Charlie Kirk Stood Up To Islam

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

“Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America,” Charlie Kirk tweeted. It was typical of the bold incisive rhetoric that terrified and infuriated the Left. And got him killed.

It was also the kind of direct truth that few on the right were willing to speak out loud.

Charlie Kirk continued to discuss our reporting on the Islamic genocide against Christians at a time when hardly anyone else would. And with his death, one of the most prominent voices still willing to challenge the Islamic invasion of America and its war on the world was silenced.

“Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria in the last 15 years? Weird how that never gets any attention. Wonder why,”  Charlie Kirk tweeted while linking to our Front Page Magazine article on the African genocide.


Not only are there far too few prominent figures on the right still willing to discuss the Muslim murder of Christians, but some of the most vocal voices laying claim to Charlie’s legacy, like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, claim to care about Christians, but refuse to discuss Islamic violence and appear to spend most of their time promoting Islamic propaganda instead.

“Islam is not compatible with western civilization,” Charlie Kirk tweeted in June of this year.


Tucker Carlson had a very different perspective, arguing that Sharia law was great and leads to a wonderful society where “the rape rate is zero.”

“I remember after 9/11 when I was like, you know, all about attacking Islam,” Tucker said, recanting his past criticism of Islam. “I knew nothing about Islam. I’m not Muslim, by the way.”

Then he praised the idea of submitting to Allah. While Charlie Kirk stood up to Islam, Tucker Carlson submitted to it.

Much of the recent focus has been on Tucker Carlson’s comments about Israel, but that’s putting things in the wrong order. Before Tucker began attacking Israel, he had begun praising Islam and the Muslim oil tyrannies funding the subversion of America. His subsequent defenses of Hamas and Hezbollah proceeded from that, not from ‘antisemitism’ or any interest in Israel.

Tucker Carlson doesn’t hate Jews. He just says whatever the Saudis, Qataris and other wealthy Muslim tyrannies want to hear, whether it’s praising their rulers or defending Islamic terrorists.

At the beginning of 2025, Tucker claimed that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf were a “glimpse of what the future holds” and urged his listeners to follow him to the Muslim dictatorship where churches were banned and which had supplied the hijackers who carried out 9/11.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in the Gulf. I think it’s one of the most amazing places on planet Earth,” Tucker gushed. And for a guy who once claimed to embrace the MAGA movement (before texting, “we are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights” and “I hate him passionately”) Tucker really was spending a whole lot of his time abroad in the Muslim world.

Charlie Kirk described the Saudis more succinctly and accurately as “a group of radical Islamist Bedouin tribes that struck liquid gold”.

But Tucker Carlson wasn’t just playing tourist, he was pandering to Muslim tyrants.  Tucker returned to Dubai and lavished shameless praise on the UAE’s tyrant as a “wise leader unlike any other president I have met.”

That would presumably include President Trump.

“I have spoken to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan several times, and I have never heard a world leader speak with such humility and wisdom,” Tucker Carlson flattered.

After 9/11, Rudy Giuliani had sent Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal packing and rejected his $10 million check. Tucker Carlson however sat down for another fawning interview with Alwaleed in which he agreed that monarchy was better than democracy.

There was hardly an oil-rich Muslim dictator whom Tucker Carlson didn’t laud as the greatest.

“Sheikh Mohammed, the Prime Minister of Qatar, is a good man. He’s a special guy. He really is. And he really cares,” Tucker Carlson assured his audience. And the Qataris, who funded the Muslim Brotherhood, and harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11? “They’re good, decent people.”

Charlie Kirk believed that, “Islam is not compatible with western civilization” while Tucker Carlson appeared to believe that Islam was superior to western civilization. Just as significant as what Tucker was talking about, the greatness of the Muslim world, were the things he was not talking about. The mass arrests of protesters against the Islamization of the UK were a major agenda item for Turning Point UK, but were invisible to those listening to Tucker.

Charlie Kirk had called out Islam as a threat to America and a Christian future while Tucker’s pandering to Islam was a betrayal of America, Christianity and all of western civilization.

After losing his FOX News show and being forced to find a new business model, Tucker Carlson switched from attacking Islam to praising it. In 2019, Muslim Advocates had demanded that FOX News fire Tucker for his “Islamophobic” attacks against Rep. Ilhan Omar. In 2020, Tucker Carlson had mocked Biden for pandering to Muslims by praising the Koran.

Three years later, Tucker sounded just like Biden and so many other useful idiots did.

About the only time Tucker Carlson featured Islamic terrorism was to minimize or to deny its existence whether in Israel on Oct 7 or in America on 9/11. It’s not that Tucker didn’t know what was taking place. On his old FOX News show, Tucker had spoken forthrightly against Islam. On his new show, he pandered to Islam, praised Sharia and submission to Allah.

Could Charlie Kirk have profited from joining Tucker in pandering to Islam? No doubt.

But he refused to do it.

