Obama Opens Up on Kirk Assassination,
Scolds Trump for ‘Extreme’ Rhetoric
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/17/2025 4:28:53 PM
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,”

President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of US troops to Portland, Oregon, authorising use of "full force" if needed, to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centres.
Trump said he was "directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland".
He claimed that the move would help protect "any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists," adding on Truth Social: "I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary."
The announcement drew pushback from Democratic lawmakers, who said there was no need for federal troops to be deployed to the city.
An Iowa school district superintendent living in the United States illegally who also faces weapons charges was arrested Friday, authorities said.
Ian Andre Roberts, who heads the Des Moines Public Schools—the largest school district in the state—was taken into custody on a fugitive warrant. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pursued Roberts after he sped away, authorities said.
They later found his vehicle abandoned, and an Iowa State Patrol K-9 was called in to help search for him.
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to allow the Trump administration keep frozen billions of dollars in foreign aid that is set to expire next week, the latest turn in a lengthy legal saga over the congressionally appropriated funds.
The emergency intervention came at the administration’s urging to lift a lower court’s ruling ordering it to spend $4 billion in funds approved for aid programs by Sept. 30, its expiration date.
It indefinitely extends the pause on U.S. District Judge Amir Ali’s injunction that was put in place earlier this month by Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles emergency appeals from the nation’s capital by default,
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s surprise gathering of hundreds of generals and admirals in Virginia next week is being called so he can describe the administration’s reinvention of the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and outline new standards for military personnel, according to half a dozen people familiar with the planning.
“It’s meant to be a show of force of what the new military now looks like under the president,” a White House official told CNN.
The meeting is expected to resemble “a pep rally” where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the “warrior ethos” and outline a new vision
As you may have seen, someone fired a hail of bullets at a kids' baseball tournament in Katy, Texas, hitting a coach as he led his team in a pre-game prayer and sending children and their coaches scrambling for cover. The Operation Mockingbird media mudpuppies suggested the gunfire was "target practice" from about 600-700 yards away, or perhaps even just some hunters not being careful.
Watch this video and let me know if this sounds like hunters or distant target practice: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has charged two men for the fusillade of bullets they fired at dozens of kids and adults at the Rac baseball complex.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has declined to prosecute a woman who left a pro-life activist bloodied during a street interview in New York City earlier this year, according to attorneys from the Thomas More Society.
New York police arrested Brianna J. Rivers, 30, in April on one count of second-degree assault after she sucker punched activist Savannah Craven Antao during a street interview on abortion. The attack was caught on camera as Craven Antao asked Rivers questions about abortion on behalf of the pro-life organization Live Action.
The Attacks on ICE Must Stop
7 replies
This week featured yet another violent attack on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Wednesday morning, three detainees of ICE were shot in an attack that appears to have targeted Dallas-based ICE agents. One of the detainees died, and the others are in critical condition. The suspect, identified as Joshua Jahn, was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Law enforcement relayed that, like the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk, the shooter in Dallas inscribed political messages on the bullets or their casings. The messages were “anti-ICE” in nature.
This has to stop. It’s part of a very disturbing trend.
In July, eleven left-wing agitators ambushed an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas,
A kids' baseball coach was leading his team in a pre-game prayer when bullets flew across the Ameripark sports complex, locally known as The Rac, in Katy, Texas.
Players ran as the shots rang out. The team's coach took a bullet to the shoulder. He was evacuated to a hospital by helicopter.
"I have to legit bear crawl to my mom on my arms," Colton Bierman, 11, told a reporter for KPRC.
That's when things got wonky.
I first read NBC's version of this story, and I immediately smelled a sink badger in the perfume aisle.
The Operation Mockingbird mouthpiece suggested, with help from The Rac, that the shooting
The political panel on CNN’s The Arena was purely hinged Thursday afternoon, not only declaring “there’s no evidence” and “no basis” to state the Dallas, Texas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility shooter was on the far left, but also blaming President Trump and the GOP for the rise in political violence....which would include the September 10 assassination of Charlie Kirk. In addition to being reckless and dangerous for failing to recognize the rise in political violence on their side (the left), the claims about the ICE attack motive came over a day after the initial press conference disclosing Wednesday’s attack was motivated by hate
Two days ago, Chuck Schumer threatened Donald Trump with a good time. Now, the White House threatens to make the good time permanent. Literally.
The deadline for a government shutdown is fast approaching, and Schumer tried to play hardball this week. He and Hakeem Jeffries demanded a meeting with Trump to negotiate, which Trump initially accepted, but canceled after the pair demanded a massive list of concessions before the meeting took place. Schumer then told the press that Trump was "chicken" and that any shutdown would be his fault -- even though the House had already passed the clean CR that Schumer had demanded when Joe Biden was president-ish.
So it appears Apple TV+ was going to release a new show this Friday called The Savant. The show stars actress Jessica Chastain as an investigator who profiles and identifies would-be domestic terrorists in an attempt to stop them before they commit violent crimes. But today Apple announced it would be postponing the release of the show, apparently out of concern the the subject matter is too raw after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone ‘The Savant,'” an Apple TV+ spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”
The Left-Wing Terrorism That Doesn't Count
10 replies
The Center for Strategic & International Studies has a new report out which is making headlines this week. The gist of the report is that, for the first time in decades left-wing terror attacks have outpaced right-wing terror attacks in the United States.
The nature of domestic terrorism has undergone a striking reversal this year, new research indicates: For the first time in more than 30 years, left-wing attacks are outnumbering those from the far right.
The reason that left-wing incidents this year have outpaced right-wing incidents is twofold, the researchers said. First, the number of incidents of right-wing terror plummeted this year to levels

