I Really Think You Should Read Tucker Carlson’s Last Speech Before Fox Fired Him

Tucker Carlson gives a speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala in National Harbor, Md., on April 21, 2023.Photo: Leigh Vogel/The New York Times/ReduxSoon the quadrillion online takes on Tucker Carlson’s firing by Fox News will be forgotten. Someday, Carlson himself will fade from human memory. Eventually people will think about cable news as much as they today ponder semaphore.Yet I believe that one act of Carlson’s — his last pre-termination appearance, an April 21 speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala — will endure for millennia. It is a gargantuan achievement and will abide like a pyramid in the sand, an eternal monument to humanity’s infinite vanity, self-deception, and self-congratulation.I’ve found it difficult to choose snippets of Carlson’s words to quote. It’s like trying to explain the perfection of Michelangelo’s David to someone, but being only able to show them its fingers, nipples, and wrinkly foreskin. You need the whole experienc...

Napoli fans already celebrating in anticipation of title

NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Napoli fans are already celebrating in anticipation of sealing the club’s first Italian league title since the days when Diego Maradona played for the club.Hours before Napoli’s match against Salernitana later Sunday, fans waved flags in Italy’s green, white and red colors that featured a “3” on them to signify what would be the team’s third Serie A championship after Maradona led the Partenopei to their first two titles in 1987 and 1990.Napoli needs to hope that second-place Lazio doesn’t win at Inter Milan in an earlier match and then it needs to beat Salernitana to clinch with six rounds to spare.Napoli entered the day with a 17-point advantage over Lazio.Napoli Mayor Gaetano Manfredi told The Associated Press in a recent interview that there will be “a big earthquake of joy” when Napoli seals the title.Napoli’s game against Salernitana at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was moved from Saturday to Sunday following requests from local authorities in or...

Caleb Kilian looks for positives after getting roughed up in Chicago Cubs loss: ‘He’s not ready’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:42 GMT

Chicago Cubs right-hander Caleb Kilian tried to focus on the positives from his wayward spot start.His big-league season debut quickly unraveled Saturday in a 40-pitch first inning in which the Miami Marlins sent 11 batters to the plate. Five runs, four hits, two walks and two hit batters later, Kilian’s outing was already off track.The Cubs tried to chip away at the five-run deficit but ultimately fell short in a 7-6 loss. Kilian surrendered seven runs and 10 hits in 3⅓ innings.Asked what he took away from Kilian’s start, manager David Ross replied, “That he’s not ready — still got learning to do, still needs some seasoning.”Kilian, 25, became out of whack with his delivery, particularly his arm path. He felt too quick on the mound, causing his arm to lag and spray his pitches around the zone.The lack of control arm side in the first resulted in uncompetitive pitches against right-handed hitters. He fell behind in the count to seven of the ...

How Darnell Wright — not Jalen Carter — became the headliner of the Chicago Bears’ 2023 draft class

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:42 GMT

The most intense final exam of Darnell Wright’s life came on a Saturday morning earlier this month.April 8, 11 a.m., the Anderson Training Center in Knoxville, Tenn.Wright’s pre-draft journey to the NFL was almost complete. But now the Chicago Bears, who had hosted Wright at Halas Hall a few days earlier, were on campus at the University of Tennessee, intent on confirming their beliefs.General manager Ryan Poles — with offensive line coach Chris Morgan in tow — had designs on obtaining peace of mind for the NFL draft, even if it came, temporarily, at Wright’s expense.Poles wanted to feel certain the player he was leaning toward selecting with a top-10 pick had his preferred strands of football DNA. If the Bears were going to invest in an offensive tackle to support the growth of third-year quarterback Justin Fields, Poles wanted to identify a big, athletic standout who was fueled by a nasty competitive spirit.The 6-foot-5, 333-pound Wright made 42 start...

GOP election officials walking fine line on fraud, integrity

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:36:42 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Republican secretaries of state in Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri have promoted their states’ elections as fair and secure. Yet each also is navigating a fine line on how to address election fraud conspiracies as they gear up campaigns for U.S. Senate or governor in 2024. The split-screen messaging of Ohio’s Frank LaRose, West Virginia’s Mac Warner and Missouri’s Jay Ashcroft shows just how deeply election lies have burrowed into the Republican Party, where more than half of voters believe Democrat Joe Biden was not legitimately elected president. Even election officials who tout running clean elections at home are routinely pushing for more voting restrictions and additional scrutiny on the process as they prepare to face GOP primary voters next year.All three withdrew their states last month from the Electronic Registration Information Center, a bipartisan, multistate effort to ensure accurate voter lists. LaRose did so less than a month after calling t...
