I don't really care what other people lime or don't like on the right side. If a person can't vote AGAINST the Democrats and their insanity and their call to trade our freedom for the safety of their cult, good riddance. I voted FOR Trump 2024. I will vote AGAINST Democrats because I'm afraid to even have grandchildren come into this hellhole the Dems want for my children. If citizens can't hold their nose and do that, I guess we all deserve what's coming and it is coming.
This is how I think, too. My husband and I are young Genxers so I am not worried about us much and I know we raised our boys (men now) correctly, but i can't imagine what this place will look like in 20 years and that's terrifying.
I think people your age should be extremely worried about your future under a socialist/Marxist government. Two decades of heavy spending on “identity”-based social programs would leave the government bankrupt, the economy in tatters, private property (possibly) abolished. It’s hard enough to be old; being old AND impoverished is no way to live out the last years of your life!
Well, I reckon I'll be siding with the people who have the ship construction, naval bases, Fort Knox even if it's probably empty, the food, the fuel, the guns, the ammo, and the good sense God gave a goose.
My family line tends to expire before 70, my husband and I have been married 30 years, so at this point, we turn worry into preparedness and leave it at that
I'm 78. My wife and I have a relatively short runway left, so I think we'll get through.
My beautiful grandkids? I fear deeply about their future.
I never in a million years would've dreamed this situation, never. I'm a Dinah Shore American:: "America is the greatest land of all!" (But, I've never owned a Chevy )
I think it predates COVID and George Floyd, though I think Floyd revved it up.
I'm not confident it's fixable. The split is too deep and wide and the malefactors live and move freely among us and are supported by the Democrat party.
I saw it coming 35-40 years ago and have been getting the word out ever since. It's a slog because leftists run everything and for most of that time Republicans were too "proper" to get down and dirty (and I'm NOT talking about breaking the law -that's the Democrat's domain) in this fight and/or they were selfish and just wanted to make their money and live their lives. Christians decided to "just stick to the spiritual stuff" and not get involved in all that icky secular stuff (school boards, city councils, etc.).
SS will be the first thing cancelled when DSA takes power, except for aliens, birth legal and illegal. The wisdom of older generations will be discarded. Think of all that money at stake and current workers are paying for it. They can’t think beyond the next five minutes. Take out all the seniors and then finish the new islamic Bolshevik revolution.
I completely understand how you feel. I will vote against whatever lunatic the Dems put up. But I also think it's a problem that JD is friends with a man who wants Trump removed from office and regularly spreads pro-Islam propaganda. Tucker is on the crazy train and he will drag JD down with him. The media mostly ignore Tucker's crazy ramblings now but they will be resurrected and tied around JD's neck if he becomes the nominee.
Exactly, The next few elections are against Socialism / Communism and not for any single issue on the right. The DSA has captured the Democratic Party. I always thought I was a moderate who could vote right or left in a given election and for certain candidates. That is why I am an independent. But there is nothing I can ever vote for from the DSA contingent. I agree with them on nothing. So I am voting AGAINST the DSA in the future
Right Brandy. We are on Team Defense and whatever it takes to win this game, many of us would crawl over broken glass to Vote Red for no other reason. Grandmother of 10 with a great grandson arriving likely tomorrow. If you think you are fierce as a mom…just wait.
Your will wake up in November to the beginning of Trump's public political defenestration thru the Impeachment processes that will negatively effect his health. The Democratic midterm mandate's most important charge is to stress Trump out, wear Trump down and lock Trump up one way or another. He's 80, obese and diapered. The cherry on top of a Democratic midterm victory would be Trump resigning for "health reasons"
That's the most hilarious thing I've read in a long time. He's never going to jail, he doesn't gaf if he loses the midterms or wins. It literally requires 2/3 of both houses to remove him, he doesn't have to be called in to talk to Congress, and he doesn't care about other people like that. He will just replace them. Kinda need to study up on the political system, don't cha? Sounds like a bunch of cocky crap Dems said right before Biden faceplanted and the floor was wiped with them. #voteredifyahaveahead
As a Jew I am not obligated to vote for the party of Tucker Carlson. I supported Trump in the past, did nothing to deserve this wave of vicious hatred from my own side but now I am expected to fall in line for a guy who regularly platforms Nazis who hate me for existing, and who got up at Charlie Kirk’s funeral and insinuated the Jews killed him. Enough. I am not falling in line. Any party that has Tucker in it is not my party. Good luck in 2028.
As a Jew, I can confidently say that no Jew can vote for the Jew-hatred of the modern Democrat Party. Tucker Carlson claims to no longer be a Republican, but, whether or not Carlson is a Republican, I cannot see how that could, or should, affect my vote in 2028.
As for J.D. Vance, he's a smart guy, but not as smart as he thinks. I tend to doubt that he believes what Tucker Carlson believes, but Vance is trying to be all things to all people, and that strategy is difficult to successfully make work. J.D. is likely to find that he will be required to make choices in 2028.
The one thing J.D. Vance has going for him is that the 2028 presidential election like almost all elections, is binary. Vote for Vance, if he's the presidential candidate, or don't vote at all; the party of Zohran Mamdani, Abdul el-Sayed, Hasan Piker, AOC exemplifies today's Democrat Party and that's not an option under any scenario.
I’m not a republican. But I have no other party to vote for. I damn sure wouldn’t vote for the communistic Democrat party. But as far as I’m concerned, the vast majority of the Republicans in both houses are not worth a shit. They’re not.
It's been that way since my first vote for Trump (well, almost - I didn't like him as a person and didn't know what to expect) and my vote for Reagan (especially his first term, not so much his second). Other than that, it's been "lesser of two evils".
This is the same for me. I've never been affiliated with any political party, and I used to mostly vote Dem. Since about 2008, that changed. I will not be enthusiastically voting Republican, but I will do that because I really don't see any other sane choice.
How many Electoral College votes did Ross Perot get? There are always 3rd- and 4th-party choices, but they are, at best, spoilers and win never win. The last third-party presidential candidate to win Electoral College votes was George Wallace in 1968. Presidential elections are binary.
Perot got no EV, but he got 18%, which allowed Clinton to win with 43%. Wallace did get EV, and so did a few others in the past, without affecting the winner. Tucker would be happy to be a spoiler to put AOC in the WH.
It's called history. Ain't going to happen. All that is is silly wishful thinking. We don't always get the best choice but this choice is so clear has to be ridiculous to even discuss. A vote for islamist anti-semitic communist is a vote for your own death. Suit yourself
Maybe there will be. But that person will lose, and all the votes for that person will not choose a winner except by default. The choice is binary. Anything other than that is fooling yourself.
It’s FAR from a foregone conclusion that JD will be the nominee in ‘28!
#1. ONLY FOUR VPs have won the presidency directly after serving as VP.
#2. If JD doesn’t correct his antisemitic overtones, do we really believe that DJT, WHO HAS JEWISH GRANDCHILDREN (and daughter) won’t back a different successor?
#3. MARCO has been performing magnificently and has ALL the statesmanship and clever humor of Reagan, plus a lot more maturity than JD has. Personally as a Jewish MAGA voter since 2016, I’m hoping for a RUBIO-DESANTIS ticket (Rubio can declare DC or VA as his domicile)
Yes, in fact I CAN, UnderDog. Below are just two of the examples. Others exist. Took about one second of a query on AI. You might try it some time so you can learn something:
Response to an antisemitically framed question: At a 2025 Turning Point USA event, a student questioned U.S. support for Israel while claiming Judaism “openly supports the prosecution” of Christianity. Vance discussed America First alliances, theological differences, and Trump’s leverage over Israel without explicitly calling out the antisemitic premise (Jews/Judaism as persecutors of Christians). Critics, including in The Atlantic, said this treated a classic inversion as a legitimate query.
Israel/Epstein comments: On Joe Rogan, Vance said Jeffrey Epstein “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence” (and American), while noting no documents confirm it and linking Epstein more to left-of-center Israeli elements. He has accused elements in the Israeli government of trying to undermine U.S. Iran diplomacy/influence campaigns. Some Jewish outlets and commentators called these unproven claims that play into control/influence tropes.
If you really want to know what Vance thinks, you will likely have to ask him yourself during your many hours of talking and years hanging around with him. Otherwise, you are relying on other people with agendas to tell you what to think.
I like a RUBIO//HUCKABEE-SANDERS ticket. Vance does not have enough experience (breadth or depth) to fend off the wolves. And the problem is, he doesn’t even realize that.
I completely understand the antipathy for Carlson. He’s lost me as well.
I don’t understand how that antipathy translates to voting for a party that embraces abortion (now beyond birth), genital mutilation of children, open borders, BLM (whose platform is destruction of the nuclear family and patriarchy…), euthanasia, Medicare for All (which opens the door further for state mandates over individual health care decisions…), an education system bent on the destruction of individual agency, amplifying the social conditions of our cities to being open air prisons, looting the treasury for the climate control fraud that is a proven scourge to the environment, etc.
Why?
Because your feelings are hurt by Tucker Carlson of all people? Carlson’s busy lighting matches after pouring gasoline over himself. This may come as a shock, maybe even news to you, but JD’s biggest sponsors were and are Jews.
Buck up buttercup and look around.
The Democrats do not see Judaism (which they conflate as Zionism) in their future. Just look at their newfound embrace of Islam and Communism.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
There’s ample strangeness out there.
Some are already telling you they want to kill you. Believe them.
I don't think that most of the comments are saying that they will vote for an unarguably worse Dem party, its about Vance who isn't even running yet. My concerns over him aren't stopping me from voting GOP this fall.
This is a diversion to make us think Dems are winning and Repubs arefalling apart, to next election is not President, its in several weeks, look at their candidates: Communists!!
Lot of spoiler bots out there trying to disillusion the right. There is too much money on the line to avoid negative influences. You just have to ignore them.
I feel the same. I don't care if JD Vance is friends with Tucker, but I do care if he won't disavow his views and make them clear they are not his views.
I think the party would do much better with Marco Rubio at this point.
The problem is while I don't want to vote for the party of Tucker Carlson I also don't want to vote for the party that is 100% for Hamas. I'm wondering if it is starting to feel like 1939 for us.
I like both. Don't believe Tucker has political power of yore. Trump has willingly expended Amerivan blood and billions of $ worth of munitions running parallel attacks with IAF against Iran. What he does is what counts.
That's the same game they played with David Duke. They don't have an obligation to denounce someone who isn't in the party and doesn't even support it. Denouncing people is really bad. Put out your message and do it well, gain votes by attraction.
Right and this election is not for President. Sleazy media are 24hours a day, divert, lie, smokescreen and always on offense, get off your Keester and start campaigning,,,remember vote by mail is so easy to steal.
Tucker is NOT the Republican party. I think he left it, anyway. So don't blame Republicans for Tucker. Vote, and vote red like your life depends upon it, because it does. The Democrats want to impose communism and destroy the country. They hate everyone. They are evil. It's not even close.
He clearly stated that he does not agree with Tucker on many things and issues. Does he have to call for his head or seek to imprison him in order to meet your standard of "disavowing" him? Disavow is to repudiate..... aka not agree, reinforce or espouse his speech/actions.
Tucker is no longer a Republican. And I wouldn't base my support, or lack thereof, based on just one individual in a party. Especially when the other party wants to dismantle our Republic, at best.
NO Republican candidate NEEDS to "denounce" him, except in your mind....why are you so "denounce-y"?....what's the attraction? What wounded place in your soul is salved by denouncing people? You gonna organize a Chairman Mao struggle session to oust Tucker, or something?....
What would an acceptable denunciation include in your mind? Should Tucker be imprisoned? Should he be shot? Or is it safe to say you disagree with him?
It is not so easy. Tucker is a power-seeking Media guy, but a lot of his audience votes Republican, at least some of the time, if Tucker tells them to. They also vote Democrat if Tucker tells them to. Tucker has a very large audience. Trump has the clout to denounce Tucker, but I doubt very many others do.
Exactly. Folks that won't vote Republican because the candidates aren't perfect should think hard about the alternative. I'm not a Republican, nor am I a democrat, but deciding to keep Republicans/conservatives in office rather than the straight-up demons the left is fielding is a no-brainer
Platner is a Nazi and a communist. And a rapist. And a "Democrat". Who is/are the Republican Nazi's? Have you read DSAs platform? I suggest you do. If you want a Republic, and not communism and Islam, you may want to vote, and obviously not for the unhinged, demonic left. But do whatever you want. I'm fortified in Florida and know that God is control, regardless.
The problem is that it is an either or. One of the two sides will win the election. I just don't know what to do. I can't vote for the left, but the right is no great shakes either at the moment.
The GOP has a few that can prove capable and attrative to a lot more independants. And independats are the ones who decide elections.
The socialists have yet to have a record on how they run things. It can be assumed they will be worse than the "regular" Dems. What may be the best that happens to this country is put more of elect a few more of them and let them tank themselves. Bases are not relevent in deciding elections. Only none partisans.
That's just dumb. It's a binary choice. Put on your big boy pants and vote for the least worst person, if that's how you see it. For me, the Democrats want to destroy the country and impose communism and it's pure madness to let them do it. And the Democrats hate Jews! Most Republicans support Jewish people and the state of Israel. Tucker is one man. You really are cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Tucker can call himself a Republican or a ballerina or a mosquito or whatever. That does not make it so. I personally am not acquainted with any Republican who thinks that Tucker is on a good trajectory these days. He does not speak for the Republican party.
Tucker left the Republican Party awhile ago. He’s no conservative & he’s certainly not MAGA. He’s a phony & a liar. He’s taken up with MTG & Massie to name a few other phonies. I don’t believe any of them are a threat. I’m watching Vance, his not speaking up when Tucker calls for Trump’s impeachment & his support of El Said is troubling. He can do that without breaking up a friendship. I will not have a problem with voting for Rubio if he runs.
Tell me how The Go Team Gaza,support the Muslims-kill the Jews leftists fit in your voting plans. Most republicans I know don’t support Tucker or Owens and aren’t anti semitic. But I would hope a lot of fed up
liberals will vote common sense and keep that vile anti American sentiment beat down. Between MSM, social media and indoctrination in schools our country has no future that is bright. But if we can get enuff Mondami NYC and Newsom California lunacy destruction proclaimed and even experienced, voters may be persuaded to support sanity. 🙏🏼for the midterms
Are you serious or are you a troll? Tucker's a freakazoid. I don't really care what party he belongs to, he can belong to the silly party for all I care. I'm not voting for anybody based on Tucker's opinion one way or the other. I'm voting for people who will work tirelessly to dismantle the Democrat socialist anti-Semitic regime. If you can't see that then either you are a troll for the Democrats trying to sow more seeds of dissension or you're a retard. I really don't care which.
That would be one thing but JD himself has made some VERY troubling comments. In addition to which I just don’t think he has the maturity to be able to have a seasoned perspective.
Below are just two of the examples. Others exist. Took about one second of a query on AI. You might try it some time so you can learn something:
Response to an antisemitically framed question: At a 2025 Turning Point USA event, a student questioned U.S. support for Israel while claiming Judaism “openly supports the prosecution” of Christianity. Vance discussed America First alliances, theological differences, and Trump’s leverage over Israel without explicitly calling out the antisemitic premise (Jews/Judaism as persecutors of Christians). Critics, including in The Atlantic, said this treated a classic inversion as a legitimate query.
