Okay, Now Leftists Are Posting Hit Lists of the People They Want to Murder Next

The left is evil. The left is a gang of terrorists. If you have any lingering doubt about that, consider this: first they were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, but now leftists are making those celebrations look practically innocent. Hit lists have begun to appear on social media, as bloodthirsty leftists indulge their fantasies about which of their designated enemies they would like to see murdered next. And yes, there is no doubt whatsoever that the people who are openly displaying their bloodlust in this way think all the while that they occupy the moral high ground.

The Center Square reported Friday that “in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left.” Some of the principal names that keep recurring on the left’s death wish lists are some of the most prominent critics of the transgender madness: Joe Rogan, JK Rowling, Ben Shapiro, and Matt Walsh, as well as President Donald Trump, Libs of TikTok’s Chaya Raichik, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo.

Jasmine Crockett’s Pastor Mocks Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and Christian Faith – Then He Takes a “Temporary Medical Leave of Absence”

A pastor in Texas with connections to one of Congress’s most reprehensible members decided to use his position to dance on the grave of Charlie Kirk following his assassination. Now, he is conveniently taking time off for a supposed medical procedure.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, last week.

It was later revealed that the suspect was identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah. Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father, who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement.

A good pastor would use this opportunity to ask his fellow Christians to pray for the Kirk family. But Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, saw fit to not only make light of the Kirk assassination but also make fun of his faith in God.

One fascinating factoid about Haynes: he is the pastor of far-left, race-baiting Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Could Crockett have acquired some of her hatred from this supposed ‘man of God ‘?

“Have you thought about the fact that this week in Utah that a white “Christian” got killed by a white Christian?” Haynes asked his pew members on Sunday. “And the next day, HBCUs were under threat!”

“Now, how did we get here?” he continued, throwing up his arms in mock confusion. “Oh, that’s called white-on-white crime.”

Making light of an assassination and trashing someone’s faith can only cause Jesus to weep.

Vance Lays Out Data Showing Political Violence More Acceptable Among Far Left

Vice President JD Vance laid out polling data on Monday showing that political violence is considerably more acceptable among self-described “very liberal” Americans than it is among “very conservative” Americans.

Vance hosted The Charlie Kirk Show on Real America’s Voice from the White House on Monday and, in his closing, laid out some “difficult truths” America must confront if it wishes to reach a place of unity, citing worrying data from a YouGov poll.

The survey showed that 24 percent of self-identified “very liberal” respondents believe it is acceptable for someone “to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose.” In comparison, three percent of “very conservative” respondents felt the same as did ten percent of “liberal” respondents and four percent of “conservative” respondents.

The worrying trend continued when respondents were asked if political violence can be justified to achieve political goals. Of liberal respondents aged 18-44, 26 percent believe there are cases where political violence is a justifiable means to a political end. Seven percent of conservatives in the age range said the same, as did 12 percent of moderates.

“In a country of 330 million people, you can of course find one person of a given political persuasion justifying this or that, or almost anything, but the data is clear, people on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence,” Vance said of the data points.

“This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, one side has a much bigger and malignant problem, and that is the truth we must be told. That problem has terrible consequences,” he added.

After Charlie Kirk: Decency and the response to murder

The murder of Charlie Kirk has provided some lamentable insight into our current national politics, particularly on the left.

The left’s response to the murder is remarkable in several respects.

The first is the vitriol, the unhinged glee that some, obviously not all, on the left demonstrated in the response to the tragedy.

At the beginning of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky makes a helpful observation about human nature. The character Father Zossima, the Orthodox elder, remarks:

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.

…

The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone […] he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness.

Many on the left have been lying to themselves, or willingly indulging in lies that are told to them.

These lies concern the moral superiority of abstract ideologies, the base motives and bad character of those who disagree with them, and the wildly inflated sense of the popularity of their views.

They credulously embraced caricatures of what people like Mr. Kirk actually believed and held them so tightly as to be impervious to contrary evidence. They “reveled in their resentment.”

As a result, many on the left felt not only justified, but reassured, that they were not only morally justified, but were in the overwhelming majority, and that no untoward consequences could possibly result from rejoicing in an atrocity. They expected, at worst, approval of the substance and discomfort at the tone.

The worldwide response has instead left them confused and disoriented. Their callousness was not lauded for its edgy “truth.” Instead, many revelers who could be restrained neither by common decency nor common sense, found themselves fired from their jobs, mocked on social media, and the objects of censure and condemnation.

