Several days ago I saw a video in which Victor Davis Hanson dismantled Tucker’s ramblings as only VDH could do. He made it clear he took no joy in this because he has known and liked TC for a good while but he just couldn’t let this go unanswered. I believe a lot of people feel this way about the “loss” of TC.
BTW, speaking just for myself, I’m relieved that VDH is healthy enough to make his knowledgeable contributions to current events again!

I don’t know how many of you are on social media, but it’s very disturbing to hear how many people are still taking Candace Owens seriously, especially her Charlie Kirk conspiracies. And how many will drop unsolicited antisemitic comments into posts. Prominent people on the right who have steadfastly stayed with Israel and who have generally avoided the Tucker Carlson and/or Candace Owens trap get inundated with nasty remarks.

James Lindsay is right that we must fight the “Woke Right” and the left at the same time.

When Tucker was fired by Fox, I subscribed to his “network.” I’ve since dropped it. I may double my payments to James Lileks.

I never followed Carlson or Owens. Yesterday a Matt Walsh podcast played while I was driving and he was featuring Owens and played several pieces of her excoriating Erica Kirk and her family history. I can’t believe people spend time listening to such stupidity, slander and ignorance. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and she comes across as a shallow high schooler. It was horrible. A couple years ago I did watch an interview Carlson did with a brother and sister regarding big pharma and food production. I found their information interesting but it was the 1st time I saw him interview someone. He was obsequious and at some points weirdly laughing. What a strange man–and that was before this latest foolishness. I don’t understand their success, and especially their current popularity.

Oldflyer and others: On the Liberty, note in my post that quote from Ace: "[Tucker] continues insisting Israel knew it was an American ship, even though the NSA has released intercepted radio transmissions showing that Israel had identified the ship as Egyptian." Here's are more details of the story:

The U.S.S. Liberty received an order to withdraw from the war zone tragically late because the ship was not under Sixth Fleet command owing to its intelligence agency control, high-ranking Naval sources said today in commenting on the findings of an inquiry. These sources said the Liberty was operating in a clandestine manner owing to its function as an electronic "ferret ship." Instead of receiving its operational guidance from the Sixth Fleet which was familiar with the situation in the area, the Liberty could move only with the authority of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This order was transmitted in a faulty manner and arrived only after the tragic error was made by Israeli forces. Reports received in Washington today from Israel quoted highly-placed sources as revealing that the Liberty answered an identification challenge with the same signals used by Egyptian destroyers during the 1956 war. An Israeli torpedo boat asked the Liberty to identify herself. The Liberty signaled back "A-A," meaning "identify yourself first." This was the same signal given by the Egyptian destroyer Ibrahim E1 Awal in 1956 when she tried to bombard Haifa and was captured. When the Israelis received the Egyptian routine in reply, and were unaware from any U.S. source that an American ship was off the coast, the attack was ordered. It was broken off immediately upon determination that the ship was American. The Naval court of inquiry, which revealed the misrouting of operational orders to the Liberty said the ship’s captain could have moved further out to sea on his own initiative.

csimon: Unfortunately, Greenwald is as rabidly anti-Israel as they come. He is also not on the right. He is an extreme libertarian who often supports leftist points of view but sometimes aligns with points of view on the right. Early in his writing career he wrote for Salon and then the Guardian. Although born Jewish, he was raised with zero Jewish upbringing (no instruction, no Bar Mitzvah - nothing of the sort). He also sustained a huge loss in 2023, that of his husband. I don't know how that factors in, but it can't have possibly helped his mood.

I saw a post suggesting that Carlson may have some sort of neurological illness. I rather doubt it. Being a believing Christian, I do not discount demonic activity in both Carlson and Owens.
