Sasha I honestly don't know much about what you're talking about. I'm conservative but I don't follow any of the people you discuss. They're not really reporters who give me what I want - news - but "influencers" who give me what I couldn't care less about, their own opinions.
Here is my take: Anyone from the so-called "right" who is antisemitic or anti-Israel can go to Hell. They are excommunicated from the GOP and anyone legitimately calling themselves "conservative". They can go vote with the satanic Democrats in every election from herein as they are surely not embracing America's ideals. I want nothing to do with the a$$holes who turn on the Israeli defenders of democracy and western ideals. We do not need their votes or support, and this includes Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, MTG and even Jewish Glenn Greenwald and Bernie Sanders, who have sold out their own people.
I have every right to criticize any religion despite being called anti semitic as Christianity often is. So fuck them. Every religion has a right to exist and be properly criticized as we like. We’re a republic and our Constitution is avowedly Christian. Not Judeo Christian. We have no reference to Jesus in our documents, just God.
Yes but what do you mean by "western ideals"? It's not a rhetorical question, as I doubt you and, for instance, Keir Starmer, would give the same answer.
So I keep it simple. I'm interested in America. "The west", including Israel, not so much. I have nothing against Israel or the rest of the west, mind, except this. For all of the past half a century, my earnings have been taxed and distributed to "the west". My hope is that my posterity will get to keep more of their money than I have been permitted to keep. "The west" (including Israel) have been a financial drain since I have been alive. The aid always flows one way. That is what interests me far more than appeals to a mythological west that has been a permanent mendicant and no longer embodies very many of the "ideals" I once thought it meant.
I too do not listen to the podcasts of any of these influencers. They tend to regurgitate they same talking points as the other podcasters. Occasionally one will be the originator of the talking point, but it's still a talking point.
I read articles like Sasha's where she gives her CLEARLY STATED opinion and the information that lead her to that opinion. From there I am given the opportunity to do my own research further into the topic if I want, and form my own opinion.
I honestly believe these so-called conservatives who are bashing the Jewish community are forgetting that Israel has ALWAYS been our ally in the middle east. They conveniently ignore the FACT that the regime in iran has been calling for "death to America" and death to Israel" for nearly 50 years. America and Israel have a common enemy in the Islamic terrorists from that part of the world. It is also my OPINION that many of these people bashing the Jewish people are simply jealous they are not as good in business as the Jews. For whatever reason they think that Jewish people having money THAT THEY EARNED is somehow a bad or evil thing.
Bottom line os many of these detractors are simply looking for clicks to boost their popularity and to stroke their egos.
Islam wants us dead. I don’t give a shit who else gets supported but these psychopaths must not get another foothold in this country. White Christian’s and Jews are hard targets for them. We must fight like hell for our own survival.
Some truth to that. Although I don't believe all Islamic people are bad, I do not want Islamic culture and beliefs to take hold in the U.S.A. because it would create even more violence and fraud than we've witnessed recently.
What is the difference between the bad Muslims and the good ones? Good ones speak out and defend their, America, country even against other Muslims. There just seems to be a dearth of good ones. Although the more appropriate answer is, we don't hear from them because the MSM is too afraid to put them on the air.,
To be a "good Muslim" is to put your life at risk, along with your family's. There are imams who will proclaim a fatwa against you as a "good Muslim". Have you noticed how Zuhdi Jasser, who used to be very public with his support for "good Muslims" has disappeared from the airwaves? Why do you think that is? There is also Ayaan Hirsi Ali, whose life is always at risk. That is what happens when you admit you are a "good Muslim" and support Israel
Anyone who attacks Israel and Jews over their defense of the Israeli homeland has aligned themselves with radical Islam. I do know Muslims who can separate their religion from our country, our laws and traditions, as all other religions do. But radical Islam is orthodox in that they follow the Quran literally and seek the death or conversion of everyone in the world. They also have this funny idea that if they can own property in a place, including in America, that land is forever after the property of Islam and will be forced to observe Sharia law no matter what our Constitution has to say. This includes ALL of the West which does not acknowledge this claim. America better get ready to fight back against this claim and the violence that accompanies it. Europe is already lost.
