Charlie was the best of us. While conservatives held peaceful vigils, leftists danced on his grave. We need RICO to bring justice to all the extremist networks and their funders. If we don’t hold them accountable, they will stoke more violence. Randi weingarten and many like her are already back to calling all of us fascists, only a week after they scolded both sides to tone down the rhetoric.
Watch this Dave Rubin video of Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher in Chicago which was pretty much nothing. What’s interesting is that he feels he was being a good teacher by not giving test prep, homework or failing anyone. Why? Because he spared them the humiliation of once again failing and feeling stupid and he even says this, “sometimes my students would get frustrated.”
Many overlook how painful and humiliating this is for them and the anger and resentment it generates against whites which the democrats then capitalize on to get support for their party and agenda of reparations and replacing meritocracy with equity aka race based equal outcomes. How can our society survive this level of damage? How do we coexist with white leftists who hate us for not being on board with this project of dismantling civilization for the sake of equality?
“Watch Two Quotes That Should Have Disqualified the New Mayor.”
Is there any area of our society that hasn’t been ruined by the democrats? Even our med schools are replacing meritocracy with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.
“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”
“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”
It’s obviously what the democrats believe. White leftists would rather be boiled in oil than admit they believe blacks are less intelligent than other races but actions speak louder than words. And how about the blacks themselves? Chicago’s mayor clearly believes that and pretty much admitted it in the clip of him Dave Rubin showed from 2018 when he was a teacher.
We can all see the harm Randi Weingarten has done is the declining test scores and the lack of classic education to this latest generation of school children.
I was astounded that Greta on Newsmax was so friendly to her, seemed like they had a long relationship. Randi ruined young people by not allowing schools to be in session.
I’ve tried steelmanning the argument that the Soros family merely holds ideas that are not aligned with mine and that they are legitimately exercising their First Amendment rights by using their vast wealth to change the country. But I just can’t manage to construct a plausible argument in support of that proposition. It sure seems vastly more likely that they are truly psychopaths intent upon causing as much harm and destruction as possible before they reach their natural demise. And even then the foundations they’ve established will continue to create havoc with endowments and paid staffs.
There is now a discussion of starting with these people and organizations and figuring out what they’ve been up to and their techniques. Following the money trails starting with this particular band of psychopaths seems as good a place as any to start improving life for Americans.
The damage done to children by this evil witch is incalculable. I have numerous friends who said their previously active, engaged kids literally went to ground during the lockdowns and have never recovered.
no he wasn't the best to of us he was a demagogue on many issues. as for the leftists you are just exercising collectivist ideology which is on the road to perdition. he never should have been assassinated by a psychopath but stop with the collectivist nonsense
@Nobodyknowsnothing, please provide specific examples of how Charlie "was a demagogue on many issues." He never claimed to be perfect, but he seems to have been a model Christian, husband, father, and patriot. He spent his young life on college campuses practicing the essence of the 1st Amendment by encouraging discussions with those, like you or Tyler Robinson, who disagreed with him. He would have welcomed your opinions, and I fail to see the demagoguery in that.
I enjoyed Kirk's schtick of arguing with students on college campuses, but I also think Andrew Sullivan's description of it ("it wasn’t exactly wisdom; but it wasn’t entirely sophistry either") gets it about right. And in general, I think Sullivan's column on Kirk is probably the best piece about him in the wake of his assassination that I have seen:
My own take is that Kirk was a truly impressive organizer and political activist, but one whose legacy will ultimately be tarnished by his support for Donald Trump in general and denial of the 2020 election results in particular.
That said, his murder, like the murders of Melissa Hortman, David Rose, and Corey Comperatore and the attacks on Trump, Shapiro, and Pelosi was horrific. And given the rise in violence on both sides of the political divides in this country, it's a wake up call that everyone needs to dial down the rhetoric and stop describing those who disagree with one politically as enemies.
I don't know if you're making fun of the crazies who were actually pushing that idea, buf if you actually believe that is what happened then you are on object lesson in why anyone who is paying attention believes the problem of right wing crazies is at least as bad or worse as the problem of left wing crazies.
That Pelosi theory is the equivalent of believing that Charlie Kirk was shot by a lover who was mad that he wouldn't leave his wife.
The guy was caught before with an underage male prostitute.
The nutball he picked up was known to work as a prostitute.when the police got to the house they saw two guys fighting over a dildo. Pelosi was in his underwear. The cops in san francisco knew damn well whose house they were going to. That's why they handled it the way they did.
But he always gets away with everything because of who he is married to. Very wierd relationship she has to know he is a fag.
These stories are true look into it yourself.
Nancy has a lot of power look what happened to the hair dresser who leaked security camera footage of Nancy without a mask on during the height of the covid panic. These people are above the law.
I’m not seeing the violence on “both sides”. but neither is that surprising. The left is reacting to the loss of power daily, not with sound arguments and policy but with anger and violence.
Michelle: Violence from the right included the attackson Pelosi and the CDC and the murder of Harmon. Meanwhile, besides the Kirk shooting, what violence has come from the left?
The Paul Pelosi interloper several years ago was his lover who lived in a van with a banner-but not aligned with anything. CDC, Harmon. Who, what, when, where why?
The Catholic Church school: Two children dead, and a young man confused and badly in need of counseling to change his name back and cut his hair. A crying shame.
