Tucker Carlson 'blindsided by Fox News firing that was a direct order from Rupert Murdoch after Jan 6 conspiracy claims and producer's lawsuit alleging bullying, sexism and anti-Semitism' - and his exit erases $500M in value

While conservatives mourned him, liberals like those at The View celebrated the announcement gleefully. Whoopi Goldberg announced the news, before Ana Navarro - one of the panel's few Republican hosts - led the audience in a chant of 'hey, hey, hey, goodbye!'  

 Home | Daily Mail Online   "Tucker Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com. 

"Even some of his closest staff were unaware that his show had been axed, reading about it for the first time on Twitter. 

" 'No one I know was told about it beforehand. We were blindsided,' one senior staffer who works closely with Tucker's show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, told DailyMail.com

"Another insider revealed he still has no idea why he was let go so suddenly, and that many staffers are now questioning whether it's part of a wider plan by the Murdoch family to sell the media behemoth. 

" 'Tucker still hasn't been given any indication of why he was taken off the air. His producer Justin Wells was fired too.

" 'We believe Rupert wants to sell the company and it's harder to find an institutional buyer with Tucker as the main star. 

" 'Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy,' the source said. ".    . .

RFK Jr. Is the Thorn We Need in Joe Biden's Side for 2024

  PJ Media

RFK Jr. may not be the Kennedy that the Democrats want, but he’s the one the Republicans are going to have a lot of fun watching in 2024.

"The United States of America is currently burdened by the fact that Joe Biden’s handlers want him to be in office until he’s 612 years old. Given the fact that the Dems don’t care if their elected officials are demented, debilitated, or — in some cases — dead, it’s difficult to see how to get rid of their walking wounded.

"Enter one Robert Francis Kennedy Jr.

"We all knew that President LOLEightyonemillion was going to get a primary challenge or two. Republicans have been hoping for someone substantive to run against Biden. Getting a Kennedy in the opposition is almost a lottery win.". . .

"His presence in the 2024 Democratic campaign puts every bit of COVID fiction that Joe Biden ran on in 2020 on political trial. RFK Jr. is running as a throwback to his ancestral Democratic heritage. Yeah, they were lefties, but they weren’t fascists. COVID Joe Biden is a fascist. Whether he says it or not, RFK the Younger is heavily implying it.

"Biden can’t merely brush a Kennedy aside. His party spent decades circling the wagons around RFK Jr.’s Uncle Teddy after he let an intern he was having an affair with drown. "They’re all in on this family."...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is Pretty Open About His Rare Voice Disorder (msn.com) ..."And it's obvious that when it comes to the Kennedys, almost anything can happen. Bizarre tragedies plague this family but not all of their issues are dire. According to media outlets Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suffers from a rare voice disorder that makes it difficult to speak at times. "Here's what we know about the disease — and what Robert has said about his voice. 

WATCH: Bill Maher Asks Why Black Celebrities Never Talk About Black-on-Black Violence –

Also, it’s worth noting that some courageous black celebrities do, in fact, address black-on-black crime. Presidential candidate Larry Elder immediately comes to mind, as do Candace Owens and the artist formerly known as Kanye West. 

  PJ Media  . . ."Maher: “Most of the shootings [in Chicago] are young black men killing other young black men. Is that not correct?”

"Guest: “Yeah that’s correct.”

"Maher: “Okay, much more than what the cops do. Why doesn’t anybody talk about that? Why aren’t there a hundred giant black celebrities who would have the respect of those people saying what are you doing to yourselves? Why are you killing each other?”

"The answer, of course, is that addressing black-on-black crime does not further the narrative that White Supremacy™ is the sole source of everything wrong in the entire history of the world.

"Often the corporate media will blame White Supremacy™ for rampant black-on-black crime in any of America’s cities, arguing that poverty breeds criminality and that white people are responsible for black poverty, ergo black-on-black crime is white people’s fault.

"In other instances, they’ll claim the phenomenon of widespread black-on-black crime is actually a myth, and that it doesn’t exist at all.". . .

. . ."All of them are regularly smeared in the mainstream press as “Uncle Toms” – the pejorative term for black people who are perceived to act as collaborators with white oppressors.

"For all these reasons and more, black celebrities interested in staying in the good graces of polite liberal society keep their mouths shut and stick to the anti-white script."

