Marco Rubio's State Department Begins Cancelling the Visas of Violent Foreigners Who Cheered the Assassination of Charlie Kirk
—Ace
The State Department announced Tuesday that six foreign nationals have had their U.S. visas revoked after making vile social media posts mocking the assassination of Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk. Officials said the individuals -- from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and Paraguay -- made "deeply offensive" remarks celebrating Kirk's death and warned that further action may be taken."The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk," the agency wrote on X. "@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America's hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed."
The department shared screenshots of each post followed by the blunt phrase "Visa revoked." One Argentinian user called Kirk "racist" and "xenophobic," while a South African national mocked mourning Americans, writing that "the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom." A Mexican poster went further, saying, "There are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead." The others included a German who wrote, "When fascists die, democrats don't complain," and a Brazilian who said Kirk "DIED TOO LATE." A Paraguayan commenter labeled him "a son of a b*tch."

NBC Lays Off 150 "Journalists," Sacking Its Black, Latinx, and Gay DEI Unites "NBC BLK," "NBC Latino," and "NBC OUT"
—Ace
Racist homophobic NBC has officially joined MAGA.
They're slashing their payrolls in anticipation of spinning off basket-case MSNBC from also basket-case NBC "News." Also, they hate blacks and gays. Anytime you take an action adverse to the interests of any blacks or gays that means you're acting out of "hate," right? Right?
NBC News eliminated its teams dedicated to covering issues affecting Black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ groups as part of its layoffs of about 150 staffers on Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the matter, a significant culling as the Peacock network separates from its sister news network, MSNBC.The cuts mean that the verticals NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT will no longer have dedicated teams bolstering their coverage. The verticals will continue to publish stories related to the specific groups and NBC News may ultimately retain up to five staffers who will contribute coverage on the verticals to the newsroom, according to one source, as the dedicated teams focused exclusively on these verticals are sunset.
The total reductions, which affected NBC News' entire news operation, make up about 7% of NBC News' newsroom of about 2,000 staffers and 2% of the wider NBCU News Group, which includes Telemundo and the network's owned-and-operated local news stations. The cuts did not target specific teams and were driven by the network's budget and the desire to streamline its editorial efforts, according to one source.
...
The job losses came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations, as MSNBC has moved under the spun-off company Versant....
The layoffs also reflect the media industry's larger retreat from efforts focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain, removed mentions of diversity from its website in April and said it would stop publishing demographic data on its website. Disney also rebranded its internal DEI efforts last week to "Opportunity & Inclusion," according to Puck.MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of talent from NBC News, the Washington Post, Politico and others as it builds its newsgathering operation. It plans to launch its rebranded image -- including its new name, MS NOW -- in the coming weeks.
LOL, sure.
CBS will also be laying off "journalists" soon:

Significant layoffs underway today at NBC News... big round of layoffs coming this quarter at CBS News...
Bonus: All of you guys who paid for a lifetime subscription to CNN Plus are going to be psyched about this -- CNN's about to launch its next failed streaming service.

New: CNN’s new streaming service launches on Oct. 28, per internal meeting
I don't know about you, but the thing I miss most about cutting the cord is Jake Tapper's Enormous Honker. If I could see that big sneering nose and hear it honking like a flock of Canadian geese again, I'd just be ever so happy.
Speaking of failed network CNN: David Ellison has been looking to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and thus CNN, as part of his spending spree to become an absolute media magnate. I don't know why they would even want the debt-plagued WBD. I sure as hell don't know why they'd want CNN.
Paramount made its offer to WBD, and the offer was refused. They're now preparing a bigger offer.
Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ:PSKY) is preparing a second bid for Warner Bros. Discovery after its initial bid was rejected, according to a Los Angeles Times report on Sunday, which cited a person familiar with the matter. Warner Bros. Discovery shares rose 3.6%.Billionaire Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison has agreed to help finance an offer from Paramount Skydance, which is run by his son David Ellison, according to the report.
The update comes after Bloomberg reported on Sunday that Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) initially rejected Paramount Skydance's (NASDAQ:PSKY) bid for roughly $20 a share in recent weeks.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is said to want upwards of $30 a share in a deal, according to a NYPost report on Monday.
I just don't know why you'd want another movie studio when you already own two (Paramount and Skydance). Warner Bros. is on a winning streak this year with a bunch of hits, but so what? The movie business is entirely hit-and-miss and cyclical.
Supreme Court Might (or Might Not) Scrap the Democrat Extremist Doctrine of Court-Mandated Explicitly-Racist Gerrymandering
—Ace
Back in the 80s, if I remember right, left-wing extremists began demanding that section 2 of the Voting Rights Act be read to require explicitly race-based gerrymandering to create majority-minority districts.
These majority-minority districts just so happened to be Democrat-supermajority districts, and this imposition was placed on the states of the old Confederacy, which just so happen to be Republican states.
Left-wing judges agreed with this idea, naturally, and began demanding that red states gerrymander their congressional districts to always guarantee Democrats of 3-4 bonus seats that they would never, ever have in a normal partisan gerrymander. While the blue states worked relentlessly to eliminate all Republican-leaning districts, or to pack all Republicans into just one or two districts to make sure every other district was Democrat-majority, Republicans have been forced by left-wing judges to always carve out special Democrats-Only districts.
The state of Louisiana just carved out not one but two strangely-shaped districts to make two seats that only Democrats (specifically, black Democrats) could win. Louisiana citizens sued, claiming -- correctly -- that these districts were drawn on racist grounds and therefore were a violation of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in this case yesterday, and the liberal media is worried that the Supreme Court may remove the apparently-permanent demand that Republican states always carve out DEI districts for Democrats.
I'm less excited, myself. I do not believe that Roberts and the disastrous Amy Coney-Barrett will take the "controversial" step of upholding the Constitution's demand of racial blindness and equality.
The Supreme Court's conservative majority appears to be on the verge of weakening the Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights era law that protects racial minorities' voting power.
Note the way that put that -- it protects minorities' voting power. Not their votes -- they can vote, could vote, and will continue to vote.
