A giant statue of Argentinian soccer legend Marcelo Gallardo is raising eyebrows after the sculptor deliberately gave him a huge bulging package.

The ratings of Fox News following the firing of its primetime host Tucker Carlson are in, and the network appears to have cratered its own audience through the decision.
An audience of roughly 1.48 million viewers tuned in to Fox’s 8 p.m. content on Tuesday, according to Mediaite — the first broadcast of that day of the week since Carlson’s firing.
By comparison, Fox averaged 3 million viewers for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” — more than twice as many viewers.
Even former progressive media host Brian Stelter noticed the gaping hole in Fox’s audience metrics.
Megyn Kelly — herself a former Fox News host — compared the network’s firing of Carlson to Bud Light’s decision to market beer with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
“Bloodbath. Not even Bud Lite… lost this much of its customer base,” Kelly said of Fox’s business decision.
Fox even took a significant ratings hit in the very first primetime broadcast without Carlson.
The newly-titled “Fox News Tonight” had an audience of 2.6 million last Monday — itself airing in the hours firing the announcement of Carlson’s firing.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” had an audience of 3.2 million on the previous Monday.
It’s likely some Fox viewers even tuned in while unaware that Carlson had been hastily separated from the network, in a personnel move the company framed as a mutual decision.
Hosting Fox’s primetime broadcast since 2017, Carlson routinely dominated his cable news competition in television ratings — with some broadcasts drawing audiences of as many as 3.7 million, according to Mediaite.
Carlson’s ratings success has left many viewers wondering exactly why the popular host was fired to begin with.
Some reports suggest that he had ruffled feathers with provocative off-screen rhetoric that roused the ire of Fox’s corporate management.
Fox News hasn’t revealed its plans for a permanent replacement for “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

The O’Keefe Media Group Uncovers Potential MASSIVE Money Laundering into Political Campaigns
The 9 minute video was posted on Twitter tonight.
The Gateway Pundit has previously reported on the vast far-left network of donation harvesters that James discusses in the video.
The information was first released by Chris Gleason as was first published at The Gateway Pundit back in December 2022. Chris Gleason found a massive number of “Campaign Finance Mules” making hundreds, even thousands of donations per year.
It turns out that millions in donations were sent to candidates like Raphael Warnock from “money mules” around the country. Warnock was the top beneficiary of all 2022 Democrat candidates of this money distribution scheme. In April 2022, engineer Chris Gleason began working on his first data project involving elections. The project was tied to the 2022 midterm election. This was unique for Chris because he had been involved in tech and data for the majority of his adult career although he never used his expertise on a political project. What he and a small group of others determined was that Washington State had a massive network of campaign finance mules. They identified massive numbers of registered voters in Washington State who were making thousands of donations to Democrat party candidates nationwide and progressive PACs. The individual donation amounts were not large. These donations were small and had been intentionally set up to avoid throwing up reg flags.
These “Money Mules” were not wealthy individuals. They were average Americans, living in an average house in an average neighborhood. Or at least that is how it would appear. The investigative group observed massive patterns and red flags in the data. One of the biggest flags was that all of these campaign finance mules in Washington State had been making donations to Raphael Warnock in Georgia.
Another massive pattern discovered was that these very active donors were all unemployed. It appeared that their full-time job was making donations to Democrat candidates and their campaigns.
How is it that so many unemployed people in Washington State would be donating with such frequency to a Senate race in Georgia? Are people in Washington State more politically active and motivated to give money than the average American?
Chris asked “active” donors what they would think if he told them that he had identified voters who were making thousands of campaign donations in an election year. They all had the same response. “Anyone making that amount of donations is laundering money and is part of a criminal enterprise.”
On Tuesday James O’Keefe used information from Election Watch in Maryland. James then went to the addresses of the top “donation mules” in Maryland. At least one mule slammed the door in his face.
James is asking his army of citizen reporters to knock on doors of the “donation mules” and ask them for a comment.
Actor Kirk Cameron, author of the children’s book As You Grow, said on Thursday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow that creating a moral future for America’s children requires protecting them from “cross-dressing men” pushing left-wing sexual ideologies marketed as “drag queen story hour.”
Cameron remarked, “If we want to see the future look like the kind of place we grew up in, or our grandparents grew up in, we need to start investing and planting seeds today that will grow into these future trees of liberty and blessing for our kids.”
“One of the ways we do that is by being the ones who tell them these stories, not allowing cross-dressing men to tell our children stories that lead our kids in a different direction,” he added.
