Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

For a guy who bloviates daily about Israeli intelligence capabilities and their use, one might think you actually know something about the subject. Well you don’t. Not a thing. Not even a whisper. If you did, you might appreciate the results Israel has achieved over the years to save the lives of American citizens, in exchange for absolutely no gain. It is regrettable that modern technology now permits hateful idiots like you to make such false claims.

@MegynKellyShow @megynkelly If only you hadn't laundered the conspiracy theories this post would be unnecessary. Why have political opinions when you can judt follow the clicks...

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

If Democrats want someone who hates capitalism, despises Trump, loves Nazi apologism, hugs America's enemies, has Cenk Uygur's endorsement, and cosplays as a blue collar working man even though he grew up silver spoon...Tucker Carlson does have a house in Maine.

No to the groypers.
No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash.
No to those who champion them. 
No to demoralization.
No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit.
No to anti-Americanism.
No.

@jacobkornbluh @giligetz Curious what he thought of the very last words of Neilah...

[JD Vance @JDVance]

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@Mike_Hunt_MAGA @KassyAkiva @TreyYingst Agreed! Genuine question...who do you think spends more on lobbying AIPAC or Qatar?

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@VivekRammaswamy @RealCandaceO @grok how much money does AIPAC spend annually on lobbying vs Qatar?

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

There’s a lot of attention being paid to the hostages, and rightfully so.

There’s a lot of attention being paid to the number of prisoners Israel is releasing.

There is zero attention being paid to the families whose lives these “Prisoners” ruined.

Let’s not forget who these people are. They are murderers who destroyed families.

This is my brother’s murderer. Pure evil.

My brother was grocery shopping. This monster came from behind and stabbed him in his neck.

Ari chased him down and shot him, injuring him as he was about to murder his next victim, a woman named Hila. Then Ari died.

And this is my brother’s son at his dad’s funeral.

These aren’t prisoners being released. These are monsters.

@OptimumHelp service is out. When can we expect it back?

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@lllliatttt @TheMuseSappho Question for you...how does a Jew emigrate to Israel (or Palestine as you clearly prefer to call it) and not be deemed a "colonizer"? Genuinely want to hear an answer on that. Or are you suggesting Jews are not welcome there?

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@pali15515 @SuhailAns @BluegrassRabbi @rafaelshimunov So prove him wrong. Are you looking for a peaceful Palestinian State alongside Israel where there is true and everlasting peace? Is said Palestinian State Democratic and led by politicians interested in peace and not killing Jews?

[Rabbi Efrem Goldberg @RabbiGoldberg]

Yesterday: “My commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel, and its right to exist as an independent Jewish people and Israel is ironclad, even when we disagree.”

Today: "if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities — that deal with that problem."

@POTUS - Your commitment is not ironclad if you withhold weapons that the Jewish people need to root out those who have attempted to exterminate them and who will try again.

Please reverse today's words and honor what you said yesterday.

On Sunday, May 5th, @AmericanAir Kicked an orthodox Jewish passenger off a flight due to the actions of an unrelated orthodox Jew.

This story was so outrageous I had to investigate, and after talking to the two passengers involved, the story seems even worse than I thought!

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@GovMurphy Ironic considering you have been completely silent about what is happening on campus at Rutgers. Actions speak louder than words. If you truly believe Never Again means never again then do something about it!

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@RUCSRR Is it possible that the culprits of said equation are the Pro Palestinian folks who are shouting, Go back to Poland Globalize the Intafada, and other terms that dehumanize Jews and their safety. I would think if you are Pro Palestinian this kind of rhetoric would be troubling

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Protester: *punches baby in the head*

Normal person: Hey, you can't just punch babies in the head

Protester: OK I think we can all agree that what's happening in Palestine right now is a LOT MORE IMPORTANT than this ONE BABY getting punched in the head

[Rob Haarburger @RobHaarburger]

@toddrichman @NYCMayor Thank you? It took the mayor of New York City HOURS to say "we don't like what is happening but can't do anything about it". What is wrong with us?
