Well, I may not agree with his politics, but Stewart is definitely ON POINT!! PERIOD!! in my opinion, we've got way too many old fogies still trying to hang on to power , position, and the purse -- the Mitch McConnells, the Chuck Schumers, etc; It's past time for them to retire and get the hell on!! Now we have two Octegenarians running for the White House... dammit, man!! #OldFogiesVsYoungGuns

Mike Turner---the same guy who cannot stand DT and is an activist for Ukraine who also can't send them our money fast enough? I wonder if this so-called National Security threat has anything to do with trying to strong arm a positive vote on the foreign aid bill. Hmm....

When politicians and pundits insist that "voters are smart" and won't fall for what the democrats are selling, you only have to point out elections like the one in New York where the illegal crisis and criminal activity are incentivized by democrats, yet the citizens vote for more democrats ,all the while complaining about crime and illegals. Establishment republicans are hopeless, democrats are ruthless, and we are losing.

Ejecting Santos was a mistake. Senator Menendez is still supported by the Democrats.

“While Trump tends to bring out some lower-propensity voters to the polls, he has driven away some "old-style" Republicans, he added.”

Constituents of Republicans are few “old-style”, but they cause most of the political failures of the GOP in a divided electorate. This coming election is establishment vs anti-establishment. Republicans are blowing it while attempting to be both things. The only political future is an anti-establishment agenda. Democrats have a firm grip on control of all the establishment relationships. That is why they can spend 2x on these local races. The old style Republicans need to either exit the political stage (like Trump has helped get done for traitorous establishment pimps like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger… and Mitt Romney too.

The correct and compelling message of the Republicans would be the Trump America First platform. But with 20% of Republicans stuck in the cult of Anti-Trump, they keep on giving gifts to the dirty Dems.

We need more people telling us and the media that the Emperor has no clothes.

The Putin interview was informative in that it showed him in firm control of his thoughts and speech. A true politician, good or evil, your choice . Can you see Carlson moderating a debate between Biden and Trump?

The US is investigating Israel! What a complete outrage and insult.

They are looking at the right side of where that is happening. And no mention of any investigations of hamas.

Israel has so far fought with two hands tied behind their backs and an annoying mother in law behind them screaming at every thing they do.

This will result in Israel being force to a cease fire agreement that will do nothing but guarantee it will happen again.

Why is it we meddle in Israel's war against Hanas but just blindly hand over equipment and cash to Ukraine. Is the money to Ukraine hush money? Just asking.

There are no nice ways to kill people in war.

True, but some ways are more ethical than others.

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In this conflict, I believe that Israel is mostly good and Hamas is mostly evil, but if it were 100% good vs. 0% good, this conflict would have been decided decades ago. After listening to 30 hours of "Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem" (Martyrmade on Spotify), which I highly recommend as an unbiased deep-dive into the conflict from the late 1800s until 1948, I had a new understanding of just how complicated the history was. Regardless of history, though, the question is what to do now. I'm just praying for wisdom for those making what seem like impossible decisions.

Respect your view and humanity is not perfect. but i respectfully disagree. An organization that would cook babies in an oven is instantly 100% evil and should be eradicated immediately. Civilian casualties is a reality in any conflict but in this one its especially prevalent not because of accidental but because of intentional actions by Hamas to place civilians in harms way and make sure to have cameras around to record it. They can then be shown as the oppressed.

There should be no compromise or cease fire and Israel should be left to deal with the problem as they see fit.

But that is not how this is going is it? While hamas is held to no standard. Israel goes out of its way to strategically target military targets and often has to let known bastions of Hamas terrorists go to save civilians who are intentionally placed in harms way. While Hamas is held to no standard and can willfully target civilian targets and cause mass casualties with no remorse or repercussions.

Had Trump been in office, ignoring the fact that this would not have happened on his watch, he would have fully backed the jewish nation and held back any investigations. That is how it should be. But that is not how it is.

I've had a hard time confirming the story about the baby cooked in the oven. It was widely reported through word of mouth at first but not further substantiated. That's besides the point, though. What Hamas did on October 7 was absolutely evil. An IDF soldier shooting an unarmed civilian holding a white flag is also not good, and I've seen that video with my own eyes. I would encourage you to listen to the podcast series I recommended. It was recorded a few years ago. The first-hand accounts of what the Jews did to the Palestinians in 1948 sounded exactly like October 7, down to the rape, torture, and burning. Generations of Palestinians have been raised and radicalized on these stories, so it's no wonder that Hamas came to power, with the support of Netanyahu, of course. Hamas is guilty. I support Israel. I also recognize that Israel is not innocent.

OK. #ignore. I don't have time for people like you. Sorry not sorry for the direct salvo's that im about to launch in your direction which will highly likely get me censored or banned. But this one sentence "I've had a hard time confirming the story about the baby cooked in the oven." Lends evidence to your direct support of Palestine and quite frankly complete ignorance. There has been multiple videos posted by Hamas and direct evidence to that fact.

You are probably the same person who believes that the holocaust was a hoax.

And no your failed/veiled attempt to appear in support of Israel is an insult to my intelligence. I don't care what Israel did 60 70 80 or 100 years ago. The US massacred native Americans at wounded knee. That doesn't mean right now I fall on the side of its enemies.

I don't have to and wont listen to talk or articles who wish to "make me understand" Hamas's side of things. There is NO understanding or discussion that doesn't begin with the complete eradication of Hamas. If we had taken your view of things in WW2 the Nazi regime would still be around.

You end evil. you don't negotiate with it. That's the end.

What happened in 1948, 1918, or before that is past history. The American revolution didn’t end hostilities with England. The Jay treaty in 1803 didn’t either. Neither did the war of 1812. Times change and England is an ally. The Jews and Muslims have to realize that they have to live together in peace and freedom.

That's an unfair characterization of the hundreds of posts I've made on this site. I support Israel in this current conflict. Period.

If we keep voting Republican, the establishment will never learn.

And that doesn't count the issues with the dems. And there are many. My thing is why is america choosing these two.

How can it be that 75% of people want someone else running for the nomination yet these two past their primes are winning the nomination.
