000 Ohioans (part of 170,000 nationwide) back on the street.
Winter in Ohio is a killer. Temperatures drop to 20 below zero, snow buries everything, and the wind cuts straight to the bone. Last year homelessness already jumped 3%, with 11,759 people without shelter statewide and 2,556 in Franklin County alone. Now imagine a disabled veteran, a domestic-violence survivor.
Shelters are already full. Tents turn into ice boxes. People freeze to death under bridges. Ohio loses dozens every single winter to hypothermia. This policy isn’t reform; it’s a death sentence handed down by bureaucrats who’ve never felt that cold.
The hypocrisy gets worse. While American citizens wait years for Section 8 vouchers that never come, FEMA poured $650 million in 2024 alone into hotels, food, and services for migrants at the border. Kids here illegally often get free school meals and health care that struggling U.S. families can’t access. Meanwhile, FEMA froze $117 million meant for homeless American families this year. Born-here citizens are treated like garbage while others walk in and get handed the keys.
Ohio’s leaders? Silent. Twenty states, led by New York, sued HUD in November to stop these cuts, calling them unlawful chaos that endangers 170,000 lives. Cities like Columbus filed their own lawsuit back in May. Nonprofits joined in December. But Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost? He didn’t lift a finger. No lawsuit, no support, nothing. He left Ohio’s most vulnerable to freeze while he chased headlines somewhere else.
Homelessness is NOT a crime, it’s what happens when the country you paid taxes to and fought for turns its back on you. These cuts will cost lives, fill emergency rooms, and pack jails with people arrested just for trying to stay alive. Over 170,000 Americans, including veterans who served this nation, now face the streets because Washington would rather send pallets of cash to terrorists than keep its own people warm.
This is America’s shame. Reverse the HUD cuts. Demand Ohio’s leaders fight. Our people deserve better than crumbs while enemies get billions.
