Just thinking, you could put together a curated daily summary post to cover popular culture in politics. The brevity and links of Awards Daily with the topics of Tucker, Biden, Trump and whatever.
Of course you have seen the weekly TGIF from the Free Press. Jeff Childers does a fantastic daily job of Coffee and Covid, also on Substack. And he has a full time job as a lawyer.
There is a gap, tailor made for your strong suit, catching the craziness in politics and culture, on a daily deadline. Then your longer pieces still come out after that.
I can tell that you already do all the research for such a publication. So this would not add that much more work to your day. Just reorganize it a bit.
You are a natural historian. You can write on a daily deadline. I’m begging you. I’ll be your first founding member.
Hey Sasha. Thank you for Turning Point Tucker Video.
Not sure what the problem is. Could be my phone. But both videos freeze at like the 10 minute mark.
Just a heads up incase it’s something on your end.
Thank You for all the work you do and share.
❤️
You guys .
Watch it.
You’ve got to watch the intro. They are blasting pyrotechnics like crazy and out comes Tucker like it’s the Super Bowl or a rock concert. It’s so funny. Tucker appears from a cloud of smoke. And he’s laughing.
I just got back from Amfest and had a great time. Tucker's speeches are always interesting because, unlike a lot of speakers, you never know quite what he is going to say. I also though Vivek gave a really strong speech. Whether you like him or not he is just much more articulate and seems to have a firmer grasp on the issues than most other politicians.
James Lyndsey also led a panel discussion with Chloe Cole about the trans madness that was just heart breaking to listen to.
Tucker has been extremely aggressive in complaining about Ukraine aid.
Another country is getting billions and weapons, and using the loot to support a campaign of terror bombing and genocide by starvation. Yesterday Human Rights Watch accused that country of using starvation as a weapon of war.
Did Carlson offer any opinion about United States complicity with a country using starvation "as a weapon of war" in Gaza?
It’s called a “siege” and has been used as “a weapon of war” in every war fought in human history.
When Hamas attacked from Gaza on 10/7 they knew that Israel would lay siege to the people of Gaza. This was what they wanted, obviously. The question is, why does Hamas hate its own people so much they would do this?
As far as the US funding of Israel is concerned, I think we should not fund Israel. They are a vibrant economic powerhouse and any funding they receive from us is obviously a form of us trying to exert control over Israel.
No kidding. It was used against the South during the Civil War. ("As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!" Not that Hollywood is a reliable source for history, but in this case, Hollywood was right.) Starvation was also used against Germany in WWI.
A problem is that metaphorical use of the phrase "under siege" has made many un-informed persons think that "siege" means "attack", when practically speaking "siege" means "not attack".
yes, I thought about adding something like "Would you prefer they saturation bomb Gaza from miles away killing hundreds of thousands? Thats the other option, but they (the Israelis) are not us.... (Saturation or carpet bombing is brutal and ...Which we did to Germany and Japan in WW2 for months at a time. Vietnam and our B-52 carpet bombing of Hanoi brought the VC to their knees in a matter of weeks.... These people have no idea what "war" means....Most recently we did it to Iraqi troops and supply lines in Gulf War 1 until when we finally crossed over to invade, the remaining live Iraqi troops surrendered without firing a shot)
Yet these people have the audacity to tell Israel not to hit back and defend themselves?? ...and that laying siege is a war crime but I guess saturation bombing is not???
Like I said, Hamas must really hate their own people to do this to them. Its not the Israelis, they have no choice, its the people of Gaza that will suffer because of the actions of Hamas and ultimately... Iran.
That was the other thing I was going to say. The Israelis have killed thousands of women and children in Gaza? Did we not do the same in Germany? Did we not do more or less the same thing (killing hundreds rather than thousands, back when artillery shells were the only means available) in the Confederacy? When Sherman started shelling Atlanta, the first person killed was a four-year old girl. Horrible, in isolation. But it does not exist in isolation. Yes, you are quite right to say "these people have no idea what 'war' means". I call many of them born-yesterday babies. I call all of them ignoramuses.
We killed hundreds of thousands of Germans in our (and the British) saturation bombing campaigns. Millions of Japanese.... We could have laid siege, but it would have taken too long and the Russians were not going to wait, so decisions were made, tough decisions. The kind that haunt people for the rest of their lives.
I grew up in Southern Virginia and am quite acquainted with the war between the states (its kind of the law there ;) There is no love lost for Sherman or Grant, but there is respect. They ended the war. Instead nowadays we think its "honorable" and "humane" to drag out conflicts for decades...its sick if you ask me.
Sun Tzu: "There is no long war that a country has benefited from". That is in part because war takes people out of production, reducing GDP, and in part because even the most incompetent enemies (in a word where our enemies are reliably more competent than we think they are) are able to inflict some damage on us. So the rule is go short or go home.
Ukraine is absolutely none of our business. This is Germany’s problem. Merkel started it with the insanity of solar panels and windmills that don’t work. Maybe Russia will invade Germany. So what? Still none of our business. Go ahead and eat your solar panels.
He’s absolutely on mark with his understanding to what this boils down to. Thank you.
Sasha, Thanks for posting. You are the best.

Awesome speech by Tucker and loved his responses to questions.

And the speech so far is great.
Worked on my phone.
On other videos my phone had problems that others did not.
And donlt get me started on Blue tooth.
Still a few bugs in the design
