re: What’s with all the feuding between conservatives?
Posted by ludawg on 9/18/25 at 9:27 pm to cajuntiger1010
Israel is the primary wedge. Charlie Kirk was a staunch supporter of Israel but over the past year or so was getting increasingly irritated at pro Israel supporters calling his "moral character into question" (his exact words in the August 6th video Megyn Kelly/Charlie Kirk video linked below) if he entertained speculation that Epstein had Mossad connections, pointed at that they were losing support in the younger demographic or in any way did not 100% unquestioningly support Israel.
Israel Firsters like Levin and Shapiro were angry that Charlie platformed Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly (who also are increasingly questioning some things about Israel) at his Turning Point USA SAS weekend conference in July with Shapiro and Levin referencing the event on Levin's Sept 6 show and Shapiro stating that Charlie should no longer be the "preacher at the front of the church."
Since the Megyn/Kirk conversation on August 6th and recent random reports that Charlie Kirk had become fearful of the intensity of the behind the scenes pro-Israel condemnation and coercion, conservatives not enamored with Israel began fueling online rumors that Israel had something to do with the assassination. In recent days, Candace and Tucker have corroborated reports that Kirk had been under intense pressure from powerful people including Bill Ackman and even Netanyahu. Tucker has in no way implied that he thinks Israel had anything to do with Charlie's death. I haven't watched Candace so don't know whether she did or not. Both, however, are upset at the level of pressure he was under recently.
Netanyahu didn't do himself any favors trying to immediately leverage good PR for Israel from Kirk's death and in a weird move, went on Harris Faulkner's and Greta van Susteren's shows saying there was no truth to the internet speculation that Israel had anything to do with Kirk's death ...would've been much wiser to have ignored the rumors imo. It's unprecedented following an assassination for a prime minister of a nation to rush to say "We didn't do it." and only poured fuel on the internet flames.
It also doesn't help Israel's cause that any American conservative who has begun to question anything at all about Israel are quickly labeled by its staunchest defenders as anti-Semites, pro-Hamas or kooks (Shapiro's favorite public label).
Further stirring the pot is that Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes are next level anti-Israel and also happen to hate each other.
LINK to the August 6th Megyn Kelly Show interview with Charlie in which he's obviously upset at the personal attacks behind the scenes from Israel first folks. If you want to skip all the back and forth that's going on and hear Charlie's own words, this is the video to watch.

Excerpts from the August 6th Megyn Kelly interview. Copied and pasted from youtube's transcript. He was talking fast so it's kind of messy.
Interview LINK
11:43 Megyn: I am sick of being lectured on like you have to see it exactly as we see it and support everything or you're against us.
11:53 Charlie: So this is so important, Megan. And again, I don't want not every you cannot say every one of the pro-Israel and I don't say acts that way, but I I got texts about you, Megan, saying, "Why is Megan like doing the bidding of Hamas?" I was like, "What are you talking about? Megan's the best."
12:15 … And so this is what they don't understand. You and I, Megan, and Tucker is in the same category and they've tried to go after Tucker. Yeah. is that the the more you attack our moral character, actually the more we're going to double down into that direction because screw you. I don't do it that way. Okay? Right? Like when tell me I'm wrong. Cool. Tell me if I've got my facts wrong.
12:58…If I have any deviation of a purity test, any deviation whatsoever, such as hosting a focus group, right, Megyn, with a bunch of our students that went viral, having Dave Smith or Tucker at my event it is all of a sudden, oh, Charlie is uh he's he's no longer with us and all that. I said, wait a second. What do you mean? What does with us mean exactly?
13:30 But Megyn, I think you would agree with this. I want to make sure we like really zero in on this personality types like you, myself, and Tucker. The more that you guys privately and publicly call our character into question, which is not isolated, right, Megyn? It would be one thing if it was one text or two text. It is dozens of texts. Then we start to say, "Hold the boat here." And and to be fair, some of my really good Jewish friends are like,"That's not all of us. ...But these are leaders, too, though, right? These are these are stakeholders, right? And so, look, I I'm I'm afraid because, again, I want civilization to win. I want the West to win. I don't want the Islamofascist barbarians to storm the gates of Jerusalem. I want the Holy sites protected. I believe in the Holy Land… I I feel the connection to Israel and I but at the same time simultaneously when the hostile reaction is that now Megan and Charlie are enemies boy I'll tell you like you're you're you're going to you're not going to I won't say lose [the support of] but you will weaken and just basically deflate two of your strongest advocates if that continues.
re: Not saying Israel involved in Kirk killing. He was a big supporter having second thoughts