There was a time when Tucker Carlson stood up to Islam, but that time is long past. Tucker wants to take Charlie’s legacy, but lacks his courage. Contrary to what Barack Obama and Tucker Carlson tell us, the future will not belong to those who submit to Islam, but those who defy it. Even when they are murdered, the courage of those who defy Islam lives on while the cowardice of those who submit to it destroys everything else that they do.

Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson both in their own way showed us that we all have a choice between courage and cowardice, between standing on our feet and getting on our knees, between strength and submission.

Editor's Note:  I can't even begin to understand why Tucker Carlson was invited to speak at Charlie Kirk's memorial, which was considered "unhinged" by some, and who made that decision.  I've also concluded there's something seriously wrong with Tucker Carlson's mind.  RK

Pathetic Russia Analysis from Tucker Carlson

February 16, 2024 by Dan Mitchell @ Sultan Knish Blog

A few years ago, I explained why Tucker Carlson was wrong to cite Hungary a role model.

Today, let’s analyze why his (widely condemned) praise of Russia’s economy is utterly delusional.

We’ll start with the big-picture comparison based on data from the IMFMaddison, the UN, and World Bank. As you can see, Americans are far richer than their Russian counterparts.

The IMF and Maddison data are based on purchasing power parity, so they adjust for the fact that some things are less expensive in Russia (and the Maddison data is based on 2011 dollars, so those numbers would look more like the IMF numbers if based on today’s dollars).

The bottom line is that Americans should not envy the Russian economy, regardless of which data source one prefers.

 

This does not mean, by the way, that the U.S. economy is perfect. Or that America should be immune from criticism. Most of my professional life has been devoted to trying fix bad U.S. policies. Or trying to prevent new mistakes from happening!

But I’m very grateful that I live in a nation where policy is inadequate rather than a country where policy is terrible.

And even though I’m an economist, I’m also very aware that the United States is also much better when comparing basic political and social freedoms.

Is the U.S. perfect in those areas? My Victims-of-Government page confirms that we have some problems. That being said, we are far better than Russia (where 47-year old political dissidents mysteriously die in Siberian prisons).

Before concluding, let’s return to economic comparisons. Here’s a tweet that captures the difference between a rich country and a struggling country.

And I’ll also cite a few sentences from a 2022 column in the Washington Post by AEI’s Nicholas Eberstadt.


Putin is flailing against the history of modern economic development. The wealth of modern nations is overwhelmingly generated by human beings and their capabilities. Natural resources (land, energy and all the rest) have accounted for a shrinking share of global output for the past two centuries, with no end in sight. …for all its vaunted oil and gas riches, Russia’s export earnings last year were actually lower than Belgium’s. Like other Western democracies, Belgium manages to augment and unlock the economic value residing in human beings. Putin’s petro-kleptocracy is woefully inept on both counts. …

Since the invasion of Ukraine, some of Russia’s best talent has been voting with its feet, heading abroad any way it can. …the Russian system produces remarkably little private wealth. According to Credit Suisse, total private wealth in Russia in 2020 amounted to $3 trillion: one-ninth of Japan’s, one-sixth of Germany’s, and scarcely more than Sweden’s (a country with a population 14 times smaller).

The bottom line is that Russia is way behind the United States.

Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant or dishonest. Even those who assert equivalence are wildly wrong.

P.S. I did a similar column last year to show that China’s economy is still very backwards.

Thank You Tucker Carlson!

By Rich Kozlovich Tags:  P&D Geopolitics Edition: Russo/Ukrainian War, and Donald Trump

George Friedman owns Geopolitical Futures, a paid site to which I subscribe.  He occasionally publishes free articles that I can link.   This is one of them, Putin’s Perspective on the Russia-Ukraine War.  Understand, a negotiated peace under Putin's terms is for Ukraine to capitulate, so let's start with that foundational truth.  

George's article discusses Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin, which the left and their myrmidons in the media railed against, some calling it treason and some in the EU even wanted to charge him with a crime. Imagine that.

Ya just gotta hand it to leftists, they really are into freedom of speech and the press, provided you don't say anything they don't like or approve of. Then they want to either censor you, have you fired, or put you in jail.  Can anyone tell me how that makes them any different than what Putin does in Russia or Xi does in China?  At any rate George went on to say: 

Russian President Vladimir Putin did something unprecedented last week: He held a two-hour press conference directed at the American public. It was not exactly a press conference, in the sense that Tucker Carlson, a talk show host perceived as sympathetic toward Russia, was the only reporter present. But neither was it, strictly speaking, an interview, as for most of the program, Putin held forth without the benefit of questions. In a sense, this made it more valuable because it allowed Putin to set out his views in an interesting and important way that might not have been possible had Carlson asked questions that were focused on an American perspective.

For the most part, I agree, but George painted a bit kinder of a picture of Putin than I would have discussing at length Russian history, to which he really is quite expert, but the basis for virtually everything he said was to justify his illegal war against a nation that in no way was a threat to Russia.

