And there were so many. A perfect summing up of where we are. Ambassador Huckabee’s letter to the Boss struck straight to my heart. Another genius appointment from the felon. As for me, myself and I, having always trusted him to act for America I love him ‘ more than yesterday, less than tomorrow.’
“Oh America (I hear you calling…
)” performed at the inaugural by our favorite tenor Christopher Maccino was IMHO the most fitting for our hero(s).
Don, I read your paragraphs from Mike Huckabee, for whom I have great respect, and I cried. And that's the truth. The voice, the only voice, all of us, regardless of political affiliation, need to listen to is the 'still small voice of God'. How many problems in this world would we have been spared if we had only done that. I am with you, Ambassador Huckabee, and all who believe in the on true God. Trump is not here as a game. He is here for a reason. If he hears and follows the still small voice of God, all will work out for the right and for the good.
06/18/25: Ambassador Huckabee is far more eloquent than I ever anticipated that he could be. Dividends from Butler PA continue flowing... I ignored Musk. And I'm ignoring Tucker. Both have done great things in the past and are certainly entitled to make mistakes once in a while without CNN declaring a $#&^%$!! stock dividend. Sailing on...
The question that needs to be answered by the Tucker Carlson wing of MAGA is how a nuclear armed Iran who has shouted “death to America” makes America stronger? Did Kim Jung whatever getting the bomb make us safer? Imagine a nuclear armed insane Shia Mullah essentially taking over the middle east. Rising Lion has paved the way for the USA to safely finish the job with a single flight of two B2 bombers. But perhaps Tucker and his other friends have a problem with the “Zionist entity” leading the way? Just saying.
I have to admit I haven’t followed the devo- evolution of Tucker. Last time I heard him he was sane. As for his pal Candy, never listened to her so IDK.
And just wondering…wasn’t it L’il Rocket Man? Or was that my projection onto Elon’s son? Maybe a dream.
Tucker has always talked about how the politicians get us into wars to enrich themselves. I don’t think he’s wrong on that. At the same time, if we shouldn’t take military action unless it’s to protect ourselves, wouldn’t destroying Iran’s ability to have nukes be protecting ourselves? Trump being Trump, I trust him to do things in a way, if needed and if possible, to eliminate the threat without getting us into a long, protracted war. He’s certainly not seeking to enrich himself by starting a war. He thinks of us, first and foremost.
I do listen to Tucker (not much lately). Seems to me he is mired in regret for his advocacy of the Gulf War in Iraq. That plus his developing Christian faith have him a bit off his pins.
Pray for him and all in power. And would be better if Tucker shelved his smart alec tendencies (on display in recent conversation with Ted Cruz). Obnoxious like fingernails on a chalkboard.
they're all in the barrel for sure. president trump was definitely paying attention at the wharton school of business during any classes on the art of war by sun tzu.
There's an old saying from the British Lord Acton: "Power tends to corrupt; and absolute power corrupts absolutely." It also tends to make people stupid over time. They get away with stuff, and get away with stuff--until they don't. The Ayatollah is joining the ranks of people who were convinced they were smart until they blew it...Nero, Napoleon Bonaparte, Hitler...and now Khameini. And I am wondering--at his age, how much was he controlled by his supposed subordinates, just as Biden was--and now they're dead and he has no one left to tell him what to do.
I do have to admit, though, that as a lifelong student of history, I wish our CIA had one-tenth of the competence of Mossad.
I hate Rinos but at least the R party includes Conservatives. As we know, the Party of Political Violence - Democrats - haven’t allowed anything close to a “blue dog” to run, let alone win, an office in a half century.
Thou Shalt Not Kill....once a life is formed, it's a life at any stage. To tell young women that if they "make a mistake" they can just run to an abortionist because it's a blob is a sin in itself. Look at your beloved child and think about that. What if....there are no "rights" to kill anyone.
The R party sure needs to get in line and support Trump's BBB. I too hate what it will do to the debt but there's lots of positive stuff in it that needs to be made permanent and time is running out.
Don mentioned Bob Corker as a RINO. Bob was a good mayor of Chattanooga and was, for a while a good Senator for Tennessee. But when he acquiesced as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and allowed Obama to sign the Iranian nuclear treaty without the approval of the Senate which is required by the Constitution, he showed that he had become just another Washington scoundrel who would go along to get along.
By definition, the conservative right are individuals who believe in personal liberty and free speech. A party of conservatives is inevitably a coalition of shared interests and values.
The socialist left by contrast believe in top down government control of production, distribution and exchange. This means that they believe those in power should speak with one voice. Those who disagree must be silenced or crushed to save the state.
My personal belief is that the fact we have different voices speaking and arguing on the right is a sign of strength not weakness.
