Exclusive War with Iran starting this week (3 Viewers)

[Sheldon Shape]

The Israelis are certainly taking advantage of the war, but I'd say from the White House's view this war was for Trump, plain and simple. Distract from the Epstein file mess and hoping a big win against Iran would rally support for the midterm elections. Oopsie on both accounts.

My guy, this is unequivocally for Israel. Before Bibi got wiped out, he said he's been wishing for this war for 40 years. He went to our Congress in the 90's and explained they web must attack Iran along with the 6 other countries he listed. Don't let the corporate media tell you otherwise. I even saw Rachel Maddow blame Qatar for this war.

Y'all gotta turn off the CNN, MSNBC and Fox. There's no difference between them when it comes to war for Israel.

Biggest winner is Russia.

Joe Kent
, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has faced accusations of antisemitism primarily due to his March 2026 resignation letter and a history of associating with white nationalist figures.

1. Resignation Letter (March 2026)
On March 17, 2026, Kent resigned from the Trump administration in protest of the U.S. war with Iran. His resignation letter contained several statements widely condemned as antisemitic conspiracy theories:

• Blaming Israel for U.S. Wars: He claimed the war with Iran was not in America's interest but was started "due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
• "Manufactured" Conflicts: He alleged that the Iraq War was similarly "manufactured by Israel" and that Israeli officials used "deception" to draw the U.S. into conflict.
• Personal Blame: Kent blamed Israel for the death of his wife, Shannon Kent, a Navy cryptologist killed by ISIS in Syria in 2019. He wrote that she died in a "war manufactured by Israel," despite her death occurring during anti-ISIS operations.
• Media Control Tropes: He accused "influential members of the American media" of working in an "echo chamber" with Israeli officials to deceive the President, a common trope regarding Jewish control of the media.

2. Associations with Extremists
During his congressional campaigns (2022, 2024), Kent faced scrutiny for his ties to known white nationalists and antisemitic figures:

• Nick Fuentes: Kent admitted to holding a strategy call with
  Nick Fuentes
  , a prominent white nationalist and Holocaust denier. While Kent later disavowed Fuentes, he initially defended him on social media.
• Greyson Arnold: Kent gave an interview to
  Greyson Arnold
  , a "Groyper" influencer and neo-Nazi sympathizer who has described Adolf Hitler as a "complicated historical figure."
• Proud Boys: His campaign paid a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, as a consultant.

3. Condemnations

• Anti-Defamation League (ADL): The ADL stated Kent has a "history of antisemitism and extremism" and that his letter utilized "antisemitic tropes."
• Lawmakers: Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers criticized the letter. Rep.
  Josh Gottheimer
  (D-NJ) called the letter "deeply antisemitic," while Rep.
  Don Bacon
  (R-NE) accused Kent of "scapegoating Israel."

Can someone be racist and a patriot?

IMO, no. It goes against the principles this country was founded on, and we have struggled to implement fairly.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

A racist would not believe that. Therefore, they are not a patriot for this country.

All those things were known about Kent when Senate Republicans voted to confirm him.

Trump doesn’t do anything unless he figures it benefits him. Sure, he’s played up his pro-Israel line, but if he sees it’s a net negative in the polls, he’ll dump them like yesterday’s fish guts.
