I dislike Mark Levin immensely. Long-time CTH readers know I have a very valid reason to dislike Mark Levin immensely. My approach was to essentially ignore “old yeller” as he shouts and rants about all the things he always shouts and rants about. I dislike Mark Levin very much; beyond what most here would define as immense.
That said, I also accept that -for whatever reason he has- President Donald J Trump does not hold the same opinion of Mark Levin. In fact, Donald Trump seems to like Mark Levin. As a consequence, I retain my peace and ignore everything that circles around their time together. However, this is also an ¹opportunity.
Mr Levin’s audience has been shrinking quite fast. The downward spiral has been happening with greater speed and increasing slope for around 15 years. The diminutive Mr Levin is now a visual representation of the Black Knight Monty Pyton skit. If the name was raised, I quietly just stared in southern.
♦ Within the great podcaster war of 2026, apparently Mrs. Megyn Kelly and Mr Mark Levin have been having a very public feud. I don’t know the details but given the reality of the past 12 months it probably surrounds Mr Levin’s Israel-First approach toward everything political. In the latest drama du jour, Mrs Kelly is said to have mentioned that Mr Levin has a small penis, a “micropenis.”
Mr Levin apparently picked up the phone and called his loyal friend, President Donald Trump. Likely looking for an ally of considerable consequence to boost his member-ship status. After all, Levin’s circle of influence is rather, well, small and shrinking.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Mark Levin, a truly Great American Patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country. Mark is Tough, Strong, and Brilliant, hence the nickname, “THE GREAT ONE,” conceived by our MAGA friend, the wonderful Sean Hannity, after years of dealing with Mark in Legal, Media, and other capacities. Mark would often do Sean’s show, speaking as a lawyer, and Sean realized then, as did others, that he was special.
Mark Levin was not looking to do Television, Radio, or anything else, but he was drafted by very smart people who understood that there are few like him. He is a true Conservative, and Intellect, far smarter than those who criticize him but, above all, he is a man of Great Wisdom and Common Sense who truly loves our Country.
When you hear others unfairly attack Mark, remember that they are jealous and angry Human Beings, whose “sway” is much less than the Public understands, and will, now that they know where I stand, rapidly diminish. Other than for his wonderful wife and family, Mark Levin only cares and wants one thing, GREATNESS AND SUCCESS FOR AMERICA!
Those that speak ill of Mark will quickly fall by the wayside, as do the people whose ideas, policies, and footings are not sound. THEY ARE NOT MAGA, I AM, and MAGA includes not allowing Iran, a Sick, Demented, and Violent Terrorist Regime, to have a Nuclear Weapon to blow up the United States of America, the Middle East and, ultimately, the rest of the World.
MAGA is about stopping them cold, and that is exactly what we are doing. GOD BLESS OUR GREAT MILITARY, WHICH I HAVE REBUILT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MY FIRST TERM, TO ACHIEVE EVERLASTING PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
…””micro” is such an unfair characterization”
President Trump is well known to be loyal. I will just leave it at that, because I choose to leave it at that.
¹Pulling back to the Bigger Picture:
From decades well outside the wire, researching – boots on the ground, alone, deep in the weeds, carrying a rusty machete, looking at the unpopular truth while being snarked at from all sides… I can share a fundamental thing experience has taught me:
When “it” seems chaotic and mad, really confusing, conflicting and topsy-turvy chaotic, you can reasonably be sure there’s a focused intelligence operation swirling around “it”.
“It’s” not random, or organic…. EVER!
There is an absolutely true algorithmic boosting, an intentional shaping, underway in the background of all social media platforms.
The algorithms are manipulated to give increased influence, views and impressions to particular viewpoints.
The financial rewards within social media are specifically tailored to viewpoints that increase impressions and content creators end up following the narrative that rewards them. Simultaneously content creators stay away from viewpoints that are algorithmically disliked. This manipulation is obvious at this point.
Rewarding specific content is how the control levers are being manipulated.
It’s not organic or natural at all. The reality of what you see online, particularly in social media, is being controlled and influenced.
The “why” is a debatable aspect. Who and for what purpose is for each person to decide. I have my own opinions on who and why this is being done. However, whether it is happening is inarguable and the data affirms it.
From my perspective the division is all connected. Remember, Nick Fuentes is banned from the same platforms that now algorithmically boost accounts that mention him. Ideological hypocrisy within the algorithm outcome is one of the ways you can spot the manipulation.
Nick Fuentes is banned from TikTok, Instagram, Face Book, Google, YouTube, Meta etc., and as a consequence any prior account mentioning his content would not organically get a lift…. yet now it does.
This all started in June 2025, shortly after the Qatar vs Israel friction became visible as a wedge. Social media accounts who promoted Nick Fuentes on the same platforms that banned him, started getting increased impressions; something was turned off. This highlights the inorganic nature of the boost.
For others, like Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly or Tucker Carlson, it is entirely possible they only see the lift in impressions (and financial reward therein) and could ultimately believe their content is creating natural increases in support without realizing they are being boosted algorithmically as part of an intentional operation.
That is what I see as the most likely scenario.
Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, et al, are simply doing more of what creates revenue, possibly without realizing those who are delivering the revenue might have ulterior motives for boosting them. Ego, pride and/or willful blindness can also play a role.
A strategic political manipulation campaign could spend $5 billion trying to push up a candidate (traditional route), or they could spend $5 billion fracturing the opposition (modern splitter approach using social media).
Last point. The people around President Trump know absolutely nothing about how this operation is being conducted. Instead, as represented in the Truth Social post above, they are inadvertently providing fuel for it.
