Amen! A grand total of 88 Muslims, backed by CAIR, (a Muslim Brotherhood cut-out posing as an NGO), won in various elections across the country Tuesday.
We’d wake up to the real problem we’re facing as the Left dances with the devil.
Great point! The Muslims and the Marxists have joined together in the old enemy of my enemy is my friend dance routine where the Muslims want to kill us and rape our women while the Marxists only want to seize our personal property and make it their own.
You're right. Arguing over who is a real conservative and who is not is much more important than safeguarding our ability to remain here.
Samuel, You hit the bulls eye. The Communists (in the form of the 21st century Democrat Party political machine) have joined forces with the invading Muslims who now occupy and run several of our major cities. Muslim immigrant aliens (both legal and illegal)have arrived by the tens of millions in recent years. This is not by accent, it is not coincidental. The Muslim invasion was engineered by Barack Obama and the DemocratParty political machine. While the American-hating Muslims and the American-hating Communists are natural enemies to one another, they have temporarily become allies in the movement to overthrow traditional America and replace traditional Americans. The Muslims are quickly taking over America by seizing political power in our long-dying major cities. While in reality, a Muslim Communist is an oxymoron, for now Muslim-Communist is a made up political category that serves the propaganda programs of both Muslims and Communists.
Anti-first amendment is alive and well in both parties, just for different reasons. On my side, we love different peoples views until they cross some pre-set line, then it’s “fire them, they are evil”. Like it or not, it happens on both sides. Carlson doesn’t need to be your friend to see both sides of an argument. This issue is the very similar reason people hate Trump, because he crosses that imaginary line we all have. For gosh sakes, people, it is a free country we live in. If you don’t like or agree with a view someone has, stop watching them. Are we all gettting terrified of the turn in our culture toward the Marxist left now? If someone like Carlson says something you don’t like, let him know about your displeasure. He’s just a blogger, not a saint. I have seen comments on this very site praising or advocating for something he has said. Come on, are we getting too thin skinned even for our side?
Two phrases I grew up with Reddog , [ the road to hell is paved with good intentions , and the love of money is the root of all evil ]. We know money buys power and PEOPLE will sell their souls for power ergo the ozero-bidet debacle PDJT inherited. Now is the time to work for the voters who are waking up and bring them under the MAGA-MAHA tent.
Agree Marlan. Money always makes people do or say things that they probably would not have said if there was no money involved. Carlson is both and thinker and a businessman. He needs to continually challenge his audience to stay relevant, I think. Same with Megan Kelly and many other bloggers and pundits. The fact that Carlson had a controversial guest on does not make Carlson all-in with the guys thinking. We all know Tucker has some very wide-ranging views on things, Israel and UFO's being a couple of them. I'm never quite sure he is really "in the camp" on all his positions or if he is trying to generate something of entertainment value. I don't believe he is a Jew hater, he's not. But in the same way, it's clear he thinks the US goes too far in catering to some of Israels demands from us. There is good reason to believe that Israel is about Israel first in everything, just like we are regarding our own issues. I don't claim to know exactly where the line is on it all but Carlson has some good points that make a person think, even if you ultimately dismiss the position or point as wrong-sided. Everything seems to be so ultra-hyper today when it comes to a position important to people. There is never any nuance or middle ground it seems. Carlson is a businessman who needs to attract viewers interest to stay in business. He makes big bucks doing so. I believe, in hindsight, he would agree he could have phrased some of his comments in that interview differently, but they are out there now for eternity.
Could not agree more on middle ground being awol. It used to be we could disagree on certain aspects of an argument and still be cordial to one another. The mis-education of the younger generation is bearing the desired results of socialistic professors and yet the under 30 group I meet are conservative and mostly trade school students or high school to work people EARNING a living.
I know what you are talking about here. I talk to very few young people about politics because I guess I get bored hearing the same ignorant responses over and over. I tend to associate with more conservative types for sure. Most of my interaction with lefty's comes from adults, at least in terms of age. Most seem to be kids in an adult's body in terms of their positions. I stopped expecting to have good conversations with liberal adult types. Waste of my time. I don't want to change their minds necessarily but they all react the same way. Even my best friend in life who is quite liberal on many things but very conservative about values, money, and defense, has gotten angrier. He is a lifelong friend, but we managed to coexist quite easily by respecting each others views. So, we kind of walk carefully on issues now when we talk. Sad.
Speaking for myself, I followed Carlson for quite some time, and then lost interest -- somehow. Could be any number of reasons, but what settled it for me was his cringe worthy performance in the Kremlin. Obviously his own awesomeness for landing a big stinking fish like Putin overwhelmed his better instincts.
What did you expect Carlson to do while interviewing Putin? I thought it went pretty much as expected. But at least he had the guts to do it. There is no doubt that the questions were screened beforehand by Putin and his staff. They were not going to allow anything that could make Putin look bad. So not sure what you expected from him.
If the questions had been settled beforehand -- which I had not considered, but seems very likely -- then that performance did not take the "guts" you credit him with.
Right, just don't watch him. His laugh turns me off and I never know a word he says, he talks so fast. I even got free tickets to see him in person at some fancy event in CA and never knew a word he said, lol. Just don't watch and listen, move on. There's a LOT to know out there and first remember The Golden Rule. Live your life accordingly.
Gret comment. I stopped watching him for the most part due to his bouncing from reasonable to "out there" on things. The laugh seems kind of strained sometimes too. I used to be involved in political news, but it isn't politics any longer, it's insults and combat between parties. Congress lost their ability to get anything done when staying in power became the business model for them. As for the non-stop pundits and news, I check a couple sites each morning to make sure we aren't at war with someone, that I'm not in the obituaries, and then get busy with my day. I think too many Americans have exchanged large portions of their time for non-stop news and become addicted to it now. That's why so many people on both sides constantly see the "sky falling" and doomsday and have gotten far too angry. I am doing my best to move out of Northern VA and back out to the rural west where people don't hate everything. Be safe.
