The legacy media are now portraying multi-millionaire Jimmy Kimmel as a victim of censorship after ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! for falsely linking Charlie Kirk’s suspected murderer to MAGA. The irony? Kimmel has repeatedly mocked actual victims of censorship, particularly those silenced by Big Tech. Let’s rewind to Jan. 8, 2021, when Kimmel gloated over Twitter’s permanent ban of then-President Donald Trump while he was still in office. “LIVE LOOK – Trump’s bathroom,” Kimmel sneered at the time, sharing a photoshopped image of Trump sitting on a toilet with a phone in hand, displaying the @realDonaldTrump Twitter profile as...

We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’…” the account that...

The man suspected of firing 3 shots into the window of an ABC affiliate in California after the Kimmel decision is a former teacher's union legislative director whose X feed is full of far-left rhetoric encouraging escalation.

Text mentions an X account with anti-Trump commentary and quotes about an authoritarian oligarchy, CBS, FBI, AG, university presidents, SCOTUS, public radio, ICE, and fighting if an election was stolen.

In the 1970s, Hamburger Helper became a staple on American dinner tables as families, strained by inflation and soaring beef prices, looked to turn a pound of ground beef into an entire meal. These days, those same pressures are why the flavored pasta mix is coming to the rescue again. While most food companies are seeing declines in consumer demand for their products, sales of Hamburger Helper are up 14.5 percent in the year through August, getting an extra bump from its appearance on an episode of “The Bear” in June, according to the company that owns the brand, Eagle...

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that the government, in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, may start to target “hate speech.” In a podcast interview the AG stated that hate speech isn’t free speech and that her office may prosecute those who cross the line. Her comments outraged many on the right, who correctly see “hate speech” as a dubious concept engineered to suppress conservative views. It’s also an unconstitutional concept, as our laws recognize hate speech as free speech protected by the First Amendment. This was affirmed by Charlie Kirk himself. “Hate speech does not exist legally in...

Tennessee Ernie Ford wasn’t the first to record ‘Sixteen Tons,’ but he made it his signature song in 1955, and the title track of an album released in 1960. Tennessee Ernie Ford wasn’t the first artist to record “Sixteen Tons,” but he made it his signature. The song, inspired by the travails of the real-life coal miners of Kentucky, was first recorded by one of his forerunners on the Capitol label, Merle Travis, in 1947. That popular version, of a song that bore Travis’ songwriting credit from then on, didn’t show up on the Billboard charts on the day, even...

Mangione is accused of killing Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in December 2024. The high-profile assassination drew national attention in the days after Thompson’s death.

“The Jews then said to Him, ‘What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews then said, ‘It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?’ But He was speaking of the temple of His body. So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken” (John 2:18–22). The Jewish authorities completely missed the...

One week after the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a local university, people of Utah professed unity in their conversations with Euronews. Yet undercurrents of violence and a commitment to guns remained. Driving home from work in the small Utah city of Orem, David Young tells Euronews that the area is filled with “all different faiths and types of people, and pretty much every type of person you can imagine.” “But it is a family neighbourhood," Young quickly adds. Young is the mayor of the 100,000-person town which became the centre of global media attention last week, when a conservative...

“The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; and to those who were selling the doves He said, ‘Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.’ His disciples remembered that it was...

The abandoned airfield in Afghanistan was once a symbol of American power. Trump wants it back.For nearly 20 years, the Bagram air base stood as the sprawling symbol of American power in Afghanistan and as the heart of the long U.S. military intervention there. The Biden administration secretly evacuated the base on July 1, 2021, a few weeks ahead of its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Afghan army left in control of the base surrendered to the Taliban.Now, President Donald Trump says he wants Bagram back. “We gave it to them for nothing,” he said in in London on Thursday....

Hopefully an end to this half-activist, half-entertainer, full fraud.Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC feels less like censorship than comeuppance. The comedian who once built his reputation on gleeful political incorrectness now finds himself hoisted by his own progressive petard, pulled off air after suggesting Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer was a Trump supporter rather than what he actually appears to be — a far-left fanatic with a taste for blood.Don’t confuse this for another cancel culture moment. It’s the predictable end of a peculiar American transformation. (RELATED: Pull ABC’s Broadcast License? After the Last Few Days? Hell, Yes!)Kimmel began as...