Lies that people tell themselves are the most difficult to dispel. Doing so not only corrects an inaccurate perception but wounds the pride, and can shatter the structure on which people build their self-esteem and sense of worth. It is difficult to admit that one’s sense of superiority was based on an untruth.

As a result, the secondary response in some precincts of the left has been to cast about for further fabrications from their shaken worldview.

They declaim their fear of an inchoate backlash from hateful hooligans. They charge that they are the victims of unjust cancel culture. The demand preemptive restraint, voluntary and otherwise, against their adversaries. Self-reflection seems not to have occurred to them.

The claim that those on the left who lose their jobs or face any kind of uncomfortable consequences for their behavior in the wake of Mr. Kirk’s death betrays a lack of understanding of a free society.

Ohio Republican claims Democratic Party ‘actually killed Charlie’ Kirk

A Republican congressman accused Democrats of killing Charlie Kirk while simultaneously pleading with liberals to ‘lower this rhetoric to a normal place.’

Kirk, 31, the conservative activist founder of Turning Point USA, was shot while speaking at a Utah college last week. Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody as a suspect in the murder, and the FBI announced on Monday that his DNA has been linked to evidence in the case.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on Monday that investigators were able to retrieve text messages from the shooter, including an exchange ‘in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.’

Reports indicate that Robinson’s roommate was a male who was transitioning, and that the bullets in the gun allegedly used to kill Kirk contained, suggesting the reason behind the murder may be political in nature, though authorities have not released a motive.

A major figure on the right, Kirk’s death immediately evoked a buffet of emotions on Capitol Hill, including fear, anger, deep sadness and loss. Both Democrats and Republicans have mourned the young father of two’s passing last week.

Since the public and tragic assassination, lawmakers have also been in a frenzy to tone down the extreme language peddled by politicians on both sides of the aisle.

But some, while calling for calmer political rhetoric, have inflamed the national dialogue.

Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, went on Fox Business on Monday and said that Democrats are to blame for Kirk’s assassination.

The ‘Progressive’ Left – The ‘Democratic’ Party – Has Shown You Exactly Who They Are

When Andrew Breitbart died, someone I knew responded to my Facebook post about it with a nasty celebration of it. When I responded that he was actually a good friend of mine and told that person not only where they could go straight to, but what they could do to themselves on the way, I quickly received a phone call from them apologizing. They “hadn’t realized” that I was actually friends with him, as if that made them being a sociopathic asshole cheering someone’s death simply because they wouldn’t conform to the politics the “tolerant” left, somehow better. We’ve seen this again, but even more so, with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I let it slide with Andrew, the guy was young and I’d never really experienced anything like that before, so I was forgiving and wrote it off as an anomaly. Plus, I think Andrew would’ve laughed at the idea that he was still exposing “tolerant leftists” for the intolerant pieces of garbage they are, even in death.

While Andrew being in a better place was a comfort, that never overrides the sadness of losing a friend. While I can’t say I was good friends with Charlie Kirk, there was very little daylight on policies between him, me and millions upon millions of Americans who mostly want to be lef alone by the vacuous left. But the nature of “progressivism” is to not leave anyone alone – it demands obedience, not only of actions but of thought.

We refuse to obey, we refuse to conform, and they killed Charlie for it.

Yes, the shooter pulled the trigger, but every MSNBC guest to called a conservative a fascist carved their letters into the bullet casing. Every elected and media Democrat who chose to dehumanize rather than debate, looked through that scope. Every single person on the left who knew better, who saw this coming but found the inciting rhetoric politically useful and easier than making an argument for their positions steadied that killer’s hand. They all did this because they knew this was down the road they were traveling and did nothing to stop it.

Evil Dem Connected to Virginia Gubernatorial Nominee Says Charlie Kirk Deserved to Die

Charlie Kirk, one of the most prominent conservative voices in America, was assassinated on September 10 while delivering a speech to students. 

He was a husband, a young father, and the founder of the largest conservative student organization in the nation. 

His murder should have been met with silence, mourning, or at the very least human decency. Instead, it was met with cruelty.

Only days after Kirk’s assassination, Jasmine Frye—a staffer tied to Virginia’s Democrat gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger—took to social media to celebrate his death. 