The real issue with the left is street violence with the Federal government, and language that promotes hatred by calling to mind the mid century atrocities of Germany. Never again.
You mean Pelosi husband a couple of years ago? The man lived in a trailer outside and had banners that promoted something I was not familiar with. He had some kind of relationship with Paul Pelosi. I am not familiar with Harmon, or who he/she is. When was there a violent attack on the CDC? Has the suspect gone to trial? The recent Catholic church/school shooting…, the TN one…I have to reread what you said that I responded to.
First of all, he had no interest in “power” which is in part the definition of a demagogue. Did he hold and speak unpopular opinions? Yes, and he believed in those opinions as truth. I did not agree with him on everything, but at least I listened. And I never would have dreamed of killing him for being pro-life [for example] but somehow, many on the left cannot seem to abide any opinions but their own. For some reason [many of us know why] they cannot allow such “unpopular” opinions to be held, much less stated and debated. It disgusts me that so many on the left—so many of my liberal friends!—are not denouncing his cold blooded murder, but are shrugging and implying “he sort of had it coming.” Just because one supports the 2nd amendment doesn’t mean they are pro-murder. Charlie was a good man even if you didn’t agree with his views, but no person should ever be killed for their views.
He certainly was emotional when making his case, and so appealed to his audience's emotions, since his subjects just naturally evoke strong feelings one way or the other, but he always was able to marshal enough evidence to prevail in debates, simply because his antagonists are either flatly insane or ignorant and immature, and haven't got a leg to stand on.
Some find Kirk's advocacy of Christianity, the nuclear family, so-called "race realism," and traditional gender roles offensive. More moderate people find them old-fashioned. but the alternatives that have advanced in their place over the last 60-or-so years (the trans-gender social contagion, black civil rights on steroids and all the nonsense that follows from that and their critical studies-based rationalizations) prove to me that his alternative is the healthiest, both for individuals and for social cohesion, whether you are a True Believer or not. The reactions to his murder also demonstrate this, especially the highly offensive, barbaric, and enraging public vomit on social media from the left.
If we have no appearances or public statements regarding this horrorshow from the so-called "actual far-right," like American Nazis or white supremacy groups , it will only reinforce my belief that such groups are too weak to make any sort of political difference and the evocation of their threat from Democratic DEMAGOGUES in Congress is just so much more horseshit from their feckless unprincipled politics.
I didn’t care for a few of the things he said, because he said it in a rude way.. but that doesn’t mean he was a “demagogue”.. give me a break! Man, this kind of hyperbole is just a step down from saying he was a racist and homophobe, which is what’s enabling all these feckless radical leftists to justify their hate. Please cut it out with the labels.
I agree that the nonprofit industrial complex is using the money in some unethical ways. It would be a better use of time to focus on the NGOs vs late night comedians
You want RICO laws used against the people you disagree with? Would Charlie Kirk have agreed with you? He should have been free to say whatever he thinks but that goes for everyone!
Not for their disagreement. For their funding of illegal activities. Have you ever noticed that so many tents in those university illegal occupations are the same or vey similar?
Out of deference to Mr. Kirk's political assassination, I did not want to say this last week with respect to your post on young people on the conservative side, but there is a connection. Young Americans in particular have been the victims of the 300 year march of secularism, which we can trace to the laughably named "Enlightenment." As education spread in the 19th Century, this thinking infected not just the intellectual class, but normal people as well. Now we live in a society where "truth" is not absolute, but is whatever the individual happens to believe--a radical form of relativism. When man sets himself above God, human society cannot endure. I think Mr. Kirk understood this. There is a reason Christians believe in original sin, which is ultimately the sin of pride.
I’ve always tended to view the Enlightenment as a mostly beneficial historical phenomenon. After all, the US Constitution and the majority of the Founders were heavily influenced by it. But I do see your point; the tree has borne some rotten fruit, such as the French Revolution, Rousseau, Hegel - and most notably, Marx and the French postmodernists. The Enlightenment’s exaltation of reason has ironically been turned on its head. Since the advent of postmodernism (which can most appropriately be called an “anti-philosophy) we have the denigration of reason which has precipitated the loss of objectivity, truth and the concept of reality itself. Somehow, we need to claw our way back to sanity…
I agree the Enlightenment has borne some poisoned fruit, but anyone with eyes to see understands that God is not dead, though Christianity has certainly taken a beating and is down on points in the late rounds but seems to be rallying for at least a split decision.
The fact that there are still large numbers of Christians of various denominations tells me that some sort of concept of God is central to human existence and the search for transcendent reality will never end, though it might take some weird forms. And you can't deny that many of the cultural products of the enlightenment, art and literature for example, are beautiful and have stood the test of time. Go stand in the nave of the rebuilt Notre Dame cathedral to get a visceral sense of what I mean.
I have a Buddhist orientation myself. I find their concepts fit my actual experience, although I have no need for its rituals and cultural manifestations. I do like the art that has arisen from Buddhism in Asia though.
The way I know that God is dead is the very rhetoric and behavior of Trump supporters: who *clearly* laugh at the idea that you will ever have to account to anyone for your cruelty. Nothing says "give me a break, nobody actually believes this" like shoving children into cages while chanting Bible verses.
I'm honestly so glad you said this. I keep telling my friends that MAGA is a backlash against the Enlightenment-- against science, against humanism, against rational thought itself-- and they keep thinking that's too crazy to take seriously.
