Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

I am so sorry he's gone. I loved him

The 2025-26 academic year began with a fell note of doom for the humanities. Dr. Jenn Frey at Tulsa University had built a beautiful Honors College grounded on the Great Books, seminar discussion, and service learning (an experiential model intended to help students ground their intellectual discoveries in practical, hands-on service within specific communities). After taking her program to a position of national prominence, Frey was abruptly released from her deanship, and her program pivoted to look like every other program at every other college. ... There is another story happening at the same time, however, on the fringes of...

'Assassination Culture' While right-wing extremism is regularly dissected and denounced in mainstream media, conservatives have long complained that political violence from the left regularly receives less scrutiny—or is reframed entirely to dismiss the perpetrators' progressive views. This perceived imbalance has fueled a growing belief, often discussed on conservative subreddits, in right-leaning Substacks, and on X, that left-wing violence is minimized or rationalized, while right-wing violence is amplified and condemned. The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a nonpartisan organization that studies the spread of hate, manipulation, and extremism across digital platforms, has raised these concerns recently. Based at Rutgers University, the...

Western Lensman @WesternLensman The despicable ghouls at MSNBC immediately attack Charlie Kirk in wake of shooting — Matthew Dowd blames Kirk's pushing “hate speech” as reason he was shot: "I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." “You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place." Un freaking real.

Ryan Routh, the man on trial for allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump, accused federal prosecutors on Wednesday of making a “racist” choice during jury selection. Twelve jurors and four alternates were picked before breaking for lunch on the third day of jury selection. While the parties were making their final choices, Routh objected that the government struck two African Americans “out of a very small pool.” U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon immediately questioned whether Routh, who is representing himself, had been consulting with standby attorneys on “substantive matters,” noting she previously told him he cannot have “hybrid counsel.”...

Marinaa Medvin @MarinaMedvin There is an AI-altered video circulating showing a close up of a bullet going into Charlie Kirk's neck. The shooting of Charlie Kirk is real. His injury is real. The long-range video of the shooting is real. But the close-up video that just started circulating is AI. Don't share AI-generated videos of real events.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett dismissed Kayla Hamilton, who was murdered at the age of 20 by an illegal alien, as a “random dead” person during a Wednesday markup meeting. Hamilton, who was autistic, was brutally murdered by El Salvadoran 16-year-old gang-affiliated illegal alien Walter Javier Martinez in July 2022 in Aberdeen, Maryland. During a House Judiciary Committee meeting that included a markup of the Kayla Hamilton Act, Crockett accused Republicans of playing politics with people like Hamilton. “I’m tired of y’all cherry-picking one horrible event! Because that’s what y’all do!” Crockett exclaimed. “Y’all find one terrible situation that took...
