Jasmine Crockett Claims Committing a Crime
‘Doesn’t Make’ a Person a Criminal
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/19/2025 12:47:01 AM
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?”

Normally, when I see a person wearing a t-shirt with an American flag and an eagle, I think, “patriot” and probably MAGA. Now, though, I’m having my doubts. Instead, I think we’re going to discover that a lot of venomously anti-MAGA people will be parading around in black t-shirts with flags and eagles on them as an homage to Charlie Kirk’s murderer, who wore that shirt when he pulled the trigger.
We’re all painfully familiar by now with the image showing Kirk’s killer right before the shooting:
We've been covering the furor on the left over the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show. Kimmel made comments on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" implying that the suspect in the Charlie Kirk killing was MAGA, and claiming MAGA was trying to capitalize on Kirk's murder.
ABC "indefinitely preempted" Kimmel's show on Wednesday, when many of their affiliate stations decided not to run the show.
Folks on the left freaked out, claiming that this was President Donald Trump shutting down free speech. They seemed more upset about the Kimmel suspension than about the killing of Charlie Kirk. However, the powers that be

From CNBC,
Dow, S&P 500 close at fresh records, log big gains for the week after Fed rate cut.
The S&P 500 index was up 0.5 percent on the day and up almost 1 percent for the week. CNBC quotes a market analyst,
While September has historically delivered pullbacks, this year’s market has defied that pattern — climbing 35% since March with strong technical and fundamental tailwinds.
Meanwhile, things aren’t so rosy in the land of the Mouse. Stock for the Walt Disney Company (ticker symbol: DIS) was down almost 1 percent today and down more than two percent for the week. Disney, of course,
Unemployment: blue state blues

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued state-level unemployment statistics this morning and it was mostly bad news for jurisdictions that backed Kamala Harris last year.
The headline,
August jobless rates up in 3 states, down in 2; payroll jobs up in 1 state.
I’ve spare you the suspense. Jobs were up significantly in Utah (Trump +21) and down in the District of Columbia (Harris +86). The unemployment rate was down in Alabama (Trump +31) and Colorado (Harris +11). Unemployment was up in Delaware (Harris +15), Maryland (Harris +29) and Minnesota (Harris +4).
It would almost be funny if it weren’t so destructive. Barack Obama — even now, after what many believe was his continued influence in the former Biden White House — has decided to posture himself as a defender of free speech. He recently warned that “the current administration has taken cancel culture to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.” Spare us the lecture.
We’ve seen the emails from Hillary Clinton’s office where editors were told to toe the line. We’ve watched Mark Zuckerberg testify in Senate hearings, admitting that government officials “told him”

The man who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman, according to newly revealed court documents.
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.”
“The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,” lawyers for Roske state in the filing, obtained by the Daily Wire. “That name remains Ms. Roske’s legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske,
Iraqi counterterrorism forces say a senior Islamic State leader has been killed in a security operation in Syria carried out in coordination with the US-led international coalition, state news agency reports.
The commander, Omar Abdul Qader Bassam, known as Abdul Rahman Al-Halabi, was the group’s head of external operations and security, the service says.
He was accused of overseeing attacks in multiple countries, including the bombing of Iran’s embassy in Lebanon, and planning other operations in Europe and the United States that were ultimately foiled through intelligence work, it adds.

A Taliban official has rejected the idea that the US could retake a key airbase in Afghanistan after President Donald Trump told reporters he wanted it back.
Zakir Jalal, who works in the Taliban's foreign ministry, said the idea of the US maintaining any military presence in Afghanistan was "completely" rejected during talks between the two sides before the Taliban returned to power.
It came after the US president hinted retaking Bagram airbase - the epicentre of Nato forces in Afghanistan for two decades - might be possible "because they need things from us".
President Donald Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times has been tossed, for now.
Calling the president's 85-page lawsuit "decidedly improper and impermissible," a federal judge in Tampa threw it out on Friday and gave him 28 days to file a new complaint that had to be under 40 pages.
U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday blasted the Trump suit for alleging only two acts of defamation, yet "Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three." He also criticized the suit's flowery descriptions about Trump and overly political language, writing a complaint is not a "public forum for vituperation
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said he would meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at a regional summit to take place at the end of October in South Korea and will visit China in the “early part of next year,” following a phone call the leaders shared on Friday.
In a Truth Social post, Trump also said the Chinese leader would come to the United states “at an appropriate time,” noting the leaders also made progress on “the approval of the TikTok Deal.”
“The call was a very good one, we will be speaking again by phone, appreciate the TikTok approval,
Estonia summoned a Russian diplomat to protest after three Russian fighter aircraft entered its airspace without permission Friday and stayed there for 12 minutes, the foreign ministry said, just over a week after NATO planes downed Russian drones over Poland and heightened fears of a spillover from the war in Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhna said that Russia violated Estonian airspace four times this year “but today’s incursion, involving three fighter aircraft entering our airspace, is unprecedentedly brazen”.
Russian officials did not immediately comment.
The Russian MIG-31 fighters entered Estonian airspace in the area of Vaindloo Island

Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was confronted on Friday about whether she regrets the timing of her comments immediately following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Omar said in an interview on CNN, "It's one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed
The Texas State University student who was expelled when he was caught mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination in front of a horrified crowd claimed he “made a mistake in the heat of the moment.” Devion Canty Jr. pleaded for help with his education costs on GoFundMe Thursday, just days after he vilely spewed profanity at a group of mourners outside the school’s Turning Point USA chapter. “Recently, I faced a situation where I had to choose between immediate expulsion or withdrawing from the university,” Canty Jr said on the crowdfunding page.

