@CityDeskNYC@FoxBusiness I'd just prefer nobody knew who the hell he was vs. Varney and Kudlow saying his name 300 times a day and saying he'll probably win.
Fox didn’t make Mamdani—they just exposed him. His plan to tax “whiter neighborhoods” is pure class warfare wrapped in race baiting. Same guy pushing $30 wages that’d bankrupt small businesses & rent freezes that collapse housing stock. Fox’s panic is performative. Mamdani’s agenda is the real threat: economic suicide for NYC, dressed as progress.
Cuomo cracked down on anti-Semitism while Mamdani’s allies chant “globalize the intifada.” Fox’s circus doesn’t change the math—Mamdani’s policies are a one-way ticket to Detroit-style collapse.
New Yorkers aren’t falling for the grift.
I was twelve when Born to Run came out. My older brother saw him in Austin in the 70’s, said the bomb was the encore — The FEVER.
Still amazing.

WOW. Never a dull moment w/the markets, even in the dead of summer. @realDonaldTrump added a jolt of electricity as his admin floated he's 'likely to fire' Fed Chair Jay Powell, but then the Prez. denies it on live t.v 3pET EXCLUSIVE: @AtlantaFed Pres. @raphaelbostic joins me LIVE on whether the drama will mean a cut in interest rates sooner vs. later @ClamanCountdown
@TuckerCarlson Each that we lose takes part of us;
A Crescent still abides
Which like the moon some turbid night,
Is summoned by the tides.

Obituary for my father.
Richard Warner Carlson died at 84 on March 24, 2025 at home in Boca Grande, Florida after six weeks of illness. He refused all painkillers to the end and left this world with dignity and clarity, holding the hands of his children with his dogs at his feet.
He was born February 10, 1941 at Massachusetts General Hospital to a 15-year-old Swedish-speaking girl and placed in the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston, where he developed rickets from malnutrition. His legs were bent for the rest of his life. After years in foster homes, he was placed with the Carlson family in Norwood, Mass. His adoptive father, a tannery manager, died when he was 12 and he stopped attending school regularly. At 17, he was jailed for car theft, thrown out of high school for the second time, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.
In 1962, in search of adventure, he drove to California. He spent a year as a merchant seaman on the SS Washington Bear, transporting cargo to ports in the Orient, and then became a reporter. Over the next decade, he was a copy boy at the LA Times, a wire service reporter for UPI and an investigative reporter and anchor for ABC News, covering the upheaval of the period. He knew virtually every compelling figure of the time, including Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, Eric Hoffer, Jerry Garcia, as well as Mafia leaders and members of the Manson Family. In 1965, he was badly injured reporting from the Watts riots in Los Angeles.
By 1975, he was married with two small boys, when his wife departed for Europe and didn’t return. He threw himself into raising his boys, whom he often brought with him on reporting trips. At home, he educated them during three-hour dinners on topics that ranged from the French Revolution to Bolshevik Russia, PG Wodehouse, the history of the American Indian and, always, the eternal and unchanging nature of people. He was a free thinker and a compulsive book reader, including at red lights. He left a library of thousands of books, most dog-eared and filled with marginalia. His reading and life experiences convinced him that God is real. He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency.
In 1979, he married the love of his life, Patricia Swanson. They were together for 44 years, all of them happy. She died sixteen months before he did and he mourned her every day.
In 1985, he moved to Washington to work for the Reagan Administration. He spent five years as the director of the Voice of America, and then moved to the Seychelles as the US ambassador. In 1992, he became the CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and later ran a division of King World television.
The last 25 years of his life were spent in work whose details were never completely clear to his family, but that was clearly interesting. He worked in dozens of countries and breakaway republics around the world, and was involved in countless intrigues. He knew a number of colorful national leaders, including Rafic Hariri of Lebanon, Aslan Abashidze of Adjara, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, and whomever runs Somaliland. He was a fundamentally nonjudgmental person who was impossible to shock, and he described them all with amused affection.
He spoke to his sons every day and had lunch with them once a week for thirty years at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, always prefaced by a dice game. Throughout his life he fervently loved dogs.
Richard W. Carlson is survived by his sons, Tucker and Buckley, his beloved daughter-in-law Susie, and five grandchildren. He was the toughest human being anyone in his family ever knew, and also the kindest and most loyal. RIP.
@RepJasmine Jasmine Crockett is gaslighting to the extreme.
She’s such a fraud and a coward.
She can’t even admit the truth when it’s all on video.
There’s no saving your political career Jasmine.
You’re just a terrible person.
You’re being censured.
Resign.
I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.
Literally, the next line I said was that he was a “Hot A** Mess,” referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition. So, I’m even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump—a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities—are now outraged.
