Bullet Points:

** Susan Rice, shadow President of the United States is stepping down from her job at the White House.

The move brings to a close Rice’s prolific, wide-ranging and at times controversial tenure overseeing Biden’s domestic agenda — including some of the thorniest political issues, such as immigration policy. During her more than two years in the role, Biden has signed executive and legislative actions on health care, gun safety, student loans, policing and other key priorities for Democrats. Rice’s last day in the White House will be May 26, according to a senior administration official.

** Crawl – Walk – Run: CDR SAL weighs in on PLA(N)

** Tucker Carlson – the left won. ZeroHedge has a good article on the topic. There’s no reason to watch Fox anymore. PJMedia weighs in too.

** Cleopatra – the next remake…

One prominent lawyer is suing Netflix for “blackwashing history.”

According to recent DNA tests, it appears that ancient Egyptians were lighter, not darker than their modern-day descendants. Apparently, the ancients looked more like Levantine peoples: Syrians, Lebanese, etc.

** It should be part of a sermonette, but (RFE/RL) — Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate, the UOC was nominally autonomous but was subordinate to the Russian Orthodox Church. It severed ties with Moscow in May 2022, citing opposition to the invasion, but the church and clerics within it have been accused of maintaining those links, upholding pro-Russian narratives, and collaborating with occupying forces in Russian-held parts of Ukraine.

In December, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy vowed to introduce measures to protect his country’s “spiritual independence” from the Russian Orthodox Church — which is led by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, a loyal ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who has unequivocally backed Russia’s war on Ukraine.

 

Rest in Peace

LSP’s faithful blue heeler, Mr. Blue (also known as Blue Destroyer for his war against UPS and FedEx) died and VM offers a special mention and condolences.

He was a very good dog and had a fondness for any cherry pie… that he could steal.

  1. Tucker’s big mistake was that he believed he lived in a free country, that we still had the right to speak the truth. Fox News will lose viewers; how many remain to be seen. I am anxious to see where Tucker lands.

    Susan Rice’s departure is the biggest signal to me of Obama’s move to oust Biden. I imagine Biden’s latest shenanigans have grated on Barry’s nerves to the point where he protects Rice from any fallout.

    This should be an interesting summer.

      1. Fox News had liberal leadership at the top – elites who identify with their class. I’m sure that they’ll make up for viewership in advertising revenue.

        1. Fox is just another media company that is out to make money, they appear to back the other side so people who don’t like the liberal view still have someplace to watch the ads they sell.

  2. Cleopatra: Hate casting is a thing. Of course, only Bad Thinkers call it hate casting. It’s really “creative re-imagining” of how history Should Have Been. If sufficiently backed into a corner they might say “we did it to create a dialog”.

    “Jamie Foxx stars as Marie Curie” is not hate casting.
    Viola Davis as Martha Washington, or Joan of Arc, or Anastasia Romanova, is not hate casting.
    Some negress playing Anne Boleyn is not hate casting.
    Blackfacing the Founding Fathers is not hate casting.
    But!
    Some actual Hawaiian girl voice-acting Lilo (Stich’s friend) IS hateful because she’s supposedly not dark enough (which matters to VOICE acting how?).

    Incidentally, I’m pretty sure the Chinaman on the street would be revolted and infuriated to be conflated with anything Egyptian OR Greek (filthy big-nosed barbarians one and all). And the irony of calling Greeks “barbarians” does not escape me.

    Zelenskyy protecting Ukrainian “spiritual independence” is like Cromwell protecting Ireland. Only with more cocaine and graft.

        1. Every historical figure from Jesus ben Josip to Cleopatra Ptolemy, to Charles Martel & Charlemagne was actually a negro if you listen to black liberation theologians.

  3. Sundance at The Last Refuge has a good take on the firing of Tucker. A lot of smoke and mirrors and various reasons being thrown out there for the sheep to digest. I think Sundance hit the nail on the head. No way the PTB and the DNC are allowing Biden to run again, so the only question is how and when do they push him aside for either Moochelle or Biden’s stooge Susan Rice. Legacy media is in it’s death spiral and net streaming is the future. TC knows this. Interesting summer to say the least.

    1. Susan Rice is no better in a debate than Biden is, but there will be no debates in the upcoming presidential election cycle. Rice is an Obama proxy, not a Biden proxy.

      1. That cretinous woman id very dangerous…I can see it clearly whenever I see a picture. Evil exists, and often they are right there in front of us. (The Bern is similar)

      2. I meant to say Obamas stooge….she was installed in the WH before Biden was inaugurated and she’s been busy.

      1. I believe it was a byproduct of said “settlement” (that no money will change hands).

        The pizza “end” was epic.

