When people talk about the left and right wings they assume a straight line but your circle is much more appropriate, the extremes join in tyranny.

As for Candace Owens she would be nothing without Dennis Prager. He broadcast a podcast with Marisa this week for the first time since his tragic accident.

As most of those conservative "influencers" are heard/seen on media I don't access, I was not aware until very recently (thanks to Helen Hunt's Substack), that they were anti-Semite wolves disguised in sheep clothing. I guess they are so-called Christian Nationalists. They are all people with oversized egos who believe their views are the only proper or real ones. Owens and Peters (who has a slimy reputation) impress my as the type to jump on any popular bandwagon that will gain them clicks. Gaetz is a bit of a surprise. If they are in opposition to Trump and try to influence him, they will have a quick slide into infamy. I don't know if they are extremist right or relics of the KKK, but they will alienate the majority base of (MAGA) Republicans rather quickly. My only problem (other than their stink) is that they have large audiences that they can influence. We hardly need any more anti-Jew, anti-Israel haters now. We have more than enough. Hopefully, that group will reinforce regular support of Israel/Jews by their Nazi-like rants.

Oh, no, I definitely believe in climates. ;)

Surak, please check out the “Christian antisemitism” tab at this website, elijahnet.net. This is the website of a man I have known for over 20 years - the man I respect and have learned the most from of any of my teachers.

He seems to be level headed. That virtue is in a distinct minority these days...

Hello Surak, I hope you are well, and belatedly

שנה טובה ומתוקה

I agree with your main point, and I think the danger posed by Carlson cannot be overestimated.

If you have the time and inclination next week, I'd like to discuss what you said. I'm currently abroad and only have my phone for typing (which is quickly headache inducing for me), but I'll be able to write at a proper keyboard from Sunday onwards.

I should have included Bannon, Blumenthal, Carroll, Finkelstein, Greenwald, Jones, Kelly, Rogan, Smith, Tate, and West in the hall of infamy.
