Kimmel Suspended, The Fallout has only begun – Freedomist Source Link Excerpt:
Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely after claiming before a studio audience that the murderer of Charlie Kirk was a MAGA person. The claim is a violation of FCC rules that prohibit licensed broadcasters like ABC from publishing known lies (for it was known by then the killer was NOT MAGA) about news event that could incite violence.

A Texas Democrat is planning to file impeachment articles against President Donald Trump’s top law enforcement officials as a partisan slap flight plays out on the House floor this week.
Dueling censure resolutions are currently awaiting floor votes that could come as soon as Wednesday afternoon after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for comments made after the killing last week of activist Charlie Kirk. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) immediately countered with a measure targeting Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) who is subject to an ethics investigation and a restraining-order proceeding.
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and the Jesus Revolution: Did Kim Clement Predict It? – Charisma Magazine Online Source Link Excerpt:
Amid the catastrophic loss of Charlie Kirk, people across the nation are turning to God for answers in unprecedented numbers. One of the key questions now, is if this apparent revival for the Lord was foretold by the late prophet Kim Clement.
On Mar. 2, 2013, Clement prophesied: “The soul of this nation has been wounded. Not from outside, but from inside. Self-infliction upon the soul.”
“I stand not in the presence of good only, but I stand in the presence of evil…The Angel of the Lord has been commanded by the right of the people who are praying. He has been summoned by the people, and he is resting his feet upon nations, while the battle rages, setting a flame to those who are ready,” Clement continues.
Clement’s prophetic word further echoed that this flame of revival would spread out to the world, particularly throughout Asia as well, transforming the lives of the youth while religious leaders will scour at the work of the Holy Spirit.
“Asia, you and your young ones in North Korea, in South Korea, in India, China, Hong Kong, in all the regions of the Far East to the Middle East will link up with young people in America. This revolution shall spread, and the sounds will be so unique that it is undeniable. And church leaders will stand up and condemn it as they’
The tragic loss of Charlie Kirk appears to have sparked a nationwide turning toward God, igniting a revival that aligns with Kim Clement’s prophetic words. As people seek answers and lean into prayer, a spiritual movement is emerging, particularly among the youth, that crosses borders and challenges traditional religious structures.
What is unfolding is more than mourning—it is a moment of awakening, a Jesus-centered revolution quietly spreading both in America and abroad, signaling that God’s hand is at work even in times of national sorrow.
REPORT: Jimmy Kimmel Loses It After Longtime Show’s Demise: ‘Fu**ing Livid’– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Jimmy Kimmel is “absolutely f**king livid” over ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” pull Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show from the air. The decision was made after major broadcasters announced that they would not be airing the show in response to Kimmel’s advancement of a blatant lie in which he baselessly claimed the suspected assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter.
The statement came shortly after broadcasting giant Nexstar Media Group, which owns and operates more than 200 television stations in 116 U.S. markets, announced Wednesday that it will be pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! from its affiliates.
“Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets,” the company announced in a statement.
Nexstar’s vast media portfolio reaches about 39 percent of American households, primarily through affiliations with major networks like ABC, CBS, Fox and others. This was followed up by a similar announcement by Sinclair, which controls a significant portion of local television networks themselves.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kimmel is “absolutely f**king livid” over the network’s abrupt decision, which came just an hour before he was set to tape his next show. “Absolutely f–king livid,” one producer told the outlet about how Kimmel took the news, adding that the late-night host is currently meeting with the network.
“This is clearly the government overreaching. There’s no such thing as free speech in America, if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like.”
Senate unanimously passes Mike Lee’s resolution condemning Charlie Kirk’s death– www.yahoo.com Source Link Excerpt:
WASHINGTON — The Senate unanimously approved a resolution by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to condemn the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a voice vote on Tuesday.
Lee introduced the resolution shortly after Kirk’s death last week, calling on his colleagues to condemn his assassination “in the strongest possible terms” while also honoring his life and “commitment to the constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people in the United States regardless of political affiliation.” The resolution passed in a unanimous voice vote when it was brought to the Senate floor for consideration.
“This is just a flag, planted on a hill,” Lee said of his resolution. “What matters is where we carry it next.”
The resolution was filed in conjunction with the House by Utah Rep. Mike Kennedy, who represents the district where Utah Valley University, the site of Kirk’s death, is located. That version has not yet been scheduled for a vote.
The resolution comes just days before Kirk’s family will hold a memorial service for the conservative activist in his home state of Arizona, which is expected to attract a large number of high-profile politicians and celebrities.
Stop Asking Me To ‘Unify’ With The Violent Left– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
We’ve entered a very dangerous time in our country. That should be clear to everyone — political violence is a sign of a deep and corrosive sickness in any society.
