Pentagon calls Charlie Kirk posts ‘domestic
terrorism’; Dem warns discipline is ‘un-American’
Posted By: Hazymac, 9/16/2025 8:13:15 AM
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.

Horatius Cocles, Meet Kash Patel

In myth or fictional movies, there's always a hero who does the heroic stuff. In history, though, there are heroes who perform such incredible feats of courage and valor that they're added to history. Add a generation or two, and that history becomes legend. Add another generation or two, and that legend becomes mythic.
When Rome trembled before foreign hosts, in ancient times, one man stood at the opening of a narrow wooden bridge across the Tiber River. After the Etruscans attacked, the Romans panicked, and the bridge behind Horatius had to be destroyed before the enemy could use it. Scarred, one-eyed Horatius Cocles refused to yield, fighting until
Be Careful of the Cornered Democrat Rat

We all know that when you corner an animal, it will fight tooth and nail for its survival. This means that even supposedly meek creatures will defend themselves with a surprising level of frenzy and violence. The choice for any cornered creature facing death is to go out with an all-out snarl.
This is where the Democrat party movement finds itself. Snubbed at the polls, cut off from sub rosa USAID sustenance, humiliated time and again by the ever adroit Donald Trump, and hemorrhaging its plantation BIPOCs, the party has resorted to obscenities, outright antisemitism, and the defense of criminals everywhere (including drug-runners
In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a violently deranged and hate-filled leftist (yes, that is a confirmed fact), some on the hard Left have been publicly expressing justifications for, and even celebrations of, the murder. These ghouls do not represent America, nor do they represent America's center-left coalition writ large. Many politicians, public figures and private citizens on the 'progressive' end of the spectrum have prominently and unequivocally denounced the killing. This must be acknowledged and embraced with gratitude by all people of good will. The forces of decency must stand together against the cancer of political violence and twisted vigilantism.
Some top Trump officials have made some not-so-helpful remarks about free speech and hate speech, namely from Attorney General Pam Bondi. I don’t think the government should be the point of the lance in targeting people who say insane things. We, as citizens, do a fine job exposing those creeps—there have been hordes of professionals fired or placed on leave for gross posts celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We’ll revisit that later, but, of course, CNN was aghast at this, with host Abby Phillip trying to spin this as a move to punish the Left and President Trump’s political rivals. That’s such a juvenile, knee-jerk take.

Governor Walz is still threatening to call a special session of the Minnesota legislature in the aftermath of last month’s mass shooting by Robin (formerly Robert) Westman at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis. He wants them to do something about “gun violence” and to adopt an “assault weapons” ban.
Walz has been threatening to call the special session for a while. Something has caused him to pause. Perhaps it’s the fact that not all Democratic legislators think it’s a brilliant idea. Perhaps it’s the fact that Republicans would offer their own proposals to address the shooting, including this one: “Repeal or amend the Democrats’ prohibition
The left is evil. The left is a gang of terrorists. If you have any lingering doubt about that, consider this: first they were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, but now leftists are making those celebrations look practically innocent. Hit lists have begun to appear on social media, as bloodthirsty leftists indulge their fantasies about which of their designated enemies they would like to see murdered next. And yes, there is no doubt whatsoever that the people who are openly displaying their bloodlust in this way think all the while that they occupy the moral high ground.

The Right Unites in the UK

On Saturday, a huge crowd turned out for a “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London. It was led by Tommy Robinson, and Elon Musk appeared via video link. The crowd also honored Charlie Kirk. Official estimates put the crowd between 100,000 and 150,000. I am no expert on crowd size, but it looked much bigger than that. Some partisans claimed it was as many as three million.
English and United Kingdom flags were everywhere. The demonstrators were protesting the British government’s immigration policies, which threaten to render England extinct, and assaults on freedom of speech, exemplified by recent arrests of conservatives for tweets.

The New York Times Perpetuates a Lie

Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement–putting it in quotation marks–that the person never said. That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper.
But it is exactly what former Washington Post “journalist” Karen Attiah did, on the BlueSky hate platform: (X) The quote Attiah attributed to Charlie Kirk? He never said it. She just made it up. Her fabrication was rapidly exposed on X, and The Washington Post did the only thing it could, confronted with such misconduct: they fired her.
So Attiah took her grievance to the New York Times, which printed a sympathetic account by one Benjamin Mullin:
Karen Attiah,
The Trump-Rubio U.S. State Department revoked the visa of a punk rapper who viciously and gleefully mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a show.
A clip of Bobby Vylan, aka Pascal Robinson-Foster, the frontman for the English punk rap duo also called Bob Vylan, sparked outrage when he ghoulishly joked and danced on stage after Kirk’s assassination.
Walking back in forth in front of a Palestinian flag at an Amsterdam venue, Vylan ranted, “I wanna dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of sh** of a human being, the pronouns was/were,” at which the audience began screaming and applauding with excitement. Grinning, Vylan yelled, “Cause if you talk
Three recent events have underscored the catastrophic erosion of the foundational tenets of the United States and the anti-Americanism of the Democrat Party. The first is the brutal murder of a young woman in Charlotte, N.C., Iryna Zarutska. The second, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The third, sitting Democrat senator Tim Kaine’s declaration reflecting a fundamental belief within the current Democrat Party that the government is the source and, thus, the final arbiter of all human rights.
Over the centuries, those that deem the state is paramount and, thus, the source of all rights, believe granting, limiting, or denying these rights is the sole discretion of the state based on
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Back in June of 2022, I wrote a column asking why I should give up my guns if they weren't harming or killing anyone. It was a valid question, given the fact that gun grabbers were constantly demonizing me for something that I had never done and was never planning to do. It's something that most of us on the conservative side of things are familiar with.

