Politicians Go Out of Their Way To Make Political Tensions Worse

At the Arizona memorial service for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated two weeks ago, President Donald Trump acknowledged Kirk’s character, saying, “he did not hate his opponents; he wanted the best for them.” And then he added, “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents. And I don’t want the best for them.”

It was an honest moment if an awkward comment to make at a memorial service for a man murdered (to all appearances) by a political opponent. Like too much of the political class across the ideological spectrum, Trump is prone to despising those he disagrees with. It raises questions about why people should ever submit to the governance of those who hate them—and whether politicians realize that they’re a big part of what brought us to this unfortunate moment.

“It’s long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree,” Trump had told the nation on the day of Kirk’s assassination at a kinder and, perhaps, more self-aware moment. “This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.”

In truth, that day Trump also put the blame for Kirk’s murder on “the radical left” and promised to “find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence,” hinting at something nastier than a criminal investigation. But for a moment, the president seemed to recognize that hating political opponents and wishing them ill might have unhappy consequences. For a moment.

Why did the BBC call Charlie Kirk ‘far right’?

‘Mr Kirk built a huge and devoted following for his far-right views’, said the BBC’s North America editor Sarah Smith on Sunday. The statement came during the BBC’s coverage of Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Arizona, which was attended by tens of thousands of mourners and was addressed by US president Donald Trump.

Smith’s statement is nothing short of astonishing. It would be one thing for blue-haired keyboard warriors on Bluesky to be referring to dead conservatives as fascists. But it is quite another for the UK’s state broadcaster to toe that same line. The BBC pays Smith more than £200,000 a year to report impartially on American affairs. We would hope someone in her esteemed position might pause for thought before smearing a man who was killed for his beliefs.

The BBC isn’t alone in painting Kirk as ‘far right’. In the days following his murder, mainstream media rushed to portray him and his views as beyond the pale. The Guardian, like the BBC, described Kirk as ‘far right’, as well as a man who ‘stood for the darker themes of… US nativism’. The New York Times accused Kirk of leading a ‘hard-right youth movement’. It was also forced to make a correction after falsely attributing an anti-Semitic quote to him.

Needless to say, this is all pretty grotesque. Kirk has just been murdered – seemingly by a genuine extremist. Wittingly or not, smearing him as a fascist, dehumanising him in death, comes dangerously close to justifying or at least sanitising his killing.

In truth, none of Kirk’s political stances could be seen as ‘far right’ in any other time except the strange epoch we live in. Defending the US First Amendment, opposing abortion, being in favour of meritocracy and insisting that men cannot become women are not unusual stances for Christian conservatives or US Republicans. You do not have to agree with these positions to recognise they do not make someone far right.

The best mathematical breakdown of the “Man of Steel” theory I have seen

Earlier tonight, I brought you the stunning report that Charlie Kirk had no exit wound because he had “super bones”.

(Article by Noah republished from WLTReport.com)

That a rough paraphrase, but the full report was here in case you missed it:

“Man of Steel”: Coroner Says No Exit Wound Because Bullet Stopped By Charlie Kirk’s Incredibly “Healthy and Dense” Bones

Now I want to advance the story because this is the best analysis I have seen so far.

All credit to Mike Adams for this one, who I believe addressed this very respectfully but also scientifically and mathematically.

Here is Mike’s analysis of the “Superman” claims:

NARRATIVE-BUSTING FACTS: A .30-06 rifle round produces around 3,000+ foot-pounds of energy when fired. (With some loads, it’s even higher.)

This amount of energy can lift a 3,000-lb. object one foot high (hence the name of the unit).

The diameter of a .30-06 Springfield bullet…

NARRATIVE-BUSTING FACTS: A .30-06 rifle round produces around 3,000+ foot-pounds of energy when fired. (With some loads, it’s even higher.)

This amount of energy can lift a 3,000-lb. object one foot high (hence the name of the unit).

The diameter of a .30-06 Springfield bullet is .308 inches (7.82 mm).

This means the actual area of the skin that is struck by the bullet is 0.0745 square inches (pi formula, remember?).

So a .30-06 rifle round delivers 3,000 foot-pounds of energy (or slightly less, as it slows very slightly after leaving the barrel) to an area of human skin that is 0.0745 square inches in total area, which is about the diameter of your pinky finger.

There is no bone in the human body that can survive 3,000 foot-pounds of energy directed into such a small area. Only Wolverine could survive it, but he’s not real.

Anyone who thinks that neck skin, tissue or even bones can stop and absorb such a large amount of energy moving through such a tiny area of tissue is truly delusional. Yet this is now what we’re being told by the same people who claim we should also believe the lone shooter theory.

IMPORTANT: If his neck absorbed 3,000 foot-pounds of energy, the energy had to have gone somewhere. Newton’s laws of motion, duh. High school science. Where did the energy go? Kinetic energy doesn’t just vanish because you wish it away. Low-IQ narrative swallowers failed high school physics.