        1. I think that Tucker’s dismissal was part and parcel of the Dominion Settlement.

  4. In the words derived from Shakespeare I’d like to pay homage to Blue, a dog with “a heart of gold”

    My condolences to LSP who I know will be very sad but should be proud to have provided Blue a great life.

      1. Yesterday was Jules’ birthday. I didn’t wish her a happy birthday on yesterday’s blog but I did send her an e-mail. She will have a present going her way as soon as I lay my hands on it. There has been something in the works but it’s been slow in coming.

        1. I was my last daughter’s birthday yesterday too! We did sing “Happy Birthday” to her answering machine :-)

    1. I see a political future for Tucker. A RFKjr/Tucker ticket would be very interesting, wouldn’t it?

      RFKjr is speaking (though the media ignores him) about rigged elections and the need to drain the swamp. He’s a disruptive influence in the Democrat pond.

  5. Tucker- Marxist censorship and propaganda are alive and well in America (not unlike that idiot USA/UN gal demanding political prisoners be released all the while Jan 6th PP’s languish in jail for years right down the street from her comrades offices). I’m hoping TC takes some time away from the fray at his place in Maine…then…when the time is right, comes back with a vengeance. He could go full speed with a massive contract, or settle back and pick and choose. We shall see. His Fox (spit,spit) contract is supposedly being paid in full so it’s not about the money, it’s principle. Michael Savage went to podcasts after decades doing radio but was getting ‘corporate’ pressure…just last week said the same (not about the money) in prophetic fashion.

    Was out doing some Tractor Therapy yesterday when ‘The Five’ started…decided for grins to self-flagellate my brain and listened to the entire program to SEE IF they would even mention their colleague. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nyet. TC’s “associates” (aka Bums) are now – like vultures to the carrion – looking to expand “their brand” and were likely told “it’s business as usual”. BTW, apparently some Fox producer she/her/? had filed a “sexual harassment” claim against TC, same play when Fox decided to toss O’Reilly, who at the time was also their big ticket program.

    Upside (always an upside): Tucker’s firing gives me back an hour in the evening each weeknight.

    Blue- Saw that yesterday…they do leave a void. Never easy with the joy shared. If I recall correctly from LSP’s post, Blue ‘went’ quietly on the porch, where he first arrived. The best way.

    I once started a sermon “All dogs go to Heaven”, mainly as a result that any time DrMrsPaulM did a farm call to “assist” we reminded the owners that their “pal” was now whole, romping in God’s Kingdom. Love transcends all.

    1. The departed on Fox (O’Reilly, Carlson, Ed Henry, etc.) are never mentioned again. I had Gutfeld and The Five on DVR recording – now canceled.

      1. Go Woke… Now Sean and Laura (who was a lot better on radio) can anchor the evening with their same-o repeat blather. Or as yesterday’s meme suggests, hire the 26 yo Bud dude-ette, TV handle: “Tucker Johnson”. (stuff just writes itself)

        Talk about another company that believes they can survive a volcanic shot in the foot. Sayonara fools…I hope defeat tastes like a rotten peanut.

        1. Typing dyslexia…”Johnson Tucker”…still funny, but a seriously sad state of affairs.

  6. Tucker hit it out of the park every night! He made Hannity look like a joke….which he is!

    1. Hannity is wholly owned by the Swamp. He wears swamp insignia on his lappels every night to affirm that loyalty. He kisses Lindsay Graham’s ass…

  7. The whole Cleopatra kerfuffle is a nothing burger. Not worth bothering with, IMHO. Ignore it and move on. Sorry for LSP et al. Dogs are special and the loss always hurts.

    1. You’re right that the particular show is unimportant. But the strategy is important to understand. “Hate Casting,” as I call it, is BAIT. The underlying goal is to get someone like me (only more so) to make intemperate public remarks about blacks, or Hollywood. They then use such remarks as evidence of oppression and racism. A side benefit is that some persons, especially kids, will come away from it believing that Cleopatra really was a negress. But furthering the racism/anti-Semitism/oppression claims, by manufacturing their own if the organic supply is insufficient, is the real purpose of this stuff.

  8. I predicted a few weeks ago to wifmann that Susan Rice would be the Dem’s nominee for POTUS.

    Re. Tucker: “The printing press is the greatest weapon in the armoury of the modern commander.” – T.E. Lawrence
    Tucker is/was using our equivalent of the printing press. He had to be silenced before the next election cycle.

    Dogs are better than people.
    While some dogs cross The Rainbow Bridge it sounds like Blue will be carried to Valhalla by the Valkyrie and not across The Styx as is appropriate for a certain Blue Healer of my acquaintance (you never your back on that SOB).
