He is running out of topics to be OUTRAGED!!! about.

It is a nice looking ball park. And Globe Life didn't pay for it -- that is just naming rights for X years.

Thank you.

It's a pole barn with an office trailer out front. Add some cows and pickup trucks to pull open the roof and you'll have a facility that is full Texas.

I sorta wonder what mall he is referring to. Most remaining indoor malls, having been tossed up in the 70s and 80s are anything but an architectural wonder. Boring on parade is more like it.

I see the Tempe Marketplace is one of those new-styled urban centers (and more outdoors) that is the current fad in the shopping world. I somewhat like the look as compared to other older malls. That is probably the one he hates. It is more, um, eccentric in look, especially from the highway (at least in Google Street View).

Being Tuck.. he could also just be making stuff up.

Full disclosure... I hate shopping and avoid hanging around malls, though I will spend lots of time and some money in a Cabela's. Still, if I had to be around a mall, or whatever they call those new things, I would prefer the Tempe one over most indoor ones, though the indoor ones are probably nice and quiet without the crowds.

Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro are In A (poot) Fight. I’m here for it, but the entertainment level so far has been a bit low without much for fireworks. Here’s to hoping, though! The source of the conflict appears to be Carlson being a bit isolationist and calling for us to take care of our own over other countries.

Carlson talking smack about Shapiro.

Cabela's is the Macys for the camo-sexual crowd. It has always been the most expensive outfitter, but at least they sold a lot of American and Canadian made product. Now they are just an overpriced Chinese outlet store.

Carlson is making some pretty bold accusations on the former bird site.
https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1745863377493143906
Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson wrote: Gonzalo Lira, Sr. says his son has died at 55 in a Ukrainian prison, where he was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments. Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed.
Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson wrote: Ep. 47 Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen who’s been tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime of criticizing Zelensky. Biden officials approve of this, because they’d like to apply the same standard here. The media agree. Here’s a statement from Gonzalo Lira’s father.

(00:00) American Zelensky critic jailed in Ukraine
(05:14) Where is our State Department?
(08:40) Lira arrested after criticizing Biden
(11:49) Is Ukraine the democracy we’re told it is?

Business Insider had a long article about this situation -

Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk have rallied behind an American 'red pill' dating coach turned Russian propagandist detained in Ukraine

Some quotes from that article -
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Lira, who had lived in Ukraine for several years after marrying a Ukrainian woman, shifted to commentating on the war on YouTube, Telegram, and Twitter.

He often peddled Kremlin propaganda — denying war crimes and describing the invasion of Ukraine as "one of the most brilliant invasions in military history."

He's also attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy extensively, calling him "the cokehead of Kyiv" and calling his government a "neo-Nazi regime."
A Ukrainian government department that combats disinformation, Spravdi, said in a statement Monday that Lira was not jailed for criticizing Zelenskyy, but for "justifying Russian aggression against Ukraine," a crime under article 436-2 of the country's criminal code, and for violating the terms of his bail.

According to Spravdi, Lira justified the invasion by claiming a "neo-Nazi regime" ran Ukraine, a bogus claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin has long touted, and he's denied the extent of Russian attacks on civilians, including the massacre in Bucha.
Anyway, a very long article, so read the complete article at the link above.

The reported appearance of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in the Russian capital has sparked intense speculation over the purpose of the conservative media personality's visit to Moscow.

Carlson arrived in Moscow on February 1, and was spotted attending the Bolshoi Theater in the capital, according to Russian outlet Mash.

Questions quickly swirled over why the TV anchor would have traveled to Moscow, and whether he intended to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin during the visit.

"Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin," Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

Referencing Greene's comments on Sunday, Russia's state-backed news agency, Tass, reported that Kremlin press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, had said in 2023 that the world would have to "wait and see" whether Putin would speak with Carlson.

Carlson said in late September 2023 that he had attempted to interview the Russian leader, but that the U.S. government had blocked the move. "I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me," Carlson told Swiss magazine, Die Weltwoche.
