@JoelWBerry Marx wrote a dark, blasphemous play called Oulanem inverting the key Christian principles. Marxism is bloody cult grew out of Christianity. This is why it dies hard. Parasitical.

Tucker’s latest guest: “Capitalism shouldn’t be anywhere near Christianity. Christianity is socialism at its core.” Tucker agrees

@ConceptualJames Sigh...

Tim is one of them, btw.

@MichaelARothman VDH is FTW.

𝐕𝐃𝐇: 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐀 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄 Victor Davis Hanson is reading Trump's body language — and what he sees is a president recalibrating his inner circle in real time. VDH starts by giving Vance his due. In 2024, Vance "𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢," destroyed everyone he debated, and made Walz look like "𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴" — all with surgical calm. His attitude toward opponents was almost generous: "𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶." Formidable. But that was the campaign. Then came governing. Iran. Venezuela. Cuba. None of it was MAGA orthodoxy. The strikes took out Iran's nuclear facilities and its supreme leader. The Venezuela operation grabbed Maduro right out from under his Cuban bodyguards with zero American d∗aths. Bold, decisive — and exactly the kind of engagement that puts Vance in 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. As VDH explains it, Vance knows Trump values "𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺" above everything. But his power base — Tucker, Don Jr., Tucker's son on his own staff, the people who got him the VP nomination — are the ones most opposed to the foreign engagements. Trump acknowledged the rift publicly, telling reporters he and Vance are 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 on Iran (ABC News). To his credit, Vance handled it well — "𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦." But the tension is real. Meanwhile, enter 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧. VDH's nickname is perfect. Panama problem? Send Rubio. Vance blew things up with Zelensky and the Europeans? Send Rubio to play good cop. Personable, speaks Spanish, popular — and Trump is heaping praise on him. When reporters asked about a disagreement with Vance, Trump was notably lukewarm. Then he pivoted to Rubio: "𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺." That contrast isn't accidental. That's Trump's antennas telling the room where the loyalty ledger stands. Then VDH turns to Tucker — and this part stings. Hanson was on Tucker's show for years and never heard any of what Tucker is saying now. There's an internet compilation of Tucker's own past statements where he was "𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵" against radical Islam and Iran. Now he's calling Trump's Iran decision 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 and claiming that when you demand unconditional surrender, it historically leads to mass r∗pe of the defeated population (Mediaite). Trump's response was blunt: Tucker is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀. VDH dismantles Tucker's premise with a single example. America demanded unconditional surrender from Japan. Douglas MacArthur served as pro-consul for eight years. There was no mass r∗pe by Americans. Tucker's claim doesn't survive contact with the most obvious parallel in modern history. The message VDH is decoding is clear: Vance needs to divorce himself from the extremist voices, recommit to Trump's agenda as executed — not as debated on podcasts — and prove that loyalty runs both ways. If he doesn't, the man Trump keeps calling the greatest Secretary of State in history is right there. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜. 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞.

Bill Maher: Iran were a couple weeks away from having 11 nuclear bombs. If you were president, you'd do nothing about it? Josh Shapiro: "What the president failed to do was to be clear with the people about what the hell we were doing here…" "If you're the Commander-in-Chief, you have a responsibility to the people you send in harm's way, you have a responsibility to the American people to explain why it is you're doing what you're doing…" More mealy-mouthed garbage from a former IDF volunteer who worked in the hasbara division at the Israeli embassy.

@TheQuartering Agreed.

Trump hasn't changed. You have. He's always been a wildcard.

@TRobinsonNewEra I remember this. Back then the Iranian regime took the money and immediately mocked Obama. It was incredible to see it unfold.

The left are showing more "outrage" at Trump for his 'no man left behind' mission to save American servicemen, because some aircraft were damaged, yet all heroes were saved. Obama sent more in literal US cash on a pallet to the Islamic regime, and they all clapped along. Classic TDS.

Dear Democrats, remember when your AutoPen Numbskull left billions in matériel behind in Afghanistan and then was caught checking his watch as slaughtered Americans returned under flags? So please just stuff it. Forever.

Imagine dreaming wistfully that your guy would have been the president who oversaw Iran getting the nuke and yet did nothing. What a pussy ideology.

Finally got through this entire podcast… Here is the cliff notes version. Theo Von- “Let’s talk about the fact that we are funding a genocide, an unjust war, and our government is ran by jewish lunatics.” Rogan- “Nah man let’s talk about aliens, sex with robots, drugs, and vaccines.”

Looks like the Woke Right is done using Rogan and is going to discard him now.

@joeroganhq I heard he likes Hamsters.

Richard Gere: "The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin?"

When Trump has been impeached & removed & you are on lockdown in a new plandemic & democrats have arrested Elon Musk taken over X, packed the courts & let in another 60 million illegals to replace your vote for good, just remember it’s because you fell for this psyop 👇🏾

@C_3C_3 They conveniently forgot what biden left behind.

@C_3C_3 Oh yes. How could we forget this.

The Left is crying about Trump losing equipment saving an American… Here is a video of the Taliban having a military parade with BILLIONS in US military equipment left behind from Biden’s horrific Afghanistan withdraw. They didn’t care.

Never thought I'd see the day where leftists targeted murals of a female Ukrainian immigrant.

🇮🇷🇴🇲 Iran is building a permanent toll system for Hormuz and deciding who pays and who doesn't... Tehran reportedly plans to jointly administer the Strait with Oman, charging $2 million per vessel. Oman gets a seat at the table as a reward for its mediation efforts and geographic position along the waterway. But the real story is in the exceptions. China sails through free. Pakistan gets 20 tankers. Iraq was declared a "brotherly country." And days ago, an Egyptian vessel carrying food reportedly passed without paying a cent, a political gesture thanking Cairo for its role in mediation. Iran is rebuilding the strait as a loyalty program. Friends transit freely. Mediators get rewarded. Enemies pay or don't pass at all. The parliament already codified this into law. The IRGC has the enforcement capability. And Oman's involvement gives it a veneer of international legitimacy. The U.S. went to war partly to prevent Iran from ever having this kind of leverage over global energy. Six weeks later, Iran has more control over Hormuz than at any point in its history, and it's institutionalizing that control while the bombs are still falling. Source: NYT Medial: @A_M_R_M1
