Below is my column on Fox.com discussing the most recent call to be “ruthless” and to pack the Supreme Court. It is only the latest call for fundamental changes in our system on the 250th anniversary of our revolution.
Here is the column:
“Let’s get ruthless.”
Those words are, unfortunately, nothing new in this age of rage. In just the last few weeks, various liberal pundits and politicians have been calling for radical and even violent action.
Even comedian Margaret Cho publicly declared this week that “we need a feral, bloodthirsty, violent Democrat.”
However, these words were reposted by Bill Kristol, the founder of the Weekly Standard and the current editor-in-chief of The Bulwark. Kristol was a leading conservative figure in the Republican Party.
Kristol left the Republican Party and is now a vehemently anti-Trump writer. There are certainly good-faith reasons why some conservatives have broken with Trump on a variety of issues.
However, the original column was endorsing the Democratic plan to pack the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority to force through a slew of political changes in the country.
Various Democrats have been pledging to not only impeach Trump (and a long list of other figures), but to pack the Supreme Court as soon as they regain power.
James Carville declared, “If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F— it. Eat our dust. Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”
This Nike School of Constitutional Law is catching on with a wide array of pundits and professors. Just do it.
Years ago, Harvard professor Michael Klarman laid out a radical agenda to change the system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.” However, he warned that “the Supreme Court could strike down everything I just described.” Therefore, the court must be packed in advance to allow these changes to occur.
Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder has put packing the Supreme Court front and center, explaining, “[We’re] talking about the acquisition and the use of power if there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028.”
Years ago, I wrote an academic piece on the possible expansion of the Supreme Court, but there is a world of difference between that and a court-packing plan. Under my proposal, the court’s expansion would take almost two decades to ensure that no president could pack the court.
It was not just the company that Kristol is keeping on the issue, or his endorsement of the long-anathema concept of court packing, but also his rationale for the move. Kristol cited the successful Democratic gerrymandering efforts in California and Virginia as triumphs that should now propel the left to pack the Court.
Kristol reposted the call for court packing from his colleague Jonathan Last: “Expanding the Supreme Court is no different from redistricting in California and Virginia,” he said. “It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”
Praising governors Gavin Newsom and Abigail Spanberger for their “ruthless” leadership in response to Republican gerrymandering, Kristol insisted that Democrats must meet “force with force” and must now pack the Supreme Court. Being ruthless, he argues, is the “only road to preserving liberal democracy.”
There is, of course, a considerable difference between altering political districts and packing the courts. Political gerrymandering has been around since the earliest days of the Republic.
The courts are not the same political fungible units. Indeed, the favorite term on the left is “illiberal democracy” to refer to democratic systems used to curtail rights and weaken checks and balances. Yet this illiberal means is being cited by Kristol as essential to save liberal democracy.
Liberal justices have spoken out against these calls for court packing.
The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said it would destroy the continuity and cohesion of the court.
She added, “If anything would make the court look partisan, it would be that — one side saying, ‘When we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of judges, so we would have more people who would vote the way we want them to.’”
The political districts are precisely that: political. They are part of the two political branches in a tripartite system. It is the courts that keep these political branches within their proper constitutional orbits.
There was, of course, no movement to pack the court when a series of liberal majorities rewrote major areas of constitutional law in the 1960s and 1970s. These demands from figures like Sen. Elizabeth Warren were only heard when the court began to rule against their chosen outcomes.
Warren explained that the court had to be packed to bring its rulings in line with “widely held public opinion.”
Of course, Article III was designed precisely to blunt such pressures to rule according to “widely held public opinion.” The Supreme Court is a counter-majoritarian body that was created to protect rights against the passions or demands of the majority.
As I discuss in my book, “Rage and the Republic,” the founders sought to avoid “democratic despotism” and “mobocracy” by creating barriers to direct democratic powers. The Supreme Court is essential as a bulwark against such impulse politics. Those pushing for an instant liberal majority would convert the court into the type of partisan judicial bodies seen in states like Wisconsin where jurists are selected to robotically vote for party priorities.
There is a reason why “ruthless” was not an attribute cited by anyone in the constitutional convention to be fostered in our Republic. On the contrary, the system is designed to temper ruthless passions for reasoned debate.
The court itself may be the ultimate test of the lingering capacity for reason among our citizens. Of course, we can be ruthless and tear down our institutions on the 250th anniversary of our Republic.