No, this section has been re-interpreted to mean not just that their votes are protected, but that they are guaranteed to win by racially-gerrymandering districts that racial minority Democrats just can't lose under any circumstances.
During oral arguments Wednesday in Louisiana v. Callais, several conservative justices signaled outright hostility toward the longstanding interpretation of Section 2 of the 1965 law -- which broadly prohibits discrimination in voting practices on the basis of race or creed.Decades of legal precedents have, in practice, directed states and federal courts to ensure that legislative district maps contain some districts where minority voters make up at least half the population. The rationale is to prevent "dilution" of minorities' voting power and ensure that communities of Black, Latino or Asian voters can elect their preferred candidates.
But Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch appeared inclined to bar virtually any use of race in redistricting. They suggested that race-conscious district lines might be unconstitutional.
And Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose vote will likely be pivotal in the case, repeatedly suggested that race-based remedies under the Voting Rights Act should be permitted only "for a limited period of time."
"They should have an end point," Kavanaugh said during the oral arguments, which stretched for about two and a half hours.
Kavanaugh's desire for a time limit resembled the Supreme Court's treatment of affirmative action in higher education. Two years ago, the six-justice conservative majority overturned decades of prior precedents and struck down race-conscious admissions policies, in part because the court found that racial dynamics in society have evolved.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the other key votes, asked questions of both sides but were harder to read.
I can read them. They're cowards who crave establishment approval.
Meanwhile, as usual, there is absolutely no question which way the "independent" liberals are voting.
...Many observers were closely watching Roberts. The chief justice has often voted to curtail the Voting Rights Act in other contexts, including in a landmark 2013 decision that he authored. But in a 2023 case out of Alabama, Roberts (and Kavanaugh) combined with the liberal justices to maintain Section 2 of the law.
...
Gorsuch, for his part, sent a strong signal about how he views the use of race in drawing district maps, even when the stated purpose of using race is to remedy prior discrimination. That practice, Gorsuch said repeatedly, amounts to "intentional" racial discrimination.
As I said, I expect Roberts and Coney-Barrett to side, as usual, with the liberals. I also think that Kavanaugh is weak (and frankly, I wish we'd abandoned him when he was falsely accused of rape) and I expect him to join the liberals as well, though with the proviso that Seriously You Guys, At Some Unspecified Date Decades in the Future, You Must Stop Discriminating Against Whites Like the Constitution Requires, But It's Okay for Now Because It's Not Permanent.
Still, I suppose it's possible they strike down this particular erroneous judge-made rule.
The left is freaking out because, all told, this explicitly-racist practice of the courts has granted the Democrats nineteen guaranteed congressional districts in the red states that they will lose if the Supreme Court scraps the practice.
And I mean "possibly lose in the next year" -- Ron DeSantis, for example, has promised he will immediately began drawing up a new congressional map for Florida the moment the Supreme Court allows him to.
Democratic voting rights groups are preparing for a nightmare scenario if the Supreme Court guts a key part of the landmark civil rights-era legislation, the Voting Rights Act -- a very real possibility this term.Ahead of the court's Oct. 15 rehearing of Louisiana v. Callais -- a case that has major implications for the VRA -- two voting rights groups are sounding the alarm, warning that eliminating Section 2, a provision that prohibits racial gerrymandering when it dilutes minority voting power, would let Republicans redraw up to 19 House seats to favor the party and crush minority representation in Congress.
That calculation, made in a new report from Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund shared exclusively with POLITICO, would all but guarantee Republican control of Congress.
While a ruling in time for next year's midterms is unlikely, the organizations behind the report said that it's not out of the question. Taken together, the groups identified 27 total seats that Republicans could redistrict in their favor ahead of the midterms -- 19 of which stem from Section 2 being overturned.
Doing so would "clear the path for a one-party system where power serves the powerful and silences the people," Black Voters Matter Fund co-founder LaTosha Brown said in a statement.
LaTosha, you keep talking that sexy talk.
Without Section 2, up to 30 percent of the Congressional Black Caucus and 11 percent of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus could be drawn out of their seats, according to the report.

The Morning Rant
—Misanthropic Humanitarian
[Charles is unavailable this morning. Go ahead, Rant.]
Lately I've been wrapped up in personal and family issues. Some wonderful. Some not. And over the past two weeks I haven't paid much attention to current events. But something caught my attention as would walking into a wall.
I'm not an attorney, never played one on TV but I have worked with and worked for attorneys. Oh they are an interesting lot. I'm not sure I would go as far as William Shakespeare and call for their demise.
Most of the attorneys I've met I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on them if they were on fire. And I'm betting my next Social Security check (which is still coming during the government shutdown) I wouldn't and neither would you if you saw Bill Clinton appointed San Francisco district judge Susan Yvonne Illston on flames.
(Standing vs. Judge shopping is a Rant for another time)
I wouldn't bet against someone crossing the street and adding fuel to the fire.
After 2020 I became as my father would say, "Sick and tired" of the judicial decisions made based upon"Standing". Well, unless I suck at geography San Francisco is on the other side of the country from Washington D.C. yet a Californian judge who know one ever heard of has stopped President Trump. (Again, temporarily)
The Federal Employees who are so vital to this nation's survival need to retain their positions. Without them we would all suffer horribly per this maven of jurisprudence.
You see, us stupid knuckle dragging, mouth breathing Wal-Mart shopping people understand that law is based upon rules and precedents.
It is quite apparent we (and the duly elected POTUS) lack the clear moral superiority when it comes to math, money and employees.
Federal judge Susan Illston on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from firing workers during the government shutdown - ruling that she believes the evidence would ultimately show that the firings were illegal and in excess of authority.Federal agencies began issuing layoff notices on Friday aimed at reducing the size of the federal government and pressure Democratic lawmakers while the government shutdown continues.
According to Illston, the administration has been acting without thinking things through.
"It's very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost," she said, adding "It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated."
There is a human cost to every facet of life. And Judge Resting Bitch Face a majority of people and the electoral college voted that those human costs are not only tolerable but encouraged.
But then again she is a west coast elite who rules on emotion rather than fact. And that is why she will be overruled shortly, because she can't understand normal thinking.
