In last week’s “Hard Truth” podcast—David Vance, ilana Mercer and guest Jack Kerwick (introduced here https://rumble.com/v15a75f-tucker-cancels-gop-so-should-you-republicans-have-done-nothing-to-defend-yo.html) cancelled the Grand Old Party (GOP). And on good grounds. The Republican Party HAS never stood up for you, WILL never stand up for you and is NOT going to do what it takes. Past is prologue.
As Dr. Boyd Cathey has observed (https://barelyablog.com/national-review-conservatism-as-ugly-as-the-promulgators/ ), the “party which never conserves anything” had been exposed as such as far back as 1875. “The great Southern author, Robert Lewis Dabney, writing a decade after the end of the War Between the States … expressed presciently this tendency of dominant, post-war Northern conservatism”:
The history of the Republican Party is “that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is to-day one of the accepted principles of conservatism.” https://barelyablog.com/national-review-conservatism-as-ugly-as-the-promulgators/
Some questions, however, lingered. Were we and our guest, Dr. Kerwick, being too theoretically pure? Perhaps conservatives should just put up and shut up about the Only Game in Town? Succinctly put by a viewer and reader:
“Yup! The Republicans suck. But the Democrats want to kill me.”

To that, David provided the perfectly plain answer, as is his wont. WATCH. So did Andrew Breitbart. WATCH AND SUBSCRIBE. David and ilana also get down to some "Monkey Business." Look, “Monkey Pox” is not a worry. All you have to do is avoid Biblically prohibited copulation. But beware! The Powers, however, do want to make “Monkey Pox” a lockdown affair.
(Oh, last week, https://rumble.com/v15a75f-tucker-cancels-gop-so-should-you-republicans-have-done-nothing-to-defend-yo.html, ilana went with a woke aesthetic, as viewers of the “Hard Truth” podcast told her bluntly. So, no more unwashed hair on this May 26, 2022 “Hard Truth” episode. Ilana cleaned up "good," as they'd say in the South.)
DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it. Having been in front-line politics as Deputy Leader of the UK Unionist Party for some years, he was delighted to oppose the anti-democratic Belfast Agreement and the Clintonian-Blair forces behind that. He even wrote a book about it all called “Unionism Decayed” (2008). David has been a successful businessman for decades and prides himself on his independence. He has turned in stellar appearances on ALL mainstream UK political programs, before being … cancelled. He doesn’t care! He and ilana mercer have joined forces to create the punch-in-the-gut HARD TRUTH channel. Contacts: https://gettr.com/user/davidvance & https://gab.com/DAVIDVANCE
ILANA MERCER, paleolibertarian author and theorist, has written a weekly column since 1999, in which first principles and a fidelity to reality have combined to yield a predictive, fun bit of writing on the most controversial, pressing issues of the day. From war to racism to trade deficits to anarchism to immigration and populism; as a reader put it, “We’ve learned to trust you.” Books: Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa (2011) & The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed” (2016) Gettr: https://gettr.com/user/ilanamercer Twitter: https://twitter.com/IlanaMercer