The new liberal website, The Argument, conducted an interesting poll of Trump 2024 supporters, Harris 2024 supporters, and those who didn't vote.
One question was about free speech on campus.
"For each of the following, do you believe they should be allowed to give a speech at a college campus?"
Nearly 50% of Trump voters would oppose a transgender rights activist speaking on campus. 86% of Harris voters would support it.
Nearly 55% of Harris voters would oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving a talk. 63% of Trump voters would support it.
Over 67% of Trump voters would oppose a Palestinian activist who calls for the abolition of Israel. 53% of Harris voters
The pieces of this puzzle are starting to come together, and what emerges is a picture that makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of raw self-interest. Hunter Biden, a man who has spent decades leveraging his father's position for personal gain, may have personally engineered his own presidential pardon.
Why do I think this may have been the case? Well, Biden’s former chief of staff, Jeff Zients, revealed during his House Oversight Committee testimony this week that Hunter Biden wasn't just sitting on the sidelines during those crucial final weeks of his father's presidency—he was actively participating in pardon discussions, attending multiple meetings with White House aides.
The city of Chicago has a crime problem. Everyone knows it, including Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
Pritzker himself said crime is just a part of big city life, just after a bloody Labor Day weekend where 54 people were shot and seven were killed. Mayor Johnson took a more theological approach, saying jailing criminals is "racist, unholy and doesn’t lower violent crime rates."
That was on August 25, a week before all the mayhem in Chicago. We're now halfway through September, and Mayor Johnson continues to object to putting criminals in prison. (X) As one X user said, "Imagine saying that to the families
A House resolution [HR.719 – HERE] was offered today recognizing the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk and honoring his legacy. Forty-two members of the Congressional Black Caucus voted against the resolution(snip), 4 CBC members voted present, 4 CBC members didn’t vote, once again affirming their intent to divide the country based on race. (snip)[…] The caucus outlined some of Kirk’s past comments that they said they “strongly” disagreed with, listing “his belief that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended racial segregation, was a mistake; his denial that systemic racism exists; his promotion of the Great Replacement theory; and his offensive claims about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Michelle
Nicholas J. Roske, the 29-year-old who pleaded guilty in April to the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, will be sentenced on October 3. According to a Friday court filing, Roske faces up to 30 years in prison. The Department of Justice said in the sentencing memo that they deem Roske's action as an act of terrorism.
As RedState reported, in June 2022, Roske traveled from California to Washington, D.C., for the sole purpose of assassinating Kavanaugh. Roske wandered the D.C. suburb near Kavanaugh's home armed with a pistol and ammunition, a crowbar, a "tactical knife," zip ties, and other implements in a duffel bag.
ABC brass should clarify ASAP why they suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show: The utter silence feeds confusion, conspiracy theories and other division.
On Monday’s show, Kimmel all but declared “this kid who killed Charlie Kirk” to be one of “the MAGA gang,” slammed the right for pretending otherwise and “doing everything they can to score political points” from the assassination.
As video of the smear circulated Tuesday among the overwhelming majority of Americans who never watch the show, public fury mounted and complaints started pouring into local affiliates.
And as ABC affiliates were then complaining to the network,
An armed man who was posing as a member of law enforcement was arrested by Secret Service agents at the Arizona stadium where Charlie Kirk’s funeral will be held Sunday, according to reports.
The man was detained by State Farm Stadium, home to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, in Glendale on Friday, the Secret Service told Fox News Digital.
“The U.S. Secret Service in coordination with local law enforcement in Glendale, Arizona, is investigating an individual who was observed exhibiting suspicious behavior” at the stadium, agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told the outlet Saturday.
Senate Democrats this week said they’d let the Republican short-term spending bill pass, and so avoid a government shutdown as of Oct. 1, for the low, low price of . . . $1.5 trillion.
Yep, they demand that much added spending, which means $1.5 trillion in new federal debt over the next decade.
To add a single month of uninterupted federal operations, the GOP must agree to:
1) permanently extend Biden-era ObamaCare subsidies that now sunset Dec. 31, and
2) gut the health savings just passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and 3) unfreeze $5 billion in foreign aid that President Donald Trump recently stopped while Congress was on (yet another) vacation.

Barack Obama — even now, after what many believe was his continued influence in the former Biden White House — has decided to posture himself as a defender of free speech. He recently warned that “the current administration has taken cancel culture to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.” Spare us the lecture.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Pious Death Spiral
10 replies
Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC feels less like censorship than comeuppance. The comedian who once built his reputation on gleeful political incorrectness now finds himself hoisted by his own progressive petard, pulled off air after suggestingCharlie Kirk’s alleged killer was a Trump supporter rather than what he actually appears to be — a far-left fanatic with a taste for blood. Don’t confuse this for another cancel culture moment. It’s the predictable end of a peculiar American transformation.