Last week, Cameron hosted a children’s book reading in Fayetteville, Arkansas. One of the featured books, Elephants Are Not Birds, relays a naturalistic and essentialist understanding of sexual dimorphism.
The book’s promotional description reads:
BRAVE Books and Ashley St. Clair have partnered together to tackle the intense topic of gender in our book Elephants Are Not Birds, which follows the story of an Elephant named Kevin. Most can see that there is a distinct difference between an elephant and a bird but in this story, we’ll see that even those lines are blurred when the lies of Culture the Vulture are accepted as truth.
Culture the Vulture convinces Kevin that his ability to sing is one that only birds have, so logically this means that he is a bird. The lies and logic from Culture the Vulture parallel what our culture is attempting to feed the youth of today. The story Elephants Are Not Birds arrives at a similar conclusion society will arrive at when it comes to the idea of gender identity, boys are not girls and elephants are not birds.
The book reading was attended in protest by “trans activists, who were men dressed in drag.”
Cameron described his recent work as an author and organizer of book readings for children as a moral endeavor in opposition to the wickedness of “left woke ideology.”
“There’s a lot at stake,” he said, “and I want to do everything I can in the time I’ve been given to uproot as much evil that I’m able to.”
He cautioned concerned Americans against apathy.
“Men love to build worlds, and you can either build good ones, or you can build bad ones,” he remarked. “If you stay out of the game, I think you get depressed. I think that we’re made to serve people, and sitting on the couch just watching Fox News — or whatever it is — crying in your Chick-fil-A soup, waiting for somebody else to rescue you is not a good plan.”
The current cultural malaise, Cameron concluded, is part of a divine plan.
He stated, “I believe that this cultural setback that we’ve been experiencing is really a divine setup for a national comeback led by the family of faith.”
“Come to these events,” Cameron urged. “Start your own Brave Story Hour. Do something. Go to a board meeting. Read their stories to your children. Pray. Get involved, because the good guys win, the bad guys lose, every time.”
He concluded, “You’ve just got to stick around long enough to see the end of the story, and God is still writing our story here in America.”.
The New York Times has just reported current mayor of Chicago, Illinois, Lori Lightfoot has lost her re-election bid.
Lightfoot who has been criticized for her inability to put a stop to violent crime in Chicago was only able to obtain 16.5% of the vote and failed to make it into the runoff for the office.
Mayoral candidate Paul Vallas gained 35% of the vote and Brandon Johnson was able to snag 20%.
Both Vallas and Johnson will face each other in a run-off on April 4th.
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Chicago’s election rules require mayoral candidates to garner more than 50% of the vote in order to win, if no candidate is able to meet the 50% threshold then the two candidates with the most votes will face off in a runoff.
LOOK:
Per the New York Times:
Lightfoot of Chicago lost her bid for a second term on Tuesday, The Associated Press said, a resounding defeat that reflected widespread dissatisfaction from voters over her handling of crime and policing in the nation’s third-largest city.
The two candidates to emerge from Tuesday’s first round of voting — Paul Vallas, a former public schools executive, and Brandon Johnson, a county board commissioner — will advance to a runoff election on April 4.
After Paul Vallas received the most votes, the New York Times described Vallas as a Democrat with a conservatize mindset when it comes to tackling crime..
The U.S. Declaration of Independence of 1776, the Alta California Declaration of Independence of 1836 and the Sonoma Proclamation of 1846 declared the Right of the People in the states of Alta California and California respectively to throw off the bonds of tyranny.
The current state of California has become governed by a tyranny, which rivals those expressed in the above documents. Therefore the United States Declaration of Independence of 1776, the Constitution as adapted in 1783 by the Congress of the United States of America, the Alta California Declaration of Independence of 1836, the Sonoma Proclamation of 1846, and the California State Constitution of 1848 Mandate the Right, the Responsibility, the Duty of the People who are suffering the long train of abuses and usurpations at the hands of a tyrannical government to abolish and make new a government by the People and for the People under GOD.
Article IV Section 3 of the United States Constitution
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
United States Declaration of Independence
Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
The State Splitting Process
The Precedence was set in 1861 when West Virginia was split from Confederate Virginia as Virginia tried to secede the Union. The process begins when a state’s legislature first votes to split the state. Once the measure in the form of a resolution passes both the State Assembly and Senate it is submitted to Congress. Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate must vote to pass the resolution in order to split the state.