Former President Barack Obama implied Tuesday that President Donald Trump was to blame for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, because of “extreme” personnel and policies that aroused violent opposition.
Obama was interviewed onstage by Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania.
He mourned Kirk’s death, saying it was “horrific,” but made sure to recite an (inaccurate) laundry list of Kirk’s more controversial statements, including a false claim that Kirk claimed black women were stupid.
Obama then said that Trump wanted to use Kirk’s assassination as “a rationale

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Tuesday warned that the poor quality of civics education means Americans may not know the difference between a president and a king. Sotomayor bemoaned the lack of education about such issues as the rule of law, saying not enough people have a basic understanding of the power of the president and the limits imposed upon that authority by the Constitution. "Do we understand what the difference is between a king and a president?" she said at a civics conference held at New York Law School in Manhattan. "And I think if people understood
Disney’s ABC said it would take Jimmy Kimmel‘s popular late-night show off its schedule “indefinitely” after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it would pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Nexstar said Wednesday that its “owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future, beginning with tonight’s show.” The company said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”
Former President Barack Obama addressed the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk on Tuesday, calling the killing a “tragedy” that poses a “threat to all of us” before scolding President Trump for contributing to a dangerous political climate.
Speaking with journalist Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Pennsylvania, Obama cast Kirk’s assassination as part of an escalating trend of political violence.
“Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, what happened to Charlie Kirk was horrific and a tragedy,”
An immigration judge in Louisiana has ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the U.S., deported to Syria or Algeria for failing to disclose certain information on his green card application, according to documents filed in federal court Wednesday by his lawyers.
Khalil’s lawyers suggested in a filing that they intend to appeal the deportation order, but expressed concern that the appeal process will likely be swift and unfavorable. The order from the immigration judge, Jamee Comans, came despite a separate order in Khalil’s federal case in New Jersey blocking his deportation while that court considers Khalil’s legal argument
While he was vice president, Joe Biden stepped onto taxpayer-funded Air Force 2, traveled to Ukraine, and conducted personal business with Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko. He was there “to protect the interests of Hunter Biden,” according to documents released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, (snip)
The new documents strengthen the information in previously released records. Last Congress, Grassley released FBI 1023 records — statements from confidential sources — alleging that when Biden was vice president, executives for Ukrainian gas company Burisma put his son Hunter Biden on the company’s board of directors to “protect us through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” according to that “confidential human source.”
President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he will designate antifa, a left-wing activist group, as a "major terrorist organization."
Trump described the group as "A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER," in a Truth Social announcement.
The president added he will be "strongly recommending" that those funding antifa be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.
The announcement comes just days after Trump said he would "100%" consider the designation.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have come out against a Republican stopgap spending bill as Congress edges towards a shutdown.
House Republican leaders on Tuesday released the text for a stopgap funding bill that would set aside tens of millions of dollars for security assistance for lawmakers and federal officials amid heightened concerns about political violence after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The stopgap funding bill, otherwise known as a continuing resolution (CR), would seek to avert a government shutdown on October 1 and keep the government open through November 21.

Gushed Over Charlie Kirk Assassin's ‘Loving’ Messages 15 replies
There's bias in the media, and then there's next-level, full-throated love of the most extreme parts of the leftist movement, as exhibited by ABC News reporter Matt Gutman.
Gutman, as many are aware, went on an unhinged romanticization of text messages revealed by Charlie Kirk's assassin to his love interest, where he seemingly admitted to and attempted to justify his actions.
The reporter thoroughly embarrassed himself with the gushing sentiments. He felt the need to highlight the "duality" of a deranged killer and how he spoke "so lovingly" to his partner.
"It was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect," Gutman said.
YORK COUNTY, Pa. —
Three officers are dead, and two others were seriously injured after a shooting occurred in York County on Wednesday afternoon.

WGAL said officials were allegedly serving a warrant when they were shot at by an individual.
During a press conference on Wednesday evening following the shooting, Colonel Christopher L. Paris said three officers were killed and two others were in critical but stable condition.
As President Donald Trump tries to force Lisa Cook out of her job at the Federal Reserve, her lawyers have pointed to a similar event in history — one where the president lost at the Supreme Court. On October 7, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt fired William E. Humphrey from his post at the Federal Trade Commission. The reason was purely political: The president wanted someone who could advance his priorities.. "I do not feel that your mind and my mind go along together," Roosevelt told Humphrey in a letter. His term at the FTC was supposed to last until 1938. When Humphrey refused to resign, Roosevelt fired him.
The University of California, Los Angeles has placed its controversial race and equity director, Johnathan Perkins, on leave after he celebrated conservative commentator Charlie Kirk's assassination in a series of social media posts.
Perkins, a veteran diversity consultant who worked in the Office of the General Counsel at Harvard University before joining UCLA in 2019, took to left-wing X copycat Bluesky on Friday to disparage Kirk. In one post, he responded to a user who called Kirk the right's "Rush Limbaugh replacement" with the message, "Yup. Good riddance, both."
