Wednesday, FNC host Tucker Carlson dissected the new Biden administration’s approach to immigration policy and why it might be offering low estimates on the number of illegal immigrants within the country. The “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host speculated a process was underway by the White House to import as many Democratic voters as possible. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: Have you ever noticed how nobody in Washington can agree on a number? Now math is supposed to be objective except in Oregon where it is racist. But in the real world, you would think that people with functioning calculators could come to similar math-based conclusions once in a while, but not in D.C. Try getting a consensus on unemployment projections or consumer confidence levels from Members of Congress. You can’t even get a straight answer on how many troops will be occupying the Capitol three months from now and that’s something they directly control. Even allowing for the fact that most politicians aren’t capable of math, it is striking. Statistics turn out to be a lot sloppier than they look. So with all of that in mind, it’s pretty amazing to watch virtually everyone in Washington — Republican and Democrat — repeat precisely the same number on one of the most critical problems that we face, and that number is 11 million. That number they tell us is exactly how many foreign nationals currently live here illegally. All the experts say that. There are precisely 11 million undocumented aliens. Now 11 million is a lot. On the other hand, at a time of trillion-dollar spending bills, is it really so many? Eleven million isn’t what it used to be. In any case, that’s exactly how many illegal aliens there are, 11 million, 11 million, 11 million. No more, no less. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Of the 250 million undocumented people in the world today, the United States has 11 million. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The 11 million undocumented immigrants already paid taxes. ...

Celtics Make The Wrong Kind Of History In Blowout Loss To Hawks
By Michael Hurley , CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — There’s not much to say about the Boston Celtics anymore. They are, regrettably, a massive disappointment. READ MORE: 39,725 Minutes! Painfully Long Waits On Vaccine Website As Thousands Of New Appointments Are Filled It’s to the point where even if the Celtics had been able to win handily against the sub-.500 Hawks, it wouldn’t have been a moment worth celebrating. It would simply have been the Celtics doing what they’re supposed to do. Yet they couldn’t even do that. And not only did the Celtics lose, they set some ugly history in the process of their ugly 127-112 defeat. The Celtics allowed the Hawks to hit 23 of their 42 3-pointers. Those 23 makes were the most for a Celtics opponent … ever. Considering the Celtics franchise has been playing basketball for several years, that’s not great news for the 2021 version of the team.

Texas resident has nearly $17,000 deducted from bank account by energy company following winter storm
close Video Texas resident hit with $17,000 bill by energy company after winter storm Scott Willoughby had nearly $17,000 removed from his account for electricity surcharges caused by ‘unregulated’ Texas power grid. A Texas resident had nearly $17,000 automatically deducted from his bank account after Griddy, a Texas Energy Company, imposed surcharges on state residents following a devastating winter storm and subsequent electrical blackout. Scott Willoughby, who joined "America’s Newsroom" Tuesday to discuss the issue, explained that there is no cap on Texas’ unregulated power grids which surged average household electricity costs from 8 to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour to $900 per kilowatt-hour. Willoughby, who had the money in his account to pay the bill, expressed concern that hundreds of thousands of Texas residents will not be able to pay for crippling electrical costs, which average at around $5,000 per household over the course of the seven-day blackout. QUADRIPLEGIC TEXAS MAN HIT WITH $3G POWER BILL AFTER WINTER STORM: 'I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA PAY THIS' "For a lot of people that [bill] will impact them devastatingly," Willoughby said. "No food on the table for their kids, no rent or house payments or car payments –and there’s no recourse because the money’s gone." Video Despite this, Willoughby remained hopeful that residents will be reimbursed for the excess charges. The Texas resident said that the state legislature and Gov. Greg Abbott called an emergency meeting Saturday to look into ways that they can help lessen the charges incurred on homeowners and renters. Griddy said in a statement on its website Thursday, "We know you are angry and so are we. P-----, in fact." The company explained wholesale prices shot up because the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) took control of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid, Monday ...
Police drop charge against Black man, 18, arrested while walking in Texas snowstorm

Police in Texas have dropped a misdemeanor charge against a Black man who was arrested last week while walking home during a snowstorm . Rodney Reese, 18, faced a charge of being a pedestrian in the roadway after he was stopped by police in Plano. He was headed home after working at Walmart last Tuesday, reports said. "There’s a lot of information that we know about this case that we didn’t know at the time. Those officers didn’t know his age. They didn’t know he was 18. They didn’t know he worked at Walmart. They didn’t know where he lived," Plano Police Chief Ed Drain told FOX 4 of Dallas/Fort Worth. QUADRIPLEGIC TEXAS MAN HIT WITH $3G POWER BILL AFTER WINTER STORM: 'I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA PAY THIS' WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE The department released bodycam footage of the incident on Friday, which said that officers responded to a welfare check after a caller reported a Black man "wearing a short-sleeve shirt and shorts" was "stumbling" as he walked down the road amid cold and icy conditions. Reese was found by officers wearing a T-shirt and pants. Drain said the arrest wasn’t consistent with the welfare check, which was the reason officers were called out to investigate. "They should’ve taken him home, is where he should’ve gone," he added. According to police, officers were concerned for his welfare amid the cold weather along with the possibility that he was in "a mental crisis, delusional, or impaired," so they followed him. "I’m on the way home. I’m straight," Reese said in the body cam footage. "Alright, but you’re walking in the middle of the road," an officer responded.
