Flotsam and Jetsam - Tucker Speaks

Tucker Carlson, free from Fox, posted a short video, which said, reading between the lines, keep the faith, I'll be back. From Matt Margolis at PJM,  Tucker Carlson Breaks Silence, Releases Video Statement. Town Hall Staff write 'See You Soon': Tucker Carlson Breaks His Silence and at Red State, Bonchie pens Tucker Carlson Releases Telling Video Update Following His Divorce From Fox News. At Da Wire, Tucker Carlson Breaks Silence After Ouster From Fox, Offers 3-Word Response To Biden Officials Celebrating His Removal, “Ha! I’m sure.” Sundance at CTH, Tucker Carlson Broadcasts an 8:00pm Message, “True Things Prevail”, noting it happened at the same time his Fox broadcast would have been. 

Meanwhile, rumor abound. Rolling Stone claims Fox Has a Secret ‘Oppo File’ to Keep Tucker Carlson in Check, Sources Say. At the WSJ Tucker Carlson’s Vulgar, Offensive Messages About Colleagues Helped Seal His Fate at Fox News, "Prime-time host called senior executive the c-word in redacted missive; network grew wary of further embarrassment from possible disclosure." John Sexton, Another factor in the firing of Tucker Carlson, his text messages. "Generally speaking, harsh language from people in the news business probably doesn’t qualify as news. However, other news outlets were working to get hold of those redacted messages and might have done so eventually. Add that to the 90 or so videos of Carlson’s staff making offensive and allegedly anti-Semitic comments and you can see how this would very easily turn into a week-long storm of condemnation from every national news outlet." NYT, In a Lawsuit, Tucker Carlson Is Accused of Promoting a Hostile Work Environment "Carlson’s former head of booking, Abby Grossberg, said that male producers regularly used vulgarities to describe women and frequently made antisemitic jokes." Curiously, she and Tucker never worked in the same office.

Matt Margolis again, Tucker Carlson Has a Theory on Why He Was Fired, the Murdochs are preparing to sell Fox. At Summit, one of the whackier theories, Video: Days Before Being Fired, Tucker Carlson Exposed WEF Efforts To Force People To Eat Bugs.

At PM, 'That's a big one': Trump tells Newsmax's Greg Kelly he was surprised by Carlson's departure from Fox. Trump judges everything by whether it's good or bad for him. Jake Heilbrunn at Spec World (cited at Hat Hair) on Tucker Carlson and the revenge of the neocons. Kurt Schlichter at Town Hall hopes Struck Down, Tucker Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine. Mark Judge, (of the Kavanaugh hearings fame) has Career Advice From the Canceled for Tucker Carlson  "The left has given conservatives a lot to shout and be outraged about, so we do need champions on cable TV and Twitter. Yet we also need journalists who can work a beat for months and come up with stories, as I did, that challenge liberal narratives and maybe even historic perceptions. Tucker can make that happen." Across da pond at Da Mail, 'Appetizers plus entrée!' Looks like Tucker Carlson doesn't give two Fox about his ouster from network - gleefully telling DailyMail.com his future plans while tooling off to a romantic date night with wife Susan.

Red State's Nick Arama thinks Fox's Post-Tucker Numbers Show Actions Have Consequences as Breitbart reports Angry Fox Nation Subscribers Follow Tucker Carlson out the Door. Ace, Fox News' Ratings Fall at 8pm. "Rupert Murdoch fired his most important anchor just because his ex-fianc´e wanted to cuck him with Tuck." A short-term problem. Will it become a long-term problem? Maybe.