Israel/Epstein comments: On Joe Rogan, Vance said Jeffrey Epstein “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence” (and American), while noting no documents confirm it and linking Epstein more to left-of-center Israeli elements. He has accused elements in the Israeli government of trying to undermine U.S. Iran diplomacy/influence campaigns. Some Jewish outlets and commentators called these unproven claims that play into control/influence tropes.
1- I think it’s unfair to judge responses in the moment with “he should’ve said this or that…”
Vance treats EVERYONE respectfully and ridiculing the person asking questions is counterproductive if you want to win people’s alliance.
2) Epstein was close to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak who was a former Israeli military intelligence officer with Mossad-linked covert operations experience (he remained a lieutenant colonel in the reserves).
3) That the Israel government has been undermining Trump’s peace efforts is a demonstrated fact and pointing this out should not be twisted into an antisemitic trope.
We have to be very careful about these accusations of antisemitism when legitimate criticism of another nation state is expressed.
Bibi most certainly knew his actions would scuttle the MOU, he’s not stupid. These issues with the settlers has been going for a while now- Christians have been forced out of their homes and he has done nothing meaningful to stop it.
Netanyahu is expanding his borders by establishing a new security buffer - allowing settlers to do the dirty (and illegal) work. No one has stopped them. Listen to Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem:
“As for the West Bank, the situation is deteriorating constantly: almost every day there are attacks by settlers on Palestinian villages. There are now almost a thousand checkpoints; Palestinians still struggle to move about, and permits have largely been cancelled.”
To the best of my knowledge, that MOU eas between The US and Iran, and it was designed to expose the Iranian regime for what it is. Israel was never party to it, and Iran was never going to hold up it's end, anyway.
It’s true; America is in a world of hurt right now. There are many on the right that are divided. Greene and Massie seem more interested in tearing down their own side than in strengthening the country. They are trying to burn us down. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are a severe disappointment. It’s all about them.
I truly do not believe many people are thinking clearly. Either they do not understand the consequences of what they are doing, or they simply do not care. In time, those consequences will become impossible to ignore.
But we also need to step back and consider the larger picture.
If you believe in God—and I do—then you understand that America’s blessings have ultimately come from Him. Our country has been in a moral and spiritual freefall for years because we have turned our backs on God. Our laws increasingly reflect what we truly believe and what we are willing to tolerate.
We cannot expect God to continue blessing a nation that refuses to honor Him. I believe we are experiencing His judgment.
The choice before us is clear: we can continue down this destructive road, or we can repent and turn from our wicked ways. America’s deepest problem is not merely political—it is spiritual.
You know I agree and I believe that God has us in a time right now when we must learn not to make an idol of politics or any political candidate. And Republicans are known for “eating their own” when the chips are down. The path we follow should depend seriously discerning God’s will and wisdom on this election and all others. Yes stop focusing on the people and follow the policies God might want us to follow but most importantly— lean on Him and Him only for the health of our souls. I know that sounds perhaps Polly Ann-ish but fundamentally we are at true crossroads here and I’d bet on God before anybody else.
My dear 26 soon to be 27 year old son feels no trust in our govt institutions now, no trust in our true election process and no hope for being able to buy a house with his new wife. He’s got a great job. Worked so hard in college. Suffers w chronic illness but has figured out a way to manage it. So sad. But I said to him, love, God has you here now “for such a time as this.” There’s purpose in His plans for you. And as Sean Hannity is want to do when he quotes John “do not let your heart be troubled.” All that to say…give to Caesar what is Caesar’s but…to God give Him our hearts. I think I messed up that quote but most of you probably know what I’m talking about;). Thank you Sasha🙏🙏🙏
The Leftwing media, and some Republican Never Trumpers, are in a feeding frenzy over Tucker Carlson, exaggerating his influence and trying to use him as a wedge to divide Trump voters from those who favored the fading Republican Establishment. If you fall for this ruse, you are only playing into the hands of Democrats who disdain American and Israeli Jews. You are under a misapprehension that J.D. Vance is a "friend" of Tucker Carlson, when all Vance said is that nothing good will come from censoring his views.
Your efforts would be better directed toward persuading American Jews like Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's to change their opinion of Israel. Ben Cohen and Tucker Carlson talked like long lost friends in Tucker Carlson's view. I found Ben Cohen an amiable and engaging sort of that peculiar breed I call the Libertarian Liberal, in the tradition of Ralph Nader, who love small business but distrust corporations. But I do not agree with his or Tucker Carlson's opinion that Israel is the bad guy, not when Israelis were slaughtered in ways even worse than the Nazi Holocaust.
Best thing to say about Tucker Carlson is nothing. Let him fade away riding his own bad ideas. The more you pile into him, the more people are going to watch him to see what the controversy is about. Remember, you're talking about a man who claimed to be "attacked by demons" while sleeping in bed with his four dogs. If he was attacked by anything, it was fleas and ticks.
I don't think he will fade away. Tucker might even run for President himself as an Independent. He is slick and polished, and he might actually carry electoral votes.
What exactly is the dem party platform? Weak and feckless leadership? It's neutered itself on behalf of "hate Trump". The people you think are influencing something are irrelevant to most people. The whinning and perpetual hysteria are boring. Who's confused about the tragic tantrum we've been subjected to for almost 12yrs? Covid, BLM, trans...every ridiculous and absurd thing...I haven't forgotten who's responsible and I don't suspect most people with a modicum of consciousness have forgotten either.
I’m an Independent who used to vote Democrat up into Obama’s second term, where I finally woke up. I used to attend a progressive church and after Trump was elected in 2016, I woke up to progressive church too. I left the progressive church and the Democratic Party for good. I’m not a republican per se, but at this point, I would never vote for a Democrat. I cannot support that party in any way, shape or form. So, for me it doesn’t matter if JD has a friendship with Tucker, whom I disagree with and no longer listen to.
I do not believe in living in a spirit of fear. This is not from God; it’s from a dark place, that seeks our ruination. That being said, Sasha is correct in what the democrats would do if given complete power. They would come after key Trump cabinet members, surrogates, donors and organizations. American citizens too. After all, they show us with their support in keeping criminal illegal aliens in the country and they allowed Antifa to run loose, while going after pro-lifers and parents fussing at school board meetings. A wide open border with any Joe-blow walking through it. Massive child trafficking. I could go on and on.
Your comment is key. People need to read and reread that. They've stated they will come after Trump, his cabinet, his supporters and even the corporations and other entities that "bent a knee" to Trump. These are fascist totalitarians. If they ever get elected, kiss this Republic and our freedom goodbye. It will be much worse than those tyrannical years under Autopen.
Sheesh. The black pilling! Just because dip wad grifters--Carlson, Fuentes, Theo Von, Joe Rogan, to name a few--have pretended to go bat shit crazy over Iran/Israel doesn't mean the GOP will lose the midterms. Who gives a crap what Thomas Massie and MJT say? The pollsters are just another level of the grift and corruption, as are the mainstream media.
MAGA won't turnout because J.D. Vance won't denounce Tucker Carlson? Seriously? After Kirk's assassination and at least four attempts on Trump and a decade of untrammeled abuse heaped on MAGA by the media, Hollywood, the Democrats and GOPe, MAGA have become snowflakes because J.D. is friends with Tucker? It's the so-called D.C. elites, AWFLs and their soy boys who suffer from arrested development and are perpetually stuck in middle school.
Relax. The majority of American voters are sick of this constant manipulative B.S. and understand that the Democrats are corrupt to the core and determined to destroy America and turn it into a communist shit hole. If there is a wave in the midterms, it will be red.
As long as Trump is adding billions to his net worth through his businesses and not like the Obamas, Bidens, Bush’s and Clintons did by selling out Americans and skimming tens of millions off arms sales and forever wars and other treasonous actions, more power to Trump.
Preference for dictators? Get your head out of your ass. Gotta deal with the people in charge to stop the forever wars, and that includes dictators like Maduro and Zelenskyy.
