Since we're on a crime kick, let's check in on one of the cities most resistant to Donald Trump's offer of National Guard assistance with the crime Chicago Mayor Brandon 'Bear of Little Brains' Johnson insists he's got under control. After all, this was a weekend.
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' FEDERALES
Now, while they did manage to keep the body count down after the previous holiday weekend's spectacular numbers, that by no means meant there weren't fireworks.
But first, there was some Miracle Mile window shoplifting on a pleasant Friday evening. I don't know, maybe pick out - or up - a watch or shiny bauble for the lovely lady

We will obviously be doing this a little bit differently today. I've gone lighter with the links today, and the majority of them are related to the horrible news from yesterday.
If you're looking for something poignant, I'm not your guy right now. My colleagues have done remarkable work eulogizing and paying tribute to Charlie Kirk; there is absolutely nothing that I can add to their heartfelt words. Words that I know weren't easy to write.
In what is a huge departure for me, I had already mapped out what I was going to write here at the top of Thursday's Briefing before noon my time on Wednesday.
When news broke Wednesday afternoon that conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been shot at Utah Valley University, something disturbing happened. Mainstream media personalities seemed more interested in providing context that somehow justified the violence. The grotesque spectacle that followed reveals everything wrong with today's media landscape.
The facts are straightforward enough. Kirk was conducting a Q&A session on campus when a gunshot rang out, striking him near the neck. Video footage shows blood streaming from his wound as shocked onlookers scattered. When reports surfaced that Kirk's condition was uncertain, the media vultures were already circling with their victim-blaming narratives.
What every American knows

My blood boils when I think about the stabbing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska partly because, in watching the video, I could almost see what was coming next. Being new to America, Iryna was not aware of some basic safety precautions that most natives take for granted when traveling in Democrat cities.
First, there is no way that I would sit down with my back to a Rastaman-looking character like Decarlos Brown Jr. In fact, I probably would have moved to another train car. However, Iryna sensed no peril. Apparently, none of her American friends had sat her down and gave her a heads up on life in America.
A Lamb To The Slaughter

The biggest emotion that we should feel about the senseless and needless tragedy on the light-rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina—after the outrage has faded just a bit—is incredible sadness.
How can it be that in a nation that calls itself “The Land of Free and the Home of the Brave,” which welcomes immigrants looking for a better life—how can that nation produce such a monstrous occurrence that transpired in Charlotte?
If any video personifies the phrase, “a lamb to the slaughter,” the video from that horrific event—ubiquitous on the internet—is it. This innocent young woman, Iryna Zarutska, was just coming home from a low-paying restaurant job at a pizzeria,
If you’re not familiar with the story of Iryna Zarutska, she was a beautiful 23 year-old Ukrainian refugee.
She and her family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to escape the war.
Iryna took a light rail train one night in August after working her job at a local pizzeria. She sat down in the row in front of a man who had been arrested 14 times before and was, according to his own mother, violently schizophrenic. The video of her murder (not embeddable) is here.
I warn you, it's graphic.
Here is a beautiful picture of her and here is a video (again, non-embeddable) of the attack
100 Weeks Later

100 weeks after the October 7, 2023 attack, Israel is attending to unfinished business. On September 9, Israel attacked the billionaires leading Hamas from Doha, Qatar. This incident provides clarity regarding certain items lately in the news, including Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. While the mainstream suggests the airstrikes “infuriated” Trump, I suspect that Israel obviously acted in coordination with the White House. If any of America’s enemies remain unaware that the administration is doubling down on its FAFO foreign affairs doctrine, they are now disabused of that miscalculation.
During the 12-day war, which began with the decapitation
For years, the Democrats have maintained their goal to take away freedom of choice on health care, wanting government health care for all. The misnamed “Affordable Care Act” took away freedom of choice, forcing everyone to buy a Rolls Royce policy, which obviously made premiums skyrocket.
Democrats continually lied, saying that if you liked your plan and doctor you could keep them, and they intentionally lied when they said Obamacare would substantially lower premiums. What a joke!
The bill had thousands of pages of regulations, and took away lifetime and annual limits, which meant small- and medium-sized companies couldn’t afford the risk, leaving large companies with a captive audience.
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) It didn't take long after January 20 of this year for evidence of all that we knew was wrong during Joe Biden's sham presidency to start trickling in. That trickle soon turned into a flood of proof that it was all just as awful as we thought it was, if not worse. I haven't written about a lot of it because, honestly, my Biden fatigue was already pretty bad by, oh, Super Bowl Sunday 2021.
The American people need to keep being reminded of just what an elaborate scam the entire Biden presidency was, however, so I get around
Iryna Zarutska’s murder on Charlotte’s Lynx Blue Line light rail was not a “tragic situation.” She fled a war zone only to be cut down on a Charlotte train—a victim of a city government derailed by ideology and the lure of federal transit dollars instead of delivering law and order.
And now her death has become something even more damning: the crime America’s national press corps chose to bury.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles responded to the killing with platitudes about “mental health” and “homelessness,” calling it a “tragic situation” and warning that “we will never arrest our way out” of such problems.
Joe Biden: More Corrupt Than You Thought
7 replies
I know, that is a very high bar to get over. But consider: why did Joe Biden pardon more people, by a wide margin, than any other president? Documents have come to light that suggest Biden pardoned thousands, some of whom were violent criminals and most of whom had no apparent grounds for clemency, because he was being criticized for pardoning his degenerate partner in crime, his son Hunter. So he “flooded the zone” with thousands of names that no reporter had the time–or more important, the inclination–to track down. (X) To be fair, it is possible that “President Autopen” had no idea how many thousands of criminals

The House of Representatives burst into chaos as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in Utah on Wednesday. Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later. His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.
Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after his comments about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a network source.
During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think

“In retrospect,” Kamala Harris writes of letting Joe and Jill Biden decide on their own whether the then-president should have tried to run for re-election, “I think it was recklessness.” (Snip) “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the first excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday morning by The Atlantic. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.” Part of the problem, Harris
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized.
Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted.
Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”
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…
Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday.
The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area, according to bystander accounts.
People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative's event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.
Kirk published a post on X just minutes before reports of the shooting emerged.
'WE. ARE. SO. BACK,' Kirk wrote at 2.23pm EST.
WASHINGTON – Read the opinions for yourself. That’s the message Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had Sept. 10 for viewers of the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” the day after her blistering response to her conservative colleagues’ latest ruling siding with the Trump administration. The majority said the administration can for now resume the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in southern California that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling. In her dissent for the court’s three liberals, Sotomayor said the majority’s decision “is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket.” “We should not have to live in a country where
WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach.
Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects.
This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.
A suspect who opened fire on conservative influencer Charlie Kirk has been captured, FBI Director Kash Patel has confirmed.
Kirk, 31, was shot at 12.20pm during a rally at Utah Valley University by a gunman who was caught on camera dashing across a rooftop in the moments after he opened fire.
Terrified screams erupted as the Turning Point USA founder toppled from his chair after the shots rang out.
Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist, Trump ally and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot on Wednesday while hosting an event in Utah and is in critical condition at a hospital. In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley. There is also video footage of students on campus running away from the sound of gunshots.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an assassin while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour Wednesday, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.
The shooter remains on the loose, sources told The Post, despite conflicting reports that an arrest was made. Video was circulating on social media showing an older man being hauled away by police.
Asked if Kirk was in the hospital, President Trump told The Post somberly, “He’s not doing well…yes, it looks very bad,” adding that he was feeling “not good” about the shooting.
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.