Thanks for listing out some of the victims of left-wing Cancel Culture. Now that the winds are shifting, it would be good for us to go back and examine some of them.
My own "turning point" away from the left was the cancellation of James Damore, the Google engineer, who when feminists brought equal outcome identity politics into the workplace, wrote a polite, reasoned, and evidenced based argument in the form of a memo. He was fired for it. The media subsequently lied about the memo, omitting some of it (the part where he urged his co-workers to treat each other as valuable individuals regardless of sex), and lying about its contents.
These things are not the same. Bringing identity politics into the workplace expecting a "The View" like experience where affirmation, validation and confirmation is experienced, evidence be damned, but being shocked when a polite, grown-up conversation is sought, resulting in a histrionic fit leading to terminating a grown-up in the room... Is not the same as getting fired for cheering the brutal assassination of a father in front of his children.
This distinction needs to be hammered home, hard... Because it is important.
My own "turning point" away from the democrat&republican PARTY was when I stopped doing those drugs the VA gave me for my PTSD. But hey, you guys can continue to fuck the country up by voting for the tyranny of the republican&democrat PARTY, because that is what the dumbest people in America do, they vote for the democrat&republican PARTY.
$37 TRILLION DOLLARS and climbing, and you will still vote for the republican&democrat PARTY...what's that old saying about doing the same thing over and over again, and getting the same result.
I share your concerns about the debt and wish you the best. That said, I see very important distinctions between Trump/Trumpism and these delusional Marxists, only one of which I highlighted above.
If a viable alternative appears that does something about this very dangerous debt level in addition to the rending of societal fabric based on identity and now political violence, I'll be behind you 100%. But the truth is we live in the world that is, not the world we wish to be.
The alternative is to get rid of the democrat&republican PARTY that is responsible for THAT debt, not continuing to vote for your republican&democrat tyrannts.
Well, NoVaCloudDev, you can read my book, "The Separation of Corporation and State" subtitled "Common Sense and the Two-Party Crisis" available on Amazon. In the 260 pages of my book I explain how.
I am an American I am NOT a republican&democrat voter.
$37 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt because of the democrat&republican PARTY do you understand that kittnana?
If you ARE A democrat&republican voter it is too difficult for you to understand anything not written by the republican&democrat PARTY and their propagandists.
Hence, why I say the dumbest people in America are the democrat&republican voter. They are TOO brainwashed to understand anything not spoon fed to them by their republican&democrat PARTY.
Thanks for proving that truism kittynana.
P.S. Kittynana, for most democrat&republican voters they cannot challenge their own bias and are therefore, forever stuck being a republican&democrat voter who steps into a voting booth and checks off all the d's or r's without a thought. Hence, the dumbest people in America.
The problem is that we have to live in the real world. There is no alternative to D or R, other than to go live in the bush. GOP is is, and they've been doing a good job the last nine months.
The transgender violence has been going on for years. Trannies were a major component of Antifa back in 2020. Andy Ngo has been documenting tranny violence on this X account for years.
Thank you so much for explaining with your usual elegance the nature of the social contract in our country. And how it has been violated. And how to proceed forward with grace and truth.
Chris, about the term "anti-fascists." Of course, as freedom-loving Americans we are against fascism. Antifa has, like the left always does, misappropriated a term to their advantage. I think if we refuse to call them "anti-fascists" (especially when they are the epitome of fascistic!) and only call them Antifa - or better, let's create a new moniker, Antifa Domestic Terrorists, ADT - we can potentially get control of the narrative on this one. The point is that they are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, and that is what must be hammered home publicly.
As horrified as I am at this murder and the impact on America of the last ten years or so, I do worry about the development of policies in the immediate aftermath of these types of events. Emotion seldom leads to healthy policies and bad policies often lead to their own even more pronounced harms. I think we need to be cautious and thoughtful about the “solutions” to the actions of one individual, even if those actions may have been heavily influenced by others. Someday, the other party will control whatever mechanisms are put in place today - building increased government power, however directed initially, is unlikely to preserve the America I grew up in and treasure.
@Peter- agreed but the right tends to be more controlled in its actions than the left lately. I mean, the bullets are literally flying from one direction.
The media has been looking for a way to spin this for a week and, until now, unsuccessfully. For days they have told their listeners and readers that Robinson was MAGA. Half the country believed this poling showed, but it wasn't sticking, it was too superficial.
The left wing media also had no answer for the cold, heartless and hateful postings of their side celebrating Kirk's murder - it made them look really bad. So they just did not cover it, or claimed it wasn't true.
But now they have their angle, their deeper story. Matt Gutman led the way out of their troubles. Robinson is in fact one of them after all. He embraced all that they hold near and dear - most especially the transgenderism; the furry kink is just a bit more spice. He is a social justice warrior. There was a motive and it was noble. He was defending his lover's honor and goodness in the face of evil and hate - which you and I know as merely as normalcy - a man cannot become a woman or vice versa. Walter Kirn is 100% correct:
Watch the media narrative do a grand pirouette today. It began last night.
And here it is already last night from the noted psychologist: Montel Williams on CNN Thunderdome says the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination was "a love-torn child" likely in the throes of "his first real relationship and someone was disparaging the person he loved" and thus not "motivated politically"....
