[WIRE] Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson laid into President Joe Biden’s administration on Saturday, mocking the White House over the recent discovery of cocaine near the Situation Room — and the subsequent "failure" to find the culprit.
Carlson appeared to deliver the remarks off the cuff, responding from the stage at Turning Point USA’s Action Conference in Florida when someone in the audience shouted, "coke in the White House!"

Tucker sounds like he's joking but I still think if we assume the worst about the Biden White House it's a pretty good bet.

Tucker had his Sam Kinison / Howard Beale thing going on that one. He needs the long raincoat and a willingness to use bad words and it will be perfect.

[Gateway] Nobel Laureate in Physics, John Clauser, lashed out at the science heretics who continue to push global warming and who "threaten the well-being of billions of people."
Clauser criticized the prevalent climate models as being unreliable and not accounting for the dramatic temperature-stabilizing feedback of clouds, which he says is more than fifty times as powerful as the radiative forcing effect of CO2.
Clauser believes there is no climate crisis threatening the planet.
Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Green Peace, retweetd Dr. Clauser’s recent statements this week.

Moore has been vocal about the climate hoax for quite some time. The right leaning media is just now picking up his articles. The left leaning media will never publish his articles.

[Breitbart] Sound of Freedom is no flash in the pan. In its second weekend, the Angel Studios’ phenomenon grossed another $24.7 million, which is an astonishing 26 percent increase over its debut weekend. Currently, THE MOVIE DISNEY DUMPED sits at $83.2 million.
Never forget that the Disney Grooming Syndicate owned Sound of Freedom and then tried to disappear it. Because Jim Caviezel doesn’t age, it’s hard to tell, but Sound of Freedom wrapped in 2018, more than five years ago. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney acquired Sound of Freedom, a movie that is about to become one of the most profitable independent movies of all time.
Obviously, a demonic company like Disney, a company dedicated to grooming kids by sexualizing children’s content with homosexuality, transsexuals, drag queens, and transvestites, does not want anything to do with a movie that depicts the sex trafficking of children as a bad thing. Disney is determined to normalize sex with children, not reinforce the idea that a child’s innocence must be protected. So Disney shelved Sound of Freedom and sat on it. It took five years for the producers to get it back.
Well, because the arc of history bends toward justice, the fetishists at Disney are about to lose a couple hundred million dollars on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Cucking Indiana Jones with a Sexless Co-Star No One Finds Appealing. At the same time, Sound of Freedom has become a money-printing machine.
Everything after about $35 million is pure profit for Sound of Money — er, I mean Sound of Freedom. Already, the people behind this blockbuster have split about $50 million with theaters. That’s $25 million clear and counting.
With its theatrical run far from over, Sound of Freedom’s domestic haul has already topped all but 24 of last year’s biggest-grossing films, including Scream (2022), Morbius, the Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Woman King, Death on the Nile, etc.
Elsewhere at this weekend’s box office, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One came in below its $90 to $100 million projection with an $80 million haul over an extended five-day opening. If you do not adjust for inflation, that’s a franchise record. Twenty-three years ago, Mission: Impossible II opened to $79 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $140 million today.
The good news for Dead Reckoning is the overseas box office. After just five days, by Monday, it should have a worldwide haul of around $240 million. For context, that $240 million nearly ties the worldwide gross of Dial of Kathleen Kennedy’s Latest Franchise-Killing Dud, after 16 days and two full weekends of release.
The bad news for Dead Reckoning is that its production budget is a reported $290 million. Add another $100 million or so for promotion, and you’re pretty close to the reported $430 million the Disney Grooming Syndicate spent on Dial of Dud.
In its third weekend, Dial of Watch Us Emasculate Your Childhood Hero grossed just $11 million for a domestic total of a pathetic $145 million. Kathleen Kennedy’s latest failure won’t come close to $200 million domestic or $500 million worldwide. Break-even is over $800 million.
This is what happens to a studio when it becomes a slave to identity politics, fetishes, and perversions.
Dead Reckoning’s fate will be revealed next weekend. The reviews and word of mouth are about as good as it gets. Oppenheimer and Barbie open next weekend, which is serious competition but not direct competition in the action arena.
Everyone was expecting Top Gun: Maverick numbers for Dead Reckoning, but Maverick was something entirely different. No one had seen a Top Gun movie in 35 years. Moviegoers were curious about what had happened to “Maverick” and “Iceman.” Who are they now? How has their world changed? There’s a big difference between that and another one of those Mission: Impossible movies.
Hollywood has franchised me out. I have full faith Dead Reckoning is non-woke and entertaining. That has nothing to do with my lack of excitement. My enthusiasm gap comes from the fact that I feel like I’ve already seen Dead Reckoning two or three times already, back when it was called Fallout, Rogue Nation, and Ghost Protocol.
Sound of Freedom is the way forward. A modest budget attached to an original story about a topic (be it falling in love or sex trafficking) normal people care about. All you have to do is execute the story well and not undermine it with off-putting gay sex, lectures, shaming, or any other type of woketardery.