No democratic system is ever immune from self-inflicted wounds. That is why Benjamin Franklin reminded us that this remains our Republic if we can keep it. This year, we can celebrate that Republic, or we can ruthlessly destroy it in a fit of blind rage.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.”
N.B.: The original column was edited to make clear that Bill Kristol was reposting and endorsing the words of his colleague. I am still hoping that Kristol might still expressly reject this position and say that he was merely reposting a writer on the Bulwark and should not have highlighted this particular call for court packing. Thus far, he has not done so.
The new Democrat normal cannot be denied. If I were a Democrat I would be concerned.
The new Democrat normal: cheer the assassination of a Republican commentator. Mourn the failure of assassination attempts on the Republican president of the United States. Make a folk hero out of people who assassinate other people, including health care executives. Cole Allen is already a folk hero in the left.
This is not normal. This appears to reflect widespread mental illness on the Left in the US. These people are mentally deranged monsters.
I hasten to add that there are exceptions, which are notable because they are exceptions. For example, Senator John Fetterman has rightly pointed out that this incident is exactly why we need the new ballroom:
https://x.com/SenFettermanPA/status/2048390030561812902
And Van Jones – who continues to pleasantly surprise me – is rightly calling out this behavior, including making the assassins folk heroes, as something that has to stop:
https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/2048250739487654033
OTOH, a state-level Democrat politician in Wisconsin owns a bar, where he is promising free drinks all day on the day Trump dies. He is lamenting that he could not provide free libations today. I can’t link it b/c of the limit of two links, but you can find it easily enough with a google search.
Van Jones is Karl Marx Jr., aka, the enemy.
Fetterman suffered a disabling brain injury. There was no need for an event which Trump avoided for 9 years.
No cheering for the death of a millionaire hired by billionaires to convince the middle and lower classes to become minions to the oligarchs. There was bemusement that Kirk’s defense of gun rights included exactly what happened to him as justification.
This is more of a Darwin Award, though too late as Kirk had fathered children.
The most striking part is that the Conservatives who worshipped the ground upon which Kirk walked, really hated those on the left repeating what Kirk said about a great number of subjects. Almost as if the opinions Kirk expressed weren’t as important as his gad-flying on College campuses to groom young adults into being members of a cult.
In any case, Conservatives put their full weight behind a person who openly threatened to kill tens of millions of people and end an entire civilization out of frustration that his half-baked plan failed in the first 24 hours.
How strange it is that a-holes such as yourselves think you are entitled to the good life.
Pearls aren’t actually that good for improving grip strength.
A-holes such as yourselves deserve to live under tyranny.
Any life under dem progressives would be life under political tyranny.
“The goal of progressiveism and socialism is communism.”
– Vladimir Lenin
I doubt he said “progressivism.” Funny, but (more frequently than I would expect), when someone adds something to a quote, they misspell it – dead give away.
Court packing by one party would immediately yield (on a change of power) further court packing by the opposition party. In fact, it would consume the entirety of politics. It is dead on arrival on policy grounds.
“Democracy” is not under threat; rather ‘Democrat-cy’ is under threat and the Dems are thereby desperate to get political power back, and this includes, as they sink further into desperation, violence since it has become clear to them that they can’t get what they want any other way.
Just another effort by Turley to normalize Trump and the damage he has already done to our country, our relationships with our former allies and the damage he his Federalist Society radical conservatives on the SCOTUS have done to our laws.
Turley decries Bill Kristol for seeking “fundamental change “— we are already suffering from that from Trump—and, critically important, most Americans don’t like it. The “fundamental change” most Americans want is a reversal of the damage Trump has done to our economy, our democracy and our international relations. That’s why an unprecedented number of Americans are taking to the streets to protest him and the outrageous things he is doing. The normal reaction to Trump by those of us who aren’t MAGA cult members is outrage. We don’t want concentration camps or armed thugs grabbing up people or murdering US citizens.