Candace has gone completely off the rails. But I have to agree that Miss Arizona Erika Kirk’s 2015 (pre-Charlie) comments about “baby rentals” sound eerily like those of suspected pedos like Tamara Luzzatto and model Chrissy Teigen.
I’m happy to see that this site has been resurrected: https://dcpizzagate.wordpress.com/
While I’m not a fan of CO’s delivery style… after doing my own deep dive into Erika Kirk’s past, as well as observations of things she did & said… she is a classic psychopath. And I reached that conclusion a week or 2 after his death.
I really wanted to feel sorry for her as a widow & did initially, but I can’t ignore the obvious… she is pure evil.
“Pure evil.” “Psychopath.”
I’d think you’d avoid making those statements unless the whole topic is devoted to the “Psychology of Erika Kirk” as a topic.
To simply throw that out there in a post about Mark Levin, and let it lie is not the act of an honorable person.
Perhaps, but it seems to me this post from Sundance is not about Mark Levin. It is a glimpse into the fracturing of MAGA.
Trillions at at stake. Trillions that fuel purely evil globalist agendas. They have to stop Trump. They want us to pick sides when we need to see through it – to rise above it.
two psychology articles today about what is happening here.

You are correct. Once she announced her most recent initiative is to go after our kids and brainwash them. This Make Heaven Crowded evangelical outreach is a really bad idea and the word needs to get out for parents to keep their kids as far away from it as possible.
I mean she is Catholic not Evangelical. So you might need to do more research into her “evangelical outreach.”

Re EK, I was never into or even knowledgeable about Turning Point, I was horrified at first…and deeply saddened at her becoming a widow and of course, for the kids…but like you, my feelings changed…no deep dive on my part, things just did not sit right with me.
It was the constant dabbing at the eyes that did not smudge the make up that got me…
And the damn Super Bowl rings on every finger.
Maybe the makeup was from the Tammy Faye Baker lineup??
The hanky thing…and yet, Charlie Kirk was a really smart and talented guy. Erika cannot replace him.
On the Charlie Kirk Show on RAV, Erika is never mentioned.
Wouldn’t “pure evil” be talked about occasionally?

Candace Owens is blackpilled on Trump while I am more in a wait and see mode. But otherwise, CO is solid and exposing a lot of the dark cabals woven around our globe.
“conceived by our MAGA friend, the wonderful Sean Hannity”
I happened to notice recently in a Youtube clip that it appears Hannity has stopped wearing the “CIA” pin on his lapel… so I guess that’s a win…
Hannity is looking just like those AI posts of him at an older age that used to be posted on here.
I did listen to mark lavin now snd then in the past.
I sent him an email suggesting he cutout the crazy yelling goofball rants that were stupid.
I told him it hurt his credability.
When he went into one if his time killing rants I cut the radio off.
Often he did make sense but with me it got to the point of the rants being like a series of 8 commercials in a row boring radio.
He kisses up to fox news and I don’t watch that anymore.
Megan kelly does some stuff i don’t like but i tune in sometimes anyway.
Trump does some stuff I don’t like but at least he doesn’t yell like a nut when he gets into a rant. He just repeats mainly.
I do think these so called public fueds benefit kelly’s ratings and lavins in the end.
There credability has dropped some again with me.
Both MK and ML claim to be MAGA conservatives. Both have sold out in the past. Both have ulterior motives. They found a way to be disagreeable without disagreeing.
No, MK said she is happily “MAGA adjacent.” I think she is too old to have “blood coming out of her whatever” anymore. She had an extramarital affair with Brit Hume (who was also married), had extensive plastic surgery, tried to ruin Trump at the debate. Mark Levin looks like death warmed over, but was a patriotic U.S. speechwriter for Reagan. It is like watching two old, toothless lions do “wrestling.” I don’t care anymore. I just watch President Trump. We all know these are all actors on the stage. I like Mark Levin. I don’t like MK.
These are all grifters and opiners. What else are they going to do to make a living, besides go on disability?
Wait, MK had an affair with Brit Hume? I find that hard to believe. Say what you want about her, but to many women who look at her, she’s a very attractive woman. Brit Hume? I mean where is the sexy in that man?
Old Yeller was chief of staff for the Gipper’s AG, Edwin Meese.
Pretty much every influencer is controlled opposition if not now will soon be.
I got no problem with Mark. Megan well that’s a different story. Yeah he talks load, so what.
I have never trusted people who shout. It diminishes their argument.
Some shouters are funny, like Sam Kinison. Mark Levin and Stephen A. Smith shout because it’s part of their schtick.
Welp, I’ve read the article and the comments and here is what I see missing:
What Mark Levin did, in running to the President -this is precisely why Megyn called him a micropenis- he just proved her entirely correct and I’m sure she’s having quite a laugh and a big “I told ya so”.
She was calling him a small little ankle biter of a man- and what did he do, precisely what she said he is- he ran off yapping.
I don’t read the POTUS response as anything good at all..
What POTUS is doing is Parenting, he’s soothing the kid that just lost the big game to the mean old bullies on the other team and and now the kid is all upset, full of doubt and suffering with a big case of dysregulation.
Dad brushes the dirt off his face, gives him the Dad wink of his eye and says those Dad words to get his kiddos head screwed back on straight.
And don’t you think it’s rather ridiculous and telling that Mark Levin ran off to ‘Dad’ (the POTUS) to yell at the bully (Megyn) for saying the mean word to him..
I hadn’t thought of Mark Levin as a micropenis before -but it appears that he certainly is one.
