Excuse us while we adjust the fourth ... no wait ... fifth tinfoil hat we've had in just this year alone. We've learned to appreciate the tinfoil because it seems more often than not there is enough truth in what we're hearing (seeing, reading, etc) that we need to pay attention. We need to write about it, share it, get that info out there because we know the mainstream media will not. In fact, they'll work very hard to make those of us talking about it out to be CRAY-CRAY. It's what they do. And this from Tucker Carlson about...

When Fox News abruptly fired Tucker Carlson in April 2023, the timing wasn’t just suspicious; it was glaring. Red flags were waving everywhere. It all started around the time he was airing never-before-seen footage from January 6th, exposing cracks in the official narrative. At the time, many suspected Tucker’s termination wasn’t just about ratings or contracts; it was about control. Now, thanks to Tucker himself, we know those suspicions were dead on. Maybe more so than you ever realized. ... According to Tucker, right after he was fired, Rupert Murdoch approached him and asked him to run against President Trump....

Tucker Carlson’s podcast surged up the YouTube and Spotify charts last week, buoyed by his confrontational interview with Senator Ted Cruz and his feud with fellow MAGA media stars over the Israel-Iran conflict. According to the latest available data, “The Tucker Carlson Show” jumped to No. 5 on YouTube’s weekly podcast rankings — a significant leap from his No. 18 ranking upon YouTube’s chart launch last month, and No. 14 just a few weeks ago. Carlson’s program also landed at No. 2 on Spotify’s podcast chart and No. 14 on Apple’s Top Shows for last week.

We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. 9:40 AM · Jun 25, 2025 · 277.4K Views

When President Donald Trump ordered precision strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a familiar chorus of so-called “conservative” and “populist” influencers rushed to declare doom. The strikes, they insisted, would shatter Trump’s coalition.Tucker Carlson raged about “forever wars.” Steve Bannon warned of national unraveling. Candace Owens fretted about betrayal. They weren’t the only ones; not by a long shot. The message was clear: Trump had gone too far, and his base would revolt.They couldn’t have been more wrong.Despite the media theatrics and influencer outrage, actual Republican voters—especially those in Trump’s core MAGA camp—stood firmly behind him. According to a CBS News...

..... Members of Kentucky’s congressional delegation say Massie’s sprawling district, which runs along the northern border along Ohio and Indiana and stretches from the southern Cincinnati suburbs to the outer bands of the Louisville metro area, is a unique cross-section of the state that appears to relish Massie’s independent streak. It’s home to some of the most prominent members of the “liberty faction” of the Kentucky Republican Party, a group that embraces Trump while also gravitating toward libertarian-leaning Republicans like Massie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. The senator has weathered his own barrage of attacks from Trump for voicing opposition...

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro ruthlessly mocked Tucker Carlson on Tuesday over his professed concern that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities could lead to World War III. “President [Donald] Trump was never, ever going to get us into a nation-building project in Iran. That was never-, have you met President Trump? Have you watched him for the last 10 years?” asked Shapiro rhetorically to kick off his rant. “What unbelievable lack of faith it shows in President Trump for people to suggest that Trump, of all people, was going to get us in to World War III on a...

Steve Bannon, a disgusting fraud. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you, Bannon, a confessed and convicted fraudster has to say. You’re a liar. You cheated how many people? At bottom, you’re a certified disgusting fraud. And it shows every time you open your big mouth. You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran’s nukes. 80% of Americans backed the operation. You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy. Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous...

Everyone talks about Massie but MTG is also a massive rebel and true America First patriot. She has been nothing but fantastic the last week or so and it can't have been easy speaking out especially as a member of Congress in the president's party. I appreciate Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene 👏👏👏 Here's her latest Twitter post: - -- @RepMTG This is the side of Trump that got him elected in 2016 and earned him the support of Americans who had never voted and those who switched parties to vote for him in 2024. This is one of the reasons...

Tucker Carlson has once again taken the internet by storm, this time for a fiery exchange with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas over Iran, Israel, and isolationism writ large. -snip- Tucker has been criticizing the Trump administration on these subjects, piquing the president enough that he fired back. “I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying,” Trump, who knows Tucker personally, told reporters. “Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.” The president followed that up with a post on Truth Social: “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE...

Republicans who moved away from Donald Trump, including his vice president during his first term, Mike Pence, endorsed his attack on Iran, which was codenamed 'Operation Midnight Hammer'. Even Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the UN, and the Republican leader who did not endorse Trump ahead of the 2024 election, praised Trump's action against Iran -- while the Make America Great Again group remained split over Trump's decision to attack Iran. "Well done," Nikki Haley wrote to the president's announcement of completing a successful attack in Fordown, Nantanz and Esfahan in Iran. Mike Pence said Trump made the...

@DrLoupis__ THOMAS MASSIE EXPOSES AIPAC: “AIPAC is very persuasive. If you look at my colleagues' feeds now, they all look the same, they're all tweeting the same message.”

"I think President Trump was wrong. He went against the Constitution." Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, joined Chris Jansing on MSNBC Reports to discuss the legality of President Trump’s move to launch military strikes on Iran.

Speaking with Rachel Maddow on Saturday night, MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin repeatedly suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu "dog-walked" President Trump into attacking Iran.Mohyeldin's dehumanizing claim was that Trump might have been unaware of Israel's intent to attack Iran, and that Netanyahu knew: "That at some point the political pressure domestically among Republicans, supporters of Israel and their base [the Joos!], are going to put this pressure on the president to get involved on behalf of Israel. Mohyeldin also suggested that Netanyahu was "running circles" around Trump. Shades of Ilhan Omar accusing Israel of "hypnotizing" the world. Those sly Jews, with their infernal...

In the images, which were captured on Sunday by the US commercial satellite imaging company Maxar Technologies and obtained by Business Insider, several large holes or craters can be seen on a ridge over the underground complex at Fordow, south of Tehran. The images show what looks like a layer of dust or debris caused by the US airstrikes over the area, and several tunnel entrances that lead to the underground facility appear to be blocked with dirt.

Rep. Sean Casten (D-Il.) said late Saturday that President Trump’s move to bomb Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval amounts to an “unambiguous impeachable offense.” “This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program,” Casten said in a post on the social platform X. “No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he kept his promise from the beginning of Israel’s conflict against Iran that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed. In a Hebrew video statement to the Israeli public following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Netanyahu says the American operation was conducted in “full coordination” with the IDF. Netanyahu says the US finished the job against Iran’s nuclear sites that was started by the IDF on June 13. “At the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was kept,” Netanyahu says....

@RealCandaceO “A full payload of bombs was dropped” followed by “now is the time for peace”. Utterly deranged. If we had raised the 100 million Adelson gave him on Go Fund Me, maybe he would have kept his promises. Guess we’ll never know.

House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Saturday night said that President Donald Trump has “failed” to bring peace to the Middle East after Trump ordered the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Jeffries, the leader of House Democrats, said in a written statement: Donald Trump promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He has failed to deliver on that promise. The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harm’s way. President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional...