Trump is a popular president. All the "crypto and related ventures" are just another part of his branding strategy. Nobody was forced to buy the meme coins, just like the billionaire was not forced to give-up his home to the Bidens for the Thanksgiving holidays during the autopen presidency.
Trump is a businessman. All presidents since Carter, with the sole exception of Reagan, have cashed in on being president during and after they were in office. Biden famously fired a Ukrainian prosecutor so his family could get a cushy million dollar deal.
You hate the man and you're envious, but that doesn't mean Trump is corrupt.
These figures raise legitimate questions about possible conflicts of interest, particularly regarding cryptocurrency, but earning money while president is not itself proof of corruption. Much of the reported amount represents business income, royalties, investment proceeds and lawsuit settlements—not necessarily net profit. Investors’ market losses also were not simply transferred to Trump. To establish corruption, there must be evidence that he misused presidential authority for personal financial benefit. This post raises questions, but it does not provide that evidence.
The question still remains, would you rather have a Democrat in office or a Republican administration?
This fight inside the Republican party is just that: inside and has nothing to do with those if us out here who are just average people. If I'm a waitress, I'm going to remember who voted for no tax on tips. If I am a momI'm going to remember who brought RFK, Jr. on board. If I am blue collar, the August jobs report is terrific. Who is fighting to destroy transgenderism and affirmative care? It's not Democrats! Right down the line, Republicans have kept their promises, promises that are saving the country. I don't give a crap about Carlson, Owens, or their infighting. Halpern is wrong.
I liked JD Vance's comments on his friendship with Tucker. A functioning democracy depends on the free exchange ideas. The rising intolerance of opposing viewpoints threatens it.
Mark Halperin doesn't "get" MAGA yet he tries to pass himself off, nauseatingly so, as some sort of MAGA/Trump expert. I posit the common man (such as myself) is paying zero attention to Candace, Tucker et al. They're clinging to the candidate who still appears sane, enamored with American values, and provides some sort of recognition of what the country used to look like and hopes it will look like that again.
I agree with you. Tucker Carlson, Megan, Kelly, and Candice Owens are so unbelievable that us common folk don't take anything they say seriously at all after their incoherent, insane, and incomprehensible 180s.
The Left is working overtime to divide Conservatives. Let’s not fall into their trap.
J.D. Vance is answering to a higher master than political power. He is a Christian. Jesus instructs his followers to love their enemy and to treat others as we would have them treat us.
J. D. is setting a much higher standard, refusing to behave as the Dems so dearly want us to behave—as they behave. They will throw anyone under the bus who interferes with their lust for power.
I’m grateful that the Trump administration works as hard as they do to rise above such small-minded divisiveness.
As far as the midterms go, Trump is the president and will be for the next two years. Winning in November means enabling him to continue on course setting this ship of state aright. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and just fixing all the damage DC has done to this country will take time - years!
It is no time to go wobbly because everything isn’t perfect already. That is a juvenile attitude. And it will take time to get our Republican Congress in order as well.
Anyone throwing in the towel now doesn’t have a clue how the real world works. And quitting is actually surrendering to this nations most dangerous enemies. This is a marathon not a sprint.
Keep the faith, stand strong and united in this extraordinary project we’ve only just begun to embark upon, to truly Make America Great Again.
I wouldn't worry too much even if the senate and house went democrat. Trump would veto most "wacky" legislation. The problem area would be if the presidency is lost in 2028. Right now I see no one on the democrat side beating Vance or Rubio, or DeSantos. Shaperio would be a threat, but he is Jewish and has little chance of gaining the nomination with the large preponderance of antisemitism in the democrat party. He supports Israel. The democrats have another problem. They are starting to go after Fetterman who I think will go the independent route and caucus with the republicans. Just an outside chance but it could be enough to keep the senate in republican hands.
If K had picked Shapiro instead of Walz (who has zero stage presence), she might have won. Probably not, but it’s way more likely. But among current Dems just being Jewish is enough: no matter what you say about events on the ground, you have that asterisk by your name. There seems to still be a lot of talk about Kamala in 28. Seems crazy to me, but here we are.
That would be a disaster. They are insane. And they would tie up Trump's last two years abusing our Constitution with endless impeachment attempts and litigation.
It was a law suit against Fox that got him fired. This must be his revenge tour. He can always move to Canada and have a little island in the Caribbean. TC is filthy rich now with clicks and controversy.
I don't really care what other people lime or don't like on the right side. If a person can't vote AGAINST the Democrats and their insanity and their call to trade our freedom for the safety of their cult, good riddance. I voted FOR Trump 2024. I will vote AGAINST Democrats because I'm afraid to even have grandchildren come into this hellhole the Dems want for my children. If citizens can't hold their nose and do that, I guess we all deserve what's coming and it is coming.
I'm ready, however it turns out. But I'm 70 and it's not gonna affect me much, at least not for long. I think I raised my kids right. I wish them luck
This is how I think, too. My husband and I are young Genxers so I am not worried about us much and I know we raised our boys (men now) correctly, but i can't imagine what this place will look like in 20 years and that's terrifying.
I think people your age should be extremely worried about your future under a socialist/Marxist government. Two decades of heavy spending on “identity”-based social programs would leave the government bankrupt, the economy in tatters, private property (possibly) abolished. It’s hard enough to be old; being old AND impoverished is no way to live out the last years of your life!
We most definitely ARE worried. Every day.
I suspect the country will break apart in those 20 years. What it looks like afterward? Depends who you side with in the divorce I imagine
Well, I reckon I'll be siding with the people who have the ship construction, naval bases, Fort Knox even if it's probably empty, the food, the fuel, the guns, the ammo, and the good sense God gave a goose.
Young GenX? My son is young GenX too. You have quite a ways to go. I think you should worry more. 😂😂😂 I would be if was in my 40’s.
My family line tends to expire before 70, my husband and I have been married 30 years, so at this point, we turn worry into preparedness and leave it at that
So are my sons.
I'm 78. My wife and I have a relatively short runway left, so I think we'll get through.
My beautiful grandkids? I fear deeply about their future.
I never in a million years would've dreamed this situation, never. I'm a Dinah Shore American:: "America is the greatest land of all!" (But, I've never owned a Chevy )
Did not see this coming, even 10 years ago. I think Covid and George Floyd opened up a fault line we aren't capable of mending.
I owned a Chevy once but it was so long ago I can't remember what color it was
I think it predates COVID and George Floyd, though I think Floyd revved it up.
I'm not confident it's fixable. The split is too deep and wide and the malefactors live and move freely among us and are supported by the Democrat party.
I saw it coming 35-40 years ago and have been getting the word out ever since. It's a slog because leftists run everything and for most of that time Republicans were too "proper" to get down and dirty (and I'm NOT talking about breaking the law -that's the Democrat's domain) in this fight and/or they were selfish and just wanted to make their money and live their lives. Christians decided to "just stick to the spiritual stuff" and not get involved in all that icky secular stuff (school boards, city councils, etc.).
Me as well, also 70.
It’s funny, I’m 70 also. I think we have enough members to start a club!! 😂
I raised my kids right too, but they're TDS sufferers. I wish them luck as well.
Your kids are morally centered if they hate Trump, because no matter how you raised them, they know that you can't love America without hating Trump.
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Sarc? You can also like what he is doing and despise his mouth. I do.
So do I. If they are young, give it some time.
Are you the Steve Koenig that was in grad school in the 1970’s.
I’ve got to ask. Did you go to grad school at UK in the take 70’s
Not me, but if you were talking to someone else, they may not see your comment. Thought I should let you know.
Same here…I’m set financially and collect SSI! I do think of my son’s future. But when his wife’s parents and I kick the bucket, they’ll be set too.
