(Warning: long rant) My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue. I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues. Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious. And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They...

--SNIP-- I left the Democratic Party because I could no longer deny its own authoritarian tendencies or its corrosive impact on our culture and public trust. Party activists have adopted an identitarian ideology that cultivates a noxious sense of grievance, entitlement, and nihilism, fueling divisiveness in everyday life as well as outbursts of political violence. To win back voters like me, Democrats would have to be humble enough to actually learn from their mistakes so they can earn back the trust they’ve destroyed. Though Trump’s own poll numbers remain underwater, Democrats’ numbers remain even worse, because they refuse to acknowledge...

President Emmanuel Macron moved quickly when his government led by Premier Francois Bayrou lost a confidence vote Monday. The 384-194 vote was a sign of deep opposition to the austere 2026 budget.

Mr. Macron quick to contact the Emir of Qatar following Tuesday's Israeli attack. Macron denouncing the attack... he met families of the Israeli hostages at the Elysee Palace Wednesday...

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was seen kissing his trans partner just two weeks before the conservative activist's death, according to reports. [cut] Fox News revealed last night that the couple shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Then, the pair's neighbour Josh Kemp, 18, confirmed the report - adding: "I saw them holding hands. They drove off in Tyler's car. It was about two weeks ago. "They looked like they were a couple and he was dressed all in black. "I thought he was weird because of the way he walked and I've never seen anyone dressed like that. He...

His voice, so strong and clear, had carried conviction, truth, and a call to courage in a time when voices like his were desperately needed. And yet, just as quickly as he rose, the microphone fell silent. I came across a simple illustration that captured the moment more powerfully than words could. In the drawing, Charlie stood in heaven, embraced by the Lord. With humility, he asked: “Do You think someone will pick it up, Lord?” The Lord’s...

Musk talks to the huge British crowd at the massive demonstration in London today. He mentions the gang rapes of under age British girls by illegal alien gangs (mostly Pakistani). He also touches on the compulsory payment of TV license fees in Britain to finance the BBC which essentially is waging a war on the British people, paid for by British tax payers. And Tommy Robinson himself jailed for essentially free speech violations. And more. Worth watching, only 15 minutes long.

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
