Posted By: Imright, 4/23/2023 10:23:00 AM
American diplomats and their families have been evacuated from Sudan as fighting between rival factions has intensified. Reuters reports that the process involved half a dozen aircraft, and was “carried out in coordination with” the Rapid Support Forces. According to earlier reporting, 70 personnel were to be evacuated — though many Americans remain in Sudan.“The State Department acknowledges that some records show 16,000 US citizens may be in Sudan, but officials consider those figures to be inflated,” CBS News reports.

Tucker Carlson on Wednesday delivered a blistering verdict on the state of modern America, declaring the country was looking 'very much like a one-party state', where the 'people in charge' were silencing debate and becoming 'hysterical and aggressive' because 'they're afraid'.
Speaking two days after he was fired from his powerful position as America's most-watched cable news host, Carlson addressed his followers on Twitter in a two minute video, and spoke cryptically about being silenced.
He said America's ruling class has 'given up persuasion: they are resorting to force.'
Newsmax anchor John Bachman interviewed Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) on Wednesday and the pair tore into Rupert Murdoch over the firing of Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“And lastly, Senator, real, real quick, you know, we have a clip. We’re going to play a little bit of Chuck Schumer. He was on the floor of the Senate talking about Tucker Carlson, basically imploring Rupert Murdoch to silence Tucker Carlson. To some, it seems like this is Rupert Murdoch capitulating to Chuck Schumer and other people that wanted other conservative voices silenced. What’s your read on it?” asked Bachman.
One America News (OAN) founder and CEO Robert Herring Sr. has hinted that his outlet is prepared to offer a massive deal to Tucker Carlson shortly after he was fired by Fox News. The wildly successful former Fox News host’s next move has been the subject of much speculation after he was abruptly let go by the network earlier this week.
OAN was one of a handful of networks to offer Carlson — who dominated cable news ratings for years — a contract just hours after his firing was announced. “@RobHerring would like to extend an invitation to Carlson to meet for negotiation,” OAN wrote in a tweet not long after
Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley took a jab at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday amid the governor’s ongoing battle with Disney.
“@Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida,” she wrote on social media.
“We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina! SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either,” she said, harkening to former President Donald Trump’s nickname for the Florida governor — “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
A new Politico report claims that high-ranking Pentagon officials are privately celebrating the exit of Tucker Carlson from Fox News. According to sources within the Department of Defense (DoD), officials are hailing the move as a victory for the military and the country as a whole.
“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” as one senior DoD official explained, he and others interviewed were granted anonymity to discuss the politically sensitive topic. This sentiment was also shared by other officials who spoke with Politico.
A cheat sheet held by President Biden during a Wednesday press conference revealed that the 80-year-old commander in chief had advance knowledge of a question from a journalist.
“How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?” read a question from Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian.
The revelation came during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol that discussed growing nuclear threats from North Korea — as the nations celebrate the 70th anniversary of their alliance.
Another cheat sheet showed the names

In case the average American didn’t know it already, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is a lesbian, and one who is so “out and proud” that she doesn’t hesitate to mention it every chance she gets – even though pretty much everyone in her circle undoubtedly is aware.The White House press corps, who are likely the “wokest” of any press corps in American history, no doubt knows this as well, which might be why they looked on in stunned silence while Jean-Pierre, who was joined
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden appeared disoriented and confused during the official arrival ceremony for South Korean President Yoon at the White House. As Biden struggled to find his way, many were left questioning his cognitive abilities.
Twitter users were quick to share their thoughts on the incident, with one user commenting “Biden never has any idea where he’s going,” and the RNC Research account sarcastically urging him to “Go that way, Joe!” as he appeared to wander aimlessly.
Mark Robinson is the current lieutenant governor of North Carolina, but he is aiming higher. He recently announced that he is running for governor of the state.
Robinson became a conservative hero before seeking public office for an epic defense of law abiding gun owners during a city council meeting.
He is an unapologetic conservative. The Associated Press reported: Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson formally entered next year’s gubernatorial race at a rally Saturday, with the sharp-spoken social conservative saying North Carolina neads [needs] a leader like him who can relate to
House Republicans are out with a second version of their debt ceiling bill meant to win over GOP holdouts after repeatedly insisting they would not make changes to the legislation.
Changes made during a Rules Committee hearing that went until the early hours of Wednesday morning were meant to win over some of the eight-plus holdouts whose votes are needed to get the Limit Save Grow Act through the House.
The tweaked version includes changes to ethanol and work requirements provisions -- but in a last-minute dig at the former speaker the bill also now strips $200 in maintenance in Presidio park in San Francisco - Nancy Pelosi's district.