He like Mangione will now be lionized even more by young people on the left. They finally have their deeper narrative. Of course media voices will say he took it too far and that they don't condone violence, but that will be about as effective and unimportant at the statement of side effects in a pharmaceutical commercial. The main point will be that he is actually good and noble young man, deeply in love, driven to violence by the hate speech of Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk. In the end, his demise is their fault. Once again, they will be found guilty. Welcome to the Cultural Revolution...Mao must be smiling.
It's not surprising that Robinson will be welcomed into the pack of SJWs and lionized by their leprous mouthpieces and that he will be painted as a poor little naïf incited to murder by the Evil Far Right, that clownish caricature of a miniscule faction with zero power or influence, that colossal lie that gullible geeks everywhere have swallowed whole.
Yes to all points Christopher. We also have the potential of healing our nation’s mass diasphoria —a constitution that protects individual rights, leaves guns in possession of qualified citizens, and balances rhetorical excess with truth. We need all parties on alert to ensure it’s enforced.
Reading from Argentina. I am concerned for Agustín Laje, Nicolás Márquez, and Pablo Muñoz Iturrieta. They represent the Latin American equivalent of Kirk, standing as warriors in this cultural battle. Now more than ever, it is essential to keep Charly’s voice alive.
The left is so blinded by their rhetoric of hate that they don’t see calling someone a fascist without any merit as anything but the truth. When confronted to prove that statement, leftists never present to the country with evidence of any merit. I don’t believe the people cheering this murder EVER saw a video of Charlie Kirk giving a speech or visiting Campuses. They respond like the sheeple they are in life. Cancel them wherever they are and let them know it.
Says the Woke white leftist who supports open borders, the war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes, and the demonization of “Whiteness!” to promote white guilt to gain support for things like reparations and equity. You people are insane. Big time. Super big time.
Uh huh. That's your easy out, to call anyone who points out your slavish adoration of a petty narcissist as a "Woke white leftist". Actually, I'm none of those three things. But doesn't matter, does it? What matters is: someone to hate.
I do enjoy reading these comments, because it reveals so much.
Charlie’s assassination on top of the murder of the young woman on the train which the left tried to ignore shows pretty clearly that we’ve passed the point of no return.
Megyn says we should all watch the video of the reaction of the young woman stabbed on the train. I agree. There’s a look of horror on her face as she looks up at the black man who stabbed her, then she realizes she’s been badly injured, then slides off the seat to the floor and dies. The other video shows this plus audio of the man saying “She called me a n**ger.” She obviously didn’t. He picked up that idea from the democrats who often claim an attack on a white person by a black is most likely due to being called a n**ger. Democrats are evil and insane.
“Megyn Kelly Plays the Full Charlotte Stabbing Video and Explains Why We All Must Watch the Horror.” (17 min)
I agree: the Iryna Zarutska stabbing was horrible. She was totally innocent and she died for no reason, at the hands of a mentally ill individual who should not have been on the streets.
I notice you forgot the murder of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their golden retriever by Vance Boelter: a Republican, an evangelical Christian, and a fervent Trump supporter. He had a list of 70 other people he planned to kill. I figure, following your logic, that Republicans, evangelical Christians, and Trump supporters are evil and insane: right? I mean, that's where he got his ideas. Just makes sense.
Do you suppose we should allow them to apologize, or just take away their Constitutional rights immediately?
There are certain things very obvious about race and the left in America. There is nothing punished more than anti-black racism. There is nothing punished least than racism by blacks. You dodged the fact that Iryna Zarutska was murdered by a black man because she was white. I live in Chicago where black racial attacks on white people, often women, are common and obviously hate crimes yet are never classified as hate crimes because according to your despicably evil Democratic Party only white people can be racist.
“Suburban woman punched, knocked out downtown Chicago.” (3 min)
And you dodged the fact that there was no Democratic Party that urged the assailant to attack Zarutska, or any other person. Because you are so full of hatred, you're so eager to attach the actions of a certifiably mentally ill man to half the fucking nation. I can see the concentration camps in your eyes: will you feel better, perhaps, when "we" (your fellow Americans) are locked up?
It's interesting that the most important part of this murder, for you, wasn't the innocence of the victim but her skin color-- and that of her assailant. I notice that I said nothing about skin color, but you've made it the focus of your points twice. I guess maybe you don't feel like you need to be ashamed of it anymore.
Oh but please do lecture me about identity politics. Also, I'm not a Democrat.
“there was no Democratic Party that urged the assailant to attack Zarutska,”
Why do so many blacks hate whites? Heather MacDonald from City Journal can explain that. Why do so many on the left consider this acceptable? Does America even still exist as a country?
“Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”
“Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.”
After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US.
Fascism is on the far left. Mussolini, who really created fascism, was a socialist from when he first got involved in politics until the day he died. All fascists want the government to control everything. And that is what Mussolini did when he ran the Italian government.
This is a pathetic lie that no serious historian supports. Wikipedia begins "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology..."
And anyway, your guy is doing nothing but using the government to try and "control everything". I suppose its OK because you like it?
Authoritarianism is not specific to the left or the right. There have been left-wing dictatorships (Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot) and right-wing dictatorships (Hitler, Franco, Pinochet). The fact that there are authoritarian extremes does not mean that people on the right (or left) are authoritarian: just that it's a danger.