President Trump calls attention to recent FBI admissions that around 250 FBI agents were placed in the crowd during January 6, 2021, protests. The purpose and premise of the FBI operation remains sketchy.
(Snip) FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators (snip)
I want to know who each and every one of these so-called “Agents” are,
The pain of a government shutdown won’t just be political: Millions of low-income women and children could be left hungry as soon as next week if congressional Democrats and the White House do not come to a deal.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children will soon run out of funding. If they don’t cut a deal to keep the government open, a senior White House official told RealClearPolitics, “Democrats would be turning their back on WIC recipients.”
Called WIC for short, the program provides vouchers for healthy food to low-income pregnant and postpartum women,
Kamala Harris’s book 107 Days confirms two truths: Joe Biden never should have sought re-election and she did not belong on a national ticket.
Biden was snared by Father Time and hubris. The 46th president was not the transformational figure he saw in the mirror. More than half the US rated him a failure. “People hate Joe Biden,” Harris quotes David Plouffe, her senior strategist and an Obama White House veteran, as saying.
What’s unstated is that Harris was never a vote-magnet.
Iranian state media on Friday announced the regime in Tehran has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Russia’s state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, to build four nuclear power plants in Iran.
The deal is valued at roughly $25 billion.
Russia’s state-run Tass news agency said on Friday that the four nuclear power plants will all be part of one facility, the Hormoz Nuclear Power Plant in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan.
The company that manages the Hormoz plant said the first of the four nuclear power units to be constructed with Russian assistance will be commissioned by 2031.
In a chilling social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel described how Wednesday’s sniper at a Dallas ICE facility gathered intelligence online for the ambush that left one ICE detainee dead and two seriously injured. Authorities say suspected killer Joshua Jahn, 29, committed suicide after the ambush.
While retracing Jahn’s movements and writings, the FBI found he reviewed a document that listed Dallas DHS locations, and he “searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.” Marcos Charles, the ICE executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations, confirmed the gunman utilized these apps to carry out the attack.

Illegal Aliens Commercial Licenses Or

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned California on Friday that his department would withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal highway funding from California if it continues issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens and other ineligible foreigners.
Duffy's threat stems from an emergency rule the Department of Transportation rolled out imposing stricter rules on states regarding CDLs, prohibiting them from issuing the licenses to foreigners unless they hold employment-based visas and can pass a federal immigration status check. The rule came in response to an ongoing audit that revealed "a catastrophic pattern of states issuing licenses illegally to foreign drivers"—particularly in California—

The State Department announced Friday that it will revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro after he called on US troops to “disobey” President Trump during a New York City protest with controversial Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters.
“Earlier today, Colombian president [Gustavo Petro] stood on a NYC street and urged US soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the State Department posted on X. We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.” Petro, who was in town for the United Nations General Assembly, got on a bullhorn outside the UN’s headquarters-
Vindictive former FBI Director James Comey’s power trip is finally over as he has learned the “rule of law” he so often speaks of applies to him too.
A federal grand jury has indicted Comey for obstructing a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information and with making false statements to the federal government, according to a DOJ statement. The false statements charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, which means Comey may be fitted for the prison jumpsuit he so dearly wanted to see President Donald Trump wear.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is weighing a 2026 bid for Minnesota governor, according to a news report Friday.
Lindell is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump and is known for promoting claims about 2020 election fraud. He previously floated a bid for Minnesota governor in 2022 but decided against it, and also campaigned for become chairman of the Republican National Committee.
The CEO said he recently re-established residency in Minnesota after living in Texas.
“We’re about 99 percent there,” Lindell told the Minnesota Star Tribune.
A stranger in a “Darth Vader-like mask” repeatedly punched and stabbed a 26-year-old woman in the back in an unprovoked attack inside Brooklyn’s Prospect Park last week, sources said – leaving the victim “angry” that she has to worry for her safety in the city.
Avery Catherine Lorio – a dietician originally from Arkansas by way of California — told cops she was jogging on South Lake Drive near the tennis courts inside the iconic greenspace around 5:15 a.m. on Sept. 17 when the menace approached her, slugged her multiple times and plunged something into her back, the sources said.
The propaganda press is already hard at work trying to save James Comey. CIA-friendly “reporters” like Ken Dilanian from MSNBC are twisting themselves into pretzels to paint the charges against him as flimsy, political, or just plain ol’ “Trump’s revenge.”Here’s how the fake news media is trying to downplay what’s happening. Ken Dilanian suggests the indictment is built on words Comey never actually said… spoiler alert: he said them. (tweetThis is the same tired routine we see time and time again. Run cover for the Deep State, smear Trump, and pretend the walls aren’t closing in. Wash, rinse, repeat.
On September 14 in The Media, Charlie Kirk and guns, I engaged in a bit of informed speculation about the reported Mauser 98 rifle alleged to have been used in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I also suggested that if the assassin had never fired the rifle, if it was not properly zeroed for him, it’s likely hitting Kirk in the neck was an indication that he nearly missed. This assumes the killer was aiming for a chest or head shot.
Now we know the rifle was a Mauser 98, apparently “sporterized” by adding a modern polymer stock and what appears to be a relatively low-powered, inexpensive scope.
