    Jimmy Kimmel and the Long Tradition of Television Censorship by NetworksWhen Disney pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air after affiliate stations refused to run it—and Kimmel refused to apologize—many framed the moment as a free speech issue. But in reality, this is not a new phenomenon. Kimmel is merely the latest in a long line of television personalities to discover that while free speech is protected from government interference, it does not shield individuals from the consequences imposed by employers, advertisers, or the broader marketplace.The tension between individual expression and corporate image has shaped the entertainment industry for decades....

  • CNN: 'Wannabe Mob Boss' Trump Brings Us 'Dangerously Close To State-Run Media'

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    In the context of a discussion of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show and related matters, today's CNN This Morning aired a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman [D-ActBlue Jeans] calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss."Meghan Hays, a former Biden aide and a CNN analyst, agreed with Goldman, then proceeded to claim: "We are running dangerously close to state-run media . . . We are losing our democracy. They're dismantling democracy by doing this." Accusing Trump of creating a "state-run media?" That's something of a new line of attack. And a laugh line at that. Even without the likes of...

I don't write messages like this often, but after losing Charlie, I can't stay quiet. I loved Charlie Kirk. He was more than a leader - he was my friend. Losing him has been devastating... But if you knew Charlie, you would know exactly what he would say to us right now: "Don't you dare quit." He poured his life into Turning Point USA to save this country...

    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...

  • 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 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. He’s at the fourth stage of grief, construction [audience laughs, applauds]...demolition...construction.” [at the White...
