As usual, your potpourri contains many interesting ingredients, some distressing. I shall confine my comments to only one, viz., L'Affaire Carlson. I frequently take longish bicycle rides on local trails, and since I do this without companionship, I take the opportunity to listen to various and sundry podcasts that match my anticipated ride time. Last week, it was Tucker Carlson's turn in the barrel. The promo promised a discussion with a "soi disant historian", one Darryl Cooper, who was later revealed to be not so much historian as another podcaster/You Tuber who, like others of his ilk such as Dan Carlin and the pseudonymous Drachinifel (who is really quite good on naval history), or TIK (interesting lectures about WWII), who discuss historical topics. At the outset, the discussion was about Jim Jones and his People's Temple, then it drifted into WW II revisionism, specifically criticism of Churchill, then about Operation Barbarossa, about which I know quite a lot. I am somewhat ambivalent about Churchill, but still admire his resolve against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, but many of the points were quite, shall I say, contrarian in nature, especially on Barbarossa, Hitler and Stalin. However, it was still interesting and made my ride more enjoyable and I forgot about it until the next day when BOOM! the internet and the opinionsphere exploded, mostly in condemnation of Carlson for even hosting that awful fellow. As usual, it served as yet another avenue for condemnation of all things MAGA, but otherwise, I find it to be a tempest in a teapot, which is SOP for everything on the internet and the MSM, where Alinsky's tactics are alway on display. The only thing that disturbed me was Carlson's enthusiasm for Cooper's views, but that's Carlson's schtick--bubbly overenthusiasm and overconfidence in the correctness of his own opinions. But at least Carlson is presenting something different than the "approved" agenda.
Besides Soros and Zuckerberg, of course. Millions of other Jews across the West - 70-75% - who yearn for the "good old days" of their Messiahs - Lenin and Stalin - and intend to get there BAMN.
I like Tucker in spite of his crazy laugh. I don't always agree with him, his guests nor his take, but he does present the other side to the lock step media's screed and I find the argumentum ad hominem from our side rather sad.

Who do you think FUNDS this?

SOME of the rest might be decent human beings!
