"Globalization" has been a buzzword for many years. But there are two types, and the distinction is extremely important. There's the globalization of America's founding, as laid out by Thomas Jefferson: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none."

And then there's the modern globalization laid out by Paul Wolfowitz after the Cold War, known as the "Wolfowitz Doctrine." This globalization seeks a permanent American global hegemony to prevent the rise of any rival power that can block America's unilateral action.

Jefferson had it right, and America prospered. The neocons have been wrong, and America has suffered.

Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:

Republicans in Washington always pretend to be fiscal conservatives, but they love big government.

Trump just signed a package of spending increases relative to Biden’s last spending levels.

Even worse, these GOP frauds funded programs they had previously blasted as fraudulent.

George W. Bush’s time — endless wars, unpaid debts, decadent housing-driven financial crisis — was the great, Boomer administration. But, on his worst day, Trump seems keen on giving him a run for his money

And when we vote against this minibus containing the $5 billion refugee welfare program, some will say “why aren’t you supporting the President?!”

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

Tonight, the Uniparty rejected my amendment to defund NED.

81 ‘republicans’ voted with democrats to fund this rogue organization that fuels global censorship and domestic propaganda.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

When I tried to codify the DOGE cuts in foreign aid, some Republicans supported the effort. Some did not.

The amendment would have reduced foreign aid by $16 billion to support what @elonmusk's team proposed. Here is how Senators voted.

[Tom Woods @ThomasEWoods]

Massie gets called "a true hater of Israel," because of course what matters when you elect an American congressman is his opinion of other countries

And of course there's no "hate"; Massie simply thinks America First means America First

[Harry Robinson @HarryLotusEater]

So MAGA is just openly a neocon movement now?

Have we really not learned our lesson yet? We create chaos in Venezuela and then it’ll be another border crisis. Why are we doing this?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Republicans campaigned on reducing spending, but after the election almost all Congressmen voted to spend hundreds of billions more in 2025 and 2026 than in 2024.

“Thanks to President Trump for removing the tariffs President Trump placed on these agricultural products. This is what winning looks like.”

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

When Tucker had his prime-time Fox show from 2016-23 -- the highest-rated ever -- virtually no prominent conservative ever uttered a peep of public criticism.

Even when Fox fired him, some GOP legislators ran to Politico to celebrate his firing because they said he made it harder for them to fund Ukraine. But even then, when cheering Tucker's firing, they cowardly hid behind anonymity - knowing their conservative base loved Tucker.

The only difference between then and now is Oct. 7. After that, Biden and Trump both gave Israel unlimited billions, arms and military protection for Israel's repulsive crimes in Gaza. The US isolated itself from the world to protect Israel. We imposed censorship practices in the US to protect Israel. The US deployed its own military to protect them and fought for Israel. Politicians went there more than their own districts.

All that caused many people -- including Tucker and other influential conservatives -- to publicly focus on Israel and US devotion to it for the first time. They began objecting to US subservience to Israel and Israel's monstrous behavior itself, as well as the extreme influence of Israel in domestic US politics (all of which was long known to many who have studied Israel well before 2023, but huge numbers only looked the first time in the last couple years).

The intense campaign to destroy Tucker and others like him (MTG, Massie, even Candace: who had been universally beloved in conservatism before Oct 7) is driven almost exclusively by Israel. Israel supporters finally realize that they lost a generation or more of conservatives who will never unsee what they saw. They see the unravelling poll numbers and are panicking.

Expelling Tucker from the conservative movement isn't about reversing that trend. They can't. It's about setting an example for what will happen to other conservatives in the future who think about questioning or objecting to US devotion to this foreign country.

[Harrison Berger @BergerPosts]

Remember, Rand Paul tried in 2023 to pass an amendment to the NDAA requiring a full accounting of all Ukraine aid in order to avoid the sorts of graft and corruption that always accompanies multibillion dollar war spending

Most GOP joined with every single Democrat in the Senate to block Paul’s amendment.

If there is embezzlement and fraud in the Ukraine proxy war pipeline, it’s because the Uniparty intended for it to be that way:

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

Love or hate Israel, as an American you should find this deeply insulting

You're sending billions of dollars a year to a foreign leader who openly brags about his plan to influence politics in your country

You are paying him to violate American sovereignty

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

A couple of months ago I told Charlie Kirk’s audience, to their faces, that if they support Israel’s destruction of Gaza, they can never again call themselves pro life without being the biggest hypocrites in the world.

To the pro Palestine leftists: if you are celebrating a father being murdered in front of his two innocent small children, don’t even tell anyone again that your heart bleeds for the Palestinians. No one believes you. You are not motivated by compassion for children.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

A lot of people defending Trump bombing Iran would’ve just as passionately defended him *not* bombing if he’d called for restraint instead. We'd be hearing he’s the most peace-loving president in history. So many people's principles start & end with loyalty to one man.

[System Update @systemupdate_]

The U.S. has never truly cared about liberating women or bringing "democracy" to Middle Eastern countries like Iran. In fact, the U.S. is happy to ally with repressive countries like Saudi Arabia as long as they serve U.S. interests.

@ggreenwald on the push for war with Iran:

[System Update @systemupdate_]

In 2016, Trump called the Iraq War a "big fat mistake" during a debate exchange with Jeb Bush. Now, he is prepared to go to war with Iran over similar false pretenses after listening to the same warmongers from the Bush era.
