In important ways, Carlson is extending Orwell’s famous maxim that “during times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” And as others — including very recently myself — have done, he’s putting to words and voice his refusal to surrender to those very “new new things, poisonous things, silly things” that we’re being told, without hesitation, that we must and will conform to.
Tucker Carlson out at Fox News.
Rumors have swirled that he was looking to leave since they stopped him airing more January 6 video after just a couple of nights, but I don’t know if that’s why he’s leaving or not.
The stock’s falling, leading an acquaintance to comment “$800m settlement for the vote fraud stuff with Dominion, and FOX just zapped $1bil from its market cap in the last 10 min.”
There's now literally no reason to watch Fox News.

Robert Barnes: End of @TuckerCarlson at @FoxNews may be the beginning of the end for the network itself, which is why stock dropped worse than Dominion settlement, and cost Fox more than Dominion settlement. Fox already known as the geriatric network, and Tucker was ONLY means of young viewers.
Bottom story of the day: Don Lemon also out at CNN
As part of Zimbabwe’s ongoing struggle to stave off a return to the dark ages, it recently began minting and selling gold coins. Some pundits are claiming that this heralds a return to a gold standard, but that would require paper currency denominated in a weight of gold with redemption for gold upon request. So far, these clowns seem to have all that completely backwards. Is there any hope for this train wreck of a nation?
The “Mosi-oa-tunya” coin, named after Victoria falls, can be converted into cash and be traded locally and internationally, the central bank said.
Last week, Zimbabwe more than doubled its policy rate to 200% from 80% and outlined plans to make the U.S. dollar legal tender for the next five years to boost confidence.
Annual inflation, which hit almost 192% in June, cast a shadow over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid to revitalise the economy.
Didn’t Biden say, “We’re not going to turn the faucet off and say we’re not drilling anymore?”
Well, on April 21, his Interior Secretary was singing from a different choirbook. But “We’re in a climate crisis, everyone,” she noted.
I’m down with one of my eyestrain attacks, so blogging will be slow on my part for at least a few hours.
Meet Shae. Lovely chap.
Trudeau’s Canada: Life in socialist British Columbia. The Paris synagogue bombing. The Chinese colony of Canada. MPs want the VW fine print.
Biden’s America: A castle crumbles. The Biden crime family. Make America California. Prepping America for genocide. All the President’s Islamists. Your morning meme.
Global Warming Scam News: Killing off the whales to save the planet. A related meme.
Woke Britain: Eco-terrorists charged. And Islamic culture in the UK.
Victor Davis Hanson on the question, whether we even know that we are all socialists now.
This pilot study compared mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with mothers of normal boys to determine whether differences in psychopathology and child-rearing attitudes and practices could be identified. Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the Beck Depression Inventory revealed that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder on the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines or had symptoms of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory. Results of the Summers and Walsh Symbiosis Scale suggested that mothers of probands had child-rearing attitudes and practices that encouraged symbiosis and discouraged the development of autonomy.
Incidentally, given that Justin Trudeau’s mother, Margaret, had … ummm … some “challenges”, might this explain how her son turned out? Asking for a friend.

Jordan Peterson interviews Minnesota doctor Scott Jensen regarding his lengthy harassment at the hands of medical licensing officials. His crime? To push back against the CDC’s instruction, trotted out at the beginning of the pandemic, to “adjust” death certificates to inflate Covid numbers. If a deceased patient had symptoms of Covid, doctors were given the green light to list the cause of death as Covid instead of trying to determine if it was the primary cause of death, a contributing factor, or unrelated.
Biden on Friday morning announced the U.S. government’s “first-ever Environmental Justice Scorecard,” a “new government-wide assessment of federal agencies’ efforts to advance environmental justice.” Included in the project is the Department of Defense, which Biden will grade on its work to address “environmental, climate-related, and cumulative impacts on communities with environmental justice concerns.”
The department’s first scorecard highlights some of that work. The Navy, for example, organized the traffic flow at one of its docks at Pearl Harbor in a way that “minimizes impacts on historically overburdened communities,” according to the scorecard. The Navy also adjusted a “modernization project” at its Fallon Range Training Complex, which hosts pre-deployment combat training for both air and ground forces, to “respond to several Tribal concerns,” the card says. The scorecard goes on to commend the Department of Defense for hosting “40 internal training(s) for staff on environmental justice” and hiring “at least 640 staff that work on environmental justice,” though it does ding the department for not updating its “environmental justice strategic plan” in the last five years.