The Morning Report — 10/16/25
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. The Trump-engineered Gaza ceasefire has pretty much garnered most of the attention over the past few days, for obvious reasons. And the Muslims of Gaza (and everywhere) being who and what they are, tried to pawn off some anonymous corpse as an Israeli hostage that they butchered some time over the past two years and in return were rewarded with about 1,000 prisoners held by Israel, a large percentage of them full on fanatical freaks with the blood of their innocent victims still dripping from their fangs and claws. And of course, they also wasted little time in slaughtering their own political rivals so that their stranglehold on power remains. The blessed freedom of the innocent abused hostages notwithstanding, as well as President Trump's honest if not Pollyanna-ish desire to try to bring about peace to the region, to me the deal stinks given the history and nature of Islam. Maybe one day 1.5 billion Muslims will whack themselves hard enough in the head with their Korans to actually knock sense into them or not!
So, moving on from Gaza to a couple of items here in the US of A. First up, am I misinterpreting this, or did Los Angeles County de facto secede from the Union?!
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a declaration to proclaim a state of emergency over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arresting illegal aliens in the sanctuary jurisdiction.
And what do these imbeciles plan on doing, ordering the County Sheriffs to form battle lines and open fire on ICE agents? Somewhere out in the ether, you can hear the sound of Chief Lone Waddie snickering at this idiocy of declaring war on the Union.
Endeavor to Persevere is now Enrage, Prance and Smear
In all seriousness, is this all just bluster in an attempt to get President Trump to do something that would actually inflame the Democrat official/unofficial black bloc brownshirts of Antifa, BLM et al to open fire on ICE (heh), thus creating another myth like George Floyd and the Pelosi/Brennan/Comey engineered J6 false flag Reichstag weenie roast that they can use to rally their base if not seize power locally if not nationally and milk to death as agitprop for the next 200 years.
And speaking of that shambling bag of botox, gin and ill-gotten gain, Malig-Nancy Pelosi . .
The United States Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in Louisiana v. Callais, a potential landmark Voting Rights Act (VRA) case. Louisiana claims that its forced compliance with Section 2 of the VRA—a permanent, nationwide provision that bans voting practices or procedures that discriminate based on race, color, or language minority status—by federal courts resulting in a remedial congressional map is unconstitutional under the 14th and 15th Amendments.Black voters and Democratic Party-aligned advocacy groups contend that a 2022 congressional map unlawfully dilutes black voting power by packing most black voters into one district (the 2nd Congressional District) while spreading the rest thinly across others, failing to create a second majority-minority district in the state where black residents comprise about 33 percent of the population. A three-judge federal panel agreed, ruling the map violated the VRA and the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, and ordered a remedial map that created a second black-majority district—which critics argue lacks cogerence because of the geographic distribution of black voters.Louisiana argues that the three-judge appellate panel’s order to create a second majority-minority district is forcing the state to engage in intentional stereotyping and race-based gerrymandering. Further, Louisiana contends that a race-based remedy should only be in response to intentional race-based discrimination.
During his line of questioning, Gorsuch probed NAACP Legal Defense Fund lawyer Janai Nelson — who argued in favor of a second majority-black district in Louisiana — about whether she believes “a plaintiff in a Section 2 [Voting Rights Act] case has to come up with a map where race isn’t the predominant factor in the map, or is it OK for a federal court to use a map, on the remedial side, that intentionally discriminates on the basis of race?”. . . The Trump appointee noted how “sometimes federal district courts order maps” and that it appears that what Nelson is arguing is that it’s “sometimes [it is] acceptable for a federal district court to order a map that intentionally discriminates on the basis of race.” In disagreeing with the justice’s “formulation,” Nelson argued that “states and plaintiffs, as they put forth illustrative maps, cannot put forth maps that discriminate and that use race in an excessive fashion.” “The only actor that has broader leeway,” she continued, “are states because we give states breathing room” and “wide latitude in order to balance their political interests and concerns.”
If you read the entirety of the exchange, Gorsuch did indeed make her step on a rake.
Jackson proposed that these racially drawn district lines may not be unconstitutional, because black people are basically equivalent to the disabled.
In her case, she's an inept mental midget as well as a political hack with a worldview and attitude perfectly in keeping with the racialism for power and profit of the political party and movement that put her ancestors in literal chains and continues to enslave her ilk in economic and cultural shackles that have decimated black people in the country literally and figuratively for over 200 years.
On that note, there's this item that caught my attention:
Minneapolis Public Schools Prohibit White and Asian Students From Taking Classes on ‘BLACK Culture’ and ‘BLACK Queens’ . . . ‘It is extremely hard to imagine how this could possibly be legal,’ civil rights attorney says
My reaction to this, all things considered, And given the state of black culture, that gave rise to the likes of Al Sharpton, Trayvon Martin, Ibram X. Krement, Spike Lee, Joy Reid and on and on and on – So if White and Asian kids won't be exposed to vile retrograde degeneracy. I'd say that's a net positive!!! Too bad black kids will continue to be exposed to it.
And with that . . .
Have a good day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Top Story- Apple has announced its new M5 chip - it's one more than the M4 - and new models of the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro. (Tech Crunch)
Vision Pro? Really? They're still trying to push their $3500 paperweight?
Anyway, the M5 has 10 CPU cores - four fast cores and six slower ones - and 10 GPU cores, compared with the M4, which has 10 CPU cores - four fast cores and six slower ones - and 10 GPU cores.
Uh.
It's supposed to be about 15% faster. So that's exciting.
Also there are no 8GB RAM options or 256GB SSD options in the new MacBook Pro lineup, and about bleedin' time.
Apart from that it's the usual from Apple: Base model is not wildly overpriced, but memory and storage options whack you with a 1000% markup.

What are the Clintons hiding?Bill and Hillary Clinton were supposed to sit down with the House Oversight Committee and answer some long-overdue questions about their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Funny thing, though -- they didn't show up.
AdvertisementAnd now nobody seems to know when they will.
Hillary was supposed to testify on Oct. 9. She skipped it. Bill was set to testify on Oct. 14. That got postponed, too. The committee says it's working with the Clintons' attorney to accommodate their schedules, which is a polite way of saying the power couple is stalling.
