There's an ongoing debate, happening almost exclusively on the far left, about whether or not Jimmy Kimmel even said what everyone else thinks he said. Rolling Stone is leading this charge.“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his monologue on Monday. Kimmel’s slightly ambiguous comments came after conservatives spent the weekend blaming the left and transgender people for Kirk’s killing. At the time, the...

Nicholas J. Roske, the 29-year-old who pleaded guilty in April to the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, will be sentenced on October 3.

Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into Charlie Kirk during a speech on Capitol Hill after Congress voted to honor the late conservative activist. On Friday, the House officially passed a resolution honoring Kirk and his legacy, despite 96 Democrats refusing to explicitly condemn last week's heinous murder at Utah Valley University. A total of 60 Democrats voted against the resolution, with an additional 38 voting ‘present’ - or neutral - and 22 not voting at all. Although the resolution passed with a 310-58 vote, some have raised concerns about the stark difference in response compared to the June assassination of...

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sharply criticized the head of the Federal Communications Commission for urging ABC to crack down on the now-benched late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, calling the Trump appointee's comments "dangerous as hell" and comparing his move to a mafia shakedown. ABC, owned by Disney, took "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely on Wednesday, two days after Kimmel faced criticism for his comments on conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. Just hours before the company's decision, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had publicly urged ABC to "take action" in response to Kimmel's remarks, saying in an interview: "We...

The two-term Republican lawmaker claims Dr. Arno Rotgans did the 2020 surgery while she was passed...

No injuries were reported, but the shots hit a window that faces the street, and people were inside the building at the time, according to Sacramento Police. 'We haven't had a lot of attacks on our media partners, and we'd like to keep it that way,' Officer...

Calls to unite in the aftermath of the leftist assassination of Charlie Kirk are naive at best. How are we supposed to unite when we cannot even agree that Ilhan Omar needs to be ejected from Congress, where she represents not America but her preferred country Somalia? Trump’s political genius consists largely of taking common sense positions like this: “I think she’s terrible. I think she should be impeached. I think she’s terrible,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. Appallingly, Republicans could not even agree to censure her. The Blaze reports on the perfidy of RINO...