I haven’t liked Levin since he started ranting on Trump. He doesn’t have a face for TV and he doesn’t have a voice for radio. A shrill shrue.
“He doesn’t have a face for TV and he doesn’t have a voice for radio.”
A+
He indeed has a face for radio.
Ron Luciano, please call your office.
It’s not even those 2 things- the face, shrill voice…I have heard him back stab MAGA for being America 1st about the Iran and Gaza subjects. I wish that if he were so close to the President, he would have presented the President’s case for going after the nukes and helping the Iranian people without pounding the war drums in the name of Israel like they were the only ones involved or ever hurt. It has become quite clear to me that we are a country under siege from our enemies as well as our supposed allies. Under siege by the very same weather underground, globalist hippies and terrorists that have been bringing the country down for at least since Kennedy, if not since Wilson. We have, like Sundance, been through, researched and learned enough to know that this has been a propaganda campaign with mini operations and phases within, ready to go.
The enemy of my enemy strategy had kicked in and the infiltration button was pushed for the long game quite a ways back from American renegades too.
It did not take me long to figure out that Levin is part of whoever is running the break-up MAGA Operation on Social media platforms. Or he is too dumb or naive to know it is happening, which I highly doubt. No one has mentioned Tucker portion of this tragedy. (sadness within itself)
Me. My feelings about Israel are biblical and will never change, however, the exasperating amount of vitriol that erupted after Kirk’s death seemed too coincidental for me…right, there are no coincidences? First with CO trying to bring in that Israel had something to do with his assassination was too quick of an assumption. Too obvious. Some of it too fake and not character like of Levin, Owens, Tucker, Margorie Taylor Green and other podcasters and they all popped off at the same time ~ with the basic same message. Hmm. Sounds like Sundance is right.
I decided to sadly let this play out awhile. This is the first convo where I have chimed in.
Incidentally, do we all really believe POTUS just lines up with the loyal group as always? Actually, he isn’t lined with Tucker or Margorie, two of his one time “favorites”.
Is this a Kayfabe? Perhaps. Either way President Trump knows who has been naughty or nice.
Yes. I think the President is less like Levin’s Dad and more like Santa! Perhaps one of these useful idiots or grifters will eventually get coal in their stocking.
I listened to some of Megyn today and she listed the names he called her, Nazi, groyper, anti semite of course and much more, because she is friends with Tucker. And he can’t take it. Lame.
I don’t know why Sundance dislikes Mark Levin, but I agree with President Trump. Mark Levin is a true Patriot, and a devoted student of the Constitution and the Republic. Have you read his books? Every American would greatly benefit from his weekly show on Fox, ‘Life, Liberty, and Levin’. He is a great supporter of President Trump and his America First policies.
Yes, Mark Levin supported Ted Cruz in the summer of 2016. So did I; I knew nothing about Donald Trump, aside from headlines about ‘The Donald’ in the media. I had never seen ‘The Appprentice’. We all live and learn, and I am happy to be on the same side as Donald Trump and Mark Levin today.
They have some history, Levin is a total DB.
Levin in the past made a personal attack on Sundance..
My view is that 20% of the time Levin says things that are very. very helpful and the other 80% is blather, ranting or self-serving.
When he is focussed on Constitutional issues is where he is best. When he is rowing in the same direction he is helpful. Other times he is best ignored.
Megan Kelly is in my view an attack dog. I find that ignoring her 100% of the time is no loss.
Levin tried to get Mark Steyn tossed off the air – Rush stood up for him. Whiney Levin not for me but his books are pretty good.
I’m sorry, but the fact of supporting Ted Cruz doesn’t speak well for your ability to discern. Mark levin is a jealous me first kind of guy. Can’t stand him.
Please recall that, before Trump officially threw down in 2015, Republicans had front runners like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. So Ted Cruz seemed relatively better to many of us. In my case, it was Diamond and Silk who caused me to read up on Donald Trump. At the same time I dug deeper into Ted Cruz’ background. Astonished, I found that Trump was authentic and Cruz was a repackaged Bushie. Not all of us got it from the beginning.
I really loved Diamond and Silk and watching them was a treat! TY!
Silk
What turned me on to Mr Trump in the summer of 2016 was encountering a video of his Senate testimony on the UN-Building boondoggle (2005). I wrote about it in a blog post: ‘Trumped by The Trump’:
https://walkingcreekworld.wordpress.com/2016/08/25/trumped-by-the-trump/
I agree. In the beginning it was a toss up between 3 of them but after listening to Trump, he became the only one!
In 2016 Cruz was the only real conservative candidate. Trump was a celebrity of unknown views. Levin can be grating, in a suffer-no-fools way, but I agree with him most of the time.
During the first Trump campaign levin attacked Trump constantly on his radio show.
Many listeners of his back then were Conservative TreeHouse fans and would call in and debate levin citing The Treehouse.
“Old Yeller” at one point doxxed Sundance telling his audience who Sundance was and where he previously worked, basically trying to disparage Sundance and his followers here by calling this place the conservative nuthouse.
Petty, shallow and small minded. He lost much of his appeal to many of us after that.
Remember it well. He was just as nasty then as he has been the last few months. That’s when I turned him off completely.
Thanks for explaining that. I was not aware of the Treehouse then, and was not listening to Levin regularly. He has always been an acerbic, shoot-from-the-hip sort, especially on his radio show. He is more measured, but still forceful, on his weekly TV show these days.
I did not know that. It changes my opinion of Levin.
