NYT sort-of admits covid vaccine injuries are real after leaked ACIP report; Tucker claims CIA is after him; NYC has one very odd monkeypox case, and health experts push vaccines; more.
A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.
“That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better detergent.”
Her husband looked on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.
A month later, the young woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,
“Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”
The husband replied, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life … What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.
"When you judge a person it doesn't define them. It defines you."
Similar to Yeshua's admonition to the Pharisees about their condeming the "gnat size small infractions of Jewish laws" committed by the laity when THEY the "heirarchy of Judaism" were committing infractions the size of a camel!!
Love this 'comment', Jayson--thanks for the 'sweet smile' it brought to my face!
At the same time the government and church officials MUST judge blatant sin and evil acts or there is not justice. We must pray if we feel judgmental but we must not be stupid. I fully embrace the story about humans having a paradigm they filter everything through and we must constantly evaluate that in ourselves We also must never call bad good.
There are responsibilities present in the “Do not judge”.
This whole conversation is the tricky stuff. Do not hide or cover evil. Essentially judge yourself while not judging others as God but also do not hang out with or bless evil.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he hath been a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his [d]own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Because this is his realm, Jesus did not refute this:
8 Again the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 And said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down, and worship me.
So 100%,
8 Be sober, and watch: for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
The most stupid thing about Satan is that he did not realize he could give Jesus nothing as Jesus already owns all the real estate and all the Kingdoms already. Satan must be more stupid than we think.
Speaking of Satan and LIE'S - here are some links to Dr. Sean O'Leary from the great Satan State of Colorado who Jeff writes about today. "Dr. Sean O’Leary, quoted extensively, who leads the lawsuit to block ACIP from meeting at all, on anything. O’Leary is literally trying to shut down the ACIP."
Yes, removing the plank from your own eye before dealing with the speck in someone else’s is always the prudent course of action. Thank you for the gentle reminder!
42 Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
"No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other". -Frank Lloyd Wright
Those two things are more connected and more linguistically separate than most realize.
Each of us is the house, and the wood (plank) builds it.
Thank you for posting this clever little tale; and as well with many others here, it brought a much-needed smile to my face.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm copying this and posting this in other places as I think this is (and could be) a good learning moment for those that hopefully will read it.
Do you think instead of bi-focal, we should call them "Progressive rose colored lenses"; so the Progressives might think they were made for them and not realize they just help them see RIGHT; even when they have their heads up their .......?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
. . .
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Look at Jesus, not the storm nor the water nor the fear brimming inside you.
The sunspot cycle was linked to disease as far back as Hippocrates. The recent 11 year cycle began in 2019 (Covid?) And ends for UN Agenda 2030. It is peaking in 2025. It causes Influenza due to its influence on the body. Sadly Influenza disappeared and was labelled Covid. No vaccine prevents sunspot diseases, like Influenza.
“Working alongside others to challenge governments that forbid the Gospel is not an act of aggression; it is an act of witness."
"If billions of people live under governments that tightly restrict the preaching of the Gospel, should Christians simply accept that situation as permanent? Should we quietly accept a world where entire nations are effectively closed to the message of salvation?”
I have always loved this verse, especially the translation that says “The Light shines [present tense] in the darkness, and the darkness has not [cannot] overcome it.”
In these difficult times, as it’s been well said, don’t just curse the darkness — be a light-bearer!
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
I have heard that Tucker is deranged, an antisemite, etc so I decided to go on Spotify and listen to him objectively and draw my own conclusions. What he says seems very reasonable but certainly not acceptable by the masses. His interview with Carrie Prejean was eye opening and deserves a listen by any religious person. I'm not religious but it was disturbing. At this point, I don't think anyone has the market on the full truth. I did learn from covid, however, that when people are publicly called names in unison by the elites, there's usually a reason. There's no need to prove anything, just enough name calling and censorship and the masses will believe 2+2=5. This war can be about whatever you want it to be depending on who you choose to trust.
I think his antisemitism is rooted in his father beliefs as well. I too like him and respected his opinions. But when he went full anti Israel I looked at him differently and do not like what I saw. He's dead to me. As is Candace Owens.
Being critical of US-Israel relations is not ‘antisemitism’ no matter how many times this narrative is stated. Nor is this ‘anti-Zionist’. These labels for those who question the US-Israel relationship are designed to shut down dialogue, IMO.
How exactly? Tucker has repeatedly stated that he loves Israel and that he loves the Jewish people. But that criticizing a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT is NEVER off the table for anyone. Yet, the new definition of 'antisemitism" is being critical of a foreign government - specifically one government. And what Hunter's Dance is referring to is the term Semite, which has been perverted over the years. Semites include Hebrews, Arabs and Arameans. The term was actually used to classify languages - linguistics. Come on people, let's open up our history books and do more reading and then listen to the people who are being criticized by any establishment figure.
He’s taken ‘what’ and exactly miles further? It sure ‘feels’ like the rabid opposition to Tucker from some (all?) quarters is based on fear. Fear that US support for Israel will waver or be undermined and the modern state of Israel will fold and cease to exist. It seems like the push back comes from a deep place of existential fear. Am I wrong? I look at Israel and see a strong country that is high-trust, has a decent/high birth rate and a proven ability to hold and defend its borders.
So, I watched him yesterday discussing with Bret Weinstein and he publicly stated how he was NO anti-semitic and Bret( one of his best friends) IS Jewish and acknowledged that. So, I feel I must trust a Jew acknowledging he is NOT an anti-Semite more than your assessment. Maybe he is Still somewhat anti-establishment Israel but not anti-Semite. . . ?
He is not anti-Israel, he is questioning Bibi and his admin's motives. Good Grief. In case you have not heard, Bibi is not perfect and acts like a Pharisee. That does not make you an anti-Semite. Israel is made up of a lot of Jewish people and Bibi is just one of many in a leadership position. We are not mandated in the US to be forced to, held at gunpoint to, mandated to like anyone, anything, any religion, any gender, any sexual orientation, any politics, any agenda, other countries, world leaders. As Tucker, I am highly suspect of Bibi and so are many of my Jewish friends.
I dunno, some of Tucker's comments seem less questioning than accusing to me. In any case, i prefer to look at what world leaders DO, than what they or others SAY. What I see Netanyahu (and Trump) doing is finally addressing evil that has festered for generations, and has only gotten worse until they began putting stop to it. My observation over the years that Hamas has done nothing to create a healthy state in Gaza, Hezbollah has taken the entire country of Lebanon captive and damaged it, preventing it from being a healthy state, and that both of them are obvious dedicated proxies of Iran settles any action against them in my mind.
Graphite - you’re so right. Anyone who still thinks Tucker is reasonable and knows what he’s talking about on any subject needs to listen to his interview of the revisionist “historian” Darryl Cooper. It is off the wall nutso - Tucker nodding approvingly when Cooper blames Churchill for starting World War II or the other bizarre things he puts forth.
There’s something seriously wrong with Tucker and I cannot like someone I do not respect. Just sayin’.
Oy Vey, next. Tucker is reasonable. Perhaps there is something seriously wrong with you to condemn him. Glad you don't like me as I am pro Tucker. Good riddens.
Same. I used to be a paid subscriber but cancelled that several months ago. His choice of the “religious figures” in Israel has been very unbalanced. He does not have anyone on with a different viewpoint from Israel, only those that are in line with the Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state. Which is hogwash. He fawned over and agreed with much of why the despicable Nick Fuentes had to say but went after the jugular with Cruz and Huckabee. He’s lost balance and perspective. It’s like the demon he says attacked him hasn’t actually gone anywhere. There has been a change. I do not trust him anymore and I would not be surprised at this point to learn that he did in fact pass info to Iran. I hope the facts are conclusive when presented.
Annie Rudy - I used to be a huge supporter of Tucker too - was furious when FOX fired him - followed him to his podcast. But the more I watched the in-depth interviews, the more I realized he’s not the in-depth thinker I had believed he was. And then, as you’ve said so clearly, he changed. I stopped listening after the Cooper interview because it was just so bizarre although I am aware of the other interviews. I can’t figure it out either - perhaps the years of alcoholism have caught up, perhaps it’s a “follow the money” or perhaps it’s the demon which he said attacked him. Whatever it is, it’s troubling.
Darryl Cooper is correct, as is David Irving. It’s just people are either too lazy or stupid to analyze what they say versus what they were told in school. Of course a lot of these people also believe Muslim hijackers with box cutters flew airplanes into buildings on 9/11…a lot of them took COVID jabs too. Sheep.
I didn’t agree with a lot of what Darryl Cooper stated. But, there’s one part he spoke of that I think is truth. Darryl stated that forever wars since WW2, have been advanced by using ‘WW2 tropes’ to either gain support, or to discredit and marginalize detractors. Examples include:
‘He’s like Hitler’ …and must be stopped
‘Don’t be a Chamberlain’ or don’t be weak and fooled by the enemy
‘Stand strong like Churchill’ to remain with the fight…
I would not heard these ‘propaganda’ truths if I had not listed to Tucker interview of Cooper.
They’re using the time tested blood libel against Jews that led to the continuous pogroms and finally the Holocaust. But now Jews have a tiny but powerful nation of their own.
That IS interesting! Thank you. "An OCR error, a livestream, an Iranian state rally, a Russian philosopher, an American pundit, and a word that hadn’t existed in mainstream American political vocabulary becomes the explanatory framework for an active war spoken by people with combined audiences of tens of millions." So much—maybe the majority—of the conspiracy-theory chatter so prevalent now has a similar trajectory. It's like the children's game of Gossip, where the original sentence is passed around a circle and ends up bearing no relationship at all to the original.
Jeff did a great balanced post on this, saving me from reading the articles I have avoided.
