The First Amendment has not been violated. Free speech always carries consequences. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. In this case her freedom of speech cost her a job. This isn’t canceling; it’s accountability. I want to encourage more intolerant, violent leftists to continue to speak out freely. The worst thing we can do is shut them up.

I really don't know much about Charlie Cook, so when I see the usual suspects go on about his "hateful speech," I decided to look up examples. One in particular says all you need to know about the Kirk-as-firebrand argument: he was a staunch supporter of Israel and rejected the contention that Israel was purposely slaughtering civilians in Gaza. The horror!

Ignorant bwitch......Kirk was a very civil, NON-hating person. These pukes IMAGINE what they think Kirk was about because they were too scared to actually listen to him speak. They couldn't risk someone exposing their hideous ignorance, so they ginned up some inner version of a Charlie Kirk that didn't actually exist....and they hated that self-delusion. These are crazy people

Like everyone I am horrified by the devastation in Los Angeles. The scale is beyond imagining, and the incompetence of city and state government so blatant, they will all need close security for the rest of their lives. Of course people are pointing to the Olympics in ‘28, and the inclusion of Los Angeles in the Smart Cities transition which basically means monitoring your very outbreath. Easier to do with fewer residents. Just build thirty-thousand high-rises, and house the cattle to be monitored and monetized.

California Democrats passed a bill that would ban federal immigration agents and other federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks. “We’re looking at the constitutionality of it,” Gov. Newsom said in July. Don't bother looking, governor. Any eighth grader could tell you that a governor can't order federal law enforcement or any other federal official to do anything. This is virtue signaling at its finest, and naturally, Democrats are waving the bloody shirt for all to see. “We are in a truly disaster of a situation where we have secret police, effectively, on our streets,” said Scott Wiener, a Democratic state senator from San Francisco.

It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains.

One of the communications from Feb. 2, 2020, revealed the ex-NIAID head imploring Collins to “Please delete this e-mail after you read it”

The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Friday to support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and urge Israel to commit to a Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposes. The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which sets out a phased plan to end the nearly 80-year conflict. The vote was 142-10 with 12 abstentions. Hours before the vote, Netanyahu said “there will be no Palestinian state.” He spoke at the signing of an agreement to expand settlements that will divide the West Bank, which the Palestinians insist must be part of their state, saying, “This place belongs to us.”