PJM's Stephen Kruiser asks Was That a Biden 2024 Campaign Launch or a Drunk Hostage Video? Dave Marcus at He thinks It’s time to have ‘the talk’ about Grandpa Joe as he launches re-election bid.  From the Free Bacon, a FLASHBACK: We Were All Told Biden Would Only Serve One Term. Matt Margolis again, KJP Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Biden Serving Two Full Terms. “Does the president plan to serve all eight years?” . . . “I’m not — I’m just not going to get ahead of the president,” she replied. “That’s something for him to decide." Matt Palumbo at Bongino catches Biden Randomly Making Up a Story About Being Born in Same Hospital His Grandfather Died at Weeks Prior "At this point, it’s looking like George Santos was more honest about his upbringing than Joe Biden." At NYPo, Biden cheat sheet shows he had advance knowledge of journalist’s question. He needs all the help he can get, and he's getting a lot.

Michael Goodwin at NYPo notes Voters say no to Biden, but Joe is intent on finishing the (awful) job. At Town Hall, Cutie Pavlich says We Have to Stop Joe Biden.

At WaEx, Liz Stauffer asks Did the spies who covered for Hunter Biden's laptop interfere in the 2020 election?. Of course they did, that was the point. But was it illegal? Well, if you try hard enough, you can certainly find a federal law to cover it.

At Power Line, Liz Stauffer asks Is Kamala Harris the ‘dumbest person’ ever to be elected Vice President in history? VP's tend to be eminently forgettable, so maybe not. Cutie Pavlich notes Joe Manchin Desperately Keeps Trying to Run Away From His Key Biden Vote. The hyperinflation act. 

John Sexton at Hat Hair E. Jean Carroll testifies at civil trial that she was raped by Donald Trump in 1995 or 1996; she's not sure.

KT at Hat Hair notes  Asa Hutchinson formally launches a dead-end presidential campaign, which may be the last we'll hear from him.

At Breitbart, Michigan Democrat Sentenced to House Arrest for 2020 Ballot Sabotage "Funk had won the Democratic nomination by just 79 votes out of about 5,300. A recount was not conducted, and she subsequently won the general election that fall. Investigators say she sabotaged the ballot box after the primary election, an act that would make those ballots ineligible for a recount." Nope, there is no voter fraud. 

The redoubtable Julie Kelly at Am Great says ‘It’s Fairy Dust’: The Proud Boys Case Goes to Jury "The fate of five men who supported Trump and protested Joe Biden’s election on January 6 lies in the hands of a biased D.C. jury."

From Da Wire, Musk On Allowing Trans Treatments On Minors: ‘Parents Or Doctors Who Do This Should Go To Prison For Life’

Sundance, not a DeSantis fan, Ron DeSantis Delivers Rehearsed Sanctimonious Comments About Potential for President Trump Arrest in Manhattan, “I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star.” Althouse cites Andy Weissman at NYT, "New York district attorney offices have often charged a crime of filing a false business record, both as a felony and as a misdemeanor." Natalia Mittelstadt at JTN reminds us that Manhattan DA downgrades felonies in NYC while potentially upgrading Trump's charge to felony,

"Alvin Bragg. “By-the-book” prosecutor. Read that again. And again. And again. “By-the-book.” Hugo Gurdon at WaEx, For Democrats, the weakness of Bragg’s case against Trump is the point. 

Regarding Chris Rock's question for Democrats, “Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know this is only going to make him more popular? It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?”  for Stacy McCain The Answer Is ‘Yes’.

Stacy McCain Hiding In Plain Sight: Jeanette Jennings and Transgender Munchausen by Proxy

Megan Fox of PJM has a rather too-detailed-for-comfort story about the tragic reality TV star “Jazz” (née Jared) Jennings. Let’s just say that the poster girl for transgenderism, who first appeared on the cable show I Am Jazz at age 14, is not happy with the results of his/“her” transition.

Really, there was no precedent for what was done to this child, except perhaps the experiments of Doctor Mengele. The use of so-called “puberty blockers” (synthetic hormones) at an early age to prevent the normal process of maturation — well, who had ever heard of such thing? Undergoing “gender reassignment” surgery at age 17 — gosh, what could possibly go wrong? Trust me, you don’t want to know the answer.

Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma pressed Yellen about how widely the uninsured deposit backstops will apply across the banking industry.

“Will the deposits in every community bank in Oklahoma, regardless of their size, be fully insured now?” asked Lankford. “Will they get the same treatment that SVB just got, or Signature Bank just got?”

Yellen acknowledged they would not. . . .

… Uninsured deposits, she said, would only be covered in the event that a “failure to protect uninsured depositors would create systemic risk and significant economic and financial consequences.”

Sundance also hosts House Oversight Receives Bank Records Showing Biden Family Paid by Chinese Energy Company

WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued a memorandum revealing new evidence resulting from the investigation into the Biden family’s influence peddling and business schemes. Subpoenaed financial records show that from 2015 to 2017, Biden family members – Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and an unknown “Biden” – and their companies collectively received $1.3 million in payments from accounts related to Rob Walker, a Biden family associate.

Notably, on March 1, 2017, less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office, State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to Rob Walker’s company. The next day, the company wired $1,065,000 to a company associated with James Gilliar, another Biden family associate. Afterwards, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,000 in payments over a three-month period in different bank accounts. From the bank records, it appears that the Biden family received approximately one-third of the money obtained from the China wire.

John Sexton at Hat Hair, Freddie deBoer: Quit pretending you don't know what woke means (plus zebras). Stick with it, it's worth it.

“Woke” or “wokeness” refers to a school of social and cultural liberalism that has become the dominant discourse in left-of-center spaces in American intellectual life. It reflects trends and fashions that emerged over time from left activist and academic spaces and became mainstream, indeed hegemonic, among American progressives in the 2010s. “Wokeness” centers “the personal is political” at the heart of all politics and treats political action as inherently a matter of personal moral hygiene – woke isn’t something you do, it’s something you are. Correspondingly all of politics can be decomposed down to the right thoughts and right utterances of enlightened people. Persuasion and compromise are contrary to this vision of moral hygiene and thus are deprecated. Correct thoughts are enforced through a system of mutual surveillance, one which takes advantage of the affordances of internet technology to surveil and then punish. Since politics is not a matter of arriving at the least-bad alternative through an adversarial process but rather a matter of understanding and inhabiting an elevated moral station, there are no crises of conscience or necessary evils.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Biden Got Dem Old Bank Run Blues

Back on the bank story, Ace, Here We Go Again? Major (Super-Woke) Tech Bank Fails.So what happened? It's generally agreed that banks in general are caught in a bit of squeeze at the Fed raises interest rates to try and wring inflation out of the economy, but not all banks are failing (so far). So what happened? Like airplanes crashing, and ships sinking, it's usually a series of defects and errors that leads to the catastrophe, so there's room for a lot of finger pointing.

Even if it does work, however, everything that's happened since Friday changes the whole game. Remember Fed Chief Powell's aggressive rate-hiking campaign we've been living through since Covid hit (and that kicked off his banking meltdown)? Yeah, that's likely right out the discount window. We've pivoted in one weekend from aggressive rate hikes – and Powell had been saying there were more to come! – to likely widespread liquidity injections. Maybe even rate cuts. In the midst of sky-high inflation. Hoo boy.

It's a whole new ball game, boys, and I, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, will be your skipper all the way through it.

Stanford, you see, pretends they want to ensure that everybody has the proper feels regarding the shameful events, so they will provide counseling to the students traumatized by what happened. Guess who the Federalist Society students should seek counseling from?

You read that right. One of the ringleaders of the whole disgusting affair is happy to counsel the very students upon whose rights she, personally, stepped on. You can’t make this up.

Stanford also warned students not to discuss the events because the school was having a bad time of it on social media, and the reputation of the school was taking it on the chin.

Sundance at CTH, Speaker McCarthy Says He Will “Slowly Roll Out” J6 Video to “Every Individual News Agency”… Most of them don't want it, and will only use it to cherry pick to contradict Tucker.
