A recent Cato Institute study published last Thursday following the murder of Charlie Kirk claims that from 1975 through September 2025, "right-wing terrorists" accounted for 391 murders (11% of total) while "left-wing terrorists" killed 65 people (2% of total) in politically motivated attacks in the United States. In multiple comments in response to Kirk's killing, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed the "radical left," arguing their rhetoric was “directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today.” He further claimed right-wing violence stemmed from people who “don’t want to see crime.”

At a Dearborn City Council meeting last week, Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told local resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, that he was "not welcome" in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani.

But the mayor escalated the debate, telling Barham, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here." Barham introduced himself as "Ted Barham, Dearborn resident," and objected to two intersections being renamed after...

What happens a year from now when immigration officials start focusing on deporting families that have lived and worked illegally for perhaps a decade or more? After hearing these sob stories the average independent-minded American will start siding with the Democrats. With this as a backdrop, Republicans must be prepared to counter this narrative during the run-up to the mid-terms in 2026 and 2028.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was suspended by ABC on Wednesday following a brief pressure campaign from the Trump administration as well as conservatives in the media, who successfully twisted Kimmel’s words following last week’s assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. During Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, the comedian criticized conservatives for trying to “score political points” off Kirk’s death. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel...

I'm not on social media. I'm angry. This is one of my only outlets. I wrote this after these thoughts occurred to me after reading breaking news yesterday afternoon: I've been watching the left's response to Charlie Kirk's assassination for over a full week. The irony is that this singular event has fully exposed the left - including political leadership - of qualifying violence against disagreeable debate ("fascist" / "racist" / "hitler" etc.) which has obviously made them directly culpable for his murder through incitement of hate among the most vulnerable, mentally unstable of the populace. The news has been...

“This is misery,” Letterman, 78, said during a panel at the annual event, per Variety. “I feel bad about this.” “We see where this is all going, correct?” he continued. “It’s managed media. And it’s no good. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. And you can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.” “In the world of somebody who is an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship, sooner or later, everyone is going to be touched,” Letterman added.

A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite have jumped to their social media to decry ABC’s decision to shelve comedian Kimmy Kimmel after her spread disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s killer on his ratings-challenged late-night show. None of these supposed “free speech” advocates spoke up when conservatives were cancelled for far less. Several celebrities, comedians, and others who still have an X account, blasted ABC’s decision and urged people to stand up for the biased, far-left, late-night talk show host. Two members of the Hollywood elite decried this supposed attack on Kimmel’s free speech and both...

Former President Barack Obama is whining about cancel culture after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show following the disinformation Kimmel broadcasted after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said on X, sharing an article on the suspension of Kimmel’s show. He added, “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies...