Jeff says things well, "But it’s even sillier if you spend ten seconds thinking about it." How so many fail to spend those seconds due to emotional pre-conceptions.
I keep hearing that he's anti- Israel, but I haven't seen specific references. I listened to a recent interview from 2/19 where he interviewed a Dr Fares Abraham, a Palestinian-American preacher that was born & raised in Bethlehem. Nothing in that interview sounded like he was anti-Israel. of course that was just ONE interview.
I'd truly love resources that show he is anti Israel. I'm not a racing fan of Tucker's or anything, but I've generally agreed with most (never all) of his perspectives. If he's gone off the deep end, I'd like to know.
Since the farce of October 7 when the IDF stood down for NINE HOURS while the rag tag Hamas attacked Israeli settlers, in order to have the excuse to annihilate Gaza, I too, have become rabid anti Israel. So did Charlie Kirk right before death. Time to take another look at the difference between Judaism and Zionism. The latter are satanic!
Fanatics in any group are dangerous. God has Israel's back so I don't know what all the hubbub is about. Israel is not going anywhere. It will not be destroyed.
You cannot know with certainty that the Israeli government deliberately sacrificed 1200 Israeli lives just to have an "excuse to annihilate Gaza." Everything that has to do with human decisions is complicated and subject to unpredictable variables, which are not known by onlookers. Your degree in molecular biology does not qualify you to understand what's going on in the larger world. Your pride in being "rabid" is horrifying.
"...when people are publicly called names in unison by the elites, there's usually a reason. There's no need to prove anything, just enough name calling and censorship and the masses will believe 2+2=5..."
Thank you Jennifer for speaking the truth! For years, the Woke Left threw the "Racist!" accusation at us as if that justified everything they did. Now the NeoCon/Zionist war party throws "Antisemite" at anyone critical of the USG backing genocide in the ME. "They" can't be criticized because they are the superior people. Right! /s
There was a sociology experiment held long ago (in 1960’s) where a large (300 person class) were all given the same quote. Except 1/2 the class given the quote saw it attributed to MLK Jr. and the other half to Spiro Agnew. For those of you old enough to know, Spiro was involved in a political scandal at the time, not well liked at the time by the youth. The class was then asked to give impressions of the quote. Those that had quote w/ MLK Jr. name attributed gave it glowing, positive reviews. Those w/ Agnew, the opposite. Source bias is a reality around us, daily. We cannot ‘hear’ anything of value if the speaker is vilified by one’s own ‘tribe’. This goes both for Right and Left.
After listening to that particular interview, I am convinced that Trump is surrounded by evil whisperers…. Especially Paula White…that is why we are in a war at the moment.
Paula White is a complete wacko charlatan and should be nowhere near the President. But don't give her too much credit. She doesn't have that much pull.
I haven't listened to any Tucker for quite a while, but I was quite alarmed when I heard of Trump's association with White. Very disturbing to think she might be discipling him on any level. Why???????
Like Jeff I am pro-Tucker for many reasons, but I was taken aback when he stated that Christian Zionists are worse than Islamic Terrorists. 😳 Of course taken out of context it’s unfair to him, and I thought he was referring to a specific type within that group, (all groups have radicals,) but according to the definition of Zionist - well, I guess I am a Christian Zionist? Since I believe Israel has a right to be a nation and inhabit their ancestral land? Maybe the term means something different these days?? But to have him make such a blanket statement that a group like that is worse than terrorists ?? That went a field too far for me.
All we can do is pray for him. The analysis above explains things we are really fighting, and if true then they wanted to convert as many as possible from our side, and converting Tucker and others like him would gain them a LOT of followers, and has. She makes a good point that they can’t win in debate so they have to convert. It would also make sense why they are attacking TPUSA so fiercely. It was supposed to die and Erika is keeping it alive.
Hi Juju - I hope we can do a lot more than pray for Tucker. We need to call him out on his dangerous lies. I find something sinister about his habit of putting out something really outrageous and then saying, “I’m just asking questions.” No, he’s not “just asking questions.” He’s spreading a lot of evil. He has a lot of influence and we have to fight for truth and for people to see what’s right.
Spot on Juju. Fanatics are the worst anywhere you find them, even if they are "Christians". You can't reason with them, debate them. I refuse to use the word Zionist as that allows for a govt to genocide others including children and I will have no part in that.
Of course Israel has a right to exist and thrive and God will ensure that like He always has. I am not convinced Bibi and his admin even have faith in the God of Israel and I sure as heck believe had Bibi he lived in the days of Jesus, Bibi would have called for Barrabas to be free.
“…word Zionist as that allows for a govt to genocide others including children and I will have no part in that.”
I’m not finding that in official definitions of what a Zionist is. But that is what those who hate them claim about them, and then those smears get circulated as fact.
From a completely different Jennifer....just so y'all know that there are two of us. I don't listen much to Tucker anymore; but the dot-connecting is intriguing. I was upset when both Tucker and Megyn Kelley stated that our servicemen killed in the Iran operation died for Israel, not for the United States. That is a cruel way to frame your opposition to the war, at a time when the grieving families' loss is still raw.
I am pro Tucker. I saw the interview with Carrie and there are many hypocrites and weaklings on that religious committee. They are the Pharisees. Paula White is a real piece of work. On Truth Social, people like Marlin Stutzman, a US Rep, is pounding Tucker and describing him in the worst terms. I am glad Tucker is investigating how much influence Bibi and his admin have in the US. But that makes Tucker a anti-semite-I call BS on that. Sounds like some Repubs are using Antifa tactics to destroy others. I am happy to hear you find him reasonable as I do too.
Does Tucker have top level security clearance? Is it illegal to talk, text share information with foreigners? Has a war been officially declared? Did Tucker allegedly talk with Iranians before or after the Supreme Leader got murdered? After the Covid fiasco does anyone here still feel we can trust our government? Just asking…
Pray for Tucker. Pray the Iranians don’t kill him over false intelligence ( if he did indeed give them information), pray the US Government does not abuse constitutional protections, pray that Truth is revealed sooner rather than later and pray that the faith Tucker and his family have in God and his son remains strong and a refuge.
I have thought for a long time that tucker was connected to the CIA mockingbird media. Since his Feb 2024 Putin Interview (minutes 45 - 46 in the interview) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYfByTcY49k He never responded to Putin when he outed Tucker as having tried to join CIA. Tucker very obviously seemed a bit taken back. The particular angle on this video does not show Tucker's facial expression but I remember watching the interview when it aired on TV (probably on Fox) and think that normally Tucker would have laughed out loud at such a suggestion vs what he did, stare dumbfounded and not flinch or react in any way as if it was common knowledge - which it was not at that time. What I got from his face was that he was thinking to himself "how the hell did he find out about that, and he just said that on Russian TV" Which means it could/would air in Russian even if US media censored it. Either way, there are good and bad guys in all of these orgs. Maybe he's one of the good ones? It's hard to tell anything nowadays.
Similar to Graphite, used to listen to Tucker a lot, some eye opening interviews, his letting the interviewed talk fully was so refreshing and educational. But recent interviews and his own pronouncements have chilled my interest. What with Jeff, Amir Tsarfati, a couple others, my listening/reading time is still full.
I agree with you. Many in the truth community believe that much of what we see & hear coming from various sources is to throw us off track or to get a particular narrative out there. I am pessimistic about everything I hear now. No judgements until more time passes
I’ve always thought the best people to hire into government positions like the ACIP board, are people that have been harmed by previous policies, and Biden’s policies harmed many. I believe Dr. Malone is a cochair on the ACIP board. When he invented RNA technology the reason he stopped working on it was once injected into the body there was no control on where it went in the body. Inevitably there would be terrible inflammation causing serious problems. Before he took his 2 shots he called Dr. Marks and asked him if these problems had been solved. Marks lied to him and said yes they have been, but they were not. Dr. Malone not only got serious adverse reactions from the shots he also got a severe case of Covid, had a hard time breathing and thought he may die. To me he’s a perfect hire onto the ACIP board. Knowledgable, invented it, was harmed by it and personally found out it was not effective at all. At this time where most all trust in the medical establishment has been lost, people that have been harmed by lies have a strong motivation to try to fix the problems, just my opinion. Just look at Trump himself and what Biden did to him!
When Trump was elected (this current admin and not the previous two) I told my conservative friends that the best thing he could do throughout his admin is hire government whistleblowers. THEY are the courageous ones willing to fight for what is truly right because going up against the feds is not for the faint of heart. It will destroy your livelihood and create great emotional distress. Lived this through my husband who is now, thankfully, retired.
Oy Jeff. I'm extremely disappointed that you state you are still pro-Tucker.
I *used to be* pro-Tucker and even was an early paid subscriber to Tucker's podcast channel. But after his Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Daryl Cooper (who blames WWII on Churchill, not Hitler!) and Munther Isaac, a pastor based in Gaza who made ALL SORTS of DEMONSTRABLY FALSE claims that showed his Jew Hatred - all of that coupled with Tucker's aggressive (to put it mildly) interviews of Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, put Tucker squarely in the Jew Hating, ENEMY camp.
It is one thing to have controversial people on one's show. I too am pro-free speech.
It is another thing entirely to nod in dopey agreement with those spouting vile click-bait blood libels and letting those lies stand unchallenged while aggressively grilling respected conservatives.
Can’t you be Pro Tucker and not agree with him? Why is it to be Pro anything it has to be 100%? I don’t agree with anyone 100%. So I wouldn’t be pro anything?!? I’ve like Tucker as far as listening to him. His rants. His different points of view. Doesn’t mean I agree with him. I agree with asking questions. I agree that once people start attacking the same person I want to pay attention because I felt like that was the Covid way. I don’t want to be in an echo chamber. I want to stretch my brain. It’s one of the reasons I come to the comments. This comment section has primarily been positive in discussion minus maybe the last week IMO. For the most part people share and discuss respectfully so people can learn from one another. When discussion happens people learn. Ideas are exchanged.
