Highlights of the week

Quiet week at Mar-a-Poca. I had laryngitis.

ITEM 1: Fox fired Tucker Carlson on Monday. Its ratings fell by 21% — 700,000 viewers — that night.

By Wednesday, MSNBC won the timeslot.

The next stop for Carlson likely is Spotify. Neil Young needs something to protest again.

Always remember a mob of Democrat/Deep State goons showed up at Carlson’s home on a Friday night when he was on the air and his wife and kids were home alone.

ITEM 2: The Daily Wire reported, “Justice Alito Has ‘Good Idea’ Of Who Leaked Dobbs Opinion; Suggests Motive Was Assassination.”

People who support killing babies in the womb won’t think twice about murdering a justice to give the deep state another vote on the high court.

ITEM 3: The Daily Caller reported, “Joe Biden bemoaned the banning of several books depicting child pornography in a video announcing his candidacy for president in 2024.”

Come on, man, he needs reading material.

ITEM 4: The Jeff Bezos Post reported, “Biden announces 2024 re-election bid, saying he wants to ‘finish the job.’”

He means finish us off.

ITEM 5: Just the News reported, “Sen. Romney says Biden needs to negotiate with Republicans on debt limit bill.”

Good idea. Does Mitt know where we can find some Republicans?

ITEM 6: The Free Press reported, “A racial incident at a BYU volleyball game went viral when media companies ran with the story. But it turns out it never happened.”

Bubba Wallace’s noose and Jussie Smollett’s noose could not be found for comment.

ITEM 7: The New York Post reported, “Bud Light suffers ‘staggering’ 17% sales plunge amid Dylan Mulvaney controversy.”

That’s sobering news. Trouble is brewing. Sales are drying up.

ITEM 8: Zero Hedge reported, “FDA: Vaccines Don’t Have To Prevent Infection Or Transmission.”

We set up the FDA a hundred years ago to stop quack medicines. Now it promotes them.

ITEM 9: CBS reported, “Maybelline faces boycott for partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.”

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?

You done started doing the things you used to do.

ITEM 10: The San Francisco Chronicle reported, “The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted to repeal a local law that prevented city employees from traveling to or doing business with companies based in states that had passed laws limiting LGBTQ rights, voting rights and abortion access.

“Supervisors rolled back the entire law in a 7-4 vote just one month after the board agreed to exempt construction contracts from the boycott. Mayor London Breed has already said she supports repealing or reforming the underlying law.”

Dang it. That means San Franciscans will be traveling again, lowering the IQ of every place they visit.

ITEM 11: Four of the greatest tanks in history.

Tucker Carlson dropped a video at 8 PM on Tuesday and received 57 million views — or 30 times the number of people who watched his replacement, Bill “Just” Kilmeade.

ITEM 12: Independent journalist Jose Vega tweeted, “My friends and I confronted the executive editors for the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and Reuters on their censorship of Seymour Hersh, Uhuru, Julian Assange, Tucker Carlson, Russiagate. Then the Dean of Columbia and security pushed me to the ground and tried to silence me.”

It was a symposium on Policy and the Press. I didn’t know the First Amendment covers only to government-approved journalists.

ITEM 13: Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal did an expose on Tucker Carlson after Murdoch’s Fox fired him. He used profanity and made fun of House Vampire Pelosi in a bathing suit.

Gee, Roger Ailes was a bad guy. Bill O’Reilly was a bad guy. Now Carlson is a bad guy. Murdoch keeps hiring bad guys and keeps having to fire them. Just darned bad luck — or maybe he hires investigators to keep tabs on his people to keep them in line.

Meanwhile, PJ Media reported, “Ex-Producer Suing Tucker Carlson Never Actually Met Him.”

Who is her lawyer? Michael Avenatti?

ITEM 14: Dr. Phil on reparations, “I can tell you from a psychological perspective that if you take $350,000 or $840,000, and you write a check to any group of people – black, white, poor, homeless, whatever — you give any group of people that much money and say, ‘there you go, best of luck,’ you come back in six months, they’re going to be broke.

“Whatever reparations are done, that would be an absolute disaster, as opposed to guidance and help in creating generational wealth, as opposed to income.”

He says what few dare to say.

ITEM 15: The Guardian said, “British households and businesses ‘need to accept’ they are poorer and stop seeking pay increases and pushing prices higher, the Bank of England’s chief economist, Huw Pill, has said.