That’s how it happened, I had no idea who exposed Sundance. Glad I didn’t care about Levin at all! Rush was my only go to person I listened to.
I was one of those people back then too. I listened to Levin, Glenn Beck and Rush, and read Treehouse.
Life was easier then right? Things were more clear. All the warnings came true.
I did hear Levin say a couple of disparaging remarks about Treehouse, BUT I must have missed the part where he doxed Sundance. That is quite nasty. I remember Sundance calling him Ol Yeller all the time, and I knew he disliked hime. I did not know the specific reason.
Well, knowing this fact is very helpful.
If I had heard that at the time, I’m pretty certain I would have walked away from his show.
Say this name to Old Yeller: Eric Hoffer.
I used to listen to Levin’s podcast. That ended when he went full throttle on how the US owes Ukraine & is obligated to go to war with Russia over Ukraine’s sovereignty & territorial integrity.
The only American that owes Ukraine a dam thing is William Jefferson Clintoon.
And Biden. Hunter & Joe were well paid.
I was somewhat perplexed when Levin stated something like: “I would compare Zelensky…to Churchill.” Really? Jeez…
He yelled about Lady Lindsey on a regular until suddenly the former JAG OFF became a regular guest right around the same time as the nightly Ukraine war dance began.
Mark Levin has been attacking Megyn for months, almost a year. He does not like the fact that she criticizes Israel, or the actions of their government, and constantly calls her an anti-semite (because of course criticizing the actions of a government is the same as criticizing an ethnic group, or a religion. Right? /sarc)
She finally got tired of it and fired back, and ole Mark predictably freaked out, like he always does, and ran and hid behind Trump’s legs.
Mark knows he is on borrowed time, because the under 45 demographic is now openly hostile to Israel, and the under 25 demographic is starting to hate Israel. Mark Levin audience dies when the last boomercon dies, and Mark knows this. No one else listens to his slop.
Trump did himself no favors by doing this. His voter coalition has already fractured; the young low propensity working class hispanics and blacks that got him the popular vote have already switched back to Democrat, which is why you have seen Republicans get their ass kicked in every election since 2024. Trump will not get them back by publicly supporting Levin, if anything it will drive them further away. Israel is particularly unpopular with these new Trump (not Republican) voters, and apparently bombing Iran at the request of Benjamin Netanyahu is really unpopular.
Congress is going to flip, bigly, come November, and it is Trump’s fault. Not a popular opinion hereabouts, I know, but bookmark it.
re: “because the under 45 demographic is now openly hostile to Israel,”
CAN either of those two demographic groups cite the democracies in the middle east?
I thought not … AND we’re PURELY in the realm of Pavlovian operant conditioning when it comes to this hate thing.
No, but they can point to an obvious genocide, done live, on camera.
I personally don’t care if Israel kills off every last Palestinian, but I’m the sort who views Islam as a grave 1400 year old threat to the western world, so take that as you will.
Are you a Muslim?
Israel has committed no ‘genocide’. That is pure, vile Hamas propaganda.
Unknown sailor, You are one hundred percent correct. Between the war and trump publicly disowning supporters.Because they disagree with him, is really stupid on his part.
You’re one to call him Stupid, who are you again? He took a bullet for you, now he’s having a public argument and you start with the insults. You should be ashamed of yourself.
yes poor stupid Trump … how many billion do you have again??
Yes, you are the political genius. 😂😂
Wow, you need to check yourself. All that He has taken and almost died for Our Country. You sit behind your computer and criticize him. What the Hell are you doing to help Our county….nothing. You have no Idea what President Trump has inherited from Biden and Obama and dont forget the media
I support President Trump 100% and I am Proud to be MAGA
And Megyn’s criticisms of Israel have been very mild. Problem is she had a few issues and that is not allowed. Not that long ago she said that she considered herself a Zionist.
Yeah I really think Megyn is getting a bad rap here. She’s been critical but nothing extreme, and she’s friends with Tucker but doesn’t completely support or parrot everything he does.
Levin on the other hand is 0 or 100, has no nuance, unless he’s flip flopping on whatever he’s been paid to push as a talking point this week. I’m pretty sure he even openly said he’s Israel First.
I’m sick of all the lets blame it all on Israel, but I’m also rolling my eyes at people like Levin acting like Israel’s innocent in everything. It’s more of a grey area, which is pretty much the stance Megyn (and most sane people) are taking. She has plenty of flaws, is in over her head often, and puts her foot in her mouth from time to time too but she’s much more on the money than Levin is. Neither one of them deserve to even guest host for Rush Limbaugh.
Truth Geopolitics is always Gray. Lots of bad people doing bad things. Lots of good people doing bad things too. The stakes are high and the rules are fuzzy.
Life is not what we want it to be it is what it is.
is there some requirement that we publicly take side?
You seem to know a lot about speaking of slop….
I’ll leave it there.
Doom de doom doom, de doom doom. Sheesh. Get over yourself!!
I hope most people realize there are operatives here. The same ones that push the great podcaster war are the same ones that gaslight about the great MAGA divide.
Wake up people. These same infiltrators did the same thing during the first attack against Iran. Now they are at it again. Same game.
Trumps approval on Iran with his base has been rock steady at 85% and higher.
https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2033661592781406215
I’ll take that bet. By the time midterms are here, the “war” in Iran will be wrapped up with a neat bow. Just like before. UKR and RUS will agree to a cease fire over the summer. Some form of the Save Act will be implemented. Oil will come crashing down. Many of Trumps medium term strategies will start bearing fruit, if they haven’t already, such as tariffs, trade deals, USA manufacturing, energy, etc.
