Who Are the Warmongers

San Francisco native Tucker Carlson is celebrating the demise of the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. Just kidding. He’s actually having conniptions. As a (the?) principal voice of the growing “woke right,” Carlson preaches blissfully ignoring global threats, especially if Israel factors into the equation, while sanctimoniously attacking anyone who realizes it’s a cruel world out there, filled with evil actors waiting to attack. Remember 9/11? Remember when Iran orchestrated slaughtering 241 Americans in Beirut in 1983, or hundreds of American deaths in Iraq? When Iran promised death to America, it wasn't bluffing. They take jihad seriously. Consider Carlson’s June 13 absurdity: The real divide isn’t between people who support Israel

Comments:

I don't think there are enough Jew-haters in America for Tucker to replace his former fans who, like me, are abandoning him and his naive idiocy.

OP... what does this have to do with hating Jews and why is THAT your knee jerk? Disagreeing with a sovereign nation's actions should not be confused with hatred of any group of people. The nation of Israel is not infallible. I am still processing the fall out of these latest actions and don't have a fully formed opinion yet but I do get tired of being labelled a hater of anything or anyone just because I might not jump on the bandwagon quite quick enough for the zealots. Tucker is one voice. I listen to lots of voices including President Trump.

I'm as anti-war as anyone, especially because America stopped winning them in 1945, but Tucker, please. Iran had to go. Although I have to admit that it's hilarious listening to Democrats pleading to let "negotiations" run their course.

Mis-analysis, pure and simple. What the world is currently "enjoying" is Huntingdon's "Clash of Civilisations". Militant, expansionist, totalitarian islamism against everybody else. It is not "against" Iran. Iran just happens to be the current major font of a despicable ideology. That font can and probably will change. It is not "for" Israel, America, or the West. It is for the future of all humanity. Even current muslims. The stakes are high. Everyone plays for keeps. Choose wisely...

It isn't a good look when a writer's first sentence in an article criticizing someone contains a falsehood. Tucker Carlson is not a native of San Francisco. While he was born there he did not grow up in that city. I was born in the Duke University hospital where my father was a medical student. I certainly am not a native of Durham North Carolina just because I was born in that city. It looks like the writer wanted stir up some animus based on how we right wingers supposedly hate San Francisco and its residents. As to Carlson's displeasure with Israel taking out Iran's nuclear program, I completely disagree with him. I am very happy that Israel is doing the world a favor and that our country is supporting its efforts. That particular disagreement with Carlson doesn't mean that I think he should be trashed and that all his political and cultural opinions are now invalid. Like him I am rather sick and tired of my country having to be "the leader of the world," which seems to mean that we must constantly be at war, cold or hot, with various countries across the globe.

Decades ago William F. Buckley took on the task of marginalizing the John Birch Society -- and succeeded. Today, a similar effort on the right needs to be undertaken against Tucker Carlson and other emerging cranks. Who will be the modern-day Buckley?

Last year, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite being in her early 50s and having an undistinguished career before her affirmative action appointment, published a memoir. You might be forgiven for having missed it when “Lovely One” came out. As the media politely notes, it was “briefly” on the New York Times bestseller list and is now going for half price on Amazon. That is mostly to be expected of the ghostwritten memoir of an obscure judge. Except that Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits last year. These would be record numbers for a Supreme Court Justice’s biography from a book

Last week, Israel launched a bold and necessary campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran — a regime that has spent the last four decades chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” while funding terror from Beirut to Baghdad. Jerusalem had hoped that, in this historic moment, the United States — and particularly President Donald Trump — would rise to meet it. Not with speeches or sternly worded social media posts, but with the kind of moral clarity and action that once defined American leadership. Instead, we hear delay. Hesitation.

Shubow knew that the idea was a long shot. (Snip) During the first Trump administration, he had championed the revival of classical architecture as the chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts, and he wanted to bring the same aesthetic principles to bear on a new Penn Station — not just for the sake of the city’s harried commuters, but as a statement about the resurgent greatness of America in the Trump era.

As Americans began to prepare for Memorial Day weekend, the Supreme Court quietly handed President Donald Trump a significant victory in the fight to rein in the rogue D.C. bureaucracy. In a short, two-page order, the court stayed a district court order that directed Trump to reinstate two federal officials whom he had fired. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett voted for the stay. Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. The obvious effect is that the two officials (Snip) cannot retake their positions in either agency unless they win their lawsuits.

The real nakba [catastrophe, for Palestinians] was that they started a war and lost it. Well, if you start a war, that is what can happen. The Trump administration should beware of countries where the mouth says one thing but the legs do the opposite. Believe the legs. The Iranians and Palestinians have not given up their dream of eliminating Israel and America. Iran's leaders do the same thing. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reassures Americans that "We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue." Meanwhile, Khamenei calls for the elimination of the "Zionist regime" and endorses "Death to America."

Unwinding the bureaucracy’s grip on American life will take an effort that outlasts this president and the next. But last week’s executive order is a start. The second Trump administration contains multitudes. Rhetorically — and, often, practically — it has advanced an expansive view of executive power that echoes its leader’s famous, l’état-c’est-moi-esque declaration that “I alone can fix it.” And yet, in its concurrent attempts to rein in the most egregious excesses of our presumptuous and recalcitrant federal bureaucracy, it has tasked itself with effecting reforms that run in precisely the opposite direction.

A human resources director for the State of Minnesota is now on leave after sending a profanity-laced email from his official work account to an Alpha News reporter following an inquiry about racist posts on his social media page. It started after Alpha News received an email about LaVon “Vonnie” Phillips. A search of the state directory website shows Phillips listed as a “Human Resources Director 1” for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). State records also indicate that Phillips earns six-figures and is paid $55.45 per hour. The tipster raised concerns about Phillips and claimed his social media page is “littered with racist comments about ‘white folk.’”

The good news for Warner Bros./DC Studios is that its new Superman movie is quickly becoming a cultural touchstone, the standard by which all future superhero movies will be judged. The bad news is that it’s the low-end benchmark, representing the absolute worst that a superhero movie can be while not going straight to streaming. Director James Gunn is suddenly the Mario Mendoza of action filmmaking, and his Superman denotes the Mendoza Line, the trough of superhero futility.

The Department of Justice announced Monday that there was no Epstein “client list” and that it was confirmed that he died by suicide in his Rikers Island jail cell and was not murdered.

Per the outlet, the cash cards “should be available in about a week,” and will be given out “by immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.”
