In the latest episode of his podcast, Tucker Carlson and his guest go all in on a rambling, incoherent conspiracy theory alleging that Israel, Palantir, and Erika Kirk—not Tyler Robinson—were involved in Charlie Kirk's murder. He also suggests that the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, PA was staged.

It is very strange to see some on the Left get so upset over this administration’s efforts to beautify the nation’s capital and improve quality of life for the people who live and visit here. As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we should all be able to agree that the nation’s capital ought to be clean, safe, and beautiful.

Let this be a wake-up call for self-respecting Jewish Democrats, especially those from my home state of Michigan, and any other Democrats who would prefer their party not descend into the depths of full-blown Islamoleftism: you are losing your fight. Tonight at the Michigan Democratic Party convention, Jordan Acker—the incumbent Jewish University of Michigan Democratic Regent whose house and car were repeatedly vandalized with antisemitic graffiti by fanatical-left Palestine obsessives—was denied the party's re-endorsement and lost his seat. Instead, they chose Dearborn attorney Amir Makled, who recently praised Hezbollah and the Iranian terror regime. The Corbynization of America's Democratic Party is near complete.

Thomas Massie is going to lose tomorrow. And it’s not going to be because he’s anti-Israel. He’s always been anti-Israel. He’s going to lose because Kentucky has closed primaries—and MAGA Republicans do not like libertarian conspiracy mongers who vote to defund ICE, dox random Americans to insinuate they’re guilty of child rape, and whose super PACs pump out grotesque, low-IQ antisemitic garbage. His brand of slopulist politics may have some appeal among leftists, right-coded pundits who share policy goals with the far-left, and America-haters across the Third World, but not within MAGA.

Normal people think AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 fumbled by not intervening in NJ-12 and instead spending heavily on NJ-11 earlier this year in a bet that ultimately backfired for them. If Drop Site's Ryan Grim is out there defending a strategic choice AIPAC made, you can rest assured knowing that the group definitely fucked up. But here's the bottom line: Like all other issue groups, when AIPAC spends money on elections—or when it chooses not to spend in races where it could or should intervene—it sometimes makes mistakes. It is not some omniscient, invincible juggernaut controlling every lever of political power in America. And it is not a foreign lobby. It is just a collection of Americans from different backgrounds willing to cough up a few bucks because they believe it's in our country's interest to maintain a strong relationship with the Jewish Wakanda building wild technologies and superweapons in the psychotic but strategically important Middle East. Spoke about this with Tim Pool on Tim PoolNews the other night.

Quite the flip. But, I mean, yeah. If you devote your program to alienating conservatives, Trump supporters, and Evangelical Protestants throughout the West, you’re likely to attract the opposite audience: progressives, Trump haters, and Islamists from the Third World.

As an ultra-MAGA, far-right, pro-Trump fanatic, I do hold some controversial views. For example: • I think an outdoor UFC fight at the White House to celebrate America 250 sounds cool. • I like fixing fountains. • I do not believe patio construction is a moral atrocity.

Here’s the thing about “ugly fuck”-gate. James Talarico actually seems to understand something that the median Democratic comms staffer in Washington clearly does not. If Democrats want to seriously compete in places like Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, etc. this cycle, then there is simply no such thing as too much moderation—especially if you’re the kind of Democrat who was recently saying there are six biological sexes, God is nonbinary, being white requires apology, the southern border should be a welcome mat, or campaigns ought to go vegan. Cursing out Stephen Miller doesn’t help them get where they’re ostensibly looking to go.

Sounds similar to Hasan Piker taking a victory lap after Kamala lost. You’re seeing this new phenomenon on both the dissident Right and Left where winning and governing no longer really seem to be the goal. The goal is to stoke outrage, crash the system, let things burn, and monetize the chaos. That mindset makes sense for podcasters. Less so for politicians.

In part, this is happening because of detached-from-reality, entitled behavior like this from leftists:

I’ve been critical of Josh Shapiro in the past, but his condemnation of Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner’s comments comparing law enforcement to Nazis is strong. "That kind of rhetoric is unacceptable. It is abhorrent. And it is wrong. Period. Hard stop. End of sentence.“

Hasan Piker, the most avid Manhattan Institute reader in America, has suggested that I am “the most Islamophobic person on the fucking planet.” I am not. I’m proud to work with very sharp colleagues from a wide array of different ethnic and religious backgrounds—including my Muslim boss! In any event, I appreciate you closely following our work, hasanabi. Please DM me. Would be happy to set you up with a complimentary City Journal subscription.

There is plenty of room for ideological diversity within the GOP—even more so than within today’s Democratic Party—but you do have to be willing to engage in a productive working relationship with President Trump. There is room for hawks and restrainers, populists and technocrats. What there isn’t room for are conspiratorial slop mongers and obsessively anti-Trump cranks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. I made this point to POLITICO's Daniel Lippman on NEWSMAX the other day.

Ted Cruz is one of the most consistent and loudest voices in government condemning anti-white racism.