“Pill said a game of ‘pass the parcel’ is taking place in the economy — as households and companies try to pass on their higher costs.”

No raises.

Except for government employees such as the chief economist at the Bank of England.

ITEM 16: Legal Insurrection reported, “Homeland Security Head Announces Agency Is Creating Artificial Intelligence Task Force.”

The ability of robots to frame people will put Ray Epps out of business. Maybe we can start a GoFundMe for him.

ITEM 17: The Daily Mail reported, “Marines were pictured at the U.S. Embassy folding the national flag in Sudan's war-torn capital before 100 elite troops evacuated diplomatic staff.

“The images show the flag being lowered by the Marine Security Guard Detachment at a flag-folding ceremony. The U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Sudan, John T. Godfrey, oversaw the proceedings.”

How odd that an administration hung up on newly minted rights for black Americans and the rainbow people keeps waving the white flag.

ITEM 18: Zero Hedge reported, “Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made several bizarre, if not shocking, admissions during a prank call with two Russians posing as Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, where they discussed topics ranging from inflation, to the Russian central bank, to joking about having a ‘printing press’ in the basement and possibly setting up a federal reserve bank in Kiev.”

Sure, open a Federal Reserve Bank in Ukraine. In fact, move the entire government there so officials can be closer to their bribes.

Then we lock the door so they can’t come back.

ITEM 19: The Independent News reported, “The woke world is seemingly heading towards a concerning direction. Apparently, a Twitter user recently states that they’re celebrating YAP which is short for Youth Attracted Persons, and many are not happy with it. Twitter users went on a crusade against the user for even creating a flag for this said sexuality.”

Pedo is now just a sexuality, not a capital offense.

We said if you allow gay marriage polygamy, pedophilia and bestiality are next. They told us we were weird for even thinking that. Now they call polygamy polyamorous and are pushing the pedos, having elected one president.

ITEM 20: WHIO reported, “The Ohio Department of Health repealed authorization for the monovalent COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer—the same type of vaccines many Americans received during the start of the pandemic.”

So they mandated a vaccine that is now banned in Ohio.

This is proof that public health departments should be limited to inspecting restaurants for rat poo.

ITEM 21: Hot Air reported, “Judge orders Hunter Biden to show up in court for child support lawsuit.”

We have had First Ladies, First Sons and First Daughters. This is the first First Deadbeat Dad.

ITEM 22: Al Jazeera reported, “Taliban must ‘swiftly reverse’ crackdown on women’s rights: UN.”

Must?

Or what? Are we going to send an angry army to fight an army armed with the latest in U.S. military equipment? Watch for another stern letter to go in the Taliban file.

ITEM 23: The Ukraine War in three acts.

May 2, 2022, “Zelensky says he’s had 10 attempts on his life.”

February 5, 2023, “Putin promised not to kill Zelensky during Ukraine war’s early days: ex-Israeli PM.”

Thursday, “Ukraine ‘tried to assassinate Putin using drone loaded with explosives that crashed just miles from the estate the dictator was due to visit near Moscow,’ German media claims.”

Not our monkeys, not our zoo.

ITEM 24: Bloomberg reported, “China passed another milestone in its bid to reduce reliance on the dollar, as yuan usage in its cross-border transactions jumped ahead of the greenback’s for the first time in March.”

The yuan overtaking the dollar shows Chairman Xi’s best investment was in the Biden Crime Family.

It helps that lefties for a half-century have loved Chairman Mao more than America.

ITEM 25: CNN reported, “Key Senate Democrats are calling for next year’s funding for the Supreme Court to be conditioned on the creation of an ethics code for the justices.”

This is not about ethics. This is about giving congressional Democrats the power to pressure Supreme Court justices to rule in their favor. The more high-minded a congressional proposal sounds, the lower it really is.

ITEM 26: Harry Belafonte died at age of real old.

Now who will bestow the title of House Slave on conservative blacks? Are there any rappers who can sing calypso?

ITEM 27: Politico sobbed, “Appeals court upholds Florida voting restrictions approved by GOP lawmakers.”

Ballot box stuffing banned. Boo hoo hoo.

ITEM 28: Yahoo Sports reported, “Ryan Reynolds, Remington Group preparing $1 billion bid to buy Senators.”

Oh come on. Inflation is not that bad. Senators should cost no more than $2 million a dozen.