“F around and find out,” she wrote. “His entire brand was hate and violence. You attract what you preach.” 

These are not the words of an anonymous agitator. Frye works inside Virginia politics, a state with national attention and one of the most competitive races in the country. 

Spanberger is campaigning to govern more than 8.5 million people. 

Yet her campaign has not condemned Frye’s remarks. Not a single word of disavowal. And in a moment like this, silence is not neutrality—it is complicity.

The claim that Kirk somehow “attracted” violence is false. 

He was targeted for doing what he had done thousands of times before: speaking to young people on a college campus. 

He was killed because he gave students an alternative to progressive ideology. 

His so-called “brand,” as Frye dismissively labeled it, was built on empowering students, defending constitutional freedoms, and challenging institutional leftism. To suggest that such work makes someone deserving of assassination is to endorse political violence.

This is not an isolated case. We are watching a pattern develop where left-wing activists and even political staffers openly justify violence if the victims are conservative.

Unhinged Democrats Claim Moving To A Small Town To Raise Your Kids And Bring In Jobs Makes You A White Supremacist

Ninety minutes from the noise and congestion of Nashville, nestled in the quiet hills and secluded hollers of the Upper Cumberland, sits historic Gainesboro, Tennessee. A town of about one thousand people in a county of more than 12,000, Gainesboro is like many bucolic little towns in this region: peaceful, safe, almost like taking a time machine back to the ’90s in all the best ways. These attributes drove me to move my family and my real estate business here after years in urban hubs.

Having grown up just down the Cumberland River in rural Trousdale County, the last thing I expected to encounter after moving to Jackson County was an organized, resourced, and aggressive progressive faction attempting to make inroads into the community.

If I stumbled onto a network like this in my small town, it could be happening in your small town too.

If you followed the Nashville press last year, you probably saw the storyline. NewsChannel 5’s Phil Williams ran a series about “Christian nationalists” coming to rural Jackson County, replete with ominous music and interviews cherrypicked to stoke fear.

I run a rural real-estate company. We buy old properties, fix them up, and invite customers to rediscover small-town life. Yet in that initial media onslaught, my company was presented as a caricature (“Menace arrives in Mayberry!”). We don’t blame any good faith locals who initially fell for it — big-city camera crews are disruptive in many ways. But we do blame the well-oiled operation behind it all.

These reports targeted two of my customers who have a right-wing political talk show. They’ve never spoken on behalf of my company, RidgeRunner, but the Nashville reporter attempted to paint their political commentary as somehow defining how our company runs its business. Along the way, Williams made numerous factual errors: calling us a “Christian nationalist developer,” which we aren’t; erroneously labeling us as “an out of state developer,” which is ironic given his reporting about our company’s headquarters in Gainesboro (not to mention my Tennessee roots).

Whatever you think of the customers featured in the report, the motive of the reporting was obvious — baselessly tar newcomers (and anyone near them) as misogynists, racists, fascists, and use other typical smears from corporate media. Of course, all these accusations couldn’t be farther from the truth. And they weren’t harmless lies. In the aftermath of the TV reporting, the customers that Williams targeted received credible death threats from Antifa types out of Nashville. Some of my employees, customers, and I had our addresses doxxed by liberals in local Facebook groups.  

Many locals saw right through it, but some people were scared. And most of all, the Nashville audience enjoyed having all their priors confirmed about the “scary,” “backward” rural heart of Tennessee.

Ongoing Hate Campaign of the Democrat Apparatus ‘Led Directly’ to Charlie Kirk Assassination

The political assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is the result of the ongoing hate campaign of the Democrat apparatus — an apparatus that has been charging full steam ahead with this dark rhetoric for the last decade — Andy Surabian, adviser to both Vice President JD Vance as well as Donald Trump Jr. said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

“We are not talking about a flippant comment where one elected Democrat, you know, here or there, you know, called President Trump a fascist, or Charlie Kirk a Nazi, you know, or so be it,” Surabian, a friend of Kirk’s, said.

“We are talking about a coordinated messaging campaign that has been going on for the last decade, that has been coordinated between Democrat nonprofits —  places like Media Matters — Democrat politicians, Democrat donors, Democrat political operatives,” he explained.

“Ok, this has been an ongoing messaging campaign to castigate 50 percent of the country as Nazis and fascists. So we’re not talking about a flippant comment from some random,” he emphasized, making it clear this is not about a singular offhand statement.