‘Must Refuse To Place’ Trump’s Name
On 2024 Ballot 51 replies
Former Labor Secretary for Bill Clinton Robert Reich said states should refuse to place Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential ballot due to his alleged “treason.”
Reich made the comments in an op-ed published Monday in The Guardian. Reich argues that Trump is guilty of treason under the 14th amendment because of his claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. The 14th amendment prohibits anyone guilty of insurrection against the United States from serving in public office.

Hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter Tuesday opposing legislation that would require university students to take courses on America's government and founding documents. The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university's "academic freedom."
The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America's founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation,
PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland is about to be one of the first cities in the U.S. with blocks dedicated as a zero-emission delivery zone, thanks to a $2 million grant the city received. The Portland Bureau of Transportation announced Tuesday that the money will support creating a 16-block area in downtown where all deliveries must be made using zero-emission vehicles. These vehicles can include electric vans and trucks, cargo bikes or hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The goal is to reduce traffic from heavy trucks in the downtown area. According to PBOT, the pilot program of the zero-emission delivery zone will be located near
Writer E. Jean Carroll took the witness stand for her lawsuit against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling jurors: "I’m here because Trump raped me."
When she stepped forward with her allegations in 2019, Trump "lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m trying to get my life back," Carroll said during her testimony at the civil trial in federal court in Lower Manhattan. Carroll, 79, said she first met Trump — who has said he doesn't know who she is and had never met her — in 1987 at a "Saturday Night Live" party, where she was a writer at the time. She said she believes that's
Tucker Carlson’s firing from Fox News came after he used vulgar language to describe a network executive, the Wall Street Journal reported. Carlson described a senior Fox News executive as a C-word in a text message obtained by lawyers as part of a defamation lawsuit between the network and Dominion Voting Systems, according to the Journal, which like Fox is part of the Murdoch media empire. In a case settled last week for $787.5m, Fox lawyers reportedly convinced the Delaware judge to redact the message from public filings. Carlson, however, was still reportedly furious the network was not doing enough to protect him.
Despite many of them having only just entered the workforce, Generation Z — those born in 1997 onwards — is already getting a bad rap at the office.
According to a recent survey of 1,300 managers, three out of four agree that Gen Z is harder to work with than other generations — so much so that 65% of employers said they have to fire them more often.
One in eight have let go of a Gen Zer less than one week after their start date, the study found.
The results ring true with managers across the US and in various industries, who report that young hires have been difficult to deal with,

The fact that Tucker Carlson’s program is ending so abruptly — no farewell show, no final chance to thank the viewers for tuning in, night after night – is an indication that this was not such an amiable separation and that Fox News did not trust their highest-rated host to appear on-air, even for one last time. (Snip) It is unlikely that networks like Fox News can afford to keep loose-cannon hosts anymore.
Yet another iconic brand has embraced the Dylan Mulvaney trend, making him the face of their advertising, and like the other companies, it is also facing a fierce backlash.
Mulvaney has already caused consternation with his Bud Light advertisement, which led to a massive backlash and boycott of the company, leading to millions of dollars of lost revenue and the executive responsible for the ad being placed on leave.
According to CBS News, Mulvaney has now partnered with the cosmetics giant Maybelline, in a video showing him applying the brand’s products to his face and “getting glam.”
Unsurprisingly, this has led to a massive backlash against the company, and people are now calling

When it comes to cross-country travel, many electric vehicle owners have learned to take their vehicles’ range readings with a grain of salt — especially in cold weather.
That’s a lesson one man learned the hard way last week when he tried to drive his Rivian electric pickup truck through a rural part of Wyoming — with disappointing results.
Tow truck operator Jake Yeaman of Specialty Towing in Laramie shared the story on his Facebook page.
“Towed my first EV Today,” he said.
“A brand new $90,000 electric pickup from the rest area on South Pass to Rocksprings…

The female FOX News booking producer who filed a lawsuit last month against longtime host Tucker Carlson says she is celebrating his abrupt firing, noting 'he made my life a living hell.'
Abby Grossberg, who was fired by FOX shortly after she filed two separate lawsuits against the network earlier this year, said in an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday that Carlson and his show's executive producer Justin Wells were 'responsible for breaking me.'
Speaking of the moment she found out Carlson was abruptly fired on Monday, Grossberg said she felt a slew of different emotions.
Both Tucker Carlson and Fox News remain mum on the departure of Fox News’s most popular host beyond the terse initial announcement. (snip) the Wall Street Journal reported: "Mr. Carlson, whose contract was renewed in 2021, will be paid out for the rest of his contract, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Carlson is paid about $20 million a year, one of the people said."
