Former MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd tried to defend the controversial comments he made about Charlie Kirk this week and took a swipe at his former employer Friday for caving to a "mob." Dowd was dropped by the progressive network after suggesting the conservative activist's "hateful" rhetoric had prompted the shooting in Utah that ultimately claimed his life, but he insisted he didn't know Kirk was the victim at the time of his remarks. "At MSNBC I have made nearly 1,000 appearances, speaking on a diverse range of topics and always consistently condemned gun violence and political violence of any kind...

An adaptation of a 1979 Stephen King novel, The Long Walk, opens in theaters today, but Republican senators are suggesting that the extremely online left-wing novelist take his own long walk... off a short pier. In a classless post about the murder of Charlie Kirk, King claimed Kirk “advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’.”Senator Mike Lee of Utah, the state where Kirk was assassinated, didn’t take a shining to this statement. Lee immediately hopped on X, saying that Kirk’s estate should sue King for “this heinously false accusation.” Ted Cruz also stood by Kirk. In a tweet for the...

@VigilantFox Bill Maher delivers a brutal message to Democrats still calling Trump “Hitler.” Kirk is dead, and Maher has had enough of this sh*t. “Okay, first of all, a$$holes, he’s not Hitler. Okay? An insult to everybody in the Holocaust, to begin with. Second of all, calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassination. Let’s put a sh*tload of that away, shall we?”

New York Liberty player Natasha Cloud unleashed a torrent of racially-charged posts on X Friday after the identity of the suspected assassination of Charlie Kirk was revealed in Utah. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Friday that law enforcement arrested the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. Cloud deleted an X post that prompted backlash, in which she made presumptions about the alleged killer's family's political beliefs. "So how y'all gone twist this? Raised in a good middle class family, dad was an officer/church leader, whole family of Republicans and gun owners [and] Trump supporters," Cloud said in the deleted post. Cloud left...

Blanca Manchon, 38, enjoyed a glittering career on the water after competing at her first Olympic Games as a 17-year-old - and went on to win seven world championships including a gold at the 2018 Mediterranean Games.

To make matters worse, she was even dropped from...

We knew that the left’s response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination would be ugly, but it was uglier than anyone could have predicted and infinitely more stupid, too. It was uglier because hordes of people celebrated the death of a young father because they disagreed with his ideas

Captain Jacoby Williamson, who has worked in multiple positions with the Marines since 2013, sent out an Instagram snap showing an interview segment Kirk was doing called 'DEI in the cockpit.'

The post was brought to the attention of the LibsOfTikTok account, who asked: 'Hi @PeteHegseth, can you please fire this lunatic?' Later, Chief Pentagon Spokesperson...

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views,...

(Sep. 12, 2025) — Introduction As the “birthright citizenship” issue strolls its way through the lower federal courts, its related “kissing cousin” issue – the “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) presidential eligibility restriction – remains on a back burner, simmering in a pot of widespread electorate, academic and media indifference. Happily, one of the few Internet sites where these issues are not treated so casually is the one you are now visiting: The Post & Email. To that point, two recent federal appellate court decisions may play a significant role in again bringing the nbC issue to a front, instead of...

An American icon was assassinated. In a nation whose foundation is free speech and religious liberty, Charlie Kirk was murdered (at least it seems glaringly apparent) for exercising those freedoms. Charlie transformed conservatism in America not only for people of all ages. He was pro-Jesus, pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Constitution. He proved that Truth was always worth the hard work and intellectual pursuit. Without a college degree, he exposed the moral rot and academic dishonesty in higher education and in our politics. Is there any equivalent to Charlie Kirk in the progressive Left? Is there any leftist who would be willing...