It takes a very special kind of managerial incompetence to screw up a legendary franchise like Disney. What's saving them now, more or less, is that about two thirds of Disney's shares are owned by "institutional investors" (think Blackrock) who wouldn't invest a penny in a movie like "The Sound of Freedom" if there were a mathematical certainty of a 100% return.

I saw a picture of what they have done to SnowWhite in the live action reboot. It looks like the worst production that I have ever seen. This ranks below anything starring Ernest or Larry The Cable Guy. I would have to watch it to compare it to Pat The Movie and a movie I once watched starring Joe Piscapoe and Treat Williams as undead cops. I suppressed the title. I won’t be watching it. Too much trauma in my past already.

Yeah, first they said the pictures of the "non-dwarves" were fake, then they said they were just not "official."
They have another stinker on their hands, they know it, but they can't help themselves.

"It takes a very special kind of managerial incompetence to screw up a legendary franchise like Disney."
Why you say this.
From perspective of Disney runners, Disney is not screwed. It is doing its propaganda job.

I J and Dial of Destiny probably had a cost of $350M to $500M including promotions. It obviously takes more box office than that to achieve breakeven because theaters get some of the box office so $800 is a possible break even but I suspect the point is lower, say $650M.
Of course the new Snow White Movie may end up being a bigger loss than Dial of Destiny

[MIRROR] Bustling cities are beloved by many, especially those who enjoy a fast-paced lifestyle. But so too are seaside towns, where residents love the picturesque views - and the friendly locals. So it should be no surprise that Whitby features on just about every 'best place to live' list.
Nestled on the North Yorkshire coast, the 'calming' town offers everything you need for a peaceful life. But you don't have to give up on the action either, as there are plenty of adventures to be had in the tourist hotspot. With stunning scenery and spooky history, you might even say there's something for everyone.

Though the scenery's better in some eps than others. Been pondering -- culture catchup having reached Homeland -- who Lewis (one of those luvvies who seems, like Pigott-Smith, say, to have made a vocation of portraying Western man in the worst semi-plausible light, constantly telegraphing semaphoring Deep Inner Badness) reminded me of. Finally placed him as the 2D Forsyte monster who so annoyed poor Carolyn Catz, erstwhile Port Wenn schoolmarm (and one of the world's great beauties, for my money, Picasso mandrill face and all). Wrrrow!

And speaking of English roses... what the heck induced Weisz and HBC to pretend that Bill Nighy in that Worricker mess was the hottest thing since sliced porridge? Yikes. And poor old Betty Davis... sob.
[American Thinker] On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800 left JFK airport in New York City heading east to Paris. Twelve minutes after its 8:19 departure the doomed 747 blew up off the south coast of Long Island, killing all 230 souls aboard.
On August 23, 1996, the New York Times reported on its front page, above the fold right, "Prime Evidence Found That Device Exploded in Cabin of Flight 800." According to the Times, only the FBI’s uncertainty about whether the device was a bomb or a missile kept it from declaring TWA 800’s destruction a crime.
On that same day, above the fold left, was the headline, "Clinton Signs Bill Cutting Welfare; States in New Role."
The Clintons had an election to win. One of those storylines would have to go. A month later, the administration started floating the possibility of a mechanical failure, and the bomb and missile story lines, despite the "prime evidence," were allowed to die.
Legendary JFK press secretary and former U.S. senator Pierre Salinger knew better. A loyal enough Democrat, he sat on what he knew until it had lost its political punch. He broke his silence at an aviation conference in the French resort city of Cannes just two days after the November election.
There, Salinger told the assembled executives that he had "very important details that show the plane was brought down by a U.S. Navy missile." He added the obvious: "If the news came out that an American naval ship shot down that plane it would be something that would make the public very, very unhappy and could have an effect on the election."
Imagine that -- the intelligence community conspiring with the a Democratic administration and the Department of Justice to suppress information that might well have altered the outcome of a presidential election.
The media joined the conspiracy to make sure no one would ever dare to do in the future what Salinger had just done. The conspirators did not care what role Salinger had played in Camelot.
They were quick to swat him out of the Kennedy pantheon. The FBI, the White House, the Navy, all took a shot. Salinger was unready for the assault. The media found the subject irresistible. In the month of November 1996 alone, the New York Times ran four articles with headlines that mocked Salinger.
A Stinger - even had it been launched at a perfect position (which would be out on the water, and not one witness ever reported the flash you would have seen as the rocket motor ignited) could not have reached Flight 800. Flight 800 was too high for a Stinger to have reached, and even if it somehow had gotten there, a Stinger warhead could NOT have killed the entire airplane; it is simply too small. Remember KAL 007 - hit by a air-to-air missile intended to kill bombers, and though it did go down, it stayed in the air for a minute or so.
No, a STANDARD SAM launched by a US Navy ship did not shoot it down. The USN has live fire ranges for SAM launches...hundreds of miles from Long Island. A missile launch close enough to go after TWA 800 would have lit up the coast for miles around, a detail no one ever seems to report seeing. The missile's exhaust would have been visible for miles as well.
In both cases, the warhead explosion would have resembled a fireworks display. This detail was not reported by any witnesses.
In the case of a USN SAM doing it, please explain to me how literal HUNDREDS of people would have been involved and no one has ever said a word.
Wasn't a missile. Full stop. You can make an argument for a bomb aboard the aircraft or some bizarre malfunction, but THAT'S IT.