SS will be the first thing cancelled when DSA takes power, except for aliens, birth legal and illegal. The wisdom of older generations will be discarded. Think of all that money at stake and current workers are paying for it. They can’t think beyond the next five minutes. Take out all the seniors and then finish the new islamic Bolshevik revolution.
I completely understand how you feel. I will vote against whatever lunatic the Dems put up. But I also think it's a problem that JD is friends with a man who wants Trump removed from office and regularly spreads pro-Islam propaganda. Tucker is on the crazy train and he will drag JD down with him. The media mostly ignore Tucker's crazy ramblings now but they will be resurrected and tied around JD's neck if he becomes the nominee.
To be clear, I dumped Tucker the day he went nuts and got stupid.
Me too.
Yeah thought I was asking Steve
I agree. it's one thing to be loyal to friends, but Carlson is actually a threat to the country!
Vance is crazy with or without Carlson.
The Guardian is over to the left sir.
This!
Exactly, The next few elections are against Socialism / Communism and not for any single issue on the right. The DSA has captured the Democratic Party. I always thought I was a moderate who could vote right or left in a given election and for certain candidates. That is why I am an independent. But there is nothing I can ever vote for from the DSA contingent. I agree with them on nothing. So I am voting AGAINST the DSA in the future
Folks like you will preserve our republic. We do NOT live in a pure democracy, aka, MOB RULE.
Right Brandy. We are on Team Defense and whatever it takes to win this game, many of us would crawl over broken glass to Vote Red for no other reason. Grandmother of 10 with a great grandson arriving likely tomorrow. If you think you are fierce as a mom…just wait.
Your will wake up in November to the beginning of Trump's public political defenestration thru the Impeachment processes that will negatively effect his health. The Democratic midterm mandate's most important charge is to stress Trump out, wear Trump down and lock Trump up one way or another. He's 80, obese and diapered. The cherry on top of a Democratic midterm victory would be Trump resigning for "health reasons"
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho
And just as a cherry on top, please let it happen. I can't wait for Vance. Idiots 😂
That's the most hilarious thing I've read in a long time. He's never going to jail, he doesn't gaf if he loses the midterms or wins. It literally requires 2/3 of both houses to remove him, he doesn't have to be called in to talk to Congress, and he doesn't care about other people like that. He will just replace them. Kinda need to study up on the political system, don't cha? Sounds like a bunch of cocky crap Dems said right before Biden faceplanted and the floor was wiped with them. #voteredifyahaveahead
So, you think the Republicans party is going to win majorities in both the House and Senate in 48 days? 🤔
What's it like being a fascist and a communist? You and your ilk are not welcome here.
And yet. We're here. 😁
Elections are fake. Identifying yourself by who you voted for is sad.
Not my identity, definitely my concern. You do you tho.
As a Jew I am not obligated to vote for the party of Tucker Carlson. I supported Trump in the past, did nothing to deserve this wave of vicious hatred from my own side but now I am expected to fall in line for a guy who regularly platforms Nazis who hate me for existing, and who got up at Charlie Kirk’s funeral and insinuated the Jews killed him. Enough. I am not falling in line. Any party that has Tucker in it is not my party. Good luck in 2028.
As a Jew, I can confidently say that no Jew can vote for the Jew-hatred of the modern Democrat Party. Tucker Carlson claims to no longer be a Republican, but, whether or not Carlson is a Republican, I cannot see how that could, or should, affect my vote in 2028.
As for J.D. Vance, he's a smart guy, but not as smart as he thinks. I tend to doubt that he believes what Tucker Carlson believes, but Vance is trying to be all things to all people, and that strategy is difficult to successfully make work. J.D. is likely to find that he will be required to make choices in 2028.
The one thing J.D. Vance has going for him is that the 2028 presidential election like almost all elections, is binary. Vote for Vance, if he's the presidential candidate, or don't vote at all; the party of Zohran Mamdani, Abdul el-Sayed, Hasan Piker, AOC exemplifies today's Democrat Party and that's not an option under any scenario.
I’m not a republican. But I have no other party to vote for. I damn sure wouldn’t vote for the communistic Democrat party. But as far as I’m concerned, the vast majority of the Republicans in both houses are not worth a shit. They’re not.
Seems like we often vote for the lesser of two evils
It's been that way since my first vote for Trump (well, almost - I didn't like him as a person and didn't know what to expect) and my vote for Reagan (especially his first term, not so much his second). Other than that, it's been "lesser of two evils".
It is always a weighted game. Politicians are useless, but some are more useless or even more harmful than others.
I agree.
Try always. In my lifetime anyway (I'm 57).
Politicians are what you say they are. But the choice is binary. Failing to make a choice gives your choice to others.
This is the same for me. I've never been affiliated with any political party, and I used to mostly vote Dem. Since about 2008, that changed. I will not be enthusiastically voting Republican, but I will do that because I really don't see any other sane choice.
How do you know there won't be a Ross Perot-like 3rd choice in 2028?
How many Electoral College votes did Ross Perot get? There are always 3rd- and 4th-party choices, but they are, at best, spoilers and win never win. The last third-party presidential candidate to win Electoral College votes was George Wallace in 1968. Presidential elections are binary.
Perot got no EV, but he got 18%, which allowed Clinton to win with 43%. Wallace did get EV, and so did a few others in the past, without affecting the winner. Tucker would be happy to be a spoiler to put AOC in the WH.
It's called history. Ain't going to happen. All that is is silly wishful thinking. We don't always get the best choice but this choice is so clear has to be ridiculous to even discuss. A vote for islamist anti-semitic communist is a vote for your own death. Suit yourself
Maybe there will be. But that person will lose, and all the votes for that person will not choose a winner except by default. The choice is binary. Anything other than that is fooling yourself.
It’s FAR from a foregone conclusion that JD will be the nominee in ‘28!
#1. ONLY FOUR VPs have won the presidency directly after serving as VP.
#2. If JD doesn’t correct his antisemitic overtones, do we really believe that DJT, WHO HAS JEWISH GRANDCHILDREN (and daughter) won’t back a different successor?
#3. MARCO has been performing magnificently and has ALL the statesmanship and clever humor of Reagan, plus a lot more maturity than JD has. Personally as a Jewish MAGA voter since 2016, I’m hoping for a RUBIO-DESANTIS ticket (Rubio can declare DC or VA as his domicile)
Bingo…. 🏆
What anti-semitic overtones? Could you supply a quote of Vance saying something anti-semitic?
No. You can't.
Yes, in fact I CAN, UnderDog. Below are just two of the examples. Others exist. Took about one second of a query on AI. You might try it some time so you can learn something:
Response to an antisemitically framed question: At a 2025 Turning Point USA event, a student questioned U.S. support for Israel while claiming Judaism “openly supports the prosecution” of Christianity. Vance discussed America First alliances, theological differences, and Trump’s leverage over Israel without explicitly calling out the antisemitic premise (Jews/Judaism as persecutors of Christians). Critics, including in The Atlantic, said this treated a classic inversion as a legitimate query.
Israel/Epstein comments: On Joe Rogan, Vance said Jeffrey Epstein “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence” (and American), while noting no documents confirm it and linking Epstein more to left-of-center Israeli elements. He has accused elements in the Israeli government of trying to undermine U.S. Iran diplomacy/influence campaigns. Some Jewish outlets and commentators called these unproven claims that play into control/influence tropes.
If you really want to know what Vance thinks, you will likely have to ask him yourself during your many hours of talking and years hanging around with him. Otherwise, you are relying on other people with agendas to tell you what to think.
These aren't quotes, this doesn't say anything anti-semitic, and it's taken out of context. Where's the primary source?
What's Epstein doing here?
I like a RUBIO//HUCKABEE-SANDERS ticket. Vance does not have enough experience (breadth or depth) to fend off the wolves. And the problem is, he doesn’t even realize that.