In America today, the problem is not political violence in the abstract. It is a specific kind of political violence which is overwhelmingly driven by a specific set of actors and groups. None of this emerged out of thin air.
Over the past week, leaders from across the political spectrum have come out and forcefully condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder and political violence more broadly. For that, we’re all very grateful. We should be grateful. There have been calls to unite and come together in the wake of Charlie’s murder, and I want to do that. I do.
Someday, I pray that we can be united as a country again and go forward together as one people, under one flag. But we are not united.
Upstream from the dehumanization and demonizing, political violence and rhetoric tearing apart our country, there is a divide on how we view America and Americans. Is America good? Is America evil? Is there something inherently special about Western civilization, or is this 2,000-year project rotten to the core?
ABC has announced that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended, and his show has been taken off the air indefinitely, all because Kimmel made a remark during his program on Monday.
Kimmel said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
FCC Chair Brendon Carr went on a right-wing podcast and threatened ABC by saying:
This appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into the narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or Republican-motivated person. What people don’t understand is that the broadcasters … have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest. When we see stuff like this, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.
ABC affiliates announced that they would be replacing Kimmel’s show after the Carr threat, and the network responded by announcing that Kimmel was indefinitely suspended.”
House Advances Resolution to Honor Charlie Kirk– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The House of Representatives cleared the way Wednesday for a vote on a resolution honoring slain pro-life conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA.
Kirk was assassinated last week during a college campus speaking event in Utah.
The procedural vote, known as a rule vote, advanced the measure alongside a bill to avert a government shutdown, setting the stage for floor debate on the resolution later this week. A final vote could come as early as Thursday or Friday, according to congressional leaders.
The resolution, spearheaded by Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, praises Kirk as “one of the most prominent voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse across college campuses, media platforms and national forums, always seeking to elevate truth, foster understanding and strengthen the Republic.”
The Media Is Fueling a Spate of Wild Conspiracies – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
We have to suppose that it is a natural offshoot of a severe act taking place, that some people would tread into the landscape of conspiracies. It is not unexpected, but we seem to be experiencing an elevated level of this activity today. In the wake of the grievous murder of Charlie Kirk, there has been a flurry of these instances, but the sourcing of this may have much to do with the added aspect of political tribalism.
While conspiracy theories are not a new phenomenon, what is notable now is how many who claim to have elevated thinking are instead descending into the fever swamps. An application of pragmatism is not only absent, it is resisted, and that is the tell. And the denials of the motives behind the shooting seen in the press are only feeding this hysteria.
Currently on social media, two such prevailing theories are floated: That the presented text messages between Kirk’s assassin and his lover are fabricated, and that at least one lynching has boldly taken place on a college campus. These are cases that beg for clarity and evidence, and the absence of such is held up as proof.
Regarding the texts presented by the authorities, the prevailing theory is that nobody of the shooter’s age fashions their texts in the manner seen in these exchanges. The concept is that these were crafted by out-of-touch law enforcement figures. When I asked one such true-denier on social media where the evidence exists that these were fake messages, I was told that it is found on social media posts. (Naturally, the next step was not showing these examples but the instruction that it was incumbent upon me to seek out their proof.)

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination at an event at Utah Valley College last week, there was an outpouring of grief — as well as misinformation.
There was misinformation about who the killer was. About conservatives “canceling” people. And, more than anything, there was misinformation about what Charlie Kirk said and believed.
These quotes have been passed around so much that they’re basically gospel at this point. They’re also mostly bunk. As proof, let’s do a deep dive and look at six of the most commonly twisted Kirk quotes that we’ve seen peddled by the left in the wake of his death.
1. The racial slur quote.
The internet’s version: “I live like a capitalist every single day, chink.”
Reality: If you heard one quote that was manipulated to look as if that Charlie Kirk was a real figure of hate — David Duke, but slicker and with more avenues to power — it was probably this one.
The quote was posted multiple times in X threads related to Kirk’s death, along with the context-less clip of the alleged quote.
ABC’s Gutman Goes on X to Regret Calling Kirk Suspect’s Texts ‘Very Touching’– www.newsbusters.org Source Link Excerpt:
Early Wednesday morning, ABC chief national correspondent Matt Gutman took to X and not on-air to offer his attempt at apologizing for fawning Tuesday afternoon over text messages between the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and his trans lover as “lovingly” stated, “very intimate,” and “very touching.”
Gutman stated at 6:32 a.m. Eastern ahead of his Good Morning America liveshot about the case (albeit back in Los Angeles) the following:
1. Yesterday I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk – a man who dedicated his life to public dialogue – and the personal, disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County Attorney at the press conference.
