Jimmy Kimmel drew backlash online after a monologue in which he accused President Donald Trump of enabling deadly force through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a segment aired on Wednesday, Kimmel referenced the recent fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Nicloe Good by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis. "Donald J. Trump is going to kill you," Kimmel said, holding up a T-shirt with that message. "He isn't just killing people overseas." Kimmel questioned Trump's response to the shooting, quoting the president's claim that the victim was "a professional agitator" and that the shooting occurred after she...

Night show host Jimmy Kimmel sent a message to President Donald Trump following the ICE shooting of a 37-year-old unarmed woman in Minneapolis Wednesday evening. The incident has sparked outrage online, and Kimmel hit back against Trump’s claim that ICE killed the woman in self defense. "They were there under the guise of protecting us, and of course, our president weighed in with compassion," Kimmel said sarcastically before reading Trump’s comments on the matter. "I have just viewed the clip of the event… It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the...

Jimmy Kimmel is an idiot. That's where we start. Kimmel, who has trouble finding the bottom of the outrage manure pile, was suspended back in September for making crass remarks about Charlie Kirk's murder: Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show was suspended indefinitely following the host's comments on the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.Walt Disney-owned ABC said on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it will indefinitely stop airing "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after the late-night host's comments about Kirk's assassination came under harsh criticism from the head of the Federal Communications Commission.

A legendary NFL quarterback was noticeably absent from his scheduled appearance on Jimmy Kimmel this week.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! enjoyed a short-lived ratings bonanza after his triumphant post-suspension return to ABC. Kimmel's late night show returned to screens on Tuesday with record-breaking ratings, after he was suspended for five days over remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination. As many as 6.5million people tuned to Kimmel on Tuesday, which was a three times the show's usual audience and the biggest in over a decade.

Notably, Kimmel lost 73 percent of the viewers in the coveted demographic...

Meanwhile, a new poll shows a majority of voters believe it’s appropriate to fire employees who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s murder online. ============================================================= A week’s vacation from his “comedy” show didn’t make Jimmy Kimmel any funnier, less bitter, or more likeable. In fact, the late-night host returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday — on fewer ABC local affiliate stations — sounding more partisan and petulant than ever. Kimmel offered no apology for the lies he told about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, comments that earned him an “indefinite,” short-lived suspension from his corporate bosses. The poster-child for Trump Derangement Syndrome thumbed his nose...

Looks like some dogs have been trained too well to protect the public from horrors: Miami police were forced to briefly shut down the area surrounding an art show and clear the site after security dogs reacted to a suspicious crate in Miami, Fla., during the Art Basel festival on Saturday morning. But when authorities opened the crate outside the Art Miami tent, it contained none other than a “punk” style picture of Hillary Clinton — complete with pink hair and a studded jacket. You can see why this might set a dog to barking — or to whimpering in...

SYDNEY, Australia - Australian special forces in Afghanistan detained four suspected Taliban militants captured in April in pens sometimes used to hold dogs, the defense minister said Tuesday. Many Muslims consider dogs impure and the head of Australia's main Islamic group strongly criticized the actions of the special forces. Afghanistan's ambassador to Australia Amanullah Jayhoon said the reports were troubling but stopped short of criticizing the soldiers. Australian Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon defended the special forces, saying the detainees arrested on April 29 were held in the most secure place available before they were transported to a detention center in...

The insistence of a Washington state couple that they have a right to build a four-foot concrete wall along 80 feet of the 1,270-mile-long U.S.-Canada boundary in the West has cost a U.S. member of the International Joint Commission his job, according to reports appearing last week in the Canadian news media. If the incident did nothing else, it gave Canadians (prone always to accept the dicta of officialdom) an inkling of how things work on the other side of the border. Apparently, it all started because Herbert and Shirley Ann Leu of Blaine, Wash., couldn't prevent dogs escaping from...