But I'm a little disturbed at this new pseudo-scholarship that attempts to rewrite fascist history. You would have a hard time explaining why Mussolini and Hitler identified themselves as right-wing, or why they went out of their way to target left-wing groups. But I guess with Dunning-Kruger you can accomplish anything.
Charlie was the best of us. While conservatives held peaceful vigils, leftists danced on his grave. We need RICO to bring justice to all the extremist networks and their funders.

It’s obviously what the democrats believe. White leftists would rather be boiled in oil than admit they believe blacks are less intelligent than other races but actions speak louder than words. And how about the blacks themselves? Chicago’s mayor clearly believes that and pretty much admitted it in the clip of him Dave Rubin showed from 2018 when he was a teacher.

no he wasn't the best to of us he was a demagogue on many issues. as for the leftists you are just exercising collectivist ideology which is on the road to perdition. he never should have been assassinated by a psychopath but stop with the collectivist nonsense
@Nobodyknowsnothing, please provide specific examples of how Charlie "was a demagogue on many issues."

I enjoyed Kirk's schtick of arguing with students on college campuses, but I also think Andrew Sullivan's description of it ("it wasn’t exactly wisdom; but it wasn’t entirely sophistry either") gets it about right. And in general, I think Sullivan's column on Kirk is probably the best piece about him in the wake of his assassination that I have seen:
https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/hitting-the-jugular-of-liberal-democracy-92c
My own take is that Kirk was a truly impressive organizer and political activist, but one whose legacy will ultimately be tarnished by his support for Donald Trump in general and denial of the 2020 election results in particular.
That said, his murder, like the murders of Melissa Hortman, David Rose, and Corey Comperatore and the attacks on Trump, Shapiro, and Pelosi was horrific. And given the rise in violence on both sides of the political divides in this country, it's a wake up call that everyone needs to dial down the rhetoric and stop describing those who disagree with one politically as enemies.
Paul Pelosi had picked up the homosexual prostitute and brought him to his home. The hammer was a sex toy.
Who knows what two deranged wierdos were fighting about.
I don't know if you're making fun of the crazies who were actually pushing that idea, buf if you actually believe that is what happened then you are on object lesson in why anyone who is paying attention believes the problem of right wing crazies is at least as bad or worse as the problem of left wing crazies.
That Pelosi theory is the equivalent of believing that Charlie Kirk was shot by a lover who was mad that he wouldn't leave his wife.
The guy was caught before with an underage male prostitute.
The nutball he picked up was known to work as a prostitute.when the police got to the house they saw two guys fighting over a dildo. Pelosi was in his underwear. The cops in san francisco knew damn well whose house they were going to. That's why they handled it the way they did.
But he always gets away with everything because of who he is married to. Very wierd relationship she has to know he is a fag.
These stories are true look into it yourself.
Nancy has a lot of power look what happened to the hair dresser who leaked security camera footage of Nancy without a mask on during the height of the covid panic. These people are above the law.
Were you drinking when you misread what I wrote?
I’m not seeing the violence on “both sides”. but neither is that surprising. The left is reacting to the loss of power daily, not with sound arguments and policy but with anger and violence.
Michelle: Violence from the right included the attackson Pelosi and the CDC and the murder of Harmon. Meanwhile, besides the Kirk shooting, what violence has come from the left?
The Paul Pelosi interloper several years ago was his lover who lived in a van with a banner-but not aligned with anything. CDC, Harmon. Who, what, when, where why?
The Catholic Church school: Two children dead, and a young man confused and badly in need of counseling to change his name back and cut his hair. A crying shame.
The real issue with the left is street violence with the Federal government, and language that promotes hatred by calling to mind the mid century atrocities of Germany. Never again.
You mean Pelosi husband a couple of years ago? The man lived in a trailer outside and had banners that promoted something I was not familiar with. He had some kind of relationship with Paul Pelosi. I am not familiar with Harmon, or who he/she is. When was there a violent attack on the CDC? Has the suspect gone to trial? The recent Catholic church/school shooting…, the TN one…I have to reread what you said that I responded to.
First of all, he had no interest in “power” which is in part the definition of a demagogue. Did he hold and speak unpopular opinions? Yes, and he believed in those opinions as truth. I did not agree with him on everything, but at least I listened. And I never would have dreamed of killing him for being pro-life [for example] but somehow, many on the left cannot seem to abide any opinions but their own. For some reason [many of us know why] they cannot allow such “unpopular” opinions to be held, much less stated and debated. It disgusts me that so many on the left—so many of my liberal friends!—are not denouncing his cold blooded murder, but are shrugging and implying “he sort of had it coming.” Just because one supports the 2nd amendment doesn’t mean they are pro-murder. Charlie was a good man even if you didn’t agree with his views, but no person should ever be killed for their views.
He certainly was emotional when making his case, and so appealed to his audience's emotions, since his subjects just naturally evoke strong feelings one way or the other, but he always was able to marshal enough evidence to prevail in debates, simply because his antagonists are either flatly insane or ignorant and immature, and haven't got a leg to stand on.
Some find Kirk's advocacy of Christianity, the nuclear family, so-called "race realism," and traditional gender roles offensive. More moderate people find them old-fashioned. but the alternatives that have advanced in their place over the last 60-or-so years (the trans-gender social contagion, black civil rights on steroids and all the nonsense that follows from that and their critical studies-based rationalizations) prove to me that his alternative is the healthiest, both for individuals and for social cohesion, whether you are a True Believer or not. The reactions to his murder also demonstrate this, especially the highly offensive, barbaric, and enraging public vomit on social media from the left.