The Carlson/Bannon wing of MAGA are splintering off over policy issues that seem to divert from promises made. That's a good sign that MAGA is driven by principles and not by power. I am not smart enough to suggest how to patch this up, but I believe the forces causing the decisions that are splintering MAGA are by design. Recall, the Intelligence Community had half of America believing in weapons of mass destruction.
As Mike Huckabee stated in his note to PDJT, "You did not seek this moment. This moment sought you." We need to stay faithful, calm, rational, and remember the Mid-terms - our future - are right around the corner. We need to stick together despite some variations of opinion or this journey ends abruptly in 2026.
To me, it is not coincidence that Bannon and Carlson would link up over this matter, as they represent two of the biggest egos in MAGA-land, and that put a giant “sell by” date on both their foreheads.
They constantly play at being the smartest person in the room, and that hubris leaves them prey to all sorts of irrational and hyperbolic nonsense, blinding them to even basic common sense.
That they, and those like them, cannot or refuse to recognize the wisdom, brilliant execution and generational necessity of what is transpiring in Iran right now should be to their everlasting shame and disgrace, proving them to be nothing more than fools.
Well, in this issue playing out over MAGA and Iran, the alternative presented is the squishy NEOCON Lindsey Graham/Mark Levin school led by the ghost George W Bush. It only takes a war to get this spirit to reappear. We're the Ebeneezer Scrooge seeing the ghost of NEOCON past. The attempt to split MAGA appears to be working.
Bannon has a face for radio and doesn't come off as the polished mainstream news anchor, but unlike them, he has navigated Destroyers around the world and in the middle east so I think he knows a thing or two about Iran and its history and threat to America and Israel. We all agree Iran is a problem that needs to be eliminated. The arguments arise over tactics and direct involvement.
Mark Levin last night is all for sending the big bomber over there with 2 big bombs to make an enormous hole in the ground and destroying everything in and around it...No question what he thinks and his comments on the show made total sense to me. Ayatollah has a big mouth but if you are a smithereen, no one can hear you.
Here in NJ, our journey ends this fall, when we choose a new and hopefully better governor. Either we work, hard, to choose a Republican, or we face ever descending conditions under another hack worse than Murphy. If you live here, think carefully before you reactively pull the “D” levers. Taxes up, food costs up, home costs up, utilities skyrocketing due to foolish “renewables,” which are no such thing. Don’t let us become even more like California.
A world without the beardies in Tehran would be incredibly refreshing. Terrorism wouldn't disappear completely, of course, but without the flow of guns and money from Iran, the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis would be reduced from a major menace to a minor annoyance. Erdogan in Turkey might be tempted to fill in the gap to some extent, but he would be greatly limited in what he could do, given the country's NATO membership and such. Iran would reopen Israel's embassy in Tehran and Saudi Arabia would open one in Riyadh, too. The Pallys would, at long last, have little choice but to take whatever deal Israel is willing to give them. (I suspect it wouldn't be much.) Like I said, it would be refreshing.
Over the years, I myself called Trump's [insert action here] to be reckless and bound for disaster, several times. Each time I was proven wrong. I now realize that Trump is the ultimate pragmatist with a fantastic ability to understand opponents and outmaneuver them. He's earned my trust as well.
Beware calling Tucka an idiot; he puts himself out there and admits when he is wrong. His reference to the 'American Empire' is not in a good light; he is disgusted by the 'American Empire' - the Deep State and its failings across the globe - and how it has ruined CONUS.
Trump has earned immense credibility in foreign policy (and domestic!). His ability to see the big picture is unmatched, and he has access to information that pundits don’t. Tucker should understand this, whatever his biases.
I listened to Jesse Kelly last night. He is great at bluntly teaching how communists think and behave. Anyway, he was warning people not to let this issue splinter MAGA, making the case that there are good arguments on both sides.
Tucker is bought and paid for....we had been erroneously told that he has the personal wealth to do what he does on his own....apparently not so...But, he has always come across as naive....big eyed....no longer can even stomach to listen to him.
Understood. He puts himself out there. Like Don. When Faux News fires you for asking the right questions... I respect that.
You can rag on me all you want and I will laugh because here is a critical comment Tucka(et. al) makes: "We have been under a coup since Nov 1963."
Five years ago I would have laughed at this, but after declassification of several records brought to us by Tucka and Mike Benz... And Curt Weldon... And many other analomies that are suspect at best... I appreciate his questions and comments even if some of them are wrong. He is not an idiot.
Our IC is still far from being cleansed of those who are literal enemies of our country.
Like a broken watch, Tucker may get it right a couple of times, but he has gotten delusionally high off his own exhaust, and it has steered him into dangerous waters as a result. The hubristic and borderline crazy inanities he is spewing of late will do him no favors.