3,000 foot-pounds of energy is enough to hurl a person the size of Charlie 15 feet into the air, assuming the pressure were applied evenly across his entire body (and assuming he weighed around 200 pounds).

That didn’t happen. The energy vanished. And we’re told his neck stopped 3,000 foot-pounds of energy because Charlie was “healthy.”

There are no doubt a whole bunch of orthopedic surgeons losing their s–t over this claim right now. They know what bones can sustain… and what they can’t. No human neck stops a .30-06 round and absorbs all its energy with no exit wound. Never happened, never will. The physics and anatomy make it impossible. Nobody is Wolverine, and Charlie isn’t Superman (with all due apologies for mixing DC and Marvel universes).

The math ain’t mathin, in other words.

As I said, very respectful and very well-reasoned analysis.

Megyn Kelly Offers Shocking Update on Witches Hired by ‘Jezebel’ to Curse Charlie Kirk Days Before His Assassination

As the Gateway Pundit reported, in the days before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the far-left website ‘Jezebel’ hired witches to put a hex on Kirk.

Megyn Kelly has a shocking and downright creepy update on this. According to Kelly, Charlie and Erika Kirk heard about this before Charlie was killed and were genuinely ‘rattled’ by the news, especially Erika. Being Christians, they believed this was a genuine threat and had a friend come over to pray with them for Charlie’s protection.

Kelly also shares details about how the people associated with the hexing were impatient for the spell to work. However you look at this situation, it was an act of pure evil.

From Megyn Kelly’s website:

When I was out in Arizona last week I learned that, two weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the far left website Jezebel declared that it had a mission to cast bad luck or a curse on Charlie. They wanted to hurt him in some way. They declared, “If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.”

Jezebel went onto the online marketplace Etsy – yes, Etsy – to “cast a curse” on him. This is actually a thing. Etsy, the website known for making arts and crafts on demand, will happily cast a hex on someone through its ‘witches’ if you ask them to…

The writer asked, “Is it ethical to curse a man I’ve never met? Probably not. But is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes.”…

She told the reader she placed her first spell on Etsy to “MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM” and wondered, “how long would it take to kick in?” The witch servicing her on Etsy contacted her and asked if she would like to “amplify the energetic support” of the spell for an extra $50. She did. And she had to provide Kirk’s date of birth for accuracy. The “witch” informed her she had performed the hex, and it was successful. Jezebel wanted to know when they would be getting results on their curse…

The witch, they reveal, promised on August 23 that “you will see the first results within two to three weeks.” That was 18 days before Charlie was killed.

Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh guilty on all charges, tries to stab himself in neck when verdict read

Ryan Routh has been found guilty on all charges in the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump. The decision was reached after two and a half hours of deliberation by a Florida jury. As the verdict was being read, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen. 

Fox News reported that when the verdict was being read, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen. The assassination attempt took place when Trump was out golfing in Florida last September, only a few weeks after a bullet had hit his ear when he was speaking to a crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to NBC News, Routh is facing life in prison when he is sentenced. The trial had lasted for around two weeks under the direction of US District Judge Aileen Cannon. Routh served as his own attorney in the case and delivered a closing argument claiming that there was no crime committed because he never fired a shot. 

Routh was found guilty of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and assaulting a federal officer.

Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA Partner Responds After Troll Calls His Death A “Psyop”

Charlie Kirk’s memorial was a monumental event attended by over 100,000 people at arena in Arizona. Over 100 million people accessed the livestream. A host of notable speakers including President Trump gave rousing speeches and it highlighted how massive the movement Kirk was an integral part of has become.

One detestable troll suggested, however, that it was overdone and resembled a “WWE script,” specifically the pyro introductions of the guests, including Charlie’s own widow Erika.

The insinuation seems to be that the memorial was too bombastic, or even some sort of fake “psyop”.

This is so f*cking stupid that it probably doesn’t deserve the attention of a response, but Kirk’s Turning Point USA colleague Andrew Kolvet decided to address the pyro question.

DOJ Charges Man For Trying to Take Down Marine One with Red Laser Pointer While Trump Was Onboard

The Justice Department on Monday charged a man for trying to take down Marine One with a red pointer laser on Saturday.

According to a legal complaint filed on Monday, the suspect, Jacob Samuel Winkler, pointed a red laser at Marine One while President Trump was onboard.

“The red laser beam hit Officer Santiago’s eyes and briefly disoriented him. At this time, Marine One flew at a relatively low height and directly above Officer Santiago and [Winkler’s] location. Marine One was close enough that the rotor noise was loud, and the aircraft appeared large overhead. Officer Santiago approached [Winkler] after being flashed in the face with the red laser. Upon approach, [Winkler] looked up, oriented the same red laser pointer at the direction of Marine One and activated the red laser beam,” the legal complaint said.

