It's an American Conservative web site. Idk what about it would be "neocon" since the articles I've seen there have plenty of Ukraine skepticism in them.
Also, "neocons" were all basically democrats, and they switched back to Democrat party identity when Trump showed up. All of them endorsed Biden. So no, Republicans can't be associated with "neocons" anymore.
Never mind, I must have misremembered, because there is nothing in my history indicating that. I think it's because Allahpundit is a neocon of the highest order, but that's on Twitter, and not on the website.
EDIT: Wow, he actually quit Twitter because Musk restored free speech. What a moron.

Hotair fired Allahpundit because he became too liberal and provoked too many complaints, despite being a founding member of the site.
I have a history with Allahpundit. I started to follow him back in the early 2000s when I was in law school and he had a blog "Allah is in the House" where all his posts were in the voice of Allah, talking about various topics making fun of jihadis and liberals. Allahpundit was a major player in the right wing blogosphere for Rathergate in the 2004 election, and I had a front row seat.
Allahpundit was consistently right wing until Trump showed up. Trump broke him. Then in 2020 with BLM and Covid, he went full Democrat. I realized that Allahpundit only became right wing in response to 9/11 out of fear, then, when Covid showed up, he switched sides again out of fear. His impulse was that he wanted authoritarian "strong government" to save him from what he feared. Very sad to see a man so controlled by fear and so delusional to think that the government could actually save him.

Hm... firing a founder is a bit troubling, but I do think it is justified in this case.

To be clear, much of that was "LOLZ LIBS ARE TRAITORS FOR NOT SUPPORTING OUR WARS", not? (And yes, I know most of their politicians did.)

Actually, I'm unfortunately similar to that. I supported all the anti-terror measures after 9/11, which governments gleefully imposed here as well, same for lockdowns during Covid. I like to think that I now learned my lesson, but only time will tell.
I guess a George W. Bush Republican will definitely switch now that the Democrats are more warmongering than the Republicans.
Or maybe he was always a grifter. Who the hell knows? If you can't tell if I'm an FSB contractor despite interacting with me quite a lot, I can't tell based on someone's carefully curated posts.
Eh... I guess they don't hurt overall, but it is a neocon type website.