They are not pretending to be conservative or speak for conservatives. Qatarlson does claim to be a conservative. He is only slightly more conservative than Soros. Instead of taking his pay from George, he's taking it from the muslims who want to kill us.
Antisemitism is like pornography, you know it when you see it. Tucker is a Jew hater who promotes other Jew haters. He is blatantly engaged in destroying the MAGA movement since he was never a real Trump supporter to begin with. My mother’s Auschwitz number was 74401! I have personal knowledge of what happens when disgusting people like Tucker Carlson who claims only to be “just asking questions” is considered some voice of reason.
Sadly I am old enough to remember as a young girl seeing people with those numbers on their arms....for starters everyone should watch Meryl Streep in the movie "Sophie's Choice" Being a young mother at the time, it took my breath away and was so horrific I can still relive that moment of horror! You will know what I'm talking about when you see the movie and I hope you will. Maybe it's on YouTube?
I have seen 'Sophie's Choice'. It is a very hard movie to watch. I am not sure what my comment had to do with needing to see it.
Tucker did not push back on any antisemitic points. He should have. I believe those paying him are ok with being soft on antisemitism. I am not antisemitic nor did I mean to imply I was ok with it.
Am I the only one who didn’t know that being anti-globalist means being antisemitic? It seems to me that anything Wapo doesn’t like is a dog whistle. As far as Tucker, this is a manufactured issue, just like the Darryl Cooper crap. I listened to the Cooper interview and his words were twisted by the media, of which I am embarrassed to admit that I was once a part. I didn’t listen to Nick Fuentes because I wrote him off as an idiot years ago. But if you believe in free speech, which I do, then Tucker has a right to have any damned guest he wants on his show. If we don’t like it, we don’t have to listen.
Joe, I think it's because so many leftists have NO kids and lotsa dogs. So, it naturally follows that they would be familiar with dog whistles. (Winking emoji)
It would be a great thing for Mike Rowe to head the Heritage Foundation for a few years. As with almost any Think Tank I can think off, they have been smelling their own farts for too long. It would be a true reality check.
Of course if Mike Rowe replaced Roberts, the left and Never Trumpers would lose their ever loving minds. It would be great to watch.
Don, I pray you are wrong on the other Roberts but he has too much liability to the wrong people. I fear you are right.
I missed this quiz by a mile. Picked my 5th (no joke) 5th cousin Mike Pence because I figured he belonged to the same Judas club as Roberts (both of them.). Now I see how Mike Rowe would be great for it but that job may be too dirty even for him. I also wonder how. Steve Moore, generally a decent guy, fits into that outfit. DC is so bizarre.
I had Pence as a Governor so I feel for you having him in the family. Mike Rowe would have too much common sense to take the job but I think he could turn HF around. I dont recognize Steve Moore. I will look him up.
My part of the Pence family split from his about 150 years ago, so he's not that close in terms of DNA, thankfully. Here's a link to the latest on Steve Moore, who has been very close to President Trump, one of his economic advisors in Trump 1.0. As the story behind the link will tell, Steve just left Heritage and so will a lot of other folks that cannot respect what Kevin Roberts wrote, even after he backed down on it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-adviser-steve-moore-resigns-from-beleaguered-heritage-foundation/ar-AA1PXgGl
Me thinks this was a post you should have avoided, sir. I listened to the entire Tucka/Fuentes interview - because I had no idea who Fuentes was. There was zero antisemitism and I agree with Roberts. Shapiro's clan was courting Fuentes in 2016 until Nick asked uncomfortable questions like "Why do we send them so much money?" paraphrased. He was promptly let go.
The Right is as guilty as the left when controlling messaging; we should be debating idiots like Fuentes, not cancelling. He is a shock-jock and pretty harmless, but he is hitting on what conservatives are really embarrassed about: they shipped our economy overseas and shut us down during the Scamdemic and then printed $20T leading to a 26 yr old cannot afford housing. (printing money when there is no production = bigtime inflation).
Oh, and conservatives sent youth - not their kids - to war in the ME for decades. For nothing here, but to benefit folks like Israel and other interests on behalf of our wealthy. Yes, I have the benefit of hindsight, but it is a pity nobody has learned from it except guys like Fuentes and my son that listens to him but does not fully agree. To GenZ that I know they think his delivery is funny(shock) and are understanding our 'elites' all have Jewish history and are asking questions.
It's the Uniparty in action. What happened to America First?
We're going broke pouring money into Ukraine, a war we started, and Israel, who absolutely has too much influence in OUR government. The Uniparty has wrecked our economic base with globalism and our young see their futures as bleak.
So tell us, what influence has Israel done? Are you going to Schul regularly? Is every cut a beef kosher at the store? Has our money been tied to the Shekel? Hate is born form envy. And you are breaking one of the ten commandments., Is that Israel’s fault too? There are actually 613 commandments FYI. It is really hard to obey them all but the envious one is fairly easy.
Nuland et al started this recent episode as an act of revenge for having been thrown out of Russia after trying to loot the place. Putin, the George Washington of modern Russia, is the devil incarnate to them for daring to stand up to them.
Yes, I agree with both your Reply to Greg and Danimal's Comment above, everyone is a little on edge in our pressure-cooker political climate, and therefore may be overreacting a bit. I liked Tucker Carlson alot and followed him for a period, but haven't lately, and was surprised to hear that "he had become a Judas". I still haven't gone back to listen first-hand to some of the recent controversial Tucker episodes, but my gut instinct does say it does not concern me that he interviews certain "despicable" people, because it is very informative to listen to the opposition directly, and then you can decide if the despicable person really is despicable, based on your first-hand viewing of them speaking--INSTEAD of just assuming they are despicable because other people tell you they are.
