Bill Maher Wrecks the Left on Their Disgraceful
Rhetoric After Kirk Assassination

Original Article

This has been a difficult week, with the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. It's prompted a lot of discussion about dangerous rhetoric and security. Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump went out to eat in Washington, D.C., to demonstrate that the city is safer after his crime crackdown. He went to Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab, near the White House. He's certainly made the streets safer for people in D.C., and he was cheered when he arrived. While Trump was at the restaurant, there was another concerning moment that raised questions about the Secret Service. As Trump was being ushered to his seat

“Call them out.” That’s our new battle cry. But: we’ve had 10+ years of this. During which time young people crawled through Covid and became addicted to (fill in the blank.) AND, we’ve elevated marginal IQ and dubious people of character to the highest echelons of power. 10 years is a long time to nurture hate in smoke-filled chat rooms. We have created our own version of “radical Islamists.” “Call them out”? They have morphed into crazed demons who don’t understand when they’ve been called out and, understand only violence. Unfortunately, I’m not sure there is an answer for our dilemma.

Despite the best efforts of the MSM, many young Dems are seeing their party for what it is - a sham of lies and deceit. They have just witnessed the brutal murder of a political opponent and don't like what they see.

How did these people know he would be at the restaurant? Obviously they had their rhetoric all ready for his appearance. Somebody told them where he would be. Better check with security and see who slipped them the information.

People who repeatedly call Trump Hitler aren't being told anything they don't know. It is a deliberately provocative gesture intended to get a response. And yes, there should be a response. Not cursing them back. But getting them dismissed like Kirk assassination celebrators.

Maher has been on the other side of the wall throwing stones for far too long for me to be accepting this honesty all of a sudden. If the nattering nellies show up where Trump and his entourage go to dinner, people could be watching the White House constantly and see when the group of black limos ventures out. But yes, I would imagine that leftist implants still work there. Back when the Obamas went to dinner, the SS would empty the entire restaurant and the street in front of it. The riff raff were not permitted to get close to him. In these days of leftist outrage, that might not be a bad idea.

Somewhat, but then he gets into that "both sides" BS. It isn't both sides, it's only one, and that is the cause of the increasing desire for vengeance, or at least a non-milquetoast response, which is all that our side has had to offer up until now. That will probably continue, after the saber-rattling dies down, as it will. "We're better than that" is the mantra of a loser.

Maybe the leftists should be thinking about the personal consequences of actual "both sides" hostilities. Growing up in the 1960s, my country and its media taught me that nightly body count reports effectively sway public opinion. Body counts of our own sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and parents were more effective than enemy soldier or VC insurgent body count reports in affecting public opinion sufficiently to affect the trajectory of a war. I also learned that it was our national policy to kill communists overseas, based on the "domino theory," to avoid having to fight them on our nation's streets, and the very notion of voting them into public office was once considered absurd. A big shift occurred in the 1970s, when the 'elite,' those born of privilege sufficient to avoid being conscripted into our Armed Forces and criminal draft dodgers, began being voted in to public office, aided by an ever-creeping leftist dominated media and an educational industry, focused primarily on leftist dogma. Now that conservatives are high on the endangered species list, logic would indicate that stopping the open war on conservatives might more readily be accomplished by rising leftist body counts, with ''both sides having an equal chance of sudden death. Ignoring or simply "calling out" rapidly multiplying cancer cells is not how one survives cancer. Cancer cells are killed down to fresh, non-cancerous cells. The fundamental tenets of Islam and communism, as we've witnessed them play out, are demonstrably antithetical to our Constitution and the very notion of Western civilization, the cultivated grounds for individual freedom and liberty. How many hostages, taken and held by Palestinians, in vile acts of total war against a small, relatively isolated sovereign nation, were released before Israel began killing Palestinian leaders and front line Palestinian terrorists in ever-increasing numbers? In any conflict, when 'both sides' suffer, resolution is likely more forthcoming.

Bill Maher has been consistent on two topics. Free speech and Islamic terrorism. Free speech aside, he shares responsibility for leftist violence, because he's been out there claiming that Trump is a threat to democracy and he has and still does spread disinformation. Despite the number of times that his claims have been debunked. That said, he is the first well known liberal that I've heard come out and say that Trump isn't Hitler, and to knock it off. For that, I'll give him props.

The president of the leftist magazine The Nation Bhaskar Sunkara was up in arms over Vice President J.D. Vance’s connection of his publication to billionaire George Soros during a recent TV interview. The reality: Vance was hovering over the target, and Sunkara was being blatantly deceptive. Sunkara railed against Vance in an X post for saying Soros “funds” The Nation: “I'm not sure where he's getting his information, but JD Vance is lying about The Nation magazine.” He continued, claiming unequivocally that “we're not funded, not one dime, by Soros or Open Society Foundation.” Here’s the deception:

People who celebrate the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk should be held accountable, US Vice-President JD Vance has said. "Call them out, and hell, call their employer," Vance said as he guest-hosted an episode of the Charlie Kirk Show. "We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility." Pilots, medical professionals, teachers and one Secret Service employee are among those who have been suspended or sacked for social media posts that were deemed inappropriate about Kirk's death. Critics have argued the firings threaten free speech and employee protections, although US companies have wide latitude to terminate employees.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Monday, Sept. 15, 2025, denied the Trump administration’s emergency bid to pause a lower-court order that kept Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook in office. In a brief order with separate statements, Judges Garcia and Childs denied the stay, and Judge Katsas dissented, leaving intact the district court’s injunction while the appeal proceeds. You can read the court’s order and both statements in the official filing from the D.C. Circuit here. The three-judge panel's decision is rooted in the phrasing of the statute at play.

Speaking to Bill Hemmer, Bongino said, “There appear to have been multiple warning signs. There were people in [the suspect’s] network — friends and family — who had stated that he had become more political…I believe some of his co-workers stated that he had kind of detached himself when the topic of politics came up and walked away from them.” He added that it seems “ideology had infected him and had taken over.”

The Pentagon is not backing down from its quest for consequences for those who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s killing, even as Democrats warn the move is "un-American" and violates free speech protections. The controversy underscores a clash between military discipline and First Amendment rights, with top Pentagon officials arguing that celebrating the killing of an American political figure is unacceptable conduct for service members — while Democrats counter that the crackdown risks punishing constitutionally protected speech. "Hunting down and prosecuting service members for their individual political beliefs is dangerous and un-American," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger, wrote on X.

Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else. Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure you that nobody who was there believes it. It was far larger, at least one million, but probably nearer three. And it did not appear out of nowhere.

A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked a lower court order mandating taxpayer funding for abortion giant Planned Parenthood. A three-judge panel for U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, all appointed by former President Joe Biden (D), ultimately allowed a congressionally approved measure stripping Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid to go forward as litigation continues. The order stays two July preliminary injunctions issued by Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, which blocked the defunding measure from going into effect.

The Trump administration is deploying cutting-edge artificial intelligence to conduct an unprecedented review of more than 55 million visa holders in what could become the largest immigration dragnet in U.S. history. But in practical terms, the unprecedented vetting process will likely target a far smaller pool than the number being floated publicly. It's a sort of psychological warfare designed to trigger mass self-deportations, a former State Department employee tells. "They don't need to scrub 55 million. They just need to say they are casting the net as extensively as possible, to encourage those who know they are ineligible, probably overstaying their visas, to self-deport before they are caught"

She is the top Democrat on the latter panel's Subcommittee on Workforce Protections. It's part of the continued fallout from Kirk's killing in Utah during a college speaking event.
