If Holden Caulfield did battle with the phonies, Howie Carr does it with hacks. Howie is a Boston journalist whose mischievous face is a combination of Jimmy Cagney and Mephistopheles, offering Irish bravado and tempting the reader, listener, or viewer — he’s done his act for all three — to see the facts and get angry. In Paper Boy, Howie’s memoir, there’s a lot to get angry about, but almost every page bristles with laugh-out-loud moments. (more…)

There have recently been stories about how this or that mainstream conservative commentator is some kind of closet and/or ex-dissident Rightist, or is consuming dissident Right content on the down low. In March, liberals raked Tucker Carlson over the coals after leaked internal text messages revealed that he had read a Takimag article by notorious “Holocaust denier” David Cole and commented favorably on it. And then last month, a hot mic recording of Daily Wire star Matt Walsh surfaced in which he could be heard making “demographics are destiny” arguments about how non-whites would not be able to maintain America’s Anglo-Saxon culture.

As everyone knows, it’s one of those lunatic far-Right anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to allege that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a “civil rights” organization that reportedly operates on a budget of only about $80 million per year, plays an oversized role in dictating policy to the United States government — which operates on a budget exceeding $5 trillion per annum.

In the summer of 2019, I ran into Tucker Carlson in the Delta terminal at Kennedy Airport in New York. I was waiting for a flight to DC and had just finished lunch at one of those places where you order at the table from an electronic menu. Just as I was about to leave, Tucker walked in and sat down quite near me. There was no mistaking who he was — he looked exactly like he does on TV, only he was wearing a red flannel lumberjack shirt. And he was alone. (more…)

He Tucked around and found out.

On Monday, I looked at my phone and saw the message, “They got Tucker.” Apparently the whole world knew that Tucker Carlson had been fired from Fox just a few minutes after Tucker himself. We still don’t know the cause. It is probably complicated. Tucker made a lot of enemies telling uncomfortable truths about the Great Replacement, big pharma, the January 6th hoax, and countless other evils and follies. But we do know who benefits and who is gored. The victors are the globalist elites who control America. The victims are the American people. (more…)

Tucker Carlson deserves a lot of thanks for being the most outspoken critic of the insanity of America’s ruling family: the demented and abusive husband (the Democrats), the abused and clinging wife who enables him (the Republicans), their spoiled and insane daughter (the Left), and their increasingly aggressive Pitbull that they allow to bite people and befoul their neighborhood.

FOX News host Tucker Carlson recently said that Canada ought to be liberated from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s globalist, authoritarian tyranny: “Why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share the longest border . . . why should we let it become Cuba? . . . why don’t we liberate it?” He said this in a half-joking, tongue-in-cheek sort of way, but he’s not wrong.
