@TheRepublic22 @CarolineWren Paxton is as corrupt as you can get

@CarolineWren Good. One by one we will remove each corrupt, establishment R fraud in the senate. Thune, Graham, Cruz are next

Woah. In this mornings Politico Playbook… - Trump’s potential endorsement of Cornyn is dead - Paxton had a “positive meeting” with Trump on Friday - NRSC and SLF confirm they’ve abandoned Cornyn in the runoff 👀 👀 👀 politico.com/newsletters/pl…

@4TaxFairness Why are socialists so economically ignorant?

Households worth over $50 million can afford to pay a 2% wealth tax. Billionaires can afford to pay 3%. The rest of us can't afford to keep giving the richest people in America tax breaks while we struggle to get by. Pass Elizabeth Warren's Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act.

@LangmanVince The right is now split into 2 factions: America First and Israel First. Which side are you on?

Morning America: Has there been a bigger disappointment in conservative media than Tucker Carlson?

@LangmanVince Rush wasn't bought by Israel.

God I wish Rush Limbaugh were alive today so I could listen to him going after the grifters, Panican's, and demons like Candace Owens and Joe Kent among other's on a daily basis!

@EYakoby MAGA is split between "America First" conservatives and "Israel First" conservatives. I know which side I'm on.

I feel a massive shift happening in MAGA. People are finally waking up to the podcaster class being grifters. Every prediction about the operation were wrong. Defending the Islamic Republic was the last straw. Poll after poll shows that the grifter class is losing.

@LDS_Dems We can welcome people, but we still have to teach the truth.

For some members of the LDS Church, the most difficult commandment to follow is the one we carve onto every building: "visitors welcome" That includes Muslims in need of a temporary place to worship. That includes members of the LGBTQ community seeking to come closer to Christ

@LakdarSpeaks @JustADudeAZ @tedcruz @Eamus_Catuli16 @TuckerCarlson 83% of Israeli airstrikes kill innocent civilians. 972mag.com/israeli-intell…

@DetmerSteve @JustADudeAZ @tedcruz @Eamus_Catuli16 @TuckerCarlson Total lie. Don you want the actual figures? Or do you just want to continue telling lies?

Seriously: Five years ago, who had on their bingo card @TuckerCarlson becoming an outspoken defender of Sharia law? 🤯🤯🤯

@Coast_Politics @conservewild777 @tedcruz @TuckerCarlson Trump promised America First. Not Israel First.

@conservewild777 @tedcruz @TuckerCarlson Good. Glad you’re not a Republican anymore. Take your weird pathological fixation with ”tha joooos” and go join the Dims like Fuentes.

@conservewild777 @tedcruz @TuckerCarlson I have only voted Republican my entire life and it's shocking how many GOP politicians are openly Israel first now.

@tedcruz @TuckerCarlson It's over, Cruz, you do not stand for or with Americans. The propaganda parade can stop now. No, I'm not a bot, as that is how you justify the overwhelming negative sentiment around your views. I was a lifelong Republican.

@LakdarSpeaks @JustADudeAZ @tedcruz @Eamus_Catuli16 @TuckerCarlson Israel commits more terrorism than muslims.

@JustADudeAZ @tedcruz @Eamus_Catuli16 @TuckerCarlson Israel goes & you’re next. Only fools cannot see it—ISRAEL IS ALL OF US. A last beacon of Western values. A pioneer place much like the United States was such a short time ago. Your hate of Jews is self-hate. You will perish under Sharia Law. I promise you that.

@tedcruz @TuckerCarlson I didn't have on my bingo card you kicking America in the nuts because Israel told you to do it.

@judeangeneral2 @marklevinshow Israel is not our friend. We want America First. Not Israel first.

