It has been obvious Charlie Kirk’s assassin is steeped in progressive ideology. The WSJ confirms it today from investigators’ interviews with Robinson’s family. Now this. But the left must deny it because their narrative of virtue is more important than the truth.

These are all the murders in Washington, D.C. in 2024. I've drawn red lines to show the four quadrants of the city. The reporters and pundits on TV who tell you there's not a crime problem live in the Northwest Quadrant, mostly in Ward 3, well away from the crime, or they live in VA or MD.

One of the great problems I have with the left is that they want to exclude from society a lot of people with views and ideas the left finds terrible without the recognition that a lot of people disagree with them for reasonable reasons.

Some people maybe need to unplug from the internet and politics. They've turned unhealthy in their thinking. Without controlling the ring of power, they cannot handle life.
I’m going to be very honest and clear.
I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

When politics replaces religion, its worshippers look to explain disasters through politics. It becomes ghoulish casting blame on politicians you don’t like because of rain and flooding. But they can’t and don’t see it. It is idol worship.

A must read from The Atlantic on how the left has gotten itself into a bubble on gender research and the left believes many things that are simply not true. web.archive.org/web/20250701...

I’ve used ChatGPT and Perplexity to summarize news articles every afternoon to help me do a short podcast of major news developments. I had to go back to doing it myself because they started making up stories that simply didn’t exist even though I’d given them the links to summarize.
ChatGPT makes you dumber, your writing less original, and your output subject to corruption by people trying to make you look foolish. time.com/7295195/ai-c...

Democrats, consider this: your party leaders and the American press corps collaborated to get Donald Trump re-elected by gaslighting the public about Joe Biden until the CNN debate.

The collusion of the press and Democrats over 5 years to gaslight the American public over Joe Biden’s mental decline is worse than January 6th.

I’m glad Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have exposed the Democrats’ coverup of Biden. But the American press corps also needs to account for its role. Just answer the basic question: how did the press miss what 70% of Americans were concerned about in 2021?

To his credit, Joe Scarborough has been very open about getting this so wrong. It came months after the Hur report. But it is just more to show the press participated with the Democrats in protecting Biden.

Here is then CNN reporter Oliver Darcy amplifying media doubts about Robert Hur’s characterization of Joe Biden. www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/m.... It was across networks that reporters cast doubts. Today, we have the audio and can see Hur accurately described Biden. www.axios.com/2025/05/16/b...

Here is CNN’s Oliver Darcy attacking the credibility of the Wall Street Journal and its reporters for casting doubts on Biden. www.cnn.com/2024/06/06/m... and now CNN’s Jake Tapper calls the same reporters “heroic” for their coverage in that report.

It was not just Democrats who engaged in the coverup of Joe Biden’s decline, but the press corps. Until the press holds itself accountable for the collaboration, trust cannot be restored.

Progressives lost a general election — not just losing the electoral college, but the popular vote. What’s happening is not a “coup,” but the democratic process working against the people who convinced themselves only they could protect democracy. This is what rejection feels like.

Feel the need to come over to the other hell site just to point out there is no coup happening. Elections have consequences.

Mexico is a failed narco-terror state. Treating it as such should have been US policy years ago. Trump targeting the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is good. The fall out from the policy is necessary.

Seeing all these progressives on Bluesky, Twitter, etc. declare they’re breaking relations with family members who voted for Trump. It’s so easy when you don’t think you’ll be held accountable to God. You get to live life as you want, never having to love your neighbor if you don’t want to.

Daniel Dale, on CNN, insisted Trump was wrong about reservoirs in LA, but you can see the reservoir that covers the Palisades is dry even on Apple Maps. But who cares about the truth when the fact checker says the lie is the truth.
