Jimmy Kimmel’s Pious Death Spiral

Original Article

Posted By: JoElla Bee, 9/20/2025 5:48:16 PM

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.

Going way back, the man who made this insufferable d#@k was the great Ben Stein. Little Jimmy was actually funny on “ Win Ben Stein’s Money”. Nothing remotely humorous about him now. Goodbye

How much better both Colbert and Kimmel would look if they'd behaved with dignity and professionalism. Too late now.

There is not much of an audience for an hour of ''orange man bad'' interrupted every few minutes by annoying commercials. Put Star Trek reruns in his timeslot.

One thing to note, Jimmy Kimmel has a net worth of $50 million. It's amazing that being a vacuous jerk pays so well.

What Kimmel was doing was a version of yelling FIRE in a movie theater. When has that ever been excepted as free speech. If someone yell's "Kill baby Hitler" all the time, eventually someone is going to follow Kimmel and the liberal party's command. Late night "comedy" probably killed Charlie Kirk.

I'm pretty sure that Kimmel's show was losing as much if not more $$$ than Colbert. What is going to end his show is that the affiliates in "flyover" country aren't able to sell ads to the local Ford dealer or the mattress store for Kimmel's show. And they are much less open to losing money.

He's already threatened to move to Canada so he'll come out of this just fine. Assuming he knows about Canada's speech intolerance, and their access to personal bank accounts, and their immunization protocols.

Thousands of air passengers faced chaos yesterday after hundreds of flights were delayed at Heathrow as a suspected cyber-attack crippled its electronic check-in and boarding facilities. The same strike left Brussels airport paralysed yesterday, with half of all flights being cancelled. There were also disruptions at Berlin, Dublin and Cork – and there are warnings the turmoil could continue for days. As the National Cyber Security Centre – the public-facing arm of GCHQ – launched an investigation last night, experts blamed groups linked to Russia.

Political change mimics a supertanker in its inertia. Turning direction proceeds imperceptibly at first. Then advances sporadically, punctuated by specific accelerating events. Progress in the new direction proceeds over decades, interspersed by backsliding episodes.  Glenn Reynolds examines the operative political dynamic. The Left’s “strategy has consisted of using bullying and propaganda to convince 80% of the population that the views of 20% of the population are in the majority.” Mass gaslighting is ancient.[snip] America’s current gaslighting episode originated against McCarthyism, accelerating ever since.

Attorneys for Luigi Mangione asked a federal judge Saturday to dismiss charges against him, arguing that state and federal officials violated his constitutional rights and damaged his chances for a fair trial. Mangione is accused of killing Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in December 2024. The high-profile assassination drew national attention in the days after Thompson’s death. Earlier this week, a New York state judge dropped two terrorism-related charges against Mangione.[snip] His defense team is also asking the court to remove the death penalty as an option.

Obama Is a Soulless Fraud 17 replies

Barack Obama is such a soulless fraud. He’s spent the last week trying to downplay the significance of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. First, he pretended that the motive behind Charlie’s murder was impossible to ascertain. Then he blamed President Trump for welcoming “extremism” into the White House. Finally, he insinuated that Charlie was a racist and at least partially responsible for his own death. As always, America’s foremost “divider in chief” excels at rubbing salt in gaping wounds. The Soros network of NGOs must have recently sent out marching orders instructing Democrats to speak favorably of Obama’s presidency because every prominent Donkey Party politician has tried to rewrite Obama’s divisive reign

If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans to run for president in 2028, she’s just made the biggest mistake of her political career. That speech of hers will be written in ink, and it will haunt her for years to come. Why? Because she didn’t know the first thing about Charlie Kirk, and everyone who watched her give that speech knows she’s either ignorant or lying. We know that on the Left, they do not believe in any kind of presumption of innocence when it comes to words. Words are harm. Words are violence. Most of all, words define who you are.

Does California Governor Gavin Newsom want his state to remain a part of our federal union? Newsom does not like our president. The fact that Donald Trump is a member of the opposing party is immaterial to the governor's critique of the United States federal government. Newsom doesn't like to be told how to run his far-left-wing, kooky, dystopian nightmare of a state. In fact, Newsom rejects any effort Washington makes to exert control over federal policy in California. It's not just immigration enforcement. Newsom has been resisting federal rules on auto emissions, Clean Air Act waivers, and the removal of EV mandates.

A number of show business, news media, and political personages have proclaimed vile comments, cheering the murder of Christian conservative Charlie Kirk. So, too, have entertainment-industry has-beens who grab for modern relevance. None will be named by this writer, who doesn’t wish to aid miserable lost souls’ quests. I believe there are at least two reasons some celebrities acquit themselves so despicably. First, unfortunately, a hatred market exists. Just as there are garbage-hearted people with wallets, there breathe conscienceless graspers with big eyes. Whether someone is selling a candidacy, a movie ticket, a TV program, a recording, or any other commodity, market cultivation is surely a consideration.

Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established. Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, joining nearly 150 countries that have already done so,