Turley’s comments would only apply if Trump wasn’t: 1. The worst chronic, habitual liar who ever occupied the White House; you literally can’t believe anything he or members of his administration say about anything; 2. Didn’t lie to get into office about Project 2025 being his agenda, knowing that most Americans opposed it; and then immediately began implementing it— Stephen Miller had 180 Project 2025 “Executive Orders” ready for his signature on Day One; he didn’t even read them before signing; 3. Lied about “no new wars”, then started a war based on lies about Iran being on the verge of bombing us, even though our own intelligence said Iran lacked the capability to create a nuclear weapon and an ICBM to deliver it; no clear reason for killing the Iranian Supreme Leader, bombed a school and then lied about Iran being responsible; 4. A malignant narcissist who called non-MAGA media “the enemy of the people”, (so why would he attend the White House Correspondents Dinner— other than to deliver insults and to hog attention?); Unlike other Presidents, Trump is not a good sport about teasing; and he has the most- incompetent cabinet in US history; their main qualification is to do what they are told and to never contradict Trump. 5. He is utterly and totally incompetent and corrupt. He and his pathetic children are openly profiting from the fake Presidency of Trump and Republicans are doing nothing about it.
It’s clear that Trump’s “presidency” is just a big game to feed his massive ego and get attention and adulation. He has cowed the Republican Party and is trying to do the same to world leaders. It’s his fault that gas prices and inflation are rising, along with the cost of food. The rest of the world can’t believe we put up with this fool.
Trump will be gone soon, SCOTUS will remain as long as we can keep our Republic, which apparently Democrats want to destroy.
Vinrod: Democrats are fighting to preserve our republic and to restore our laws and relationships with our allies. Trump is the most destructive politician in our history. He literally cannot be trusted. The rest of the world knows this and so do most Americans.
This (and the previous A’ninny’mous) are both obviously delusional.
I really like him, I hope he runs again! Maybe Vance can run him as VP, then step aside after obliterating the Democrats.
Do you “really like” it when your hero said he was glad that Robert Mueller, a decorated Viet Nam veteran, died ? How about when he threatened to obliterate the entire Iranian civilization? Did you enjoy it when he threatened to blow up bridges, electric generator plants and desalination plants, all of which are war crimes?
All of these threats were childish tantrums because Iran wouldn’t capitulate to his demands. Tell us, has any US President ever said anything like this before? The only comparison that comes to mind is Kruschov’s statement that “we will bury you”, during the Cold War.
Then there’s the demand that Canada become the 51st state, and his threats to invade Greenland and Panama. Are these things OK with you? They aren’t acceptable to most Americans.
He had not kept any of the commitments he made during the campaign, and has violated the pledge for no new wars and to release the Epstein files.
Trump will lock himself in the new bunker and refuse to come out. If so, Trump will declare some national emergency, pause the transfer of power, and the Republicans will agree it is for the best.
Did you read my post on critical thinking the other day? You clearly lack the requisite skills.
You sais, “…our own intelligence said Iran lacked the capability to create a nuclear weapon and an ICBM to deliver it.”
Like a typical sophist you add an irrelevant item to a critical one. In your example, everyone believes they were close to making a nuclear weapon. That’a the critical point. The ICBM is irrelevant. With the missles they have, they could easily attack a U.S. airbase nearby. They have medium range missles to attack U.S. installations in Europe or just Europe. That threat would be enough to bully the world. With no rocket, they could use a dirty bomb against the mainland.
Of course, your entire diatribe is an exercise in sophistry. Foolishness! Once again, I think you are on the wrong board. Sorry.
NO ONE believes Iran was “close” to a nuclear weapon. That is a lie Trump told that is not backed up by US intelligence. In June, 2025. Trump said Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was “totally and completely obliterated”. Was that a lie? Could Iran rebuild a nuclear enrichment program in 8 months’ time? MAGA media has to keep spreading this lie because the alternative is that Trump is just an incompetent liar who started a war without justification.
It wouldn’t even be an issue if Trump hadn’t torn up the JCPOA brokered by the Obama Administration solely because it was a major accomplishment and Trump is insanely jealous of Obama and his success and popularity. You MAGAS always try to defend Trump after he lies and attack anyone who points out that Trump is lying.
Trump is the autopen for the Heritage Foundation.
Immediately after 9/11/2001, the mainstream media went on and on about the dangers of Islamophobia. This seemed a bit odd given that Islamic jihadists had murdered 3,000 of us, not the other way around. But whatever.
Now it turns out Cole Allen, the would-be assassin from last night, was motivated by anti-Trump and anti-Christian bigotry. I wonder, will the media now warn against Christophobia? (crickets)
More likely, if 9/11 set the pattern, we’ll now hear dire warnings about Trump-hater-phobia or Christian-hater-phobia.