If we have no appearances or public statements regarding this horrorshow from the so-called "actual far-right," like American Nazis or white supremacy groups , it will only reinforce my belief that such groups are too weak to make any sort of political difference and the evocation of their threat from Democratic DEMAGOGUES in Congress is just so much more horseshit from their feckless unprincipled politics.
Brilliant analysis! Thank you
It's your crowd that are the demagogical "colletcivists."
If you can accuse Kirk of demagoguery, it seems you must believe anyone who does not adopt your every political perspective must be a demagogue.
I didn’t care for a few of the things he said, because he said it in a rude way.. but that doesn’t mean he was a “demagogue”.. give me a break! Man, this kind of hyperbole is just a step down from saying he was a racist and homophobe, which is what’s enabling all these feckless radical leftists to justify their hate. Please cut it out with the labels.
Youknowsnothing
I agree that the nonprofit industrial complex is using the money in some unethical ways. It would be a better use of time to focus on the NGOs vs late night comedians
You want RICO laws used against the people you disagree with? Would Charlie Kirk have agreed with you? He should have been free to say whatever he thinks but that goes for everyone!
Not for their disagreement. For their funding of illegal activities. Have you ever noticed that so many tents in those university illegal occupations are the same or vey similar?

He had the courage that most of us lack. I pray that we all use his example to be
more bold in our faith.
Out of deference to Mr. Kirk's political assassination, I did not want to say this last week with respect to your post on young people on the conservative side, but there is a connection. Young Americans in particular have been the victims of the 300 year march of secularism, which we can trace to the laughably named "Enlightenment." As education spread in the 19th Century, this thinking infected not just the intellectual class, but normal people as well. Now we live in a society where "truth" is not absolute, but is whatever the individual happens to believe--a radical form of relativism. When man sets himself above God, human society cannot endure. I think Mr. Kirk understood this. There is a reason Christians believe in original sin, which is ultimately the sin of pride.
I’ve always tended to view the Enlightenment as a mostly beneficial historical phenomenon. After all, the US Constitution and the majority of the Founders were heavily influenced by it. But I do see your point; the tree has borne some rotten fruit, such as the French Revolution, Rousseau, Hegel - and most notably, Marx and the French postmodernists. The Enlightenment’s exaltation of reason has ironically been turned on its head. Since the advent of postmodernism (which can most appropriately be called an “anti-philosophy) we have the denigration of reason which has precipitated the loss of objectivity, truth and the concept of reality itself. Somehow, we need to claw our way back to sanity…
I agree the Enlightenment has borne some poisoned fruit, but anyone with eyes to see understands that God is not dead, though Christianity has certainly taken a beating and is down on points in the late rounds but seems to be rallying for at least a split decision.
The fact that there are still large numbers of Christians of various denominations tells me that some sort of concept of God is central to human existence and the search for transcendent reality will never end, though it might take some weird forms. And you can't deny that many of the cultural products of the enlightenment, art and literature for example, are beautiful and have stood the test of time. Go stand in the nave of the rebuilt Notre Dame cathedral to get a visceral sense of what I mean.
I have a Buddhist orientation myself. I find their concepts fit my actual experience, although I have no need for its rituals and cultural manifestations. I do like the art that has arisen from Buddhism in Asia though.
The way I know that God is dead is the very rhetoric and behavior of Trump supporters: who *clearly* laugh at the idea that you will ever have to account to anyone for your cruelty. Nothing says "give me a break, nobody actually believes this" like shoving children into cages while chanting Bible verses.
A Buddhist Bull? I like it!
I'm honestly so glad you said this. I keep telling my friends that MAGA is a backlash against the Enlightenment-- against science, against humanism, against rational thought itself-- and they keep thinking that's too crazy to take seriously.
Darn that universal education, infecting people.
I agree.
Please take care of yourself, Chris.
Yes!
Thanks for listing out some of the victims of left-wing Cancel Culture. Now that the winds are shifting, it would be good for us to go back and examine some of them.
My own "turning point" away from the left was the cancellation of James Damore, the Google engineer, who when feminists brought equal outcome identity politics into the workplace, wrote a polite, reasoned, and evidenced based argument in the form of a memo. He was fired for it. The media subsequently lied about the memo, omitting some of it (the part where he urged his co-workers to treat each other as valuable individuals regardless of sex), and lying about its contents.
These things are not the same. Bringing identity politics into the workplace expecting a "The View" like experience where affirmation, validation and confirmation is experienced, evidence be damned, but being shocked when a polite, grown-up conversation is sought, resulting in a histrionic fit leading to terminating a grown-up in the room... Is not the same as getting fired for cheering the brutal assassination of a father in front of his children.
This distinction needs to be hammered home, hard... Because it is important.
My own "turning point" away from the democrat&republican PARTY was when I stopped doing those drugs the VA gave me for my PTSD. But hey, you guys can continue to fuck the country up by voting for the tyranny of the republican&democrat PARTY, because that is what the dumbest people in America do, they vote for the democrat&republican PARTY.