I don’t think most people know anything about Candace Owens and MTG and all those crazy anti-Israel ranting by very online people. I’ve never heard a single conversation, directly or indirectly where it was mentioned even in passing. At least here in the South, life is normal, businesses and the economy are booming, girls dress like they used to in the 80s and boys look preppy. I haven’t seen a trans person anywhere in at least 6 mos. I know your livelihood is online but (at least outside of blue areas) life seems pretty normal.
Can I suggest that average Americans don’t care about Tucker, MTG, Candace, Megyn, and other assorted whiny $$ grabbing folks that claimed to be MAGA/Conservative.
Pres Trump and his brilliant cabinet are doing a superlative job dealing with global threats (like Iran), reducing crime to historically low levels, reducing drug imports and Cartel power, achieving energy dominance, growing Capital investment (which will fuel many more jobs, as shown in April employment nos and that rarity, an UPWARDS revision of the prior month figures), attacking rampant Fraud and the rogue NGO network that fuels the Dem/Radical class, improving health and de-weaponizing Health via RFKJr and his team, and working to put some spine in the rest of the Republican party (it is better, though we need to pass the Save ACT). While you were distracted more than 4MM illegals were deported or left voluntarily.
Patience is not a strong suit for the Left and many on our side. I say, LTMW (Let the Man work) and don’t give air to the MSM and their incessant attacks. Ignore the various turncoats (if we do, their following and $$ will decline).
As an average non partisan citizens, I left Tucker and Candace a long time ago. Megyn no so long ago. Of course I also left Rush long before he passed. And I might as well add, I left the Republicans first.
Its a good point. I disengaged the Republican party 20 years ago. I have been a conservative independent ever since. I have voted for non-Republicans, like Jesse Ventura for MN governor in 2002. Party membership means nothing to me
They are basically just grifters who are whores for clicks and money. China and Qatar have lots of money, Jew hatred gets lots of clicks and Trump will be gone in 2 years, so they took the money and overnight became TDS Trump haters and Israel obsessed Jew haters.
Hopefully to never return. These people like Candace, Tucker, and Meghan are so inconsequential. Who wants to spend time listening to their ridiculous opinions and questions. Most don’t have the time nor the desire. Their voices even get on my nerves. Tucker’s stupid laugh when so out of context is awful. I only see clips of videos and even then just a minimum portion to be exhausted by their rants.
Just remember, online is not representative of real life. MAGA are the men & women who work for a living, are raising families, and as George Bailey said, "...do most of the living & dying and paying the bills..." – and please believe me, they are well aware of the US' relationship to Israel and vice-versa, and we every bit MAGA today as we were more than a decade ago!
With my subscription I'm saying, "don't ever shut up, Sasha!"
As the magnitude of Trump's foreign policy victory unfolds, and gas prices plummet as predicted, these shrill gadflies will be dead and dry in the windowsill.
I know zero conservative friends who pay any attention to these shysters. Its amazing how they all turned on a dime into antisemites and Trump haters at the same time.
Kinda like Bruce Jenner suddenly becoming a girl.
I doubt seriously that they will affect many votes.
Sasha, please stop giving those idiots any of your attention - none of us are. The people who listen and believe Candace or Tucker or Megyn must not have jobs (or a functioning brain). We are in a battle for our country's future and those don't realize that, are in the background noise and to be ignored.
Apparently, Tucker has lost a lot of American followers/viewers but has gained a big audience with Pakistani viewers in Pakistan. So now he is curating content for the Muslim world......