DJT has clearly been working on a long term strategy. Completely redefining global commerce, political alliances, and exposing the evil underpinnings of the current world order.
DJT always pulls a rabbit out of the hat, because he knows how to work the enemy. He knows how to throw them a bone, while he does what he needs to do in the background. Remember all the drama about his taxes in his first term? He knew there was nothing there, but he fought releasing them and did everything possible to protect them. Spent millions on attorneys. The left went nuts. They were certain they had him this time, what is he protecting!! 🤡 Eventually someone leaked them (and went to jail recently for it) and there was literally nothing there. Just a one man psy-op to keep the little demons busy.
Same thing with Epstein. He created way more controversy than he had to. He had every lefty dummy certain he was implicated in “the files”. Trump just kept creating more and more smoke, knowing there was no actual fire. …but it sure kept the little demons busy.
Makes you wonder too. Was the big deportation push mostly red meat for retards? It was something that needed to happen, regardless, and Obama technically deported more people. …but it sure kept the little demons busy while he reset the global order.
TLDR; There is no MAGA divide. We’ll hold the line at midterms. Let Trump cook.
While I agree with you, this post is written by CattleDog, and edited by “seventhndr”? – What’s up with that?
Its some sort of glitch when SD moved from wordpress to his own platform. Whenever I edit a post, it tags it with my old WP account.
Sounds feasible:)
Thanks for the reply.
Happy to help.
Fun fact (maybe), I love my Cattle Dogs (Australian Cattle Dogs). Hence my current name. Seven was a Cattle Dog I had several years ago. She had bad epilepsy. 🙁 I called her my little thunderstorm. And that is where Seventhndr comes from. 🙂
I think Mark Levin’s wife has done legal work for Trump. This may be part of the reason for his loyalty to Mark.
Before the current Middle East muddle, Mark Levin’s show was difficult to listen to because of his obnoxious style, but the content was sound, once you got past the screaming. Now it is un-listenable.
Don’t know or care about Megyn Kelly. She may just be tired of the Israel First take Mark Levin has.
For my part I think Trump is correct to finish the job started last year to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear power. I take at face value that they acknowledged having enough 60% enriched uranium for 11 atom bombs. If they got this far, the remaining enrichment is apparently less difficult than the steps taken to get to 60%.
Iran is the underwriter and author of most of the misery in the Middle East. Taking them out will take down the Houthis, Hezballah, and Hamas, and will keep Europe safe from nuclear blackmail.
I don’t get people who say doing the right thing for America and the world is not a good thing if it also helps Israel. Some call it “America Only” in contrast from America First. A zero sum loser mindset.
I trust Trump is doing the right thing, regardless of whether it helps Israel or not.
It should not be lost on anyone how this helps checkmate China without a direct confrontation.
“I take at face value that they acknowledged having enough 60% enriched uranium for 11 atom bombs.”
Haven’t we learned by now to never take anything expressed by government or media at face value?
“It takes years to establish trust, but only seconds to destroy it permanently.” How are we doing on that?
“It should not be lost on anyone how this helps checkmate China without a direct confrontation.”
Except the China industrial and scientific hive will continue its long term rise. And people seem to keep forgetting how they control the things necessary for the US military to function – which the US military is expending far faster than they can be replenished now, a depletion started with Ukraine and previous recent middle east operations but drastically accelerating now with the war on Iran.
Here’s another glimpse from yesterday:
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/armor-piercing-ammo-metal-557-china-chokes-supply-war-demand-surges
These things cannot simply be magically sourced elsewhere within a year or two, regardless of how much bluster and fiat money Trump pours out.
In fact, because of all the above, some suggest that the US is now accelerating its own demise by intent, with the Iran operation (rapidly depleting munitions and interceptors).
If US and allies’ warships get sunk by hypersonics and drone/missile swarms in Hormuz, this view will start to look even more credible.
Wait a minute, I have seen these talking points before. Hmmmm.
When life appears as a chaotic mess, humans try to make sense of it. Complicating the matter is clever people are deliberately trying to confuse with clever schemes and manipulation. Separating truth from fiction, rumor from fact becomes nearly impossible.
Most of the time we can never figure everything out for sure; we can only make educated guesses and admit that our conclusions are not conclusive. Those who are dissatisfied with uncertainty are willing to believe in prepackaged theories that scapegoat certain people and groups. It is comforting to have a clear villain to revile, but it is very dangerous.
Those who are dissatisfied with uncertainty are willing to believe in prepackaged theories that scapegoat certain people and groups.
Absolutely. People are much more than dissatisfied with uncertainty. It makes them so uncomfortable that they will do anything – mental acrobatics – to get away from the feeling of not knowing.
Really, this purported maga-inluencer dust-up is utterly ridiculous.
Best to just ignore their sqeaking and squawking.
Mark Levin isn’t, never has been, and never will be a “Maga influencer”.
Same goes for Sean Vanity and little precocious Ben Shapiro.
No, I believe the proper acronym is MIGA influencer. People here sure do confuse the two on a large scale.
“Likely looking for an ally of considerable consequence to boost his member-ship status.”
I don’t give a ship about the current retarded “he said, she said” politics, but that was funny!
I stopped listening to Levin when he said that Bill Barr was an honest and decent man (or words to that effect). I’ll leave it at that.
Someone should tell Megyn about shrinkage.
Levin should remember that Kelly didn’t call him a micropenis…she said he had one. There is a difference! Not a big one, but a difference. And Mark could have easily come up with a snappy retort like, “You’re right! It was 13 degrees outside with a windchill of minus 1. Everybody had them that day! Even the animals at the zoo!” Self-deprecating humor could have saved the day.