He is wronger than wrong in his current stance, on so many levels and in so many ways, it is astonishing, but he either can’t see it, or doesn’t want to see it.
It may take massive doses of humility to bring him down off his lofty perch and back to reality, but in the meantime, the country under President will move forward without him.
Trust Tucker listeners to have a brain (like Danimal28); we're capable of filtering out the current diatribe, as we know Tucker has been right *almost* as often as Rush used to be. This will pass as it becomes clear that DJT hasn't abandoned his principles.
I respectfully disagree, especially where Bannon and/or Tucka is concerned. They push limits and that is exactly what we need imho.
I don't like Alex Jones, but he reads government think-tank papers and talks about them; he read reports of an imminent terror attack by Osama Bin Laden in the summer of 2001 and it happened.
There are reasons Tucker was fired from Fox and Jones has been sued FOR A BILLION DOLLARS for exercising his 1A rights: they get too close to exposing the very powerful Deep State.
Five years ago I laughed at Jones, then the Covid Scamdemic happened...
"Our IC is still far from being cleansed of those who are literal enemies of our country."
Does that include Trump appointed head-honcho Tulsi Gabbard who contradicted Trump's assessment of the Iran threat and went on the record saying Iran was more than a year away for a nuclear bomb?
Netanyahu also contradicted this timing within his recent interview. Is the threat immediate or is it more than a year away? Israel desperately wants decisive aggression towards Iran right now and Trump appears to be ignoring his cabinet and extended supporters to support Netanyahu. Why?
These contradictions in light of Trump's new-found aggression are concerning and damaging to the cause.
Tucker made a mistake doing the interview with Bannon. He was childish, self-aggrandizing, and needlessly personal in his attacks of former Fox News hosts, (ie) Mark Levin. Levin deserves his share of criticism - more NEOCON than MAGA - but repeatedly making fun of his voice and on-air delivery reduced Carlson to half the man I thought he was.
The only involvement necessary for the US is to blow up Iran's Fordow facility. Buried 300 feet deep, only America's largest penetrator, the MOP, and only deliverable by the B-2, can reach the depth necessary to neutralize that facility. Take it out and send Bibi the bill.
Just kidding about a bill. We and the rest of the civilized world owe Israel a huge debt of gratitude.
There are a lot of dominos to this game in Iran. Their defeat will impact many other countries and their plans for good or evil. The Trumpster thinks bigger than most and some of these falling dominos are only seen by the Trumpster until they fall.
Is there any doubt Trump is a revolutionary? His revolution is a five level chess game simultaneously played on multiple tables. His desperate panicked detractors are those who can't play beginner chess and those with financial and ideological cows being gored. *** How revolutionary is he? How much different is he than prior leaders, even Trump One? Fifty-eight years ago this month (June 5 - June 11, 1967) Israel decisively defeated its surrounding Arab neighbors in the Six Day War. They left the Arab governments in place. Then Jimmy Carter betrayed the Shah of Iran in 1979 to allow the establishment of Iran, the Terror State. Entrenched Lefty bureaucrats in the CIA, USAID and State Department have all undermined Israel ever since. Obama and Biden even sent pallets of cash to Iran, i.e., financially supported Iran's Death to America and Israel terrorism. Trump Two cleaned house at CIA, USAID, and State which set the stage for what we are watching today. Unlike 1967, the Israelis will change a government after its victory. Unlike 1979, Trump's America will not betray the people of Iran and the region. *** Answering the question, "How big a revolution are we watching?" Israel's former enemies, its neighboring Arab states, are now assisting Israel and supporting the removal of the Persian terrorist regime that has plagued the entire region.
You would think the Dems would see this too and get on board probably with the intent to steal as much of the success as they can. They are so far out of sync with world events it has to be on purpose. Fetterman seems to get it but he stands alone.
You are correct to equate the Founders and Trump. The Founders had studied philosophy and history. They envisioned a future radically different than anything previously existing. They carried out the implementation of their revolutionary ideas to create America. Trump's education in philosophy and history came from the School of Hard Knocks. He has created what he hopes is the modern version of Founding Fathers. He has surrounded himself with others graduates of Hard Knocks and survivors of government abuse with an eye to replicate revolutionary changes in political governance. A major difference between Founders and Trump Team Two is that technological advances drive the Trump revolution into a worldwide revolution.
“ He even killed General Salami and that’s no baloney. It was a cold cut.”
Classic Surberism! What a great way to start the day!
Ditto, ditto. Took the words out of my mouth. Humor is a gift from God and Don Surber is a master of it.
Beat me to it! Best line of the post!
And there were so many. A perfect summing up of where we are. Ambassador Huckabee’s letter to the Boss struck straight to my heart. Another genius appointment from the felon. As for me, myself and I, having always trusted him to act for America I love him ‘ more than yesterday, less than tomorrow.’

