A world of Donald Trumps

 

Happy birthday, George!

A nice remembrance from Scott Johnson at Power Line: "Remembering the indispensable man".


"Very glad to have been of service. Now, how about you people stop screwing things up!"

Another Trump antagonist assumes room temperature

"Armed Man Shot and Killed After Entering Mar-a-Lago’s Secure Perimeter".

Thanks to the woke left, suicidal violence has practically become a fashion statement.

Update  "21-Year-Old Mar-a-Lago Intruder Killed at Mar-a-Lago IDENTIFIED — Photo Released".

Sounds like he might have been a head case.

What a total waste of genetic material

Tucker Carlson had a chance to become an important figure in the conservative movement, and he threw it all away with both hands. I don't know whom he fancies his audience to be these days - the government of Qatar, billionaire eccentrics, secret (and perhaps not so secret) Nazis, who knows? - but once he started down the rabbit hole of anti-Semitism, he pretty much made it impossible to turn back. 

"The Liar's Pulpit".

What's driving this? Stupidity or cupidity?

Update  Stupid, greedy and sloppy: "Is Tucker Carlson’s Career Toast Now?"

The detention story was bad. What came on Friday was worse.
Carlson released the Huckabee interview and used it to launch a series of outlandish claims and accusations. He called Israel "probably the most violent country on earth," questioned its right to exist, accused it of controlling American foreign policy, and declared it a police state. He claimed Netanyahu believes in "blood guilt" — that he punishes not just wrongdoers but their entire bloodlines — even though Netanyahu has never said anything of the sort. His claim that "Prime Minister Netanyahu has way more influence over American foreign policy than Americans do" echoed antisemitic tropes that have circulated for decades.
Then came the Epstein bomb. Carlson repeatedly pressed Huckabee about Israeli President Isaac Herzog's supposed connection to Jeffrey Epstein's island. "The current president of Israel, whom I know you know, apparently was at 'pedo island,'" Carlson said on air. Huckabee said he was unaware of any such connection. And for good reason — there isn't one. Herzog appears in the Epstein files only through news articles that ended up in Epstein's emails. Carlson was basing his allegation on a fake, AI-generated image that circulated online after the Epstein files were released.

Mad. Stark, raving mad.

I don't know if the country will wind up having another civil war...

...but there definitely needs to be one within the GOP.

Bear in mind, I'm not at all attempting to discount the possibility of a national civil war. 

Feel free to discount Rod Dreher's apparent insinuation that there is actual equivalence between the hatred on the right and the hatred on the left. The right mostly wants to be let alone to enjoy the culture and heritage we inherited. We hate what the left is doing, and we will fight them in the normal course of self-preservation, if necessary, but, in general, we do not hate individuals on the left with the apoplectic, mouth-frothing rage that they show toward us - although, under certain circumstances, I suppose that could happen eventually.
