BREAKING: New Court Document Leak Reveals Driving Force Behind Fox News’ Decision to ‘Move On’ from Trump

 Trending Politics  "A new court document leak from the lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems sheds new light on the network’s decision to ‘move on’ from Donald Trump.

"The document leak comes amidst a significant shakeup to the talent aired on the network. Tucker Carlson, the most-watched host on primetime cable news, was pushed out of his position as host of the flagship show on the network in the 8 P.M. slot.

"While Fox News did not provide immediate explanation about why the network decided to part ways with its top primetime host Tucker Carlson, reports began to surface that Rupert Murdoch was behind the decision.

“ 'Carlson’s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer fired by the network last month,” the L.A. Times earlier reported.

“ 'Murdoch is also said to be concerned over Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, in which the host has promoted the conspiracy theory that it was provoked by government agents,” the report added.

"In the background, however, is a looming presence that has become quite influential with the Fox News’ top brass: Former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.

"According to a recently leaked court document from Dominion Voting System’s lawsuit against Fox News, Ryan has been an influential force behind the network’s decision to move on from Donald Trump.". . .

Chinese State Media Mocks 'Incompetence' of Biden After Kabul Attack (newsweek.com)

The Global Times, a daily tabloid published by the ruling Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily, published a Friday opinion article written by its editorial staff titled, "Biden wants to save face, but Kabul airport attacks prove his incompetence."

REPORT: Here’s the Reason Tucker Carlson Is Out at Fox News

 REPORT: Here’s the Reason Tucker Carlson Is Out at Fox News – PJ Media


. . ."According to the report, Murdoch has been concerned about the host’s reporting on the January 6th Capitol riot. Carlson’s coverage of the riot included presenting footage not shown by the January 6 committee. Among other things, the footage shows Capitol Police escorting the so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley around the Capitol and letting him into spaces. This footage prompted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others to call for Chansley to get a retrial. “Jacob Chansley deserves a retrial,” she tweeted. “All he did was nonviolently walk through the Capital [sic] wearing a costume while being escorted by Capital [sic] Police. I’m sick of the lies and the double standard.”

"Other footage presented by Carlson showed Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick walking around after the riot, contradicting liberal claims that he was killed during the violence. Tucker also reported on evidence that suggested that federal agents may have been the ones who incited the violence. According to court documents, the undercover agents seen in body cam footage were not only observing but actively encouraging the protesters with chants like “Go! Go! Go!” “Stop the Steal!” and “Whose House? Our House!' ”. . .


Secret Service Agent Wishes Hillary “Good Morning”… She Responds With These 2 DISGUSTINGLY FOUL Words

 Dino Porrazzo   . . .“Good morning, ma’am,” a member of the uniformed Secret Service once greeted Hillary Clinton.

“F*** off,” she replied.". . .

. . ."That exchange is one among many that active and retired Secret Service agents shared with Ronald Kessler, author of First Family Detail, a compelling look at the intrepid personnel who shield America’s presidents and their families — and at those whom they guard.

"Kessler writes flatteringly and critically about people in both parties. Regarding the Clintons, Kessler presents Chelsea as a model protectee who respected and appreciated her agents.

"He describes Bill as a difficult chief executive, but an easygoing ex-president. And Kessler exposes Hillary as an abusive Arctic monster.

“ 'When in public, Hillary smiles and acts graciously,” Kessler explains. “

“ 'As soon as the cameras are gone, her angry personality, nastiness, and imperiousness become evident.” He adds: “Hillary Clinton can make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi.' ”

More Family Members Named In Biden Pay-For Play-Scandal -

 The Lid


. . ."If you remember, Treasury fought like HELL to keep GOP oversight from getting their hands on the 150 or more suspicious activity reports connected to the Biden family. But now that the GOP holds the gavel, they’ve run out of ways to stonewall. Members went to the Treasury building and reviewed a thick stack of information incriminating to the Biden family, with none other than Joe Biden serving as the hub of the wheel around which the others turned.

"Rep Comer was on Larry Kudlow’s show, explaining the visit. Here’s the short version where he’s talking about the thousands of pages of financial documents that implicate more family members than previously mentioned in what appears to be pay-for-play politicking, as well as a number of shell companies and exciting details.

"Here are comments from another member of the oversight committee, Nancy Mace (R-SC)"

About Tucker Carlson

Could the end of Tucker's reign at Fox News have been part of the Fox-Dominion settlement?  Inquiring minds would like to know. Given the curious signals from Fox that it has decided to forego profits for political correctness, is Don Lemon headed to Fox to be Tucker's replacement? David Zukerman

 Tucker’s departure has been brewing a long time. So has his next move. - Thomas Lifson    Both Tucker Carlson and Fox News remain mum on the departure of Fox News’s most popular host beyond the terse initial announcement. While I have little doubt that Tucker was fired because he promised to see viewers on Monday during what ended up as his final broadcast last Friday, there have been intriguing signs that he was chafing under the Fox News yoke and may even welcome the circumstances of his departure.". . .