I completely understand the antipathy for Carlson. He’s lost me as well.
I don’t understand how that antipathy translates to voting for a party that embraces abortion (now beyond birth), genital mutilation of children, open borders, BLM (whose platform is destruction of the nuclear family and patriarchy…), euthanasia, Medicare for All (which opens the door further for state mandates over individual health care decisions…), an education system bent on the destruction of individual agency, amplifying the social conditions of our cities to being open air prisons, looting the treasury for the climate control fraud that is a proven scourge to the environment, etc.
Why?
Because your feelings are hurt by Tucker Carlson of all people? Carlson’s busy lighting matches after pouring gasoline over himself. This may come as a shock, maybe even news to you, but JD’s biggest sponsors were and are Jews.
Buck up buttercup and look around.
The Democrats do not see Judaism (which they conflate as Zionism) in their future. Just look at their newfound embrace of Islam and Communism.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
There’s ample strangeness out there.
Some are already telling you they want to kill you. Believe them.
I don't think that most of the comments are saying that they will vote for an unarguably worse Dem party, its about Vance who isn't even running yet. My concerns over him aren't stopping me from voting GOP this fall.
This is a diversion to make us think Dems are winning and Repubs arefalling apart, to next election is not President, its in several weeks, look at their candidates: Communists!!
Don't shake,,stop refocus.
Lot of spoiler bots out there trying to disillusion the right. There is too much money on the line to avoid negative influences. You just have to ignore them.
Perfectly said, lets all calm down remember the media is driving all this, here in a free country people go A--hole all the time.
Has there been a real investigation into all the lefties, swing and independents who are so livid from Dems that they are now Republicans?
NO,,,,,,,we here in the real, always seem to scare easily come voting season.
Stop take a breath and get out there and reach out to people and start campaigning, ITS September 6. Too Big To Rig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel the same. I don't care if JD Vance is friends with Tucker, but I do care if he won't disavow his views and make them clear they are not his views.
I think the party would do much better with Marco Rubio at this point.
The problem is while I don't want to vote for the party of Tucker Carlson I also don't want to vote for the party that is 100% for Hamas. I'm wondering if it is starting to feel like 1939 for us.
I really like Rubio. Much more than Vance
Agree 100%
I like both. Don't believe Tucker has political power of yore. Trump has willingly expended Amerivan blood and billions of $ worth of munitions running parallel attacks with IAF against Iran. What he does is what counts.
Stop spreading misinformation? Tucker is not a member of the GOP.
Then the 2028 GOP nominee should have no problem denouncing him.
Last I checked, the 2028 primary hasn’t started. JD might not even be the nominee. Keep an eye on DeSantis.
That's the same game they played with David Duke. They don't have an obligation to denounce someone who isn't in the party and doesn't even support it. Denouncing people is really bad. Put out your message and do it well, gain votes by attraction.
That answers my question. You are undoubtedly a troll.
Right and this election is not for President. Sleazy media are 24hours a day, divert, lie, smokescreen and always on offense, get off your Keester and start campaigning,,,remember vote by mail is so easy to steal.
Tucker is NOT the Republican party. I think he left it, anyway. So don't blame Republicans for Tucker. Vote, and vote red like your life depends upon it, because it does. The Democrats want to impose communism and destroy the country. They hate everyone. They are evil. It's not even close.
He clearly stated that he does not agree with Tucker on many things and issues. Does he have to call for his head or seek to imprison him in order to meet your standard of "disavowing" him? Disavow is to repudiate..... aka not agree, reinforce or espouse his speech/actions.
Tucker is no longer a Republican. And I wouldn't base my support, or lack thereof, based on just one individual in a party. Especially when the other party wants to dismantle our Republic, at best.
Tuckers not a Republican anymore. One guy does not make a party anyway.
But you do you. Vote for the democrats who March for Gaza and laud Muslims who want to destroy America and Jews.
Glad to know Tucker isn’t a Republican. It should be an easy matter, then, for any 2028 Republican candidate to denounce him.
And when we start having the 2028 election, then you can moan. But good heavens dude, let’s get through the midterms first and then have a respite.
NO Republican candidate NEEDS to "denounce" him, except in your mind....why are you so "denounce-y"?....what's the attraction? What wounded place in your soul is salved by denouncing people? You gonna organize a Chairman Mao struggle session to oust Tucker, or something?....
What would an acceptable denunciation include in your mind? Should Tucker be imprisoned? Should he be shot? Or is it safe to say you disagree with him?
It is not so easy. Tucker is a power-seeking Media guy, but a lot of his audience votes Republican, at least some of the time, if Tucker tells them to. They also vote Democrat if Tucker tells them to. Tucker has a very large audience. Trump has the clout to denounce Tucker, but I doubt very many others do.
…
Tucker Carlson is not a member of the GOP. He left in June 2026:
https://apnews.com/article/tucker-carlson-republican-party-podcast-support-2da45ec63516d0cc9f0d2ea1891839d2
So you will hand the country to El Sayed and his ilk.
Exactly. Folks that won't vote Republican because the candidates aren't perfect should think hard about the alternative. I'm not a Republican, nor am I a democrat, but deciding to keep Republicans/conservatives in office rather than the straight-up demons the left is fielding is a no-brainer
Exactly! My husband likes to quote this to me so I remain grounded in reality, “The enemy of better is best.”
“Vote for the Nazis or the communists will get in” is not a message that will get me to the polls. It is callow blackmail.
"Jason": Hilarious. Nice trolling, bot.
It doesn't mean to be said. Pay attention, you already know who they are and how they want to destroy this country and start anew.
Biden and theDems already tried and failed miserably. Was the lesson learned?
Platner is a Nazi and a communist. And a rapist. And a "Democrat". Who is/are the Republican Nazi's? Have you read DSAs platform? I suggest you do. If you want a Republic, and not communism and Islam, you may want to vote, and obviously not for the unhinged, demonic left. But do whatever you want. I'm fortified in Florida and know that God is control, regardless.
It's not an either or. Frame it that way and it becomes a loss.
The problem is that it is an either or. One of the two sides will win the election. I just don't know what to do. I can't vote for the left, but the right is no great shakes either at the moment.
The GOP has a few that can prove capable and attrative to a lot more independants. And independats are the ones who decide elections.
The socialists have yet to have a record on how they run things. It can be assumed they will be worse than the "regular" Dems. What may be the best that happens to this country is put more of elect a few more of them and let them tank themselves. Bases are not relevent in deciding elections. Only none partisans.
The choice is always binary.
What f’ing planet do you live on?!
TC is not GOP. Where else would you go Jason? The Dems are ordering the Zyklon B now.
That's just dumb. It's a binary choice. Put on your big boy pants and vote for the least worst person, if that's how you see it. For me, the Democrats want to destroy the country and impose communism and it's pure madness to let them do it. And the Democrats hate Jews! Most Republicans support Jewish people and the state of Israel. Tucker is one man. You really are cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Tucker can call himself a Republican or a ballerina or a mosquito or whatever. That does not make it so. I personally am not acquainted with any Republican who thinks that Tucker is on a good trajectory these days. He does not speak for the Republican party.
He does speak for tens of millions of voters though, and they will vote for whomever Tucker tells them to.
I hope that you are wrong on that. If that's true, the world is in even worse trouble than I thought it was.
Tucker has said he is no longer a Republican.
Tucker left the Republican Party awhile ago. He’s no conservative & he’s certainly not MAGA. He’s a phony & a liar. He’s taken up with MTG & Massie to name a few other phonies. I don’t believe any of them are a threat. I’m watching Vance, his not speaking up when Tucker calls for Trump’s impeachment & his support of El Said is troubling. He can do that without breaking up a friendship. I will not have a problem with voting for Rubio if he runs.
Good luck with the Democrats who want you dead.
