Much of Kent's beliefs from his stated/written position published in 2020 which was the same as President Trump's position of destroying their capability to produce fissionable Uranium for a nuclear bomb AND it's capability with delivery systems has taken a 180.
It is now thought that his new Wife, with her pro-Muslim and antisemitism beliefs has been THE influence on him going off the deep end.

Joe Kent was a frigging crank well before he set foot in the political theatre. The Trump movement never should have embraced people like him or MTG or whatever other crazies the dog drug in. It's not his "new wife" that made his beliefs intolerable, they were always intolerable. Separately, there's massive evidence that he's played footsie with a myriad of white nationalist influencers going back to the time he first showed up in politics (which is why he lost NOT ONE BUT TWO races in a Congressional District Trump won in both 2020 and 2024).

He departed from the Administration (presuming it wasn't because of an actual investigation) because he knows his political career is limited but that there's a lot of money in being an anti-Semitic fringe "right wing" influencer or podcast host or personality or whatever. Just ask Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. There was a certain person who warned you all about these types of people long ago.

You forgot the "Spanish Flu" that struck world wide and killed millions more than died in the trenches of Eastern and Western Europe.

It arrived around 1918 and perfectly healthy people were dead in 2 weeks.

This memory was the major reason for Covid fears.
I just looked up Spanish flu (politically incorrect name) and the estimated death toll was 50 million worldwide from 1918-20. It started during the end of WW1 and spread rapidly among the troops and elsewhere. What is interesting is the age group hit hardest was 20-40 yr olds. Something about the immune response to the virus. It died out as people got immunity and the virus mutated to a less deadly form.

I had no idea who Kent was until he posted on X and lined up his interview with Carlson.

Trump makes mistakes on people, but yet we all do and administrations are large. I am sure there are other bad ones here and there that should go.

Carlson, Owens and several others never really grabbed my attention enough to dive into their beliefs. I have been very loyal B O'Reilly for 20+ years. I don't always align with his thoughts, but feel he is well researched with a firm grip on history.

LOL. Democrats are losers. Their solutions create more problems.


I saw this a few days ago and looked it up. McCormick Place is among the largest convention spaces in the country and is centrally located, so Chicago has been a major player in attracting conventions. As strange as it may be, the hotels are partially behind this tax as no one except convention visitors really wants to visit downtown Chicago. The tax is an added 1.5% for hotel visits but it is "voluntary". The hope is it helps them compete in the "marketing" business to get the conventions booked.

Sadly Chicago has become a cesspool under the Democrats so the convention business, which already is declining because of cost and tech alternatives, will tail off even more. I grew up outside Chicago and visited all the major attractions. Nothing sounds worth traveling there and staying overnight in an expensive hotel and dealing with Chicago. Nothing.

Check his published beliefs in tune with current and 1990;s Trump beliefs.

They are the same, not till he was told by his new Wife has he turned 180.

My middle Sister sold her apartment in the Hancock Building and is quite happy in Saint Francisville Parish in La. (North of Baton Rouge).