. . ."Tucker’s former colleagues Dan Bongino and Megyn Kelly already are prominent as streaming podcast hosts, along with Joe Rogan, whose audience far exceeds that of any Fox program. Carlson could go it alone or attempt to add some of these figures and others, like Glenn Greenwald and Tulsi Gabbard, to his platform.

"The greatest insight on the issues weighing heavily on Tucker’s mind as he contemplates how to spend the rest of his professional life might come from the amazingly frank interview he did with podcaster Kyle Forgeard. Selected excerpts, my commentary, and the entire podcast are available here."

We Have to Stop Joe Biden

 Katie Pavlich


"It’s official. President Joe Biden is running for re-election and taking Vice President Kamala Harris along with him. 

In only two years at the White House, Biden has caused enormous damage to the country, threatened U.S. national security and weakened America throughout the world with his disastrous foreign policy. 

"In his re-election video, Biden claims he’s standing up for the freedoms of Americans. Reality and Biden’s actions tell a different story. 

"Biden has repeatedly targeted political opponents with the full force of the federal government and violated the fundamental rights of Americans. He’s destroyed the economy with sky-high inflation, implemented Marxist policies in the mortgage system (which will lead to another housing crisis) and forced hardworking Americans to pay off the student debt of wealthy degree holders. He’s made it a habit of tearing down fundamental American values about hard work and personal responsibility. All of this while partnering with his son Hunter to sell out the country to foreign adversaries. 

"Biden talks about freedom, yet he’s targeting your Second Amendment rights with calls for gun bans and by signing executive orders. Government bureaucrats, with his endorsement, have violated the First Amendment through Big Tech censorship. Not to mention his efforts to fire thousands of Americans after they said no thank you to an ineffective vaccine. 

"Since taking office in January 2021, Townhall has been holding President Biden and his administration accountable. While most in the media endorse his policies, we expose them."... 

 Donald Trump Savages Joe Biden Ahead of His Reelection Announcement With Blistering Statement (townhall.com) . . . "Thanks to Joe Biden’s socialist spending calamity, American families are being decimated by the worst inflation in half a century. Banks are failing. Our currency is crashing and the dollar will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat in over 200 years. Real wages have been falling 24 months in a row—in other words, under Biden, workers have gotten a PAY CUT each and every month for two straight years," Trump highlighted about Biden and the economy. "We have surrendered our energy independence, just like we surrendered in Afghanistan, which we had just a short time ago—and the price of gasoline just hit a 5-month high, and it’s going much higher than that," he wrote, also highlighting energy and foreign policy issues.". . . 

Meet Biden's reelection team:  . . ."Today, President Biden also announced initial campaign leadership. Congresswoman Lisa Blunt-Rochester, Congressman Jim Clyburn, Senator Chris Coons, Senator Tammy Duckworth, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer will serve as the campaign’s national co-chairs. 

"Julie Chávez Rodríguez will serve as Campaign Manager and Quentin Fulks will serve as Principal Deputy Campaign Manager.  This team forms the backbone of a campaign that will be focused on building and expanding on the coalition that sent President Biden and Vice President Harris to the White House in 2020 with more votes than any Presidential ticket in our country’s history. "

Afghanistan Surrender Was A Tragedy Biden Caused; Now He's Blaming Others - The Lid (lidblog.com)   . . ."The White House argued its hands were tied because the Trump administration negotiated a withdrawal from Afghanistan yet failed to provide plans for its implementation. Despite what his allies claim, Trump’s Afghanistan policy was erratic at best, but Biden — who’s been wrong for several decades on foreign affairs — embraced a worse policy.

"He could have easily tossed out Trump’s plans. After all, in the opening days of his presidency, Biden overturned dozens of Trump-era policies, including the Keystone XL Pipeline, our 2017 withdrawal from the Paris climate scam, and Biden naively restarted negotiations on the toothless Iranian nuclear deal. If you don’t reverse it, you own it, Joe."

Top officials warned Biden admin about dangers wind energy projects pose to fishing industry, letter shows

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

Fox News  "The executive directors of three federally established fishery councils along the East Coast expressed concern last year about the threats posed by offshore wind energy projects.

"In an Aug. 22 letter to former Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Amanda Lefton, the three officials — who respectively lead the New England, Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils — expressed concern about current processes for approving offshore wind development. They also made a series of recommendations to help the federal government mitigate impacts on fisheries.

" 'As we have stated in several past comment letters to BOEM, we are very concerned about the cumulative impacts of multiple wind energy projects on the fisheries we manage," they stated in the letter. "The multiple wind energy projects planned along the east coast will have cumulative and compounding effects on our fisheries.

"In addition, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, which represents the region encompassing the entire West Coast, penned its own letter to Lefton, similarly warning about the impacts of offshore wind development on fisheries.". . .
