Businessman and Media personality Patrick Bet-David recently appeared on Jubilee to defend Capitalism against 20 socialists. What followed was masterclass on the topic of why socialism fails. .... - Hiding behind altruistic motives, one debater claimed that he “served humanity” as a substitute teacher and tutor. Then he wondered why he wasn’t worth more in the market, even as he presented himself as a homeless guy wearing a dress. - Another debater admitted to his disability and mental illness, although he blamed it squarely on capitalism, and then refused the offer of psychiatric help on PBD’s dime. - Multiple speakers...

Qatar's Longstanding Support for Genocidal Jihadi Hamas: CNN's Islamic Nada Bashir Spins Lies to Deflect Terror Ties. CNN, September 11, 2025: NADA BASHIR, CNN Correspondent: Well, Brian, that interview given to CNN by the Qatari prime minister really highlights and illustrates the clear discord that there is now between the Qataris and the Israelis, ... And those words of criticism that we heard from the Israeli prime minister around Qatar's decision to host Hamas officials there have also been rejected by the Qatari prime minister who highlighted that that decision to host Hamas's negotiating teams and officials was taken in...

As expected, Barry has done it again. Obama never misses a chance to prove just how tone-deaf he really is. Right now, the left is in full-blown “fake news shuffle” mode, scrambling to downplay the obvious reality of extreme left-wing political violence. They’re pretending it’s some big mystery why Charlie Kirk, one of the brightest, strongest voices in right-wing activism, was assassinated. Just look at the nonsense from Senator Cory Booker, who actually claimed the assassination of Charlie Kirk wasn’t “partisan.” Paul A. Szypula: Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ) says the taking of Charlie Kirk’s life isn’t a partisan issue. This...

In the boardgame RISK the goal is world domination. You achieve that by battling other players within and across continents. The best strategy is to take and hold Australia. Once secured you can build up your troops while defending the single point of access to keep your opponents at bay then attack in a methodical style and slowly expand. This strategy doesn’t always work, but the notion of finding an easily defendable base where you can husband resources and use it as a launching pad to attack others is sound. We’re actually seeing that strategy play itself in real life...

I clipped the video to start with Jack's Eulogy

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump should tone down his rhetoric in response to the Charlie Kirk assassination:

There was a clip doing the rounds a few months ago from Charlie Kirk’s clash with students at the Cambridge Union. It featured Kirk going head to head with a fidgeting posh oddball whose ginger bouffant defied gravity. Anyone who’s ever visited Cambridge will be familiar with this kind of kid: woke, pompous, his arrogance entirely out of proportion to his intellect. Tell me this, said Kirk: ‘In the conflict of Israel vs Hamas, who’s the good guy?’ His diminutive adversary twitched and stuttered, then finally spoke. ‘Both Hamas and the Israeli government are evil’, he said, giving perfect voice...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Kelly Carmena, a Criminal Law Professor at @SouthernULaw, reportedly made posts on Facebook WISHING for the death of Charlie Kirk moments after he was shot. This person teaches LAW at a PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. We reached out to @SouthernULaw for comment, but they did not respond.

Charlie Kirk was murdered during a debate.Here were his last words:Questioner: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?Charlie Kirk: Too many.Questioner: Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?Charlie Kirk: Counting or not counting gang violence?Then he was shot and killed. And the feds say the ammo the shooter left behind was engraved with “transgender ideology.” Quite a coincidence, huh?As of this writing, we don’t know who did it or exactly why. But a lot of Kirk’s self-styled enemies sure are happy...

Forget commemorating the thousands of lives lost on 9/11. The Economist is instead pushing readers to float the idea of socialism firmly being established as the left’s bulwark against Trumpism in New York. Talk about completely butchering your priorities. In a crazy September 11 piece, the British magazine sought to downplay communist Democratic New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s affiliation with the radical Democratic Socialists of America party. In “Who’s afraid of the Democratic Socialists,” the outlet was giddy over the fact that they could “prove to be the left’s populist alternative to Trumpism.” For Mamdani, The Economist tried...

Teachers in Florida FIRED for openly celebrating Charlie's death, despite warnings not to do so. DeSantis doesn't mess about. Who wants such evil teachers around their kids?

Students were evacuated from the University of Massachusetts in Boston amid reports of an active shooter near the East Hall building.

Ben Shapiro claims more political violence has come from the left than the right.Following the death of ultra-right-wing conservative Charlie Kirk, who was murdered while hosting an event at Utah Valley University, his friend and fellow pundit Ben Shapiro had a few thoughts he needed to share. According to a piece Shapiro penned for The Free Press, he and Kirk met when the latter was only 18 years old. Kirk had just started Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit organization whose mission is to "identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and...

Yesterday (September 10), a loud activist voice in American conservative politics was silenced after he was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk, 31, while a polarizing figure in the U.S. culture wars, was an outspoken supporter of Israel, the Jewish people, and freedom of speech. As of September 11, the murderer is still unknown, with American authorities pursuing a manhunt. Despite no public information being available as to the background, whereabouts, or motives of the killer, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, large numbers of so-called activists posted online claiming that the assailant was not...

He Is No Fool

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were surely many people who would have liked to speak with President Trump. So, it's notable, for better or worse, that the president apparently accepted Joe Scarborough's call. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough described some of their conversation, noting that the president called Kirk "a great man," and gave him credit, with his organizing and fundraising efforts, for making the difference in some of the swing states. Scarborough also commended MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler for having condemned the words of Matthew Dowd on Katy Tur's MSNBC show yesterday, in which...

Summary. While Israel has historically been regarded as a close ally of the United States—sharing democratic values, intelligence cooperation, and defense partnerships—certain individuals of Arab "Palestinian" origin or ideological affiliation have been involved in acts of violence against Americans.

Megyn Kelly opens the show by remembering the legacy of Charlie Kirk, new reporting about "trans" phrases found on the gun ammunition used to shoot Kirk, the latest information about the search for the assassin, and more.

EXCLUSIVE and #BREAKING: This is a current Secret Service agent, stating in a Facebook post, that Charlie Kirk deserved what he got. "You can't circumvent karma, [sic] she doesnt [sic] leave." The comments are similar to the incendiary remarks now former @MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd made on the network. The network fired Dowd from his contributorship yesterday for saying "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." MSNBC called Dowd's comments "insensitive and unacceptable" and ultimately fired him. The Secret Service agent's post is circulating in the Secret Service community with some agents upset over his...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York attempted to shift blame for the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk to Second Amendment supporters Thursday. Kirk was fatally shot during a TPUSA “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, in which he would take questions from attendees. Ocasio-Cortez said members of Congress who opposed gun control had no right to “finger-point” after Kirk’s assassination. “People can finger-point all they want. Look at the record, look at the actions of what we are doing,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters in front of the Capitol building. “I don’t think...
