Fox news hasn't deleted Tucker's "Americans have been trained to hate Putin..." article

Since the day that Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington have told you it's your patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin. It's not a suggestion. It's a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason.

----------------------

Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious: What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Is he trying to snuff out Christianity? Does he eat dogs?

With Hearst Castle's long closure, the Central Coast town of San Simeon is struggling

With Hearst Castle’s long closure, the Central Coast town of San Simeon is strugglingIt's just before noon in the middle of the week at the Big Sur Restaurant in San Simeon. Owner Maura Valencia is standing across an empty lunch counter from me as I ask her the obvious question, the one she probably doesn't want to hear, "Where is everyone?"

She makes a sweeping gesture with her arms around the cozy, but empty, cafe and then gives me a smile and a shrug. "What do you see?" she says. "Where are they? You tell me."

San Simeon is a town of 658 residents, located along California's oceanfront state Route 1. It's the exact midway point on the coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco — approximately 240 miles away from the state's two most populous metropolitan areas.

Driving through, it's a get-distracted-and-you’ll-miss-it-entirely single row of hotels, motels, restaurants and a liquor store. The local economy is reliant upon Hearst San Simeon State Park and Hearst Castle, which has been closed by California State Parks since March 2020 — first for COVID and then for road work.

A Kennedy's Crusade Against Covid Vaccines Anguishes Family and Friends

A Kennedy’s Crusade Against Covid Vaccines Anguishes Family and Friends
February 26, 2022



“He was an extraordinary older brother,” she said the other day. “He’s brilliant, he’s well read, he cares deeply, he is extremely charismatic. He has a childlike buoyancy and lightness to him. He’s a beautiful person in a million different ways.


“And then he has this.”

Nearly 60 years after Bobby took his sister along for the excursions into the woods, the son and namesake of Robert F. Kennedy, the New York senator, attorney general and Democratic presidential candidate assassinated on June 5, 1968, has become an unimaginably polarizing figure in this tight-knit political family.

Once a top environmental lawyer who led the charge to clean up the Hudson River in New York, the third eldest child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy has emerged as a leading voice in the campaign to discredit coronavirus vaccines and other measures being advanced by the Biden White House to battle a pandemic that was, near the end of February, killing close to 1,900 people a day.

“The minute they hand you that vaccine passport, every right that you have is transformed into a privilege contingent upon your obedience to arbitrary government dictates,” he told a cheering crowd at a rally against vaccine mandates in Washington last month. “It will make you a slave.”

Mr. Kennedy’s rise as the face of the vaccine resistance movement has tested as never before the solidarity of a family that has for decades remained resolute in the face of tragedy and scandal. It has rattled the Hollywood and entertainment circles that he inhabits, while showing how the vaccine debate is upending traditional political alliances.

GOP candidate says "back the blue" -- but campaigns with felon who plotted to kill an FBI informant

Donald Trump's pick to be the next governor of Arizona, Kari Lake, a former local television reporter with no political experience, praises cops, touts "back the blue" on her campaign website and vows to increase resources to tackle violent criminals. She's also hit the campaign trail multiple times with a convicted felon who was accused by the Justice Department (DOJ) of trying to kill an FBI informant.

According to a finance report recently amended by Lake's campaign, the former TV news anchor who has repeatedly echoed Trump's election lies paid $2,000 to Kenneth Ulibarri, a repeat violent offender who pleaded guilty after the DOJ accused him of trying to hire a hitman to kill an FBI informant and an unrelated state charge of battery on a peace officer.

Ulibarri spoke at Lake's "Stand for Freedom" rally in Scottsdale last July, the first rally of her campaign. He was introduced as a man who's "been addicted to drugs, imprisoned, and totally hopeless" before a "miracle came" and he became a small business owner "on a mission to help others break free from addiction." Ulibarri used his rally speech to rail against "liberal policies that are destroying our country" and a laundry list of conservative culture war issues while touting his nonprofit work helping teenagers become "soldiers for Christ."

"She stands for all the things that I believe in," Ulibarri said, adding that he would not send his kids to public school or college because they might "come back with purple hair and gay."

GOP Arizona Guv Argues It's Better To Have A White Nationalist In Office Than A Dem

On Thursday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) defended his independent expenditures spending half a million dollars to support far-right Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers (R), who cozies up to white nationalists and spews white nationalist talking points, in the 2020 election against her Democratic opponent.

Ducey made it clear he still stands by the cash boost, telling reporters that he’s “proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish.”
Oh, “and she’s still better than her opponent, Felicia French,” the Republican governor said.
