Below are a couple of posts of interest to me at least, hope you enjoy them. Both are accredited, and also a repost from Amir Tsarfati. Hormuz must be stabilized to keep the objectives of this military action on track. Extremely high gas prices are most likely the only thing that will derail final and completed objectives. The MIddle East is changing and so also the world pecking order. America is back in dominance, as it should be. God Bless America, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Living in truly “Prophetic Times”. Rh
Tucker Carlson’s Failure — Trump’s Knockout
Various interesting polls point to a clear trend:
A. There is no “split” within the MAGA camp — on the contrary, there is an almost Soviet-level consensus around Trump and his decision to strike Iran.
B. The war in Iran is not hurting Republicans ahead of the midterm elections — it is actually strengthening them.
Here are the data (to be detailed in follow-up posts):
1. NBC poll: One hundred percent support among MAGA supporters for Trump. Yes — 100%. This figure was also echoed by CNN.
In other words, two networks highly hostile to Trump present a president who has complete control over his base.
The share of people identifying with MAGA has also grown since the election.
2. Republican poll (New York Post): Who do you identify with — Trump or Carlson and Megyn Kelly?
The result is decisive: Trump 84%, Carlson and Kelly 6%.
It turns out that clicks and Spotify listens do not necessarily translate into real influence among the public.
Ironically, a phenomenon similar to traditional media in recent years is emerging: a loud and vocal minority holds the microphone and claims to speak for a silent majority that actually rejects it.
This frustration is causing Tucker and his circle to lose composure and drift away from the MAGA “mothership” toward the more fringe territories of the far left and pro-jihadist narratives.
The current investigation into Kent’s leaks to Carlson may become the official break between Carlson and the Republican Party.
3. YouGov–Economist poll on the November midterms (the most important issue in U.S. politics):
Since the start of the war, Republicans have narrowed the gap with Democrats in the race for control of the House — from a 7-point Democratic lead in mid-February to just 2 points in mid-March.
Earlier this month, I referenced a Harvard/Harris poll conducted before the war that showed a tie.
Democrats still lead in betting markets and most polls, but the trend is favorable for Republicans.
As noted recently, Republicans have only upside potential — historically, since World War II, only once has a second-term president managed to keep his party’s majority in the House (Clinton and the Democrats in 1998).
If Trump becomes the second, it would be a phenomenal achievement for him and the Republican Party.
4. Finally (not a poll): The major unknown is Vice President J.D. Vance, who is closely tied to Carlson and issued a very lukewarm statement regarding Kent’s resignation.
His public profile during the current war with Iran has been relatively low, and it is not at all certain that he supports the campaign.
Recently, he has lost some ground in the (so far quiet) race between him and Marco Rubio to become Trump’s successor for 2028.
It is far too early to write off Vance’s chances of becoming the Republican nominee in two and a half years, but his political trajectory will likely indicate the direction the Republican Party will take in the coming years.

Vance is the big loser for now, I just don’t trust him. He came late to the MAGA party. First time he voted republican was for himself in the Ohio senate race. Seems to be a carpetbagger and far too close to the woke right and the Anti-Israel sentiment. Rh
American retaliation – strategic shift
Financial Times reports a major U.S. pivot:
• Air-defense systems and ammunition redirected from Europe to the Middle East
• Focus shifting fully toward confrontation with Iran
On the ground
• Deliveries to Europe – especially Patriot interceptors – expected to be delayed
• Systems already moved from Europe to protect U.S. forces and allies in the region
• U.S. deprioritizing Russia–Ukraine track – signaling full attention on Iran
Europe reacts
• Anger and concern – described as a “disaster”
• Accelerating independence from U.S. arms supply
• France taking its own path – deploying forces to the region
Middle East implications
• Stronger U.S. deterrence posture
• Shortages creating competition for air-defense systems
• Rising risk of escalation with Iran
• Gulf states reassessing alliances
Bottom line
• The Middle East is now Washington’s top priority
• Europe is sidelined
• The global balance is shifting

Final thought, Europe may be the big loser, not supporting the US when they are far more dependent on oil than us. Typical, we save them and they turn their backs on us. Open borders and government overreach has defeated the once great British Empire, they should change their symbol from the lion to a kitty. France is just France, as long as they have their mistresses and their over priced wine, they are good. Rh