I’ll ask you as I have never listened to Tucker or Candace: I feel that no one in Congress should be taking $ from Isreal lobbyists or any other country lobbyists. I feel that no one in Congress should have dual citizenship w any other country. I feel that Isreal should be free to fight their wars as they see fit and I feel that we should not have to always give them $ or arms. They are a wealthy country they can pay and purchase arms if they want them. I have lots of Jewish friends. Would you classify me as anti- semetic? I do t think I’m anti semetic or anti Isreal I would just like to be pro USA and nothing g else
Israel is a tiny country with a small population. It is surrounded by countries filled with people who want to kill them. They do purchase arms from those willing to sell to them (many are unwilling - including Biden who put a hold on many arms even after they had alteady been paid for - although he had no problem GIVING arms to Ukraine).
I have to agree that the lack of handling conservative guests equally revealed a disturbing bias. I didn’t hear what others did during the interview with Cooper, and found it thought provoking, and I noticed that the spreading of what was said was by people who hadn’t listened to the whole interview and just parroted a few Pro-Israel voices who told them what was said - basically shielding people from ever hearing it for themselves, and that’s an overused tactic too. (Note I AM pro-Israel, and still noticed that.) And I listened to the Fuentes interview too but that’s when I noticed a distinct difference in the lack of challenging him to the same ferocity he challenged Cruz and Huckabee. His bias was significant and showed clearly and that disappointed me. Challenge them all equally, or let them all share their propaganda undeterred. But when you are selective that raises a red flag.
My experience with these “experts” from my many years in scientific research is that most are socially inept folks whose lives depend on their research and the praise extended.
O’Leary with his card in a seemingly empty room with his mask off. What a joke tragic joke.
I remember when DeSantis was the first to say they spin the PCR intil.they get a positive result or something to that effect. Also the inventor of the test said it was not meant for that. And Kary Mullis did in 2019 not too suspicious
Thank you Jeff. I can no longer tolerate other news sources as they all seem to have profanity. I just don’t need that negativity. Your daily articles is truly a blessing.
Agree, though i would be a bit more precise. The explosion is of vulgarities. Profanity being a curse or inappropriate use of God's name, while vulgarities are use of words considered too vulgar and inappropriate for normal conversation. I may seem pedantic, but the proliferation of vulgarities has cheapened, downgraded and coarsened our public discourse in a horrific way. Back when i was gainfully employed, i observed that the quantity of vulgarities in a coworker's speech varied inversly with his intelligence, value to the company, and trustworthiness. It was an obvious "tell". It still is.
I call it “attention seeking behavior” by people who are piggybacking off of Mr. Childers hard work. So impressed he is able to coherently blog while on a road trip & have it on time. Have a wonderful vacation Childers family! 🚗
The traitor is Donald Trump who ran as a Peace President. Remember? I voted for Trump twice, and given the alternative, don't regret my vote. But let's be honest, the traitor isn't Tucker Carlson, and it's pretty rich to imply otherwise. Instead, since we're in the land of speculation, let's talk about why the US Uniparty preemptively bombed Iran. And by the way, where is Netanyahu?
Netanyahu is in Israel getting coffee at a coffee shop. Did you not see the video?
My complaint is that the war is taking sooooo long. Man, it’s already been about two weeks. That’s like longer than WWII isn’t it? And if they don’t watch it, the military will end up spending more than the Somalis in Minnesota stole, not even including California fraud. What IS this country coming to when the one federal responsibility listed in the constitution actually happens.
Here’s a question for ya, if what Trump did (And which every president since Jimmah talked about doing as well as every democrat “leader”) brings peace to the ME for the next hundred years, can we then call him the peace president? If what Trump did to Venezuela brings peace, does that count as being a peace president? Does liberating enslaved populations make him a good president or a traitor?
If there was some track record of US intervention bringing peace and stability to regions, especially in the Middle East, maybe your logic would be worth listening to.
Are you really so intellectually incapable of doing your own research that you need to be spoonfed every bit of info on America’s capacity for good from the founding until yesterday?
Childish smears - have blessed day hating america. Der der der der. I don't agree with you so you hate america! You must be a muslim! you must love Kamala! Grow up.
You missed the point Benny. When has US intervention gone well in the Middle East? You could argue it "goes well" when we prop up dictators who exercise brute force over their populations, but I don't think the people living there thinks those interventions went well.
Can't disagree that historically western intervention is mostly unintended consequences going back to europe slicing up the tribal lands and creating the (intended?) Disfunctional ME countries we are stuck with today. (Probably before that too, to the early days of Islam terrorizing their neighbors and even before that, the area has been a war zone for millenia). However Pres Trump's approach to delete the subset that has us and all it's mid east neighbors in it's crosshairs, and let them sort it out is novel, and might even work, where nation building has failed over and over in that very strange area with a tribal worldview so foreign to us.
So you define as being the opposite of peace the guy who FINALLY TAKES OUT the SOB who has been killing and terrorizing Americans (and others) for FORTY-SEVEN YEARS?
You have ZERO knowledge or understanding of the historical relationship between the US and Iran to regurgitate this BS. All you are doing is repeating US Uniparty State Department Propaganda. Americans are so gullible and stupid. Congratulations.
You can have a strong stance against the war, there are reasons to be. But, it will be a very difficult position to find any points to support Iran. Iran is responsible for: between Khamenei’s code on how to properly molest girls younger than 9 , various terrorist organizations that they support, like: Hamas, Hezbollah, PIJ, Popular Front, Houthis, Iraq militias like Asiab Ahl al Haq, in Pakistan the Zaynabiyoun Brigade, Afghanistan Fatemiyoun Division, Bahrain Saraya al Ashtar, Saudi Arabia Hezbollah al Hejaz, Sierra Leone AMAL movement, and groups in Congo, Ghana and Nigeria. They fund extremist groups which is why this time, unlike in the past, the allies of the US and Israel are other Middle East countries. Iran keeps power by destabilizing the entire region and most of the region wants to support areas to be able to build and modernize, like Dubai, with their oil riches. Not surprisingly, all of the terrorist organizations support killing Christians and regularly use schools and apartment buildings as human shields, because they have no value for human life. It’s also why the M.E. Doesn’t want them to acquire nuclear weapons.
Most direct events of Iran attacking the US were a while ago, the Marine Barracks, Pan Am flight, but, the guy last week who attacked the synagogue in Michigan was Hezbollah. It’s their nom de guerre to have pockets of strong attacks. It’s also how Osama bin Laden worked, and al-Qaeda also received support from Iran, particularly in the 1990’s before 9/11. So, there could also be a link to the men who bombed the buses in London on 7/7 in 2005. Don’t forget, they fund ALL of them to create chaos. Since then there has been distrust between the 2 groups but Iran allows some members of al-Qaeda to live in Iran, like Al Adl. Basically, they are a stick of dynamite and there will be no prolonged peace until they get rid of the mullahs.
Yours is a highly one-sided, selective, and inflammatory narrative about Iran and its regional role. It cherry-picks Iran's actions—proxy support, human rights issues, and alleged terrorism—while completely ignoring the foundational Western interference that helped shape the very dynamics you condemn.
Your most glaring omission is the 1953 overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh by the CIA and MI6, after Mosaddegh nationalized Iran's oil industry to reclaim control from British dominance via the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. In response, the US and UK orchestrated a coup involving paid agitators, disinformation campaigns, bribes to military and political figures, and staged unrest. These bad actors reinstated the Shah as an authoritarian, pro-Western ruler, who suppressed dissent for decades with SAVAK secret police brutality and Western backing.
The CIA itself has since formally acknowledged its central role in declassified documents in 2013 and admitted it's actions as an undemocratic act of US foreign policy. This was a pivotal event that sowed deep anti-Western resentment in Iran, eroded trust in democracy, fueled radicalization, and directly contributed to the conditions leading to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when the Shah's repressive, US-supported regime was toppled, ushering in the current theocracy.
And so it went and so it continues with Mad Dog Donald Trump, dry drunk Sec/War Pete Hegseth and as Trump himself called him once-upon-a-time, Little Marco Rubio, our current rabid neocon warmongering Secretary of State. Bless all their evil little hearts for perpetuating the same pattern of interference that started this mess in 1953—proving that history isn't just repeating; it's being actively revived
Replacing Mosaddegh was not a wise call, however, as always, it is more nuanced than that. You can support toppling a violent dictator but also be against being in charge of replacing him. Trump showed in Venezuela that he does not plan on replacing the mullahs, there is a plan for orderly elections. Britain was also directly involved in toppling Mosaddegh because he privatized the British oil holdings. Mosaddegh was not popular and the vote was highly contentious. Nationalizing the oil caused a huge crisis because he struggled to create new oil markets. The real issue was that the shah tried to dismiss him as Premier and then mobs of Mosaddegh supporters forced him to leave the country. The US and UK put the Shah back in place. The real reasons for the Shah’s unpopularity were the big chasm between city people who had many amenities and the poor living in the rural areas. This chasm is a big problem in many Middle Eastern countries and now they have addressed that by giving out a universal income for the poor. This doesn’t excuse unabated and wanton terrorism spanning over many continents.
You can be against placing the Shah in power in the past (that cannot be changed), but you can also be against a regime that had mass executions of its former supporters, which the Mullah’s did in 1988. It’s really like Stalin and the Bolsheviks and Mao and his former supporters, the Communists.
