Connor From Jubilee Video Lost Job, Asks For Money

Connor From Jubilee Video Lost Job, Asks For Money

Buzz Feeda day ago
By now, you've surely seen clips of the viral Jubilee video where progressive journalist and author Mehdi Hasan debated 20 far-right conservatives.
It was disturbing, to say the least. And one of the most controversial participants was Connor, a self-proclaimed fascist...
...who brought up Nazi theorist Carl Schmitt to defend his stance, and then refused to condemn Nazis.
The clip was shared and discussed widely across social media. During an appearance on the Rift TV podcast, Connor gave an update, saying, "Unfortunately, I lost my job as a result. No one really is to blame for that. It's just the culture that kind of exists currently, surrounding the manner in which you're canceled for voicing a ... heterosexual, Christian, sort of moral belief."
On the podcast, he said he condemns "the persecution of anyone, Jews included," but didn't want to "play" Mehdi's "game" because it was a "loaded question."
After losing his job, Connor began crowdfunding on a GiveSendGo page with the title: "Fired for my Political Beliefs." He wrote, "Voicing fully legal traditional right wing political views results in real consequences. This is cancel culture and political discrimination on full display."
At the time of publication, Connor has raised $36k and received 975 prayers??? Okay.
People who gave donations also wrote comments supporting Connor and asking God to bless him.
As you might imagine, the internet is having a field day with all this. Here's what people are saying:
The entire video is up on Jubilee's YouTube page. For those of you who watched it, how did it make you feel? What are your thoughts or concerns? Share in the comments or in the anonymous form below.

Israeli Ambassador rebukes MK Eliyahu over Gaza comments: 'Harmful to US support'

In a tense phone call this morning, Israel's Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter urged Minister Eliyahu to retract his statements, saying, "They harm our relations with supporters in the White House" In a tense phone call this morning, Israel's Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter urged Minister Eliyahu to retract his statements "The government is rushing to erase Gaza, and thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Gaza will be Jewish" saying, "They harm our relations with supporters in the White House, Congress, the Senate, and Christian communities in the US" According to a source with knowledge, the ambassador further stated during the heated conversation, which was conducted at times in heated tone, that the remarks were inaccurate: "Many people are working day and night to ensure that Gaza's residents receive food and humanitarian aid." "Minister Amichay Eliyahu does not speak for the government I lead. He is not a member of the Security Cabinet that determines the conduct of the war," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement, posted on the Prime Minister's Office X/Twitter page. "His views are his own. He opposed the hostage release agreement and chose to resign. This government's policy is clear and united. His statements do not represent it." In a Thursday morning interview on Kol Barama radio the minister also said "We don't need to be concerned about hunger in the Strip. We have completely lost our minds." Eliyahu's statements do not reflect policy of Netanyahu, gov't Ambassador Leiter tweeted on X that Eliyahu statements do not reflect the policy of Netanyahu and his government. "The exact opposite is true", the Ambassador tweeted. "Despite the enormous difficulties of providing humanitarian aid to the non-combatant population of Gaza, we have done so with determination and commitment. The PM has stated that, 'There will be no starvation in Gaza. Period.'" Leiter added that the quotes attributed to Minister Eliyahu are wrong, foolish and totally unrepresentative of the government and people of Israel. "Our objective is, and will remain, the total defeat of Hamas, which serves death and destruction, murder and mayhem, on Israelis and Gazans, while providing humanitarian assistance to non-combatant Gazans".

OF COURSE ‘restorative justice' in schools doesn't work — and now the proof is in

Surprise, surprise: School 'meditation rooms' and 'harm-reduction circles,' a new study shows, don't cure juvenile delinquents but instead undermine teachers' authority and lead to more chaotic classrooms. Gee, who would've thunk it? Actually, the study — by the Manhattan Institute — confirms what we've long known about then-Mayor Bill de Blasio's push for 'restorative justice' in the name of racial equity: It was always doomed to fail. Restorative justice calls for schools to provide students and staff the opportunity to talk through conflicts instead of punishing kids with meaningful measures like suspensions. Yet the data shows that, despite an outlay of $100 million since it became the prevailing practice, incidents requiring the NYPD's school safety division more than doubled — from 1,200 in the first quarter of 2016 to 4,120 in the first quarter of 2025. The report also found that putting troubled students in 'meditation rooms' instead of suspending or kicking them out of class doesn't solve any problems, as violent incidents continued to rise and absenteeism jumped 35%. The study cites several instances of students not being punished or held accountable for deplorable behavior and violent acts. Though students at Origins High School who had subjected a Jewish teacher to Nazi salutes and threats were sent to a 'meditation room,' the harassment did not stop. This spring, an 8-year-old stabbed a staff member with a pencil and threatened classmates at Staten Island's PS 8. Parents derided the school's response — a meditation room and calls home — as entirely inadequate. A Center for Court Innovation in Brooklyn found no statistically significant benefits in schools that implemented restorative-justice practices compared to those that used a traditional disciplinary approach. The Department of Education claims suspensions have plummeted 48% over the past 10 years, resulting in 'keeping more children in class and engaged.' Duh: If your policy is to suspend fewer kids, as restorative-justice calls for, it's no shock that fewer kids get suspended. Even Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos admits the approach isn't cutting it: 'The work is far from done,' she conceded Wednesday. Yet she vowed, 'It's not leaving New York City public schools.' That's unforgivable: The study's bottom line clearly found restorative justice fuels disorder, a lack of accountability and possibly an increase in chronic absenteeism. The disruptions that prevent well-behaved kids from learning alone should be enough to ditch this policy, not to mention the violence and absenteeism that comes from it. Mayor Eric Adams, as a former cop, should know that kids who don't pay meaningful consequences for misbehavior will simply continue misbehaving. Some good news: An April 2025 executive order from Donald Trump puts the kibosh on using race as a factor in discipline, which may help push schools to return to traditional responses to misconduct and a restoration of order in classrooms. But until New York City's policy changes, the chaos will continue — and learning will suffer.

After exposing the secrets behind the Duggar family in Season 1, 'Shiny Happy People' is back on Prime Video with a new focus that's not so different from the first. Instead of looking further at the radical and controversial teachings of The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), a Christian fundamentalist organization that the Duggar family belongs to, Season 2 of 'Shiny Happy People,' which is subtitled 'A Teenage Holy War,' focuses on Teen Mania. Founded in 1986, Teen Mania was an evangelical Christian youth group that had ministries nationwide. Teen Mania attracted millions of teens thanks, in part, to Acquire the Fire stadium events that combined church service with popular music. Per the series description, Teen Mania also enrolled teens in 'sadistic boot camps, staged martyrdom drills, and fascism disguised as faith – transforming innocent teens into fanatical soldiers.' The three-episode season features archival footage, interviews with survivors, and expert analysis to expose the truth about Teen Mania.
