As 91-year-old Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch carves his final deals before heading to the big newsroom in the sky, the world’s focus is beginning to turn to his son and heir apparent, Lachlan . And according to The Daily Beast’s Editor At Large Lachlan Cartwright, there’s more to Murdoch junior than meets the eye. He explains on this week’s episode of The New Abnorma l : “It’s important to note that Lachlan’s politics are far more conservative than his father.” When quizzed by podcast co-host Danielle Moodie how that could even be possible, Cartwright replies: “It is possible. He is staunchly more conservative than his dad and so I think if anything, you may see some of that appear in some of the titles throughout the empire. “Lachlan’s close to Tucker Carlson. Tucker and Lachlan speak often and Lachlan is a big advocate for Tucker. He is very much on side with a lot of the politics that is presented on Fox News.” Subscribe to The New Abnormal on Apple Podcasts … [Read more...] about Why Lachlan Murdoch Is Even Scarier Than His Father Rupert

During an appearance on Fox News Channel on Sunday, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said recent findings by the House Republican investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings were “just the beginning.” “There was something on the laptop that was also informative, where Hunter Biden is talking to a colleague, somebody who was representing the China partnership, right?” FNC host Maria Bartiromo asked. “Yes, there was a message that Hunter was very frustrated with one of these business partners in China, that he had done every blanking thing they had ever asked of him,” Comer replied. “And, of course, this would have been when Joe Biden was vice president. And he reminded them that they had never done anything in return for him. And then, a few weeks later, this $3 million wire appears in the Robinson Walker account. And the very next day, they distributed money to Hunter Biden, and then at least two other family members and possibly three family … [Read more...] about Comer: Hunter Biden Revelations ‘Just the Beginning’

(CNN) The family of Bruce Willis has announced that the actor has been diagnosed with a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia, or FTD for short. In a statement shared Thursday, the 67-year-old star's family stated that while the news "is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis." "Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce's condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research," the statement said.

0 Politics & Government Village trustees talk about a drop in the police pension account. David Giuliani , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply BURR RIDGE, IL – A couple of Burr Ridge trustees expressed concerns last week about the decrease in the money on hand in the village's police pension account. According to village numbers, the account is expected to drop by more than $2.5 million from 2021 to the next budget year, which starts May 1. That would leave the fund at $21 million. Speaking about the pension fund, Trustee Russell Smith noted the gap between next year's projected $1.3 million in income and the $1.5 million in spending. That is happening even though the village is adding $84,000 more in village money to the account more than what state law requires, officials said. "That tells me that we're not doing that great of a job," Smith said at a Village Board meeting. Pointing to what's in … [Read more...] about ‘Our Checkbook Is Declining’: Burr Ridge Official
