Kamala wins again!
Tucker Carlson blows up the world this weekend and, I think, Fox News is regretting their decision to get rid of him.
And everything is racist!
Dumbass of the Day
Congrats to Kamala for winning Dumbass of the Day for the third show in a row! Listen to this obvious flub:
Here’s an ad from Progressive Action Fund:
Tucker On Fire!
I miss Tucker on Fox News so much. I never realized how much Fox News I don’t give a damn about until Tucker left. I have stopped watching Fox News. I get my news from the Internet now which has expanded my vision a bit.
Apparently, I’m not the only one. According to Red State:
I think it’s fair to say that cutting Tucker Carlson from its lineup has had a pretty bad effect on Fox News.
Fox has taken some big hits in the ratings and the base is royally ticked off, with many saying they’ve given up on the network.
On Friday, there was a report that the remaining staffers who had worked with Tucker Carlson were going to be “frog-marched” out the door, seemingly treating the employees badly who had done so much for the network with Carlson, with HR waiting outside the show when they finished on Friday to walk them out. One producer reportedly called it “degrading.”
This is the typical Leftist process. This is what they do. My father always said Fox was not Conservative. I guess he was right.
The article continues:
But now, Carlson’s biographer Chadwick Moore reports that there were more “company-wide” layoffs quietly happening at Fox.
According to a current senior producer at Fox News there are company-wide layoffs happening right now that no one is reporting on. “Morale miserable across teams on both news and opinion,” the producer says.
Producers are also feeling “insulted” about getting 0 or 1% increases the same week Abby Grossberg got $12m “for helping force out Tucker.”
The source also says shows are getting “frantic, bipolar guidance almost daily on blacklisted and unblacklisted guests, including sitting members of the Senate.”
We reported layoffs in May, after Carlson was cut in April. They’re also having to deal with the Dominion settlement.
Now, Rolling Stone is reporting that the floundering network is dispensing with its investigative unit in an effort to trim costs — with more layoffs potentially looming.
“The rank and file journalists are getting let go. Meanwhile, upper management are sitting pretty while they are the execs responsible for the Dominion debacle,” one Fox employee tells Rolling Stone, which has confirmed the unit has been axed. “We are the sacrificial lambs.”
“Yes, [layoffs] have happened,” another staffer confirms. “And continue to happen.”
None of this is a shock. By canning Tucker because he had right-of-center opinions that hit home, everything else looks inauthentic and one sees the hypocrisies. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram and the rest of the “conservative” staff don’t look so Conservative anymore. They look fake. Why bother watching?
You Get What You Vote For
This is something a lot of people do not understand when voting. We have to watch for tyrants. They are everywhere, Republican and Democrat. But, one thing we can be certain of, Leftists are tyrants and they should never be anywhere near power. They will spend their entire term trying to take away your rights. They would throw you in a gulag if they could.
But, for some reason, people keep voting for these monsters. Here’s another case.
According to the Gateway Pundit:
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, is facing criticism for “Nixonian tactics” after her administration admitted to creating a list of her most vocal critics and providing it to local authorities.
I do want to point something out, Michelle Wu is a complete f-ing moron. hat’s what makes her dangerous.
“The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events,” Wu spokesman Ricardo Patron said in a statement to the Boston Herald.
So, she’s on public property, doing public events and no one who dislikes her is allowed to protest? Hmm, seems like there is something in the Constitution about that.
Also, notice that people are protesting at her home. Interesting. Someone went to Bret Kavanaugh’s house to kill him and that was found to be OK with everyone.
The acknowledgment by the administration that it had compiled the document came after the list was uncovered in an email obtained through a public records request by Wu’s opponents, the outlet noted.
The tactics used by the administration raise concern over whether Wu and her administration are attempting to silence or intimidate her critics, many of whom have protested outside of her home.
Attempting? Of course they are. Who’s kidding who. She sent the information to the police so they’d arrest people. Why else would she?
“The request (from police) came after many of the individuals on the list repeatedly impeded the Dorchester Day Parade to harass Mayor Wu and her family and staff, yelling through megaphones at her and her children for nearly ninety minutes as they marched in the parade despite being asked by parade organizers to leave the parade route,” Patron said, according to the Herald.
That’s called peaceful protest. It is in the Constitution. These people are so overtly tyrants but those people keep voting for them.

She Did Do Very Well
Here’s another example of looking for racism where there is not racism. This time it involves two entertainers I really like: Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs.
According to TMZ:
Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s hit, “Fast Car,” has been dominating the country charts — but amid its success … some have wondered if racism is afoot in the genre.
Here’s the deal … think pieces have been published of late that delve into this topic — including one from WaPo, which really kick-started this conversation — and they’re all posing the same question … why didn’t TC resonate with the same audience Luke has???
The answer that a lot of these articles seem to land on — after interviewing subjects, etc. — is that, even today, it’s hard for Black artists to break through in country. And they’re using the example of Luke thrusting new life into “Fast Car” as their exhibit A for that argument.
Of course, in reaching this conclusion … the word “racism” is getting thrown around a lot.
In fact, the author of the WaPo article put it quite succinctly in promoting her work — writing, “As Luke Combs’s hit cover of Tracy Chapman’s ‘Fast Car’ dominates the country charts, it’s bringing up some complicated emotions in fans & singers who know that Chapman, as a queer Black woman, would have an almost zero chance at that achievement herself.”
There are some problems with this whole argument:
- The song was #6 on Billboards top 100 in 1988.
- She was nominated for 7 Grammys in 1989 and 1990.
- She won three Grammys that year including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best New Artist.
- She’s worth over $6 million because of that ONE song.
No one knew who she was. She came out of nowhere, just because of that one song. She is the definition of “one hit wonder”.
Luke Combs, on the other hand, is a huge country singer and loves that song so much, he gave it tribute by remaking it. This is not pointed out at all. He made the song big again and he didn’t even change the song at all. It is the same song and I’m pretty sure he had to get permission to do it from Tracy Chapman!
Good news, though. TMZ pointed this all out. So good for them!
