    What Jimmy Kimmel suggested to be true --namely, that Charlie Kirk's assassin was MAGA--was false. Did he know when he said it that it was false? I don't know. Did he have reason to know it was false? Yes, but ideology warps people's heads. In any case, we should not want public officials pressuring companies to fire or discipline people for their First Amendment protected speech--even when it's false. It is simply too great a threat to civil liberty. Democrats and liberals are saying that now, but (with honorable exceptions) they have no credibility. When the shoe was on the...

    VIDEOBritish leftists have become completely deranged as exemplified by this leftist Munchkin who went over the edge at the sight of people flying the English flag. Why? Because the Munchkin screamed that it is a symbol of hate.
  • Days before fatal Mag Mile crash-and-grab, accused man posed with governor at ‘peacekeeper’ event — while wanted in 4 states

    CWB Chicago ^ | September 18, 2025 | Time Hecke
    Less than a week before a crash-and-grab burglary crew killed an innocent man on the Magnificent Mile last Thursday, one of the men now charged with that murder donned a “peacekeeper” uniform and posed for a one-on-one picture with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. While that’s troubling, some law enforcement experts are more concerned that the accused man was able to stand directly next to the state’s most powerful executive despite having outstanding warrants in four states. Just before 5 a.m. on September 11, a group of burglars backed a pickup truck into a display window at the Louis Vuitton store...

  • Zohran Mamdani was arrested protesting outside Senator Chuck Schumer’s home just days after Hamas's October 7th massacre. He’s part of the DSA —

    Zohran Mamdani would like people to believe he’s the Democrat candidate in the upcoming NYC Mayoral election. But he is a member of the DSA, first and foremost — a group that is using the Democrat party to run in mainstream elections in Democratic strongholds, win them as the Democratic candidate, and then institute far-left, fringe, dangerous plans for their constituencies. Before he was courting endorsements from Democrats in NY, Zohran spent the week after October 7 harassing Sen Chuck Schumer AT HIS HOME and GETTING ARRESTED FOR IT. Mamdani is not a Democrat, he is a member of DSA...

  • Exclusive: Soros’ Open Society gave $80 million to pro-terror groups

    09/17/2025 6:37:15 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 17 replies
    Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), now run with his son Alexander, has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in “direct actions” that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism. These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, and the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic...

On Friday the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.” ~~ video clip of President Trump ~~ “Gotcha.

    Charlie Kirk would have been president. Political violence robbed him of fulfilling that destiny, so now his friends, colleagues, and supporters throughout the world must figure out how to pick up the pieces and ensure that his legacy never ends. On a special episode of "Glenn TV," Glenn replays the most powerful, touching, and inspirational moments from his time guest-hosting "The Charlie Kirk Show" on Wednesday morning, one week after Charlie’s death. In a touching tribute to his friend, Glenn places Rush Limbaugh’s golden microphone next to Charlie’s — a symbol of Charlie’s longtime dream and the influence he has...

    Despite having only watched “Good Will Hunting” twice in my life, I can quote a particular line from memory: “You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late charges at the public library.” This fictional moment has oddly frequented my mind and my conversations recently — the point made seems to be particularly relevant to politics in the United States. Will’s (Matt Damon, “The Martian”) statement is essentially attacking elitism, or the people in society who hold power, education and wealth. Recently, I’ve been wondering if perhaps Will’s logic applies to the current Democratic Party and...

    WASHINGTON (Politicrux) — When Democrat Representative Seth Moulton on CNN claimed 76% 0f all political violence came from the right and only 4% came from the left collective conservative audiences all over America fell off their chairs. However, his comment did prove one age old expression that there are “lies, lies, damn lies and statistics” and it confirmed, whoever writes and records history has outsized power to shape the political narrative. Nowhere is that power more evident than in how political violence is portrayed in America.
  • The Public School Crisis: Higher Payrolls Associated with Worse Student Performance

    Debates about public school funding sometimes include an underlying assumption that more funding results in better student outcomes. Available data tells a more complex story. Our review of 12,531 school districts across the country shows a negative correlation between overhead and student performance. In other words, districts that spent more on teacher and administrative pay saw their students’ standardized test scores drop. Using the Open the Books proprietary database of government salaries across America, we calculated how much each U.S. state increased its total public school payrolls from 2019 to 2023. We compared that number to the change in each...

    China, Taiwan, and the Illusion of InvasionPosted: September 17, 2025As tensions between China and Taiwan continue to make headlines, it's worth stepping back to ask a more fundamental question: Is China actually capable of invading Taiwan? Or is the threat more bark than bite? After a detailed analysis of military capability, geography, politics, and historical precedent, the answer becomes clearer than what mainstream headlines may suggest.1. The Military Reality: Capability vs. IntentionWhile China has made significant investments in its military, a full-scale invasion of Taiwan would be among the most complex operations in modern history—possibly more difficult than the D-Day...

    DEARBORN, MI — Mayor Abdullah Hamoud of Dearborn has officially declared that the city will be renamed "Dearborn Islamic Caliphate of Michigan." Mayor Hamoud made the surprise announcement during a routine City Council meeting last night. After refusing a request to rezone ten acres of city property for industrial use, Hamoud took the opportunity to change the city's name, as well as call for a violent uprising to destroy the infidels in Michigan and all neighboring states. "First, we will update our signage with the town's new name. Then, we will rid the greater Lansing area of the scourge of...

    ABC News reporter Matthew Gutman apologized on Wednesday after he said the text messages between Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin and his transgender boyfriend were “touching.” Gutman described on “ABC News Live” how the suspected assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, expressed his love for his boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, and how he wanted to protect him after committing the assassination. After receiving scrutiny for calling the text messages “touching,” Gutman wrote on X that he regrets his words and condemns the murder committed by Robinson.

    The department chair of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Alabama in Huntsville expressed strong resentment in recent social media posts for fallen Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, attempting to belittle Kirk's well-established Christian faith. Leslie Maxwell Kaiura is a self-proclaimed "progressive Christian feminist and LGBTQ ally." "It is spiritually exhausting and demoralizing to see Christians praising a man who used racist, sexist, homo/transphobic language and minimized the problem of gun violence," she wrote. "Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the 'sinners' of his day with mockery or rejection." Kaiura shared a post, again attacking Kirk's...