Mosaddegh, Time Magazine's 1951 Man of the Year, was an Iranian national hero for nationalizing the oil industry—until Britain engineered a boycott that caused economic hardship by mid-1953, eroding but not eliminating his support. The coup didn't just put the Shah back in power. After the failed attempt on August 15, 1953, when pro-Mosaddegh crowds forced the Shah to flee following his dismissal bid, CIA/MI6 relaunched on August 19 with paid mobs, bribed military, disinformation, and staged riots, resulting in 200–300 deaths. The Shah's later unpopularity went well beyond rural-urban divides. His brutal SAVAK repression over decades fueled the 1979 Revolution. Iran's 1988 executions of thousands were horrific, but comparisons to Stalin or Mao ignore how the 1953 coup crushed moderate nationalism, installed authoritarianism, and radicalized the forces that took over. That responsibility lies squarely with the US and UK. Trump's January 2026 Venezuela intervention—capturing Maduro and prioritizing strategic gains like oil control over clean democracy—shows the same pattern that bred instability in 1953. Time will tell. No one excuses Iran's current abuses or terrorism. But minimizing 1953 as unchangeable history while vilifying only post-1979 ignores root causes and is intellectually dishonest. Now we see the cycle repeating under the Trump regime. Breaking this pattern requires reckoning with history, not selective framing.
I’m betting he’s a Brit or Canadian. But this just means that people are in denial about the links between al-Qaeda and Iran. It took decades to realize the links between the Pan Am flight bombing and Iran.
Troll from the troll farm. Throws out bait and attempts to keep replies coming. Amount earned per comment probably climbs. ‘I voted for Trump …’ is one clue.
I think you are attributing a lot of things to Gail's SOB that he probably had nothing to do with. Klinghoffer was a PLO victim. You see, Israel organized Hamas to conflict with the PLO; the PLO is history and Hamas is the new threat. Gee, it's almost as if it was intentional.
You blame who you want, I'm sure deep down you think it's Putin's fault, and that's fine, you are free to believe whatever you choose. I'm free to believe what I choose and I blame the US Presidents who keep US troops 6,000 miles from the US, just to help strengthen the deep state. The deep state depends on people such as you, you and your ilk are their enablers; have been for decades.
@Contrarian- I was a young adult in 1979. I remember what happened. Iran was the neighborhood bully who liked to send acolytes into other neighborhoods at times. No one dared stand up to the bully which emboldened him. Until now.
I have to say you make it difficult, I try to be respectful when commenting and I will be now, but it's a challenge. Apparently you and I are in the same age bracket. I grew up believing what I guess you believe. However, after 9/11, when GW said we had to attack Afghanistan I assumed he knew something. But not long after he said WMD's in Iraq, that's when I started realizing they were lying.
Since then I started paying closer attention. I, and I think a lot of other people realize our government is corrupt & evil, and it has been for decades.
We are told Russia & Putin are evil. I believe the USSR was an evil governmental system and since Russia ended it I conclude they think it was evil too. At first I believed all the things they claimed Putin did but now I don't know. All I know for certain is our government is controlled by literal, evil people; has been for decades.
As for Iran, at the urging of the US Iraq invaded Iran in 1980. During that war the US gave Sadam, a secularist, chemical weapons and he used them against Iran; Iran did not retaliate with chemical weapons of their own.
Also at the urging of the US, via the UN, Iran has had severe sanctions imposed on them, and for 47 years the US, and now Israel have been trying to overthrow their government by killing leaders and civilians; they have not retaliated in kind. And finally, after this recent US/Israel invasion everything Iran has done has been as a response to things done to them. Consider this, a week or so ago the US bombed an Iranian water treatment plant. Iran responded by bombing one in Bahrain; they haven't attacked any more because everyone knows water treatment plants are vital in that region. So since the US hasn't done it again, they haven't done it again. I call that a measured response.
I am no fan of Iran but I suspect that's at least partially because I have been exposed to decades of western propaganda; which means now I don't know what to think about Iran. But I do know what to think about the US government.
I love my country very much but I do not love my country's government as it is currently controlled. The saddest part is we should be that beacon on the hill, but in reality we are that overlord on the hill, trying to rule the world. That's Lindsey Graham's fantasy, not mine. 🤠
There’s that pattern again, folks! See it? “I voted for Trump twice….BUT” Gain our trust with “I’m in your court” but then plant propaganda and doubt/hate about Trump. Hmmmm Why? What’s the purpose of doing that? 🤔🤔
Others are “I’ve been here since the beginning, but” and “I love reading Jeff every day, he saved me during Covid, but”
I have never had to preface my comments with that. And people who DID vote for Trump three times don’t talk the way these clowns do. They want it to be possible so badly that they have to make it up.
And there are a scant few out there, but very scant, who have stopped trusting Trump, but they were never really in Trump’s camp to begin with and joined MAGA for other reasons. They are easily brainwashed by propaganda in the same way the left is. Some hear CNN type headlines and come here with absolute assuredness that Jeff is compromised, touting the narrative. 😆 But most are here on false pretenses and their arguments reflect it.
Agree. We voted to stop being the 'Policemen of the World' and for good reason. 1) We're bad at it. 2) It's extremely expensive with little obvious benefit (to us). 3) When a GOP president starts a war, we lose badly in elections.
Washing Windows
A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.
“That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better detergent.”
Her husband looked on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.
A month later, the young woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,
“Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”
The husband replied, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life … What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.
"When you judge a person it doesn't define them. It defines you."
Similar to Yeshua's admonition to the Pharisees about their condeming the "gnat size small infractions of Jewish laws" committed by the laity when THEY the "heirarchy of Judaism" were committing infractions the size of a camel!!

Sounds like the husband wasn't washing the windows enough......😁😏
Haha, this made me laugh on so many levels, KS.
Through what window are you watching the husband?
I AM the husband. I know enough to only do what I'm told and when to do it.......
That sounds like the beginning of wisdom to me. =)

Take the log out of your own eye, then you will be able to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
At the same time the government and church officials MUST judge blatant sin and evil acts or there is not justice. We must pray if we feel judgmental but we must not be stupid. I fully embrace the story about humans having a paradigm they filter everything through and we must constantly evaluate that in ourselves We also must never call bad good.
There are responsibilities present in the “Do not judge”.
This whole conversation is the tricky stuff. Do not hide or cover evil. Essentially judge yourself while not judging others as God but also do not hang out with or bless evil.
Tricky on purpose as you know KK.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he hath been a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his [d]own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Because this is his realm, Jesus did not refute this:
8 Again the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 And said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down, and worship me.
So 100%,
8 Be sober, and watch: for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Watch your back, Jack.
The most stupid thing about Satan is that he did not realize he could give Jesus nothing as Jesus already owns all the real estate and all the Kingdoms already. Satan must be more stupid than we think.
His followers are even more stupid.
What has the father of lies promised them for their service?
IT'S A LIE.
Speaking of Satan and LIE'S - here are some links to Dr. Sean O'Leary from the great Satan State of Colorado who Jeff writes about today. "Dr. Sean O’Leary, quoted extensively, who leads the lawsuit to block ACIP from meeting at all, on anything. O’Leary is literally trying to shut down the ACIP."

Beautiful TRUTH!
Yes, removing the plank from your own eye before dealing with the speck in someone else’s is always the prudent course of action. Thank you for the gentle reminder!
42 Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
. . .
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
— John 1: 1-5, 14 NAS95

Scripture that proclaims God’s glory and Light shining in our darkness always encourages me. Thank you, Janice.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” – Psalm 27:1
That is one of my favorites. Our Savior walks on water, walked out of the grave, and walks with us. What could we possibly be afraid of?
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Look at Jesus, not the storm nor the water nor the fear brimming inside you.
My pastor sings this hymn often. I love it
Favorite,, Just love the beginning of John Janice... Our lord and Savior.. Our life. Thanks for this today.
In the beginning was Hippocrates:
The sunspot cycle was linked to disease as far back as Hippocrates. The recent 11 year cycle began in 2019 (Covid?) And ends for UN Agenda 2030. It is peaking in 2025. It causes Influenza due to its influence on the body. Sadly Influenza disappeared and was labelled Covid. No vaccine prevents sunspot diseases, like Influenza.
Hallelujah
Janice, check out this post "The Gospel Belongs to the World" by Peggy Tierney:
https://tierneyrealnewsnetwork.substack.com/p/the-gospel-belongs-to-the-world?r=h9rb1&utm_medium=ios
“Working alongside others to challenge governments that forbid the Gospel is not an act of aggression; it is an act of witness."
"If billions of people live under governments that tightly restrict the preaching of the Gospel, should Christians simply accept that situation as permanent? Should we quietly accept a world where entire nations are effectively closed to the message of salvation?”
An amazing substack.
Thank you for sharing.
I learned of Peggy’s Substack through a C&C commenter a few weeks ago. She is an excellent writer who provides comprehensive, real news. 🙏
Ine of my favorites. First passage learned while studying koine Greek.😍
I need to learn the biblical languages.
I have always loved this verse, especially the translation that says “The Light shines [present tense] in the darkness, and the darkness has not [cannot] overcome it.”
In these difficult times, as it’s been well said, don’t just curse the darkness — be a light-bearer!
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 NIV
This passage always makes my heart sing.
I love the scene from “The Chosen” depicting John writing this with Mary, mother of Jesus. I need to watch it again
I have heard that Tucker is deranged, an antisemite, etc so I decided to go on Spotify and listen to him objectively and draw my own conclusions. What he says seems very reasonable but certainly not acceptable by the masses. His interview with Carrie Prejean was eye opening and deserves a listen by any religious person. I'm not religious but it was disturbing. At this point, I don't think anyone has the market on the full truth. I did learn from covid, however, that when people are publicly called names in unison by the elites, there's usually a reason. There's no need to prove anything, just enough name calling and censorship and the masses will believe 2+2=5. This war can be about whatever you want it to be depending on who you choose to trust.