I remember radio talk shows and all the call-in witnesses to this event.
Missile or Bomb? Who cares, everyone gets a ribbon. Innocents died that day and it was covered up. Something odd happened and people on the ground saw it. However described: aliens, missile, bomb. Does it matter, does a pointless debate change things? Something happened that day out of the ordinary, innocents died, people called in to report witnessing it, and then it was covered up.

It matters if the FBI covered it up...especially for purposes of swaying the electorate.

The NTSB made the records of civilian and military radar available in 2000. There was clearly a fuel tank explosion. No missile was detected by radar. Of course a very small missile wouldn't have a good radar signature, but a very small missile wouldn't have led to a fuel tank explosion unless it hit exactly the right spot.

[Bee] DES MOINES, IA — Federal authorities have begun a massive manhunt for an arsonist who on Friday completely torched three presidential campaigns.
"He left nothing but ashes," said Chief of Police Ron Miller. "All three campaigns were burned to the ground in a matter of hours. We're dealing with a professional."
According to police, the suspect lured unsuspecting presidential campaigns to Iowa, where they were each set ablaze in rapid succession. "The campaigns never saw it coming," said local firefighter Wes Bailey. "Witnesses say the arsonist had brown, slightly disheveled hair, and looked somewhat confused as he lit the match. He also reportedly had a staccato, high-pitched laugh that rang out as the flames grew higher. Monstrous!"
Rescue teams sifted through the burning wreckage of each presidential campaign, declaring all of them to be a total loss. "There's nothing left to salvage," said Chief Miller. "All we can do is sweep up the remains and toss them into the dustbin of history. This arsonist really went scorched-earth."
At publishing time, authorities warned that the arsonist was still at large and likely to strike again.

Watched him give a speech a couple days ago to a friendly crowd. He loves his job, like a squirrel hunter who loves shooting squirrels.
[American Thinker] Philadelphia, 1787. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention are just leaving Independence Hall, having decided on the general structure for the new United States. A crowd had gathered on the steps of Independence Hall, eager to hear the news. A woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, "well, Doctor, what do we have, a Republic or a Monarchy?" Franklin replied sagely, "a Republic, if you can keep it."
Fast forward to the height of the Cold War. Former FBI employee Cleon Skousen authored The Naked Communist which outlined a concerted effort to overcome and control all of the world's governments through the implementation of social progressivism. This book was also later reinforced by the admission of Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB agent who defected to the United States in 1984.
Although I generally do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, let’s take a look at my summation of what the author predicted sixty- five years ago, I think you will be amazed.
Get control of the schools. Use them to "sell" socialism.
Soften the curriculum. Get control of the teacher’s associations.
Infiltrate the press. Get control of editorial writing, and policymaking positions.
Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
Break down cultural standards by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
Present degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."
Infiltrate the churches and replace religion with "social" religion.
Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
Discredit the American Constitution as it is inadequate and out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
Discredit the American Founding Fathers, present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
Support any social movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture -- education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudice to the suppressive influence of parents.
Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate of the American tradition; that student and special-interest groups should rise up and use "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
Is it too late for America to keep our Republic? No. But socialists are not targeting me to change, they are just waiting my generation to quietly fade away. They are focused on the youth in America; trying to convince them the freedoms we currently enjoy in America are outdated and their way is better.
Don’t allow the death of freedom and liberty in America -- 0nce Franklin’s Republic is gone it will never return, lets "keep it" instead.

Is it too late for America to keep our Republic?
It was well gone over two decades ago, replaced by an oligarchy of special interests. The question is are you willing to lose everything in trying to establish a second republic?
