President Trump has come out swinging against "Kooky" Tucker Carlson after the podcaster and former Fox News host predicted the demise of Trump's presidency if the United States were to get involved in the escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran. While Trump and Carlson have seemed chummy at times in recent years, Carlson rather infamously texted a friend back in 2021 of his eagerness to see the backside of the president, saying, "I hate him passionately." Things between the two got very heated Monday after Carlson appeared on Steve Bannon's "War Room" show and claimed Iran would be the president's ultimate downfall.

Tucker can't be taken seriously with his foolishness, and outbursts of laughter. Trump won this round. I liked some of Tucker's past work, but he is acting like he has been drinking.

What happened to Tucker? I don't see him as anti-Semite a la nutjob Candace Owens, and I also don't see us getting involved in another Iraq/Afghanistan dumpster fire. Any ideas?

Thanks for posting this article! However it did sort of remind me of how MUCH I miss the hilarious Tucker Carlson Comedy Hour, which often featured wealthy prep school friends of his, usually with the first name of Chatsworth. Maybe I can find reruns somewhere. But I kind of doubt it.

PDT said, "I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen." Go get a television network! What? Tucker, just like the rest of us, can say whatever he wants. We all know that we don't know everything; we don't ever have all the story, but we can still have an opinion. George Bush burned us bad, and look at US all involved in Ukraine. I say let Israel do their thing once and for all, and President Trump can talk to whoever's left after everything is over and done.

I love the Trump Presidency. I love that smart people like Musk, Bannon, Carlson and others feel comfortable getting into the pit with Trump about policy issues. I remember in 2016, that Trump said something like this: “I deal with ruthless people all the time in my business. We fight and quarrel with each other and I love them. It’s how we get things done. “

Israel does not need our military involvement. They just need us to not stand in their way. Our generals would spill all their secrets and botch it up with lame advice.

The serious issue is that Iran has enriched nuclear material stored far underground. The only method of destroying it militatarily is using US bunker buster bombs. Israel does not have the capability to deliver those weapons, so, the USAF would have to be the instrument. DJT is trying to avoid that by negotiating with Iran to surrender those materials. As #1 says Carlson can't be taken seriously as he has been inconsistent on many issues -" blowin' in the wind" and his " guffawing" is so annoying.

It's must be nice to be living in your estate in the woods of Maine, having earned your millions from your previous Fox show and sitting in your own studio just spouting off on whatever you want. Iran has been a threat to us since 1979, they have the blood and limbs on their hands from all the service members maimed and killed in Iraq and Afghanistan from their IEDs. Some people here whine about Russia and Putin, but the the mad mullahs of Iran are the real that to the US and western civilization. How about the US Air Force train some Israeli pilots to fly the B-2 bombers and we loan them out to take out for the final time their nuclear facility at Foro. The people of Iran can take it from there.

I would say that it depends upon what type of "involvement" the US might have. Large scale involvement of any foreign ground troops is probably not required. Israel has done quite well with some of their special ops guys. What the Israelis are doing seems to be setting the stage for a popular uprising. However, the bomb grade nuclear material does need to be surrendered (best option) or access to it destroyed with bunker busters (less desirable option).

If Trump was acting like a 'king', as the weekend protests alleged, he would've locked up Carlson for sedition. Instead, Trump just mocked Carlson.

President Trump is maintaining a steady course of support for Israel while resisting the siren calls for complete disengagement or going "all in." Carlson is wrong on this issue but his views serve as a useful counter balance to those on the opposite extreme.

Trump is not anti war if the war is for the right reasons. Ukraine is not a righteous war. Israel is. "Evil triumphs only when good men do nothing." It's a limited if truthful statement. But it should be preceded by this: "Good men must think before they act, identify and determine what is just and what is not, and then act decisively, with courage and determination."

Tucker doesn't seem to know when to shut up. I appreciate it when Tucker goes after the Deep State apparatus, but he knows nothing of the military intelligence behind these strikes. and I conclude it must have been pretty damned bad if Israel would risk WWIII with the USA's approval.

The next flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s battle to reshape the federal judiciary is coming — and it’s dividing the right. Trump recently appeared to declare war on the Federalist Society, the powerful conservative legal advocacy organization that played an essential role in his election both in 2016 and 2024. After one of his first-term appointees ruled against him in a major challenge to his tariffs, Trump launched a public tirade against the former chair of the group, Leonard Leo, who Trump described as a “sleazebag” who “probably hates America” before blaming the group for “bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations.”

Little noticed in the hyper-compressed news cycle is the minor revolt among some of Trump's strongest supporters, who are loudly dissenting from the Trump Iran policies. "Hey, I voted for peace!" seems to be the war cry. John wrote about Trump's split with Tucker Carlson last night. Both Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon have been pushing back on Trump's support for the war, and both have been accusing Israel of betraying the United States by dragging us into the war. They are just the tip of the iceberg. A significant fraction of the "America First" MAGA influencers are inclined to see that policy as "Fortress America,"

President Donald Trump on Tuesday has demanded that Iranian forces unconditionally lay down their arms and is suggesting that American forces may target Iran’s head of state if the Islamic Republic doesn’t cease targeting Israeli civilians or targets any American forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the U.S. “know exactly where” Iran’s “so-called Supreme Leader,,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “hiding” and described him as an “easy target” who is currently “safe” in his current location. “We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers,” the president continued before adding:

Since the Mullahs seized power in Tehran in 1979, the U.S. has been playing for a tie in Iran. Now, it is time for President Trump to play for a win. For forty-six years, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his predecessors have been waging a war against the U.S. and our allies in the Middle East. “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” have not been just slogans but decades-long causes. Iran’s war against Washington has at times been overt, as when the regime sanctioned Iranian students storming the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. For 444 days, fifty-two Americans were held hostage.

The newspaper reported the ICE reversal late on Monday: Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including its Homeland Security Investigations division, told agency leaders in a call Monday that agents must continue conducting immigration raids at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants, according to two people familiar with the call.

Israel will not stop fighting Iran until it has destroyed the Iranian regime’s ballistic missiles and its nuclear facilities, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Operations Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk said Tuesday. Basiuk spoke as speculation mounted about a possible ceasefire between Israel and Iran, as President Donald Trump left the G7 meeting in Canada early, and as Iran reportedly asked mediators to find an end to the war. The general’s response suggests that Israel will not leave its security up for negotiation any longer. Missile barrages have disrupted life in Israel, and highlighted the potential dangers of nuclear-armed warheads.

Despite the opposition he's receiving from ostensibly "right-wing" figures, including Tucker Carlson, President Donald Trump is not backing down. On Monday evening, Axios and CNN reported that the White House was already working toward a "ceasefire" deal that would presumably save the Mullahs, but at 1:00 AM on Tuesday, the president held a press gaggle, slapping down those anonymously-sourced reports. It sure sounds like he wants Israel to finish the job and take this to an actual end, not just a resumption of the status quo under some "deal." Trump went so far as to say that Iran "giving up entirely" is the goal and that “I’m not too

AUSTIN, Texas — Juneteenth celebrations have been scaled back this year due to funding shortfalls as companies and municipalities across the country reconsider their support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of parades and other events heading into Thursday’s federal holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. The shrinking financial support coincides with many companies severing ties with LGBTQ celebrations for Pride this year and President Donald Trump’s efforts to squash DEI programs throughout the federal government.

There’s a narrative being pushed heavily by Democrat leaders and the media that the protests over the weekend were basically nonviolent and peaceful.

I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.
