Heil & Farewell, Tucker Carlson

April 25, 2023

Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson, the preppy, petulant, Putin-loving prevaricator who dominated Fox News (or “News”) ratings for the past 6 years, was unceremoniously dumped by the right-wing network early on Monday. Fox stocks took an immediate $700 million nosedive.

There was a temptation to attribute the dissmissal to Mr. Carlson’s cynical lies that helped precipitate the $787.5 million Fox Corp. settlement in the Dominion Voting Systems case. But Tucker Carlson wasn’t fired because he’s a liar, a White Nationalist, or a fascist, or a Proud Boys provocateur. It was because he was a bullying, sexist pig.

Mr. Carlson may return to broadcasting on Russian state media or Dancing With the Stars. Who will replace him on Fox?  The New Yorker‘s Andy Borowitz has a view:”Fox Replaces Tucker Carlson with Lying Chatbot.”

Sharron Angle Defends USA From Muslim Invasion!

Sharron Angle Defends US From Muslim Invasion!

“… we’re talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe it isn’t a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it.”

“My thoughts are these, first of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas are on American soil, and under constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don’t know how that happened in the United States. It seems to me there is something fundamentally wrong with allowing a foreign system of law to even take hold in any municipality or government situation in our United States.”
— Sharron Angle, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Voice in the Desert: Tea Sipppin' Sarah

The Woodstock of the Disgruntled was held last weekend in Searchlight, Nevada. Star of the shindig: former Temp-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Appropriately, Mrs. Palin sounded quite shrill.

The best coverage of the event was by a media “Odd Couple,” Voice of America and Al Jazeera English.

Obama’s Dangerous Message to Our Children

Obama's Dangerous Mesage to Our Children

School begins for our nation’s children. What’s the biggest danger they confront: drugs, gangs, flu, cooties, dropping out, crumbling classrooms, bullies, big classes, bad teaching, dorky-looking gym suits?

No.

It is a live video visit from the so-called “President of the United States,” THE OBAMA, apparently some kind of space alien carrying a brain-eating contagion that feeds on the minds of our young.

Federal Education Inculcator Arne Duncan admits that The Obama entity will speak directly to innocent kids on September 8th and “challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.”

Real Americans know what that means:
