Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Effective Immediately

Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News, the network announced Monday morning.

In a statement the network said "FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."

Carlson's last program was Friday. Beginning Monday evening, the network will air Fox News Tonight as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is determined.

Carlson featured prominently in a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought against Fox News by voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, which was the subject of conspiracies of widespread election fraud and other wrongdoing in the wake of the November 2020 presidential election.

The voting company recently settled with the network, but not before text messages and emails by Carlson and other network personalities were made public as part of court filings.

In one of the exchanges made public, Carlson texts a colleague: "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait."

"I hate him passionately," Carlson added, per The Washington Post.

As a white American I feel I have more in common with white people In Europe then I do with non white people in America.

I would feel more comfortable in rural England then I would in Chicago for example.

How do you feel.

Seems like Americans are anti-immigration currently, like we were when the “America First” slogan was first used. We didn’t allow any Jews in so would we allow victims today to immigrate?

Someone just told me on TikTok that it wasn't.

It’s one of the wealthiest nations in the world. The greatest universities. But 60% or more of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why do you think that is?

Living paycheck to paycheck means you have little to no money after paying bills and other payments.

In the 1960s women couldn’t have a credit card without their husband’s ok but they seemed to have had a lot more respect than in 2020s. What do you think?

Firstly…whatever news article you jerk off too about UFOs…the “u” stands for unidentified. It could be (most likely) solar flare or some other illusion of light.

But why care? There are no space aliens spying in invisible crafts. The math just doesn’t add up. Those alien creatures would have to outlive the 50,000 year duration to the closest galaxy.

Are they obsessed (or very curious) because they feel isolated from this world?

So much talk about equality these days, but I am not sure equality is always true. What do you think?

Florida Couple’s Car Shot At After Driving To Wrong Address For Instacart Delivery

A Florida couple delivering groceries for Instacart said their car was shot at when they drove to the wrong address.
Waldes Thomas told NBC6 he was delivering groceries Saturday with his girlfriend, Diamond D’arville when he drove to the wrong address. As they pulled out to leave, the couple said a man got into his truck and followed them.

“I had seen him pull out a gun, and that’s when I said, ‘We got to go, we got to go,’” D’arville told NBC6. “I was scared, I’m not going to lie.”
Thomas said he told the man he worked for Instacart but was fired upon anyway.

“We were there for Instacart, we were trying to tell him, and he went about it the wrong way — instead of just calling police, saying I have trespassers on my lawn, he decided to shoot,” Thomas said.
Video taken by NBC6 shows at least one bullet hole in D’arville’s car.
The Davie Police Department told NBC6 that a gun went off at the home but did not identify the homeowner. D’arville said they spoke to a detective but were told no laws were broken because they were on the shooter’s property.
It’s at least the fourth incident in the past month of someone being shot at for making the mistake of going to the wrong address or vehicle.
