Strategic blindness has shaped every modern conflict — including how the world sees Israel, terrorism, and the politics of “Palestinian” identity. My book, Failure to Adapt, unpacks why. 👉 amazon.com/Failure-Adapt-…

@LauraLoomer @LangmanVince #EspionageAct for both of those clowns. The Constitution is very clear on the punishment, and evidence required, of a conviction of treason. Let the chips fall where they may, but @FBIDirectorKash needs to open an investigation.

Proven right again. Last year I told you all that Kent leaked President Trump’s private meeting schedule, particularly his meetings with Jewish Republicans, to Tucker Carlson and Max Blumenthal. When admin officials caught Kent, who was in the hallway to Trump’s office when he was seen picking up his phone and texting Tucker, he was confronted by Senior White House officials who wanted to see if he would lie to their faces. So they cornered him and asked him if he leaked to Tucker. They said they knew it was him. Kent confessed. Kent was then told, “if you ever do that again, you’re fired.” Again, this is now a confirmation of everything I reported last year. When I posted my reporting, Kent retaliated against me by posting a vague tweet that insinuated I am a Mossad agent. A total abuse of power.

@LilyRoslynWest @DSterling1948 Me too.

Great work exposing the Jew-hating Groyper industrial complex.

@EricLDaugh There are some federal charges that can be levied against Mr. Kent. @FBIDirectorKash, please look into this persistent leaker and @LeoTerrellDOJ please consider his anti-Semitic rant on government stationary as part of the official investigative record.

🚨 BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt eviscerates resigned NCTC Director Joe Kent for claiming President Trump was manipulated by Israel into attacking Iran "He put out this resignation with many falsehoods throughout — essentially accusing the president of being manipulated by foreign governments. That's laughable and it's insulting!"

@TuckerCarlson Groyper Crew United. You Jew-hating conspiratorial sh!tbags are carving out your own little Neo-Nazi influence industry and destroying conservatism for your own gains. The horseshoe’s linkage point with the Left is anti-Semitic at its core.

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

Only that these people are splitting the Republican Party (and conservatives in general) among actual conservatives who have a brain and Jew-hating conspiratorial members of the Woke Reich Groyper Crew. Am Yisrael Chai and G-d Bless America. - signed a Jewish Zionist U.S. Army Combat Veteran.

So let me get this straight ... Joe Kent suddenly quits and tries to damage Trump with a laughable letter claiming Iran is not a threat, although, there's a gazillion tweets, sworn testimony, and interviews where he talks about how much of a threat Iran is. Then, magically, 5 seconds later, he's booked on every doomer grifter show, and high dollar grifter event in the USA this week where they'll all in unison scream for hours about how much they hate the Jooooooooooooooos and say "zionists" a thousand times per hour, and then say $7,000 a thousand times more like broken records. Yeah - they were all in on this to try to damage Trump. Of course, it won't work, and anyone with half a brain can see this setup a mile away. Not to mention, almost everyone has severe doomer fatigue. It's boring at this point; a cringe, never-ending, shouting match, the sky is falling, pessimistic circle jerk. Did I leave anything out?

@dustoff_1sg Instant follow from a fellow veteran (U.S. Army, OIF) and Zionist.

If you hate Israel or Jewish people please do me a huge favor and fuck off. That also includes all you idiots who think we are bombing the shit out of Iran just because Israel said so. I really don’t care how many of you unfollow me. I am tired of hearing this nonsense. Sincerely fuck off.

Joe Kent wasn’t just some principled Green Beret who suddenly grew a conscience and walked away from the Iran meat grinder...he was a goddamn leaker from the jump, a venomous serpent coiled inside the National Counterterrorism Center, dripping classified blood into the wrong hands while the rest of us bled for America First. And yes, he was doing it all along. Every sanctimonious syllable in that resignation letter was the desperate flail of a man who’d already been surgically excised from the President’s intel briefings months earlier, his clearance gutted like a traitor’s because the White House had him dead to rights. A senior administration official didn’t whisper it to Fox News for fun; they stated it plain: known leaker, sidelined, Tulsi Gabbard was ordered to fire his ass and she dragged her feet like a conflicted enabler. Trump himself called the prick “weak on security.” That’s not opinion. Legally, this isn’t some noble dissent under the First Amendment...this is straight-up Espionage Act territory, 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), the same statute that crucifies anyone who “willfully retains or communicates” national defense information to unauthorized recipients. Kent wasn’t blowing whistles in the public square; he was feeding the machine across departments, undermining ops, eroding the chain of command at the exact moment Iran’s nuclear clock was ticking. That’s not protected speech, it’s felony betrayal, prosecutable with decades in Florence Supermax, where the only briefings you get are from the warden. The Founding Fathers didn’t enshrine the Republic so some ego-drunk veteran could play Judas for personal vendetta or foreign-adjacent whispers. Psychologically, it’s textbook: the wounded operator’s spiral. Kent lost his first wife to ISIS savagery...fair enough, that scars a man...but the new one, the one tied to far-left, anti-Israel, pro-Iran echo chambers? That’s the poison pill that rewired his wiring. Resentment metastasized into delusion: sidelined from the big table, ego hemorrhaging, he convinced himself the real enemy wasn’t Tehran’s ayatollahs arming proxies to slaughter Americans...it was Bibi and AIPAC pulling strings on the man he once idolized. Classic projection. The leaker’s mind reframes treason as moral clarity because admitting he was the weak link, the security risk, the guy who couldn’t be trusted with the football would shatter the fragile warrior myth he’d built. Instead, he torches his career in a public tantrum, painting himself the hero while the administration scrubs the floor of his leaks. Pathetic. Predictable. Deadly. This wasn’t a resignation of conscience; it was the inevitable purge of a cancer that had been eating the intel community from within. While real patriots were briefing on Iranian missile trajectories and proxy kill chains, Kent was busy rewriting narratives, leaking across silos, and positioning himself for some future grift as the “truth-teller” who got shafted. Good fucking riddance. The Republic doesn’t tolerate leakers in its war rooms...not under Trump, not ever. You don’t get to wear the Green Beret, swear the oath, then piss classified secrets into the wind because your feelings got hurt by reality. Lock him up, strip the pension, and let the leaker’s legacy be this: a cautionary corpse in the annals of national security, proof that even the toughest operators break when the rot sets in. 🗡️💀⚖️🗡️

