Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd said on Friday that he was “naive” to state on national television that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk brought his assassination on himself.
MSNBC fired Dowd on Wednesday evening after he said that Kirk’s so-called “hate speech” led to his assassination, which sparked intense backlash among conservatives and mourners. The political analyst wrote in a Substack post that he did not expect people to be outraged by him bringing up that Kirk is a “divisive and polarizing figure.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on the Federal Reserve to change its policy stance after a government agency revised US jobs data to show weaker hiring in the year through March.
“They should, let’s see if they will,” Bessent said on Fox Business Tuesday when asked if the Fed should recalibrate. He cited famed economist John Maynard Keynes for saying “when the facts change, I change my mind — what do you do?”
Speaking hours after the revised jobs data showed there were 911,000 fewer payroll gains in the 12 months through March, Bessent said, “It turns out that we didn’t have good facts.”
Rick Davies, the founding member of the 1970s British rock band Supertramp, has died at age 81.
The rocker died at his Long Island home Friday following a decade-long battle with Multiple Myeloma, a type of blood cancer, the band revealed.
The group’s surviving members paid their respects to Davies in a heartfelt statement on social media. “The Supertramp Partnership is very sad to announce the death of the Supertramp founder, Rick Davies after a long illness,” the “Goodbye Stranger” hitmakers wrote on Facebook Sunday.
“Rick passed away at his home on Long Island on September 5th. [SNIP]"
Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021.
Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk.
The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling.
This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate.
For decades, Democrats and Republicans have regularly cooperated to swiftly confirm the many, many individuals selected by each president to serve in their administration.
Regardless of the party in the White House, both sides have long agreed that a president deserves to have his or her administration in place, quickly. That doesn’t mean we don’t disagree. But it does mean when nominees are held up, opposed, or blocked—it’s for a legitimate purpose, not for leverage in partisan games, to score political points at the expense of public safety.
Now, while I agree with the above sentiment, those sentences aren’t actually mine. Those are the words of Democrat Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer [SNIP]
The optics for the Democratic Party are not great at the moment.
Whether it's vehemently rejecting President Trump's mission to restore law and order in crime-ridden progressive cities or opposing the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, the party of confused radicals - still unable to define what a woman is - bankrolled by rogue leftist billionaires and propped up by dark-money NGOs, has firmly branded itself as the party of "America Last."
If Democrats had their way, no illegal alien would ever be deported. That's because these third-worlders are seen as the party's future voting base to seize more political power.
Have federal district judges peaked? Democrat judges, especially Biden judges, have been issuing insane rulings trying to stop President Trump from doing pretty much anything. These rulings are so bad that even Justice Kagan, hardly a Trump pal, was baffled by them.
I’ve argued that these rulings are literal lawfare, there’s no pretense that these various blocks are even legal, they’re there to force Trump to go to the Supreme Court. And then the Supreme Court, especially its weakest man, Chief Justice Roberts to mull over what the cocktail party set will say and cringe over being accused of being a rubber stamp for Trump.
Five Republicans in the House joined Democrats Wednesday to block an effort to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., over a confrontation with immigration officers in her district.
Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., sponsored a resolution that would have condemned McIver’s actions in May and removed her from her position on the House Homeland Security Committee. The House voted 215-207 to table the measure, with Republican Reps. Don Bacon and Mike Flood of Nebraska, Dave Joyce and Mike Turner of Ohio, and David Valadao of California voting against the censure along with all Democrats. Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, voted present.
Robert Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and chairman of RLJ Companies, has pledged $500,000 to the campaign of Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears. The donation came after Earle-Sears, currently serving as Virginia’s lieutenant governor, was subjected to a racist attack during a protest outside an Arlington County School Board meeting on August 21.

employees fired, given ‘tear jars’
as parting gift 25 replies
Oil giant Shell USA is the latest corporation to be held accountable for the racial discrimination that has been a hallmark of the DEI era, and is facing a lawsuit over an alleged purge of white employees.
A lawsuit was filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of two former workers who say they were fired from their longtime jobs and replaced with less qualified employees as part of a “racially discriminatory reorganization that targeted white employees.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday said the Pentagon would no longer allow Chinese nationals to work as coders on Department of Defense (DOD) cloud systems.
A program previously allowed Chinese developers to work as “digital escorts” in a role modeled by Microsoft, where foreign nationals remain under the supervision of remote U.S. contractors.
Hegseth said the effort “exposed” the department to “unacceptable risks.”