@marklevinshow Joe Kent has joined Tucker and Candace as traitors for monetization of their Anti-Israel propaganda. He has sadly sold his soul to the dark side. Pathetic. 🥷

SOME OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MY INTERVIEW WITH JOE KENT. I decided to provide this summary because the media have either ignored the interview or focused on more trivial bits of the interview without reporting on some of Kent's astonishing statements and misdirection. You can decide for yourself. 1. I pressed Joe Kent on widespread allegations from multiple sources and in multiple news outlets about his leaking of classified information and an investigation that started well before he resigned. He denied leaking classified or confidential information to anyone at any time and said he was unaware of an investigation. 2. Kent denied leaking Charlie Kirk's group texts to Candice Owens, which were given to him in confidence by Andrew Kolvet, despite Kolvet implying otherwise. Kolvet issued his own video stating Kent suggested Kovet release the texts to the public, which he refused to do. Soon thereafter, Owens released them and has obsessively used the texts to suggest Israel assassinated Charlie. 3. Kent accused Israel of starting the 12-day war against Iran and our subsequent bombing of the Iranian nuclear sites. I know for a fact that Israel did not launch that operation without the go-ahead by President Trump. Furthermore, Israel did not force the President to bomb the nuclear sites. President Trump knew exactly what he was doing and made the decision after consulting with his civilian and military advisers. 4. Kent insisted that Israel was going to attack Iran several weeks ago and, again, forced President Trump to launch our current military campaign (in coordination with Israel) against Iran. The President, Marco Rubio, John Radcliffe, and others, all deny it. 5. He insisted that Khamenei wanted a peace deal and had issued a fatwa years ago declaring that Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon. I knew this was as absurd argument and pressed Kent. The President's envoys also contradicted this by the facts, as have others, as there are obvious and plentiful facts of Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon, manufacture and accumulation of nuclear material, its violation of nuclear agreements, and its clandestine activities surrounding the entire decades' long project. 6. I mentioned Iran had lied about the reach of its ballistic missiles, to include most of Europe, to which Kent said nothing. 7. Kent's obsession with Israel as the aggressor against Iran was apparent throughout the interview. He repeatedly portrayed Iran as the victim, ignoring Iran's myriad acts of terrorism and its establishing, funding, training, and arming of Hezbollah and Hamas, among other things. 8. Kent repeatedly accused Israel of controlling President Trump's decisions respecting Iran, ignoring my repeated mentioned of the myriad examples of Iran's 47-years of acts of terrorism and war against our country, embassies, military installations, military personnel, and assassination attempts against the President and other top administration officials. 9. Kent ignored the repeated declarations by the President that he would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and repeatedly insisted that Iran was not close to making a nuclear weapon, in direct contradiction of Iran's own representations to Special Envoys Witkoff and Kushner in the final rounds of negotiations before the President ordered the current military actions, as well as CIA Director Radcliffe's sworn testimony and the statements of others in the know. 10. When I asked Kent to name the 18-intelligence agencies that he claims unanimously concluded Iran was not close to having a nuclear weapon, he did not. Of course, the President makes the final decision based on all the information provided to him, including not only intelligence information but information from other sources as well, and other circumstances. Nonetheless, Kent's assertion cannot be verified. 11. One of the most preposterous and pernicious of Kent's views was his insinuation that Israel may have been behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which he declared during his interview with Tucker Carlson. I pressed him hard on this. He tried to adjust his insinuation to suggest there could have been a foreign actor but that was clearly an equivocation. He also claimed he could not provide specifics as he could not reveal them, or the information was classified or whatever. But he insisted it needed to be pursued. Obviously, he has no information to support any of it. It was a blatant antisemitic trope, to go along with his other obsessions with Israel. 11. I asked Kent about the timing of his resignation and the provocative claims in his letter, as well as his allegations against Israel and supposed Israeli lobbyists and their claimed influence on the President (convincing him to go to war). He responded with generalities, talked about a media echo chamber, and repeated his charge that the President essentially was not making his own decisions. He also said he did not issue his letter at the outbreak of the war because he had hoped the President would quickly reverse course. Clearly, his resignation, letter, and the timing was intended for media consumption and to undermine the President and, he hoped, delegitimize the President's decisions, which Kent knew would be used by the media, the Democrats, the Woke Reich, and others against the President and his decisions. There was much more. You can listen for yourself here:

@marklevinshow Just move to Israel and get it over with. We want America First. Not Israel First.

