The NRO blames Trump as it appears the State parties are paying the price for the decades long rank incompetence of the National Republican Party. Trump was a symptom, not the problem.

Did I miss in the notes anything abiut ",the Israel situation?'

The Left is blasting Netanyahu for trying to alter the Israeli Supreme Court, while at the same time our SCOTUS is under attack from court-packing attempts, attempts to smear justices like Thomas & Gorsuch, failute to find the Dobbs leaker, failure to prosecute the protestors outside the Justices' homes and attempts to force SCOTUS to adopt a code of ethics. Yet, the Left remains silent.

To quote Alanis Morissette, "Isn't it ironic?"

My only direction is about the IRS changes. Had one of these happen about march of this year.

I told them to kick rocks.

If I have a debt to pay the IRS I’ll pay it as best I can. They can thank Joe B for the record inflation rates which took away my ability to pay my bills much less the IRS which is LAST on my priorities list.

I have a tax attorney who represents me anyway so they went through them and she essentially told them the same thing.

When you called Arizona’s Kari Lake a “trans winner” I almost spit out my water. Brilliant!

Erick,

I can't help but feel we Republicans, myself included, have almost given up trying anymore. It feels as though the long game played by the American left has finally tipped the scales so far that no matter how crazy the left's ideas are people no longer embrace conservatism. The Democrat party and Administrative State WILLINGLY took advantage of an inexperienced politician in Trump and made Covid-19 the TOOL to get control of the people and get Trump ousted. Too many people have NO IDEA about Hunter's laptop, President Biden's mental state, the nation's financial debt crisis or how much worse it stands to get if the left is reelected and gains a majority in the senate. I don't hear much "hope" in your reporting which is disappointing. I know MY GOD is in control, but I don't want this once great nation destroyed to a point my children and grandchildren suffer extreme hardships. I'd like to challenge you to get your messages for the multiple conservative campaigns TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE. I don't know how you will do that, but it is a worthwhile goal. Thank-you for your show. Keep up the good work. Let's Go Beat Brandon!

Hypocrisy on the Biden's political corruption reinforces the notion among populists that we have a two tiered justice system for Republicans and Democrats. Democrat's attempt at power at all cost may very well again blow up in their face or the populists may self-sabotage and award the Democrats another four years of political power. Overall, I get the feeling from watching politics and culture like watching a large ship careen off a waterfall and that no one is smart enough to correct course.

Any a Republican that voted for more Ukraine funding needs to be primaried. They are complicit in Biden’s corrupt Ukraine dealings.

I didn’t care for Gen Colin Powell’s politics but his military views were correct. Go to war only when you have to and have an end plan. No more generational wars.

Since we are speaking of funding a country trying to protect itself, ask the Democrats why they voted to stop supplying South Vietnam with arms? Today they have no problem with supplying Ukraine .

The Democrats of 2023 have nothing in common with Democrats of the Vietnam era. There is no reason for us to be involved. The “Democracy” argument assumes we’re fools. Really…Zelensky’s democracy? A man that shuts down the press, closes churches and cancels elections. A real paragon of democracy.

Your opinion. God Bless the Ukrainian people.

In my lifetime, my country has abandoned (betrayed) the Vietnamese, the Afghans, and various Central American countries that we had promised to support. Add another to that, and nobody will - or should - trust our word again. The Baltic States are next in Putin’s sights.

Actually, we semi-abandoned Ukraine since we promised to defend them if they gave back their nukes to Russia.

They kept their part of the deal.

While we're not actually defending them, at least we're giving them help in defending themselves.

Hmmm…wrong on Ukraine. It has nothing to do with the Ukrainian people. It has to do with a corrupt Ukraine President and corrupt oligarchs having our “President”, the big guy, by the short ones.

Hmmm….your opinion. You know what they say about opinions. I’ll go with - let’s see - Tom Cotton for example.

Good. Go with him. He’ll have some explaining to do.
