Yep. You're probably right.
Some people experience meaningful and profound life changes, whether they are religious or not (near-death experiences, for example). It ain't unusual.
If true for Tucker, he is stricken with the reality of "Truth."
Facts is facts. Genocide is real, and it ain't the victims self-destructing themselves. An over-the-top aggressor with our close help (yet, another proxy war), is wiping them out.
As for Russia, they have undergone a transition and bounced back from a century of communism and Godlessness. They don't condone the rot we accept in this country and have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps over the last 40 or so years to become a major world power.
Both of the Tucker targets may deserve a break from the lies that are promoted about them. Lies that, among other things, are leading us to self-destruction!
Go Tucker.
No foreign nation is giving welfare to the U.S. Certainly not Israel.
By contrast, Israel is taking welfare from the U.S.
For you to try and equate the U.S. and Israel as "welfare states" is both dishonest and pathetic.
Big mistake on Conservative Inc.'s part.
While Conservative Inc. was paying Tucker's bills, they had some control over him. When they fired him, Tucker became a free man, beholden only to his conscience.
National Review changed and went to the dogs after WFB died.
Russia is still godless, that KGB/Government church is a empty facade that no one attends while active Christianity in the form of Protestants and Catholics is still opposed and persecuted in Russia as the government and the one approved and partnered church work hand in hand, not to mention that the country is already about 16% Islamic.
Tucker’s epiphany was motivated by Qatar blood money.
quotes:
Carlson’s slurs against Zelensky constitute his crudest public remarks about Jews.
other conservative commentators have a “literal allegiance” to Ukraine and Israel, and why “so many of these people don’t seem to have the same level of actual care for American citizens.”
he[Carlson] defended the honor of former Democratic Congressman Jim Moran regarding his 2003 assertion that “if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this.” (Moran, who has represented Qatar since 2017, is an actual “tool” “of a foreign government.”)
Carlson accused Israel....of “blowing up churches and killing Christians”
denouncing “the farce of Nuremberg,”

To a lot of people, the main difference between Zelinsky and BiBi is cocaine. There’s also that homo act video but that was before sniffy became president.
Britain has “pro-Gaza independents”.
Au contraire. US military action/involvement in Syria. US military action/involvement in Libya. US military action/involvement in Iraq. US military action/involvement in Iran. Israel was a HUGE cheerleader for all of them and Netanyahu pushed us to do all of them.
Often or usually, animus against Israel is an aspect of a basic animus against valid authority, that of God, as the existence of Jews and establishment of Israel represents that Authority, which the Serpent thus seeks to destroy.
I agree with both of you...(this ended up a bit long, sorry)
At 16 I moved from the UK to the USA. Even though both are ‘English’ speaking the cultural differences made my head spin. England was already very liberal, had largely walked away from Christ, Church attendance dropping like a stone. I was one of a few kids who had parents that took us to Church weekly. Most kids would mock anything to do with the Church. I also heard (UK) “it’s a free country” a million times. I believed it too, Magna Carta and all often mentioned as one of the historical great things of Britain (although we were not taught much British history through the public system). Although, of course, ‘guns bad’ with USA movies portraying endless gun violence (I was terrified!! lol).
When I arrived here, kids in High School were very open about the Church they attended, and there were lots of them. Seeing gun racks in the homes of friends made me very uncomfortable. I had to take a “U.S. Government” class in High School. I was astonished how much some kids seem to know. Plus, there was a focus on “Bill of Rights”. At the time, I just thought “these people are obsessed with ‘rights’” - although I assumed the same (laws) were true in the UK, I’d just not been taught about them. Of course, when it came to 2A, I had the “guns are bad, this is stupid” mentality. Given all the adjustments I was making personally, I didn’t dwell on it. It took years for me to understand.
Looking back, what I learned through some hard lessons, we’re all hard-programmed by culture. It is all we know. It is “what’s right” because we all want to have some level of pride in who we are (national pride). It’s VERY hard to see through it, it’s like low-level programming, hard to undo or see everything through another lens. Same for atheists in western cultures that claim they can “be a good person without God”. The very idea of a “good person” comes from your surrounding culture, that which is saturated from hundreds of years being based in Christianity. When the left says, “get the 10 Commandments out of schools”, my question is, “which one do you disagree with?”. Crickets - because they’re the basis for a civilized society, so why not display them proudly, even as a historical item that influenced the world for the better? ...we know why.