$37 TRILLION DOLLARS and climbing, and you will still vote for the republican&democrat PARTY...what's that old saying about doing the same thing over and over again, and getting the same result.
I share your concerns about the debt and wish you the best. That said, I see very important distinctions between Trump/Trumpism and these delusional Marxists, only one of which I highlighted above.
If a viable alternative appears that does something about this very dangerous debt level in addition to the rending of societal fabric based on identity and now political violence, I'll be behind you 100%. But the truth is we live in the world that is, not the world we wish to be.
The alternative is to get rid of the democrat&republican PARTY that is responsible for THAT debt, not continuing to vote for your republican&democrat tyrannts.
How?
Well, NoVaCloudDev, you can read my book, "The Separation of Corporation and State" subtitled "Common Sense and the Two-Party Crisis" available on Amazon. In the 260 pages of my book I explain how.
Thank you.
@Lebo- over and over again. Like what you just did in your tirade I couldn't understand a single thing you said.
I am an American I am NOT a republican&democrat voter.
$37 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt because of the democrat&republican PARTY do you understand that kittnana?
If you ARE A democrat&republican voter it is too difficult for you to understand anything not written by the republican&democrat PARTY and their propagandists.
Hence, why I say the dumbest people in America are the democrat&republican voter. They are TOO brainwashed to understand anything not spoon fed to them by their republican&democrat PARTY.
Thanks for proving that truism kittynana.
P.S. Kittynana, for most democrat&republican voters they cannot challenge their own bias and are therefore, forever stuck being a republican&democrat voter who steps into a voting booth and checks off all the d's or r's without a thought. Hence, the dumbest people in America.
Some of us have critical thinking skills and actually use them. Clearly, as you are pointing out, not all.
Exactly...like democrat&republican voters.
The problem is that we have to live in the real world. There is no alternative to D or R, other than to go live in the bush. GOP is is, and they've been doing a good job the last nine months.
The transgender violence has been going on for years. Trannies were a major component of Antifa back in 2020. Andy Ngo has been documenting tranny violence on this X account for years.
Thank you so much for explaining with your usual elegance the nature of the social contract in our country. And how it has been violated. And how to proceed forward with grace and truth.
Chris, about the term "anti-fascists." Of course, as freedom-loving Americans we are against fascism. Antifa has, like the left always does, misappropriated a term to their advantage. I think if we refuse to call them "anti-fascists" (especially when they are the epitome of fascistic!) and only call them Antifa - or better, let's create a new moniker, Antifa Domestic Terrorists, ADT - we can potentially get control of the narrative on this one. The point is that they are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, and that is what must be hammered home publicly.
On point and direct, as always Chris. Thank you.
As horrified as I am at this murder and the impact on America of the last ten years or so, I do worry about the development of policies in the immediate aftermath of these types of events. Emotion seldom leads to healthy policies and bad policies often lead to their own even more pronounced harms. I think we need to be cautious and thoughtful about the “solutions” to the actions of one individual, even if those actions may have been heavily influenced by others. Someday, the other party will control whatever mechanisms are put in place today - building increased government power, however directed initially, is unlikely to preserve the America I grew up in and treasure.
@Peter- agreed but the right tends to be more controlled in its actions than the left lately. I mean, the bullets are literally flying from one direction.
Hear, hear! We're still living under the panopticon furthered by the Patriot Act.
Amen to that.
The media has been looking for a way to spin this for a week and, until now, unsuccessfully. For days they have told their listeners and readers that Robinson was MAGA. Half the country believed this poling showed, but it wasn't sticking, it was too superficial.
The left wing media also had no answer for the cold, heartless and hateful postings of their side celebrating Kirk's murder - it made them look really bad. So they just did not cover it, or claimed it wasn't true.
But now they have their angle, their deeper story. Matt Gutman led the way out of their troubles. Robinson is in fact one of them after all. He embraced all that they hold near and dear - most especially the transgenderism; the furry kink is just a bit more spice. He is a social justice warrior. There was a motive and it was noble. He was defending his lover's honor and goodness in the face of evil and hate - which you and I know as merely as normalcy - a man cannot become a woman or vice versa. Walter Kirn is 100% correct:

Watch the media narrative do a grand pirouette today. It began last night.
And here it is already last night from the noted psychologist: Montel Williams on CNN Thunderdome says the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination was "a love-torn child" likely in the throes of "his first real relationship and someone was disparaging the person he loved" and thus not "motivated politically"....
https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1968142189436739606
He like Mangione will now be lionized even more by young people on the left. They finally have their deeper narrative. Of course media voices will say he took it too far and that they don't condone violence, but that will be about as effective and unimportant at the statement of side effects in a pharmaceutical commercial. The main point will be that he is actually good and noble young man, deeply in love, driven to violence by the hate speech of Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk. In the end, his demise is their fault. Once again, they will be found guilty. Welcome to the Cultural Revolution...Mao must be smiling.
It's not surprising that Robinson will be welcomed into the pack of SJWs and lionized by their leprous mouthpieces and that he will be painted as a poor little naïf incited to murder by the Evil Far Right, that clownish caricature of a miniscule faction with zero power or influence, that colossal lie that gullible geeks everywhere have swallowed whole.
Yes to all points Christopher. We also have the potential of healing our nation’s mass diasphoria —a constitution that protects individual rights, leaves guns in possession of qualified citizens, and balances rhetorical excess with truth. We need all parties on alert to ensure it’s enforced.
