On Tucker Carlson

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/24/2023 5:09:11 PM

Everybody is up in arms about Tucker Carlson’s and Fox News’ split. Lots of rumors regarding why it happened are floating around, and as with all breaking news stories you should wait for a bit before you trust anything anybody says. “Inside sources” or outright speculations are unreliable. Was it Dominion? Was it Tucker wanting to defend himself? Was it something else? I don’t know and only a small circle of people so far do. And even they will probably have diverging views. What interests me is how Tucker is a very different kind of media voice and one who can’t easily fit at any cable news station.

Tucker's early persona is the reason Rush nicknamed him Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.

Wasn't it just yesterday that AOC accused Tucker of "inciting violence?" How convenient...it almost sounds like she knew something... Nah. That would be a conspiracy theory. /s

The decision to fire Tucker came from Rupert Murdoch. Why? Because of Tucker's reporting on J6. Did you notice that Tucker reported about J6 over only two days after the J6 committee video tapes were released to him, then the reporting abruptly stopped? Obviously, Rupert was forced by the deep state to put a stop to Tucker's reporting of J6 and other areas of concern to the deep state. This violated the terms of Tucker's contract with Fox. The discrimination lawsuit filed last month by Abby Grossberg is just noise. Another bloody nose for Fox News. While I will miss Tucker's Fox News pulpit, looking forward to his next gig. As for Fox News, go woke, go broke.

It really is not about Tucker. It is about the how thought, logic and free speech are being shut down in this country. Very simple, the American Public is being lied to and manipulated and any voice that counters these lies is being silenced. This is simply not The United States that the majority of us knew and loved.

Hey, the media is taking their guesses, so I will as well. My guess is Tucker quit, nobody fired him at all. Since the settlement with Dominion, the Fox bosses are very leery of Jan 6 talk, so they warned Tucker to pipe down about it. 60 Minutes did their puff piece interview with Ray Epps Sunday night, and Tucker was probably including that in his show topics for this evening. Also, the Dominion case was probably on his list of topics. Tucker told them he will not be controlled on topics, Fox bosses didn't agree, so Tucker told them to pound sand.

Rush passed, Lou Dobbs was fired, now Tucker. Trump out of office. It looks like the Deep State can eventually get to anybody, seven ways from Sunday, per Schumer. There is nothing left to watch. Those remaining at Fox have gotten the message, and are now stymied and uninteresting. Tucker might take over Rush's spot, which has been silenced, since Rush passed. Tucker could be with us 3 hours a day, and really give the left some justice. Whatever happens, Fox has completely lost its reputation, and is a social pariah for anyone associated with it. Those remaining should turn their backs, when the executives appear.

FOX needs Tucker a whole lot more than Tucker needs them. Agree with poster above that Tucker could do a great radio show from his home. As long as Greg Gutfeld brings in the high dollars, Fox won't go broke.

The Media Industrial Complex is definitely evil and fascistic as they have the approval and endorsement of the ruling UniParty. There is now only OneSpeak, that speach which is approved of by the UniParty. Those who voice words other than OneSpeak will suffer the wrath and consequences of the UniParty. Tucker is the latest victim. Bear in mind they will eventually get around to you. The order to load the trains is not far off. Be prepared.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) invited Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to testify at a May 2 hearing on court ethics. Roberts delivered his answer Tuesday: thanks, but no thanks. Roberts wrote a letter to Durbin which was released by a court spokesperson: I must respectfully decline your invitation. Testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee by the Chief Justice of the United States is exceedingly rare as one might expect in light of separation of powers concerns and the importance of preserving judicial independence.

Now that President Biden has rolled out his first campaign advertisement of the 2024 cycle, we’ve learned that his theme is going to be “Let’s finish the job.” As with so much else that we’ve watched unfold over the past two years, that video left me feeling like I was watching some sort of poorly scripted dystopian movie. He’s hardly the first president to adopt such a theme, but surely he’s aware that most of his target audience (likely voters who are interested in the election) have access to the internet or at least a television, right? We’ve all witnessed “the job” that he’s done thus far and the results

President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced his intention to run for a second term in the White House, and nobody cares, including his base. Biden’s announcement, which was highly anticipated by absolutely no one, came in a video titled “Freedom.” In the video, the president reiterated his tired old diatribes about fighting for the “soul of our nation,” fighting for “democracy” and “blah blah blah.” While some in the activist media are unsuccessfully trying to garner excitement for this development, recent polling suggests that even Democrats aren’t all that enthused about Biden seeking another nap term as president. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, only 22 percent of Democrats expressed excitement

Washington governor Jay Inslee signed three gun control bills on Tuesday, including a ban on AR-15s and dozens of other semiautomatic rifles. The new measures will go into effect immediately. In addition to the semiautomatic rifle ban, a ten-day waiting period for all gun purchases will be instituted. There is also a measure to enable the state attorney general or private citizens to sue gun manufacturers and dealers under public-nuisance laws if they negligently allow their guns to be sold to minors or straw purchasers, the Seattle Times reported. “These weapons of war, assault weapons, have no reason other than mass murder,” Inslee said at the signing ceremony.

The Biden administration is quietly preparing for the possibility that if Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive falls short of expectations, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has come up short, too. Ukraine’s ever-imminent counteroffensive will attempt to retake Russian-seized territory most likely in the east and south, though for operational reasons no senior officials from Kyiv have detailed specifics. Publicly, President Joe Biden’s team has offered unwavering support for Ukraine, pledging to load it up with weapons and economic aid for “as long as it takes.” But, if the impending fighting season yields limited gains, administration officials have expressed privately they fear being faced with a two-headed monster

Washington — Susan Rice, one of President Biden's most trusted aides and his top domestic policy official, will be leaving the administration next month in what will mark one of the most high-profile departures from his administration, the White House announced Monday.

Rice served as national security adviser and United Nations ambassador under former President Barack Obama. In a statement, Mr. Biden praised Rice's tenure, highlighting her pivotal role in advancing his agenda.

I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do, too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election."

These vehicles can include electric vans and trucks, cargo bikes or hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The goal is to reduce traffic from heavy trucks in the downtown area.

Hospitals should be places you can trust to provide comfort and healing when you’re most vulnerable.

For one thing, lawsuits against three hospitals have been filed in California by 14 bereaved families who claim their loved ones were killed by a deadly protocol.

Yet Slow Joe is plowing ahead anyway.
