People Getting Fired For Mocking Charlie Kirk! Run time 24 m 56 s

i/o @avidseries Left-leaning outlet Axios reports that six sources familiar with the investigation of Tyler Robinson told it that Robinson had a romantic relationship with a transgender roommate. This follows similar reporting from right-leaning media earlier today.

Freely Ashley @TheFreelyAshley "I'm surprised you aren't getting rid of more people. Don't let it stop with him." "Get rid of the whole family." Woman calls for more assassinations, including executing Charlie Kirk's entire family. I'm really horrified by what I'm seeing. Honestly. These people are sick in the head.

KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat NEW: In December 2024, Lance Twiggs—the transgender roommate of Charlie Kirk’s shooter—changed his Steam name from “Lance” to “Luna.” The account matches his TikTok username and links to a Reddit profile active in transgender forums discussing hormones and transitioning.

Meet Lexi Kuenzle. She’s one of the good ones. Yesterday, in front of a nurses station — with 8 (eight) nurses & a PATIENT — Dr. Matthew Jung said in front of everyone, “I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it.” Lexi, a registered nurse, was the ONLY one that spoke up: “You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die.” Lexi said you could hear a pin drop & no one said anything, including the patient. She reported the incident to management & — after she got home — posted about it & Dr....

Free Government is that happy condition wherein government respects and protects the unalienable, Natural Rights of the nation, and makes no law without its consent. Our Bill of Rights actually grants nothing, but rather serves to recognize God-given individual and societal rights. But rights don’t defend themselves. James Madison famously regarded Bills of Rights as mere “parchment barriers” easily breached by ambitious men. To keep them in force requires institutions designed for their defense, and an active citizenry covetous of liberty. So, how many are actually respected and protected by government? How near or distant is free government? I posit...

Over thirty people across the country have been fired, put on leave, investigated or faced calls to resign because of social media posts criticizing Charlie Kirk or expressing schadenfreude about the conservative influencer's assassination earlier this week, according to an analysis by NPR. And more may be to come:

South Carolina Freedom Caucus @SCFreedomCaucus SC deserves better than inaction in the face of evil. A law to stop indoctrination of our college students is long overdue. We call for a special session of the SC Legislature to pass H3927 and rescind budget appropriations for Clemson University. #DefundClemson

Once again, it turns out that what Robinson wrote on his bullet casings was not secret right-wing code. "Notices bulge, oWo, what's this?" was a reference to his trans partner/roommate, who is also a furry. You can all apologize to the ATF now. That includes the NYTs.

Two of the radio and television shows that I was on yesterday were hosted by liberals. In each case, they asked what I thought *we* can do to reduce political violence. For starters, I said, you can stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. They didn’t seem to think that was a good idea. Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler? In every relevant way, Trump is the exact opposite of Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and no...

The Day the Lone Wolf Myth DiedIn the valley below my house, the coyotes call at night. Except, they aren’t just coyotes anymore, they’re hybrids, part wolf, part coyote, something harder to categorize and harder to fight. You rarely see the whole pack at once. More often, you hear them, a scatter of calls, laughter that isn’t quite laughter, an echo that makes you realize you are surrounded without ever seeing the circle close.That’s how it feels watching society now. A few flashes here and there, a stray comment from a leader, a celebration of someone’s death online, an act...

Prior to Charlie Kirk's murder at the hands of a political fanatic, 23 year-old Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina by a dangerous lunatic named Decarlos Brown Jr. Brown had been previously arrested 14 times over the past decade for crimes including assault and robbery. In January of this year he was again arrested. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and advised to seek psychiatric care. Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes authorized the release of Brown based solely on his written promise to appear for a future court date. While he was free...

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein appears to have been angrily canceled by many of his fellow leftists and Democrats. His thought crime? He expressed sympathy for Charlie Kirk in the wake of his brutal assassination.The very title of his Thursday opinion piece acted like red meat to the increasingly deranged left: "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way." And if this did not inflame the haters enough, some of Klein's words sent them over the intolerant edge:

Oct 24, 2024 #trump #harris #fascist With twelve days to go before the United States presidential election, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are seeking the vote of the elusive undecided voter. That is getting harder and harder, as there are fewer and fewer people left who have not made up theri minds. A story by Matthew-Mary Caruchet #fascist #trump #harris

The conflict itself would likely play out in several phases. The opening week would be defined by missile barrages aimed at Taiwan’s defenses and US forward bases, along with cyber and space attacks to blind command networks. Taiwan’s dispersal plans and mobile launchers would mitigate, but not eliminate, the damage. The next phase would be the battle for sea denial. Submarines, mines, and long-range anti-ship weapons would be hurled against convoys carrying PLA troops and supplies across the Strait. Geography favors the defenders, but China’s proximity and numerical advantage mean some ships would get through. The outcome of this battle...

Two more pilots publicly cheering Charlie Kirk’s death, and even smearing the centrist Republican as a “Nazi”: Sydney Katherine Farruzi, who wears female clothing in the cockpit, and Seattle-based captain Teri Lyn Poulton. Is this a systemic problem with your flight crew, @Delta ?

Yesterday, I published The Geometry of Blindsides, my small-picture take on the death of Charlie Kirk. Today, I want to do what I didn’t do then. This is my big-picture take on Charlie Kirk’s death. I have two points to make. The first point is for those on the right declaring, in their grief, that this means war. Whether or not war is the correct answer to “What is the current state of things?” is above my pay grade. But I do need to point out something almost nobody is taking seriously enough.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, "Bluesky," the progressive alternative to Elon Musk's "X," warned its users "glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we're committed to fostering healthy, open conversations." This warning was followed by numerous posts praising the assassination and suggesting future targets that included Musk, podcasters Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, and, of course, President Trump. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) denied that characterizing Trump and...

If you’re like me and have been watching the news feeds and social media for developments on the Charlie Kirk assassination, you have probably also come across a disturbing army of leftists online cheering for the conservative speaker’s death. Some posts, featuring people laughing and celebrating, have tens-of-thousands of upvotes. It’s not just the comments, it’s the mob of crazies supporting the comments.What I see in this mountain of degenerate psychopathy is confirmation. I and many other analysts have been warning for years that the fight for what remains of the western world will happen on two fronts: The globalists...
