In the northeast corner of London’s Hyde Park, near the Marble Arch, is an area long known as Speaker’s Corner. Tradition holds that anyone is free to speak there on any subject for as much time as he pleases, “as long as the police consider their speeches lawful.” Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin would sometimes peddle their poisonous rhetoric there and yet go unmolested by the authorities, though in recent times the police seem to have drawn the “unlawful” line at anything uttered by a native Briton that offends the delicate sensibilities of Muhammadan immigrants.
Before this turn to sectarian division, passersby in Speaker’s Corner might have been drawn to any number of orators holding forth on any number of subjects. In his 1922 short story “Comrade Bingo,” P.G. Wodehouse described Speaker’s Corner as a place “where weird birds of every description collect on Sunday afternoons and stand on soap-boxes and make speeches.” Sometimes one of those birds may have spoken so compellingly as to draw a crowd, at least for a time, with the truly mesmerized drawing ever closer while others, less captivated by the delivery, remained on the fringes.
Encouraged by his enveloping circle of admirers, a speaker might begin to test the limits of credibility, making claims that, to those most devoted to him sound plausible, but to others ring as lunacy. To the speaker’s eye, surrounded as he is by ardent followers clapping and nodding and amen-ing along, the crowd remains as large and committed as ever, as the cheers and applause generated by the inner circle conceals the fact that people beyond are drifting away while commenting that the speaker is a very weird bird indeed.
And so it is in the world of “conservative” commentary today ... Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens...

I gave up on Owens years ago. Tucker has totally wigged out. I can only conclude there is big money in it for them to take their respective positions.
I go by the Abrahamic covenant. God will bless those who bless and curse those who curse.
Deuteronomy 14:2
For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
I stand with the USA!
Israel can stand with Israel.

The two can overlap....
I stand with the United States
It's lunacy to claim that letting millions of anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-Sharia law Muslims into the country isn't a problem.
But, it's also lunacy to suggest we fight a war in Iran on behalf of Israel. There is no good reason for Trump to spend political capital on a war in Iran or Venezuela.
We give foreign aid to Israel and sell it weapons so it can fight its own battles.
I stand with the United States of America.
They are now talking about wheening themselves off of our aid, which would be great.
Hello, my name is Nick Fuentes. I’m a white supremacist even though I’m not white.
A few context points on this:
#1) Mark Levin has a direct and personal line to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Levin can and does talk to ‘Bibi’ all the time.
#2) If Levin was confident in the position of President Trump toward Israel, this would not be needed.
#3) This same level of toxicity is also being directed toward Trump’s vice-president, JD Vance.
This is the current state of mind of Mark Levin:

What’s going on?
It is exactly what I said was happening – SEE HERE.
The use of Alinsky tactics is a left-wing approach.
This sudden debate over supporting the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not surface organically in early 2025.
It was planned and then stimulated as a wedge issue to divide the MAGA movement and begin a larger process to restore the Big Club control of Republican politics.
♦ You Can’t be ‘MAGA’ If You’re Anti-Israel ~ Benjamin Netanyahu
According to those inside America who are pushing the division: if you do not support the policies of Netanyahu, you are an antisemite, a hater of Israel. This wedge issue, when coupled with the three-stage Alinsky tactic to isolate, ridicule and marginalize, can be used effectively to shrink the ‘Big Tent’ and restore the Big Club.

The important element is how the toxic outcome -the division- benefits the traditional Republicans, the traditional Republican Party control officers, the traditional party “conservatives”. Put another way, division – regardless of how it is achieved, returns the party to the people who controlled the illusion of choice.
Instead of the Bush machine, Sea Island group or the Traditional GOP confronting MAGA directly, those same operatives simply use the wedge issue of Israel to say,
‘you’re either with us or against us‘.
We have been watching this unfold all year.
Who benefits? The Big REPUBLICAN Club.

♦ Turning Point USA: This narrative is a little more direct and easier to understand.
A big part of the MAGA win in 2024 was due to the youth movement. The Big Club needs to manage that crowd if they are going to return to control. TPUSA represents a significant political ground game for any candidate. With thousands of chapters, Christian values and high energy, Turning Point can be a formidable Get Out the Vote (GOTV) operation.
Injecting the Israel support -vs- antisemite wedge into TPUSA is intended to diminish their influence, internally divide their membership and weaken the capability of the organization to deliver influence in the 2028 election. Ben Shapiro et al versus Tucker Carlson et al. Again, we see Alinsky methods deployed by the Big Club.
TPUSA is now the proxy representing JD Vance.
Labeling TPUSA as an antisemitic group supports the objectives of the Big Club and eventually, Ron DeSantis.
