What a month it’s been! And what fun we’ve had with our VIP and VIP Gold members during this eventful January 2024. Our members have engaged with us in our comment sections, adding and extending the debates, and have been drawn to some of the hottest topics and discussions.

We couldn’t do this without our members, and we wouldn’t want to!

So what were the hottest topics for our members this month?  In a true Top Ten fashion, the month’s most-read VIP posts for January are:

10: The End of Plastic Bags?

9: Can a Community Force Walgreens to Remain Open?

8: Two Scenarios That Should Give Republicans Flop Sweat

7: More Evidence That the Swamp Is Dropping Ukraine 

6: Ahead of Iowa’s Caucuses, All Weirdness Still Leads to Florida

5: Houthi Hits, Austin Splits, and Wade-Willis Writs: Week in Review!

4: Fani and the Donald: The Week in Review!

3: Johns Hopkins in Damage Control Mode Over DEI Memo

2: ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt to Houston Texans’ QB C.J. Stroud: Let’s Talk About Something Besides Your Faith, M’kay?

And the number one most read VIP post this month is ….

1: Iowa Upset in the Making? 

And hey, we’ll have Tom Jackson later today with another great VIP column. Christian Toto joins me again for our new Off the Beaten Path podcast. And the month won’t be over until after tomorrow’s VIP Gold chat with Cam Edwards, too. Our members have exclusive access to all of this content and more, as they stand with us against the efforts to shut down conservative views and analysis by the Protection Racket Media and Big Tech censorship.

That will be especially crucial in the upcoming election cycle, as the Left tries to do all it can to shut down dissent. Many of our readers have joined the fight as part of our VIP and VIP Gold membership, and they have been crucial to our operations as an independent platform and the ability to debate all of the issues honestly. We also produce some great exclusive content for our members:

• The Amiable Skeptics featuring Adam Baldwin
• Off the Beaten Path — Our Look at the Culture with Christian Toto
• The Week in Review with Duane Patterson
• Exclusive columns from Tom Jackson, Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson, and New Voices in February
• Members-only content from our HotAir team – David Strom, Jazz Shaw, and myself
• Live chats and interactive engagement on all platforms with VIP Gold
• Exclusive access to the comments sections on each post, so that you can join the conversation at HotAir
• And more yet to come!

We talk about this more often now because we see the coming crisis in media more clearly than ever. We hope we can gather as many allies as possible to keep all of these issues in the public square – and indeed to preserve the public square at all.