These depositions are part of a much larger inquiry into how the federal government fumbled the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. House Oversight Chairman James Comer issued subpoenas back in early August, demanding answers about potential lapses at the Justice Department.
Hamas is slaughtering Palestinians but the rule remains in place: No Jews, No News.
Hamas has carried out a mass execution in the streets of Gaza as part of a series of bloody reprisals following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from key urban areas.Footage has emerged appearing to show around eight kneeling, blindfolded men, bearing signs of beatings, being shot dead in front of a crowd.
The Palestinian terror group, although still capable of inflicting casualties on the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), had largely been overwhelmed on the battlefield.
But since the IDF's withdrawal from Gaza's cities, under the framework of the Trump peace plan, Hamas has quickly reasserted its presence and is seeking to re-establish control.
This has involved targeting "clans", the non-Hamas-aligned family-based armed groups that gained strength during the later stages of the conflict.
The violent scenes will fuel fears disarming Hamas, the key next phase in Donald Trump's plan, will not be straightforward.
Trump is threatening Hamas to disarm or die, but I don't think they believe that threat.
President Trump warned Tuesday that Hamas will either follow through on its pledge to disarm under his 20-point Gaza peace plan or meet a violent end. "They're going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm--and if they don't, we will disarm them," Trump told reporters while hosting Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House. "They know I'm not playing games."The president said Hamas had "misrepresented" how many bodies of deceased hostages it held after turning over just four on Monday. "If they don't disarm, we will disarm them--and it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently," he said before a Cabinet Room luncheon. Trump explained that he had conveyed the warning to Hamas through emissaries, adding, "They told me, 'Yes, sir, we're going to disarm.' They will disarm or we will disarm them. Got it?"
Obviously US troops aren't going in to Gaza, so I don't know what he's actually saying the punishment would be.
Update: What Trump probably means is just that if (WHEN) Hamas again refuses to honor the terms of the ceasefire, Trump will just give the go-ahead to the IDF to take out the trash.
Meanwhile, the antisemitic Hollywood Jew-hater club is boycotting "Israelis" to stop the "genocide." Now that the "genocide" has ended, you might think that the boycott would, logically, end.
Nope! From the River to the Sea, the terrorists of Hamas will reign free!
What do you do when you demand a ceasefire -- and Donald Trump actually gets one? If you're a normal human being with a decent moral compass, you celebrate the freedom of 20 hostages, the pause in an armed conflict, and at least stop punishing one of the parties to the conflict.Of course, if you demanded a ceasefire but really wanted something else, you have to recalculate your professed goals while still demanding capitulation. That's the position that 5,000 celebrities and other Hollywood elites face, now that the "ceasefire" failed to become "the destruction of Israel" and the death of the Joooos. The Hollywood Reporter checked in on the Tinseltown blacklist of Jewish filmmakers, and discovered that it will continue even with the ceasefire these blacklisters demanded:
Since its launch in September, the Film Workers for Palestine (FWP) campaign has attracted more than 5,000 signatories, including actors and directors such as Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Yorgos Lanthimos, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton and Ayo Edebiri, who have pledged not to work with Israeli film institutions "implicated in genocide and apartheid." Supporters say the boycott is a form of nonviolent protest and not discriminatory because it targets institutions, not individuals....
Film Workers for Palestine, at least, has no plans to stop its campaign. "We share in the relief of Palestinians in Gaza that Israel's relentless slaughter may be coming to an end," a FWP spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter, responding via email. "However, its genocide continues, since Israel has systematically destroyed the necessary conditions for sustaining life. Hospitals, basic services, water treatment and food production have been utterly decimated, which means the genocide will not end with a ceasefire, nor does this ceasefire bring about justice or accountability."
So what do they want? "From the river to the sea," clearly:
The boycott, the spokesperson added, "would only cease to be relevant once Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine has been dismantled and the necessary conditions to sustain life have been restored, as required by international law."In other words, they don't want a ceasefire. They want Hamas to conquer Israel.
Yes, when Muslims say they want "peace," they always mean the same thing: They want the "peace" that follows after the unbelievers are conquered and brought into the Dar-al-Islam, the "house of peace," the domination by Muslim warlords.
Meta (FaceBook) was only too happy to deactivate conservatives' accounts for spreading "election misinformation."
But only after a year are they finally shutting down the ICE doxxing accounts.
Meta has shut down a large Facebook group that was being used to dox and target U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago, following intervention by the Justice Department. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the removal Tuesday on X, writing that "following outreach from the Department of Justice, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target ICE agents in Chicago." Bondi added that the takedown was part of a broader effort to combat online movements that have incited violence against federal law enforcement.A Meta spokesperson confirmed the removal to Breitbart News, saying the group was taken down for violating company policies against "coordinated harm." Meta's "Coordinating Harm" policy prohibits content that exposes the personal information or identities of individuals performing official duties, including law enforcement, military, or undercover agents. The policy specifically bars posts revealing an officer's name, photo, badge, or details of their operations, as well as any coordination of or threats involving "swatting" or similar harassment.
The Rutgers University professor who wrote The Anti-Fascist Handbook has fled the country.
A professor at Rutger's University in New Brunswick, New Jersey nicknamed "Dr. Antifa" has announced he is relocating to Europe after a student-led petition called for his firing and a series of threats targeted his home.Mark Bray, an assistant teaching professor and author of "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook," told students he would move his classes online "for safety reasons," according to Fox News.
"My situation has gotten worse recently," Bray wrote in an email. "I received another death threat and a separate threat that included my home address. The University and the authorities have been notified."
The decision follows a petition launched by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, which called his employment "a threat to conservative students."
"We, the students of Rutgers University, are deeply concerned to learn that an outspoken, well-known antifa member, Dr. Mark Bray, is employed by the university," the petition begins.
"With the current trend of left-wing terrorism, having a prominent leader of the antifa movement on campus is a threat to conservative students on campus," the petition continues. "Dr. Bray has regularly referred to mainstream conservative figures such as Bill O'reilly [sic] as fascist while he calls for militant actions to be taken against these individuals."
