FCC Launches UNPRECEDENTED REVIEW OF ABC Stations After Kimmel’s “Expectant Widow” Jab

The federal government is cracking down on ABC’s broadcast licenses in direct response to Jimmy Kimmel’s latest vile comments, this time on First Lady Melania Trump. 

The FCC, under Trump appointee Brendan Carr, is directing eight Disney-owned TV stations to file early license renewals tied explicitly to Kimmel’s “expectant widow” monologue that he may have gotten away with had an assassination attempt against Trump not occurred on the same day.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung was forthright In a post on X, declaring “Jimmy Kimmel is a shit human being for: Making a disgusting joke about assassinating the President. Doubling down on that joke instead of doing the decent thing by apologizing. ABC needs to fire him immediately and he should be shunned for the rest of his life.”

The controversy erupted after Kimmel, during a skit on his show last Thursday portraying himself as master of ceremonies for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, told Melania Trump: “Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

The Latest Trump Assassination Attempt, How Media Narratives Fuel Violence

The April 25, 2026 attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was the fifth documented attempt against President Donald Trump in less than a decade. The first, largely forgotten by the media, came in 2016, when Michael Steven Sandford attempted to seize an officer’s weapon at a Trump rally in Las Vegas.

The most widely remembered was Thomas Matthew Crooks opening fire at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024, killing one rallygoer and grazing Trump’s ear, producing the iconic photograph of Trump raising his fist and shouting “Fight, fight, fight.” Between the fourth and fifth attempts on the president’s life, conservative Christian commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated while engaging students in open dialogue on a university campus.

The media enabled violence against both men through sustained false framing. Trump was portrayed for years as a Russian asset and a threat to democracy. Using out-of-context quotes and selective framing, the media painted Kirk as a racist and a homophobe. Some on the left called for the deaths of both men and celebrated when Kirk was killed.

The media campaign against Trump began before his first election. On September 23, 2016, reports surfaced that U.S. authorities were investigating Trump campaign figure Carter Page for possible ties to Russian influence operations. This was the first public story directly linking a Trump associate to Russia. Fusion GPS, the opposition-research firm hired by the Clinton campaign, had directed Christopher Steele to share his findings with the media as early as mid-September 2016, weeks before the election.

On October 7, 2016, DHS and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper issued a public statement attributing the hacking of Democratic officials and the WikiLeaks releases to Russian intelligence acting to benefit Trump. On January 10, 2017, BuzzFeed published the Steele dossier in full, the same day Jeff Sessions’s confirmation hearing began, triggering wall-to-wall media saturation of the Russia narrative. The FBI’s own investigation, Crossfire Hurricane, had been formally opened on July 31, 2016, though the Durham Report later concluded it lacked an adequate factual basis.

The Russia narrative, the claim that Trump was a foreign-installed puppet being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin, ran for Trump’s entire first term and shaped two impeachment proceedings. The Mueller Report found no evidence of criminal conspiracy. The Durham Report concluded the FBI launched its investigation without an adequate factual basis and applied a double standard not applied to the Clinton campaign. The narrative collapsed only after nearly three years of continuous coverage built on material that, as Durham confirmed, lacked a factual foundation from the start.

Despite Russiagate collapsing, the media still runs with it from time to time, ostensibly on slow news days. However, Trump’s second term has been more acutely shaped by media framing him as a tyrant and a threat to democracy. The Intercept ran a 2024 piece arguing Trump “represents an existential threat to democracy” and that the warning “must be repeated, over and over again.” NPR aired a segment in which a political scientist argued the press had an “obligation” to cover Trump as a threat to democracy in the same way it covers climate change, with no opposing view presented.

ABC Not Firing Jimmy Kimmel After Melania ‘Widow’ Comments Feels Like Network Flipping Off Millions

Liberal TV network ABC has ignited volcanic backlash by refusing to fire “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel, who is continuing to recklessly incite violence against conservatives.

In refusing to curb Kimmel’s dangerous rhetoric, ABC made clear not only its toxic left-wing bias, but also its disregard for public safety and national security.