@mirandadevine @JeepPrairie Really? He has every right to peddle his anti-Semitic tropes? Yeah, he has a right to free speech, but he also has a right to be represented by counsel if, I hope when, he is charged for his leaks. There is more to this and you know it.

Joe Kent is a man of integrity. Whether you agree with him or not, he is acting on his conscience. He is a highly decorated combat veteran and Gold Star husband whose wife was killed in action in Syria in 2019. He has every right to feel the way he does. Thank you for your service @joekent16jan19

Don’t be an idiot. He blamed the Jews for everything. Look at his past beyond his service. You know which past I’m referencing, or do you not know about that? Look at his current wife’s Leftism. Come on Carl. You want to hear more from him? He plainly made his decision calculus available to the world.

I don't begin to know all the things Joe has seen but in my experience he has always been an honorable America First fellow vet... I want to hear more about how he reached this conclusion

@AmitSegal @DSterling1948 Am Yisrael Chai takes in a whole new meaning; emphasis on the Chai.

The commander of the Basij force some time ago: “Israel is capable of fighting for only 10 days.” He was eliminated last night, on the 18th day of the war.

This is the story about @joekent16jan19. Not the one he peddles. He's clearly an anti-Semite who blames Jews for jihadist violence. He's precisely the type of person whom we should shun from society and public office. I don't give a damn that he served. I served our country in war and so did many others. @POTUS, it's time to clean house Sir.

@joekent16jan19 Good riddance you POS Jew-hater. Jihadists killed your wife. Not Israel. I served as well against those lunatics. I’m not going to sit here and let you blame the Jews for everything. Am Yisrael Chai (even though it pains you to hear that).

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@GuyAz @joekent16jan19 Yeah, to his ilk, it’s all “manufactured by Israel.” He’ll be on Tucker’s show very soon. Anti-Semites are always ready to blame the Jewish State for everything bad in this world. Not the jihadists who did it. Just the Jews who suffer the wrath of jihad.

@joekent16jan19 Extraordinary. Joe Kent's wife Shannon Mary Kent was killed on January 16, 2019, in a suicide bombing attack in Manbij, Syria for which ISIS claimed responsibility. This is the war Kent claims was "manufactured by Israel"

@WellsJorda89710 @lou_twin @DumisaniTemsgen, I hope you two are in contact. @WellsJorda89710 gets it.

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨 Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets... When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement... Who stood with us? Who risked everything? The Jews. They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight. - Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would. - When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away. - In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish. - Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever. Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized. That's why I stand with the Jews. They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us. So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today: Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us. Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together. Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights. Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it. I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱 Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters. #BlackJewishAlliance #RememberOurAllies #StandTogether #CivilRightsTruth #NoToAntisemitism

@havivrettiggur Same here. They’re not jihadists, not anti-Israel, bot anti-Semitic, not oppressive, and not a closed society. They are open to building their country and their relations with freedom-loving peoples. I say this as an American Zionist Jew.

I'm starting to like these guys.

@EliAfriatISR Nothing short of total victory.

Our fighters in South Lebanon. What do you wish for our brave soldiers?🙏

@IsraelArmyStan Is there an option for Hell Yes? I’ll take that one.

Israeli forces are targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon to protect communities in the Galilee. Do you support this operation ? ○ Yes ○ No

@orenbarsky LOL. The Port of Hermon is still operational, however.

I know I probably shouldn’t post this and may even get in trouble with Israeli censorship, but I feel compelled to share this message despite the blackout on Israel’s internet: Foreign reports are correct: the port in Israel’s southern city of Beersheba has been completely destroyed by Iranian missiles. As a result, all Israeli maritime traffic has been redirected to the port of Jerusalem, which now remains Israel’s only marine gateway far.

@Saul_Sadka #TehranTucker will soon run out of paychecks.

The Qatari pivot towards Israel & the Abraham Accords was probable since Trump’s election, inevitable once Iran was exposed as a paper tiger in June, and now that the IRGC is exiting the realm of geopolitical relevance, Qatar’s pivot is actually happening. Poor Medhi & Tucker.🧵