According to his profile on the Rutgers website, Bray has previously taught classes on anti-fascism, anarchism, communism, and terrorism.
Bray's "Anti-Fascist Handbook" traces the global history of "anti-fascism" from its roots opposing Mussolini and Hitler to its alleged resurgence against the "alt-right."

Another Surprise: The Grifter Who Traded Defense Stocks While Serving on the House Armed Services Committee and Who Cheated at Annapolis Turns Out to be Taking Money from a Chinese Communist Party Agent, Too
—Ace
A perfect Democrat candidate for governor in the corrupt state of New Jersey.
Just so you know: Commenters asked why we're talking about the NJ and Virginia races now. Well, remember, those races occur off-cycle -- in three weeks, to be precise. These are live elections that will be decided on November 3rd or whatever.
A Chinese auto executive and an active member of the Chinese Communist Party donated over $65,000 to New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill's campaign, according to state campaign finance disclosures. Those donations may very well be illegal: The law bans foreign nationals from donating to U.S. political campaigns.The executive, Pin Ni, leads the U.S. subsidiary of the Hangzhou, China-based automotive and industrial powerhouse Wanxiang Group. He wrote two checks in the amount of $30,000 in February and July, respectively, to the super PAC supporting Sherrill's campaign. In June, Ni made a maximum contribution of $5,800 directly to Sherrill's campaign.
The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits foreign nationals from donating to state and federal political campaigns, and Chinese law prohibits CCP members from holding foreign citizenship.
Ni's donations, which were reported in filings with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission this week, make him one of the top contributors to Sherrill's election effort and represent the only donations he has made in New Jersey.
Ni has been very active in federal elections in recent years. Since 2020, he has made 152 contributions worth more than $1 million, the majority of which have benefited Democrats, according to Federal Election Commission data. The two largest recipients of his political contributions are the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Biden Victory Fund.
He has also given tens of thousands of dollars to members of the House Select Committee on the CCP, including Sherrill. For example, Ni has donated $92,500 to Rep.

Meanwhile, the Ugandan Muslim Communist Hamas-Supporting Terrorist Zohran Mamdani is a funder of the Hamas support organization UNRWA.
Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani fundraised for an infamous United Nations relief agency with well-documented ties to Hamas over the weekend -- drawing outrage from Republican North Country Rep. Elise Stefanik. ...Mamdani had proudly posted an image of himself running the "New York City Gaza 5K" to raise money for the notorious UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on Sunday.
The Big Apple mayoral frontrunner billed UNRWA as a benevolent organization that "delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza."
Zohran Mamdani was just chased out of a NYC park and branded a dirty foreign Jew-hating antisemite.
A protester chased Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani out of a downtown Manhattan park Friday, shouting "antisemite" as security rushed him into his car.The confrontation at Foley Square turned heated when the irate man followed Mamdani and demanded he denounce Hezbollah and Sharia, according to a video on X. Security personnel intervened to escort the candidate away from the scene.
The incident comes as Mamdani faces growing scrutiny over his campaign funding sources. The political newcomer has raised close to $16 million, far outpacing his opponents in private donations, the New York Post reported.
With $5 million cash on hand, he has built a substantial war chest heading into November's general election.
New York City's public financing system matches local contributions up to eight times the first $250, amplifying small-dollar donors. Mamdani has received contributions from controversial organizations and individuals, according to reports.
Five staff members from the Islamic Circle of North America contributed $1,300 to his campaign, generating $7,700 in total funds through matching. The Council on American-Islamic Relations donated $100,000 to a Mamdani-aligned political action committee, the outlet reported.
College and university workers provided more than 2,000 individual donations to the candidate. New York academics at various institutions contributed just over $105,000, or up to $690,000 when boosted by matching funds.
Mamdani has refused to condemn calls for violence against Israel. He used this week's Oct. 7 anniversary to accuse Israel of "genocide."
The candidate's supporters reject accusations of extremism. Vox recently described Mamdani's agenda as "not-so-radical," portraying him as a neighborhood activist and champion of the working class.
Mamdani is following the Obama playbook to the letter: He just got caught taking over $13,000 in illegal donations from foreigners.
New York City's leading mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, raised nearly $13,000 from donors with addresses outside the United States, a Fox News review of New York City Campaign Finance records show -- raising questions about campaign compliance and transparency.As of Oct. 3, at least 170 of the nearly 54,000 contributions to the Mamdani campaign may violate campaign finance rules, as only U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents are permitted to contribute to American political campaigns. Candidates are expected to return illegal donations.
As of Tuesday, records revealed that 91 of the foreign donations have been refunded. According to data from the New York City Campaign Finance Records contribution refunds, $5,723.50 of the nearly $13,000 has been returned to foreign donors.
I think most people have now accepted that he will win and turn America's formerly-greatest city into Gaza City 2.0.
American Psycho Author Brett Easton Ellis: Critics Are Overpraising One Battle After Another Out of Ideological Sympathy; the Pro-Antifa Film Will Age Like Milk
—Ace
One Battle After Another was received ecstatically by left-wing critics. Although it's reportedly a well-directed film, the ecstasy comes from the film "meeting the moment," rallying the left to take violent means to undo the Trump Revolution.
The film is explicitly in favor of left-wing terrorists blowing up and killing "right-wing" cartoon characters. I would say it's explicitly pro-Antifa, but the film is careful to never call the terrorists it glorifies "Antifa." But it's also clear that's who the terrorists are.
It's expected to be nominated, and win, just about every Oscar in every category at this year's Academy Awards. Partly because Hollywood just isn't making many worthy movies any more, partly because they can't stop virtue signalling for every Current Year cause, but mostly because they're left-wing psychopaths with a keen interest in encouraging violence against the right.
And so they'll virtue signal this pro-Antifa-Terrorist movie into a historic sweep of the Oscars.
Christian Toto wants to know if we'll get all the Oscar nominations if we produce a film that explicitly glorifies right-wing violence against left-wing government officials.
Here's a timely thought experiment.What if director Paul Thomas Anderson dropped a far-Right movie into this year's awards season mix?