Hmmm , never would have guessed that one 🤔🙄 . Good one sir !

Classic Subwayism

You said it all with wit and decorum so thank you Poca-Man.
Dittos to you,J.W. I cried too.
Beautifully stated. It’s a gift to turn off the chattering masses and listen to the divine messenger. I cried too. President Trump has a mission.
06/18/25: Ambassador Huckabee is far more eloquent than I ever anticipated that he could be. Dividends from Butler PA continue flowing... I ignored Musk. And I'm ignoring Tucker. Both have done great things in the past and are certainly entitled to make mistakes once in a while without CNN declaring a $#&^%$!! stock dividend. Sailing on...
Another I didn't see coming ; or maybe Tucker had me fooled to begin with . Whatever ; he and Candace Owens appear to have changed lanes .
Whatever God tells the Donald aka Superman to do, I am behind him 110%, always have been always will.

So what if Trump is wrong? Iran has a couple of more big holes in the ground. Who cares. But what if Tucker is wrong? ...
Big jobs take special big people. The Trumpster is a special big person.
Bigly so.
I have to admit I haven’t followed the devo- evolution of Tucker. Last time I heard him he was sane. As for his pal Candy, never listened to her so IDK.

Classic Surber analogy: He has his ducks in a row as one might expect from a leader named Donald.
they're all in the barrel for sure. president trump was definitely paying attention at the wharton school of business during any classes on the art of war by sun tzu.
…which brings me to Duck Soup and “who will support Iran now…” Hail, hail Fredonia…Marx Brothers fans will get the reference.
We're a dying breed, Captain Spaulding.
clever repartee mr. tzed.
Thank you.
Well done.
I missed that until you isolated it for me. Thanks. 😆
Yes, a good one.

