Bad people, the kind you don't want in your life. Anyone who is celebrating Charlie Kirk's death needs to enter decent humanity's spiritual solitary confinement cell and stay there forever. If I met one of these, bloviating leftism and anti-Christianity, I'd have to exercise superhuman control to keep from knocking him into next week with an elbow to the chin.

FTA, the very last sentence - "At the end of the day, though, I think the principal explanation of why so many Democrats applauded Charlie Kirk’s murder is that a great many liberals are horrible people." And the dim party wonders why it is circling the drain.

FTA: the idea that we define ourselves by what we publicly affirm—having those beliefs challenged constitutes a form of “emotional harm.” That's how believing the traditional definition of marriage is "hateful" towards gays. And they don't see the hypocrisy of crying foul when traditionalists re-assert our beliefs against their attacks.

No doubt they wave the “Hate has no home here!” flags and signs in their yards and vehicle bumpers. Their mentality is shockingly simple, one of the most infamous of Marx’s maxims: “the end justifies the means.” Simple and simply evil. The same evil we see through history in a single murder as in mass murders. “Pleased to meet you! Can you guess my name?” Stupid politicians think they can use the haters to satisfy their greed for power, however they only have the tiger by its tail. Sooner or later they will be devoured, too. Right now it is obvious that the Dem/Left Party has no moral grounding to speak of, no courage, no virtue, with only a couple of notable exceptions, but otherwise it’s a bunch of cringing, obsequious, spineless nincompoops, sinking faster and deeper into the pit of evil.

Former Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre unleashed on the Democratic Party in an excerpt from her new memoir, explaining why she decided to become an independent after years as a party flack. In the excerpt, Jean-Pierre detailed the phone call in which then-President Joe Biden told the White House team that he was dropping out of the race, Newsweek reported. "Biden seemed to be totally at peace with his decision, but I was stunned, my feelings a blur. I was angry and sad.

Actor John Cusack delivered a fiery message to President Donald Trump during a CNN interview Saturday at Chicago's "No Kings" rally, telling the president to "go to hell" over the deployment of Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to his beloved hometown. Speaking at one of over 2,600 coordinated demonstrations taking place across the United States and internationally, Cusack criticized what he characterized as Trump's use of "masked goons" conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago. The High Fidelity star's comments have circulated widely on social media as part of a broader wave of organized opposition to the Trump administration's policies

n September 10, by one bullet, the world was changed. Charlie Kirk, a fierce advocate for Judeo-Christian values and traditional American principles, was assassinated. His death didn’t just silence one of the century’s most influential voices—it shattered a family and exposed a growing rift in America’s moral fabric. While a strong segment of the American population was naturally shocked by the gruesome death of a Christian martyr, we also witnessed troubling jubilation from students and even teachers at institutions of learning across America. Even here in Texas, we saw students celebrating the assassination of a strong man who stood firmly for biblical values and traditional American principles.

Every time you think Democrats have hit bottom, that they couldn’t go any lower, one of them breaks out a shovel. Yesterday was the “No Showers,” I mean, “No Kings” rally. A bunch of unlovable mutants took time away from cyber-stalking the OnlyFans people they subscribe to and got a little free vitamin D from the sun to fight off the onset of rickets. For the first time in a few years, major liberal cities across the country shifted from smelling like pot and tear gas to smelling like body odor and tear gas…and pot, because that’s how liberals roll.

A gang of brazen thieves dropped the priceless Eugénie Crown outside the Louvre in Paris during a jaw-dropping daylight heist of the world's most visited museum. The group of criminals swiped priceless items, including a necklace and a brooch once belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, in broad daylight, forcing the tourist attraction to shut its doors. The raid, which took place at around 9.30am on Sunday, saw the thieves brazenly break into the art museum, which is also home to the Mona Lisa, by propping a huge freight elevator up against its walls, according to an investigating source. The group of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived on scooters, masking their

Yesterday we learned from a story published by CNN's Andrew Kaczynski that Maine's progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner had identified himself as a communist in Reddit messages under his handle P-Hustle. In addition, Platner also said that all cops are bastards and that white people are racist and stupid. In another since-removed post from 2020, Platner responded to a thread titled “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks” by writing, “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.” And these comments weren't very old. Most were from 2020 and 2021, just a few years ago. Platner was asked to respond and assured CNN that

The New Georgia Project was a voter registration and turnout organization founded by Stacey Abrams back in 2013. In theory it was a non-partisan group but in practice it was there to help Democrats win elections by bringing more Black and Latino voters to the polls. But now the group has announced that it will dissolve and will cease to operate this week. Once one of the most influential political groups in the South, the New Georgia Project is shutting down this week, marking a stunning fall for an organization that pushed to advance Democratic causes for more than a decade.

Jack Smith may have thought he was untouchable when he led the Biden administration's legal crusade against Donald Trump, but Republican lawmakers are now making it clear that his alleged abuses won't go unanswered. On Friday, Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, joined by a coalition of Republican senators and one congressman, sent a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi referring the former special counsel to the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility and two state bar associations for investigation. The charge? Professional misconduct that is serious enough to warrant potential disbarment. “As part of Jack Smith’s weaponized witch hunt, the Biden DOJ issued subpoenas

Heather Mac Donald optimistically declares “The end of the race hustle.” Heather’s article is long, and data-rich. I recommend reading it all. She credits President Trump with being uncowed by the Left’s accusations of racism, and offers hope that race-baiting no longer works: For decades, pointing out that any action, public or private, had a black target or fell disproportionately on black people was sufficient to discredit that action, regardless of whether it was couched in terms of race or had a racist intent. Want to fire an employee? Good luck if that employee is black; such a dismissal would be presumptively racist. Tempted to criticize a government official for

The big news of the week, of course, was President Trump’s diplomatic/military triumph in obtaining an end to fighting in Gaza and the return of Hamas’s hostages to Israel. It was a moment that anyone would celebrate–anyone but a liberal, that is. The same people who organized demonstrations around the world demanding a cease fire were oddly silent when they got their wish. In other news, peace may be breaking out in Ukraine, too. Once again, the prospect of peace has something to do with Trump’s persuasive powers, and more to do with Tomahawk missiles. Meanwhile, the Democrats have not been idle.

Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

Judicial tyranny continues. A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order. The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.

A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech. You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all.

Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies. MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but. These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al). The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.

Nelson announced Monday that her office compared the state’s voter registration list against citizenship data in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database and discovered 2,724 potential noncitizens who are registered to vote. The SAVE database allows local, state, and federal government agencies to verify an individual’s immigration status. The Trump administration granted states free and direct access to the database, according to Nelson.
