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.

terrorism’; Dem warns discipline is ‘un-American’ 16 replies
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.
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.

The Garden State approved a bill that legalizes human composting, an alternative to traditional burials in which a corpse is transformed into nutrient-rich soil that loved ones can use to feed their favorite houseplant or scatter like ashes.

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
Robert Redford, the leading man with the golden-boy looks who won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and later became a godfather for independent film as founder of the Sundance Film Institute, has died. He was 89.
Cindi Berger, chief executive of the publicity firm Rogers & Cowan PMK, confirmed the news to Variety.
“Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved,” Berger said in a statement. “He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”
The elderly rabble-rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities’ response after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot is now accused of keeping “graphic” sexual photos of children on his phone, according to law enforcement. George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Monday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old, at least partially naked and “posing” in a “sexual” way, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Tuesday. “Zinn admitted … that[snip] his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old,” the agency alleged.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would file a $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging defamation and libel, and calling the newspaper a “mouthpiece” for the Democratic party.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump attacked the newspaper for being “a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democratic Party,” while accusing if of making false statements about him, his family and business, without elaborating on the allegations.
The lawsuit suit was being brought in the state of Florida, Trump said without providing further details.

Fraud in the US Senate’ Adam Schiff

Senator Adam Schiff made an appearance at a Senate Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday and was summarily leveled by a wrecking ball named Kash Patel.
Schiff and Patel engaged in a rather lopsided exchange in which the California Democrat demanded answers as to why Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred from a low-security federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.
The implication being that the move was part of a wink and a nod agreement coinciding with an interview conducted by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

On Tuesday’s ABC News Special Report about Utah County officials formally announcing charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, chief national correspondent Matt Gutman expressed affinity for the suspect and admiration for his love story with a trans person, gushing the text messages released by authorities were “lovingly” stated, “very intimate,” and “very touching.” Gutman was reporting from the site of the press conference when he told World News Tonight anchor David Muir something “that stood out” was “those text messages” between the suspect and his roommate/lover.
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed on social media Monday that more than 100 teachers in his state are being removed from the classroom.
These educators will lose their jobs, their teaching certificates, and the ability to ever lead students astray in Texas again.
Their offense? Glorifying or celebrating the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.
Abbott responded to a post on X that claimed Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath was investigating teachers.
Morath made clear where the state stands.

Calls Charlie Kirk ‘Fascist Organizer’
Unworthy of Empathy 16 replies
Esperanza Yanez, an attorney employed by the Nashville Public Defender’s Office, published at least four posts to social media claiming her lack of “empathy” for the assassination of Charlie Kirk was justified by claiming the Turning Point USA founder was a “fascist organizer.”
Yanez first publicly commented on Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday afternoon, only hours after he was killed, when she claimed that Kirk, “said he loved the genocide occurring in Palestine and wanted to see more of it,” before adding an emoji depicting a woman shrugging.
Hours later, Yanez (pictured above) wrote in another post, “demanding empathy for a hateful person like this is insane,”

Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA was on a short list of Republican groups targeted by President Joe Biden’s FBI under the direction of then-Director Christopher Wray.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, dropped that bombshell Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee regular hearing on the oversight of the FBI, along with a revolting new document. “It’s well-understood that your predecessor left you an FBI infected with politics,” Grassley said in his opening statement, speaking to current FBI Director Kash Patel. As proof, Grassley shared recently released records listing 92 targets the FBI was investigating or intending to investigate in the large-scale, multi-year political weaponization operation named Arctic Frost
