Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to axe his late-night night show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination – while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.”
The comedian, 57, was left fuming over the network’s Wednesday decision to suspend him and pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” after he unleashed a hateful tirade against the gunned down conservative activist during Monday night’s monologue, sources and producers told the Daily Mail.
Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
Jimmy Kimmel is not a comedian. He's just an embarrasing clown. He's whining about getting fired by ABC but in reality he should have never been there in the first place.
He finally has to wear the "doody head" and he doesn't like it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Check your ratings and ABC 's cost benefit ratio and earnings. Just like that other idiot on CBS its all about me! News flash: It isnt.
The cancel culture just cancelled Kimmel.
How does it feel, Jimmy?
You laughed and mocked all those on the right that got cancelled, now it is your turn.
How does it feel?
Yeah, Jimmy really blew it this time. Oh, he and his top tier "talent" will get their contractual obligatory payouts. But the hundreds of staffers are probably out of a job with maybe 2 weeks severance.
Colbert and Kimmel are not nearly as important as they seem to think they are. They are both has-been 2 bit so-called comedians who wore out their welcome and were losing most of their viewers to Greg Gutfeld. We have far more important things to be concerned about.
He can have all the free speech he wants. Just take your soapbox out to the public square and start ranting. And don't forget to dodge the rotten tomatoes.
the fault lies somewhere in upper management. jk is ratings disaster, he should have been
gone long ago if management were advocates of stockholder value.
Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano on Friday walked back his remark made earlier in the day that raising the retirement age was among the entitlement reforms being considered by the Trump administration.
In an interview with Fox Business, host Maria Bartiromo asked Bisignano if he’d consider increasing the age for full federal retirement benefits, which currently stands at 67.I think everything’s being considered and will be considered,” he said.
Bisignano noted that any change recommended by Social Security trustees — a group that also includes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — would need congressional approval.
The brutal murder of Charlie Kirk has evoked an array of passionate and argued responses, many of which are misguided or patently false: We need to cool the rhetoric. Trump in power breeds unrest. Both sides of the political aisle engage equally in political violence. Kirk’s right-wing incendiary language had deadly consequences. The shooter was merely a paramour overwhelmed by protective passion.
These are all distractions (at the very least) from the truth about Charlie Kirk’s death: Charlie Kirk died because he went into spaces that were bastions of leftist thought and confronted an inherently violent ideology with biblical truth —
Traditionally, it’s called “the people’s house” because the House of Representatives is supposed to represent and reflect the people to whom the congressional members represent. Republicans in the House threatened to withhold votes if Speaker Mike Johnson did not pass an enhanced House Member Security Funding Bill that includes a payment of $25,000/month per lawmaker to hire their own private security. This is in addition to the pre-existing security packages the House members receive.
The monthly funds would be designated for use hiring private security when the representatives are not in Washington DC. It is the republican wing pushing this demand.
recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services memo announced that foreigners aspiring to become American citizens must meet a “Good Moral Character” standard. This directive is a return to policies that existed before the loosening of naturalization requirements in the early 1990s. That USCIS is now again requiring foreigners to demonstrate “character commensurate with the standards of average citizens” is positive.
Critics argue the change will make acquiring citizenship too difficult or political. But as the USCIS memo relates, naturalization is not simply “a procedural immigration benefit.”
Make no mistake here: Jimmy Kimmel doomed himself with his lunatic lecture Monday night, the latest in a long string of partisan rants rarely even pretended to try for humor.
And it was the complaints from ABC’s affiliates — likely based on what they were hearing from their viewers — that led the network to suspend his show late Wednesday.
Yes, Brendan Carr muddied the waters earlier on Wednesday, when the Federal Communications Commission chief, touching on Kimmel, suggested the FCC is “going to have remedies that we can look at.”
Yet the “comedian’s” goose was surely already cooked,
President Trump announced on TruthSocial on Constitution Day that he is officially designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. To commemorate the occasion, I've used one of Antifa's own hype quotes from its posters, websites, and signs to announce: Antifa: It's Going Down. It'll take some work, but at least some of the people in this destructive, antisocial organization will likely get rolled up in the Trump Administration's efforts to treat Antifa like the terror organization it has proven itself to be. Trump 45 gave oxygen to the idea of treating Antifa like a terrorist organization,
It continues to astound me that there are some issues out there that should transcend various factions in the Republican Party, that should be a rallying cry for every right-leaning person contending to be motivated by moral decency, and the party still can't come together to take a stand.
Perhaps it's naiveté on my part.
Democrats, the resistance party that helped usher in an era of incivility by portraying every American with even the slightest differences in thought and opinion by labeling them alternately as "fascists" or "Nazis," —
Nina Jankowicz, who was in line to become the Biden administration’s “disinformation czar” under a short-lived plan to create a Disinformation Governance Board, is crying foul after she lost an appeal of a ruling that sent her defamation lawsuit against Fox News to the landfill.
In July of 2024, Jankowicz lost her initial bid to sue Fox News for defamation. She had claimed Fox’s coverage of the 2022 furor over the creation of the board and its subsequent dissolution crossed the line.
“This was a politically motivated lawsuit aimed at silencing free speech and we are pleased with the court’s decision to protect the First Amendment,”
On Wednesday night, during his historic second state visit to the United Kingdom, President Donald Trump officially declared Antifa a “major terrorist organization.”
For years, Antifa has been terrorizing communities across the United States with their brute violence and threats against innocent Americans.
In 2020, Antifa and BLM set a record in the United States for causing over $2 billion in property damage.
In Minneapolis alone, Antifa-BLM mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings. Over 700 police officers were injured in the 2020 riots!
Antifa-BLM mobs were linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most expensive property damage in US insurance history.
For decades, Qatar has held itself out as a U.S. ally while simultaneously acting as a patron of Hamas, a U.S. government-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Qatar housed Hamas’s leadership, financed its operations, and used the Al Jazeera network, the mouthpiece of the Qatari government, to spin Hamas’s terrorism as “resistance” or a “struggle for freedom.” Qatar’s doublespeak and double-dealing have finally come to an end. Predictably, Arab media and official statements rushed to frame Qatar as a “victim” of Israeli aggression. Talking heads lamented: how could Israel dare to strike inside the borders of Qatar, which had been “helping” to secure the release of Israeli hostages? The irony is unbearable.
Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.
Kirk had remarked on X in 2017, “Jimmy Kimmel isn’t funny.” His observation gained attention again on social media as users reacted to the network’s decision to remove Kimmel following backlash over his on-air comments about Kirk’s assassination.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed that just because people commit crimes, it “doesn’t make them a criminal,” adding that it depends on the person’s “mindset.”
During an interview with “genderqueer” Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness, Crockett was asked about having worked as a public defender, and what she wished that “people knew.” Crockett responded by explaining that when you are “assigned to only deal with indigent people” you end up learning “a lot about yourself.”
“It’s just understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?”
Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a run for president in 2028, according to a report Friday.
The socialist “Squad” member is gearing up to seek higher office as she’s attempted to grow her presence across the country and the Empire State, people familiar with her operation told Axios in a Friday report.
Ocasio-Cortez and her team are deciding on whether to run for the Senate or the White House, sources told the outlet.