Our culture is populated by individuals incapable of deep thought. The foundation of Western Civilization is what you and I consider to be the bedrock of our society. It dates back to the Ancients (e.g. Aristotle paraphrased, “Through discipline comes freedom “.) Our present culture has rejected these in favor of a false definition of “freedom”. Hence they are not only bereft of intellectual thinking but also slaves to their impulses.
Pope John Paul II and St. Augustine explain.
The commandments thus represent the basic condition for love of neighbour; at the same time they are the proof of that love. They are the first necessary step on the journey towards freedom, its starting-point.
“The beginning of freedom”, Saint Augustine writes, “is to be free from crimes… such as murder, adultery, fornication, theft, fraud, sacrilege and so forth. When once one is without these crimes (and every Christian should be without them), one begins to lift up one’s head towards freedom. But this is only the beginning of freedom, not perfect freedom…”.

Nothing hit Building 7.
Mossad stalked and facilitated the Saudi Arabian hijackers and packed the elevator shafts in the WTC with controlled demolition packages.
Mossad is good. Mossad is very good.
It’s NOT “bigotry” to be anti- Trump. Most people who voted in 2024 did not vote for him. He constantly lies about everything—losing in 2020, “Mexico will pay to build the wall”, denying Project 2025 was his agenda after polls showed that the majority of the country opposed it, then immediately enacting it, promising to bring an immediate drop in the price of groceries “on day one”, “no new wars”, then starting a war because wealthy Jews gave him hundreds of millions of dollars to do Netanyahu ‘s bidding.
He lied about Iran being poised to drop a nuclear bomb on U.S. (after tearing up the JCPOA , which was protecting us), said he would release the entire Epstein files and then ordered Pammie Jo to hide most of the files, pardoned insurrectionists who beat up the Capitol Police, is paying $1.25 million dollars to Michael Flynn as “reparations” after he pleaded guilty AND lost his appeal, is intending to pay “reparations” to the J6 insurrectionists, including those who pleaded guilty and those who were found guilty by a jury…
The list of reasons to be anti Trump is much longer. Thousands of people in Iran and 16 US service members are dead because of him, and this war has no foreseeable end. He and his family are profiting from the war by selling drones. He accepts lavish gifts from foreign countries who want the US to keep the war going, he is considering bailing out UAE, one of the world’s wealthiest countries, and the US is supporting Israel financially even though it engages in genocide against the Palestinians. Supporting someone like Trump is what is abnormal. And phobias have nothing to do with it. He is rotten to the core and unfit to be President.
To be fair, AIPAC holds sway over the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. It’s above Trump’s pay grade.
Specifically, 9/11 was from an Arab cult that followed Osama bin Laden and was outside the usual structure of Islam.
I recall seeing Sikhs getting killed because American red-neck bigot thought anyone with a turban was Islamic.
Media has wrapped everything in partisan politics, the 4th Estate (not the 5th Estate) is out of control and it needs to be reined in or shut it down.
That’s not censorship or denial of Free Speech. It is now the necessity due to lack of social responsibility by those of the 4th Estate.
4th estate meaning:
The “4th Estate” is a term referring to the news media (journalists, broadcasters, press) and their crucial, independent watchdog role in a democracy. It highlights their power to scrutinize government branches (legislative, executive, judicial) and hold officials accountable, acting as a crucial check on power.
5th estate meaning
The 5th Estate refers to a modern socio-cultural, decentralized group—primarily bloggers, independent journalists, social media influencers, and online networks—that shapes public opinion outside of traditional mainstream media (the “Fourth Estate”). It represents an alternative, often watchdog, voice that utilizes web technologies to bypass traditional media, reporting on issues neglected by mainstream sources.
As I have written before, the Supreme Court needs expanding to 15 members. I’ll also now note that 3 of the current ones need to be impeached, convicted and removed for lack of Good Behavior; the Chief Justice, Alito and Thurgood Marshall’s ill-chosen replacement.
Dear Professor, federal judges are impeached for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” as defined by Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. While serving during “good Behaviour” (Article III), judges are typically impeached for serious ethical misconduct, criminal acts, corruption, or abuse of judicial power rather than legal disagreements.
Given the above, I’m curious: on what grounds do you believe those three judges should be impeached?
Kansas Elder — Thomas and Alito for consorting with rich men, vacations and whatnot; men with business before the court. Surely a form of malfeasance.
Roberts for introducing the shadow docket to hide the fact that he ruled in favor of rich businesses, polluters, etc., rather than on matters of constitutional law. Briefly, bad judging.