The brouhaha erupted on April 23, when Kimmel flippantly joked about the multiple assassination attempts on President Donald Trump by referring to first lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow.”

Kimmel made the inane comments while performing a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner skit on his late-night talk show.

During the sketch, the left-wing foghorn pretended to be speaking to attendees.

“Our first lady Melania is here… so beautiful,” Kimmel said. “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

This jab ignited renewed criticism when another presidential assassination attempt occurred two days later at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C.

On Monday, the first lady urged ABC to finally take a stand against political violence by ousting Kimmel.

“Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country,” she wrote on X.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.”

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand,” Melania said.

Grand jury indicts ex-FBI boss James Comey on charges related to photo alleged to threaten Trump

A federal grand jury in North Carolina on Tuesday indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges related to his posting of a photo of shells on a beach with the inscription “86-47” that prosecutors alleged was a threat to President Donald Trump.

The charges will be unveiled at a DOJ news conference at 4 p.m. ET, officials said.

It is expected that one of the charges will fall under a statute that prohibits a person from “knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President.”

The charges, first reported by CNN, mark the second time Comey has been indicted during this administration.

The earlier indictment in Virginia was dismissed amid legal scrutiny over the qualifications of then-acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

Reports broke in March that Comey had received a subpoena as part of a “grand conspiracy” probe by the DOJ.

Comey became a figure of national notoriety in 2016 after he announced that the FBI had reopened an investigation into then-former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a move that many have said swung the election to President Donald Trump.

‘The View’ Relish Trump and His Cabinet ‘Felt the Fear’ for Their Lives During WHCD, in Push for Gun Control

During Monday’s airing of ABC’s The View, host Ana Navarro led her co-hosts in relishing that President Donald Trump and his Cabinet “felt the fear” of death during Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and might now be more open to gun control.

Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck posted an excerpt from the Disney-owned talk show, in which Navarro expressed bewilderment that Congress did not pass gun control after the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. She then added, “But maybe now, that they have felt the fear themselves, they will do something.”

Navarro talked about the “important political leaders” who were at the White House Correspondents dinner and said, “Now they know, they’ve lived it in their own flesh, the fear that our school children go through.”

As Navarro talked, viewers could hear other hosts saying “yes” in agreement.

Breitbart News noted that Pennsylvania state Rep. and former Democratic Party Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta pushed a ban on “military-grade weapons” on Sunday, which was the day after the WHCD attack.

Kenyatta did not mention that the alleged WHCD attacker used a shotgun and pistol, neither of which were “military-grade weapons.” Therefore, the ban he proposed would not have prevented or even hindered the attack.

 Democratic Congressman Appears to Blame Trump for Repeat Assassination Attempts

Democrats want to talk about rhetoric, but they cannot escape one damning fact.

Regardless of who uses what words, the bullets have only flown in one direction.

In the wake of Saturday’s alleged assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois told CNN’s Pamela Brown that Trump bears special responsibility for the inflamed passions that have produced such acts of violence.

First, Brown played a clip of Trump commenting on political violence in general before blaming Democrats in particular.

Then, the CNN host asked the congressman for his comment.

“I think that definitely the rhetoric needs to cool,” Krishnamoorthi said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “But remember his own rhetoric has inflamed the discourse in a way that we haven’t seen before.”

Democrat Congressman’s Slanderous Comments About Trump Come Back to Haunt Him After Deranged Terrorist Tries to Take Out the President 

A Democrat congressman who slandered President Trump earlier this year is being destroyed on X after a deranged terrorist seemingly inspired by his words tried to assassinate the president and members of the administration over the weekend.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a heavily armed man stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton Saturday night, sprinted past a Secret Service checkpoint and shot a Secret Service agent.

The shooter, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, was taken into custody and charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.

Then, on Sunday, it was revealed that Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “p*dophile, r*pist” Trump.