Explaining “cultural differences” is very hard because few people understand their own well, let alone more than one and able to do a ‘compare and contrast’ between them. Truly stepping outside your culture, and understanding it, takes a long time. Most don’t even understand the concept. Now, looking back at the UK, I’m horrified. The same fundamental reasons the USA was born, and emerged out of the UK, still exist. Free speech is gone, with the ‘speech policing’ entering ‘pub talk’ if somebody is offended - and, while many realize what is happening, they’re unarmed. They don’t know what to do. When I listen to them, I can still switch to their ‘lens of the world’, I just do not share that lens anymore...the State is showing its true colors. The ‘democracy’ is a ruse. You get to vote for the ‘chosen’ few, so it really doesn’t matter. They did not vote for mass migration. Nobody asked them. Now the revolt is being met with force, free speech be damned.
Sorry for the essay :) I’m just passionate about culture, how it makes you think, how people do not think the same. The reasons are foundational and religious doctrine shapes things first. It provides the bedrock of what is considered ‘good’. Everything else, e.g. law, government structure, freedoms (or not), follow (compatibility). Then comes ‘sub-culture’. We all have them. Even ‘sub-cultures of sub-cultures’. E.g. ‘the black community’, with many within it distancing themselves from ‘ghetto culture’....same everywhere (Scottish vs. British). It’s complex, human nature is consistent though, we rarely see beyond the culture to which we’re born and are slow to understand others. IMHO...this is what makes Islam today so dangerous. Naive fools think it’s ‘just another’ religion, when it’s worse than the Nazi’s could have ever imagined....but can’t say that, it’s ‘racist’ (in the UK).
I’ll stop before I think about India ;p

“There is such a thing as ‘spiritual Israel.’ Spiritual Israel would refer to Jewish people who have trusted Jesus as their Messiah; but the Church is never called ‘spiritual Israel’... there is no textual or exegetical basis for... [the] belief that Galatians 6:16 teaches that the ‘Israel of God’ includes the church or Gentiles.” - Dr. Thomas Ice
Galatians 3:29 indicates that all believers in Christ, regardless of our ethnicity, are “Abraham’s seed.” But this doesn’t mean that all believers are Israel.
“Galatians 3:7 and 29 do not say Israel has been replaced; they merely teach that people (Jewish or Gentile) who put their faith in Christ become partakers of the spiritual promises God made to Abraham. Paul affirmed this fact in 3:28 when He said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, ... for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Dr. James Showers
William Buckley was for several decades the leading light of American conservatism. While he "excommunicated" people who he saw as antithetical to responsible conservatism, e.g., isolationists, Birchers, Objectivists, he recognized that there were three pillars to conservatism: economic, cultural, and defense. Buckley tried to balance these factions. The liberal converts were anti-Communist but also closer to a Theodore Roosevelt or Richard Nixon model of big government activism than to Buckley style conservatism. Their view became dominant at National Review.
By the time Trump announced his Presidential campaign in 2015, the National Review writers thought the old methods would shut down the former liberal from New York. They failed and the more alert never Trumpers like Glenn Beck defected to MAGA.
Qatar rules the world!
Lol.
Oh, so now you're trying to dishonestly twist my words. Those military actions were fought for other countries...Israel being a big one. Nobody is avoiding US history, I'm citing US history. Your comments read like the typical lying Neocon crap we've all seen for years.
Practicing Christians have the same effect on the world as Israel for the same reasons- both by definition cannot worship their government or any lesser power or ever be trusted by anyone who does worship power.
So the powers and principalities of this world hate and refuse to leave anyone who doesn’t worship them alone. It isn’t just Christians and Jews, but these are easiest targets because of their built-in pacifism, and because they are always targeted, it is to be expected that they frequently end up in the news.
If the world ignored them and left them alone, the world would be a much quieter place.
Tucker has pretty much gone off the rez. I don’t watch him anymore. I think Candace Owens got to him.
