  • ‘Misinformation’ about Charlie Kirk is Now Free Speech?

    It’s always problematic when a relativist claims to be the sole source of truth. ChatGPT defines relativism as: “Relativism is a philosophical stance suggesting that truths, values, or knowledge are not absolute but are instead relative to a specific cultural framework, historical context, or individual perspective.” Trust me, no one makes it clearer that his “truth” is based on a particular, secular, cultural framework, distorted historical context, and above all a twisted individual perspective on life than the current cultural pontificator, Barack Obama. After Charlie Kirk’s brutal assassination, Barry hung up his paddleboard to post this on X:We don’t yet...

    Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R) denied that President Donald Trump attacked free speech rights in a recent Oval Office question and answer session when he complained to the press about negative news stories.CNN's Dana Bash played video of Trump saying Friday, “When somebody is given, 97% of the stories are bad about a person that's no longer free speech, that's no longer anything, that's just cheating.”Clips of Harris, Hilary Clinton etc pushing hard for suppression of free speech for conservatives/banning conservatives from social media because they the Democrats didn't like what conservatives were saying. In fact Hilary and Harris threatened...

    Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that the government, in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, may start to target “hate speech.” In a podcast interview the AG stated that hate speech isn’t free speech and that her office may prosecute those who cross the line. Her comments outraged many on the right, who correctly see “hate speech” as a dubious concept engineered to suppress conservative views. It’s also an unconstitutional concept, as our laws recognize hate speech as free speech protected by the First Amendment. This was affirmed by Charlie Kirk himself. “Hate speech does not exist legally in...

    Charlie Kirk’s murder proves free speech absolutism cannot withstand lies turned lethal—America must confront hate and incitement with lawful strength, not naïve trust.The murdered Charlie Kirk was a martyr to free speech and the belief in the power of reasoned argument to overcome lies and evil. “Hate speech does not exist legally in America,” he wrote on X in May of 2024. “There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.” There is much to admire in Charlie’s devotion to those principles, but his murder put those principles to...

    Although the winter 2022 truckers’ protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s punitive vaccine mandates shook Canada down to its mukluks, it no longer dominates the headlines. Still, it remains in public consciousness. Prominent protest members were recently convicted or are still on trial. Its implications are still with us, and its long-term effects may well be seismic. The Freedom Convoy traversed the country from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to the nation’s capital in Ottawa to protest the biggest experiment ever in authoritarian rule over Canadians—COVID lockdowns and, particularly, the vaccines. The truckers and their fellow convoy travelers demanded the attention...

    The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show doesn’t matter. What matters is the left’s embrace of political violence.The national conversation we need to have right now is not about free speech. The conversation we need to have is about the normalization of political violence on the left. We need to be talking about left-wing Antifa/trans terrorists gunning down Christians in broad daylight while Democrats and the corporate press justify it and the online left celebrates it. That’s the only conversation that matters right now. The manufactured outrage over ABC canceling Jimmy Kimmel’s show is an attempt to change the conversation, to...

    We’ve seen that Democrats don’t seem to understand some of the basic principles of the Constitution. Or perhaps, more accurately, don’t seem to care about complying with it. We’ve also seen that they don’t understand that Joe Biden isn’t king. He doesn’t get to declare, by unilateral fiat, the cancellation of student debt. That’s not within his Constitutional power, no matter what Democratic politicians may think. But they wanted to do it to pay off their base for their votes. So, they threw a tantrum on the steps of the Supreme Court. All they understand is that they should get...

    Former Tonight Show host Jay Leno has opened up about Jimmy Kimmel following his “indefinite” suspension from ABC. despite the pair having a contentious history. Speaking to journalists at Chris Wallace’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday (September 18), Leno was asked about ABC pulling Kimmel off the air after threats from Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr related to comments Kimmel made about the Charlie Kirk shooting on Monday’s (September 14) show. “ I’m on Jimmy Kimmel’s side on that one,” Leno told reporters. “I’m a huge proponent of free speech. Please. I’m on Jimmy Kimmel’s side.” He...

    The left doesn’t really care about Kimmel or free speech, it’s just about exploiting a convenient storyline to keep their narrative of Trump-is-authoritarian alive.ABC News pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air on Wednesday. Not for being painfully unfunny, and not even for having an opinion. No, Kimmel got yanked because he flat-out lied and claimed: “the MAGA gang desperately [is] 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.”It was a pure lie. Following widespread criticism, Nextstar Media Group said its ABC...

    Jeffree Star is known for his abrasive personality online. And that is usually on display when he is feuding with other creators. But the controversial YouTuber-turned-TikToker may have pushed away even more fans with his most recent comments about the LGBTQ+ community. In a recent TikTok Live, the beauty guru took time to speak about the killing of right-wing political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was shot while speaking at a university in Utah. Clips of the Live made their way around X earlier this week. And in the video, Star made disparaging remarks about nonbinary people and defended Kirk's historically...

    The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Bill of Rights. The aim of the Bill of Rights is to safeguard individual freedoms and constrain the power of the government.The First Amendment reflects these democratic ideals by establishing the freedom of speech. Its free speech clause reads,“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech…”From this language, we can see that our First Amendment right to free speech begins as a prohibition on Congress. Our federal legislature is bound by the Constitution, which means that Congress cannot enact laws that violate our rights to free speech....

    Once a left-wing fetish, the heckler’s veto has gained conservative adherents. It's a given that if one party to a disagreement keeps breaking the rules in order to harm opponents, the other participants will eventually sink to the challenge and adopt—or escalate—out-of-bounds tactics themselves. That's bad enough in any conflict, but it can be disastrous for a free and open society if the rules being broken by all parties are fundamental free speech norms. For years, we've seen left-leaning students and faculty on college campuses shout down and sometimes assault speakers with whom they disagree. Now right-leaning students have joined...
  • Elon Musk's Speech At UK Protest Which Saw Violent Clash: Speaks On Charlie Kirk, Migrants, Starmer

    At London’s huge “Unite the Kingdom” anti-immigration rally organized by Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk addressed over 100,000 protesters via video, calling for regime change in the UK and warning that “violence is coming” if mass migration continues. Musk blamed Britain’s political left for “slow destruction” of the nation, denounced the “woke mind virus,” and said those in the “reasonable middle” must act before violence reaches them. He invoked the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the US, accusing the left of celebrating “murder,” and slammed the government for failing to protect citizens—calling for the “dissolution of Parliament” and fresh...