It should come as no surprise that Allen was partially taking his cues from Democrat politicians. Conservatives on X on Sunday uncovered a video of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) accusing Trump of being a child r*pist during a press conference in February.

“Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files thousands and thousands of times,” Lieu says in the resurfaced video. “In those files, There’s highly disturbing allegations about Donald Trump r*ping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.”

These words have now come back to bite Lieu. Americans, including a former U.S Senate candidate, quickly took to X to call for him to be expelled from Congress and arrested.

Shorter Pritzker: Trump Deserved It, and I’ll Justify It by Completely and Hilariously Wrecking Myself

J.B. Pritzker’s contemptible reaction to the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner was about as bad as one can imagine, but things devolved into a complete and hilarious self-own when Pritzker’s “Trump started it” rationale was lost in the blur of his own memory. 

Only long-time, discerning readers of PJ Media will appreciate that the joke was on Pritzker.  And, I must say, it’s hard to write when you’re laughing at him so much. I’ll bravely press on, however.

Pritzker was interviewed on CNN Monday — that’s a day-and-a-half after the crazed leftist TDS-afflicted Democrat would-be killer attacked the White House Correspondents Dinner, where Trump was a featured speaker. That means the dieting Pritzker had plenty of time to compose and lose his thoughts in one of his fat rolls before he even thought to fact-check them. 

That’s a lot of time in politics. 

But here was Pritzker, urging CNN’s Manu Raju to adopt his premise that it was all Trump’s fault because he started it. And besides trying to get Raju to ignore all the times the Democrats have called for, organized, and fundraised for political violence, he spectacularly beclowned himself with the following exchange.

“Remember that it’s been Donald Trump and the Republicans that have called for political violence,” Pritzker straight-facedly told Manu Raju. And then, beckoning Raju to take his thought-journey with him, said, “You know, Donald Trump from the very beginning — remember when he talked about a protester at one of his rallies, that they should just beat him up, punch him…

Wisconsin High School Teacher Placed on Administrative Leave After Whining That Shooter Failed to Assassinate President Trump

A social studies teacher at Kaukauna High School has been caught openly lamenting that the latest deranged assassin didn’t manage to take out President Donald Trump.

Patrick Meyer, identified as the taxpayer-funded educator pushing his anti-Trump venom on social media, posted a now-deleted rant on X following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

According to screenshots shared by Libs of Tiktok, Meyer wrote:

“I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins. It’s f-king embarrassing. Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!”

U.S. Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI) responded on this outrageous tweet:

“This type of disgusting rhetoric has no place in our society and does not represent our values in #WI08. It is not the example that our teachers should be setting for Northeast Wisconsin students.”

‘Mad Men’ Star January Jones Accuses Trump of ‘Staging’ WHCD Assassination Attempt

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old Kamala Harris donor who attended a “No Kings” rally and wrote in a manifesto about targeting Trump administration officials, was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Mad Men actress January Jones, however, said it was all a staged political production.

“Do you have a boring dinner party coming up, and lots of losers and fake friends have rsvp’d? Are you looking for help staging a small scale low risk assassination attempt to get out of it? Look no further, the US Government is your man, call us now at 1-800-wehate-americans,” the actress said in an Instagram Stories post over the weekend.

Jones, of course, isn’t the only Hollywood elite spewing conspiracies about Saturday night shooting.

Actress Mia Farrow took to the left-wing echo chamber Bluesky and promoted the conspiracy that Allen’s attack may have been part of an effort by President Trump to “raise his approval ratings.”

“He is forcing us to wonder ‘he has lost a war he is unable to end & is now so desperate to raise his approval ratings, would he …..’ ?” Mia Farrow posted to the social media platform on Sunday morning, linking to an Economist article. Farrow includes quotes in her missive that don’t come from the article she links to.

Neither Farrow nor Jones added specificity about how exactly Allen was part of a Trump administration-backed conspiracy or when he was brought in to, as Jones says, stage Saturday’s attack. Allen did apologize to his family, friends, students, and other loved ones before he travel to Washington, D.C., and initiated his weeks-long plan of attack.