The kep point by Sundance:
“That is what I see as most the most likely scenario.
Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, et al, are simply doing more of what creates revenue, possibly without realizing those who are delivering the revenue might have ulterior motives for boosting them. Ego, pride and/or willful blindness can also play a role.
A strategic political manipulation campaign could spend $5 billion trying to push up a candidate (traditional route), or they could spend $5 billion fracturing the opposition (modern splitter approach using social media).”
I one hundred percent disagree with sundances assessment. This is a battle for truth.And the ability to speak the truth without being persecuted. The patriot act is the albatross around the american citizen’s neck. Right now, people like tucker and candace and possibly megan are in the crosshairs. Maga is now canceling people just like they criticized the demon rats for doing.
I think both “sides” of this Israel vs no-Israel debate have tried to cancel each other. I am not saying everyone all the time, but I have been surprised at how many “conservatives” have been dishonest in framing, or tried to cancel people, or not debated in good faith. Values that everyone in this debate purports to hold have been cast aside at times.
I don’t mean commenters like you and me, I mean the people with a following.
I think this debate ultimately arose because there is a power vacuum. President Trump’s term is up in three years, so the person that has dominated politics for the last decade will suddenly be out of the running. So there is a power vacuum there. But there is also a power vacuum in “conservative media”. Rush of course was the voice for a long time, but he passed away five years ago. Whether people like it or not, Charlie Kirk had become that new voice following the 2024 election (I am not comparing Charlie Kirk to Rush, I am not saying this is good or bad, I am just saying it is what happened. Charlie Kirk simply had the most influence). But of course with his assassination, now there is a gap in right-wing media as well. This debate did start prior to his assassination, Sundance says June ’25 which makes sense since this was when the 12 day war was, but I think it also intensified after Charlie Kirk was murdered because that meant there was a 2nd vacuum – President Trump’s is wisely anticipated, Charlie Kirk’s was suddenly exploited.
I appreciate that Mark Levin knows more American history, particularly regarding its founding and
its “framing” than Carlson + Kelley + Bannon + Posobiec + all of them put together.
Yes, it DOES matter that there are people who have both the knowledge and the ability to educate millions of listeners/viewers on the Articles of Confederation, the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, SCOTUS decisions big and small.
It matters we have lawyers like him and his firm which argued before SCOTUS against Obamacare.
I don’t agree with him on everything, far from it, but I am a better-informed citizen for having done a lot of listening to Mark Levin over the years, and I thank God for men like him.
I agree entirely. Mark Levin educates as often as he pontificates. He often has a chip on his shoulder, but if I ever needed a lawyer or a debater, he’d be the one I’d want.
IOW, who is benefitting from the increased traffic?
Would that be Larry Ellison and his ilk benefitting from algorithms while they just sit back and count the gate?
They are all pawns skimming off the top. BigTech is a expense, not an enterprise. Hundreds of billions flow in, not to to generate revenue, but to control the Agenda. Trump and MAGA ar disrupting the Agenda.
Meet the new BigTech Oligarchs – same as the old BigTech Oligarchs. We are are watching their places shuffling around the table. $5 billion is pocket lint for those who fund them.
I take this as another sign post from Sundance – just as we came to understand Jacks’ Magic Coffee Shop
“ Likely looking for an ally of considerable consequence to boost his member-ship status.”
ROFL….🤣
So, my Brother-in-law is good friends with Levin’s former producer and Ron, that’s his name, asked me, oh I don’t know, maybe 12 years ago, if I knew Mark Levin, “I did” I said. “What do think of him” he asked, “A$$Hole” I responded, “why” He asked, cause the guys a BS artist and I don’t like people who BS other people into seeing only their way”. I still see Ron, once in awhile, but he never brings up Levin, wonder why?
So Megyn Kelly slept with Mark Levin….I mean it wouldn’t be a first for FOX.
All parties have been long muted.
LOL
Levin was wrong on the Ukraine and Tariffs. Kelly supported Hillary in 2016. They can both disappear from media, since they don’t seem to have good judgment and are just trying to stay relevant.
Good call Sundance on the algorithms boosting them and others. Nick Fuentes would still be a nobody but for the algorithms pushing him out there.
I think the difference between the two, though, is that Megyn has shown a pretty clear progression towards being a conservative since 2016. She’s changed. Fox beat her up, Trump beat her up, ABC beat her up, and eventually she figured some things out. She runs her own show, and says what she wants to say on it. She’s a flawed person like we all are but she agrees with the average conservative on 95% of things. If you’ve paid attention to her comments for the past 4 years or so about transgender people, she has said more on the conservatve side of that , than anybody in media has been allowed to and she wouldn’t be doing that if she was a closet liberal.
Levin is 20 years older than her and has always been the same, he’s a sellout and was wrong on a hell of a lot more than the tariffs. We could come up with a list of 30 or 40 major things he was on the wrong side of.
Megyn used to be a liberal like everybody else in the media, learned some lessons and has become more conservative. That’s a pretty natural progression lots of Americans go through.
I don’t really like any of the podcasters and influencers. I stopped listening to Levin about 2015, around the time I decided Fox only cared about money (of course)… Levin is bought and paid for, as are most of them. Levin seems particularly willing to completely sell out to whatever crap he gets paid to push at the moment, he used to hang around with Glenn Beck another completely certifiable nut job.
