Generational power dynamics are why we’re in this position. I’m a late Gen-Xer. By some accounting, I’m an early Gen Y/Millenial. I refuse to be lumped into that group of individuals, personally, but that’s not why I’m writing this. Growing up, our parents pressed us to reach for our dreams. I think every good parent would want that for their kids, but I believe every generation’s motivations for that message are different. The Greatest Generation wanted their kids to not repeat the mistakes of the world at the turn of the 20th century. So many died for freedom, and the...

Rosie O’Donnell was caught ranting in a bar in Northern Ireland about Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from his late-night show on ABC, eyewitnesses told The Post. The one-time co-host of ABC’s left-wing chat show The View unleashed another unhinged tirade against her longtime nemesis President Trump at the Old Commercial Bar and Lounge near the Northern Irish town of Downpatrick on Thursday, according to multiple sources. “Now Trump gets to decide who tells late-night jokes,” she griped during a 20-minute drinking session at the pub, which is nicknamed by locals as “Mannie’s” after the 158-year-old tavern’s original owner, according to sources....

A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite have jumped to their social media to decry ABC’s decision to shelve comedian Kimmy Kimmel after her spread disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s killer on his ratings-challenged late-night show. None of these supposed “free speech” advocates spoke up when conservatives were cancelled for far less. Several celebrities, comedians, and others who still have an X account, blasted ABC’s decision and urged people to stand up for the biased, far-left, late-night talk show host. Two members of the Hollywood elite decried this supposed attack on Kimmel’s free speech and both...

Former President Barack Obama is whining about cancel culture after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show following the disinformation Kimmel broadcasted after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said on X, sharing an article on the suspension of Kimmel’s show. He added, “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies...

Liberals are not liking it that Jimmy Kimmel lost his megaphone after telling vicious lies regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Fox News reports that defending decency from Kimmel evokes “disdain and disgust” among Democrats: “I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss and his authoritarian goons,” Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., reacted On behalf of the liberal establishment media, Brian Stelter squeaks, “[T]his really does have a chilling effect across the American media.” When it...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that Pete Buttigieg was her “first choice” as running mate in last year’s presidential election, but such a pairing “was too big of a risk,” according to an excerpt from her upcoming book. Buttigieg, the former secretary of transportation and mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is gay, “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote in a portion of “107 Days” published by The Atlantic. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a black woman, a black woman married...

Nice clip. Shows all these Democrat vermin including Schumer, Omar, AOC and even Kimmel himself rejoicing over Fox sacking Tucker Carlson and seriously in support of legacy media sacking conservative anchors and hosts the Democrats don't like. Bit funny to hear them squeak now over Kimmel isn't it?

The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive." That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump. Chuck Schumer melts down over...

@infolibnews House Speaker Mike Johnson held a "private meeting" with AIPAC and Jewish leaders on Wednesday on Capitol Hill wherein he reportedly pledged to screen out "isolationist" (see: anti-Israel) GOP candidates "to prevent that wing of the party from growing larger in the House." Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), who was also part of the meeting, revealed "he’d been texting recently with Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt about the proliferation of antisemitic conspiracy theories about the killing of influencer Charlie Kirk," Jewish Insider reported.

Thousands gathered at CSU for Charlie Kirk candlelight vigil by: Hanna Powers, Nate BeltSep 18, 2025 FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) — More than 7,000 people filled Colorado State University’s Canvas Stadium on Thursday evening for a vigil honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk after he was fatally shot last week. The vigil was organized by the CSU student chapter of Turning Point USA, whose late CEO and co-founder, Krik, was originally slated to come to campus for the organization’s “The American Comeback Tour” on Thursday. However, the vigil was planned to honor Kirk, after he was shot and killed while speaking...

'The Daily Show' host returned to the news desk Thursday and took a rather unusual tact for mocking conservative blowback to Kimmel's monologue.Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show early to helm the Comedy Central show’s first episode following the suspension of fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Returning to the show (video below) several days before his usual Monday slot at the desk, Stewart threw his audience a curveball: Showing what The Daily Show would be like in a President Trump-controlled media world. The set’s background changed to a gaudy gold, Stewart played the role of an obsequious and...

NEWS Disney’s CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Dana Walden made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s show after he planned to double down and go on camera to defend his lie that MAGA voters killed Charlie Kirk rather than "kowtow” to the outrage, Hollywood Reporter reports. They yanked him because they “thought that would fan the flames” as Nexstar and Sinclair affiliates dropped him. “The advertiser calls began to roll in and then the big affiliate conglomerates, Nexstar and Sinclair, threatened to preempt the show.” This is market reaction, and not tied to FCC chair Brendan Carr’s actions. Kimmel even...

A smirking Jimmy Kimmel emerged from his Los Angeles home Thursday afternoon — to drive himself to his high-powered attorney’s office — since getting canned by ABC over his offensive Charlie Kirk comments. The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, 57, was spotted in his sleek black Audi S8, wearing shades and flashing the sinister grin as he arrived at a Century City complex that houses several law firms, according to photos snapped by The Post. The comedian was meeting with his attorney, Karl Austen, a day after the network “indefinitely” yanked his longtime late-night show over venomous remarks — which he...

George Soros has been the go-to bogeyman for the American right — and right-wing leaders around the world — for years. The 95-year-old billionaire has funneled money into causes around the globe, supporting democratic endeavors, immigration efforts and criminal justice reform through his Open Society Foundations, which he founded in 1979. In the intervening decades, Soros, with his large network of progressive causes and opposition to strong-arm governments, has become the target of conspiracy theories in areas that range from Malaysia to his birth country of Hungary, where a so-called “Stop Soros” law made it illegal to aid undocumented immigrants...

Hong Kong’s push to become a global gold trading and reserve hub highlights a sharp contrast between real assets and endlessly printed fiat money. While the United States continues expanding its money supply — diluting purchasing power through debt-driven policies — China and now Hong Kong are moving in the opposite direction, stacking tangible wealth in the form of gold. By targeting storage capacity of over 2,000 tonnes within three years and rolling out tokenized gold investment tools, Hong Kong is positioning itself at the center of a new gold-based financial system. Unlike dollars that can be created with a...

Türkiye Today reports that continued excavations at the site of Cavustepe Castle revealed a remarkable cache of projectiles ready for use by Urartian soldiers around 2,700 years ago. The recent investigation focused on a storage facility and area known as the "upper fortress." As the team began removing layers of sediment from within one structure, they uncovered a collection of egg-sized slingshots. Some had been gathered from a nearby riverbed, while others had been made from clay. While individual slingstones have sometimes been discovered at other Urartian sites, Van Yuzuncu Yil University archaeologist Rafet Cavusoglu said, this find is exceptional...

Federal law enforcement agencies, a new assessment released Thursday, said they are "tracking several threats of unknown credibility" against people planning to attend Sunday's Charlie Kirk memorial in Glendale, Arizona. Those people include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and members of the Kirk family, according to the report. "Violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders may view the memorial service or related events as attractive attack targets due to the attendance of these individuals, other senior US government officials, state and local government officials, and political activists and due to major international media attention," according to the memo issued...