Dear Professor: the Supreme Court has always had an emergency docket, Roberts didn’t introduce it. A political commentator renamed it “shadow” for his own political purposes. But that is not its name, and moreover, it is a misnomer given that the rulings are all published, just like rulings on the court’s ordinary (discretionary review) docket.
Taking a vacations is not an impeachable offense, nor is consorting with rich men, nor are disagreements about the court’s substantive rulings.
The only potential ethical violation you’ve referred to is consorting with people who have cases currently pending before the court. You said “business before the court” so I’m assuming you mean pending cases. Therefore, would you kindly support that accusation with more specific information about which men, and which cases you have in mind? You made the claim that their actions are severe enough to rise to the level of an impeachable offense, so you have the burden of giving the particulars. Of course, you may choose not to, but then you have no basis to complain if the rest of us dismiss you as a bag of hot air.
Kansas Elder — It is all been in the news and rose such a stink that Thomas and Alito quit. I’m not going to do a history search for you just because you don’t keep up. I recommend The New York Times, daily.
In other words, you don’t know. You’re just repeating what you vaguely remember hearing from some biased and unreliable fake news source. You’re the one who made the libelous accusations but you can’t name specifics. You can’t support your accusations with any actual information. Got it.
Professor: You have the right to make such comments, but you don’t have the right to be taken seriously.

Along the lines of this editorial.
Shadow docket
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_docket
Any other Federal employee accepting a $100,000 to $500,000 valued vacation from someone doing business with the government would be fired and possibly be charged with accepting a bribe. Alito and Thomas have done this multiple times.
Joseph Biden called Dr. Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, his “good friend”. It turns out Bourla lied about Paxlovid. Pfizer did make bank on their COVID drug Paxlovid ($22 Billion in 2022 alone).
Sadly, the following clinical research involving Paxlovid took 2 years to publish their findings. It recruited patients from December 2021 to September 2024.
Oral Nirmatrelvir–Ritonavir for Covid-19 in Higher-Risk Outpatients
CONCLUSIONS
In two open-label trials, nirmatrelvir–ritonavir did not reduce the incidence of hospitalization or death among vaccinated higher-risk participants with SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, and others; PANORAMIC ISRCTN number, 2021-005748-31; CanTreatCOVID ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05614349.)
Published April 22, 2026 N Engl J Med 2026;394:1583-1594, DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2502457
Did it reduce the rate of transmission among those who were vaccinated?
A vaccine is not a force field. It is a wake-up call to the immune system. If the immune system doesn’t respond to a look-alike crippled/non-functional analog to the vaccine, there is nothing a vaccine can do. However, among those who do respond, it prevents the infection from overwhelming the immune system, usually before becoming symptomatic and before reaching high levels of transmissibility. If all it did was prevent low risk people from passing the virus along to high-risk people, that is worthwhile.
The national bank, the Civil War, the Federal Reserve Act, and the entire communist American welfare state, including Social Security, Medicaid, etc., were and are all unconstitutional and must have been struck down long ago.
Karl Marx did not write the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Thomas, off the top, for accepting bribes.
No fool like an old fool…

@Anonymous @Darren
Really guys? Come on. This is blatant now and people just taking advantage. Please give us a formal registration option or its equalivent.
America is no more a two-party government than the UK, DE, FR or IN: besides the two major parties there are some 50+ divergent political parties, recognized as independent. According to Gallup the trend line for the two majors has been falling since the 1990’s from an average high of mid 30%’s with a minor separation between the two, to now registering an equal 27% making the independents at 45% the deciding factor in any election.
This highlights’ what I’ve considered a problem for Congress, where rigid party identifiers absorb the leaning independents who are not given any chance in fostering an independent compromise. The Independents trend lines show conservative independents having a consistent range of +/- 30%, Moderates +/- 43%, and Very liberal (or should I say illiberal) gaining +/- some 7% since 1990 to now represent 24% of independents and 59% of all democrats.
The throw as much crap on the wall as possible by the likes of (you name the fool) shows they are nothing more than indomitable bloviators that must have reincarnated from the No-nothing Party of era’s past. I’d define them as nothing more than {POMPOUS ASSES}.