No State has been brought into the Union who could not demonstrate their ability to self govern. New California will demonstrate a governance system as modeled by the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights…
…New California will be the 6th largest State behind New York (bigger than Illinois and Pennsylvania). It’s Estimated 25-27 seats in the US House of Representatives will go to New California. Old California will become the 2nd most populous state behind Texas and ahead of Florida, losing 25-27 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono party politics the State of California and many of its 58 Counties have become ungovernable. The nature of the State becoming ungovernable has caused a decline in essential basic services such as education, law enforcement, fire protection, transportation, housing, health care, taxation, voter rights, banking, state pension systems, prisons, state parks, water resource management, home ownership, infrastructure and many more. To be sure A recent study issued by the U.S. News and World Report ranked California No. 23 in the nation based on an aggregate score measuring economy, education, infrastructure, crime, and more.
Enter New California State an organization seeking to educate California citizens about their right to form a new state from the State of California. New California State is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The organization is working together with likeminded individuals and groups to reach a common goal: to achieve a state split in accordance with the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Sec. 3).
Founded in 2017 New California State declared its Independence on January 15, 2018, and has conducted 6 Constitutional Conventions across the state, where delegates of the New California State movement came together to construct the New California State Constitution and pass critical legislation to create New California State.
The New California Legislature has to date passed 23 Resolutions including a resolution to ‘Restore the State of California.’
During the 6th Constitutional Convention New California State keynote speaker former Gov. and advisor to President Trump, Mike Huckabee endorsed the New California State.
Elon Musk’s Twitter released internal discussions about censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story Friday night via journalist Matt Taibbi.
The documents reveal widespread internal and external concern at the suppression of the story, a decision made without CEO Jack Dorsey’s knowledge and spearheaded by Vijaya Gadde, then the head of Trust & Safety — Twitter’s top censor. The thread is ongoing at the time of this writing and can be found here:
The documents, mostly internal communications from Twitter and emails with external parties, showed widespread unease with the decision and concerns about how it could be explained to lawmakers and the public.
Several key points from the thread so far:
Aside from Rep. Khanna’s communications, which imagined a future in which newspapers would be unable to publish hacked evidence of war crimes, other Democrats reportedly complained that Twitter had not gone far enough in its censorship of the press.
“Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern,” said Taibbi.
An email from Carl Szabo, one of the tech industry’s top lobbyists in D.C., told Twitter that Democrat lawmakers he spoke to in the aftermath of the decision all believed “social media needs to moderate more,” and complained that the Hunter Biden story had been allowed to travel as far as it did.
Szabo summarized the concerns of Democrats: “They let conservatives muddy the water and claim the Biden campaign look corrupt even though Biden is innocent.”
When pushed on how government might legally press social media companies to censor, Democrat lawmakers reportedly said “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.”
This lines up with what Democrats attempted to do after Biden took office: use the power of the federal government to force more censorship on social media, including the infamous “disinformation governance board” of DHS. The Biden administration is now facing lawsuits from Republican attorneys general arguing it used its power to undermine the First Amendment.
In Congress, Democrats are still trying to pass the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bill that would create a cartel of largely pro-censorship media companies with the power to impose arbitration agreements on tech companies.
Democrats, with the surprising backing of some Republicans, are now trying to force the bill through in a defense spending package, even as conservative senators warn it will increase censorship and further bias social media platforms towards the legacy media.
According to a former Twitter employee who spoke to Taibbi, the decision was poorly thought through, saying “they just freelanced it.”
According to the employee, it wasn’t long before “everyone knew this was f***ed.”

President Trump formally announced that he will run for President in 2024 at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night.
The President was accompanied by former First Lady Melania Trump during his announcement. The announcement was confirmed just moments ago as FEC forms were filed that read ‘Donald Trump for President 2024’
Trump spent much of his announcement hitting on the failures of the Biden administration. discussing Biden’s foreign policy that he said has made America less safe and less respected abroad.
He also criticized the Republican Party for failing to convince voters of the stakes of the midterm elections.
Anticipation was high at Mar-A-Lago leading up to President Trump’s event as supporters flocked to his Florida home eagerly awaiting the announcement.
The event was attended by members of the press and allies who are expected to support him in what could be a contentious primary in 2024 if high-profile Republicans such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis throw their hat in the ring.
One prominent Trump supporter who was present at the announcement claimed that CNN was “getting an earful” from the President’s supporters.
Trump has already been preparing for his 2024 Presidential bid, amassing a nearly $100 million war chest that he will likely use to set the narrative early against potential contenders.