That said, Ted Cruz had a point about cowardice--Tucker may have been too reticent to challenge Fuentes, and put a higher priority on "keeping access to his interview-ee".
And I think we on the Right are so used to being mercilessly smeared by Left, that we get upset when anyone on the Right gives any potential ammunition to the Left to smear us with--i.e., that the Right supposedly is "in sympathy" with Nazis.
Our fire should probably be directed instead at the Left for trying to twist an interview with someone with a divergent attitude into claiming we are in sympathy with that divergent attitude.
In a way, it's the Left just trying to exploit anything it thinks will divide us.
I'm sure they are actively trying to peel off and smear one figure on the Right after another to break up MAGA's strong unity.
That's right, especially your first paragraph. We get so wrapped up in defending our positions that we forget there are many ways to look at things. I don't claim to be right and either does Carlson. As humans we have the ability to see different things and think about them differently. But you are 100% right, we are so fed up with the Marxist media hammering and twisting everything we say or do anymore that we sometimes get too focused on our position and when someone who we might have thought agreed with us on everything looks at something differently than us we kind of freak out without thinking first. Ted Cruz went off the rails like that on this issue but he does it a lot it seems. We all need to take a deep breath and think more before saying or writing comments I guess.
Yes. Ted Cruz was rather harsh on this, but he must be exhausted after years on the front lines in the Senate. I'm glad he has hung in there, hopefully if there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Trump can nominate Ted Cruz, or Mike Lee.
TPG , just as a side note to being MAGA or conservative we must remember Islamists are conservatives until they are a majority ,then becoming Dearborn,MI.
Not even a majority. I think it was Bill Warner that pointed out that ideology starts making noise when the Muslim population reaches 30%, or maybe 40% of the population.
Dr. Warner has the best approach, I think, to discussing Political Islam and giving one the facts and words to clarify the issues and fight against this political ideology. The video I first think of is the Dynamic Battle Map of jihad vs crusades at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Wd6_kQ4Wc
Another example is audio at politicalislam.com entitled The Growth of Political Islam and How to Stop it, May 3, 2022. His videos never disappoint.
Was a virtual tie on the poll: Sarah Palin or Mike Rowe. Picked Sarah since I love her brassiness. Rowe though is a great guy; met him in L.A. a few years back @ a “Friends of Abe” lunch.
This whole Tucker Carlson/Mark Levin brouhaha isn’t registering on my meter @ all, to me it’s a tempest in a teapot & very short sighted. So Carlson gave Fuentes a platform to air his schtick. So what? That’s Carlson’s job; he’s an interviewer/commentator. It’s not his job to edit who/what these people say. If people don’t like Nick Fuentes ok, but speech is free & there should be more of it than less. If you don’t like Fuentes don’t watch the interview or watch it & comment on YouTube where/how you think he’s wrong. That’s the way this whole thing is supposed to work. But people in groups like The Heritage Foundation are a bunch of pointy heads who think it’s their job to dictate the parameters of the debate. That’s wrong in its entirety. No one/group is allowed to set how open/closed The Overton Window actually is. If Carlson’s Fuentes video is too much for you, go make your own video refuting his points & post it. That’s how this paradigm is supposed to work.
And as far as Mark Levin/Ben Shapiro vs Carlson, it has to be fair to criticize Israel. As an evangelical Christian I support Israel completely. But to say they are somehow above criticism for anything is beyond the pale. Every country - allied & not - is fair to criticize. And Israel is free to fight as many wars as she needs to to assure her existence, in my own personal opinion I just wish they’d do it with their own $$ & own weapons, not ours.
Speaking of weapons, an ironic fact of history is that Israel fought its 1948 War of Survival (what it was) largely with German weapons from World War II. Still have two K98k Mausers with the Wehrmachtadler (German Third Reich-era Armed Forces Eagle) knocked off by buffing it out & a “L’Chaim” symbol added in place of it. Moreover, the Israeli Air Force was flying German Messerschmitt Bf 109’s against Egyptian British-made Spitfires. It’s rather odd to see a German-made Bf 109 with big Stars of David painted on it, but truth is stranger than fiction.
Fun fact: The Bf 109 was the most massed produced German fighter of the war & it shot down the most Allied aircraft. The two highest scoring fighter pilots of all time - Lt’s Erich Hartmann (352 confirmed kills) & Gerd Barkhorn (301 confirmed kills) flew it exclusively. By comparison the highest scoring Allied fighter pilots - Lt Richard Bong USAAF had 40 confirmed kills & Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson RAF had 38. Why the stark contrast? The Allies had a 25 Mission Rotation schedule; after 25 missions they were rotated out of combat. The German Luftwaffe could afford no such luxury being heavily outnumbered, fighting on too many fronts & with the Allied bomber offensive in full swing from 1943 on, their pilots stayed in action until either killed or incapacitated from wounds for further flying. Moreover, Luftwaffe victory claims system was very stringent & a pilot was only considered an “Ace” with 10 confirmed kills to his credit, not 5 as in the USAAF/RAF.
Also, I love it when I learn new things about WWII planes, especially fighter planes. Ironic indeed to consider a Bf 109 emblazoned with a Star of David :·)
The ghost of Bill Buckley's deplatforming of people and groups he didn't like from the "conservative cause" still lives. The John Birch Society was kicked out. Peter Brimelow was kicked out. Many other suffered the same fate. Buchanan has always been right. Buckley was very often wrong. And Nick is slowly becoming a more raunchy version of Buchanan.
The problem with Heritage is a common one: over time, any organization drifts toward being run to suit the convenience and benefit of the staff rather than the clientele. It can be prevented, but seldom is. It happens in all kinds of organizations--think tanks, businesses, universities (a major example these days), even churches. Political parties, too. Maybe Heritage can be revived; but they're going to have to can Roberts and a bunch of others, probably with a hostile takeover--which is what Trump and MAGA did to the Republicans.