I used to listen to Tucker a lot when he first went independent - then he went crazy anti-Israel... Not listened to him since...
I think his antisemitism is rooted in his father beliefs as well. I too like him and respected his opinions. But when he went full anti Israel I looked at him differently and do not like what I saw. He's dead to me. As is Candace Owens.
Being critical of US-Israel relations is not ‘antisemitism’ no matter how many times this narrative is stated. Nor is this ‘anti-Zionist’. These labels for those who question the US-Israel relationship are designed to shut down dialogue, IMO.
he's taken it miles future than that............
How exactly? Tucker has repeatedly stated that he loves Israel and that he loves the Jewish people. But that criticizing a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT is NEVER off the table for anyone. Yet, the new definition of 'antisemitism" is being critical of a foreign government - specifically one government. And what Hunter's Dance is referring to is the term Semite, which has been perverted over the years. Semites include Hebrews, Arabs and Arameans. The term was actually used to classify languages - linguistics. Come on people, let's open up our history books and do more reading and then listen to the people who are being criticized by any establishment figure.
He’s taken ‘what’ and exactly miles further? It sure ‘feels’ like the rabid opposition to Tucker from some (all?) quarters is based on fear. Fear that US support for Israel will waver or be undermined and the modern state of Israel will fold and cease to exist. It seems like the push back comes from a deep place of existential fear. Am I wrong? I look at Israel and see a strong country that is high-trust, has a decent/high birth rate and a proven ability to hold and defend its borders.
What is a Semite, Dennis?
why are you asking this??
So, I watched him yesterday discussing with Bret Weinstein and he publicly stated how he was NO anti-semitic and Bret( one of his best friends) IS Jewish and acknowledged that. So, I feel I must trust a Jew acknowledging he is NOT an anti-Semite more than your assessment. Maybe he is Still somewhat anti-establishment Israel but not anti-Semite. . . ?
So, I will keep using my grain of salt here. . .
Loooosh looosh...
what????
He is not anti-Israel, he is questioning Bibi and his admin's motives. Good Grief. In case you have not heard, Bibi is not perfect and acts like a Pharisee. That does not make you an anti-Semite. Israel is made up of a lot of Jewish people and Bibi is just one of many in a leadership position. We are not mandated in the US to be forced to, held at gunpoint to, mandated to like anyone, anything, any religion, any gender, any sexual orientation, any politics, any agenda, other countries, world leaders. As Tucker, I am highly suspect of Bibi and so are many of my Jewish friends.
I dunno, some of Tucker's comments seem less questioning than accusing to me. In any case, i prefer to look at what world leaders DO, than what they or others SAY. What I see Netanyahu (and Trump) doing is finally addressing evil that has festered for generations, and has only gotten worse until they began putting stop to it. My observation over the years that Hamas has done nothing to create a healthy state in Gaza, Hezbollah has taken the entire country of Lebanon captive and damaged it, preventing it from being a healthy state, and that both of them are obvious dedicated proxies of Iran settles any action against them in my mind.
You're worth hanging with!
What a fighter
Graphite - you’re so right. Anyone who still thinks Tucker is reasonable and knows what he’s talking about on any subject needs to listen to his interview of the revisionist “historian” Darryl Cooper. It is off the wall nutso - Tucker nodding approvingly when Cooper blames Churchill for starting World War II or the other bizarre things he puts forth.
There’s something seriously wrong with Tucker and I cannot like someone I do not respect. Just sayin’.
Oy Vey, next. Tucker is reasonable. Perhaps there is something seriously wrong with you to condemn him. Glad you don't like me as I am pro Tucker. Good riddens.
"riddance"
Same. I used to be a paid subscriber but cancelled that several months ago. His choice of the “religious figures” in Israel has been very unbalanced. He does not have anyone on with a different viewpoint from Israel, only those that are in line with the Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state. Which is hogwash. He fawned over and agreed with much of why the despicable Nick Fuentes had to say but went after the jugular with Cruz and Huckabee. He’s lost balance and perspective. It’s like the demon he says attacked him hasn’t actually gone anywhere. There has been a change. I do not trust him anymore and I would not be surprised at this point to learn that he did in fact pass info to Iran. I hope the facts are conclusive when presented.
Annie Rudy - I used to be a huge supporter of Tucker too - was furious when FOX fired him - followed him to his podcast. But the more I watched the in-depth interviews, the more I realized he’s not the in-depth thinker I had believed he was. And then, as you’ve said so clearly, he changed. I stopped listening after the Cooper interview because it was just so bizarre although I am aware of the other interviews. I can’t figure it out either - perhaps the years of alcoholism have caught up, perhaps it’s a “follow the money” or perhaps it’s the demon which he said attacked him. Whatever it is, it’s troubling.
Darryl Cooper is correct, as is David Irving. It’s just people are either too lazy or stupid to analyze what they say versus what they were told in school. Of course a lot of these people also believe Muslim hijackers with box cutters flew airplanes into buildings on 9/11…a lot of them took COVID jabs too. Sheep.
Why, yes, CK. I’m sure there are a lot of people too lazy or stupid to analyze what they say versus what they were told in school.
so you deny the holocaust?
I didn’t agree with a lot of what Darryl Cooper stated. But, there’s one part he spoke of that I think is truth. Darryl stated that forever wars since WW2, have been advanced by using ‘WW2 tropes’ to either gain support, or to discredit and marginalize detractors. Examples include:
‘He’s like Hitler’ …and must be stopped
‘Don’t be a Chamberlain’ or don’t be weak and fooled by the enemy
‘Stand strong like Churchill’ to remain with the fight…
I would not heard these ‘propaganda’ truths if I had not listed to Tucker interview of Cooper.
This is interesting: https://insurrectionbarbie.substack.com/p/why-chabad-baal-and-dugin-all-connect?r=nl3ud&utm_medium=ios
They’re using the time tested blood libel against Jews that led to the continuous pogroms and finally the Holocaust. But now Jews have a tiny but powerful nation of their own.
That IS interesting! Thank you. "An OCR error, a livestream, an Iranian state rally, a Russian philosopher, an American pundit, and a word that hadn’t existed in mainstream American political vocabulary becomes the explanatory framework for an active war spoken by people with combined audiences of tens of millions." So much—maybe the majority—of the conspiracy-theory chatter so prevalent now has a similar trajectory. It's like the children's game of Gossip, where the original sentence is passed around a circle and ends up bearing no relationship at all to the original.
I looked that interview with Darryl Cooper!
Fascinating man!

Jeff did a great balanced post on this, saving me from reading the articles I have avoided.
Jeff says things well, "But it’s even sillier if you spend ten seconds thinking about it." How so many fail to spend those seconds due to emotional pre-conceptions.
I keep hearing that he's anti- Israel, but I haven't seen specific references. I listened to a recent interview from 2/19 where he interviewed a Dr Fares Abraham, a Palestinian-American preacher that was born & raised in Bethlehem. Nothing in that interview sounded like he was anti-Israel. of course that was just ONE interview.
I'd truly love resources that show he is anti Israel. I'm not a racing fan of Tucker's or anything, but I've generally agreed with most (never all) of his perspectives. If he's gone off the deep end, I'd like to know.
Since the farce of October 7 when the IDF stood down for NINE HOURS while the rag tag Hamas attacked Israeli settlers, in order to have the excuse to annihilate Gaza, I too, have become rabid anti Israel. So did Charlie Kirk right before death. Time to take another look at the difference between Judaism and Zionism. The latter are satanic!
Fanatics in any group are dangerous. God has Israel's back so I don't know what all the hubbub is about. Israel is not going anywhere. It will not be destroyed.
You cannot know with certainty that the Israeli government deliberately sacrificed 1200 Israeli lives just to have an "excuse to annihilate Gaza." Everything that has to do with human decisions is complicated and subject to unpredictable variables, which are not known by onlookers. Your degree in molecular biology does not qualify you to understand what's going on in the larger world. Your pride in being "rabid" is horrifying.
Same
If you believe he's anti-Israel, you haven't listened to any of the interviews he's held.
I've been listening to Tucker for a very long time. Recently, something is not quite right.
Everyone has a price.
LOL. What is your price?
This may explain some of the changes : https://insurrectionbarbie.substack.com/p/why-chabad-baal-and-dugin-all-connect?r=nl3ud&utm_medium=ios
"...when people are publicly called names in unison by the elites, there's usually a reason. There's no need to prove anything, just enough name calling and censorship and the masses will believe 2+2=5..."
Thank you Jennifer for speaking the truth! For years, the Woke Left threw the "Racist!" accusation at us as if that justified everything they did. Now the NeoCon/Zionist war party throws "Antisemite" at anyone critical of the USG backing genocide in the ME. "They" can't be criticized because they are the superior people. Right! /s
"There's no need to prove anything, just enough name calling"
Standard MKUltra mind control techniques. 'Never address the information, instead discredit the source'.
And people who don't research fall for it every time.
Tucker said SOMETHING the Zionists didn't approve, and oh look, Tucker Carlson is suddenly being discredited in the media.
Be careful Tucker, our once great America is now under Zionist regime.
I think we all know, even if we won't admit it, Charlie Kirk was killed for this very reason.
Don't worry Phil, Charlie Kirk was not shot.

The fake Charlie Kirk shooting was as fake as the fake AF Trump shooting.

