"If I were President Trump," writes author John Leake, "I would post something like the following on his Truth Social account:
In the midst of our shock, horror, and grief at the coldblooded murder of our dear friend, Charlie Kirk, we were presented with the fresh horror of Jimmy Kimmel making misleading and callous statements about the crime and the alleged culprit. In response to this characteristically stupid remark from the biggest loser in a packed field of Late Night losers, FCC Chairman Carr told ABC that we will not tolerate the broadcasting of false information about major crimes such as the murder of Charlie Kirk. We have had enough of broadcast hoaxes from the networks.
However, if ABC can prove the veracity of Jimmy Kimmel’s statements about the murder of Charlie Kirk and the alleged assassin, I call upon ABC to rescind Mr. Kimmel’s suspension and to compel him to present his supporting evidence on his first show back at work. If he makes claims that he cannot support with evidence, ABC will face substantial fines for broadcasting false information and possibly lose its broadcast license.
A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