If only Trump & MAGA can take over the Republican party. The bulk of the GOP has still not learned how to fight & I think their just waiting Trump / MAGA out. When the Tea Party rose, McConnell wrote (in the NY Slimes), 'we're going to kick their ass".
The RINO strength consists solely in their control of the state Party apparatuses. That is slowly being eroded by MAGA, but MAGA still has a ways to go in gaining dominance in the state Party structures. Only then will the Republican Party be MAGA, not RINO.
“The bulk of the GOP has still not learned to think.” Stop reacting. Put your heads down and do the work you’re being paid to do. It’s not a party. It’s our country.
I wish Trump would stop talking and just keep doing. NO need to talk or call people names...it's childish and a waste of time....Just GET BUSY...the talking is the one flaw I can find in Superman that is very aggravating and why some people have grown tired of him sadly. He needs to keep his "base" and keep maga strong...mid terms are a worry.
I see that, but what worries me is the lemmings who believe the bluster. They vote. It’s clear that work is going on in the administration, but congress has been a huge disappointment.
I don't want him silenced, I just don't want people to think he represents conservatives when he is owned and operated by Qatar and speaks for the invaders sweeping Europe and threatening America.
So called conservatives are demanding people be silenced. If you don't like Carlson, don't watch. Heritage society people acting like democrats.If Fuentes is a nut, the fastest way for folks to realize that is to hear him speak.
No, not silenced. Yes, challenged. Tucker hates Christian Zionists the most for believing that the indigenous people of Israel have a right to live in their homeland. Think about that. He hates you ‘more than anyone’ if you say the Jews with 2,500 years of documented, continuous life in Israel have a right to live there.
You're projecting. I've never seen hate from Carlson. I don't have to accept your beliefs. I don't have to agree with Christian Zionists. This is America. Israel is Israel. They are just another country and I don't have to love them or support them.
Don't the Arabs who lived there for thousands of years have a right to live there too?
If you like being antisemitic, feel free to do so. Just remember, the creator of everything said to Abraham " I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.
Is Israel right in everything they do? No.
When the Jews returned after WW2, the land was mostly empty and barren. They built the infrastructure to make it fruitful. They purchased land from the Arabs who were there.
People talk about a two state solution. It's already been done. Jordan is the Arab partition. They kicked their Jews out!
The Arabs in Israel had a choice, they could have moved. Instead they chose to stay and the ones who identify as Palestinian are attempting to eliminate the Jews just like they eliminated Christians when they, under Turkish rule, murdered the Armenian people.
The term antisemitic has become the new Nazi. Meaningless. I'm no more antisemitic than I am a Nazi.
You're attempting the fallacy of the excluded middle. Because I don't slavishly love Israel I must want them destroyed. But there are a million points in between.
I just don't give a rat's ass about them and don't want my tax money going to support them. My tax money should go to things that benefit the United States of America, not foreign nations.
And in 1923 the Turkey/Greek diaspora where Turkey kicked out generations of 1.5 million turkish orthodox Greeks and Greece did the same to 500k Greek muslims. 20th Century repeats 100 years now, just waiting for un-willing-to-assimilate Islamists t/b deported from JudeoChristian US……
I was mad at Heritage when it’s stupid Project 2025 was confusingly aligned with Trump during the campaign and haven’t forgiven them since, but it did expose them for the anti-Trump neo-cons they’ve always been. Hopefully, this will be the end of them, since they’ve never used any influence to actually get conservative things done in DC. They are as swampy as their lefty counterparts. They exist to exist, not to actually promote conservatism. They need to follow National Review and the rest of the do-nothings into the dustbin. As for Tucker, clearly he’s spent too much time in the woods of Acadia. He needs to return to being the great influencer he once was—I hope it’s not too late for him. Maybe the new CBS has a spot for him on a new 60 Minutes.
I have never donated a dime to Heritage, but I get at least one piece of mail from them every week - this has been going on for many years. They do love to waste money. I regularly get mail from outfits I donate to & I get annoyed that so much of my donations are wasted. I feel as if these outfits think that people look forward to being bombarded with donation requests. This has the opposite effect on me & this year I'm donating less than usual.
My idiot low-info lefty Kamala-cult sister was all atwitter prior to the '24 election about Project 2025 being Trump's evil plan to destroy "our democracy" and turn the USA into the Fourth Reich.
Whatever else it was, Project 2025 did seem to be a distraction from the actual presidential campaign.
Calling someone who supports Stalin and Hitler "far right" is nonsense. Hitler and Stalin were communists. Nothing far right about them and nationalism knows no ideology. I find nothing wrong with loving your country.
Tucker Carlson is absolutely not anti Semitic. He does hate senseless wars, hypocrisy, elitism and judgmental thought police—none of which has anything to do with antisemitism.
What he does love- and fights to protect- is free and open debate with his critics as well as the marginalized ( and therefore controversial ).
It is so sad when Conservatives ( who should know better by dint of experience) start scapegoating others .
Establishment republicans destroyed the Tea Party by infiltrating with traitors who discredited & betrayed the values. They are trying to do it again to MAGA. Tucker’s not one of us.
Why don't we get this upset over the Muslims trying to eradicate us?
Amen! A grand total of 88 Muslims, backed by CAIR, (a Muslim Brotherhood cut-out posing as an NGO), won in various elections across the country Tuesday.
We’d wake up to the real problem we’re facing as the Left dances with the devil.
It's shocking but it's more than time to push back.
If we don't, America will be converted within two generations. Then the bitchy little girls and gay folks will have a rude awakening.
It would almost be worth it to see that.... but not quite.
Great point! The Muslims and the Marxists have joined together in the old enemy of my enemy is my friend dance routine where the Muslims want to kill us and rape our women while the Marxists only want to seize our personal property and make it their own.
