One of Trump’s biggest supporters is turning on him — loudly
One of President Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters is turning on him over his deal to end the Iran war.“I have asked for days, why can't we, the people, see the damn [memorandum of understanding]?” radio host Mark Levin, who traditionally supports the president, commented on Monday. “Not through people briefed by an anonymous person. Honestly, I've never seen anything like this. If it is a great outcome for peace, then release it.”In a separate post, Levin commented on how Trump has shifted in his characterization of America’s relationship with Israel.“In a period of two-months, Israel has gone from a great ally and partner in war, fighting by our side against a horrible enemy that has killed thousands of our people, killed tens of thousands of their own people, and was a dire nuclear threat intent on attacking us, to Israeli PM Netanyahu being a difficult person who should be thanking us for saving his country from Iran and should get our permission if he wants to defend his people from Hezbollah and Iran, and stand down when his country is attacked,” Levin wrote.He added, “And just yesterday, Israel's [prime minister] avenged the execution of 5 American soldiers by taking out a Hezbollah commander/terrorist. And only Israel has been killing Hezbollah leaders who murdered our Marines, soldiers, embassy staff, and more. It seems to me a kind word is in order. How does this make any sense?”Despite Trump attempting to convince Israel to no longer attack either Iran or Iran’s proxy militia in Lebanon, Hezbollah, the three parties continue to engage in hostilities against each other.“Iran has conditioned that deal on an end to the fighting in Lebanon between Israel and its militia ally, Hezbollah,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “Tehran upped the ante overnight by firing waves of missiles at Israel after Israel attacked Hezbollah’s stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Despite Trump’s effort to calm the growing tensions, Israel retaliated against targets in Iran including an important petrochemical facility, extending an exchange of fire that Iran warned could pull in energy facilities across the region.”Trump responded by posting on social media that Israel and Iran need to stop attacking each other, prompting both nations to cease their violence against each other while saying they may resume later. The president has been particularly focused on Israel, describing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “crazy” for attacking Lebanon and adding that “everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” He also claimed Netanyahu would have been in prison for corruption if not for Trump’s intervention.Since Netanyahu’s war against Gaza, American opinion has noticeably shifted toward Israel, with Netanyahu appearing unconcerned with the problem. Along with the increase in criticism of Israel, there has also been an increase in bigotry against Jews in general. Speaking with AlterNet in March about the issue of American anti-Semitism, Brandeis University historian Jonathan Sarna pointed out that people have often struggled to distinguish between criticizing the Israeli government and hating Jews in general.“If you go back to ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ — the great antisemitic forgery of the turn of the last century — that really began this sense that Jews are all-powerful, that they operate behind the scenes, and that whatever happens is ultimately their fault,” Sarna said. “Before then, for centuries, the prevailing view was that Jews were persecuted and lowly because they had killed Christ, and that was what they deserved — they were powerless. That was their punishment. But ‘The Protocols’ flipped that.”Sarna continued that “especially as Jews in modernity have begun to succeed economically, it doesn't much matter what the issue is — whether it is 9/11, which some blame on the Jews, or the crash of 2008, or now the war with Iran. You can predict before it happens that people will blame Jews, because as The Protocols taught people, it's always the Jews. It's the great conspiracy theory. And even many people who have never read The Protocols believe many of the things in it — just as many people have never read Darwin, but they know the word ‘evolution.’ This is simply the latest iteration.”Sarna ultimately concluded, “I can be critical of President Trump without being un-American. Most people who criticize President Trump or the Republicans would assure you how much they love America and hold a fundamentally positive view of it. It seems to me that it's deeply important for us to do the same with Israel — that is, to make clear that there is a huge difference between disliking the policies of the Prime Minister of Israel and hating Israel itself. If you wouldn't equate criticism of the President with hating America, there is no reason — and indeed it is wrong and wicked — to do so with regard to Israel.”

JD Vance distances from 'boneheaded' comment: 'One of the dumbest things I ever said'
Vice President JD Vance backed down on a "boneheaded" remark that came back to haunt him on the campaign trail in 2024.The vice president admitted to making a mistake by slandering Kamala Harris and other Democratic women as "childless cat ladies" during a 2021 appearance on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, according to his forthcoming memoir, “Communion,” reported NBC News.“One of the dumbest things I ever said came when I argued that ‘childless cat ladies’ across the Democrat Party were running our country into the ground,” Vance writes in the book, according to a copy obtained by the network. “The comment caused two firestorms: the first when I made it, the second years later during a political campaign. It was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating.”The comments came to light shortly after Donald Trump named him as running mate, but Vance refused to apologize or express regret for the partisan insult.“I have a lot of regrets,” Vance said at the time, “but making a joke three years ago is not at the top 10 of the list.”His about-face comes in a chapter in the book about meeting with Pope Francis before his death last year and covers his Christian views on immigration and abortion.“And that brings me to another lesson of the faith for Christian statesmen,” Vance wrote. “It’s okay to admit error.”Vance also discusses how the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who had been a close friend, was directly related to second lady Usha Vance's pregnancy.“As my wife held Charlie Kirk’s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie,” Vance wrote. “But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. One life was stolen from us, but another was given.”