Charlie wasn't having second thoughts about America's alliance with Israel nor for his biblically rooted belief in Israel as the Jewish homeland.
He was, in recent months, getting pretty pissed off at the reaction he was getting if he questioned an Epstein Israeli connection, hosted people who also think this such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly at Turning Point's June Tampa conference.
August 6 discussion on Megyn Kelly's show:

ETA: I do not at all think Israel had anything to do with Charlie's death.

Not Shapiro though he's stated he wants to pick up "the bloody microphone."
Charlie's message was rooted in his Christian faith and Shapiro isn't a Christian.
Shapiro really wants this though, partly because Charlie was beginning to question the possibility of an Epstein Israeli connection and also the blowback against conservatives who express any concerns regarding the influence of Israel on US foreign policy.
There are conspiracy theories that are ludicrous trying to link Israel to Charlie's death. No way do I believe this but in the past few months, he expressed frustration including in a recent Megyn Kelly appearance that though he was still a stanch defender of Israel, he was getting slammed online and also privately if he slightly questioned or gave platform to people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn who also have concerns about Israeli overreach and an Epstein connection.

Levin and Shapiro's Sept 6 discussion expressing disdain for conservatives who question anything about Israel in which they never called Charlie by name but were clearly were lumping him into their criticism in their references to events for young people.

The portal is why I'm no longer in front of the TV. I've gone from watching 80% plus SEC games to maybe two or three a season because I enjoyed watching players develop as a team through their years playing together. The portal ruins that.

Check other SEC individual school message boards and read back several years. No fans in the SEC were happy with the announcement y'all were joining up. No one ever will be. Your fans are obnoxious and you don't fit SEC culture.

Sigh. Yes. Even badass special forces guys.
The TAMU folks look more social club than gay though it's said about them on a lot on message boards. Kudos to the students who accept their commission and actually do serve in the military regardless of sexual orientation.

I saw a shot of a group of TAMU ‘cadets’ during the game last night. Looked like a bunch of pasty white pussy nerds that wouldn’t know the business end of an M4 from a pumpkin spice latte.
Some do look goofy, but the ones that stay with it all four years do get offered a commission and props to those that go on to serve. Never meant to imply that finishing it out isn't an accomplishment with an excellent opportunity for service. Maybe the goofy looking ones are the ones who sign up for the social aspect.

1. There are only three schools that aren't capped by federal law in the number of commissions they can grant. Those are the academies and even they are capped by class size.
2. Each ROTC program is given an allocation of how many total commissions they can grant as a portion of the total year group. It's not legally possible for every cadet in a class group to commission.
Thanks. Good info. Which two of the five service academies are capped?
Percentage of TAMU cadets that serve in the military?

There's a linked citation in the Wikipedia entry for United States Senior Military Colleges that states 220 cadets were commissioned in 2018. Cadet corp annually is over 2,000 so the numbers don't look that good.
The URL of the link cited is LINK ...but... TAMU has taken it down.
Now there's no info about numbers available on the school site ...just a message to contact the Office of the Commandant for more info on the school military commission link. LINK
I get that they commission more officers than any other non service academy, but that's only because they have a much larger student body overall than the other senior military academies.
From the numbers above, it looks more like a cheer/social club than a serious path to military service. Probably are taught some good life skills and have the option to accept a commission, but it looks like most do not.
Would like to know figures with documentation if anyone has the info.

Again...believing a long term side effect will occur is silly based on the known science.
The 'known' science is that all mRNA therapeutics studied pre Covid19 vaccines have failed long-term clinical trials.
"Long-term" in medical research refers to occurrences over a span of yearS plural; we are barely at a year. Denigrating healthy, well-educated people who have reservations about an emergency approved vaccine based on technology that has never yet passed regular clinical trials by attributing imaginary lifestyle practices to them does nothing to strengthen your argument but does show its weakness.
