Tucker Carlson is the largest purveyor of Hitler apologia in the United States. To act, as Vance does, like Carlson's most controversial view is opposing the Iran war is a slap in the face to every American who fought the Nazis and is beneath the office of the Vice President.
JD Vance on Tucker Carlson:
Tucker, obviously, one of the reasons he's very, very angry is over the Iran war. He does not like the Iran war.
He and I have had that conversation in private, in public. I know how he feels, and I understand.
What I've said to Tucker is, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

Audience member: Will you condemn antisemitism, and specifically the antisemitism coming from influencers like Tucker Carlson?
Vance: <rambles for several minutes while evading the question about Tucker Carlson>
Lifelong Democrat Eddie Rubin is a father with two children who survived a terrorist attack in March at their preschool inside Temple Israel in Michigan when a man rammed a truck into the building. He asked Vice President JD Vance if he would commit to combating antisemitism from the right and those who continue to spread it.
“I condemn antisemitism. I condemn Jew hatred," Vance said. "I condemn anybody who would judge another human being based on who their mother or father were or what their ethnicity was, what their religion is.”

THEY TOLD Jalen Hurts NOT TO SLEEP 🤯
YET THEY STILL LET HIM PLAY.
Are you kidding me right now????
FIRE THE ENTIRE @Eagles MEDICAL STAFF NOW.
THIS IS BLATANT MALPRACTICE.
Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep after his initial diagnosis of a superficial blood clot while in London.
Hurts stayed awake for roughly 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars.
(per @TomPelissero)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tom Pelissero, the source cited, later clarified after speaking to Jalen Hurts' agent that Hurts was able to sleep after hospital evaluation and felt rested to play.

Leftists are doing the same thing with the France violence as they did with the BLM riots and Kirk and Thompson assassinations.
1) Rely on your ideological brethren to inflict the terroristic violence.
2) Issue a perfunctory condemnation before quickly swinging to “but it wouldn’t have happened if you just gave us what we want”
It’s wanting the terroristic violence to work without having to take the blame for pulling the trigger.

We shouldn’t be celebrating Jalen Hurts being in the hospital with a superficial blood clot and being told not to sleep before playing an NFL game.
What are we doing?
Dr. Frankenstein doesn't seem to like his monster.
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

It’s the perfect Obama tweet. Starting with his own admin, his party has spent the last decade doing the opposite of the first sentence. The second sentence is a lie. Preening, hypocritical, mendacious, empty. Perfect. Batting for the Obama cycle.
No notes.

Apologies in advance for the capitalization, but with @JDVance defending his Jew-hating mentor @TuckerCarlson again I feel compelled to remind you that two weeks ago TUCKER CARLSON SAID IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA FOR BRITAIN TO BEAT HITLER
"I've never understood, why fight the second world war in the first place?"
Anti-anti-Hitler podcaster @TuckerCarlson argues that Britain SHOULD NOT HAVE FOUGHT THE NAZIS. A transcript of the discussion starting at 1:02 in this clip (watch before/after for context)...
Tucker: "The UK had nothing to do with it, at all, and they destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war that they still pretend was a good idea, but it wasn't."
Jacob Rees-Mogg: "It was fundamental. It was the classic Good vs. Evil."
Tucker: "Has the UK benefited from it?"
JRM: "We did the right thing."
Tucker: "Is it a better country than it was?"
JRM: "To have defeated Hitler, yes."
Tucker: "So the UK is a better country now, it's a healthier country now--"
JRM: "The allies would be speaking German!"
Tucker: "Who cares?"
JRM: "I do."
Tucker: "There are a lot of people in Britain who can't speak English, so it would be nice to have, like, at least a European language spoken in your country!"

This poll shows that JD Vance has 95% approval with 19% of the American electorate.
Do the math to see if that translates into a "winning" coalition.

It’s rare to see a more cynical creep—workshopping every argument to make sure nobody could ever accuse him of supporting Israel and Jews.
No, el-Sayed does not simply “oppose the Iran war”—and he doesn’t oppose it because of “international law.”
Absolute dirtbags.
JD Vance on Tucker Carlson:
When Tucker says, for example, that Abdul El-Sayed is the America First candidate, what I'd say to Tucker, again, I've said this to him privately and I'll say it publicly:
Abdul El-Sayed is a guy who you agree with about the Iran war, and I understand that.
But wait a second. This is a guy who says that the Iran conflict is a problem because it violates international law.
How is that America First?

Who is the audience for this? He gets under 3K views on YouTube, 2K views here. Does Blaze have internal data that he gets big numbers on their platform? This doesn’t seem sustainable.
Oh he's a Tesla driver. Explains a lot.
I can’t even kinda look at my phone for a few moments without my Tesla alerting me. If there is no response from the driver then the vehicle will pull over and stop.
Also, even if I did fall asleep and it didn’t detect it (highly unlikely) the car would not drive straight into another vehicle.
The only way this happens is if a driver was the one driving and fell asleep or was drunk and hit another car. But if he did fall asleep, the Tesla had regenerative braking and the car would begin to slow down pretty quickly if the gas peddle wasn’t pushed.
Seems highly unlikely that FSD was on.