He then rewrites the actual One Battle After Another, flipping left to right and right to left, to see how the left might react to a movie celebrating right wing terrorists blowing up left wing government officials.
The project, dubbed "One Battle After Another," features alt-Right radicals battling it out with government officials during a Democrat administration.
The protesters ignite incendiary devices around a center where January 6 defendants are being held in solitary confinement, even those who merely entered the Capitol during the "insurrection." A few milled around outside the building that day, never joining the riot.
Some radicals in the film detonate bombs in government buildings, unsure if any people are still inside. They don't seem to care.
One radical kills a security officer in a heated moment, helping several J6 activists escape in the process. She's a heroic figure, sultry and uncompromising in her beliefs. A triumphant image of her firing a machine gun while very pregnant causes a stir.
Her beta male beau (Leonardo DiCaprio) can only hope to keep up with her revolutionary pluck.
By all accounts, the couple and their colleagues represent the film's complicated but unabashed heroes. If they ever regret their murderous ways, it isn't captured on screen.
Anderson's visceral filmmaking has never been better. Sean Penn delivers a blistering turn as a Democrat-appointed colonel who will stop at nothing to capture DiCaprio's on-screen daughter.
The storytelling is intense. The performances are all above reproach. It's alternately scary, humorous and ripped from today's headlines. Oh, and the film relentlessly paints Democratic officials as racist, hateful and, often, murderous in nature.
Would that film's Rotten Tomatoes score stand at 96 percent "fresh?" What if its release coincided with real-world violence that eerily reflected the film's messaging?
Doubtful, at best.
...
Critics are fawning over the film, suggesting the Best Picture race unofficially ended with its debut. Trade publications like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter are cranking out stories about the movie, pushing its awareness factor as far as it will go.
Variety cries that the film could "rule the cultural conversation," giving the term "wish-casting" an extreme close-up.
American Psycho author Brett Easton Ellis knows something about provocations in art, and says that this dismal movie will win all the awards -- but be forgotten as a "musty" relic of TDS leftism in a couple of years.
"If there was ever a movie to kind of do a deep-dive on, it would be One Battle After Another," the American Psycho and Less Than Zero author said in a recent episode of his podcast. "I just didn't really like it. It has nothing to do with any kind of ideological shit. I know there are a lot of people on the right who hate the movie and I guess that's kind of fair because I think the liberal, the very liberal entertainment press--I'm not painting them black or anything with that, it's just a fact--have severely overrated it."Ellis went on to argue that the film will one day be considered "a kind of musty relic of the post-Kamala Harris era of, you know, that thing that everyone gathers around and pretends is so fantastic and so great when it really isn't, just to make a point."
...
"Overall, yeah, there's a liberal mustiness to this movie that already feels very dated by October 2025. Very dated," Ellis said, as heard here. "It just doesn't read the room. It reads a tiny corner of the room but it does not read what is going on in America. It thinks something else is going on."
Despite the leftist media's insistence on willing this pro-terrorism piece of shit into a hit, it's a certified flop, which even the left-wing Variety must concede after just a couple of weeks in theaters.
'One Battle After Another' Projected to Lose $100 Million Theatrically as 'Smashing Machine' and Others Also Struggle Due to Oversized Budgets...
Even Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another," led by Leonardo DiCaprio, struggled to break out despite being hailed as a generational masterpiece. Though the global haul of $140 million is impressive for a film that's original, R rated and nearly three hours long, "One Battle" requires roughly $300 million to break even. That's because Warner Bros. spent more than $130 million on production and $70 million on promotional efforts, and ticket sales are typically split 50-50 between studios and theater operators. Meanwhile DiCaprio typically gets first-dollar gross on his movies, meaning he gets a percentage of box office revenues before the studio recoups any costs.
"These prestige-type movies have failed to create a sense of FOMO among audiences," says Fandango's box office analyst Shawn Robbins. "They weren't event-ized enough."
Here's another explanation: If I wanted to watch hardcore pro-terrorist propaganda, I could see it for free just by turning on CNN and MSNBC.
Update:
7 Allan Ng of Film Threat pissed off a bunch of loser critics when he called out the politics of One Battle After Another. His response was great. "Why did you refuse to review or even watch 'Sound of Freedom?'"Posted by: buzzion
In related woke Hollywood news: A Doctor Who writer declares the show "as dead as we've ever known it."
It has been "dead" before, but it was actually just mostly dead. The Doctor's adventures continued in books, and sales of DVDs and merch remained brisk even after the original series' cancellation.
Now, this writer pronounces Doctor Who dead-dead and incapable of being revived.
In the opinion of Doctor Who franchise writer Robert Shearman, the season-ending regeneration of the 15th Doctor into actress Billie Piper, who herself previously played fan favorite companion Rose Tyler, has effectively "put a full stop" on the series' long-running narrative.Shearman, whose Who writing credits include a number of Big Finish's audio dramas, The Frozen Wastes novel, and the 2005 reboot episode Dalek, wherein he reintroduced the public to the titular metal terrors, offered his thoughts on the Time Lord's current state of suspension while being interviewed for Doctor Who Magazine #622, the publication's most recent issue.
Per transcripts of the interview provided separately by Radio Times' Morgan Cormack and Bleeding Cool's Adi Tantimedh, when asked about the aforementioned regeneration, the writer opined, "At the moment I'm in a 'pull' phase. It's weird because the show is probably as dead as we've ever known it."
"After 1989, we had, for years, a current Doctor. Now, everything that is ever going to be produced in Doctor Who terms is going to feel retrogressive. At least with the New Adventures [novels] and then the BBC Books, you thought, 'It's the current Doctor -- McCoy or McGann.'"Drawing his thoughts to a close, Shearman ultimately declared, "No one's going to start writing Doctor Who books with a Billie Piper Doctor, because no one knows what that means.
Because the show was ending and Russell T. Davies wanted to tease some kind of cliffhanger, they filmed a bullshit post-credit ending featuring former companion Billie Piper suddenly becoming the new Doctor. No one believes this is a real casting decision, as Billie Piper hasn't signed on to do a show that no longer exists. And it wouldn't make any sense anyway.
