Candace, let us say for the sake of argument that everything you allege about Israel, Zionists, and Jews is true. All you have proven is that a tiny country, surrounded by enemies sworn to destroy it, will do whatever it must to survive. Israel knows how deep that hatred runs, not just toward Jews, but toward anyone outside that ideology, including you and the rest of the Western world. By attacking them in the name of protecting the innocent, you are ensuring more, not fewer, innocent women and children die, and you are helping the very forces that would strip you of the freedoms you take for granted. History shows that those who feed such hatred are never spared by it.
As for Brigitte Macron, at this point, nobody cares if she is transgender or not. Harping on it does not make you brave; it makes you seem mean and petty.
What originally drew me to your podcast was your passion and perspective. But as your popularity has grown, you have begun using your platform to present questionable or outright false claims as facts, connecting dots that often have nothing to do with each other. You claim to reject fake news, yet you do exactly what you condemn, pushing a narrative you want to be true, cherry picking obscure sources, and ignoring the overwhelming consensus of history. While most of us forget where we parked our car at the mall, you speak as if you alone know the motives of people from centuries past, while showing what feels like missing empathy and missing common sense. Please rethink your approach. I want the old Candace back.
@elonmusk A lot of unhoused people go to the Midnight Mission soup kitchen in downtown Los Angeles for one to three meals each day. This well run organization provides food for over 1000 individuals daily. That might be a good place to start.
It seems nearly impossible to audit election results in a way that would uncover certain types of fraud. The issue is not whether the number of ballots received matches the reported results. Most audits are designed to confirm that the ballots counted correspond to the totals reported by election officials.
The more important question is whether ballots were received, voted, and counted that should never have been in the system in the first place.
For example, in my household, two out of four mail ballots never arrived. We had to request replacement ballots and submit them in person. According to the “Where’s My Ballot?” website, the original ballots had been mailed, but we never received them. That raises an important question: What happened to those ballots?
Once a ballot is separated from its return envelope, there is generally no way to connect that ballot to a specific voter. This is done to preserve voter anonymity, but it also means that if a ballot were intercepted, completed by someone else, and returned, it would be difficult—if not impossible—to identify later.
Perhaps future election systems should consider ways to improve accountability while still protecting voter privacy. As it stands, once the envelope and ballot are separated, there is no practical way to determine where a particular ballot originated.
When audits are conducted, they typically verify that the ballots received and counted match the election results that were reported. However, that is not the question I am raising. The real question is whether any ballots were voted, submitted, received, and counted that should not have been and whether there is any reliable way to detect that after the fact.
Thank you for educating us. You, as a former Muslim and religious scholar, stand alone in your brutal honesty and courage. America needs your voice. And one man can make a difference.
I appreciate your insights, largely because of my own lack of exposure to Islam, intellectual curiosity and desire to better understand the issues. After 9/11, I struggled to find public voices within Islam that clearly condemned the attacks. Whether that perception was accurate or not, it left a lasting impression on me. How could any peaceful religion be ok with what was done in the name of that religion?
It also seems that like me, many non-Muslim Americans have a limited understanding of Islam, its history, and the directives in the Koran. Much of what we learn comes through media, educational institutions, political narratives, and social movements, all of which simplify complex realities and/or completely mislead us as to the true nature of this ideology.
Over the past two decades, many Americans have been encouraged to view Islam as a peaceful religion while also being exposed to narratives that portray Israel as the primary aggressor in the Middle East. Whether one agrees with those perspectives or not, they have become increasingly influential, particularly among younger generations. In fact, many promoting these views are not Muslim themselves.
At the same time, I think there has often been a reluctance to openly discuss difficult questions about Islamic extremism, political Islam, cultural integration, women’s rights, religious freedom, and the treatment of minorities in Muslim-majority countries. Not infrequently, it seems people who raise those concerns are marginalized, dismissed, or labeled unfairly, which only deepens polarization.
I do not believe most Muslims are extremists, nor do I believe that millions of ordinary Muslims share the goals of terrorist organizations. However, I do think it is legitimate to ask hard questions about the true tenets of Islam when it appears to conflict with liberal democratic values.
No one wants innocent people to suffer or die. My concern is not with individual Muslims but with ideas and movements that may undermine the principles of free speech, equality before the law, religious liberty, and our way of life. Those issues need to be openly discussed, rather than censored, before it’s too late.
@LauraLoomer@SecRubio Agreed! He has a remarkable ability to bring people together through his calm demeanor and genuine nature. He’s incredibly humble, communicates his positions with clarity, and is respected by people across different perspectives.
@NimaYamini Do you have a sense as to what percentage of your loyal followers are Ashkenazi? May be a lot more than you know. Obviously many people value your insights. Stay the course.
@JackPosobiec A much-needed ally in the Middle East. Unlike the regime or the IRGC, the Iranian people support MAGA. Freeing the Iranian people could give MAGA an ally in the Middle East like never before.
