On Wednesday, Cockburn stopped by ‘Sovereignty or Submission: Restoring National Identity in the Spirit of Liberty’, hosted by conservative publications American Greatness and The New Criterion at a private club in Washington.
Cockburn heard a wide-ranging discussion about nation states and governance, featuring Spectator columnists Daniel McCarthy and Roger Kimball, as well as the Hoover Institution’s Victor Davis Hanson, the Heritage Foundation’s David Azerrad, American Greatness editor Chris Buskirk, National Review’s John O’Sullivan, and Hillsdale College and Claremont Institute fellow Michael Anton.
Over lunch, Tucker Carlson delivered a keynote speech on what he has learned since Trump’s election. The Fox News host observed that President Trump’s arrival to the White House has worked like a ‘truth elixir’: ‘people are sort of admitting what they really think in a way that they never did, especially here in Washington, which is a very buttoned-down city.’ To elaborate, Carlson said that a ‘lot of people here have drinking problems, but they’re all secret.’
Cockburn nearly choked on his chicken meal, worried Carlson was referring to yours truly. Thankfully, the Fox News host directed his attention to Bill Kristol.
Carlson argued that when Trump criticized the Iraq War on the campaign trail, ‘Bill Kristol and the rest of the left,’ referring to the former Weekly Standard editor as a ‘Trotskyite’, launched a full opposition against then-candidate Trump. ‘Within 20 minutes [Kristol] was trying to get Tom Cotton and finally settled on poor David French’, referencing the writer’s failed primary challenge against the future president.
According to Carlson, Trump’s presidency has affirmed that ‘the left’ is only concerned about political issues like the Iraq war: ‘In a world without God, politics is kind of all there is,’ adding later in his speech that ‘Ted Kennedy killed a girl and they had no problem defending him.’

You have my attention.
“I just don’t understand Republicans that still choose to attack Trump. He’s the Only POTUS that has actually fought the good fight and has fought to keep his campaign promises like he actually meant them.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You’ve given the reason for the attacks in your second sentence.
It appears to me that the #NeverTrumpers are some of the same “conservatives” that ran Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran and Sam Francis out of the Republican party. They have weaved their way in to the body politic and have corrupted it.
Was it the Deep State that got rid of Joe McCarthy? Kind of looks like it, doesn’t it. The vast civilian population was so innocent back then, but FDR’s devious machinations must have taken hold in Washington.
Politicians seek problems, not solutions.
Do not forget about Glen Beck.
He was in the middle using his influence in any way to get PDJT beaten.
What a stooge this guy turned out to be.
He is the perfect example that money and power corrupt
Like a cancer and not just Washington.
The older generation of Democrats still worship him.
I am not sure what this new breed of leftist commies think about him but I would venture to say he is still a saint to them.
“I get no pleasure pointing out the commonality there which is found throughout the book in the willing journalists and never Trumpers
Secular liberal Jews.....trotskyites is appropriate”
Truth is racist and anti-semitic. You’re just barely touching the surface on the truth here.
Someone would be a terrible person if they ever noticed a commonality among 80% of CNN executives, Hollywood directors, and Central Bank executives.
Trump gave Kristol a WEDGIE when they were little.....and he still IS!
Dallas?
Why is this “breaking news?”
Evan Sayet nailed it years ago:

I cannot find the video.
I sincerely believe it is spiritual.
Oh, heck, yes it is! One has merely to witness leftists and antifa losing all sense of reason and self control to see that they are possessed.
America needs an exorcism. It needs a Christian revival. We need to re-consecrate this great nation to God.
Your link is actually routed through google, rather than the primary website, which is spectator.us. When his happens google spies on you much more than they already do.
Before you post a link you need to pay attention TO the link. Your current link is allowing google to spy on everyone who clicks on it.
Many believe that was why he was murdered.
Like Epstein. Another casualty of the Deep State - “never leave any loose ends in prison”...
Indeed, Thomas Sowell has not been an ardent Trump supporter but overall has displayed measured support.
We all need to thank Tucker as he was the reason Shep Smith left Fox News.
Forty years plus ago I read this piece by Sociologist Max Weber. It explains a good deal of what we are facing now...Here is a synopsis. I strongly suggest we all read it again. https://www.toolshero.com/management/bureaucratic-theory-weber/