The Founders didn’t give Americans parties. They gave Americans the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The singular American failure has been and remains the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court. The black-robed juristocracy has “legislated from the bench” and ruled since 1789, when it began the implementation not of American fundamental law but of its own dictatorship. It began by striking down freedom of speech and press and imposing absurd and irrefutably unconstitutional defamation laws. It then proceeded to a wholly unconstitutional national bank that enjoys no legal basis in the Constitution, specifically Article 1, Section 8. In modernity, America is forcibly compelled by the judicial branch to impose the irrefutably unconstitutional Social Security and Medicare; the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Act; and the balance of the colossal communist American welfare state as the ruse, “The War on Poverty”—poverty won, incidentally.
Add Kristol to the following group of has-beens: Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Green, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly.
More Two Minutes Hate.
Did you not watch Sesame Street as a child? Kristol is in no way like those in the group you mention.
By the way, Tucker is not antisemitic and he is correct about Israel.
Looks to me like people have the Israel thing bass-ackwards, criticising the actions of the Israeli government is in no way antisemitic but it sure looks like the Israeli government is doing it darndest to make people antisemitic. FTFY.
Old Fish, when you criticize Israel and ONLY Israel it’s not a geopolitical thing. When you defend Hamas, Iran and others you hate Jews.
The way people like you “criticize” Israel as if it’s only because you hate their leader is the same as Anti-Americans claim they only hate Trump and that’s why they want an open border, defund ICE and police, root for Iran etc etc.
Tucker thinks Islam is the religion of peace??? Owens talks about Jews daily. MTG is suddenly talking the same.
These Dems you say just have a problem with the government of Israel are hosting Hassan Piker.
Sorry pal, I sense Jew hatred from you and it reeks.
Your criticism of my comment assumes a great deal that is not in evidence. You are reveling in your own confirmation bias.
I have never defended Hamas or Iran. I think Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. I wish we could halt and reverse its spread.
I have made no comments about Democrats and their attitudes towards Israel.
My personal opinion is that Israel has betrayed, on multiple occasions, what was a highly favorable ally relationship with the US. I cannot forgive that.
What reeks is your lack of comprehension.
Islam is not a religion; it is a government, to include wholly adverse, hostile, and unconstitutional Sharia Law.
Incompatible indeed!
@Anonymous
Yup, and Sharia law is part and parcel of Islam, and yes, it is wholly incompatible with our inalienable rights in this country. Our freedom of religion gives them a loophole. Young people practically begging for such stupidity only reflects their own. They have no idea that women in Pakistan wore go-go dresses before the Islamists infiltrated.
Islam is a government, not a religion, is not protected by the 1st Amendment, and may not be exercised in the U.S.
Where in the world is the Supreme Court, in the Middle East on a pilgrimage?
Half religion. Half government.
If you’re half right, you’re half wrong; if you’re half wrong, you’re all wrong.
You buy bridges, I guess.
😂 yes, anon, it’s not a religion. It’s government. Finally the dawn has come.
100% on target Bombs away!
“My personal opinion is that Israel has betrayed, on multiple occasions, what was a highly favorable ally relationship with the US. I cannot forgive that.”
@ Old Fish: Fine. We all feel betrayed at one time or another as a protective measure, but when such hostility focuses on one entity, there is either a valid reason or there is not. If there is a reason, say it; if not, you are simply a hater, which in this case amounts to antisemitism.
I am not always happy with the decisions the Israeli government makes, but overall, Israel is a great country. I am not always happy with the American government, even though I love America. I will say what is wrong with America, but you accuse Israel of betrayal, but refuse to say what those acts are. That places you as a likely antisemite.
@Anonymous
Yup, though for myself I never liked any of them. Candace in particular, but not fan of the Ann Coulter/Bill O’Reilly Fox era, either. Saw Candace on Dave Rubin’s podcast years ago and thought she was a child. But that was the unicorn era, and for some reason perfectly grown adults who new better decided their kids knew better, on all sides of the aisle. It was like a very bizarre and complete abandonment of presence and wisdom. Now, here we are.
A triple dose of truthiness:
Liberalism is a mental disorder. The Left ruins everything it touches. Leftists are mentally-deranged monsters.
The right denies reality of what a fascist their dear leader is.
It’s like people who deny being racist despite evidence to the contrary.
Dream on fool. Did Prez Trump FORCE you to take the CV shot?
No, but Biden sure did
If we may not be racist, Karl, must we hate our own race like this guy @7:50?