The gay propagandist Russell T. Davies got made that the public rejected his all-gay all-the-time racebent woke Doctor and so he just burned the show down. If you don't appreciate nonstop gay and trans propaganda targeted at children, then you can't have Doctor Who.
Fine by me!
Meanwhile, the BBC's official position is that they just haven't made up their minds about the Disney-funded show.
And although concrete word on Doctor Who's future has yet to be given by either the BBC or the series' international distributor Disney, the fact that it remains in 'cancellation limbo' five years after its last season finale speaks volumes to just how far the iconic sci-fi series has fallen out of favor with the general public.
Bonus: Keira Knightly says, in so many words, "no, I'm not going to be bullied into your trantifa boycott, go f**k yourself, next question."

Surprise! The Gang-Member Carjackers That Beat the Shit Out of "BigBallz" Aren't Going to Spend a Single Day in Jail
—Ace
"Teens" will be spared actual punishment for carjacking and a violent gang assault.
Two teenagers who jumped former DOGE staffer Edward "Big Balls" Coristine have avoided jail after pleading guilty to simple assault at a Washington, DC, court.The boy and girl, both 15, from Hyattsville, Maryland, were sentenced to probation at a DC court on Tuesday, just over two months after the pair were arrested for the savage Aug. 3 attack, WUSA9 reported.
The boy was handed a 12-month probation and allowed to return home under strict house arrest, while the girl was given a nine-month probation and remanded to a local youth shelter.
...
Coristine was left with a concussion and a broken nose after he and a female companion were jumped by "a group of 10 guys," the ex-DOGE employee previously said.

Haxios: Democrats Are Afraid to Sue Trump Over His Shutdown Manuevers
—Ace
Trump and Scott Bessent are prioritizing paying the military and paying welfare payments for single mothers. They are de-priortizing paying bureaucrats.
An Axios piece reporting that while Democrats want to force Trump to pay their bureaucrat friends first and foremost, they're too afraid to sue Trump and to make their own priorities clear.
Democrats in Congress say President Trump's methods for paying military service members and funding food stamps for vulnerable communities are clearly illegal. But they're not keen to fight him on it.Why it matters: It's a rare instance where Trump is going mostly unchallenged as he ignores Congress' constitutional role in controlling federal spending.
...
Several House Democrats in battleground district said privately that it would be a massive political headache for them if party members challenged the payments.
"The legality is questionable, but politically I hope Democrats don't do it," said one lawmaker who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide candid thoughts about the political dynamics around the shutdown.
Said another vulnerable House Democrat: "I'd say that it's a good thing we're helping poor people who are facing food prices and it's good that we're paying the troops."
From Ed Morrissey, who also writes that Joni Ernst is proposing that Russ Vought's Reductions in Force be made permanent.
If they're "non-essential employees" during a shutdown, doesn't that mean they're also non-essential employees outside of a shutdown?
[Fox:] "Schumer's Shutdown shenanigans have already wasted $4.4 billion paying 750,000 'non-essential' federal employees not to work for more than two weeks," Ernst told Fox News Digital."My Non-Essential Workers Transparency Act will expose the lost productivity and true cost of Democrats' political stunt," she said. "It will also help expose which parts of the bloated bureaucracy are truly 'non-essential' and should be put on the chopping block to increase efficiency in Washington for taxpayers."
More at the link.
Schumer has denied that he is keeping the shutdown going to show the "No Kings" cultists that he's a Serious Tough Left-Wing Guy. They're staging a protest/riot for this weekend (the 18th), and Schumer reportedly wants to keep the shutdown going at least through the weekend to show off for his Antifa/anarchist palz.
The fact that he's denying it is conclusive proof that it's true.
The protests are set to come amid a government shutdown that has left large parts of the federal workforce furloughed or fired. Several prominent Republicans in recent days have accused Democrats of prolonging the government shutdown to align with the upcoming "No Kings" protests. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Fox News that Democrats wouldn't vote to reopen the government until after Saturday's "hate America rally" because "they can't face their rabid base."
But protest leaders say the movement's tone will be festive and peaceful, and that their protest is not a factor in the shutdown negotiations. "What this is about is everybody coming together and demonstrating--we don't do kings in America," Indivisible's executive director Ezra Levin told MSNBC last week. "They're going to have funny signs, there's going to be chanting, there's going to be dancing, there's going to be singing."
Oh great, more ancient creaky bediapered hippies singing out of tune.

Rates of Child "Transgenderism," Which Is Totally a Real Thing and Not an Evil Psyop By the Deviant Communist Left, Are Suddenly in Freefall Now That the Government and NGOs Aren't Proselytizing Transgenderism to Children
—Ace
You. Don't. Say.
This study is actually about college students but obviously the same thing must be happening with the children the evil anti-human left has been pushing on children for a decade.
A new survey of published polling data by Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom and an adjunct fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, shows a nearly 50% drop in the number of college students who identify as transgender. Kaufmann believes the data shows the gender identity trend is going "out of fashion."The surveys include polls from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) poll, which samples more than 50,000 students each year, and the Higher Education Research Institute's (HERI) annual freshman survey.
"The annual Andover Phillips Academy survey showed 9.2% of students identified as neither male nor female in 2023, a figure that plummeted to 3% in 2025," according to a report in the Washington Times.
At Brown University, 5% of students said they were nonbinary in 2023, but just 2.6% did so two years later.

Trump Posthumously Awards Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom
—Ace
He also declared Kirk's birthday (yesterday, October 14th) a National Day of Remembrance of Kirk.
President Donald Trump honored the late conservative leader Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday, calling him a "martyr for truth and for freedom" during a moving Rose Garden ceremony held on what would have been Kirk's 32nd birthday.Standing beside Kirk's widow, Erika, Trump said the Turning Point USA founder's courage and conviction placed him among the greats of history. "From Socrates to Saint Peter, from Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, those who change history the most--and he really did--have always risked their lives for causes they were put on Earth to defend," Trump said. He added that Kirk was "looking down on us right now," calling his assassination "a reminder of how far the radical left will go when their ideas fail." The president condemned the political violence gripping the country, pointing to the murder of Kirk on September 10 during a campus speaking event in Utah. "We've watched legions of far-left radicals resort to desperate acts of violence and terror because they know that their ideas are persuading no one. They have the devil's ideology, and they're failing," Trump said.