“From Officer Santiago’s training and experience, Officer Santiago immediately identified [Winkler’s] action as a danger to Marine One and everyone on-board. [Winkler’s] conduct posed a risk of flash blindness and pilot disorientation, especially during low-level flight near other helicopters (U.S. Park Police, U.S. Marine Corps) and the Washington Monument. This placed Marine One at risk of an airborne collision,” the complaint said.

Winkler was immediately put in handcuffs.

According to the complaint, after Winkler was handcuffed, he got on his knees and said, “I should apologize to Donald Trump,” and “I apologize to Donald Trump.”

“The defendant, Jacob Samuel Winkler, did knowingly aim the beam of a laser pointer at an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, or at the flight path of such an aircraft,” the complaint read.

Winkler was charged with 18 U.S. Code § 39A, a law that prohibits aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft.

Keith Olbermann just sunk Dems with his ‘spin’ on Charlie Kirk’s assassination…

We all know Keith Olbermann is a certifiable lunatic. This man doesn’t have Stage 5 TDS; he’s at Stage 500. His Trump Derangement Syndrome is so extreme, scientists could study it and write books about it.

But even though Keith is 3 sheets to the wind with his hatred for Trump, you’d think he’d have at least a shred of humanity left, right?

Wrong.

Olbermann did the unthinkable and managed to drag the already drowning Dem Party down do to the bottom of the sea with his latest video. In it, he defends Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, claiming it was nothing more than one man protecting the dude he loves.

Sadly, this isn’t a joke. He actually said it out loud.

Grabien News:

OLBERMANN: “Now that we can say with some certainty that if Tyler Robinson indeed shot Charlie Kirk, he shot him for personal reasons, because he saw Kirk as a direct threat to somebody he loved, that Robinson was not a stochastic proxy murderer from Antifa or the groypers or the right wingers who had so recently called Kirk a fraud, you know, like Laura Loomer. It is then also clear that there is truly only one person whose words created, amplified, mainstreamed and manufactured this nightmarish environment that has led to Charlie Kirk’s death. The leading threat in this country in this moment to the safety and the lives of conservatives and Republicans and MAGA commentators and politicians and civilians is not George Soros and it’s not Antifa and it’s not a Democrat or a liberal, nor a socialist nor an immigrant nor a transgendered person. The leading threat in this country, in this moment, to the safety and the lives of conservatives and Republicans and MAGA is Donald Trump.”

‘I hope he’s the first of many’: Trans activist pushes ‘bloody’ fight, urges others to rise up and murder Americans who think like Charlie Kirk

A transgender activist has issued a graphic call to assassinate other Americans who think like Charlie Kirk, the Christian conservative champion who was gunned down Sept. 10.

Video of the activist, whom social media users identify as Kimberly McNeely, a purported tarot-card reader from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, reveals a disturbing call for blood recorded a day after Kirk was struck by a bullet while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

“F*** Charlie Kirk,” the individual begins. “I don’t want to see people hurt. Nobody deserves that. Some people do deserve that. People whose lives are causing death and harm to others, they f***ing deserve it.

“I hope he’s the first of many because it’s not like our kindness, our empathy is keeping our people from getting killed. It’s not.”

“It’s time for minorities to stop being small, to stop being quiet, to stop being digestible. It’s time for minorities to rise the f*** up, to fight f***ing back. And sometimes fighting is messy, sometimes it’s bloody. And that’s the f***ing way it has to be. I’m not gonna apologize for that. I will die on this f***ing hill.

Charlie Kirk Versus Tyler Robinson: The Shooting Was Over the Battle for Free Speech

When he was shot, Charlie Kirk was answering questions at a TPUSA campus event, engaging in the very essence of what conservatives believe in – debate. He welcomed dissent and even gave priority for those who disagreed with him to “come to the front of the line”.

“Prove me wrong” was the message emboldened twice on the tent above Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, signaling that an open exchange of ideas was encouraged.

For Kirk, the marketplace of ideas was central to his understanding of democracy, where disagreements could be hashed out through conversation, persuasion, and ultimately, elections.

One of the defining traits of the modern left is its emotional inability to tolerate disagreement. Rather than engaging in debate, many leftists respond with outrage, dismissal, and personal or even physical attacks when confronted with opposing viewpoints.

For leftists, political differences are not seen as part of a democratic conversation but as threats to identity or morality, making dialogue itself unbearable.

This is why conservatives so often encounter friends or relatives who walk out of a room, hang up the phone, or sever relationships when faced with views that challenge their own.

Their reaction is not intellectual but emotional, rooted in a belief that opposition to their views is inherently “hate” and therefore intolerable.

Assassin Tyler Robinson’s behavior reflects the disturbing alternative leftist view. In a text exchange with transitioning boyfriend Lance Twigg, Robinson admitted to killing Kirk and justified it by first writing, “I had enough of his hatred”.