Putin has, at least in my mind, clearly memorized and practiced these arguments to convince himself of the "sacredness" of his "mission", and make no mistake, if Trump had been President this would not have occurred.  Also, if he'd swept Ukraine, the Baltic States would have been next, in spite of the fact they're part of NATO, which destroys his so-called "fear" of NATO expansion argument, which I will come back to. 

This was all about revanche !!!!! All that history Putin orated about was misdirection, diversion, smoke and mirrors. Get over it.

George in the past has been an aficionado of Putin's "depth of defense" excuse for Russia attacking Ukraine.  NATO was too close, therefore Russia had to conquer Ukraine to defend against aggression, which I addressed in these two articles, Russia Was Scared, So They Had to Attack Ukraine! Part I and Russia Was Scared So They Had to Attack Ukraine, Part II.

So that bodes well the question: Aggression against Russia by who?   No one says!  In the entire history of Russia, it's never been safer or more secure from foreign invasion.  George goes on to note what's really behind Putin's arguments, and I think rightly so:

[Putin] argued that Ukraine had always been part of Russia, physically and linguistically. Unstated but implicit in his argument, Ukraine is Russia, and the invasion of Ukraine simply represents the Russian world’s return to an older reality. This is why, according to Putin, Russia’s actions in Ukraine constitute a special military operation and not an act of war. He also spoke of Poland, hinting that Poland and Lithuania are renegades whose roots are inseparable from Russia........[this] gives Russia the right to make claims on foreign territory..........He did, however, lay the foundation for Russian claims in Poland.

So, now we know this had nothing to do with "depth of defense", it was all about revanche after all. His goal in his attack was to restore lost territories to Russian control, and that's a story that went back and forth for centuries involving Kievan Rus history, the Mongols, Tatars, Teutonic Knights, and The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.  

Russia is considered a "hordesland" nation, meaning it has few natural defensive barriers like mountain ranges, and "hordes" swept over Russia in times past, so the need to conquer barrier nations was a logical strategy in order to give Russia time to form armies to defend the nation.  Those days are are long gone, and the need for such a strategy is a myth.

His love of Russia, and his depth of knowledge regarding Russian history has been known for some time, so that shouldn't be a surprise, nor should it be an indication of the quality of his intelligence.  

I do think George's article was insightful, especially Putin's claims America's not dealing fairly with China economically.  According to Putin what America really needs to do is to surrender to China's world economic order to continue to exist, because China's future is the bright and shining way, and by implication, America is doomed without China. It would also end trade restrictions that prevent nations from supported Russia's military expansionism, and that was what he really wants.

I would have loved to have had Carlson ask why Russia's trying to work a deal to have a naval base on the African west coast?  How is that protecting Russia?  The interview was a was a mixture of truth, myth, irrational, illogical, and twisted history!  

He then goes on to threaten America with his claims of Russia's possession of hypersonic missiles, which reminds me of Khrushchev's claim in the late 50's they were turning out missiles like sausages.  Which everyone except Eisenhower believed, and Eisenhower was right.   Is this in reality what the Russians call maskirovka?  

Yes and no in my opinion.  

I have no doubt he has such missiles, but I also wonder about the quality of those missiles, and their ability to produce them quickly, or in mass since they can't even build their own drones having to buy them from Iran, and they have to purchase military equipment from N. Korea.  They're even tying their economics to N. Korea.  Imagine that!  N. Korea, how telling is that?

This wasn't an interview as we understand interviews in America.  Carlson didn't challenge him the way he would be challenged in America, and let's not lose sight of the fact, it's most likely he wasn't allowed, and the topics and questions were predetermined.   This was more of a lecture than in interview, and actually, I think that was very beneficial.  It's clear Putin loves the sound of his own voice, and thinks he can con everyone if given enough time.  It's been said he would have liked for it to have gone on longer, and it's been said he later regretted it went on that long as it exposed Putin's psychological and intellectual weaknesses, and I think it did.  

Having said that, it's clear the Ukraine government is corrupt beyond redemption, their population is dwindling via mortality or migration, and Ukrainians are upset at the tyranny imposed on them by their own government, even ending elections.  The funding bill introduced in the Senate has poison pills in it to prevent Trump from stopping the flow of that money, which is being stolen as fast as they can, and it's been reported that arms delivered to Ukraine has ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels.  That's not setting well with America.

Here's what I think is reality.  Ukraine is toast, and ultimately Russia is going to suffer economically over the long term, and their demographics problems just got a lot worse.  Russia as we know it is doomed. Ten years ago it was predicted ethnic Russians will be a minority in their own nation by 2040, and now after losing over 300,000 young Russian men, that time frame has been reduced.

