There was a lot to digest online this week. There’s a brutal, merciless slaughter of civilians in Nigeria and Sudan.
The silence is deafening. Civilian men, women, and children are being slaughtered in Sudan. Estimates of over 150,000 killed & 14 million displaced since April 2023. Considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. No mass protests. No daily political statements/demands. No college campus encampments.
More is unraveling about Arctic Frost, in which the fanatical prosecutor Jack Smith, with the aid of a fiercely partisan Judge James Boasberg, surveilled 20% of the Republican senators, their donors, media companies, including Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, OANN, and Sinclair, and conservatives while blocking disclosure to them of the dragnet.
But this week I want to concentrate on the drama at Heritage. I see it as a turning point for American conservatives, illustrating the cowardice of Kevin Roberts, head of one of the most prestigious conservative domestic organizations.
Let me begin with a bit of psychological background. Tucker Carlson has clearly gone off the rails. Curiously, he has said that he dislikes Christian Zionists more than he hates anyone else on the planet. I say "curiously" because he wrote a loving obituary for his father, Ambassador Richard Carlson, who died this March and was a well-known Christian Zionist, a vice chair of the Foundation for Defense of Democracy which supports Israel and the Jewish people. Carlson has specifically targeted “Christian Zionists” Senator Ted Cruz, former president George W. Bush, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. You might think Heritage would want to distance itself from Carlson, but when the issue was met after Carlson’s powderpuff interview and nodding agreement with his guest Nick Fuentes, Heritage dropped the ball, disagreeing with Fuentes but protecting Carlson, even as it stripped Carlson from its list of donor

I don’t know what is going on with Tucker either.
The MAGA coalition is undergoing a long overdue purge. That is held for 10 years shows the political power of DJT. Vance and Tulsi will be on one side with Rubio and the establishment Rs on the other. And if you think this is bad, just wait until you see what is going to happen to the Ds. The political order is breaking down, so buckle up and look out below!!
The my Israel right or wrong crowd are out to Charlie Kirk Tucker.
Here’s a great article with a great Biblical defense of Christian’s’ support for Israel.

Save this this one as I’m sure you’ll need to use it many times in the future.
“...pitting those who stand with God and his reestablishment of the nation of Israel for his soon coming rule and reign...”
“stand with God”???
When did “Merica First” become so repulsive to you?
Tucker does not like Bibi, so that makes him anti-semitic? There are millions of Jews in Israel that don’t like Bibi. Does that make them anti-semitic?
When did it become necessary for God to need the support of humans in carrying out his plans about anything?
There is a prophesy about regathering Israel, it is positioned at the conclusion of history as we know it, it involves Israel and Judah being reuinited (the stick that is joined together and what on earth does that mean, a concept entirely ignored) and, by the way, where is that highway that runs from Egypt to Israel that is mentioned that occurs during this time? Where is the peace that also occurs at this time?
Where is the peace that also occurs at this time?

Well according to preterism
we are IN the metaphorical millennium.
Id think that, and other things like lions laying with sheep and satan bound, would be clues to the preterist that their understanding of prophecies, and their fulfillments, are wrong.
“...”things like lions laying with sheep and satan bound...”
Well, you personally can assign that belief to people you disagree with, but I don’t think that a person that believes that exists on this earth.
The my Israel right or wrong crowd are out to Charlie Kirk Tucker

Oh, so if WE disagree with Tucker..
then we are Israel firsters
( a damaged and deranged libelous label of the climate and election and vax denier and racist variety of libelous labels )
then we are also potential assassins, murders ?
Domestic terrorists ?
As bad as marxists ?
Your level of spin in your innuendo is so great it throws you out of the urinalist impersonation into that of an analist.
I fear you may have the brain virus as explained here.

That’s sad.
I have a dog calendar.
It had this description of a dog that reminded me of the NeoCons among us:
“The sweetest, gentlest and most comical dog. He is always happy, and when he sees his leash he twirls in circles until it is on.”
Would you prefer a fornicating Nick Fuentes?
but I don’t think that a person that believes that exists on this earth.

That’s my point.
If you don’t believe those exist now, or ever will be, you can’t ascribe to replacement theology aka preterism.
Preterists are Amillennialists
Amillennialists are those who believe that the “millennium,” or thousand-year reign of Christ mentioned in the Bible, is not a literal, future period on Earth but is a symbolic representation of the present spiritual reign of Christ from heaven, which began with his resurrection and will continue until his second coming. This view holds that Christ currently reigns through his church, not a physical kingdom on Earth, and that his reign is simultaneous with the present church age.
Key beliefs of amillennialism
A symbolic millennium: The thousand years in Revelation 20 are not a literal time frame but a symbolic representation of the current age, from Christ’s ascension to his second coming.
Present spiritual reign: Christ’s reign is already happening in the spiritual realm, and believers are currently reigning with him in heaven.
Spiritual kingdom: The Kingdom of God is present now through the Church and the spread of the gospel, not a future, physical kingdom on Earth.
“Now” and “not yet”: Amillennialism uses a “two-age” framework, seeing the current age as a mix of the present reality (the “now” of the kingdom) and the future hope (the “not yet”).
Satan’s binding: They believe Satan was “bound” at Christ’s ascension, which shattered his dominion over the nations and allowed the gospel to be preached throughout the world.
The final judgment: Amillennialists believe the millennium will be followed by the final judgment and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth, not another earthly reign of Christ.

And if you think God is done with Israel , as Tucker does, and call yourself a Christian, then you ARE an Amillennialist.
That’s what preterism is based on.
Maybe you are just on of those cherry picker theologians?
You can’t have it both ways, either you believe God is done with Israel and you are a preterist, or you aren’t and must believe God will fulfill His promises to Israel.
“The my Israel right or wrong crowd are out to Charlie Kirk Tucker.”
Those of us who are disgusted by people who deny the Holocaust, who nod agreeingly when someone says we should have helped the Nazis, who claim Stalin was great, and who hold Israel to a standard the US military was NEVER held to (being a combat vet myself with 25 years in the US military), are NOT saying “Israel right or wrong”.
The people who are disgusted by those saying Israel murdered Charlie Kirk - or is Candace Owens blaming Trump now, or someone else - are NOT saying “Israel right or wrong”!
But Tucker now speaks highly of Sharia law and claimed Trump was starting WW3 at Israel’s bidding and control last spring. He excuses everything the Jew-haters do and attacks Israel even when Israel was feeding their enemies!
Tucker has sold his soul. Candace Owens has gone bat-shit crazy. And Nick Fuentes is an evil, twisted pervert who is not, in any way, someone a conservative can make common cause with!
It’s a generational shift - Tucker is expressing the views of those under 40-50 who have no special feelings toward Israel and are sick of our country sending them large sums of money for whatever reason. Neither side is going to change their mind on this so yes this could become problematic for Republicans moving forward. If Republicans try to run a neocon Zionist like Rubio in the future they will lose the election. It will be interesting to see how Vance plays this.
Good post.
We have mostly an older crowd here so many are having trouble seeing what is happening.
Waving their canes and telling Tucker and Fuentes to get off their lawn is not going to work.
Lol.
Bkkk
I will. Thank you.
Yes boomers are the last Zionist friendly generation. People like Netanyahu think they can just ramp up the propaganda and that will fix things but it won’t. And Christian Zionism itself will just die out with the boomers. So I would suggest Israel plan ahead for this eventuality.
Note that propaganda is just one tool in the toolkit.
Active silencing, de-platforming, censorship, de-monetizing, doxxing and many forms of cancellation are other tools.
Younger folks are catching on that bad acts means bad actors.