I love President Trump and I love how Pres Trump played Tucker!!! It is well known that Buckley (Tucker's son) who was working for Vance, was a Leaker. He was Leaking Classified info to his dad who was Passing it along to the Qataris and Iranian Islamic Regime. So in Feb, Trump invited Tucker over, assured him that he had no intention of hitting Iran, did a big Photo Op with Tucker on social media. Tucker told Iran: nothing to worry about! That's why 40 Top Iranian Islamic Regime leaders were meeting in open daylight, above ground, public meeting, without any fears. And that's why Israel was able to eliminate those bad guys. Thank you President Trump!!! And thank you to the Treasonous Spy Tucker Carlson!!!
Keep calling it out, Sasha. As a former Megyn fan, I wrote her emails expressing concern for her slide in to antisemitism. Not that I expected her to read or respond, but it was just important to me to call it like I see it. That’s why I appreciate you so much, you call it like you see it.
I disagree that she’s “slid into anti-Semitism.” That’s a slander & is inaccurate. She has come to vigorously oppose this war of choice & believes Netanyahu likely played a very large role in talking Trump into it. That’s hardly illogical or impossible. In fact it’s not far-fetched at all. For that, you label her an anti-Semite. That’s pathetic & below the belt.
Keep taking Sasha! This is a fever dream. No one and I repeat no one aside from those dedicated podcasters are talking about this. Or Israel or Epstein and nor will they when the war is almost over. These podcasters only get traction with the choir on the left and of course they amplify the fever dream that Israel is evil and MAGA is divided beyond repair. All of this is a farce and a majority of everyone understands because it makes no logical sense. Multitudes of writers Hanson, Shapiro, yourself all see the crazy logic these people are using and trust me the mainstream cant follow any of it either and they never talk about it. It’s shame there is so much money available to fuel the podcasters like oxygen. They are burning up in a mix of irrelevance.
Adding my thoughts on the midterms. The Democrats are so backward and illogical everyone sees it. These generic polls are so high because they are racking up votes in California and New York. It’ll be the same outcome as last midterms when we thought there would be a republican red wave. There will be very little movement this year as well towards the Dems, but it doesn’t take much to switch the House. No one wants the Dems. No one. Except for crazy delusional Dems in the bubble in the blue states racking up poll numbers. Dems could take the house because it’s razor thin so be ready but with all the redistricting it’s gonna be a wash. Trump is the leader and people vote for Trump or what he promotes not Megan, Candace or Tucker. No one is voting their crazy redux and rewind on their opinion. Right the Dems make complete sense now, I’m switching. It’s not happening. Stay calm, keep talking, Trump is always right eventually.
Sasha I honestly don't know much about what you're talking about. I'm conservative but I don't follow any of the people you discuss. They're not really reporters who give me what I want - news - but "influencers" who give me what I couldn't care less about, their own opinions.

Mega-dittos!

Not just white. Look at the Christians in Africa. Let's be color blind.

You have an excellent substack. Insightful commentary that doesn't mince words about the precariousness of western civilization.
Thanks very much Jen. 😀
Hopefully to never return. These people like Candace, Tucker, and Meghan are so inconsequential. Who wants to spend time listening to their ridiculous opinions and questions. Most don’t have the time nor the desire. Their voices even get on my nerves. Tucker’s stupid laugh when so out of context is awful. I only see clips of videos and even then just a minimum portion to be exhausted by their rants.
True. They are vile and the time when they said anything worth listening to is long gone.
You are still my first and favorite Go To substack. Yep. from the very beginning.
Thank you.
I don't know about you but I never doubt or question how I feel and know and love about all things USA.
And we are so goddamned lucky to have Donal J Trump.
Rock on Sasha Stone
I was shocked by how shallow MTG turned out to be. Who will be next, I wonder.
Tom Massie, after he gets his ass handed to him in the GOP primary next Tuesday.
"I’ve never been all that good at shutting up."
Well, thank *God*!
Just remember, online is not representative of real life.

You're doing the right thing. Stand your ground.
Sorry, but I don't care about the 3 Stooges any longer.
I know zero conservative friends who pay any attention to these shysters. Its amazing how they all turned on a dime into antisemites and Trump haters at the same time.
Kinda like Bruce Jenner suddenly becoming a girl.