Tucker Carlson's Putin Interview

By Rich Kozlovich

There's been a lot of talk condemning Carlson Tucker for interviewing Putin, and the EU wants to charge him with a crime.  Imagine that.  They let Islamists run rampant murdering raping, robbing, mugging, and rioting, but.... hey... let's get our priorities right.  Interviewing Putin!  Now that's criminal!

Let's face it, Europe is a moral and intellectual wasteland.  He should be applauded for his interview of Putin, that's what happens when leftists interview vermin, so why is Tucker being condemned?  And no matter how many lies Putin tells to make himself look reasonable and amenable, let's not be delusional, Putin isn't a normal guy.  He started this war, and he's a former KGB thug who has had his opponents murdered, even those who lived outside of Russia. I recommend reading Red Notice by Bill Browder. For those who won't order from Amazon, and I don't blame them, just google the title and there will be other options.

Before his Ukrainian War folly Putin was always a potential problem for Europe, but they brought it on themselves and now we're expected to spend billions of American dollars to fix something they broke, all the while they look down their arrogant snotty leftist Euro-trash noses at America.

Putin may not be nine feet tall but he's still a monster, and he will always be a monster, but this isn't our fight.  We have no skin in this game.

Europe broke it, let them fix it, and truthfully, Putin is the least of their problems. Immigration is the worst of their problems, and they brought that on themselves also.  It won't be long before Europe is enslaved by Islam, and Russia won't want it, we don't need it, and it won't be long before the EU collapses and Europe is doomed. They've done so many blatantly stupid suicidal things, and continue doing so, why would we want to help them? 

America's involvement in so may conflicts is inappropriate.  I've asked over and over again, how do we benefit from this or that action?  The answer ends up being the same...we don't....American multinational corporations do, you know, the ones who readily abandon the nation to manufacture overseas, after failing to deal with unions and government intrusion here.  All from the no guts, no glory corporate leadership.  The same kind of leadership that has embraced every leftist corruption there is to the detriment of their companies and the nation, the same way they found ways to do business with Germany during WWII.

There are "intense economic problems" emerging out of Europe, Russia, China, and now Japan has a massive national debt, and what's coming can no longer be stopped, and the EU will collapse as a result, including Ukraine, Russia, and China.  
 
However, let's do some supposing. Let's suppose there will be no economic collapse.  And let's suppose Russia invaded the rest of Europe and took them over.  Why would that be so bad for America?   
 
Would we stop trading with them? Ultimately, No!
Would that destroy our ability to feed ourselves? No! 
Arm ourselves? No! 
Fuel ourselves?  No!
Defend ourselves? No! 
Create our own internal market?  No!
 
So why would we really care? 
 
Furthermore, Russia would now have to manage and control a continent that's broke, has massive banking problems and debt, problems with retirement and health care, a huge culture division with an out of control violent Muslim population, and not enough manpower or economic wherewithal to manage it, especially when these nations start an underground resistance movement.  
 
America has been carrying these parasites on our backs since WWI, and America has spent untold gallons of American blood and billions of America's dollars on them, and it's time we stopped.  We just take our marbles and go home, and let Europe wallow in their misery on their own. They earned it.

See, problem solved.

Tucker Carlson Gives Stunning Interview: 'Our System Is Collapsing in Real Time'

 

Are we watching the global order that took shape after World War II — the so-called “Pax Americana,” with the United States as the dominant global political, military and economic power — “collapsing in real time?” That’s what former Fox News host Tucker Carlson thinks. In an interview with the Swiss outlet Die Weltwoche — a German-language weekly considered center-right politically — Carlson said he had “become convinced over the past several years — particularly since the war in Ukraine began — that the world is changing much more quickly than most Americans understand.”  And it’s not in ways that reflect well upon the United States...................“What we, in this country, refer to as the ‘Post-War Order’ — the institutions set up in the wake of World War II to keep the world peaceful and prosperous and the United States at the top of the pyramid, and that would include the dominance of the dollar, the SWIFT system, NATO — all of that appears to me to be crumbling,” he continued...........

 “[Biden's] 80 years old. He can barely speak. He can barely walk. And he’s going to run, again, for president of the United States while there’s a war going on? The whole thing is so demented that we’re moving to the point where they’re not trying to convince anybody. They’re just trying to suppress and arrest people who ask questions. They’ve arrested dozens of people, of political opponents, not for committing crimes, but for opposing them in the past month. Dozens in the past month..............To Read More...

The 2024 Reality TV Show to Blow Up Leftist Election Fraud

June 14, 2023 By Jay Valentine

We have written about how the data for the six swing states show enough sovereign voter fraud (the election commission is in on it) and phantoms to overcome any likely Trump vote majority. Accumulating events indicate that leftists may be helping Trump blow through their fraud firewall. In each swing state, there are from 200,000 to 400,000 phantom voters or addresses or both locked into the voter rolls.   Three years of volunteer election integrity work has done little to reduce these numbers.  While phantoms were found by the tens of thousands, few were removed.  Little has been done to thwart county or state officials augmenting voter roll data to help leftist candidates.