Tucker Carlson is not a Republican. Trump has already told him he wasn't welcome but Tucker had already flown the coop.
That’s great to hear! I’m sure the 2028 nominee will have no problem denouncing him. Since, you know, he isn’t a Republican.
Tell me how The Go Team Gaza,support the Muslims-kill the Jews leftists fit in your voting plans. Most republicans I know don’t support Tucker or Owens and aren’t anti semitic. But I would hope a lot of fed up
liberals will vote common sense and keep that vile anti American sentiment beat down. Between MSM, social media and indoctrination in schools our country has no future that is bright. But if we can get enuff Mondami NYC and Newsom California lunacy destruction proclaimed and even experienced, voters may be persuaded to support sanity. 🙏🏼for the midterms
And God’s guidance.
Are you serious or are you a troll? Tucker's a freakazoid. I don't really care what party he belongs to, he can belong to the silly party for all I care. I'm not voting for anybody based on Tucker's opinion one way or the other. I'm voting for people who will work tirelessly to dismantle the Democrat socialist anti-Semitic regime. If you can't see that then either you are a troll for the Democrats trying to sow more seeds of dissension or you're a retard. I really don't care which.
One's friends are one's own business. That Tucker has any influence on Vance is a huge assumption. Does Vance have no influence on Tucker?
Those who demand that he publicly "stand up" to Tucker are requiring nothing short of a litmus test.
It's unnecessary, and sad.
All this hand-wringing over a commentator is utterly ridiculous.
Get over it people.
That would be one thing but JD himself has made some VERY troubling comments. In addition to which I just don’t think he has the maturity to be able to have a seasoned perspective.
I respectfully disagree.
Indeed he has.
Such as?
Below are just two of the examples. Others exist. Took about one second of a query on AI. You might try it some time so you can learn something:
Response to an antisemitically framed question: At a 2025 Turning Point USA event, a student questioned U.S. support for Israel while claiming Judaism “openly supports the prosecution” of Christianity. Vance discussed America First alliances, theological differences, and Trump’s leverage over Israel without explicitly calling out the antisemitic premise (Jews/Judaism as persecutors of Christians). Critics, including in The Atlantic, said this treated a classic inversion as a legitimate query.
Israel/Epstein comments: On Joe Rogan, Vance said Jeffrey Epstein “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence” (and American), while noting no documents confirm it and linking Epstein more to left-of-center Israeli elements. He has accused elements in the Israeli government of trying to undermine U.S. Iran diplomacy/influence campaigns. Some Jewish outlets and commentators called these unproven claims that play into control/influence tropes.
1- I think it’s unfair to judge responses in the moment with “he should’ve said this or that…”
Vance treats EVERYONE respectfully and ridiculing the person asking questions is counterproductive if you want to win people’s alliance.
2) Epstein was close to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak who was a former Israeli military intelligence officer with Mossad-linked covert operations experience (he remained a lieutenant colonel in the reserves).
3) That the Israel government has been undermining Trump’s peace efforts is a demonstrated fact and pointing this out should not be twisted into an antisemitic trope.
We have to be very careful about these accusations of antisemitism when legitimate criticism of another nation state is expressed.
Bibi most certainly knew his actions would scuttle the MOU, he’s not stupid. These issues with the settlers has been going for a while now- Christians have been forced out of their homes and he has done nothing meaningful to stop it.
Netanyahu is expanding his borders by establishing a new security buffer - allowing settlers to do the dirty (and illegal) work. No one has stopped them. Listen to Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem:
“As for the West Bank, the situation is deteriorating constantly: almost every day there are attacks by settlers on Palestinian villages. There are now almost a thousand checkpoints; Palestinians still struggle to move about, and permits have largely been cancelled.”
To the best of my knowledge, that MOU eas between The US and Iran, and it was designed to expose the Iranian regime for what it is. Israel was never party to it, and Iran was never going to hold up it's end, anyway.
It’s true; America is in a world of hurt right now. There are many on the right that are divided. Greene and Massie seem more interested in tearing down their own side than in strengthening the country. They are trying to burn us down. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are a severe disappointment. It’s all about them.
I truly do not believe many people are thinking clearly. Either they do not understand the consequences of what they are doing, or they simply do not care. In time, those consequences will become impossible to ignore.
But we also need to step back and consider the larger picture.
If you believe in God—and I do—then you understand that America’s blessings have ultimately come from Him. Our country has been in a moral and spiritual freefall for years because we have turned our backs on God. Our laws increasingly reflect what we truly believe and what we are willing to tolerate.
We cannot expect God to continue blessing a nation that refuses to honor Him. I believe we are experiencing His judgment.
The choice before us is clear: we can continue down this destructive road, or we can repent and turn from our wicked ways. America’s deepest problem is not merely political—it is spiritual.
In an atheist world….. Islam marches in with scimitars and sharia law.
Greene and Massie (and others) are on a revenge tour. One thing about Trump is he does make enemies.
You know I agree and I believe that God has us in a time right now when we must learn not to make an idol of politics or any political candidate. And Republicans are known for “eating their own” when the chips are down. The path we follow should depend seriously discerning God’s will and wisdom on this election and all others. Yes stop focusing on the people and follow the policies God might want us to follow but most importantly— lean on Him and Him only for the health of our souls. I know that sounds perhaps Polly Ann-ish but fundamentally we are at true crossroads here and I’d bet on God before anybody else.
My dear 26 soon to be 27 year old son feels no trust in our govt institutions now, no trust in our true election process and no hope for being able to buy a house with his new wife. He’s got a great job. Worked so hard in college. Suffers w chronic illness but has figured out a way to manage it. So sad. But I said to him, love, God has you here now “for such a time as this.” There’s purpose in His plans for you. And as Sean Hannity is want to do when he quotes John “do not let your heart be troubled.” All that to say…give to Caesar what is Caesar’s but…to God give Him our hearts. I think I messed up that quote but most of you probably know what I’m talking about;). Thank you Sasha🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen
Amen, Jack Walker!!🙏
Amen. Thank you.
The Leftwing media, and some Republican Never Trumpers, are in a feeding frenzy over Tucker Carlson, exaggerating his influence and trying to use him as a wedge to divide Trump voters from those who favored the fading Republican Establishment. If you fall for this ruse, you are only playing into the hands of Democrats who disdain American and Israeli Jews. You are under a misapprehension that J.D. Vance is a "friend" of Tucker Carlson, when all Vance said is that nothing good will come from censoring his views.
Your efforts would be better directed toward persuading American Jews like Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's to change their opinion of Israel. Ben Cohen and Tucker Carlson talked like long lost friends in Tucker Carlson's view. I found Ben Cohen an amiable and engaging sort of that peculiar breed I call the Libertarian Liberal, in the tradition of Ralph Nader, who love small business but distrust corporations. But I do not agree with his or Tucker Carlson's opinion that Israel is the bad guy, not when Israelis were slaughtered in ways even worse than the Nazi Holocaust.
Best thing to say about Tucker Carlson is nothing. Let him fade away riding his own bad ideas. The more you pile into him, the more people are going to watch him to see what the controversy is about. Remember, you're talking about a man who claimed to be "attacked by demons" while sleeping in bed with his four dogs. If he was attacked by anything, it was fleas and ticks.
Exactly correct. We need to ignore him to death.
I don't think he will fade away. Tucker might even run for President himself as an Independent. He is slick and polished, and he might actually carry electoral votes.
What exactly is the dem party platform? Weak and feckless leadership? It's neutered itself on behalf of "hate Trump". The people you think are influencing something are irrelevant to most people. The whinning and perpetual hysteria are boring. Who's confused about the tragic tantrum we've been subjected to for almost 12yrs? Covid, BLM, trans...every ridiculous and absurd thing...I haven't forgotten who's responsible and I don't suspect most people with a modicum of consciousness have forgotten either.