Biden was fascist with his government-social media-censorship complex and his Orwellian ministry of truth. Trump dismantled that and restored freedom.
Your cultish inability to understand that is of a piece with a Cal Tech grad throwing his life away over some deranged Trump hatred.
Can you name a court ruling the facist dictator Trump has disobeyed? I’ll give you plenty that Biden did, starting with school loans. You’re an idiot with TDS.
The left values vice. It’s understandable that people turn to crime. Virtues are luxuries. You grow a garden to eat and gather wood as fuel. Admirable self sufficiency.
So it is…
Do you think this blog is self generated in part or whole? I do.
Peace all…
In 1990, Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s former wife, stated that he kept a copy of My New Order, a collection of speeches written by Adolf Hitler, by his bedside. According to Vanity Fair reporter Marie Brenner, Trump told her in a 1990s interview that it was “my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew”. When Brenner asked Davis if he had given the book to Trump, he said that, “it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”
So??
This is the typical pathetic low IQ leftist moronic way of smearing someone: criticizing what they read. It’s so weak and stupid it’s laughable.
I have known many people who have read Hitler and also Marx, not to mention Adam Smith. The reason is obvious to anyone who wants to understand history. But stupid low IQ moronic imbecile leftists who comment here cannot understand something that simple, because their IQ is below 50.
If he was seeking tips and advice on how to do similar things in America, then this is a fair concern.
This might not have been Trump’s reason. His reason could have been more sinister.
So now reading Mien Kampf makes you a Nazi? I think we should collect all copies and burn them and while we’re at it, let’s get all those other books that we find disagreeable! You know why read about what led to a World War in efforts to understand, stupid right?
It can be a giant bonfire at every library! Come on gang! /s
Trump studied the writings of a fascist.
This should bother Trump supporters who don’t like fascism.
That is the stupidest B.S. I read the Communist Manifesto when I was 17. Did that make me a Communist? The next week, I read “On Liberty”.
If that wasn’t your objective. But it could have been someone else’s objective.
Coulda shoulda woulda. You just assume someone else’s motives and post a comment as if your assumption is fact. Moron.
Perhaps you should read it and burn your copy of “Dreams of my father “ authored by Bill Ayers the domestic terrorist…
AI Overview
Yes, Jared Kushner is Jewish and the son-in-law of Donald Trump. He was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, married Ivanka Trump in 2009, and served as a senior advisor during the Trump administration.

Really: who do you think an ‘AI overview’ is impressing? Your age is written right on your sleeve, oh brainless one.
Wait. You failed to impeach the witness who is widely accepted as a brilliant expert. Is my age an essential part of your rebuttal? The Court of Saint James is wide of the mark on this one.
Kristol is and always was a swamp opportunist. I think it’s pretty clear who is violent and unwell and who is not at this point. Hint: it’s not independent voters, libertarians, or non-establishment republicans. Our modern left is both a travesty and a sh*t show, and the RINOs are basically card-carrying members of the leftist uniparty, even if it’s just self-serving.
Re the shooting: glad the suspect was taken alive. This needs to be front and center in the pubic eye, and I suspect our modern media are too narcissistic to let their presence be overlooked (though that still doesn’t guarantee good reporting. Some might even claim Trump put their lives in danger by being in the room with them). The sane can see, and I really do think that is still most of us, however narrow the margin. Kristol is not in that group.
Milley wrote a letter of resignation for Trump, which stated, referring to America’s role in the Second World War, that, “That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism… It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order. You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against.”
If someone as corrupt and treasonous as Milley says that about you, then you’re definitely doing the right thing for America.
This just means the demonization of him was successful and your
brain was washed.
The same kind of thing happens in China and North Korea.
I realize you were looking in the mirror when you said that.
Two Minutes Hate
Why did America and the Allies fight WWII? Not for what we have now. Ask this veteran.
@ 2:49, unchecked “immigration.”
Were you referring to the same Gen. Mark Milley who suggested a coup against the elected president of the United States with an implied support of the progressive oligarchs of the military should they do so? And for this action received a Presidential pardon theoretically exempting him with full prejudice against prosecution or trial any crime (e.g., rape, murder, . . .) because said President Uncle Joe Biden believes his idealism exempts him from law and recognizes him as a fully justified criminal advocate of treason and violence?
A soldier is NOTHING BUT discipline, that is, obedience.
Ergo, Milley is no soldier and, ultimately, NOTHING BUT a traitor.