There was a sociology experiment held long ago (in 1960’s) where a large (300 person class) were all given the same quote. Except 1/2 the class given the quote saw it attributed to MLK Jr. and the other half to Spiro Agnew. For those of you old enough to know, Spiro was involved in a political scandal at the time, not well liked at the time by the youth. The class was then asked to give impressions of the quote. Those that had quote w/ MLK Jr. name attributed gave it glowing, positive reviews. Those w/ Agnew, the opposite. Source bias is a reality around us, daily. We cannot ‘hear’ anything of value if the speaker is vilified by one’s own ‘tribe’. This goes both for Right and Left.
I was a huge Tucker fan. But, always bothered by his hyena laugh. Perhaps I was onto something.
You can know a person by what they find funny. Tucker is one that laughs at things that aren’t funny by normal standards.
I love Tuckers laugh.
Your loss. What does your laugh sound like? Oh that's right. You don't laugh. You just post negative comments constantly. Next.
?
Your love is fierce and beautiful.
Thank you it is heartening to see ferocity first thing in the morning as others feed.
It was super creepy at the Charlie Kirk memorial.
Don't disagree with that!
LOL.
After listening to that particular interview, I am convinced that Trump is surrounded by evil whisperers…. Especially Paula White…that is why we are in a war at the moment.
Paula White is a complete wacko charlatan and should be nowhere near the President. But don't give her too much credit. She doesn't have that much pull.
You might be surprised what a “Jezebel” can do…
She is a Pharisee indeed.
Things seemed to go downhill when they brought in Jared Kushner to tag along with Witkoff. Somehow, I don' think that's a coincidence.
Not at all. Great negotiations have been had with both of them.
I haven't listened to any Tucker for quite a while, but I was quite alarmed when I heard of Trump's association with White. Very disturbing to think she might be discipling him on any level. Why???????
Yes, she is his Spiritual Leader. I pray that is fake news. The woman is bad news.
I haven’t seen her in Trump 2.0, but do recall her being around in 1.0.
I found a lot of truth yesterday in this analysis of what we are seeing happening that is causing the divide in the right:
https://x.com/defiyantlyfree/status/2029681200189636717
Like Jeff I am pro-Tucker for many reasons, but I was taken aback when he stated that Christian Zionists are worse than Islamic Terrorists. 😳 Of course taken out of context it’s unfair to him, and I thought he was referring to a specific type within that group, (all groups have radicals,) but according to the definition of Zionist - well, I guess I am a Christian Zionist? Since I believe Israel has a right to be a nation and inhabit their ancestral land? Maybe the term means something different these days?? But to have him make such a blanket statement that a group like that is worse than terrorists ?? That went a field too far for me.
All we can do is pray for him. The analysis above explains things we are really fighting, and if true then they wanted to convert as many as possible from our side, and converting Tucker and others like him would gain them a LOT of followers, and has. She makes a good point that they can’t win in debate so they have to convert. It would also make sense why they are attacking TPUSA so fiercely. It was supposed to die and Erika is keeping it alive.
Hi Juju - I hope we can do a lot more than pray for Tucker. We need to call him out on his dangerous lies. I find something sinister about his habit of putting out something really outrageous and then saying, “I’m just asking questions.” No, he’s not “just asking questions.” He’s spreading a lot of evil. He has a lot of influence and we have to fight for truth and for people to see what’s right.
Well, you DID just see me call him out above
Hi Juju - yes, I meant all of us.
Spot on Juju. Fanatics are the worst anywhere you find them, even if they are "Christians". You can't reason with them, debate them. I refuse to use the word Zionist as that allows for a govt to genocide others including children and I will have no part in that.
Of course Israel has a right to exist and thrive and God will ensure that like He always has. I am not convinced Bibi and his admin even have faith in the God of Israel and I sure as heck believe had Bibi he lived in the days of Jesus, Bibi would have called for Barrabas to be free.
“…word Zionist as that allows for a govt to genocide others including children and I will have no part in that.”
I’m not finding that in official definitions of what a Zionist is. But that is what those who hate them claim about them, and then those smears get circulated as fact.
Of couse you would not find that in the definition. Just seeing what is going on is proof throughout history.
Quite a bit of history in the Bible, Lori. Zion is mentioned 152 times in the OT, 7 times in the new. So, as Tucker would say, 'it's a real thing'.
That’s a pretty hefty accusation though. For that I would need solid evidence.
Read history and current events.
From a completely different Jennifer....just so y'all know that there are two of us. I don't listen much to Tucker anymore; but the dot-connecting is intriguing. I was upset when both Tucker and Megyn Kelley stated that our servicemen killed in the Iran operation died for Israel, not for the United States. That is a cruel way to frame your opposition to the war, at a time when the grieving families' loss is still raw.
We don't know for sure that they did not.
Yes, we do.
No we don't.
I am pro Tucker. I saw the interview with Carrie and there are many hypocrites and weaklings on that religious committee. They are the Pharisees. Paula White is a real piece of work. On Truth Social, people like Marlin Stutzman, a US Rep, is pounding Tucker and describing him in the worst terms. I am glad Tucker is investigating how much influence Bibi and his admin have in the US. But that makes Tucker a anti-semite-I call BS on that. Sounds like some Repubs are using Antifa tactics to destroy others. I am happy to hear you find him reasonable as I do too.
Does Tucker have top level security clearance? Is it illegal to talk, text share information with foreigners? Has a war been officially declared? Did Tucker allegedly talk with Iranians before or after the Supreme Leader got murdered? After the Covid fiasco does anyone here still feel we can trust our government? Just asking…
"...can trust our government?" Of course not! But we can trust the CIA... oh, wait.......
Was it an preplanned plot by us for Tucker to leak to the Iranian leaders so we could kill them?
Was thinking the same thing. Trump and his chess game.
The Iranians took over an American embassy and murdered around a thousand Americans over the last few years.
Yes, he's a traitor.
Oh wait... you need to use the antisemite slur to really nail it!
Well maybe Mike Huckabee will befriend him now if that is the case.
Thank you Jack.
Tucker used to be very trustworthy. He seems to have gone off the rails as of late. His hatred of Israel is really making him deranged.
He does not hate Israel as he has said countless times. He questions and is very leery of Bibi and I don't blame him.
Pray for Tucker. Pray the Iranians don’t kill him over false intelligence ( if he did indeed give them information), pray the US Government does not abuse constitutional protections, pray that Truth is revealed sooner rather than later and pray that the faith Tucker and his family have in God and his son remains strong and a refuge.
I used to love Tucker but when he started going off the rails with the anti-American BS years ago and sucking up to Russia and Iran I tuned out.

I have thought for a long time that tucker was connected to the CIA mockingbird media. Since his Feb 2024 Putin Interview (minutes 45 - 46 in the interview) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYfByTcY49k He never responded to Putin when he outed Tucker as having tried to join CIA. Tucker very obviously seemed a bit taken back. The particular angle on this video does not show Tucker's facial expression but I remember watching the interview when it aired on TV (probably on Fox) and think that normally Tucker would have laughed out loud at such a suggestion vs what he did, stare dumbfounded and not flinch or react in any way as if it was common knowledge - which it was not at that time. What I got from his face was that he was thinking to himself "how the hell did he find out about that, and he just said that on Russian TV" Which means it could/would air in Russian even if US media censored it. Either way, there are good and bad guys in all of these orgs. Maybe he's one of the good ones? It's hard to tell anything nowadays.
Similar to Graphite, used to listen to Tucker a lot, some eye opening interviews, his letting the interviewed talk fully was so refreshing and educational. But recent interviews and his own pronouncements have chilled my interest. What with Jeff, Amir Tsarfati, a couple others, my listening/reading time is still full.
I agree with you. Many in the truth community believe that much of what we see & hear coming from various sources is to throw us off track or to get a particular narrative out there. I am pessimistic about everything I hear now. No judgements until more time passes
I’ve always thought the best people to hire into government positions like the ACIP board, are people that have been harmed by previous policies, and Biden’s policies harmed many. I believe Dr. Malone is a cochair on the ACIP board. When he invented RNA technology the reason he stopped working on it was once injected into the body there was no control on where it went in the body. Inevitably there would be terrible inflammation causing serious problems. Before he took his 2 shots he called Dr. Marks and asked him if these problems had been solved. Marks lied to him and said yes they have been, but they were not. Dr. Malone not only got serious adverse reactions from the shots he also got a severe case of Covid, had a hard time breathing and thought he may die. To me he’s a perfect hire onto the ACIP board. Knowledgable, invented it, was harmed by it and personally found out it was not effective at all. At this time where most all trust in the medical establishment has been lost, people that have been harmed by lies have a strong motivation to try to fix the problems, just my opinion. Just look at Trump himself and what Biden did to him!
Great thought
Policy should indeed require such boards to include those who have harmed by the actions of said boards.
When Trump was elected (this current admin and not the previous two) I told my conservative friends that the best thing he could do throughout his admin is hire government whistleblowers. THEY are the courageous ones willing to fight for what is truly right because going up against the feds is not for the faint of heart. It will destroy your livelihood and create great emotional distress. Lived this through my husband who is now, thankfully, retired.
Oh, the stories I could tell…..
Oy Jeff. I'm extremely disappointed that you state you are still pro-Tucker.
I *used to be* pro-Tucker and even was an early paid subscriber to Tucker's podcast channel. But after his Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Daryl Cooper (who blames WWII on Churchill, not Hitler!) and Munther Isaac, a pastor based in Gaza who made ALL SORTS of DEMONSTRABLY FALSE claims that showed his Jew Hatred - all of that coupled with Tucker's aggressive (to put it mildly) interviews of Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, put Tucker squarely in the Jew Hating, ENEMY camp.
It is one thing to have controversial people on one's show. I too am pro-free speech.