As for Megyn, I’m not a huge fan but I think she’s less of a sell out than most of the rest. She’s had a clear progression from Fox to where she is now. She is truthfully much more conservative than she used to be, and has been a strong voice against the tranny nonsense. She’s had fights with Trump but he’s had fights with her too.
If we’re taking sides I’d side with Megyn. I’ve never been a fan of Tucker Carlson, and I was a fan of Candace Owens for about 2 months 8 years ago. I have no interest in Erika Kirk but also have no interest in all the crazy crap they say about her.
Conservative Inc. is just a more profitable, timely version of Liberal Inc. The most honest one of all of them is probably Alex Jones, he’s been consistently crazy for 30 years and has always stood for freedom, which he pretty much still does. He’s completely off the rails all the time but he always has been so I can respect that. If he tells me Aliens are hiding in the bathroom of the Lincoln Bedroom and controlling Trump with mind control, at least I know nobody’s paying him to say that.
I have noticed what you are saying regarding the accounts generating revenue, particularly Megyn Kelly, while she is losing her popularity. Regarding Mark Levin, I am sad to hear Sundance’s opinion. I have to stand by Levin because early on he was the only one vocally calling BS on the Dossier, Russian collusion etc. He saw right through it and I have great appreciation and gratitude as a result. I am also a Christian Zionist.
“he was the only one vocally calling BS on the Dossier, Russian collusion etc. ”
This is a patently false statement. Many were calling bs very early on.
Out of all the podcasters and influencers, whom of them were actually supporting Trump in 2015?
Even guys like Greg Gutfield, who is pretty respected and pretty solid, tweeted out one time that nobody he knows or works with (at Fox) wanted to vote for Trump. Now he acts like he’s all in.
I remember Rush, to his credit, often spoke in 2015 and 16 of why he felt Trump was resonating with people, and refused to pick a candidate, then solidly backed Trump once he was the nominee. I think Rush preffered Cruz, but he never openly said it, and never spoke against Trump in the primary, then supported him after. Very respectful and I was actually a little surprised, I figured he’d endorse Cruz or Rubio but he never did. I think Rush had his finger on the pulse of the audience like nobody else, and knew that the winds were blowing behind Trump and went along with it, to his great credit. Simply the best ever.
Actually, I listened to Rush a lot back then. He wasn’t for Trump and was even slyly negative toward him. Usually, not outwardly negative toward him, but definitely not supporting him. He’d say stuff about him that aggravated me and was blatantly false.
Once Trump got some momentum, Rush was more on the fence and played both sides. Then when it became clear 45 was unstoppable Rush became a full on bandwagon member—and even would try to take credit for it. Like he was for 45 all along—which he wasn’t.
That never sat well with me and I had lost respect for Rush from then on. Not only would he not admit his mistake of backing others and going against Trump, he took credit for Trump winning. If he would’ve just owned up to it—we all make mistakes, it would’ve been fine. But he doubled down on it and pretended he was helpful in Trump winning the primary—which just wasn’t true.
Rush was like the UK willing to join the fight after the fight was already won.
As I recall, Rush steadfastly maintained that he would not endorse anyone in a primary. Once there was a nominee, it was different.
Correct.
I cal, him, “professor Harangue..”
Sundance, I am absolutely “stealing” that brilliant phrase :”stare in Southern”….perfection. I intend to use it liberally. Thank you!!
On this topic: Two people I cant stand: Levin and Kelly–irritating and ready to pop off about anything at any time. Just worthless humans
So the little weiner wants to take on the bleeder. I will just pop some corn and take my seat.
Noice
President Trump just doesn’t get it. He can’t see who is not on his side – Susie, Pam Bondi, Sean Hannity, et.al. There is nothing we can do about it since he chooses not to listen to his base. He has a blind spot for those people we see as traitors. This could potentially be disastrous for him. It’s harder for us since we see these people for who they are – Trump probably sees them as he hopes they are.
If I recall… Hannity personally called Trump after The Big Steal and urged him to just let Joe just have it… whaddaguy…
I like to think it’s giving people the grace to grow into a better self rather than attacking them or rejecting them as we so often are apt to do. No perfection here as I admit I often fail to live up to that standard. This is the thing we are supposed to strive for. Sometimes we recognize the reality that we all sinners saved by the grace of God in Jesus Christ.. President Trump may recognize that when he lifts up some persons who seem not to deserve it.
Retired middle school teacher, here…
Some people seem to have never grown out of the old routine of commandeering all the common friends as a means to ostracize the one “friend” with whom they have a disagreement. It’s a sixth-grader “thing.”
Sad, really.
“Politics is show business for the ugly.”
“Many people just never seem to get over high school.”
Rush Limbaugh
Yes, all very disorienting – the hallmark of spooks at work. CO went off the rails soon after marrying into a British aristocratic family of some sort. Immediately she went after the two entities the Brits loathe most – the French of course (via Macron’s wife’s supposed penis) and, the the global populist movement, via Trump and MAGA. I’ve assumed she is a cutout for British IC. As for EK, I do not understand what her supposed crimes to be (beyond her determination to keep her mascara from running). Any crumbs appreciated.
Maybe the point is, trust in a process doesn’t have to influence or discount your existing beliefs/observations.
Live our best life!
They call Mark Levin “ the great one” but now , thanks to Megyn Kelly, we know it is not referring to his penis.
Well, if Q is right and Israel is being saved for last, then it would seem that PDJT supporting Mark Levin is actually the kiss of death.
Trump know how to deliver the kiss of death skillfully, artfully, and totally.
I would not want to be Mark Levin right now.
But then we would have to have the “Q is a larq” debate to get at the bottom of things.