Shock revelation: Afghanistan is back as terrorist central!

 Shock revelation: Afghanistan is back as terrorist central! – HotAir  

. . ."To be honest, it’s not even news that this happened. Everybody with half a brain knew that it was going to happen, so while the details are indeed important and worth diving into, the real news is that the Washington Post is reporting on an obvious failure of the Biden Administration.

This suggests that there is an active effort to replace Joe Biden at the top of the Democrat Party, which again is hardly shocking. Prepare for the Gavin Newsom presidential campaign, which is obviously gearing up.

Less than two years after President Biden withdrew U.S. personnel from Afghanistan, the country has become a significant coordination site for the Islamic State as the terrorist group plans attacks across Europe and Asia, and conducts “aspirational plotting” against the United States, according to a classified Pentagon assessment that portrays the threat as a growing security concern.

The attack planning, detailed in U.S. intelligence findings leaked on the Discord messaging platform and obtained by The Washington Post, reveal specific efforts to target embassies, churches, business centers and the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament, which drew more than 2 million spectators last summer in Qatar. Pentagon officials were aware in December of nine such plots coordinated by ISIS leaders in Afghanistan, and the number rose to 15 by February, says the assessment, which has not been disclosed previously.

“ISIS has been developing a cost-effective model for external operations that relies on resources from outside Afghanistan, operatives in target countries, and extensive facilitation networks,” says the assessment, which is labeled top-secret and bears the logos of several Defense Department organizations. “The model will likely enable ISIS to overcome obstacles — such as competent security services — and reduce some plot timelines, minimizing disruption opportunities.”

President Joe Biden Strands Thousands of Americans in Sudan with No Evacuation Plan Amid Embassy Disaster (trendingpoliticsnews.com)   Simon Ateba, the oft-ignored by Karine Jean-Pierre, and Chief White House Correspondent at Today news Africa, reported there may be thousands of Americans stranded in Sudan. . . .“With the US Embassy shut and government personnel evacuated, it’s difficult to coordinate the evacuation of other Americans stranded in Sudan,” he added. “Many relatives worried as another US embassy shut.”. . . “With the US Embassy shut and government personnel evacuated, it’s difficult to coordinate the evacuation of other Americans stranded in Sudan,” he added. “Many relatives worried as another US embassy shut.”

"The State Department revealed as many as 14,000 Americans were left behind after President Joe Biden ordered a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Millions of dollars in U.S. military equipment was abandoned and came into the possession of the Taliban."

Small wonder Ms. Pierre avoids calling on Mr. Pierre.

Thirty Percent of Young Liberals Now Identify as LGBT - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  . . ."In this social environment where so many young people are identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, there is social pressure to conform. One way this manifests is in the increasing numbers of girls and young women who are identifying as transgender. A 2018 study from Brown University found that “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” among young women could be linked to friends who identify as LGBT, and therefore might be a social contagion, or something that is copied by those exposed to the behavior.

Why Liberals Are So Obsessed With Racism, Homosexuality and Transsexualism (townhall.com) "Conservatives care about logic. Liberals care about emotion. Conservatives care about whether a program works or not. Liberals care about how supporting a program makes them feel. Conservatives take the positions they do because they believe they’re best for society.

Maybe Joe Biden Shouldn't Run for President -

 19FortyFive  . . ."The Post added that “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor Democratic primary debates.” 

"The report added that “Democratic donors are being invited to Washington, D.C., with strategy sessions planned.' ”. . .

This Fact Proves Biden's Foreign Policy is an Epic Disaster (townhall.com)  . . ."Over the weekend President Joe Biden abandoned the U.S. Embassy in Sudan as violence inside the country continues to rage. 

"While embassy staff was evacuated, thousands of Americans in the country were left behind. 

"Sudan marks the third U.S. Embassy Biden has abandoned since taking office in January 2021. In August 2021, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul was overrun by Taliban fighters during the catastrophic and chaotic U.S. exit from the country. Thousands of Americans were and still are trapped behind enemy lines. In February 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Kiev was temporarily closed for business after Biden failed to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading the country. 

"But it wasn't long ago that things weren't this way, as Republican Congressman Michael Waltz points out. Sudan signed onto the Abraham Accords just before President Trump left office." 