You're right. Arguing over who is a real conservative and who is not is much more important than safeguarding our ability to remain here.
The Marxists will be eaten by the Muslims.
That's a good thing.
The Marxists "soldiers" always get eaten by someone. Usually the Marxist leadership.
Samuel, You hit the bulls eye. The Communists (in the form of the 21st century Democrat Party political machine) have joined forces with the invading Muslims who now occupy and run several of our major cities. Muslim immigrant aliens (both legal and illegal)have arrived by the tens of millions in recent years. This is not by accent, it is not coincidental.

I had a lot of respect for Tucker. What turned me away from him was problem with Jews. He can say what he wants but I don't have to listen.
That is spot on. He has rights like we do. Don't have to listen to him if you do not like his views. That's what we call freedom of speech here.
Two phrases I grew up with Reddog , [ the road to hell is paved with good intentions , and the love of money is the root of all evil ]. We know money buys power and PEOPLE will sell their souls for power ergo the ozero-bidet debacle PDJT inherited.

If you say so.
Right, just don't watch him. His laugh turns me off and I never know a word he says, he talks so fast. I even got free tickets to see him in person at some fancy event in CA and never knew a word he said, lol. Just don't watch and listen, move on. There's a LOT to know out there and first remember The Golden Rule. Live your life accordingly.
Gret comment. I stopped watching him for the most part due to his bouncing from reasonable to "out there" on things. The laugh seems kind of strained sometimes too. I used to be involved in political news, but it isn't politics any longer, it's insults and combat between parties. Congress lost their ability to get anything done when staying in power became the business model for them. As for the non-stop pundits and news, I check a couple sites each morning to make sure we aren't at war with someone, that I'm not in the obituaries, and then get busy with my day. I think too many Americans have exchanged large portions of their time for non-stop news and become addicted to it now. That's why so many people on both sides constantly see the "sky falling" and doomsday and have gotten far too angry. I am doing my best to move out of Northern VA and back out to the rural west where people don't hate everything. Be safe.
WV.
Agree , Tucker has " gone off the reservation " ; unless he course corrects soon his influence ( and success ) will evaporate .
That is going to be the real issue going forward. It's already happening in Europe and the United Kingdom.
and Texas, sad
Why do you assume we aren't? Many of us are!
They are not pretending to be conservative or speak for conservatives. Qatarlson does claim to be a conservative. He is only slightly more conservative than Soros. Instead of taking his pay from George, he's taking it from the muslims who want to kill us.
I for one do! If you lived near me you would regularly hear my raised voice.
Mine too.
Because people like Tucker, Candice, & Bannon are fixated on their Jew hatred rather than the real danger of Islam
Amen !!
Antisemitism is like pornography, you know it when you see it. Tucker is a Jew hater who promotes other Jew haters. He is blatantly engaged in destroying the MAGA movement since he was never a real Trump supporter to begin with. My mother’s Auschwitz number was 74401! I have personal knowledge of what happens when disgusting people like Tucker Carlson who claims only to be “just asking questions” is considered some voice of reason.
Tucker was able to get away with the stick for a long time but his paymasters are collecting.
God Bless your Mom.
Sadly I am old enough to remember as a young girl seeing people with those numbers on their arms....for starters everyone should watch Meryl Streep in the movie "Sophie's Choice" Being a young mother at the time, it took my breath away and was so horrific I can still relive that moment of horror! You will know what I'm talking about when you see the movie and I hope you will. Maybe it's on YouTube?
I have seen 'Sophie's Choice'. It is a very hard movie to watch. I am not sure what my comment had to do with needing to see it.
Tucker did not push back on any antisemitic points. He should have. I believe those paying him are ok with being soft on antisemitism. I am not antisemitic nor did I mean to imply I was ok with it.
We have to keep fighting the Jew Haters by speaking out and withholding money. May your mom’s memory be a blessing.
100% agree.
I found the only “cool thing”about Hitler was when he assumed room temperature.
He didn't, but his ashes did.
Am I the only one who didn’t know that being anti-globalist means being antisemitic? It seems to me that anything Wapo doesn’t like is a dog whistle. As far as Tucker, this is a manufactured issue, just like the Darryl Cooper crap. I listened to the Cooper interview and his words were twisted by the media, of which I am embarrassed to admit that I was once a part. I didn’t listen to Nick Fuentes because I wrote him off as an idiot years ago. But if you believe in free speech, which I do, then Tucker has a right to have any damned guest he wants on his show. If we don’t like it, we don’t have to listen.
Anything Wapo doesn't like should be celebrated.
I don't think that being anti-globalist means being antisemitic. I use myself as an example.
Tucker is not a globalist but he is antisemitic.
Pretty soon the left will label any word a dog whistle. Why is it that only the left labels words as dog whistles.
Why is it that only leftists hear the dog whistles?
Left has the talent to see (or hear) things that aren't really there.
WT, see above.
Joe, I think it's because so many leftists have NO kids and lotsa dogs. So, it naturally follows that they would be familiar with dog whistles. (Winking emoji)
Good one!
It would be a great thing for Mike Rowe to head the Heritage Foundation for a few years. As with almost any Think Tank I can think off, they have been smelling their own farts for too long. It would be a true reality check.
Of course if Mike Rowe replaced Roberts, the left and Never Trumpers would lose their ever loving minds. It would be great to watch.
Don, I pray you are wrong on the other Roberts but he has too much liability to the wrong people. I fear you are right.
I love Mike Rowe, but he has far too much common sense to go work for that stench of a place.
My thoughts exactly and he has done some stinky jobs, Joe so let him work his gigs and red pill the sure way.
