One way to prove you are a patriotic red-blooded American: buying a house in Qatar — according to Tucker Carlson.The ex-Fox News star, during an appearance at the Doha Forum on Sunday, said he was going to buy real estate in the city on Monday.Carlson referenced accusations he and his media company, the Tucker Carlson Network, have accepted big bucks from Qatari investors, while interviewing Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. He then announced his new purchase.“I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar, and I just want to say, which you already know, which...

U.S. podcaster Tucker Carlson announced that he plans to buy a home in the Qatari capital of Doha during an interview with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani yesterday (Sunday). Carlson stated that the purchase is being made in response to accusations that he has been paid off by the Qatari government for his recent praise of Qatar, defense of Sharia law and Islamist terrorist organizations, and hatred for the State of Israel. “I’ve never taken anything from your country and don’t plan to,” Carlson said. “I’m an American and a free man, and I’ll...

"This thinking is perhaps best represented by Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, who mix in their shows topics about aliens, the occult, and schemes of ultra-secret agencies To Owens and Carlson’s conspiratorial minds, what officials tell us is never what actually happened. The absence of competing evidence is a point in favor of conspiracy, as are attempts to disprove it—both are seen as signs of a cover-up to suppress the truth. The sickness of the mind that has gone mainstream on the right has its roots at least partially in QAnon, which, nearly a decade ago, was a conspiracy relegated...

Kirill Dmitriev — Vladmir Putin’s special envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund — is suddenly ubiquitous. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has been largely quiet since his maximalist negotiating approach with Team Trump failed. Moscow, presumably largely guided by Lavrov, after winning a concession on Tomahawk missiles, opted to continue Putin’s hardline demands for ending the war in Ukraine ahead of the proposed Trump-Putin summit in Budapest. NATO would have to admit that it was the root cause of the war. Kyiv would have to cede all of the Donbas, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine would...

A senior conservative legal scholar who holds one of Princeton University’s top academic chairs has resigned from the Heritage Foundation’s board in protest of the think tank president’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Robert P. George, long regarded as one of the right’s leading constitutional thinkers, is the latest figure to step down amid an internal revolt that has already prompted at least seven other staffers, fellows and task-force members to sever ties.

Tucker Carlson is now openly alleging that the Trump-era FBI — not just Biden’s — is lying about critical details of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is the core, explosive thrust of his just-released video (embedded below): that the very federal law-enforcement leadership now serving in Trump’s second term — including his newly installed FBI team led by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino — is obscuring what really happened on the rooftop where Thomas Crooks nearly killed a former president. Carlson isn’t just challenging federal law enforcement; he is accusing Trump’s own handpicked security...

Conservative media pundits Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly sparred this week over an interview Tucker Carlson conducted with white nationalist Nick Fuentes — and other commentary Carlson has made on his online podcast. “If I see somebody breach basic moral values by having on a Nazi, in my own view, gloss the Nazi, then I’m going to speak out about that,” Shapiro told Kelly during a live event. “I’m going to point out that there is a long pattern of him ideologically laundering terrible ideas over the course of the last two years, ranging from traveling to Russia to sniff...

Tucker Carlson mounted a full-throated defense of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) in Thursday morning’s edition of the former Fox News host’s newsletter. Under the sub-header, “Jews for Mamdani,” Carlson wrote the following: "You saw the campaign attacks against Zohran Mamdani. He’s a socialist! True. He’s a communist! Possibly true. He’s an antisemite! Wait, what? Is the incoming mayor a fan of Israel? Does he want America to fight its wars? Not particularly. But a Jew hater? That’s a different conversation. We’ve never seen anything to suggest he falls into that ugly camp. Because he doesn’t. He plainly...

The latest battleground in the war over MAGA’s future is one of the conservative movement’s most illustrious think tanks: the Heritage Foundation. On Thursday, its president, Kevin Roberts, released a video to defend the honor of Tucker Carlson only a few days after the former Fox News host interviewed white Christian nationalist and proud antisemite Nick Fuentes. In his video post, Roberts began by saying, “Christians can critique the state of Israel without being antisemitic. And of course, antisemitism should be condemned.” He then went on to attack supporters of President Donald Trump who had been attacking Carlson. “We will...

Zoom out: For now, MAGA is being held together by Trump's personality. But open disagreement has broken out over who should, and shouldn't, be accepted under its tent. U.S. support for Israel's operations in Gaza inflamed America First diehards and hardened Israel's MAGA allies. The online divisions have raged during the tenuous ceasefire, including tropes over Jews' supposed disproportionate influence in the U.S. A leaked group chat from New York State Young Republicans included racist comments and messages from a Trump administration nominee declaring he had a "Nazi streak." The revelation sparked debates over who — if anyone — should...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

Tens of thousands of animals found dead, mutilated, and gutted. Who is doing it and why? In this shocking episode, Tucker searches for answers to the cattle mutilation mystery.

In a surprising departure from usual partisan rhetoric, prominent Republican figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and political commentator Tucker Carlson, have extended rare praise to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, acknowledging his grassroots-focused campaign strategy, even as they continue to oppose his political ideology. Greene, who had earlier shared a doctored image of the Statue of Liberty in a burqa in response to Mamdani’s rise, has since revised her stance. Speaking on Steve Bannon’s podcast, she said, “He really ran a campaign where he talked directly to the people… Even though his solutions are insane and...

Tucker Carlson's most current interview of Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger (at https://x.com/i/status/1972716529608237173) brings up a nine-point list of Wikipedia policy reforms, of interest since the interview asserts that Wikipedia has a gargantuan influence, much greater than other media giants, on the total body of current knowledge--this in the information age. Question to ChatGPT: Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger maintains a 9-point list of reform measures for Wikipedia's policies at https://larrysanger.org/nine-theses/?utm_source=chatgpt.com#6-reveal-who-wikipedias-leaders-are. Presuming there will be no response from the Wikipedia governing body to item number 6, "Reveal who Wikipedia’s leaders are", is there a way for the identities of those anonymous leaders...

From the beginning of the COVID pandemic, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson has been focused on following the facts no matter where they lead. More often than not, the facts have led him in a different direction from those emanating from the World Health Organization or from Anthony Fauci. What's important to remember about Berenson, though, is that, while his conclusions may differ from those being pushed on the American people, he never deviates from the facts. That's why Twitter just kicked him off.Because Berenson's conclusions did not support mask mandates and lockdowns, the tech tyrants hate him....

The living memory of World War II is passing away. In April, the oldest known survivor of Pearl Harbor died at 106 years old. A few weeks ago, a 102-year old veteran who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day (June 6, 1944) entered his eternal reward. Sadly, less than one percent of the war’s veterans are still alive. However, more troubling and dark, the increasing deaths of witnesses — those who endured the conflict and its horrors — has been coupled with the rise of revisionist ahistorical conspiracies about the Second World War. Worse, this is increasingly a right-wing...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is being widely criticized on social media for claiming he has doubts that Iran-backed Hamas was anything more than a “political organization.” Israel has stepped up its campaign to wipe out Hamas from Gaza ever since Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked an Israeli music festival, killing at least 1,200 and taking some 250 hostages. Recently, Israel struck Gaza’s only Catholic church, killing three people. The Israelis said they were investigating the incident, however, Carlson claimed the Israeli Defense Forces were exhibiting “self-destructive behavior” by shelling churches, whether intentionally or not. In his latest...