I do have to admit, though, that as a lifelong student of history, I wish our CIA had one-tenth of the competence of Mossad.
Mossad has been honed by the knowledge that any mistake could be Israel's last. It "concentrates the mind wonderfully."
iron mike tyson's warning: "everyone has a plan...until they get punched in the mouth".
Yeah, well. That goes for our side, too.
no question about it which is why we are fortunate to have trump instead of macron.....or harris.
The mere mention makes my hair stand on end.
Since the CIA has been targeting American citizens instead of foreign malefactors of late, be grateful for its incompetence! I am.
From what I’ve read, his offspring are just as evil as the ayatollah is. So maybe, like Hunter did, they are running the auto pen.
or just running. one can be evil yet still be pragmatic.
And the balls. Mossad's got them in spades.
AMEN !!!
Has anyone heard from Valerie Jarrett? (Note: The Obama Presidential Library has not been bombed, it just looks like it has)
I know for sure I did not do it. I was either at the beauty shop or the eye doctor! Pinkie Swear!
When someone denies something they weren’t accused of …
Iranian born, Chicago slumlord, ValJar has been quiet. Who knows what her one track mind is conjuring up?
"One Big Ass Mistake" is Surber-speak for Barry Solerto.....and history will condemn our national attempt at suicide in '04 and in'12......
But as "Big Ass Mistake" as Obama was (and is), do you ever remember talking with your Conservative friends saying.
"Boy, do I wish John McCain were President."????
Or, "Man, if only Mitt Romney had won."????
I hate Republicans. I vote Republican. Holding my nose.
I hate Rinos but at least the R party includes Conservatives. As we know, the Party of Political Violence - Democrats - haven’t allowed anything close to a “blue dog” to run, let alone win, an office in a half century.
I am a single issue voter. Abortion.
If you support the imaginary "right of the mother" to murder her unborn baby, I am not voting for you.
James, I agree with one addition, the second amendment to thr US Constirion must be upheld and respected.
Thou Shalt Not Kill....once a life is formed, it's a life at any stage. To tell young women that if they "make a mistake" they can just run to an abortionist because it's a blob is a sin in itself. Look at your beloved child and think about that. What if....there are no "rights" to kill anyone.
The R party sure needs to get in line and support Trump's BBB. I too hate what it will do to the debt but there's lots of positive stuff in it that needs to be made permanent and time is running out.
..and the alternative to it, should it not pass, will be horrific.
Don mentioned Bob Corker as a RINO. Bob was a good mayor of Chattanooga and was, for a while a good Senator for Tennessee.

Yep
Well , I can argue that I voted for the lesser of two evils . Why doesn't that make me feel any better ? Talk about keeping one's ego in check !
Karl Rove was a key figure behind RINO candidates McCain and Romney, and gentleman loser, Bob Dole before then.
It nauseates me that FOX still features Karl Rove. He is the poster boy for RINO failure.
Even though he was a vet which we thank, I voted for him as a very cringe vote.
You knocked it out of the park this morning. Great column Don.
Thank you for staying the course.

Send Dr. Surber to interview the replacements for those two.

Tucker Qatarson, he and Candace sold their souls.
How 'bout them Israelis!? Could we subcontract DoD to them?
A world without the beardies in Tehran would be incredibly refreshing. Terrorism wouldn't disappear completely, of course, but without the flow of guns and money from Iran, the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis would be reduced from a major menace to a minor annoyance.

Respectfully, buddy.
Trump has earned immense credibility in foreign policy (and domestic!). His ability to see the big picture is unmatched, and he has access to information that pundits don’t. Tucker should understand this, whatever his biases.
I agree, but I am always wary of the Blob misinforming the president; there is a shadow government that makes their money by war.
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s DNI Director, got thoroughly dissed by PDT recently, for spewing more IC nonsense.
That should tell you something.
I was very surprised that Tulsi was selected for that job.
I’m having my doubts. Why wouldn’t she share her concerns in private. Now she looks like Nikki Haley.
Chosen to piss off the former mis-administration ??//No fly list.
I think that was 4D chess, spatting with Tulsi while trying to out the IC.
ODNI is on a different page than who she oversee's(CIA, et al)?! That wasn't her choice. The Blob.
Don’t agree.
She got played.
He put her in her place - deliberately and publicly.
True, but Trump takes all that into account. I hope he gets it all worked out.
I listened to Jesse Kelly last night. He is great at bluntly teaching how communists think and behave. Anyway, he was warning people not to let this issue splinter MAGA, making the case that there are good arguments on both sides.

From what I know Tucka hasn't been wrong that often and if he is he admits it. We all have a perch.
Perhaps, but his perch is national and beyond, hence carries weight and great responsibility.
He said some deeply incendiary things in his rant with Bannon, many of which were beyond outrageous, and uses his platform to do so.
He’s been drinking from a polluted fountain.
Trust Tucker listeners to have a brain (like Danimal28); we're capable of filtering out the current diatribe, as we know Tucker has been right *almost* as often as Rush used to be. This will pass as it becomes clear that DJT hasn't abandoned his principles.