The president recounted how he "raced back halfway around the globe" from the Middle East--where he had just finalized the Israel-Hamas peace deal--to attend the ceremony. "I didn't have the courage to call Erika and say, 'Can you move it to Friday?'" he said. "But I heard it was Charlie's birthday, and I said, 'We're going to have to forget about some of those very big, very rich countries that expected me to be there.'"
Now we know why Trump immediately hopped on Air Force One to race back to the States.
Trump spoke warmly of meeting Kirk as a young man, recalling, "When I first met him, he was 22, and I thought he was older. He was special." He continued, "Instead of turning 32, Charlie is attaining a far more important milestone--we're entering his name forever into the eternal roster of true American heroes."
...
Erika Kirk, standing beside a portrait of her late husband, thanked the president and spoke through tears about Charlie's humility and purpose. "I have spent seven and a half years trying to find the perfect birthday gift for Charlie," she said. "He wasn't a materialistic man, so that made it difficult. But now I can say with confidence, Mr. President, that you've given him the best birthday gift he could ever have."
It is important to remember and celebrate Charlie Kirk, not just to honor the man and his message, but to send a warning to future left-wing assassins: Your bullets will not stop your enemies. It will immortalize them.
That's the only way to push back against the left's constant justification and valorization of political assassins. If the left is allowed to continue normalizing violence, assassinations of rightist figures will increase. Unless we make it clear that the assassinations will result in blowback to the left.
The left is further encouraging assassins by insisting that Charlie Kirk be forgotten and that the right stop talking about him. The left is, essentially, demanding that its leftwing assassin be delivered a Double Victory -- not only is Kirk dead, but so too is his legacy.
That's what they want. And every lefty griping that "we're still talking about Charlie Kirk" is in fact creating the circumstances for the next murder by telling their fellow extremist left-wingers that they can have the Perfect Victory of 1, eliminating an important and persuasive voice on the right, plus 2, insulating the left from any blowback or political damage from the assassination.
And the only way to push back against the left's incitement and justification of murder is to make it clear their murders will result in the further destruction of the left.
Sorry, Gabe: We're not going to let you and your left-wing assassin allies score your Perfect Victory.
MXM hints at that:

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
The American press is the most dependable institutional complex in the history of man. It can be counted on to lie, no matter what. Whatever topic, whatever issue, whatever place, whatever time, the American press will always engage in deceit. Whatever story any given press whore is telling, it will be incomplete, inaccurate, wholly fabricated or some combination of these. There was a truly splendid example of this earlier in the week. This story came out of Boston, but the place is irrelevant. They're all the same, this just happens to be a local story.
The story is about the current boogeyman of the Left: ICE. The Boston Globe article decides to engage in lying by omissions, rather than outright fabrication. It starts with the attention-grabbing headline:
Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
The story itself is about the baffling injustice of it all.

The Morning Report — 10/15/25
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. And so with the ceasefire so-called "peace" agreement signed and delivered in Gaza, President Trump laid down the law.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Hamas terrorists would lay down their weapons, or the United States would “disarm them.”Speaking to reporters during a roundtable with Argentinian President Javier Milei at the White House, Trump said that Hamas has already promised to disarm, which was a major demand in the president’s 20-point peace plan. “They’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm,” Trump said. “And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”
“How will you do that?” a reporter asked. “I don’t have to explain that to you, but if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them,” Trump reiterated. “They know I’m not playing games.”
With all due respect to the President, color me highly skeptical. Even if this ceasefire holds for any appreciable length of time, the problem isn't necessarily Hamas nor its caches of weapons. The issue was and always will be Islam. You can disarm Hamas and every other armed Muslim, unless and until you deprogram them and successive generations of Muslims from what the Koran tells them is their duty on this Earth — the death or submission of every infidel on Earth — then despite the blessed liberation of the innocents they held captive and abused for two years, All of this is destined to happen again, perhaps even worse than before.
As I've stated many times, I hold no illusions about Islam reforming itself but perhaps, this next item might hold out a kernel of hope, however subatomic it may be that even some segments of the much talked about Muslim/Arab street might be ripe for change.
With the U.S.-brokered ceasefire providing a breather, Hamas terrorists have crawled out of their tunnels and fanned out into the streets of Gaza — massacring political rivals and opposing Arab clans to reestablish their reign of terror. It is worth noting that the massive Hamas tunnel network was exclusively for terrorist warfare, and not to shield a single Gaza civilian during the two-year-long war.
Despite the 5 times a day yammering of the Imams and even louder and harder on Fridays about how evil the Jews are, perhaps the truth of who really is the source of their misery as illustrated by this piece, might one day have the salutary effect of breaking through and raising some consciousnesses . Tribalism, xenophobia and hatred are unfortunately a part of human nature. In fits and starts we have somehow managed over the past 2,000 years to generally advance to a level where most people do believe or at the very least aspire to the goal of Live and Let Live. Of course, wars and revolutions and other base desires notwithstanding in that time have dragged us backwards, but the direction has nevertheless has always been towards the light of God and truth.
Evil persists as it always has and human nature being what it is, always will. We must always be on our guard to fight it as well as protect whatever sparks of humanity there are the crop up in the most unexpected place, to try and encourage them.
President Donald Trump will award Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom today at 4 PM ET. You can watch the livestream below. Today would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday.Erika, Charlie’s widow, will attend the ceremony along with those associated with his organization Turning Point USA.
God bless Charlie Kirk's memory. We sure could use a whole lot more like him. And that said, Kirk came onto the sene during the dark days of the Obama years when we seemingly thought we had lost his generation to the insanity of Leftist/Socialist/progressivism and yet he came to the fore and inspired many young people to return to God and also to open their eyes and minds to the insanity all around us. And he along with others helped propel Donald Trump and the MAGA movement forward. That momentum I hope and pray is still with us.
Have a good day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