@b3nt3ndo @LundukeJournal

@LundukeJournal It’s madness to me that a company is more likely to boast about first amendment rights than seeing the harm the internet can do to minors internationally. Priorities back to front me thinks.

The United Kingdom has demanded that 4chan pay a £520,000 fine for failure to comply with UK age verification laws. However, since 4chan is based in the USA, the UK has no jurisdiction to fine Americans in America. “As has been explained to your agency, ad nauseam, the United Kingdom lost the American Revolutionary War. We are not in the mood to discuss the matter further, and have not been in the mood for 250 years.” The letter to the UK’s Ofcom ended by suggesting that “maybe, you could just stop sending Americans stupid letters and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States.” 4chan’s attorney, @prestonjbyrne also included a picture of a giant hamster dressed as Godzilla.

@glennbeck The better question is how did Israel get to Trump to make him do a 180

Joe Kent is not some random bureaucrat. He is a decorated war veteran with a history of heroism and tragedy. But he also did a complete 180 on his opinions about attacking Iran. The real question is, what or who got to him?

@Calim1701 @FloppingAces @TuckerCarlson We "completely decimated" their nuclear program list July. Remember?

@DetmerSteve @FloppingAces @TuckerCarlson If you find out a nuke is pointed at the US, you do something abt it. I'm all for protecting the US no matter if that means we go to war or don't. Protecting the homeland is a primary goal.

Joe Kent, live on TCN at 6:00 pm EST tonight.

@Barnicle479 @FloppingAces @TuckerCarlson Like I said, it is amusing. Also pathetic how people are willing to twist themselves into a pretzel to justify something that is so opposite of what was promised. Sane people know that "no new wars" means no new wars, not starting new wars to prevent possible future wars.

@DetmerSteve @FloppingAces @TuckerCarlson Pre-emptive actions to prevent our enemies from achieving the means to annhilate us as they repeatedly state their intentions to do so is preventing "no new wars".

@jacktronprime @TuckerCarlson Are you "America First" or are you "Israel First"?

@TuckerCarlson Grifters stick together. This conversation will be so predictable: Israel forced us into another war. Israel killed Charlie Kirk. I left because Trump is pro-Israel. So r*tarded.

@NicholasLissack @TuckerCarlson The people pledging their allegiance to Israel are the traitors. Not the people wanting Trump to put America First.

@TuckerCarlson Traitorous birds of a feather sure love to flock together. Imagine my shock.

@FloppingAces @TuckerCarlson It's amusing watching people handwaive away Trump's complete 180 on his "No new wars" promise and then pretend that the people who supported him because of that promise are the problem.

Oh wow, shocker of the century...Joe Kent, the freshly minted anti-war crybaby who just rage-quit his Trump-given gig because bombing Iran's terror factories is suddenly "too mean," scores a prime-time pity party on your grift machine. Like rats fleeing a sinking ship, except you're both just diving headfirst into the swamp of Trump-hate and Israel-bashing. Predictable as hell: Kent's gonna whine about the "evil Israel lobby" forcing Trump's hand, you'll nod along like the deranged echo chamber you are, maybe toss in some "deep state" BS to cover your Tehran fanboy bullshit. Question is how long you been plotting this circle-jerk? Kent leaks his resignation, you swoop in with the invite...smells like coordinated treason from two frauds who got exposed for cozying up to the ayatollahs' playbook. Grifters gonna grift, traitors gonna trait. Hard pass on your clown show. You two deserve each other in the trash heap of has-beens. Pathetic sellouts. Get wrecked.
