.@RonaldReagan never wavered when it came to Israel and antisemitism: "And let me be clear: anyone who attacks a Jew because he is a Jew attacks America." Here are some of his quotes over the years: 1982: ”Antisemitism is a moral evil, and we must oppose it wherever it appears. It is not only an attack on Jews; it is an attack on the very foundation of a free and decent society. We must never be neutral in the face of bigotry. We must stand up, speak out, and act decisively against it.” 1983: "There is no room in a free society for antisemitism—none. It is a poison that destroys the soul of a nation. And let me be clear: anyone who attacks a Jew because he is a Jew attacks America. Because the Jewish people are part of the very fabric of this country. And we will defend that fabric with all our strength." 1983: "We’ve seen too much hatred in this world—hatred that led to the gas chambers, hatred that still burns in the hearts of bigots today. Antisemitism has no place in America. It has no place in any civilized society. And as long as I am President, we will use every tool—moral, legal, and educational—to drive it from our midst." 1986: "Antisemitism, like all forms of bigotry, is an assault on the dignity of the human person and a direct challenge to the ideals of justice and equality that are the bedrock of our Nation. We must remain vigilant against it in all its forms—whether in the desecration of synagogues, the slander of Jewish citizens, or the denial of Israel’s right to exist in peace." 1993: "The Holocaust was not just a Jewish tragedy; it was a human tragedy. Antisemitism was its fuel. And let no one ever forget: the first victims of the Nazis were not just Jews—they were anyone who stood for freedom, truth, and human dignity. We must teach this to every generation, so that ‘never again’ is not just a slogan, but a sacred vow."

Tucker Carlson recently spoke favourably about Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro and appeared to downplay the massacre of Christians in Nigeria well it turns out... His featured “expert,” Robert Amsterdam - presented as someone “defending Christians around the world” - previously represented Nigerian politician Nasir El-Rufai, who has faced criticism for his response to Fulani militia violence against Christians AND was a paid lobbyist for Maduro’s government.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Tucker Carlson's "expert" on Nigerian Christians worked for a top defender of the Fulani Islamist militias killing Christians. The Tucker Carlson guest on Friday who slammed @tedcruz and declared that there is no campaign of targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria, lobbyist and PR flack Robert Amsterdam, had for years represented a leading Nigerian official closely associated with Fulani Islamists — including the very militias that have been slaughtering Christians in Nigeria. Robert Amsterdam, feted by Carlson as "defending Christians around the world," represented Nasir El-Rufai, who from 2015 to 2023 was the governor of the northern Nigerian state of Kaduna, home to the bulk of Fulani Islamist militias that have slaughtered thousands of Christians. While serving as Kaduna's governor, El-Rufai directed substantial payments to those very same Fulani Islamists (by his own admission), and he ordered numerous crackdowns that reportedly resulted in the murders of more than 100 Christians. El-Rufai has also contributed to the ongoing vilification and demonization of Nigeria's Christians, such as claiming in 2014 that Christians "sponsor[ed]" Boko Haram with the "motive of... tarnish[ing] the name of Islam." (Receipts below.) In 2012, three years before becoming governor of Kaduna, El-Rufai tweeted a veiled threat to Nigerian soldiers attempting to thwart the murderous campaigns carried out by Fulani Islamists, "Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes." (Screenshot below.) Three years later, El-Rufai touted his endorsement from Fulani Islamists (a broader Muslim ethnic group in Nigeria whose leaders have supported implementation of Sharia law) when he successfully ran for governor. El-Rufai also reinstated the Religious Preaching Edict, which meant that all Christian pastors required prior approval from the Kaduna government before each sermon, otherwise they "will be liable to pay a fine, and may even be imprisoned," in El-Rufai's own words. Both Tucker and Amsterdam cited the latter's work on behalf of various Nigerian entities as the basis for his expertise to refute claims by Trump, Cruz and many others that Christians are being systematically murdered by Fulani Islamists. Although he didn't disclose in the Tucker Carlson interview his work for a leading defender of the Fulani Islamists, Amsterdam stated in 2018 on his website that he "has represented" El-Rufai, the "Governor of Kaduna State." Because Amsterdam never registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act for any Nigerian entity, the exact nature and duration is unknown. (Amsterdam could not be immediately reached for comment.) There is no record of Amsterdam ever representing, protecting, and/or defending persecuted Nigerian Christians, and his X profile does not show even a single post warning about the attacks carried out by Fulani Islamists. Yet this is the man Tucker Carlson used to refute claims of Nigerian Christians being systematically slaughtered at the hands of Fulani Islamists.

"What Tucker and his guest Bob Amsterdam said about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria [...] is quite possibly worse than anything else he’s done recently." And, boy, is that saying something. Just when you think he's hit rock bottom...
What Tucker and his guest Bob Amsterdam said about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, suggesting it was tribal, that concern over it was coordinated by the Nigerian government, that it was a distraction from other places where persecution is happening, that it probably isn’t a genocide, that Ted Cruz has ulterior motives for his concern over it, is quite possibly worse than anything else he’s done recently. Tucker even prefaces with “I don’t know” before launching into careless talk about the matter being used in some sort of conspiracy. It’s irresponsible. Your Christian brothers and sisters are being genocided by Bokr Haram. Go to truthnigeria.com.

The US gov't has been non-functional for years. There is no bipartisanship. Nothing about serving country. It is all power, money, and yes, revolution on the left. And it couldn't just keep rolling along forever. The momentum is coming to an end. Fundamental degradation of the republic is right around the corner. See that purple haired woman screaming in the camera? She will have real power soon because the left will sell everything, including your freedom, liberties, and family, to keep their riches and authority. Sorry for the negativity, but when you realize that those in power have no real commitment to transcendent values that ground our system, well, just have to be real.
He asked for it... 😂

If you're out there blaming Israel, have you considered who actually benefits from that criticism? USA? No. Israel? No. Qatar? Yes. Iran? Yes. China? Yes. Russia? Yes. MAGA? No. BRICS? Yes. Might be propaganda. Just saying!

"And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people." - Romans 16:17-18

Ostracize.
BREAKING: Tucker Carlson says there is no persecution of Christians in Nigeria and attacks Ted Cruz for caring and claims the Trump Administration exaggerated the issue. Over 185,000 Christians have been murdered by Islamists in Nigeria since 2009 for their faith.

Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens should read Romans 15:8–11. Paul reminds us that Christ came first to confirm the promises made to Israel—and that the Gentiles are called to rejoice with His people. The covenant with Israel was never replaced; it was fulfilled. To dishonor the Jewish people is to reject the root that carries us all. @TuckerCarlson @RealCandaceO