There are reasons Tucker was fired from Fox and Jones has been sued FOR A BILLION DOLLARS for exercising his 1A rights: they get too close to exposing the very powerful Deep State.
Five years ago I laughed at Jones, then the Covid Scamdemic happened...
"Our IC is still far from being cleansed of those who are literal enemies of our country."
Does that include Trump appointed head-honcho Tulsi Gabbard who contradicted Trump's assessment of the Iran threat and went on the record saying Iran was more than a year away for a nuclear bomb?
Netanyahu also contradicted this timing within his recent interview. Is the threat immediate or is it more than a year away? Israel desperately wants decisive aggression towards Iran right now and Trump appears to be ignoring his cabinet and extended supporters to support Netanyahu. Why?
These contradictions in light of Trump's new-found aggression are concerning and damaging to the cause.
Tucker made a mistake doing the interview with Bannon. He was childish, self-aggrandizing, and needlessly personal in his attacks of former Fox News hosts, (ie) Mark Levin. Levin deserves his share of criticism - more NEOCON than MAGA - but repeatedly making fun of his voice and on-air delivery reduced Carlson to half the man I thought he was.
I used to enjoy his insights, but quit watching hims some time ago.
I know what you mean. I was surprised by his diatribe.
The only involvement necessary for the US is to blow up Iran's Fordow facility. Buried 300 feet deep, only America's largest penetrator, the MOP, and only deliverable by the B-2, can reach the depth necessary to neutralize that facility. Take it out and send Bibi the bill.
Just kidding about a bill. We and the rest of the civilized world owe Israel a huge debt of gratitude.
There are a lot of dominos to this game in Iran. Their defeat will impact many other countries and their plans for good or evil. The Trumpster thinks bigger than most and some of these falling dominos are only seen by the Trumpster until they fall.
Is there any doubt Trump is a revolutionary? His revolution is a five level chess game simultaneously played on multiple tables. His desperate panicked detractors are those who can't play beginner chess and those with financial and ideological cows being gored. *** How revolutionary is he? How much different is he than prior leaders, even Trump One? Fifty-eight years ago this month (June 5 - June 11, 1967) Israel decisively defeated its surrounding Arab neighbors in the Six Day War. They left the Arab governments in place. Then Jimmy Carter betrayed the Shah of Iran in 1979 to allow the establishment of Iran, the Terror State. Entrenched Lefty bureaucrats in the CIA, USAID and State Department have all undermined Israel ever since. Obama and Biden even sent pallets of cash to Iran, i.e., financially supported Iran's Death to America and Israel terrorism. Trump Two cleaned house at CIA, USAID, and State which set the stage for what we are watching today. Unlike 1967, the Israelis will change a government after its victory. Unlike 1979, Trump's America will not betray the people of Iran and the region. *** Answering the question, "How big a revolution are we watching?" Israel's former enemies, its neighboring Arab states, are now assisting Israel and supporting the removal of the Persian terrorist regime that has plagued the entire region.
PDJT has been given a foresight seen only by our founding fathers and how coincidental is this??
You would think the Dems would see this too and get on board probably with the intent to steal as much of the success as they can. They are so far out of sync with world events it has to be on purpose. Fetterman seems to get it but he stands alone.
You are correct to equate the Founders and Trump. The Founders had studied philosophy and history. They envisioned a future radically different than anything previously existing. They carried out the implementation of their revolutionary ideas to create America. Trump's education in philosophy and history came from the School of Hard Knocks. He has created what he hopes is the modern version of Founding Fathers. He has surrounded himself with others graduates of Hard Knocks and survivors of government abuse with an eye to replicate revolutionary changes in political governance. A major difference between Founders and Trump Team Two is that technological advances drive the Trump revolution into a worldwide revolution.
It's extremely rare ; look to Mount Rushmore and add Benjamin Franklin to the group .
Had to go with Macron. Castreau is no longer relevant
I had to go with the untiniest person in the list....Stacey...
Me too. I thought the most ironic answer was the best.
