We’ve seen this before. There was an upload error when (Bill/Scott) posted the latest R/A.
Considering that there is a shiny new website in the works, let’s not make a big fuss.
Comment here until the glitch gets fixed. If no fix, deal. Post anyway.

I cast my first presidential vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980, and have never voted for a Democrat, and I don’t have any intention of starting any time soon.
I voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Trump previously was critical of NATO. Then Putin invaded Ukraine, and Trump advocated and continues to advocate abandoning Ukraine and possibly even NATO. He has said if Russia invades Europe he would abandon Europe and NATO. His isolationism disqualifies him on its own merits. I don’t really think that he is seriously considering Tucker Freaking Carlson, whose take on Ukraine is not only wrong, but parrots Russian Propaganda talking points. In fact Carlson is regularly featured on Russia’s propaganda television, along with Trump’s military adviser Douglas Macgregor, who has consistently been a source of pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine disinformation, and who is also featured daily in Russian propaganda.
I’m not a foreign policy wonk or a military analyst, but I flew recon missions against the Soviet Union for 11 years during the Cold War, lived in Russia where I served as a missionary after the collapse of the USSR, and spent time in Ukraine and Belarus. Trump’s position is terrible on Ukraine, and Carlson is worse.
My wife and my in-laws are from Poland. If the US abandons Ukraine today, we will have to face an emboldened and re-invigorated Putin in the Baltic Republics and Poland in a couple of years. This would be the result of Trump’s Ukraine policy. Basically WWIII with the US on the sidelines because of Trumpian isolationism.
I will close with this quotation from Ronald Reagan, delivered on June 6, 1984 at Normandy:
“We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We’ve learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.”
Anyone considering voting for Trump and his isolationism would do well to review Reagan’s entire speech of that day. Trump is as far from Reagan as is possible, and his isolationism would be disastrous for the US and for freedom and democracy.

I agree with every single word you said and bravo to you, sir. I cannot imagine what has gotten into people calling themselves Republicans and Conservatives that they have come to favor the bad guys over the good guys. It takes either a sublime degree of ignorance or some very contortionist mental gymnastics to get there.
You may not be a foreign policy wonk but you appear to be much closer to that than Tucker Carlson. I like Tucker Carlson’s fight with cultural Marxism, he should keep doing what he’s good at. Because he stinks like a dead fish rotting in the sun when it comes to strategic policy.
There are nine routes of approach to Russia across Europe. Those opened up when the Soviet Union collapsed as former nations regained their independence and got the Iron Boot off their necks. Putin has said that he intends to close them all. The only way he can do that is to take them away from their rightful owners. Give him one, like Ukraine, and he’ll just proceed to the next one. If you want a much bigger war, appeasement and isolationism is how you get it. History has spoken loud and clear on this topic.
But thankfully it retained that annoying undiasableable element from Rumble of autolaunching somebody’s live stream
True, but if you click the ‘cancel’ option in time, you don’t have to experience that.
I just F5 the page after to get back to the thumbnail anyway.
Love the new look and hope to be able to easily comment in the future iteration of the site.
Months ago I thought Ramaswamy would be the obvious “Tucker-esque” V.P. choice because, at the time, I thought he articulated the conservative cause well. He’s since gone on to beclown himself seeking click-bait moments in the debates. Certainly true that Pence was the right choice last time because he was such a solid (and uncharacteristic for Trump) not-splashy backstop who’d stay in the shadows and reassure the timid voters.
With every election now a referendum on Americans continuing to be able to kill babies in the womb, please God forgive us, Nicky Haley might be the current best choice because she at least hints that compromise is a possibility and infanticide can continue to be an option for those who don’t realize sex has consequences.
I gather that the primaries will be a “hold your nose and vote for one” exercise hoping that whatever (R) candidate we end up with can have their worst impulses countered by whatever Cabinet they are able to build and which ever speaker is paired with them. Haley seems to be in the social media stupid camp, Vivek is off on his own train, Desantis cannot promote himself (or at least his policy successes) they way he needs and no one else is getting traction yet… probably being leached by consultants of any cash they do raise.