It is another thing entirely to nod in dopey agreement with those spouting vile click-bait blood libels and letting those lies stand unchallenged while aggressively grilling respected conservatives.
Can’t you be Pro Tucker and not agree with him? Why is it to be Pro anything it has to be 100%? I don’t agree with anyone 100%. So I wouldn’t be pro anything?!? I’ve like Tucker as far as listening to him. His rants. His different points of view. Doesn’t mean I agree with him. I agree with asking questions. I agree that once people start attacking the same person I want to pay attention because I felt like that was the Covid way. I don’t want to be in an echo chamber. I want to stretch my brain. It’s one of the reasons I come to the comments. This comment section has primarily been positive in discussion minus maybe the last week IMO. For the most part people share and discuss respectfully so people can learn from one another. When discussion happens people learn. Ideas are exchanged.
I’m not disappointed with Jeff’s ‘pro Tucker’
I’ll ask you as I have never listened to Tucker or Candace: I feel that no one in Congress should be taking $ from Isreal lobbyists or any other country lobbyists. I feel that no one in Congress should have dual citizenship w any other country. I feel that Isreal should be free to fight their wars as they see fit and I feel that we should not have to always give them $ or arms. They are a wealthy country they can pay and purchase arms if they want them. I have lots of Jewish friends. Would you classify me as anti- semetic? I do t think I’m anti semetic or anti Isreal I would just like to be pro USA and nothing g else
Israel is a tiny country with a small population. It is surrounded by countries filled with people who want to kill them. They do purchase arms from those willing to sell to them (many are unwilling - including Biden who put a hold on many arms even after they had alteady been paid for - although he had no problem GIVING arms to Ukraine).
Churchill did to Germany in Dresden what Israel did to Gaza to create the war with Hitler who sued for peace.
Sound familiar?
Well. That pretty sick and stupid.
Go read some actual history.
The Bard is fool. And a tool.
So Dresden didn’t get firebombed?
I have to agree that the lack of handling conservative guests equally revealed a disturbing bias. I didn’t hear what others did during the interview with Cooper, and found it thought provoking, and I noticed that the spreading of what was said was by people who hadn’t listened to the whole interview and just parroted a few Pro-Israel voices who told them what was said - basically shielding people from ever hearing it for themselves, and that’s an overused tactic too. (Note I AM pro-Israel, and still noticed that.) And I listened to the Fuentes interview too but that’s when I noticed a distinct difference in the lack of challenging him to the same ferocity he challenged Cruz and Huckabee. His bias was significant and showed clearly and that disappointed me. Challenge them all equally, or let them all share their propaganda undeterred. But when you are selective that raises a red flag.
Exactly.
If you believe Tucker hates Joos, you haven't listened to him.
Gail - thanks for a to-the-point response. I couldn’t agree more.
My experience with these “experts” from my many years in scientific research is that most are socially inept folks whose lives depend on their research and the praise extended.

What test are they using for Monkeypox? Don't tell me...PCR.
I remember when DeSantis was the first to say they spin the PCR intil.they get a positive result or something to that effect. Also the inventor of the test said it was not meant for that. And Kary Mullis did in 2019 not too suspicious
Dr. Kary Mullis - Inventor of the PCR Test - Says It Cannot Be Used To Diagnose an Illness: https://old.bitchute.com/video/yKy6g9Yd9qOR [1.46mins]
With PCR if you look hard enough, you can find anything you want.
And suddenly dead.
Anyone who uses PCR as an analytical tools knows that. Many folks were saying that before the Governor
Yes, they set the cycle threshold up too high on the PCR tests to assure positive results.

Mornin, Doc.
Jeff, you have been traveling a significant amount. I hope you get a ton of rest & fun.
Thank you Jeff. I can no longer tolerate other news sources as they all seem to have profanity. I just don’t need that negativity. Your daily articles is truly a blessing.
HHM, I agree about the widespread profanity. I despise seeing and hearing the f-bomb casually tossed out everywhere you go these days!
Agree, though i would be a bit more precise. The explosion is of vulgarities. Profanity being a curse or inappropriate use of God's name, while vulgarities are use of words considered too vulgar and inappropriate for normal conversation. I may seem pedantic, but the proliferation of vulgarities has cheapened, downgraded and coarsened our public discourse in a horrific way. Back when i was gainfully employed, i observed that the quantity of vulgarities in a coworker's speech varied inversly with his intelligence, value to the company, and trustworthiness. It was an obvious "tell". It still is.
True. Thank you for the correction!
Here's hoping help is finally on the way for those afflicted with vaccine injuries.
Gotta admit the covid DeathVax was deadly first.
Details, details.
Great article Jeff. Those who commented before me did not read the article before commenting.
They never do. For some reason there’s an unspoken competition to be the first commenter on here. Not sure why.
I call it “attention seeking behavior” by people who are piggybacking off of Mr. Childers hard work. So impressed he is able to coherently blog while on a road trip & have it on time. Have a wonderful vacation Childers family! 🚗
Bragging rights. Like winning an Oscar; it doesn't mean anything, but it's nice to show off.
Who cares?
First commenter stuff is us as "adults" running (or limping) out to the car calling "front seat! Front seat!" first
Most of us are still stuck there (or here). That makes me more worried about us than lizard people taking over because we're like this.
So?
The traitor is Donald Trump who ran as a Peace President. Remember? I voted for Trump twice, and given the alternative, don't regret my vote. But let's be honest, the traitor isn't Tucker Carlson, and it's pretty rich to imply otherwise. Instead, since we're in the land of speculation, let's talk about why the US Uniparty preemptively bombed Iran. And by the way, where is Netanyahu?
Netanyahu is in Israel getting coffee at a coffee shop. Did you not see the video?
My complaint is that the war is taking sooooo long. Man, it’s already been about two weeks. That’s like longer than WWII isn’t it? And if they don’t watch it, the military will end up spending more than the Somalis in Minnesota stole, not even including California fraud. What IS this country coming to when the one federal responsibility listed in the constitution actually happens.
Here’s a question for ya, if what Trump did (And which every president since Jimmah talked about doing as well as every democrat “leader”) brings peace to the ME for the next hundred years, can we then call him the peace president? If what Trump did to Venezuela brings peace, does that count as being a peace president? Does liberating enslaved populations make him a good president or a traitor?
Enquiring minds want to know, o wise one.
Thank you for that comment Idaho. That vid of BB, is that the one where he has six fingers? The Iranian regime knows how to use AI also it seems.
Lol different video.
I’m surprised the Islamists have gone back to using technology after the beeper/cell phone incidents😂.
I thought they had gone back to cans and strings.
If there was some track record of US intervention bringing peace and stability to regions, especially in the Middle East, maybe your logic would be worth listening to.
Oh so true. Pax Americana has been such a failure. I mean look at Europe, look at Japan, look at South Korea. Hellholes and at war constantly.
Whereas the religion of pieces is the one we want to import, amiright?
That is Johnny the ZERO’s religion, doncha know?

Compare South Korea with North korea.
One has lights all over and is an industrial powerhouse.
One has a missileman for a leader.
Strange how you left out the Middle East in your example....
Are you really so intellectually incapable of doing your own research that you need to be spoonfed every bit of info on America’s capacity for good from the founding until yesterday?
That’s obviously rhetorical.
You have a blessed day hating America.
Why are you deflecting from the main point of my comment - military intervention has never worked in the middle east.
Childish smears - have blessed day hating america. Der der der der. I don't agree with you so you hate america! You must be a muslim! you must love Kamala! Grow up.
Let's go ask Kuwait how they feel.
Oh, and the Israelis.
Kuwaitis would like a word with you.
So would Grenadians.
So would Panamanians.
So would Germans.
Japanese.
Belgians.
French.
I can go on.
You missed the point Benny. When has US intervention gone well in the Middle East? You could argue it "goes well" when we prop up dictators who exercise brute force over their populations, but I don't think the people living there thinks those interventions went well.
Different President, different strategy. He has made that clear. How is this so hard for you?
Can't disagree that historically western intervention is mostly unintended consequences going back to europe slicing up the tribal lands and creating the (intended?) Disfunctional ME countries we are stuck with today. (Probably before that too, to the early days of Islam terrorizing their neighbors and even before that, the area has been a war zone for millenia). However Pres Trump's approach to delete the subset that has us and all it's mid east neighbors in it's crosshairs, and let them sort it out is novel, and might even work, where nation building has failed over and over in that very strange area with a tribal worldview so foreign to us.

Sadly, there will never be peace in the ME until the Antichrist makes his appearance.
So you define as being the opposite of peace the guy who FINALLY TAKES OUT the SOB who has been killing and terrorizing Americans (and others) for FORTY-SEVEN YEARS?
Got it.
You have ZERO knowledge or understanding of the historical relationship between the US and Iran to regurgitate this BS. All you are doing is repeating US Uniparty State Department Propaganda. Americans are so gullible and stupid. Congratulations.
You can have a strong stance against the war, there are reasons to be. But, it will be a very difficult position to find any points to support Iran. Iran is responsible for: between Khamenei’s code on how to properly molest girls younger than 9 , various terrorist organizations that they support, like: Hamas, Hezbollah, PIJ, Popular Front, Houthis, Iraq militias like Asiab Ahl al Haq, in Pakistan the Zaynabiyoun Brigade, Afghanistan Fatemiyoun Division, Bahrain Saraya al Ashtar, Saudi Arabia Hezbollah al Hejaz, Sierra Leone AMAL movement, and groups in Congo, Ghana and Nigeria. They fund extremist groups which is why this time, unlike in the past, the allies of the US and Israel are other Middle East countries. Iran keeps power by destabilizing the entire region and most of the region wants to support areas to be able to build and modernize, like Dubai, with their oil riches. Not surprisingly, all of the terrorist organizations support killing Christians and regularly use schools and apartment buildings as human shields, because they have no value for human life. It’s also why the M.E. Doesn’t want them to acquire nuclear weapons.