Trump is currently unlikely to win any swing state by enough votes to overcome the fake ballot stash each state's leftists and RINOs prepared against him...............Favor Trump or not, Trump created such a movement — MAGA, an emerging coalition likely to be the deciding entity for Republican candidates for years to come..............The downside: After Trump, America is back to the same insidious swamp creatures who will undo everything Trump cleaned up. ............

No person in history, certainly no candidate, ever dominated the media like Donald Trump.  Positive or negative, Trump owns the screen, and nobody can change that. He is not alone. Kari Lake and Tucker Carlson share the same qualities............Carlson is on his way to disrupting the entire cable news industry.........Kari Lake not only won the Arizona governor election; she likely won it by 5–7 points...............Institutional election fraud has limitations. Those limitations are quantifiable..........To Read More......

Tucker Carlson's Greatest Gift? He Prevents Other People From Being Talked About

By Rich Kozlovich 

Some time back I wrote a piece noting that Tucker Carlson was now the nation's premiere political analyst, and now he's far more.  I never particularly liked him before he started his show, and often wondered how and why he was on so many political talk shows.  After he started his show I was a lot more impressed, yet there were times I really disagreed with him.  However, I loved the fact he was totally unintimidated by the prominent and powerful.  He was really great at spotting the logical fallacies these politicians, activists, and bureaucrats spewed out, and called them on it.  

I really liked the way he was willing to cut his way through the jungle to get to the truth, and would "boldly go where no journalist had gone before".   And, I think this is really important: he was unfailingly polite to people I considered to be stupid and corrupt, so many of whom were like all the Biden nominees to federal jobs and the federal court.

I found this interesting description and analysis of two politically prominent women whose doctoral theses were called Illiterate, Incoherent Gallimaufry of Platitudes and Farrago of Pseudo-Academic Fustian Malaprop Glossolalia.  Okay, we all know what illiterate and incoherent means, and ever pseudo, but what in the world does gallimaufry of platitudes, farrago of pseudo-academic fustian glossolalia mean?

  • Gallimaufry - A confused jumble or medley of things.
  • Platitudes - A remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.
  • Farrago - A confused mixture.
  • Pseudo-Academic - Pseudo-scholarship (from pseudo- and scholarship) is a term used to describe work (e.g., publication, lecture) or a body of work that is presented as, but is not, the product of rigorous and objective study or research; the act of producing such work; or the pretended learning upon which it is based.
  • Fustian - Pompous or pretentious speech or writing.  "a smoke screen of fustian and fantasy"
  • Malaprop -
    The mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect, as in, for example, “dance a flamingo ” (instead of flamenco )
  • Glossolalia - The phenomenon of (apparently) speaking in an unknown language
Now, I don't know anyone who talks like that, or for that matter, I don't anyone who would know what most of that means without looking it all up, including me.  But this verbiage is so rich, and so aptly descriptive of what we're seeing from so many who are against Tucker Carlson I hate to see it go to waste.  So, I'm applying that verbiage to these nitwits and misfits of the left and their enablers again as this Tucker Carlson Saga plays out.
 
The main stream media has been lying to everyone for decades claiming to be the omnipotent delivers of "truth"!   But that was a lie, and now we know that was a lie, and we know it has been a lie for over one hundred years, especially at the New York Times.  
 
Since he's been "fired" the media, politicians and other "experts" have come out frothing at the mouth spewing a lava flow of invective, logical fallacies and outright lies, about his work and his character.   In short, their comments and views are "Illiterate, Incoherent Gallimaufry of Platitudes and Farrago of Pseudo-Academic Fustian Malaprop Glossolalia."  
 
Chuckling.............I just love that verbiage.  

The media made fools of themselves while he attacked Democrat corruption, and then when what he claimed turned out to be right, they really turned into frogs after kissing Democrats behinds.  However, when he was fired they were almost apoplectic in their joy.   But, as has been said over and over again, be careful for what you wish for.  Now they've reached the Inevitability Factor:  When Reality Reaches It's Apex, since Carlson will be released from all restraints from the Murdoch family cabal and their leftist myrmidons at Fox.   

They're discovering he has the chance of a lifetime that no reporter or journalist has ever had in the history of the world. When it comes to political and cultural analysis, he "is it" now!  And they're finally discovering what America has believed for some time.  They're "not it" any longer, nor will they ever be again, and most assuredly, even less in the future.  
 
It's been said he wasn't fired from Fox, just his show was cancelled.  It's also been said he's still under contract and being paid to prevent him from moving to another network.  It's also been claimed that was done in order to prevent his coverage of the 2024 election.  Okay, maybe that was the Machiavellian intent, but I don't see it playing out that way.  
 
Tucker Carlson is wealthy now, so he doesn't need the money, but if he's still getting paid by Fox he's getting a ton of money from Fox, to do nothing for Fox, and all at their request.  So, what's to prevent him from going on shows as a "guest" .......daily.......and being interviewed telling the world what he thinks.......for free!