Well….is Q a larq?… or has Mark Levin been delivered ‘the envelope’.
Only time will tell.
PS, typos are not intentionally intentional but just probably intentional.
Mark Levin looks like he already has the kiss of death, literally.
The sponsors of those shills are trying to drum-up some attention so people will tune in. Looks like part of a greater strategy to split the electorate into pro- and anti-Israeli factions ahead of midterms.
I don’t support Israel, but I do support MAGA and Donald Trump. So the shills don’t influence my vote. These comment sections are overrun with astroturfers these days, too. Fake, two-faced people who want to sow doubt and shift your support away from Trump. Is it working on you?
It doesn’t work on me. I actually turn away from anyone who disparages President Trump, even in the vein of “well, I support Trump, but don’t tell me I can’t criticize him.” If we are not here to support a President who has beat so many odds against him, then what are we doing? These disparagers have been wrong so many times and yet, they never swallow crow and apologize in public. I supported Ted Cruz (still send him $10 for every Senate run) for President up until September 2015, not because of anything he did wrong, but because a little voice in my head told me Trump was going to win. I still support Cruz because he said he was willing to contest the 2020 election results (whether a made up ploy or not) and he MAY get put on the Supreme Court.
The problem I have with both Levin and Hannity is that their entire presentation seems to validate and promote the opposition. On every single issue they are often the loudest voices amplifying the psychosis and lunacy of the left – especially among the imposters in the conservative movement. Their faux outrage has long ago stopped fooling me. Their purpose is to keep the issues of status quo liberalism front and center and promote the relevance of the imposter. Once their facade has slipped and their ability to deceive people has weakened to a point of irrelevance, they usually wind up going to moonbat media like CNN and MSNOW.
Well, whatever the “algorithm” is doing, it’s a total turn off. I know when I’m being manipulated (experience!). My tact is to just turn them ALL off. Don’t listen to Kelly, Owens, or Carlson, Bannon, Beck, or Levin. Basically, I’ve tuned out of most “voices”. None of that changes my convictions.
There are downstream effects of what these people are doing, and I see more and more “influencers” taking sides and creating even more division (The Goal). So, I’ve turned them off too. And I also thought… why am I even spending time listening to random people on the Internet???? What a waste.
I need to FOCUS on what matters: The Lord, my family, and close friends. That’s it. Everything else is just chaff.
I appreciate Sundance, and I listen to Trump.
I find all of these people totally obnoxious: CO, MK, Levin, Tucker… and the grieving widow.
I arrived at that conclusion through observation and a few nagging headaches.
I don’t give a damn about any dribble sliding down their chins for clicks and cash.
Don’t watch.
Don’t listen.
Don’t care.
WHY Trump surrounds himself w/ the likes of Levin, Jared, Wiles is beyond me.
It destroys his image and his administration.
Levin and Cruz, have we already forgotten?
I haven’t.
Trump making same mistakes this time as last time. The ‘boys’ doing development in Mid East is a mighty bad look as well.
Many here continue to struggle. Prices of essentials, groc, fuel, util, meds, insur have NOT reduced.
Useful idiots all until they are not. All are acting like kids on the playground.
I miss Rush ☹️
I used to listen to Mark Levin religiously and, honestly, he taught me a lot about the Constitution. I credit him, Rush Limbaugh, and others with helping me see the light regarding how our nation was founded, etc. For quite some time now, Levin has become so Israel-centric that I can’t listen. Some of the shows are nothing but Israel, Bibi, isolationists, blah, blah. When he focuses on constitutional law, the Constitution, the founding, etc., I listen. Otherwise, I turn him off.
SD,
I too can not tolerate Mark Levin and was a fairly regular listener of his radio show. On a December 2020 show he was commenting on AG Barr refusing to take up anything regarding Election Interference. He said, Bill Barr is a friend of mine and a “good man”. He went on to say something like if there was a there there Barr would have been all over it. I haven’t listened to another show since that statement.
Just like I don’t drink Bud Light. I don’t eat Kellogg’s cereal. I don’t drive an EV, I don’t give to the Salvation Army. I don’t give Scouts of America, no Cracker Barrel.
Basically, if you’re disingenuous and/or promote woke I don’t support you.
Conservatives have long memories.
Barr had a studious, thoughtful, and convincing demeanor, with a deep knowledge of the Constitution, and when he was appointed seemed to be standing up for President Trump, against the Comey clique who were trying to take the President down. But then, when confronted with the obviously stolen 2020 election, he completely collapsed and turned tail. I have had no respect for him since. I didn’t hear Levin then, but since they had been friends, I can understand placing his trust in Barr for that moment.
When I was looking for Conservative podcasts on Apple his name was one of the first to pop up. I had heard of him before but had no idea what his ideals were. I think I listened to half of his podcast before turning him off. I must have missed Sundance’s feeling about him or I would have ignored him completely and saved the time. At the same time I haven’t liked Megyn since after her big stupid interview with Trump but he needs to open his eyes on this one!
All of this DRAMA is another distraction, we’re INSOLVENT and they cannot HIDE it much longer………
Re: the old party line phone is like the today’s social media in many regards ( but not all regards )
i.e.
people talking about other people – while not constructively accomplishing a worthwhile thing
( not cooking, building a tree house, walking a dog, designing new infrastructure, growing acres of food etc. )
..ahhh the talk, about others talking…
What does that accomplish?

Be honest . You don’t like Levin for the same reasons the Carlson camp does.
Manipulating the masses.
While we claim to be smarter, the powers that be laugh and prove otherwise.