Most direct events of Iran attacking the US were a while ago, the Marine Barracks, Pan Am flight, but, the guy last week who attacked the synagogue in Michigan was Hezbollah. It’s their nom de guerre to have pockets of strong attacks. It’s also how Osama bin Laden worked, and al-Qaeda also received support from Iran, particularly in the 1990’s before 9/11. So, there could also be a link to the men who bombed the buses in London on 7/7 in 2005. Don’t forget, they fund ALL of them to create chaos. Since then there has been distrust between the 2 groups but Iran allows some members of al-Qaeda to live in Iran, like Al Adl. Basically, they are a stick of dynamite and there will be no prolonged peace until they get rid of the mullahs.
Yours is a highly one-sided, selective, and inflammatory narrative about Iran and its regional role. It cherry-picks Iran's actions—proxy support, human rights issues, and alleged terrorism—while completely ignoring the foundational Western interference that helped shape the very dynamics you condemn.
Your most glaring omission is the 1953 overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh by the CIA and MI6, after Mosaddegh nationalized Iran's oil industry to reclaim control from British dominance via the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. In response, the US and UK orchestrated a coup involving paid agitators, disinformation campaigns, bribes to military and political figures, and staged unrest. These bad actors reinstated the Shah as an authoritarian, pro-Western ruler, who suppressed dissent for decades with SAVAK secret police brutality and Western backing.
The CIA itself has since formally acknowledged its central role in declassified documents in 2013 and admitted it's actions as an undemocratic act of US foreign policy. This was a pivotal event that sowed deep anti-Western resentment in Iran, eroded trust in democracy, fueled radicalization, and directly contributed to the conditions leading to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when the Shah's repressive, US-supported regime was toppled, ushering in the current theocracy.
And so it went and so it continues with Mad Dog Donald Trump, dry drunk Sec/War Pete Hegseth and as Trump himself called him once-upon-a-time, Little Marco Rubio, our current rabid neocon warmongering Secretary of State. Bless all their evil little hearts for perpetuating the same pattern of interference that started this mess in 1953—proving that history isn't just repeating; it's being actively revived
Replacing Mosaddegh was not a wise call, however, as always, it is more nuanced than that. You can support toppling a violent dictator but also be against being in charge of replacing him. Trump showed in Venezuela that he does not plan on replacing the mullahs, there is a plan for orderly elections. Britain was also directly involved in toppling Mosaddegh because he privatized the British oil holdings. Mosaddegh was not popular and the vote was highly contentious. Nationalizing the oil caused a huge crisis because he struggled to create new oil markets. The real issue was that the shah tried to dismiss him as Premier and then mobs of Mosaddegh supporters forced him to leave the country. The US and UK put the Shah back in place. The real reasons for the Shah’s unpopularity were the big chasm between city people who had many amenities and the poor living in the rural areas. This chasm is a big problem in many Middle Eastern countries and now they have addressed that by giving out a universal income for the poor. This doesn’t excuse unabated and wanton terrorism spanning over many continents.
You can be against placing the Shah in power in the past (that cannot be changed), but you can also be against a regime that had mass executions of its former supporters, which the Mullah’s did in 1988. It’s really like Stalin and the Bolsheviks and Mao and his former supporters, the Communists.
Mosaddegh, Time Magazine's 1951 Man of the Year, was an Iranian national hero for nationalizing the oil industry—until Britain engineered a boycott that caused economic hardship by mid-1953, eroding but not eliminating his support. The coup didn't just put the Shah back in power. After the failed attempt on August 15, 1953, when pro-Mosaddegh crowds forced the Shah to flee following his dismissal bid, CIA/MI6 relaunched on August 19 with paid mobs, bribed military, disinformation, and staged riots, resulting in 200–300 deaths. The Shah's later unpopularity went well beyond rural-urban divides. His brutal SAVAK repression over decades fueled the 1979 Revolution. Iran's 1988 executions of thousands were horrific, but comparisons to Stalin or Mao ignore how the 1953 coup crushed moderate nationalism, installed authoritarianism, and radicalized the forces that took over. That responsibility lies squarely with the US and UK. Trump's January 2026 Venezuela intervention—capturing Maduro and prioritizing strategic gains like oil control over clean democracy—shows the same pattern that bred instability in 1953. Time will tell. No one excuses Iran's current abuses or terrorism. But minimizing 1953 as unchangeable history while vilifying only post-1979 ignores root causes and is intellectually dishonest. Now we see the cycle repeating under the Trump regime. Breaking this pattern requires reckoning with history, not selective framing.
Are you American, even nominally? You just insulted yourself as gullible and stupid. And it shows, even without your own self-condemnation, lol.
I’m betting he’s a Brit or Canadian. But this just means that people are in denial about the links between al-Qaeda and Iran. It took decades to realize the links between the Pan Am flight bombing and Iran.
Troll from the troll farm. Throws out bait and attempts to keep replies coming. Amount earned per comment probably climbs. ‘I voted for Trump …’ is one clue.
Found another Islamist extremist.
How many Americans did the SOB kill? Were they in America or in the Middle East?
Leon Klinghoffer?
Beiruit Marines?
603 Americans in Iraq?
43 French paratroopers in Beirut?
Embassy hostages?
Should I go on?
I think you are attributing a lot of things to Gail's SOB that he probably had nothing to do with. Klinghoffer was a PLO victim. You see, Israel organized Hamas to conflict with the PLO; the PLO is history and Hamas is the new threat. Gee, it's almost as if it was intentional.
You blame who you want, I'm sure deep down you think it's Putin's fault, and that's fine, you are free to believe whatever you choose. I'm free to believe what I choose and I blame the US Presidents who keep US troops 6,000 miles from the US, just to help strengthen the deep state. The deep state depends on people such as you, you and your ilk are their enablers; have been for decades.
@John- he's FORCING peace. We've been at war for 47 years.
All we had to do for those 47 years was quit threatening their region of the world. It isn't as if the US was in tip top shape.
@Contrarian- I was a young adult in 1979. I remember what happened. Iran was the neighborhood bully who liked to send acolytes into other neighborhoods at times. No one dared stand up to the bully which emboldened him. Until now.
I have to say you make it difficult, I try to be respectful when commenting and I will be now, but it's a challenge. Apparently you and I are in the same age bracket. I grew up believing what I guess you believe. However, after 9/11, when GW said we had to attack Afghanistan I assumed he knew something. But not long after he said WMD's in Iraq, that's when I started realizing they were lying.
Since then I started paying closer attention. I, and I think a lot of other people realize our government is corrupt & evil, and it has been for decades.
We are told Russia & Putin are evil. I believe the USSR was an evil governmental system and since Russia ended it I conclude they think it was evil too. At first I believed all the things they claimed Putin did but now I don't know. All I know for certain is our government is controlled by literal, evil people; has been for decades.
As for Iran, at the urging of the US Iraq invaded Iran in 1980. During that war the US gave Sadam, a secularist, chemical weapons and he used them against Iran; Iran did not retaliate with chemical weapons of their own.
Also at the urging of the US, via the UN, Iran has had severe sanctions imposed on them, and for 47 years the US, and now Israel have been trying to overthrow their government by killing leaders and civilians; they have not retaliated in kind. And finally, after this recent US/Israel invasion everything Iran has done has been as a response to things done to them. Consider this, a week or so ago the US bombed an Iranian water treatment plant. Iran responded by bombing one in Bahrain; they haven't attacked any more because everyone knows water treatment plants are vital in that region. So since the US hasn't done it again, they haven't done it again. I call that a measured response.
I am no fan of Iran but I suspect that's at least partially because I have been exposed to decades of western propaganda; which means now I don't know what to think about Iran. But I do know what to think about the US government.
I love my country very much but I do not love my country's government as it is currently controlled. The saddest part is we should be that beacon on the hill, but in reality we are that overlord on the hill, trying to rule the world. That's Lindsey Graham's fantasy, not mine. 🤠
Thank you.
Yes, we have.
Another ignoramus. Bullshit.
@John- tell that to the dead marines and their families
can you comment without profanity or is that your badge?
WAR IS PEACE
There’s that pattern again, folks! See it? “I voted for Trump twice….BUT” Gain our trust with “I’m in your court” but then plant propaganda and doubt/hate about Trump. Hmmmm Why? What’s the purpose of doing that? 🤔🤔
I know, lol...anytime someone prefaces or justifies a comment with that caveat of *but I voted for him 3x*, it evokes the strong fragrance of BS.
Others are “I’ve been here since the beginning, but” and “I love reading Jeff every day, he saved me during Covid, but”
I have never had to preface my comments with that. And people who DID vote for Trump three times don’t talk the way these clowns do. They want it to be possible so badly that they have to make it up.
And there are a scant few out there, but very scant, who have stopped trusting Trump, but they were never really in Trump’s camp to begin with and joined MAGA for other reasons. They are easily brainwashed by propaganda in the same way the left is. Some hear CNN type headlines and come here with absolute assuredness that Jeff is compromised, touting the narrative. 😆 But most are here on false pretenses and their arguments reflect it.
They did not preemptively bomb. Iran jerked us around during negotiations and time was up. They FAFOed. Don't care where Bibi is.
Agree. We voted to stop being the 'Policemen of the World' and for good reason. 1) We're bad at it. 2) It's extremely expensive with little obvious benefit (to us). 3) When a GOP president starts a war, we lose badly in elections.
