An intriguing take on the Heritage Foundation kerfuffle.
...What are the main issues in play? The one that has gotten the most ink concerns the recent recrudescence of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment on the right. The two are not synonymous, as Kevin Roberts was at pains to point out in his initial video. But the phenomena overlap and nurture each other.
Another issue, and the one I wish to focus on here, is what I think of as the play behind the play in the attack on Kevin Roberts. John Daniel Davidson, writing in The Federalist, summed up the plot of that supervening play in the subhead to a recent column: “Genuine concern about antisemitism on the right is being hijacked by neocons to attack J. D. Vance in hopes of retaking control of the GOP.”
Bingo. In other words, two separate things can be true at once. I would add that it is not just J.D. Vance who is in the crosshairs but the entire MAGA, i.e., populist, agenda of Donald Trump. A long article published in The Wall Street Journal on November 7 epitomizes the point. “The Crack-Up at the Heritage Foundation,” runs its headline, “Is a Warning Sign for MAGA World.”...
Roberts is a good man, a very solid thinker, and hopelessly naive. He thought that a rational explanation and a careful apology for his remarks (along with firing the jackwad who wrote them for him) would be sufficient. In normal discourse, it is. As it turns out, he was wrong.
It has been noted in more than one place that JDVance is now walking around with that little laser-dot on his forehead, placed there by the NeoCons and the WSJ.
Good to know!!
We have adopted the view that there are still two parties, but their membership is composed of: 1) Lefty Socialist Communist populists, and 2) Righty populists (Trump-ists.) Since the Communists are also Totalitarians, the Muhammedans will fall in line with them.
Analyze words and actions using that crucible and you will see clearly.

There is a widening split between Trump’s America First supporters and the Republican Zionists, such as Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham.
And JD Vance is caught in the middle. Some say it didn’t help that he married outside of his race to a Hindu. Is he really a true Christian?
How do you justify supporting him, Dad29, given he has “brown kids”?
Now throw in the white nationalist/race realist crowd, who are MAGAheads. They say Jews/Israel is bad for America. But Trump is a diehard advocate for Jews/Israel, especially since he has a Zionist (Stephen Miller) advisor making policies for Trump.
So where does Dad29’s loyalty ultimately lie?
With Trump, who supports Israel, which directly interferes with the AmericaFirst agenda?
OR exclusively with the AmericaFirst agenda, which means disavowing Trump given his loyalty in supporting Israel.
Can’t have it both ways, Dad29. What is good for the Jews is not good for America. And what is good for America is not good for the Jews.
This is not my message, but the message by Fuentes AND Carlson. They say this isn’t anti-Semitic, it’s pro-American.
This is AmericaFirst in the raw. Support Israel? You are not AmericaFirst. Support America? No more Israel advocacy.
Fuentes and Carlson recognize Trump’s hypocrisy. Kirk was starting to. Will you, Dad29?
Greg, Jr.
Only a moron could have written that comment, Greg. That proves that morons exist. Too bad they also vote, eh?
Again, Dad29, where does your loyalty ultimately lie?
With Trump, who supports Israel, which directly interferes with the AmericaFirst agenda?
OR exclusively with the AmericaFirst agenda, which means disavowing Trump given his loyalty in supporting Israel.
