We now have the text messages between Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin and his boyfriend regarding his actions on September 10th. You’re never going to guess the media’s reaction. Additionally, the media is tripping over themselves to try to ‘both sides’ the argument and ‘um, actually’ their way into blaming the right for violence. Is that really how it works, though? Sam Hyde, a comedian, took some time to address the Charlie Kirk assassination. We’ll cover what he said and why it’s so spot on.

COVID-19 is still a threat, but getting a vaccine is harder for many people– www.sciencenews.org

Excerpt:

Traveling across state lines in search of an available shot. Scrambling to get a doctor’s prescription. Showing up for a pharmacy vaccination appointment only to be denied. Those are some of the stories people have been describing to journalists and on social media as they share whether or not they could get the latest COVID-19 vaccine, updated to better match coronavirus strains in circulation.

This reality contradicts Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.’s testimony in a Sept. 4 congressional hearing that everybody can get the vaccine. In May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration placed restrictions on who is eligible for the COVID-19 shot. Previously, the Moderna and Pfizer formulations were available for anyone 6 months and older, with Novavax OK’d for those 12 and up. Now, the FDA has stated, those 6 months to 64 years old can receive the vaccine only if they have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe COVID-19 disease.

Fox News Hosts: Universities Turn Students Against Christians– crooksandliars.com

Excerpt:

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy spread false information about Charlie Kirk’s shooter and then blamed college education for making students hate Christians and conservatives.

Rachel Campos-Duffy is one of the most prolific spreader of lies and hyperbolic conspiracies on Fox News. Her husband has been taking a page out of her book as Demented Donald’s Transportation Secretary.

I want to point something else out. You heard the family members say that this man became more political, this young man became more political in recent years.

What did he do in recent years?

He went to college. That’s where kids are getting radicalized, it’s not just online. Our campuses are where a lot of radicalization, hate and intolerance starts from.

And so when he says it’s an attack on all of us, I’m going to say this, no, it’s an attack on conservatives.

It’s an attack on Christians.

Both the Left and the Right are Targeted by Political Violence. Who Perpetrates It? – Mother Jones– www.motherjones.com

Excerpt:

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s gruesome killing last week was both a striking visual of our nation’s intensifying polarization and, by some counts, a catalyst for it to intensify more. Even before a suspect had been identified, there was a knee-jerk reaction among some Republicans to blame the Democratic Party for his death. Some even called for retribution.

Importantly, we do not yet—and may never—know the motive, or constellation of motivations, that drove Kirk’s alleged shooter, who has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. But we do know that targets of political violence exist across the political spectrum.

Consider some of the recent events of political violence:

  • Just three months ago, Democratic Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were assassinated in their home. Another member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and his wife were also repeatedly shot and wounded; the suspect apprehended for these crimes had a list of dozens of potential targets, including other Democrats and abortion rights advocates.
  • In August, a law enforcement officer died amid a shooting that was directed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the shooter had blamed his depression on the Covid vaccine.
  • In May, two staffers of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, were fatally shot; the suspect in that case previously expressed strong opposition to Israel’s aggression in Palestine.
  • In April, the residence of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was set on fire in what prosecutors are calling an attempted murder. The fire took place a few hours after Shapiro, a Jewish Democrat, celebrated Passover.

Billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel ‘intervention’ with Charlie Kirk, sources say– thegrayzone.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion.

On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. “I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man.”

The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk’s meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an “intervention” where he was “hammered” for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events. 

Socialism: A national 'bluff'

Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in– www.politico.com

Excerpt:

 

The socialist brand is on the rise, according to recent polling, fueling the left flank of the Democratic Party to argue its ideology is becoming more mainstream.

Shortly after Gallup released data showing Democrats and independents are cooling toward capitalism, a progressive organization is out with a poll finding that more than half of likely Democratic voters prefer socialist-aligned figures like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani to establishment politicians like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefrries and Nancy Pelosi.

