Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, November 11, 2026

"[H]ow can National Geographic or the Smithsonian -- like, if I'm the editor of National Geographic, I'm, I don't know. I'm assigning piece after piece, like, how were the pyramids built? How did they get the stones 300 feet in the air? Like, how did that happen? No one even asks. And it's considered wrong to ask." -- Tucker Carlson

People do ask that question, Tucker. They even do research on it. You might know this if you paid more attention at Trinity College instead of having a 1.9 GPA.

Pyramids: Solving the Mystery
smithsonianchannel.ca

... How were the pyramids built? And how have they stood up over time? Thanks to CGI imagery and footage filmed from the sky, this series sets out to relive the construction of the pyramids and to recreate Egypt as it was more than 5,000 years ago. ...

Mr Carlson's question lead me to another question ...

What is his apparent problem with educational-oriented channels and streamers?

Why does he criticize them?

As for me, I like to think that advanced space aliens visit Earth every few millennia, and try to help life along.
Things are so weird right now I wouldn't blame them if they decided it was time for the Earth to stand still for a bit.
But that is a daydream, and science does ask those questions all the time.
Does remind me of that opening scene in Stargate SG-1 when the phd tries to convince a hall full of experts that what they know to be true just ain't.

Reminds me of the opening scene of Stargate SG-1 when the phd Daniel tries to tell a roomful of experts that they are wrong as to who built the pyramids...
Science asks those questions all the time. One day, far into the future, some human will be asking just how those Mars Rovers got on the surface of Mars...

Hey, Tucker: If a tree falls deep in the forest and there is nobody closer than 10,000 miles away, does it make a sound?

That ought to keep the wee lad busy through lunchtime.

"No one even asks."

Ancient Astronaut Theorists ask all the time!

I thought ol' Tucker was supposed to be one of the "smart ones".

Oh, well...

The "how" isn't nearly as mysterious as the why.

Your boy Trump is trying to build a giant useless Arch.

You're a fucking retard if you find that mysterious as to the "why."

Fuck how stupid you are.
