Times change. Looks like you are stuck in the past. Carlson is not anti Christian.

Try to be truthful istead of sensationalizing things so that they fit the narrative you wish something to be.

It sounded like you said he didn’t steal the money that was intended to go to Ukraine. Manchin and Sinema mixed his funding, so he had to gin up funding from Ukraine.

No, I am just basing it on what he’s done since he left Fox. He’s siding with Muslims and atheists. And no, I don’t think Iran is the good guy.

After reading some of the girl’s testimony (who was recently freed), i don’t care. I don’t care about the Palanimals nor HamAss.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Macgregor did the planning for strikes on civilian targets for Weaselly Clark during the Kosovo War. He’s a snake.

Criticizing American foreign policy insofar as the State of Israel is concerned does not necessarily imply a person is “anti-Jewish”.

Anti-Jewish? Who lives in Israel?

To me, Macgregor's views have always seemed political opinions with little in the way of genuine knowledge or insight. He reminds me of someone from years ago when I was living in Naples, Florida.

A retired military officer used to give talks to civic groups on the state of the Cold War based on supposed inside information that he was privy to. A friend of mine who was a retired spy heard one of his talks and sensed something was off about the guy, so he called a high level Pentagon contact to do a background check.

As it happened, the man was exaggerating his rank and experience and had never been a Pentagon briefing officer or even a military intel analyst. A few phone calls then ended the man's career as a local speaker on military affairs.

Macgregor reminds me of that fellow, being too definitive in his opinions and without a genuine strategist's sense of the uncertain nature of information and strategic choices in an ongoing conflict.

Worse, nowadays only a genuine dolt would not know that the Protocols of Zion was definitively discredited as an anti-Jewish fake or that Hamas casualty figures are grossly inflated for propaganda purposes. Since Muslim burials are public events that are easily monitored by Israel and the US from above for a reliable casualty count, Hamas's lying about casualties is well-established.

Tucker, McGregor, Janssen, Ritter, and their deranged ilk will all be deeply saddened when the most pro-Israel CIC in our history (President Trump) is re-elected this Nov.

“why so many conservatives are so vehemently opposed to aiding Ukraine.”
Because the U. S. gains nothing from it except more national debt. If Russia keeps the territory it has occupied what happens? Nothing. It use to be Russian territory before the U.S.S.R. Gave it to Ukraine anyway. I don’t care about other countries I care about the U.S. and we’re a mess and getting worse.

That pretty much captures the essence of the whole quagmire perfectly.

Pedophile Scott Ritter is also a frequent guest on Cyrus Janssen

Since he left Fox, Carlson has gone to the anti-Jewish, anti-Christian left.

Because Tucker is funded by Iranian-Pakistani Muslim financeer Omeed Malik, who provided seed capital to Tucker's new media company, and previously purchased Daily Caller from Carlson.

I’d like to hear Tucker Carlson talking about giving billions to the Palestinians. Do you have a link to that?

Yup, Macgregor spouts a lot of nonsense.

Ryan McBeth fact checks Col. Macgregor, finds numerous misleading statements.

After the first month or so of the Ukraine War, McGregor, like Scott Ritter, has been DEAD-ON regarding the events there (saying all along that Ukraine would NEVER be able to take back the land that Russia occupies, including their ‘Greatest Offensive’), so I listen to him for that.

As far as Israel goes, he’s probably correct there too (saying stuff like Israel has isolated itself and will soon lose any remaining support for the conflict), but that doesn’t mean he’s on the right side of the conflict. And, like everyone else on that side of the conflict, he doesn’t provide an answer as to how Israel is supposed to live side-by-side with an entity that is hell-bent on killing every last Jew.

The bottom line is that there are people who are right on Israel and there are people who are right on Ukraine, but there are very few significant people who are right on both conflicts, so I just watch people like McGregor/Ritter/Dima to hear what they have to say about Ukraine, and come here to get news regarding Israel.

But Ukraine has taken back territory including the major metropolitan area of Kherson. You and MacGregor have been wrong on everything and predict Ukraine’s impending collapse over and over again. You are both communist stooges.

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
Book by John Joseph Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt

This book came out in 2007. I bought and read it in 2007. The book makes a compelling and comprehensive case that AIPAC has an outsized influence on US Foreign Policy to the detriment of our own national interests. They were essentially saying what MacGregor is indicating. It was and is a controversial book.