Democratic voters also view elected officials who describe themselves as democratic socialists about as positively as those who identify as Democrats, and they prefer democratic socialism to capitalism when written definitions of each are read aloud to them, according to the poll conducted by Data for Progress and shared first with POLITICO.

“What the mainstream of the party wants is both democratic socialism as a value system and democratic socialist politicians,” said Gabe Tobias, executive director of the Democratic Socialists of America Fund, a political nonprofit organization that funded the survey with the magazine Jacobin and the Berlin-based democratic socialist group Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.

Though Democratic voters are warming to socialism, the ideology is toxic to most Republicans and many independents, making it difficult for socialists to win in battlegrounds. Even within the Democratic Party, some voters are skeptical about the electability of democratic socialists in swing areas, a reality Sanders faced during his two unsuccessful presidential runs.

Vance urges people to go hard against anyone ‘justifying or celebrating’ Charlie Kirk’s killing – live | Charlie Kirk shooting– www.theguardian.com

Excerpt:

To close out as guest host of Charlie Kirk’s podcast, JD Vance went hard against what he called the far left and an increased tolerance for violence on it, saying the administration would be working to dismantle those who celebrate Kirk’s death and political violence against their opponents.

Vance said that after he left Kirk’s family in Arizona, he read a story in the Nation, a leftwing publication, where the author detailed Kirk’s views and, he said, took a quote about a supreme court justice out of context to imply it applied to all Black women.

The magazine was not a “fringe blog” but a “well-funded, well-respected magazine whose publishing history goes back to the American civil war. George Soros’s Open Society Foundation funds this magazine, as does the Ford Foundation and many other wealthy titans of the American progressive movement,” Vance said, hinting at the organizations the administration might target in the aftermath of Kirk’s murder. Vance later mentioned that the foundations that helped fund the magazine are tax-exempt, a sign that the government could go after that status.

“Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight, and well-funded institutions of the left lied about what he said so as to justify his murder,” Vance claimed. “This is soulless and evil, but I was struck not just by the dishonesty of the smear, but by the glee over a young husband’s and young father’s death.”

Vance said Erica Kirk asked his wife, Usha, for advice on how to tell her children that their father had been murdered on the vice-president’s visit to escort Kirk’s remains back to Arizona. As she was asking for that advice, Vance said, “there were people dancing on that father’s grave”.

Never Forget: Four Black Schoolgirls Killed In Birmingham Church Bombing– crooksandliars.com

Excerpt:

Under the Trump administration, any teacher who would dare teach this in a history class would be fired.

History:

On September 15, 1963, a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls: Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14) and Carol Denise McNair (11).

With its large African American congregation, the 16th Street Baptist Church served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., who once called Birmingham a “symbol of hardcore resistance to integration.” Alabama’s governor, George Wallace, made preserving racial segregation one of the central goals of his administration, and Birmingham had one of the most violent and lawless chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.

The church bombing was the third in Birmingham in 11 days after a federal order came down to integrate Alabama’s school system.

GOP responds to Charlie Kirk’s death with anything but gun control– www.dailykos.com

Excerpt:

Conservatives have come up with a host of measures they want taken to avenge right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s murder—none of which include gun reforms.

Most of the proposals are retributive, with Republicans blaming the nebulous “left” for Kirk’s death and demanding that the “left” face punishment for it.

President Donald Trump—who was so distraught by Kirk’s death that he was seen happily dancing the next day at a Yankees game—said he wants to target progressive groups, claiming without evidence that they “contributed to this atrocity.”

Congressional Republicans seemed happy to help Trump in that endeavor, with Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas and nearly two dozen other House Republicans demanding that GOP Speaker Mike Johnson create a new committee to investigate progressive groups that they baselessly accused of being responsible for Kirk’s death.