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.

A Secret Service Agent, in a Facebook post, said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was brutally murdered in broad daylight on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University. A gunman climbed up onto a roof and shot Charlie Kirk from an elevated position.
Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood.
“If you are Mourning this guy… delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show,” Anthony Pough wrote.
WASHINGTON — Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, President Donald Trump may be uniquely positioned to tamp down the anger that suffuses American politics and lead a movement to bind up a bitterly divided country if he chooses.
But, political strategists and officials from both parties told NBC News, that’s not the path Trump appears to be taking.
Trump has been both a target of assassination attempts and a fount of vitriolic rhetoric. He knows firsthand the passions that drive American voters and, were he to renounce partisan attacks and call on others in both parties to do the same, that gesture could potentially send a healing message.
Rep. Ilhan Omar added another mark to her record as one of the most hateful, depraved members of Congress on Thursday. While speaking to pro-Hamas journalist Mehdi Hasan, the Minnesota congresswoman mocked Charlie Kirk and appeared to offer justification for his assassination.
Kirk was murdered while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley State on Wednesday, (Snip) Further exposing her lack of common decency and humanity, Omar cast that aside and instead joined with Hasan to essentially argue that Kirk deserved what he got because of his "words and actions."
COLUMBUS, Ohio [WJW-TV Cleveland] - A state lawmaker proposes allowing utilities to take control of volunteering customers’ thermostats or appliances, to decrease overall demand on the energy grid in times of peak consumption. Such optional demand response programs are already available to large commercial users, but House Bill 427, introduced in late August by state Rep. Roy Klopfenstein, R-Haviland, would allow utilities to develop them for residential consumers. “This legislation is a crucial step in our state’s comprehensive plan to ensure all Ohioans have access to reliable, affordable and readily available energy,” The programs wouldn’t be mandatory. [Snip] Utility customers would have to opt in.
Ammunition cartridges recovered along with the bolt-action rifle used in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk were scrawled with transgender and anti-fascist messages, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The rifle was recovered Wednesday night in a wooded area where the FBI believes the killer fled after the shooting.
It was wrapped in a towel and had three unused ammo cartridges still in the chamber. Each was “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology,” the Journal reported…
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.
The FBI is facing questions over an airport that was left open after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, with speculation brewing over a jet that could be linked to his murder.
(snip)Speculation on social media has pointed to a private jet that left the airport shortly after the single shot that killed the conservative activist rang out.
Flight tracking data shows the jet left the airport shortly after 2pm and headed south towards the Arizona border before it disappeared from radars.
It then reappeared on radars and returned to Provo roughly one hour after leaving the airport.
A current Secret Service agent believes that Charlie Kirk deserved the assassin’s bullet that took his life.
Anthony Pough, in a Facebook post shared by Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics identifying Pough as a Secret Service Agent, said karma is to blame – or credit – for Kirk’s slaying.
“If you are Mourning this guy .. delete me,” the post reads, referencing Kirk. “He spewed hate and racism on his show.”
He added, “At the end of the day, you answer to GOD and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt [sic] leave.”
Crabtree reported that Pough’s post is circulating throughout the Secret Service community,
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been asked to return to Congress to answer questions about emails uncovered by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) showing the former White House COVID-19 czar asking colleagues to “delete” messages, according to copies obtained by The Post.
Fauci, who helmed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, in two email chains asked other public health officials — including then-National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins — to send his emails to the trash bin after reading them.
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”

Sage Steele unloads on professional sports teams that honored George Floyd and challenges them to honor Charlie Kirk. Haven't been a big baseball fan for some time now, but when I was a kid I was a Baltimore Orioles fan and the New York Yankees were hated rivals. But the Yankees honored Kirk yesterday with no prodding... showing their organization to be a total class act.