Unless I'm really out in the wilderness, that appears to me to be a First Amendment issue.   And Fox will pay through the nose whether they keep paying him or not.  Machiavelli would not have been impressed, and neither is the nation.

'They're brain dead': Tucker Carlson breaks silence after ouster from Fox 'They're afraid. They've given up persuasion, they're resorting to force'

By Joe Kovacs April 26, 2023

Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson broke his silence Wednesday evening, speaking publicly for the first time since his ouster from his top-rated broadcast by the network on Monday.

"Good evening,".........."When you take a little time off, you realize how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are, they're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won't even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who participated. Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly the United States looks very much like a one party state,"

"That's a depressing realization, but it's not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won't last. They're brain dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone's life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue and so it won't. "The people in charge know this. That's why they're hysterical and aggressive. They're afraid. They've given up persuasion, they're resorting to force. But it won't work."

"When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who have been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker. That's the iron law of the universe: true things prevail."  "Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren't many places left, but there are some and that's enough," Carlson concluded.  "As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon."

Tucker Carlson is Now the Nation's Premiere Political Analyst! And He's Paying For It!

The main stream media has been lying to everyone for many decades, and were the omnipotent delivers of "truth", but now we now that was a lie.   Since Tucker Carlson received the videos regarding what really happened on January 6th, the media, politicians and other "experts" have come out frothing at the mouth spewing a lava flow of invective, logical fallacies and outright lies, and exposing the fact they knew the January 6th Commission was nothing short of a Kangaroo Court.   
 
In short, they're comments and views are "Illiterate, Incoherent Gallimaufry of Platitudes and Farrago of Pseudo-Academic Fustian Malaprop Glossolalia."  Chuckling....I just love that verbiage. 
 
These articles linked below also expose the corrupt connection between the Democrat party and the media with their demands for censorship.  So much for the claim by Kinzinger the January 6th Commission was the most transparent in history.  We now know he's deliberately lying, but at least he's  adheres to the first rule of criminals.  "Never give up the con!"

This also exposes the corruption among the "leaders" in the Republican party, starting with Mitch McConnell, and even the owners of Fox News, the Murdoch's. 
Let's start with the media and their corrupt relationship with leftists and the Democrat party and the hysteria they're promoting.

The press make fools of themselves over Tucker Carlson's January 6 videos -  Since Tucker Carlson has just released unseen actual footage of the January 6 riot at the Capitol that the January 6 Committee did not bother to look at and that appears to contradict the official bipartisan swamp story line, a plethora of what now passes for "journalists" have materialized to smear Carlson.  They join what masquerades as our elected "representatives" on both sides of the aisle, including comrades Romney and McConnell, who are doing the same. ........

 

Schumer to Fox News: ‘Tell Carlson Not to Run a Second Segment’ of January 6 Video Footage - Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated Tuesday that Fox News should prevent Tucker Carlson from airing more January 6 video footage of “lies” Tuesday evening. Carlson released footage Monday that alleged Democrats knew Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick had not been murdered during the riot but mislead the public about his death, and that Ray Epps lied to the committee about when he left Capitol grounds. In addition, Carlson allegedly debunked the January 6 Committee’s claim that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) had run away from the Capitol in fear. It also showed police escorting Shaman Jacob Chansley inside the Capitol......

Chuck Schumer Sets Preconditions to Go on With Tucker Carlson – Demands Tucker Be Stopped - As reported earlier by Cullen Linbarger – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threw a huge temper tantrum on the Senate floor Tuesday. Earlier this month Chuck Schumer demanded Rupert Murdoch silence Tucker Carlson and other Fox News hosts over the January 6 protests. Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent Rupert Murdoch a letter demanding he censor Fox News hosts........

They're Definitely Freaking Out': Garland Repeats False Claim About J6 - With the left in full panic mode over Tucker Carlson’s release of January 6 security footage, Attorney General Merrick Garland doubled down on one of the original lies about the Capitol riot that has long since been debunked. During a news conference on Tuesday, Garland was asked for his thoughts on Carlson’s coverage of January 6. While he initially said he didn’t want to get into it, he ended up repeating a false claim about officer deaths that day.  "The Jan. 6 investigation is the largest in the history of the department," one reporter's question began. "On television last night, one program aired some video, characterized it as sightseeing by a bunch of people coming into the Capitol who revered it. You’ve seen the video. What’s your reaction to it?"..............

Democrat Lofgren: Airing Unseen Jan. 6 Video May 'Pave the Way for Another Effort to Overthrow the Constitution' - What happened at the (unprepared, poorly secured) U.S. Capitol on January 6 was a riot; it was an insurrection; it was violent, it was murderous, it was the worst political uprising since the Civil War, to hear Democrats and the January 6th committee tell it......