I missed this quiz by a mile. Picked my 5th (no joke) 5th cousin Mike Pence because I figured he belonged to the same Judas club as Roberts (both of them.). Now I see how Mike Rowe would be great for it but that job may be too dirty even for him. I also wonder how. Steve Moore, generally a decent guy, fits into that outfit. DC is so bizarre.
I had Pence as a Governor so I feel for you having him in the family. Mike Rowe would have too much common sense to take the job but I think he could turn HF around. I dont recognize Steve Moore. I will look him up.
My part of the Pence family split from his about 150 years ago, so he's not that close in terms of DNA, thankfully. Here's a link to the latest on Steve Moore, who has been very close to President Trump, one of his economic advisors in Trump 1.0. As the story behind the link will tell, Steve just left Heritage and so will a lot of other folks that cannot respect what Kevin Roberts wrote, even after he backed down on it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-adviser-steve-moore-resigns-from-beleaguered-heritage-foundation/ar-AA1PXgGl
S. Moore uses the A. Wilkow method of economics, reasoned logic before acting on proposals.
Me thinks this was a post you should have avoided, sir. I listened to the entire Tucka/Fuentes interview - because I had no idea who Fuentes was. There was zero antisemitism and I agree with Roberts. Shapiro's clan was courting Fuentes in 2016 until Nick asked uncomfortable questions like "Why do we send them so much money?" paraphrased. He was promptly let go.
The Right is as guilty as the left when controlling messaging; we should be debating idiots like Fuentes, not cancelling. He is a shock-jock and pretty harmless, but he is hitting on what conservatives are really embarrassed about: they shipped our economy overseas and shut us down during the Scamdemic and then printed $20T leading to a 26 yr old cannot afford housing. (printing money when there is no production = bigtime inflation).
Oh, and conservatives sent youth - not their kids - to war in the ME for decades. For nothing here, but to benefit folks like Israel and other interests on behalf of our wealthy. Yes, I have the benefit of hindsight, but it is a pity nobody has learned from it except guys like Fuentes and my son that listens to him but does not fully agree. To GenZ that I know they think his delivery is funny(shock) and are understanding our 'elites' all have Jewish history and are asking questions.
It's the Uniparty in action. What happened to America First?
We're going broke pouring money into Ukraine, a war we started, and Israel, who absolutely has too much influence in OUR government. The Uniparty has wrecked our economic base with globalism and our young see their futures as bleak.
So tell us, what influence has Israel done? Are you going to Schul regularly? Is every cut a beef kosher at the store? Has our money been tied to the Shekel? Hate is born form envy. And you are breaking one of the ten commandments., Is that Israel’s fault too? There are actually 613 commandments FYI. It is really hard to obey them all but the envious one is fairly easy.
Absolutely and we have the receipts. The Globalists are stripping Ukraine almost exactly as they stripped Russia in the 90's.
Nuland et al started this recent episode as an act of revenge for having been thrown out of Russia after trying to loot the place. Putin, the George Washington of modern Russia, is the devil incarnate to them for daring to stand up to them.
For anyone who wants some History.

Good comment. You are on right track.
Yes, I agree with both your Reply to Greg and Danimal's Comment above, everyone is a little on edge in our pressure-cooker political climate, and therefore may be overreacting a bit. I liked Tucker Carlson alot and followed him for a period, but haven't lately, and was surprised to hear that "he had become a Judas". I still haven't gone back to listen first-hand to some of the recent controversial Tucker episodes, but my gut instinct does say it does not concern me that he interviews certain "despicable" people, because it is very informative to listen to the opposition directly, and then you can decide if the despicable person really is despicable, based on your first-hand viewing of them speaking--INSTEAD of just assuming they are despicable because other people tell you they are.
That said, Ted Cruz had a point about cowardice--Tucker may have been too reticent to challenge Fuentes, and put a higher priority on "keeping access to his interview-ee".
Very pointed and to the point comment. You captured it perfectly.
And I think we on the Right are so used to being mercilessly smeared by Left, that we get upset when anyone on the Right gives any potential ammunition to the Left to smear us with--i.e., that the Right supposedly is "in sympathy" with Nazis.
Our fire should probably be directed instead at the Left for trying to twist an interview with someone with a divergent attitude into claiming we are in sympathy with that divergent attitude.
In a way, it's the Left just trying to exploit anything it thinks will divide us.
I'm sure they are actively trying to peel off and smear one figure on the Right after another to break up MAGA's strong unity.
That's right, especially your first paragraph. We get so wrapped up in defending our positions that we forget there are many ways to look at things. I don't claim to be right and either does Carlson. As humans we have the ability to see different things and think about them differently. But you are 100% right, we are so fed up with the Marxist media hammering and twisting everything we say or do anymore that we sometimes get too focused on our position and when someone who we might have thought agreed with us on everything looks at something differently than us we kind of freak out without thinking first. Ted Cruz went off the rails like that on this issue but he does it a lot it seems. We all need to take a deep breath and think more before saying or writing comments I guess.
The msm is merely doing the masters bidding in trying to create not rifts but chasms in the MAGA-MAHA movement and it works on the weak -kneed.
Yes. Ted Cruz was rather harsh on this, but he must be exhausted after years on the front lines in the Senate. I'm glad he has hung in there, hopefully if there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Trump can nominate Ted Cruz, or Mike Lee.
TPG , just as a side note to being MAGA or conservative we must remember Islamists are conservatives until they are a majority ,then becoming Dearborn,MI.
Not even a majority. I think it was Bill Warner that pointed out that ideology starts making noise when the Muslim population reaches 30%, or maybe 40% of the population.
Dr. Warner has the best approach, I think, to discussing Political Islam and giving one the facts and words to clarify the issues and fight against this political ideology. The video I first think of is the Dynamic Battle Map of jihad vs crusades at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Wd6_kQ4Wc
Another example is audio at politicalislam.com entitled The Growth of Political Islam and How to Stop it, May 3, 2022. His videos never disappoint.
