RFK Jr: Tucker Carlson 'was saying things that nobody has ever said on TV’
This show aired 5 days before Tucker got canned. The Vigilant Fox supposes it was the final straw.
“[Tucker] was talking about advertisers dictating content — pharmaceutical advertisers getting newscasters on the networks to say things about vaccines that weren’t true. And nobody’s ever talked like that,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Democratic presidential candidate. Further, “Tucker’s show is a loss because Tucker had the biggest Democratic audience on TV.”
It’s true, nobody but Tucker could talk like that on MSM. But was he right? Did it cost him his job? Talk to us, what do y’all think?

To sit still for 7 hours a day… nope, not my 8-year-old boy! Or like, kids in general.

The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling
A podcast stirs up new attacks on a beloved author: but is it warranted?
Jessica Reed Kraus chimes in on the popular J.K. Rowling Witch Trails podcast. At the bottom of her essay, Kraus lists celebrity shout-outs in support of Rowling. She also highlights some interesting quotes from Rowling including,
The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge. I struggled with severe OCD as a teenager. If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he would have preferred.

We women have failed the young ones
The consequences are dire, I'm afraid…
Warning: Many on the left and many on the right will disagree with parts of this article. Also, the embedded Parker Posie interview is a goodie. You may remember Posie from our newsletter a few weeks ago. She’s the British feminist who got tomato souped and heckler’s vetoed in New Zealand for saying a woman is an adult human female.
Saving Culture from Itself
The Twitter Files reveal an existential threat
Put simply, the Twitter Files reveal an unholy alliance between Big Tech and the deep state designed to throttle free speech and maintain an official narrative through censorship and propaganda. This should not just disturb us, it should also prod us to action in defense of the First Amendment, free and fair elections, and indeed our country.

Docu: Cali, I love you but I love you
700,000 have left Cali in the last two years. This documentary looks at the trends and policies causing the exodus.
A Hecklers staff anecdote: I’m a former Californian. I left LA just after my first son was born, and he’s 14 this week. Man, I loved LA. We all did. It was a beautiful city full of amazing people, diversity, food, spirit, drive, and of course, beach and weather. But things have changed. Several people I know personally have moved from LA and other big cities during and since Covid. The media blames the high cost of living and new WFH abilities, which is probably the half story. But everyone I know leaving big cities for Florida and Texas are doing so for one reason: freedom.
