laze Media announced this week that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson will host the first Republican presidential forum of the 2024 primary race this week and there was one name noticeably absent from the list.
“Blaze Media is teaming up with THE FAMiLY LEADER to bring you the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican Primary season, hosted by Tucker Carlson,” the media company said in a statement. “We’ll be live streaming this event all day Friday, July 14th on BlazeTV and the BlazeTV YouTube channel.”
The Friday event will feature numerous current and former elected leaders who are running for president — including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) — as well as some other candidates who are lower in the polls.
Bob Vander Plaats — who is an influential evangelical leader in the state of Iowa and the CEO of The FAMiLY Leader, the organization hosting the event — said in a tweet: “I learned last night that @realDonaldTrump will NOT attend our Leadership Summit this Friday.”
A spokesperson for Trump said the former president would not be attending because of a “scheduling conflict” involving a speech Trump is supposed to give at the Turning Point Action conference, which is near Mar-a-Lago, on Saturday or Sunday.
The news comes after Trump attacked popular Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds on social media this week, a key Republican figure who could have a significant impact on who ends up winning the state in January.
“I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won,” Trump claimed in a post. “Now, she wants to remain ‘NEUTRAL.’ I don’t invite her to events!”
Trump visited Iowa last Friday; Reynolds did not attend, and an aide to Reynolds reportedly said she was not invited. Although Reynolds has publicly praised DeSantis, Trump’s chief rival for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, she has not yet endorsed any candidate.
The New York Times noted in a report this week that “there is no politician in Iowa with greater sway than Ms. Reynolds, 63, who has overseen her party’s swelling state legislative majorities with an approval rating among Republicans near 90 percent.”

It's kinda like Biden similarly not having any advantageous reason to debate Trump in 2020, though the details are enormously different.

Trump visited Israel and visited the Western wall which the Joos claim is the remains of the Second Temple. But God did not leave a stone upon a stone when he destroyed the temple.
That wall is what is left of an old Roman Fortress since this was the eastern extent of the Roman empire and Centurions needed a safe place to sleep at night. ;)

True and it was Pontius Pilate who asked the Jews, "What shud I do with this man?" They hollered, "Crucify him!"
So it was the Jews that sealed the fate of Jesus Christ. ;)

To be fair, it was "the Jews" present at the event. All faults of the faith aside, that event is too often unfairly projected to all Jews of all time.

I worked with a Jew boy named Hy Waxberg. He was in WW II. He had a good looking daughter. I asked if she might go on a date with me.
He replied, "With a shagetz like you?"
Shagetz is the opposite of Schiksa.
Every Jewish man wants his daughter to marry a nice Jewish boy or force the man to convert.
I knew another old boy that was in the Navy during the war. He told me he's drove an LST onto a pier in Normandy.
He also said that, "Among all the religions they have taken up four days off during the week."
He was a Master Plumber and built a lot of those buildings along Lake Shore Drive and Sheridan Rd . He would run 30 and 40 man crews.
Heals drank whiskey by the quart. One day he just quit like turning off a switch.
He got drunk on Vanilla Extract in the South Pacific and would never eat vanilla ice cream. ROTFLOL