Was a virtual tie on the poll: Sarah Palin or Mike Rowe. Picked Sarah since I love her brassiness. Rowe though is a great guy; met him in L.A. a few years back @ a “Friends of Abe” lunch.
This whole Tucker Carlson/Mark Levin brouhaha isn’t registering on my meter @ all, to me it’s a tempest in a teapot & very short sighted. So Carlson gave Fuentes a platform to air his schtick. So what? That’s Carlson’s job; he’s an interviewer/commentator. It’s not his job to edit who/what these people say. If people don’t like Nick Fuentes ok, but speech is free & there should be more of it than less. If you don’t like Fuentes don’t watch the interview or watch it & comment on YouTube where/how you think he’s wrong. That’s the way this whole thing is supposed to work. But people in groups like The Heritage Foundation are a bunch of pointy heads who think it’s their job to dictate the parameters of the debate. That’s wrong in its entirety. No one/group is allowed to set how open/closed The Overton Window actually is. If Carlson’s Fuentes video is too much for you, go make your own video refuting his points & post it. That’s how this paradigm is supposed to work.
And as far as Mark Levin/Ben Shapiro vs Carlson, it has to be fair to criticize Israel. As an evangelical Christian I support Israel completely. But to say they are somehow above criticism for anything is beyond the pale. Every country - allied & not - is fair to criticize. And Israel is free to fight as many wars as she needs to to assure her existence, in my own personal opinion I just wish they’d do it with their own $$ & own weapons, not ours.
Speaking of weapons, an ironic fact of history is that Israel fought its 1948 War of Survival (what it was) largely with German weapons from World War II. Still have two K98k Mausers with the Wehrmachtadler (German Third Reich-era Armed Forces Eagle) knocked off by buffing it out & a “L’Chaim” symbol added in place of it. Moreover, the Israeli Air Force was flying German Messerschmitt Bf 109’s against Egyptian British-made Spitfires. It’s rather odd to see a German-made Bf 109 with big Stars of David painted on it, but truth is stranger than fiction.
Fun fact: The Bf 109 was the most massed produced German fighter of the war & it shot down the most Allied aircraft. The two highest scoring fighter pilots of all time - Lt’s Erich Hartmann (352 confirmed kills) & Gerd Barkhorn (301 confirmed kills) flew it exclusively. By comparison the highest scoring Allied fighter pilots - Lt Richard Bong USAAF had 40 confirmed kills & Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson RAF had 38. Why the stark contrast? The Allies had a 25 Mission Rotation schedule; after 25 missions they were rotated out of combat. The German Luftwaffe could afford no such luxury being heavily outnumbered, fighting on too many fronts & with the Allied bomber offensive in full swing from 1943 on, their pilots stayed in action until either killed or incapacitated from wounds for further flying. Moreover, Luftwaffe victory claims system was very stringent & a pilot was only considered an “Ace” with 10 confirmed kills to his credit, not 5 as in the USAAF/RAF.
This.
Also, I love it when I learn new things about WWII planes, especially fighter planes. Ironic indeed to consider a Bf 109 emblazoned with a Star of David :·)
The ghost of Bill Buckley's deplatforming of people and groups he didn't like from the "conservative cause" still lives. The John Birch Society was kicked out. Peter Brimelow was kicked out. Many other suffered the same fate. Buchanan has always been right. Buckley was very often wrong. And Nick is slowly becoming a more raunchy version of Buchanan.
Thanks Dutch , didn't know that about the 1948 war armament . I am always up for undiscovered ( for me ) history .
The problem with Heritage is a common one: over time, any organization drifts toward being run to suit the convenience and benefit of the staff rather than the clientele. It can be prevented, but seldom is. It happens in all kinds of organizations--think tanks, businesses, universities (a major example these days), even churches. Political parties, too. Maybe Heritage can be revived; but they're going to have to can Roberts and a bunch of others, probably with a hostile takeover--which is what Trump and MAGA did to the Republicans.
If only Trump & MAGA can take over the Republican party. The bulk of the GOP has still not learned how to fight & I think their just waiting Trump / MAGA out. When the Tea Party rose, McConnell wrote (in the NY Slimes), 'we're going to kick their ass".
The RINO strength consists solely in their control of the state Party apparatuses. That is slowly being eroded by MAGA, but MAGA still has a ways to go in gaining dominance in the state Party structures. Only then will the Republican Party be MAGA, not RINO.
Yep , the " bulk of the GOP " appears to be our largest obstacle to much needed reform .
“The bulk of the GOP has still not learned to think.” Stop reacting. Put your heads down and do the work you’re being paid to do. It’s not a party. It’s our country.
I believe it was Rush that referred to the GOP as the reactionary party (in addition to the stupid party).
I wish Trump would stop talking and just keep doing. NO need to talk or call people names...it's childish and a waste of time....Just GET BUSY...the talking is the one flaw I can find in Superman that is very aggravating and why some people have grown tired of him sadly. He needs to keep his "base" and keep maga strong...mid terms are a worry.
His talking is not all bluster ; much of it is exploding heads and misdirection. The man has the cunning of the greatest of all foxes .
I see that, but what worries me is the lemmings who believe the bluster. They vote. It’s clear that work is going on in the administration, but congress has been a huge disappointment.
If they were paying someone 950k per year they are not worth saving .

I don't want him silenced, I just don't want people to think he represents conservatives when he is owned and operated by Qatar and speaks for the invaders sweeping Europe and threatening America.
where is evidence he's owned by Qatar - just sincerely asking

This was the first in my feed when I googled it. I get most of my news from a site on telegram which has had numerous tidbits regarding Tucker.
I also base my views from a segment of America's untold stories where they did a deep dive on him . That was before his shift this year.
There are strong indications of links between him and the CIA which is decidedly Anti - Trump.