In a recent social media post, an Oberlin student called for a return to “political assassinations” following conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death last week, when he was shot and killed while speaking at a Utah university. Oberlin College and Conservatory President Carmen Twillie Ambar confirmed Thursday that Julia Xu attends the college. “Last week, an Oberlin student published a personal social media post that glorified political assassinations and incorrectly linked this ideology to the perspective of a faculty member,”... “The student has subsequently issued a public apology and expressed deep regret.” Ambar said that the comments do not reflect the college and conservatory.
French First Lady Brigitte Macron will present photographic evidence to a U.S. court to prove she is a woman as part of her defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens.
Mrs Macron and her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, filed suit in July over “substantial reputational damage” against Owens addressing what they called repeated “falsehoods” that Mrs Macron is in fact secretly a man, as Breitbart News reported.
Owens has propagated unsubstantiated claims the first lady was born male and used to go by the name Jean-Michel Trogneux — who in reality is Mrs Macron’s older brother.
Nearly 60 House Democrats on Friday voted down a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk — including “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused the slain conservative activist of being a “bigot.”
Four of the Dems who voted “nay” hail from New York — AOC, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, and Nydia Velazquez — and three represent New Jersey: Reps. Robert Menendez, Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver.
The resolution condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the assassination of the Turning Point USA co-founder and commended law enforcement for arresting and charging Kirk’s alleged killer.
The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday condemning political violence and honoring Charlie Kirk, but nearly a hundred Democrats refused to support it. The final tally was 310-58, with every Republican voting in favor and 96 Democrats either voting against it or refusing to take a stand at all by voting present. That raw number is impossible to ignore: Close to 100 Democrats balked at denouncing political violence when the resolution also praised Kirk’s legacy.
This becomes even more striking when you remember what happened just a few months ago.

In a recent court filing, Nicholas Roske’s defense attorneys call their client “Sophie” and explain in a footnote that they will use female pronouns to refer to him “out of respect.”

Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib had a fiery back-and-forth with Florida's Byron Donalds during a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday.The outspoken Democrat blasted President Donald Trump's Washington DC crime crackdown, slipping in a jab about the National Guard decision by the Trump administration as "fascist" during the hearing with Mayor Muriel Bowser and other DC leaders.
"We can't be passive right now ... nobody over there should take this personally," she said, motioning at the Republican side of the chamber. "It's really important we stand up against this fascist takeover - that's not a bad word, it's a fact."

At that point, Donalds interjected, bringing up the fascist remark.
US Representative Ilhan Omar doubled down on her critique of Charlie Kirk and his camp at a town hall meeting in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, on Saturday, September 13, footage shows.
More than 100 filed into the Elim Lutheran Church for the gathering, where bag checks and metal detectors were implemented as part of a heightened security effort amid the wave of recent political violence in Minnesota and the US.
Almost an hour into the meeting, a man criticized Omar for comments she made on Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo News regarding various right-leaning figures.“So I’m just wondering, which approach is better?” questioned the man.
ASHLAND — Ashland County Fair officials booted the Ashland County Democratic Party booth on Thursday following the political party’s sale of “offensive buttons” directed toward President Donald Trump. The Ashland County Fair posted on Facebook around 8 p.m. on Thursday that it had been “made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth.” The Ashland County Fair Board would like to let you know this afternoon we were made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth. We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant. We apologize for those who saw the display. The democrat party has been asked to pack their booth up for this year so they will not be here the remaining of our Fair week. This is not political, we just can't have this at our County Fair!
Senate Republicans confirmed dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees with one vote Thursday, days after changing the chamber’s rules along party lines to allow group consideration for most executive branch picks.
The first bloc included 48 Trump nominees for midlevel executive branch positions and ambassadorships. Had they been processed individually, their confirmations would have eaten up weeks of floor time.
“If the Senate had continued at the pace that we’ve been proceeding at through the month of July there would still be hundreds of empty desks