For those who followed this dimwit's comments, people were actually laughing at her.  Then we have the Grand Marshall of the Nitwit Parade, Whoopie Goldberg's thoughts.   And I use the word thoughts loosely.

Whoopi Goldberg: FNC’s Tucker Carlson ‘Taking a Page from George Orwell’s ‘1984’’ - Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson is taking a page from George Orwell’s book “1984” in his coverage of footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Goldberg said, “Last night, Tucker Carlson took a page from George Orwell’s 1984 and told his viewers to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.”

Does anyone really believe this dimwit actually read 1984? This is the same dimwit that claimed Jill Biden was a great medical doctor.  Remarkable, since Jill Biden's doctorate in in education.    The facts are coming out, and this is just the beginning over the Kangaroo Court corruption of the January 6th Commission, and further exposes both Kinzinger and Chaney for the political hacks they are.  Is it any wonder the demand for censorship is so strong, and unending?  
Time and truth are on the same side and there's  nothing like sunshine to destroy the darkness, and it's the darkness the media, leftists, and RINO's want most of all in order to continuing hiding their perfidy.  

Tucker Carlson debunks the Democrat hoax of the deadly insurrection - Just yesterday, Tucker Carlson aired the first of a series of shows, based on 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building from Jan. 6, 2021, which was provided to him by House speaker Kevin McCarthy. The episode debunked various Democrat hoaxes.  Here are a few of them: Turns out Jacob Chansley (pejoratively branded by the left as the QAnon Shaman) wasn't violent or destructive.  The footage shows the Capitol Police accompanying him as he ambled through the building.

The Chair of the January 6 Select Committee Just Made a Damning Admission -  Tucker Carlson is locked in shredding the nonsense surrounding the January 6 riot, which has been sold to the public as a violent insurrection. The hyperbole knows no bounds as others have said that day was worse than Pearl Harbor or the 9/11 attacks, once again showing that liberals have no sense of history. Trump supporters killed Capitol Police officers; people took that seriously. And it’s all a lie. It’s also a lie that those arrested, indicted, and convicted are domestic terrorists. I’m not referring to the ones who attacked police officers; they deserve whatever comes to them. But folks like Jacob Chansley, the ‘QAnon Shaman,’ are decidedly not domestic threats. .........

It's been obvious the "leadership" in the Republican party is corrupt to the core, and are in reality partners in crime with the Democrat party, and their minions. 

Fmr RNC Chair Steele: FNC’s Tucker Carlson Is a ‘Demonic’ Sycophant - Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson is a “demonic sycophant.” Discussing Carlson, anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “He described Trump as a demonic force, a destroyer.”....

I've met Steele, and while his personal story and history is compelling, it needs to be promptly ignored as as that's not who he is and he's just as bad as McConnell, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, and a host of other nitwits. 

The Morning Briefing: Mitch McConnell Reminds Regular Republicans That He Hates Them - There were a lot of people in a good mood yesterday after seeing what Tucker Carlson released of the J6 footage he and his people have been reviewing. The texts I received were mostly along the lines of, “Finally!” After two years of hearing the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media lying about an insurrection, we were getting some proof that they’ve been less than forthcoming. Republicans all around were rejoicing, right? Not so fast..........

Nothing more than a scam: Conservatives pounce on McConnell's Jan. 6 'mistake' - Conservative reaction is now pouring in after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said it was a "mistake" for Fox News to allow Tucker Carlson to use the newly released Jan. 6 tapes to depict the events that day in a way contrary to the view of Capitol law enforcement. "It was a mistake in my view for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law-enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks," McConnell said Tuesday.......

NEVER FORGET: Mitch McConnell Condemned the J6 Protests as a “Violent Insurrection” – Video Now Reveals He Was Lying - On Monday night Tucker Carlson released video from security cameras inside and outside the US Capitol. Three things were made clear:

1.) The police fired exploding gas canisters, rubber bullets, and pepper spray at the protesters without warning
2.) Federal operatives were embedded and committed criminal acts
3.) The mainstream media, Democrats, and Uniparty members lied about the protests and protesters

On Monday night Tucker Carlson released videotape of Jacob Chansley “QAnon Shaman” being escorted through the Capitol on Jan 6. Peacefully!............

Tucker Carlson Releases More January 6 Footage That Will Probably Anger Liberals -  Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has caused the Left to go apoplectic for releasing the unexpurgated security footage from the January 6 riot. Multiple liberal narratives aimed at attacking conservatives have been shredded, with the first shoe falling being the circumstances surrounding the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. For weeks, we were told by the establishment media that Trump supporters killed him in the melees; he died of natural causes. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) wasn’t the first out; he was one of many escorted out by law enforcement and one of the last to leave. The third revolved around Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, who, contrary to liberal narratives, was escorted around the Capitol Building by police who never tried to arrest him. In some cases, Capitol Police did assist the protesters inside the building. If this was a violent insurrection, why were most of the thousands who poured into the building sightseeing and photographing?....