Lots of little strings, but when woven, a stout rope.
seems like strong evidence allright. thanks for your reply
Who’s demanding they be silenced? Cruz and others are rationally rebutting them- challenging the cogency of their ideas in public forum.
Just because someone or somebodies have a microphone doesn’t mean they’re obliged to let anyone speak into it.
And that relates to this column how? I’m confused.
So called conservatives are demanding people be silenced. If you don't like Carlson, don't watch. Heritage society people acting like democrats.If Fuentes is a nut, the fastest way for folks to realize that is to hear him speak.
No, not silenced. Yes, challenged. Tucker hates Christian Zionists the most for believing that the indigenous people of Israel have a right to live in their homeland. Think about that. He hates you ‘more than anyone’ if you say the Jews with 2,500 years of documented, continuous life in Israel have a right to live there.
I challenge that.
You're projecting. I've never seen hate from Carlson. I don't have to accept your beliefs. I don't have to agree with Christian Zionists. This is America. Israel is Israel. They are just another country and I don't have to love them or support them.
Don't the Arabs who lived there for thousands of years have a right to live there too?
If you like being antisemitic, feel free to do so. Just remember, the creator of everything said to Abraham " I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.
Is Israel right in everything they do? No.
When the Jews returned after WW2, the land was mostly empty and barren. They built the infrastructure to make it fruitful. They purchased land from the Arabs who were there.
People talk about a two state solution. It's already been done. Jordan is the Arab partition. They kicked their Jews out!
The Arabs in Israel had a choice, they could have moved. Instead they chose to stay and the ones who identify as Palestinian are attempting to eliminate the Jews just like they eliminated Christians when they, under Turkish rule, murdered the Armenian people.
The term antisemitic has become the new Nazi. Meaningless. I'm no more antisemitic than I am a Nazi.
You're attempting the fallacy of the excluded middle. Because I don't slavishly love Israel I must want them destroyed. But there are a million points in between.
I just don't give a rat's ass about them and don't want my tax money going to support them. My tax money should go to things that benefit the United States of America, not foreign nations.
And in 1923 the Turkey/Greek diaspora where Turkey kicked out generations of 1.5 million turkish orthodox Greeks and Greece did the same to 500k Greek muslims. 20th Century repeats 100 years now, just waiting for un-willing-to-assimilate Islamists t/b deported from JudeoChristian US……
Arabs do live there too, and are even members of the Knesset.
Arabs in Israel are full citizens with voting rights.
And then the Christian Zionists—who are, well, Christian Zionist? Like, what is that? And I can just say for myself, I dislike them more than anybody
You do know how infinitesimally small the state of Israel is compared to the Islamic M.E.?
When I came back from my trip to Israel, for perspective, I overlayed it on a map of Ohio, with Jerusalem over Columbus.
It’s 1/6 the size of Ohio!
After the Holocaust, you would begrudge them that?!?
I begrudge any foreign nation getting my tax money. I had nothing to do with any of anyone's past claims of grievance.
Let them pay their own way.
Amen.
It's obviously related. If speech was not free we wouldn't know how idiotic some people are.
I appreciate that Mr. Surber has addressed the formerly bow tied anti/semite and his Hitler butt fan boi interview.
The elites of the metro DC area. And I include "conservatives" in this statement have no clue how the country thinks let alone works.
The Heritage Foundation is led by people who have lived in that toxic bubble too long
Last line J.M. !!
I was mad at Heritage when it’s stupid Project 2025 was confusingly aligned with Trump during the campaign and haven’t forgiven them since, but it did expose them for the anti-Trump neo-cons they’ve always been. Hopefully, this will be the end of them, since they’ve never used any influence to actually get conservative things done in DC. They are as swampy as their lefty counterparts. They exist to exist, not to actually promote conservatism. They need to follow National Review and the rest of the do-nothings into the dustbin. As for Tucker, clearly he’s spent too much time in the woods of Acadia. He needs to return to being the great influencer he once was—I hope it’s not too late for him. Maybe the new CBS has a spot for him on a new 60 Minutes.
Not likely - Bari may have her own issues with Tucker.
I have never donated a dime to Heritage, but I get at least one piece of mail from them every week - this has been going on for many years. They do love to waste money. I regularly get mail from outfits I donate to & I get annoyed that so much of my donations are wasted. I feel as if these outfits think that people look forward to being bombarded with donation requests. This has the opposite effect on me & this year I'm donating less than usual.
My idiot low-info lefty Kamala-cult sister was all atwitter prior to the '24 election about Project 2025 being Trump's evil plan to destroy "our democracy" and turn the USA into the Fourth Reich.
Whatever else it was, Project 2025 did seem to be a distraction from the actual presidential campaign.
Calling someone who supports Stalin and Hitler "far right" is nonsense. Hitler and Stalin were communists. Nothing far right about them and nationalism knows no ideology. I find nothing wrong with loving your country.
Precisely! It wasn't the nationalism that made Nazis evil, it was the socialist worker's party stuff. Identical to communism.
Tucker Carlson is absolutely not anti Semitic. He does hate senseless wars, hypocrisy, elitism and judgmental thought police—none of which has anything to do with antisemitism.
What he does love- and fights to protect- is free and open debate with his critics as well as the marginalized ( and therefore controversial ).
It is so sad when Conservatives ( who should know better by dint of experience) start scapegoating others .
Poll: none. Abolish that wasteful piece of crap Heritage. Think tanks are useless.
Establishment republicans destroyed the Tea Party by infiltrating with traitors who discredited & betrayed the values. They are trying to do it again to MAGA. Tucker’s not one of us.
Grifting is a disease & it eventually hits when money starts pouring in.
Adolf Hitler's greatest contribution to the world was that he is the individual who killed Adolf Hitler.
Apparently there is some debate about that ; and not much evidence either way 🤔.
