Update on Tucker!   TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

APR 27, 2023 – This is an update of yesterday’s newsletter on Tucker Carlson. He was seen riding around on a golf cart with his wife in Florida – happy as a lark.

Yesterday, Megyn Kelly (who used to work at Fox) said that insiders told her that Tucker was NOT fired – but was removed from his show and still held to his contract – the purpose is to hold him hostage until AFTER the election and keep him from doing his own show or working for someone else. That’s what I suspected.

Then, ratings came out that showed Fox lost 47% of their audience by removing Tucker and it impacted all day parts. Then, Tucker came out with a video at 8:01PM ET (the same time he show would have started on Fox) and published it on his Twitter page.

Within one hour – the views had exceeded his old show on Fox. Right now, it has over 50 MILLION views. Watch:

What does a strike on Iran mean?   By  Salem AlKetbi

The Middle East region is undergoing swift geopolitical transformations, whether they are related to new agreements, novel methods of resolving crises and ending conflicts, or reopening communication lines between warring factions.

04-27-2023 12:28 – I read numerous op-eds and analyses lately suggesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might execute a plan to initiate an independent military attack on Iranian atomic facilities to ease domestic troubles and stress. Conversely, he could go for an overseas remedy to Israeli domestic troubles.

The available data doesn’t discount this possibility on paper. Nonetheless, in practice, consecutive Israeli administrations did not carry out significant decisions such as executing a military attack on Iran with all the complications and potential outcomes that some commentators hastily discuss.

Admittedly, there are internal factors that back up the likelihood of a Netanyahu administration adopting such a resolution. Nonetheless, ultimately, there are regional factors that must be factored in when discussing the notion. The Middle East region is undergoing swift geopolitical transformations, whether they are related to new agreements, novel methods of resolving crises and ending conflicts, or reopening communication lines between warring factions. Thus, it is illogical to spark a war during a period when it is vague who is pro or against the idea, let alone that the global strategic atmosphere is highly unstable, as Israel’s primary conventional comrade, the US, is submerged in a whirlpool of escalating global difficulties and challenges, let alone this issue that is not akin to any other problem, but rather one of the most perilous files of US foreign policy.