So Much for Transparency

The Left and NeverTrump Right spent four years claiming “democracy dies in darkness” while extolling the virtues of resistance and transparency. Thus, their extreme overreaction to Tucker Carlson’s acquisition and release of raw video footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol protests is startling and a bit tin-eared. The leadership basically are saying: “Who you gonna believe, us or your lying eyes?” 

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) condemned Carlson as an enemy of the people and seemed to imply something bad would happen to Fox News for permitting the dissemination of videos of the January 6 protests. Schumer, and pretty much all of Carlson’s other critics, never explain why what happened on January 6 should be hidden from the American people, and they never assert the videos being shown are doctored, fake, or inauthentic..........To Read More.....

 

This week we saw more proof of the Democrats' disdain for democracy

It is said that when an individual responds to an allegation with a personal attack, the allegations are probably true, and the accused is most likely guilty. This week we saw proof of the guilt of the Democrats during two separate instances.

We look at Exhibit 1.

Tucker Carlson aired episodes based on the security camera footage from the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. The footage was the most closely guarded secret in the DC, although newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy had pledged to release it to the public and did so. Carlson debunked the Democrat narrative of a mass armed and dangerous insurrection with visual proof.

The insurrection narrative was mounted by the Democrats and their PR agencies that masquerade as news media outlets by slyly editing the footage to convey chaos and violence. Footage of crowds being unruly, lighting up a fire outside the Capitol building, and windows being broken were played in a loop to push the insurrection narrative..................To Read More......

This Great Stage of Fools

If you’ve ever wondered why the Left is so successful in fooling so many people for so long, you might consider branding expert Rob Frankel’s observation

The average IQ score is 100, encompassing about 68% of the population. If you add in the population who isn't even that bright, all the way down to the bottom of the barrel, you'll find that an astonishing 84% of the population ranges from "average" to "breathing paperweight."  That leaves about 16% of people who are "above average" or "really, really smart."

(Actually post “pandemic,” I believe U.S. I.Q. scores have gone down for the first time in decades.) Of course, some really smart people can be taken in, too, but rarely do they confess their error. This week a very intelligent person, Naomi Wolf (B.A. Yale, PhD Oxford) did just that. She offered up a” full-throated apology” to conservatives for falling for the Democrats’ narrative on the January 6 events.

I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity -- and the credulity of people similarly situated to me - many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.

What opened her eyes was the videos shown by Tucker Carlson.............To Read More....


The mainstream media, and now the government, want to shut down FOX News

By Peter Barry Chowka  March 12, 2023

FOX News, which last October marked its 26th anniversary as a cable news channel, has long been a target for its increasingly leftist competition, CNN and MSNBC. But now, the Federal  Government is jumping on the kill-FOX bandwagon and making noises about trying to rein in, censor, or even silence the country’s #1 basic cable television channel.

In recent weeks, FOX News’s ratings-challenged competition – CNN and MSNBC – have devoted endless hours to bashing FOX News as an outlier – a fake news channel that lies, distorts, and serves as an inspiration for violent, election-denying, white nationalist insurrectionists. CNN and MSNBC have been joined in this First Amendment-busting crusade by the nation’s leading mainstream print and online media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Associated Press, as well as PBS, NPR, the broadcast networks, and too many other broadcast and print/online outlets to mention.

This campaign against FOX News is nothing new. But the new 2023 rallying cry is the contents of several recent legal filings by the companies suing FOX for libel for its coverage of the aftermath of the 2020 election.  As the left wing British publication The Guardian wrote, in one of its several score articles bashing FOX News in recent weeks, this new political red meat mobilizing FOX’s critics results from:...............To Read More....

When it came to Tucker Carlson’s revelations about January 6, Democrats have come out swinging

 March 7, 2023 By Andrea Widburg

On Monday, Tucker Carlson began to release his team’s findings about what was in the January 6 footage, challenging the Democrats’ talking points. He exposed several lies, which may explain why Democrats are panicking and doing everything they can to say that Tucker is the liar. Of course, they don’t want the public to see any footage to expose these alleged “lies.” Instead, they want a return to the status quo of Democrat politicians and media figures controlling the narrative.

Rajan Laad has summarized the many leftist lies Tucker exposed on Monday (with more revelations to come). Chief among them were lies about Jacob Chansley (the so-called QAnon Shaman), who wasn’t rampaging madly but had a compliant Capitol police escort through the building; Sen. Josh Hawley, who wasn’t a lone figure fleeing the mob but was the last in a line of running congresscritters hustled along by the Capitol Police; Brian Sicknick, who was vigorously walking around, helmet on head, long after Democrats claimed Trump supporters beat him to death; and Ray Epps, whose testimony to the Pelosi J6 Committee does not align with video footage.........To Read More....

Anatomy of a Cover-up: The January 6 Tapes