I’m an Independent who used to vote Democrat up into Obama’s second term, where I finally woke up. I used to attend a progressive church and after Trump was elected in 2016, I woke up to progressive church too. I left the progressive church and the Democratic Party for good. I’m not a republican per se, but at this point, I would never vote for a Democrat. I cannot support that party in any way, shape or form. So, for me it doesn’t matter if JD has a friendship with Tucker, whom I disagree with and no longer listen to.
I do not believe in living in a spirit of fear. This is not from God; it’s from a dark place, that seeks our ruination. That being said, Sasha is correct in what the democrats would do if given complete power. They would come after key Trump cabinet members, surrogates, donors and organizations. American citizens too. After all, they show us with their support in keeping criminal illegal aliens in the country and they allowed Antifa to run loose, while going after pro-lifers and parents fussing at school board meetings. A wide open border with any Joe-blow walking through it. Massive child trafficking. I could go on and on.
Your comment is key. People need to read and reread that. They've stated they will come after Trump, his cabinet, his supporters and even the corporations and other entities that "bent a knee" to Trump. These are fascist totalitarians. If they ever get elected, kiss this Republic and our freedom goodbye. It will be much worse than those tyrannical years under Autopen.
Sheesh. The black pilling! Just because dip wad grifters--Carlson, Fuentes, Theo Von, Joe Rogan, to name a few--have pretended to go bat shit crazy over Iran/Israel doesn't mean the GOP will lose the midterms. Who gives a crap what Thomas Massie and MJT say? The pollsters are just another level of the grift and corruption, as are the mainstream media.
MAGA won't turnout because J.D. Vance won't denounce Tucker Carlson? Seriously? After Kirk's assassination and at least four attempts on Trump and a decade of untrammeled abuse heaped on MAGA by the media, Hollywood, the Democrats and GOPe, MAGA have become snowflakes because J.D. is friends with Tucker? It's the so-called D.C. elites, AWFLs and their soy boys who suffer from arrested development and are perpetually stuck in middle school.
Relax. The majority of American voters are sick of this constant manipulative B.S. and understand that the Democrats are corrupt to the core and determined to destroy America and turn it into a communist shit hole. If there is a wave in the midterms, it will be red.
Oh for the love of Pete. Not this nonsense again.
As long as Trump is adding billions to his net worth through his businesses and not like the Obamas, Bidens, Bush’s and Clintons did by selling out Americans and skimming tens of millions off arms sales and forever wars and other treasonous actions, more power to Trump.
Preference for dictators? Get your head out of your ass. Gotta deal with the people in charge to stop the forever wars, and that includes dictators like Maduro and Zelenskyy.
Be specific about his corruption. Give some examples.
Trump is a popular president. All the "crypto and related ventures" are just another part of his branding strategy. Nobody was forced to buy the meme coins, just like the billionaire was not forced to give-up his home to the Bidens for the Thanksgiving holidays during the autopen presidency.
Trump is a businessman. All presidents since Carter, with the sole exception of Reagan, have cashed in on being president during and after they were in office. Biden famously fired a Ukrainian prosecutor so his family could get a cushy million dollar deal.
You hate the man and you're envious, but that doesn't mean Trump is corrupt.
These figures raise legitimate questions about possible conflicts of interest, particularly regarding cryptocurrency, but earning money while president is not itself proof of corruption. Much of the reported amount represents business income, royalties, investment proceeds and lawsuit settlements—not necessarily net profit. Investors’ market losses also were not simply transferred to Trump. To establish corruption, there must be evidence that he misused presidential authority for personal financial benefit. This post raises questions, but it does not provide that evidence.
The question still remains, would you rather have a Democrat in office or a Republican administration?
This fight inside the Republican party is just that: inside and has nothing to do with those if us out here who are just average people. If I'm a waitress, I'm going to remember who voted for no tax on tips. If I am a momI'm going to remember who brought RFK, Jr. on board. If I am blue collar, the August jobs report is terrific. Who is fighting to destroy transgenderism and affirmative care? It's not Democrats! Right down the line, Republicans have kept their promises, promises that are saving the country. I don't give a crap about Carlson, Owens, or their infighting. Halpern is wrong.
Exactly. All this drama is meant to divide and distract us.
I liked JD Vance's comments on his friendship with Tucker. A functioning democracy depends on the free exchange ideas. The rising intolerance of opposing viewpoints threatens it.
Amen.
It may cost JD the Republican Presidential nomination. Fortunately, we have Marco Rubio!
Mark Halperin doesn't "get" MAGA yet he tries to pass himself off, nauseatingly so, as some sort of MAGA/Trump expert. I posit the common man (such as myself) is paying zero attention to Candace, Tucker et al. They're clinging to the candidate who still appears sane, enamored with American values, and provides some sort of recognition of what the country used to look like and hopes it will look like that again.
I agree with you. Tucker Carlson, Megan, Kelly, and Candice Owens are so unbelievable that us common folk don't take anything they say seriously at all after their incoherent, insane, and incomprehensible 180s.
I have those turncoats all muted or blocked on X. Hear enough crazy from the left, don't need it from the supposed right.
Yep, much agreed, JMaryH!
The Left is working overtime to divide Conservatives. Let’s not fall into their trap.
J.D. Vance is answering to a higher master than political power. He is a Christian. Jesus instructs his followers to love their enemy and to treat others as we would have them treat us.
J. D. is setting a much higher standard, refusing to behave as the Dems so dearly want us to behave—as they behave. They will throw anyone under the bus who interferes with their lust for power.
I’m grateful that the Trump administration works as hard as they do to rise above such small-minded divisiveness.
We can change that. Stand firm.
As far as the midterms go, Trump is the president and will be for the next two years. Winning in November means enabling him to continue on course setting this ship of state aright. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and just fixing all the damage DC has done to this country will take time - years!
It is no time to go wobbly because everything isn’t perfect already. That is a juvenile attitude. And it will take time to get our Republican Congress in order as well.
Anyone throwing in the towel now doesn’t have a clue how the real world works. And quitting is actually surrendering to this nations most dangerous enemies. This is a marathon not a sprint.
Keep the faith, stand strong and united in this extraordinary project we’ve only just begun to embark upon, to truly Make America Great Again.
Core inflation now is far lower than under Biden.
I wouldn't worry too much even if the senate and house went democrat. Trump would veto most "wacky" legislation. The problem area would be if the presidency is lost in 2028. Right now I see no one on the democrat side beating Vance or Rubio, or DeSantos. Shaperio would be a threat, but he is Jewish and has little chance of gaining the nomination with the large preponderance of antisemitism in the democrat party. He supports Israel. The democrats have another problem. They are starting to go after Fetterman who I think will go the independent route and caucus with the republicans. Just an outside chance but it could be enough to keep the senate in republican hands.
If K had picked Shapiro instead of Walz (who has zero stage presence), she might have won. Probably not, but it’s way more likely. But among current Dems just being Jewish is enough: no matter what you say about events on the ground, you have that asterisk by your name. There seems to still be a lot of talk about Kamala in 28. Seems crazy to me, but here we are.
Dem elites are structuring the Primary states so Harris is their nominee. All the better for us.
That would be a disaster. They are insane. And they would tie up Trump's last two years abusing our Constitution with endless impeachment attempts and litigation.
Carlson, had the highest rated show on Fox and was kicked to the curb. Carlson had to make a living, so he reverts to grifting and click bait.
It’s easy to hate Israel. It’s easy to cowtow to Qatar and other Middle Eastern nations.
He lost all credibility many months ago.
Him supporting El Sayed is just being a clown now.
Carlson has no credibility.
I like Vance. He needs to stay away.
Tucker broke my heart.
Same.
It was a law suit against Fox that got him fired. This must be his revenge tour. He can always move to Canada and have a little island in the Caribbean. TC is filthy rich now with clicks and controversy.