“We are talking about the talking points that come out of the Democrat apparatus that has been — this has been going on now for 10 years — where they are repeatedly doing this over and over again, purposely, all these groups, we know all these groups are coordinating,” he said.

Surabian said all one has to do to see an example is look at Media Matters’ website, look at Charlie Kirk, and “read the archive of all their, all their vicious smears and disgusting lies they put out about him, and then see how the Democrat politicians and media figures repeat those lies.”

“This has been donor-funded. Ok. This is donor-funded. This has been activated by operatives and media figures and repeated by Democrat politicians for a decade now,” he said, making it clear that this has been an “ongoing campaign to label anyone associated with Donald Trump a Nazi, and it’s evil.”

“I can’t repeat this enough. This is not a case of a flippant comment. This is not a case of somebody getting a little overzealous with their commentary. …. No no no. This is coming from the very top of the Democrat Party. The biggest donors, the Democrat think tanks, nonprofits, and politicians are funding this stuff,” he said.

A Turning Point For The Radical Left?

Charlie Kirk’s assassination will mark the moment the cultural tide turned.

It was a few minutes before 3pm on September 10th, I had just joined a Zoom call with Addison Wiggin for our weekly planning session around a book project we’re working on. Moments after I joined he said “Oh my God, Charlie Kirk has just been shot  – at an event in Utah”.

We talked a bit about the ramifications of what this could set off – and speculated on whether he would pull through.

Later in our call we learned he had succumbed to his wounds, and the symbology was not lost on me: it was the day before Sept 11th, one of those dates everybody remembers exactly where they were.

Because what was certain then was that the world had just changed. We were in a whole new ballgame, uncharted territory, and we’re still in it today.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination feels similar. Most people had never heard him speak—and are now forming their opinions from whatever their preferred media mouthpiece says.

Given the left-wing, illiberal stranglehold on media and culture, none of it is flattering. Conservatism is routinely conflated with the “far-right”  (whatever that means these anymore) and is treated as ipso facto morally reprobate.

The Left Dances on Charlie’s Grave.

The hot-takes poured out within minutes, showing exactly where the lefties wanted to steer the narrative:

  • MSNBC host Matthew Dowd initially speculated that the shot may have come from “a supporter, shooting in celebration” but later pivoted to, (paraphrasing) “Awful people, say awful things to awful consequences”.
  • Rachel Gilmore (basically Canada’s Taylor Lorenz) – ruminated that Kirk being murdered by what turned out to be a radical antifa-aligned leftist might make the “the far right more extreme”.
  • Democrat politicians like Mark Kelly were quick to link the shooting to escalating political rhetoric
  • Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also pointed to the Jan 6 protestors – but omitted the two attempted assassinations on Trump that occurred since.

None of this should be a surprise – the West’s political and ideological left have absolutely no capacity for introspection and barely measurable levels of empathy.

What is surprising, to the left, is the knock-on consequences to their shameful behaviours from a corporate and popular spheres that have had enough with the old zeitgeist  and the cultural pendulum is now swinging the other direction, with a vengeance.

The End of “Diplomatic Immunity” for the Far-Left

Since COVID—and the old order’s failed lunge at a global social-credit technocracy —the public has steadily lost faith in industrial-era institutions:  Big Government, Corporate Media, and late-stage globalism (ESG, DEI, and the rest of it).

The pendulum has swung back through the centre, hitting several key beats along the way—mostly in the form of nationalist or tribal populism.

Oct 7th

Many details of how Oct 7 happened remain baffling to me—but what mattered for the zeitgeist was the reaction by the radical left.

This marked the first real shift in popular opinion—though unevenly (in Canada, Hamas cheerleaders still shut down Toronto streets every weekend).

The backlash focused on academics and labour organizers openly celebrating the massacre, but even Meta—once quick to throttle anything smelling of “Trumpism”—turned its censorship machine the other way, deboosting Hamas content and demonetizing prominent accounts.

The Targeted Killing of Brian Thompson

The targeted murder of United Health CEO Brian Thompson in December ’24 further brought out the berserkers who were lionizing his assassin – but there began to be even more palpable pushback in the zeitgeist against these extremist positions.

Taylor Lorenz made headlines after defending and celebrating the murder, and faced severe criticism on social media platforms and some professional ostracizing, including being uninvited from industry panels and removed from contributor lists at several outlets.