Reading from Argentina. I am concerned for Agustín Laje, Nicolás Márquez, and Pablo Muñoz Iturrieta. They represent the Latin American equivalent of Kirk, standing as warriors in this cultural battle. Now more than ever, it is essential to keep Charly’s voice alive.
The left is so blinded by their rhetoric of hate that they don’t see calling someone a fascist without any merit as anything but the truth. When confronted to prove that statement, leftists never present to the country with evidence of any merit. I don’t believe the people cheering this murder EVER saw a video of Charlie Kirk giving a speech or visiting Campuses. They respond like the sheeple they are in life. Cancel them wherever they are and let them know it.
Not "without merit", but I would be happy to present to you my list of evidence that the MAGA movement is fascist. If you're interested.
I watched hundreds of Charlie Kirk videos, if it matters. And I'm not a "Leftist."
Blah blah blah
That is what I would expect from a MAGA cultist.
Says the Woke white leftist who supports open borders, the war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes, and the demonization of “Whiteness!” to promote white guilt to gain support for things like reparations and equity. You people are insane. Big time. Super big time.
Uh huh. That's your easy out, to call anyone who points out your slavish adoration of a petty narcissist as a "Woke white leftist". Actually, I'm none of those three things. But doesn't matter, does it? What matters is: someone to hate.
I do enjoy reading these comments, because it reveals so much.
Charlie’s assassination on top of the murder of the young woman on the train which the left tried to ignore shows pretty clearly that we’ve passed the point of no return.
Megyn says we should all watch the video of the reaction of the young woman stabbed on the train. I agree. There’s a look of horror on her face as she looks up at the black man who stabbed her, then she realizes she’s been badly injured, then slides off the seat to the floor and dies. The other video shows this plus audio of the man saying “She called me a n**ger.” She obviously didn’t. He picked up that idea from the democrats who often claim an attack on a white person by a black is most likely due to being called a n**ger. Democrats are evil and insane.

I agree: the Iryna Zarutska stabbing was horrible. She was totally innocent and she died for no reason, at the hands of a mentally ill individual who should not have been on the streets.
I notice you forgot the murder of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their golden retriever by Vance Boelter: a Republican, an evangelical Christian, and a fervent Trump supporter. He had a list of 70 other people he planned to kill. I figure, following your logic, that Republicans, evangelical Christians, and Trump supporters are evil and insane: right? I mean, that's where he got his ideas. Just makes sense.
Do you suppose we should allow them to apologize, or just take away their Constitutional rights immediately?
There are certain things very obvious about race and the left in America. There is nothing punished more than anti-black racism. There is nothing punished least than racism by blacks. You dodged the fact that Iryna Zarutska was murdered by a black man because she was white. I live in Chicago where black racial attacks on white people, often women, are common and obviously hate crimes yet are never classified as hate crimes because according to your despicably evil Democratic Party only white people can be racist.

And you dodged the fact that there was no Democratic Party that urged the assailant to attack Zarutska, or any other person. Because you are so full of hatred, you're so eager to attach the actions of a certifiably mentally ill man to half the fucking nation. I can see the concentration camps in your eyes: will you feel better, perhaps, when "we" (your fellow Americans) are locked up?
It's interesting that the most important part of this murder, for you, wasn't the innocence of the victim but her skin color-- and that of her assailant. I notice that I said nothing about skin color, but you've made it the focus of your points twice. I guess maybe you don't feel like you need to be ashamed of it anymore.
Oh but please do lecture me about identity politics. Also, I'm not a Democrat.
“there was no Democratic Party that urged the assailant to attack Zarutska,”
Why do so many blacks hate whites? Heather MacDonald from City Journal can explain that. Why do so many on the left consider this acceptable? Does America even still exist as a country?
“Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”
“Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.”
After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US.

And I'm not a "Leftist."
If it quacks like a duck, it a duck. The proof is in the pudding.
"I don't agree with you." = must be a Leftist. "We so LOVE free speech... but also, don't you dare disagree with us, or we will hunt you down."
LOL.
Fascism is on the far left. Mussolini, who really created fascism, was a socialist from when he first got involved in politics until the day he died. All fascists want the government to control everything. And that is what Mussolini did when he ran the Italian government.
This is true. Fascism and Communism are in fact the two sides of the authoritarian coin. The far right would be Anarchy, total freedom.
This is a pathetic lie that no serious historian supports. Wikipedia begins "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology..."
And anyway, your guy is doing nothing but using the government to try and "control everything". I suppose its OK because you like it?
That is ridiculous! Authoritarian is the very definition of the left wing!
Authoritarianism is not specific to the left or the right. There have been left-wing dictatorships (Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot) and right-wing dictatorships (Hitler, Franco, Pinochet). The fact that there are authoritarian extremes does not mean that people on the right (or left) are authoritarian: just that it's a danger.
But I'm a little disturbed at this new pseudo-scholarship that attempts to rewrite fascist history. You would have a hard time explaining why Mussolini and Hitler identified themselves as right-wing, or why they went out of their way to target left-wing groups. But I guess with Dunning-Kruger you can accomplish anything.
Hitler and Mussolini certainly were socialists. Socialists are normally called left wing.
The teachers’ unions deserve federal retribution for contributing to dangerous ideology.