Don the Lemon. Tucker gone; AOC and Jen Psaki stay: America's IQ just tumbled some more.

Psaki Lets AOC Claim Tucker Incites Violence, Regulate TV News | Newsbusters  . . ."After AOC said that, Psaki refused to push back on her false claims and totalitarian calls for regulation of an independent news organization. Instead, Psaki simply moved on to another topic and let AOC's comments sit with the audience.". . . 

The anti-white vitriol from Joy Reid, however, is just fine. One has to fear for this once-great country and the wisdom we seek from our people and the news media. American voters once came out in droves to listen to political debates over national affairs in person.

AOC accuses Tucker Carlson of ‘very, very clearly’ inciting violence, flaunts her stunning ignorance of government regulation - American Thinker  "It will surprise absolutely no one who reads American Thinker to learn that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is utterly ignorant on a topic she discussed in an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC and that she flung baseless serious charges at a leading conservative while offering no evidence whatsoever.

"Pam Key of Breitbart took one for the team and watched the entire 17-and-a-half-minute interview, so you don’t have to endure the flaming idiocy.  Here are the key words:". . .

. . ."As a lawmaker, Ocasio-Cortez ought to know that Fox News is not broadcast television. It is distributed via cable, satellite, and streaming services. It has no FCC licenses the way that terrestrial broadcast stations, such as those carrying NBC programming, do. This is elementary and fundamental to understanding the video business and has been the case since the dawn of cable television. It boggles the mind that someone so frequently appearing on television screens would not grasp this basic point.

"And the fact that Jen Psaki, who has the experience that should have informed her of this elementary distinction, let the misinformation be spread on her program is appalling. Where are the purported “misinformation experts” denouncing this and calling for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to censor Psaki?". . .

Well, the teenybopper got her way: Tucker Carlson Leaving Fox News, Last Show Was Friday (tampafp.com)   . . ."Carlson joined Fox News in 2009 as a political analyst. He launched his own show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, in 2016. The show is one of the most popular on Fox News, and Carlson is one of the most influential conservative voices in the United States.

"Carlson is a controversial figure. He has been criticized for his often inflammatory rhetoric, his promotion of conspiracy theories, and his attacks on immigrants, women, and minorities.

"He is also a popular figure among many conservatives, who admire his willingness to speak his mind and challenge the status quo."

Tucker Carlson Out At Fox News – Deadline  "Carlson’s exit comes less than a week after Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle the election software company’s defamation claim. Carlson was to be among the witnesses to testify if the case had come to trial.

Don Lemon on Twitter: "https://t.co/8PyLqvS0d7" / Twitter  The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career at CNN. 

 Don Lemon fired from CNN following allegations he mistreated female colleagues - Akahi News  . . ."Also, earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air. 

"CNN CEO Chris Licht said that the network and Lemon have “parted ways,” according to a memo provided to NBC News Monday.

“ 'Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” the statement said. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

"Lemon has been with CNN since 2006, joining the network after anchoring at NBC Chicago and working as a correspondent for NBC News, the “TODAY” show and “NBC Nightly News.”

"Lemon first came under fire in February during a segment on “CNN This Morning” in which he remarked that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, was no longer in her “prime.” The comment was made while discussing a suggestion by Haley that candidates over the age of 75 should be subjected to mental competency exams.

“ 'Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry,” Lemon said. “When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.”

Susan Rice to step down as Biden's domestic policy chief

 MSN Could Biden's terrible effect on our nation be from Susan Rice?

"The move brings to a close Rice’s prolific, wide-ranging and at times controversial tenure overseeing Biden’s domestic agenda — including some of the thorniest political issues, such as immigration policy. During her more than two years in the role, Biden has signed executive and legislative actions on health care, gun safety, student loans, policing and other key priorities for Democrats.

"Rice’s last day in the White House will be May 26, according to a senior administration official.

"White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said Rice, who served as national security adviser during the Obama administration, has been critical to driving Biden’s agenda and has taken the Domestic Policy Council “to new heights.”

“ 'It is extraordinary when you think about what she’s done in terms of public service across her career, capped off by being the first person ever to be the national security adviser and domestic policy adviser,” said Zients, who has known Rice since high school. “It really speaks a lot to her leadership and her range.”

"The process for Biden to select Rice’s successor will include candidates both inside and outside the White House, a second senior administration official said.". . .
