Rep. Thomas Massie is certainly in the spotlight. Could he also be on the statewide ballot? The congressman is not denying the possibility, telling the Herald-Leader he “wouldn’t rule it out.” Massie said in an interview Friday he thinks he would win the race for Sen.

A group of leftists in the crowd stood around unafraid as soon as Charlie was shot. One man can be seen raising his fists in the air and celebrating.

Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson referred to a murderous plot of people eating hummus in Jerusalem in a speech comparing the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk to that of Jesus at the activist's memorial service on Sunday, which led many commentators to accuse Carlson of engaging in antisemitic dog whistles and flirting with conspiracies about an Israeli hand behind the September 10 murder. -snip- Anti-Israel activist Jackson Hinkle clipped the segment of the speech and posted it to his X account, remarking, "mic drop."

The Walt Disney Co. could be forced to choose between salvaging its late-night franchise and protecting a multibillion-dollar partnership with the NFL, according to a report. Well-embedded sources predicted to the news site Front Office Sports that the House of Mouse “may ultimately have to make a hard choice” that “may not be much of a choice at all” — which likely means jettisoning Jimmy Kimmel. The stakes are enormous.

Last week, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk. The effort failed, in the words of my colleague Rusty Weiss, because four feckless Republicans went along with a Democratic effort to table the resolution. Omar called Kirk "hateful" and said that the Americans who called him "civil" were "full of sh**." She also reposted a disparaging video about him. After she got a pass, she went on CNN and was asked about the controversy by Kaitlan Collins. Collins brought up the video that called Kirk "Dr....

Left-wing comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: just give amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded that argument piece by piece. His reasoning was so airtight that even Maher’s leftist crowd had no choice but to applaud. It’s not every day you see progressives cheer for enforcement, but logic wins when it’s delivered that well. Maher asked Homan why the agency couldn’t just go easier on those in the country illegally. Homan didn’t mince words: “What I’m saying is, that’s why you have...

Megan Farina is one such person. She found herself causing a great commotion for comments she posted on TikTok She had responded to his death in a TikTok insisting her ‘sympathies don’t lie’ with the conservative activist.