He then added that “I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear. But let there be zero doubt here: I unequivocally condemn this horrific crime and the pain it caused Charlie Kirk’s family, those who were forced to witness it at UVU, and the millions of people he inspired.”
As a reminder, below is the first of two insane glorifications of the alleged assassin and his trans lover (or click here to read our full write-up and analysis):
He also doubled down on ABC News Live, not even ten minutes later (emphasis mine):
It’s heartbreaking on so many levels, Kyra. Obviously, Charlie Kirk was murdered brutally in front of a crowd of thousands…[O]n the other hand, there is this duality of a very a portrait of a very human person, a very human experience from this entire family…the kid who had got a 34 out of 36 on the ACT, who had a 4.0, who got a full ride to college here…I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a press conference in which we’ve read text messages that are A, so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating and yet, on the other hand, so touching — right — with the suspect reaching out to his roommate, who was allegedly his boyfriend, who we understand, you know, identified as male at birth, now identifies as female. And the terminology he used, he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him ‘my love.’ ‘My reason for doing this is to protect you,’ you know, but also asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law enforcement. So there’s this, this heartbreaking duality that we’re seeing very tragically playing out here.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino arrives in Chicago vowing ‘much more’ ICE arrests are on the way– chicago.suntimes.com Source Link Excerpt:
Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in California, on Tuesday announced he had arrived in Chicago, signaling ICE operations in the area are ramping up.
“Well, Chicago, we’ve arrived!” Bovino wrote in a social media post, accompanied by a video of Border Patrol agents in Chicago. “Operation At Large is here to continue the mission we started in Los Angeles — to make the city safer by targeting and arresting criminal illegal aliens.”
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote on social media that Chicago arrests on Tuesday included people arrested for violent assault, felony stalking or DUI. She did not provide any names.
Bovino, who is typically dressed in tactical gear, led the latest deportation effort in Los Angeles that led to more than 5,000 arrests. Tuesday’s enforcement is separate from the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” which was announced two weeks ago.
Replying to a social media post by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Matt Hill, who criticized that ICE hasn’t called Pritzker but has “the time to create a TikTok video showing off beautiful Chicago scenery,” Bovino wrote, “Tik tok, tik tok, time is up!!”

PROVO, Utah: Utah prosecutors said on Tuesday (Sep 16) they will seek the death penalty for the suspect in conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination and revealed evidence including alleged text messages in which he confessed.
Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of firing a single rifle shot from a rooftop sniper’s nest that killed the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder on the campus of Utah Valley University last Wednesday.
“I had enough of his hatred,” Robinson told his roommate and romantic partner, according to court transcripts filed by prosecutors.
Utah County District Attorney Jeffrey Gray announced seven counts, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice for disposing of evidence, and witness tampering. He said the decision to seek the death penalty was made “independently, based solely on the available evidence and circumstances and nature of the crime.”

Maddow Claims Trump Wants To Use Kirk Murder To ‘Stay in Power Indefinitely’– www.newsbusters.org Source Link Excerpt:
The calls to turn down the political rhetoric were nice while they lasted. On Monday’s The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, the eponymous host warned that President Trump and the administration writ large intend to use the assassination of Charlie Kirk to, among other things, “stay in power indefinitely.”
Referencing a New York Times article, Maddow lamented, “Another headline today, quote, ‘White House plans broad crackdown on liberal groups.’ They’re saying now they will use the horrific murder of pro-Trump activist Charlie Kirk last week as a justification for some undefined whole-of-government attack on what they always describe very vaguely as ‘the left,’ in this country.”
In that article, buried all the way down in paragraphs 18 and 19, was this nugget from Vice President JD Vance as he guest-hosted The Charlie Kirk Show:
‘We can thank God that most Democrats don’t share these attitudes, and I do, while acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe, a minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far left,’ he said.
Mr. Vance said the administration would not go after ‘constitutionally protected speech’ but rather what he described as a network of nonprofit nongovernmental organizations that ‘foments, facilitates and engages in violence.’
ABC News reporter swoons over romance between Charlie Kirk assassin and trans roommate: ‘very touching’ | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com Source Link Excerpt:
An ABC reporter who was in attendance at a press briefing in Utah where charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination were detailed claimed that the text messages between the alleged killer and his transgender romantic partner were “very touching.” In those messages, Tyler Robinson urged his lover Lance Twiggs to destroy evidence to help cover up his connection to the killing.
Matt Gutman told viewers “we have seen an alleged murderer with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.
“But also it was very touching, in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him ‘my love’, and ‘I want to protect you my love.’
“So it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting… riveting press conference.”
