Tucker Carlson just turned the gun around.
Tucker Carlson is now accusing Trump’s regime of using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext to:
- Abolish the First Amendment
- Round up Americans
- And Nazify the country
Yes, Tucker said that.
And for once… he’s not wrong.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I made it to the beach! This time I headed south to Long Beach Wa, about as far south in Washington as you can go. The drive down was beautiful with fall colors everywhere. I stopped in South Bend on the way down to visit the world’s largest oyster again. I never skip it! 🦪
