So apparently, the Kentucky Governor election results are not done yet, because the vote results just went back down to this, I guess the vote counters made an error in counting votes, so there may be a chance that it may flip from blue to red.

Any self-proclaimed right wing org that counts noted gay rights activist and New Atheist James Lindsay among its members should immediately kill itself out of shame.

Neoconservatism has to be the biggest grift I've seen yet from our political establishment. It's not even for the best interest of the host country, you know, the country they're elected to represented for OUR interests. It's mainly a smoke screen to approve intervention foreign policies at the expense of taxpayer money. Every time we get involved in another country's affairs, we just end up making things worse with everybody involved.
I see why "nationalist" is a bad word nowadays. There's no incentive to make life better for the host country. We're just a middleman between shady interests and corrupt politicians. America First from Trump was intentional so that we can establish ourselves as a great nation with no strings attached. Not isolationism, but fairness so that we can offered our fair share.

So I shouldn't trust anything James O'Keefe has done then?

Define what you think I mean by "trust" in the post you quoted.
Because I certainly - and I thought obviously - didn't mean "if Tucker Carlson shows incontrovertible evidence that Biden smoked crack on his show, by virtue of it being on his show, then it should be treated as if it might've been doctored" or anything similar about any of these people.

Check some of his donors and figure out who is pulling the strings. It's generally good policy to figure out where the money is coming from.

Tucker, O'Keefe, Posobiec are fine, no one fucking cares about Riley Gaines and Gad Saad has shown to be a generic left coast judgmental faggot thinking white guys in the south are the real anti-semites instead of Mohammeds in NYC and Dearborn. I try and hedge my bets on Yeonmi Park because if her family did go through what she said in her book I'd feel ashamed, but her actions of marrying a generic white christian missionary guy, pop out a kid, then divorce him now that she's an American citizen reeks of asian grifting. A better person to listen to about living under asian communism is Lily Tang Williams.

Honestly the only thing shocking about that ad is that they had the self-awareness not to invite Bruce back into the limelight.

Interesting commentary I came across:
"The point is that there’s something unique about US geopolitics, and that of Western colonial states before it, in that they have these extremely aggressive characteristics - the impulse to subjugate and pillage others - that actually often harm their security rather than safeguard it. With the undue power the moneyed class has over the state in those systems of government. Which is hard to deny if one looks at things historically: for instance it is the East India Company that initiated the colonization and pillage of India, not the British state that only came afterwards to essentially pacify growing rebellion in India so as to perpetuate the ongoing pillage.
Or take a more recent example: the war in Iraq. It makes very little sense from an American security or survival perspective but it makes eminently good sense from a US oil company or economic hegemony perspective. Or again the current conflict in Gaza, which is extremely negative for American security as it generates busloads of hatred throughout the Muslim world against America and diverts American attention from more consequential geopolitical challenges. But it makes sense if you look at it from the standpoint of perpetrating a hegemonic system.
In other words, the point is that the key characteristic of the “rules-based international order” relates to the actual structure of the American (or British, French, Australian, etc) social and economic system, which seeks to enforce an order where the whole world is open to the penetration and control of their respective national moneyed classes. Which is why the order is about hegemony, and not about security, and why the former so often comes at the expense of the latter."

An interesting commentary, you say? What's so interesting about it? Who said it? Why did they say it? What relevance does it have to anything else?
Wait, what? You're just going to post a bunch of random text? Fuck reading that shit.
Never said he wasn't. It's generally good policy to figure out where the money is coming from.

I hate being "that guy" and especially given that I'm not exactly partial to the concept of jingoistic patriotism over a country that's been faker than a post-op tranny's tits for a century, but this outlines the backdrop as to why the U.S. got involved at all in the Pacific theater of WW2...
Meaning without that backdrop China would currently be either ruled by Hirohito's boys or the ROC. Not to say that this synopsis is correct - it isn't - but the core idea that the american government has had an imperialistic bent for a while now and that it's the impetus that drove our country away from isolationistic tendencies is, for the most part, broadly accurate.

Here's some interesting commentary for you. You're a CCP shill that only talks anti-American points as an attack for Western democracy and liberty to appease your Chinese overlords. For FREE I may add. You're not arguing in good faith; you're arguing as a tactic to 1-up somebody over the Internet.

It's pretty pathetic that the limp dick State Department facilitated talks between Israel and Hamas yet no Americans were part of the hostages released today. Americans first, this isn't hard to comprehend.

Commie agitprop is so boring

I think this comes from a fundamental difference in how you view the system(s) as an outsider to them.
The problem isn't money/capitalism, it's an inherent flaw in power, power dynamics, and large power structures.