“In the wake of numerous attacks on our way of life, the destruction of the rule of law, and the murder of innocent Americans, prominent and unknown alike, we must take every step to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NGOs, donors, media, public officials, and all entities driving this coordinated attack,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Johnson, specifically referencing right-wing boogeyman George Soros and the Southern Poverty Law Center as groups they want to see investigated.

‘People Like JD Vance’ Are Trying to Make Kirk’s Murder a ‘Divisive Thing’– www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

Monday on CNN’s “OutFront,” chronic Trump critic Adam Kinzinger claimed “people like” Vice President JD Vance were trying to make the assassination of Charlie Kirk a “divisive thing.”

Host Erin Burnett said, “As you are both aware, a bunch of people have been fired for saying things after the Charlie Kirk murder. Congressman, so when you hear JD Vance hosting that podcast, the sitting Vice President of the United States hosting the Kirk podcast today, I know you had a chance to listen to much of it. You know, what did you think?”

Kinzinger said, “I mean, look, this is the weirdest time. It’s you know, there’s only as I see it, only one kind of group of people trying to make this a very divisive thing and that is people like JD Vance. I mean I’ve only seen, like, we can all go on Twitter and see people that celebrate it. They’re usually faceless, nameless people and it’s disgusting. But every Democratic leader I’ve seen has expressed remorse for what happened, has expressed concern, has expressed compassion for the family. It’s like they’re trying to stir this thing up and it’s this is so dangerous. That’s the thing is, this is such a dangerous moment because a cycle of violence is what I fear, and a cycle of violence doesn’t end well for anybody. Nobody wanted this to happen to Charlie Kirk. this is awful. and for the vice president to say he knows who did it and the motivation. I don’t even think law enforcement has said that there was a specific motivation behind it. So this is really dangerous.”

WaPo Columnist Says She Was Fired After Sharing Fake Quote From Charlie Kirk– dailycaller.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Columnist Karen Attiah complained on Monday that The Washington Post fired her for falsely quoting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination.

The Post fired Attiah for falsely quoting Kirk stating that “black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously” on BlueSky, a left-wing social media website. In a Substack post, Attiah accused the Post of engaging in “hasty overreach” over their swift firing of her and instantly made her termination about race.

“And yet, the Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being ‘unacceptable’, ‘gross misconduct’ and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false. They rushed to fire me without even a conversation. This was not only a hasty overreach, but a violation of the very standards of journalistic fairness and rigor the Post claims to uphold,” Attiah wrote. “Since then, my words on absolution for white male violence have proven prescient. The suspect in Kirk’s killing is indeed a young white man, and already, lawmakers are urging us to pray for him. The media is painting the 22 year-old as a good, all-American suburban kid. The cycle I mentioned has once again come to pass.”

The fired columnist falsely accused Kirk of having “attacked Black women” and of saying that black people were better off living under Jim Crow. Kirk never made any of these claims.

Celebrities Attack Trump, Promote Hamas at Emmys, Remain Silent on Charlie Kirk’s Murder– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was completely ignored during Sunday night’s 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, despite the show’s long history of using its stage for political grandstanding.

Just four days earlier, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was assassinated at Utah Valley University during a Q&A session on his “American Comeback Tour.”

The shocking political murder drew international headlines and condemnation from President Donald Trump, who called it a “heinous assassination” and an act of “political violence.”

But when Hollywood’s elite gathered at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, not one actor, director, or host acknowledged Kirk’s death.

Instead, the event was saturated with progressive politics.

Viewers Furious at “Deafening Silence”

The silence over Kirk’s murder did not go unnoticed.

Social media users blasted the Emmys for refusing even a brief tribute.

 

The Problem Is Donald Trump, Not Social Media Or Lonely White Men– www.politicususa.com

Excerpt:

 

After a white conservative was shot, many of the prominent white people in politics and media rushed to blame a variety of excuses when they found out that the shooter was a white young man from a Republican family.

Republican Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, where Kirk was killed, thinks that the problem is social media.

Cox has become a media darling by criticizing the platform that made traditional media increasingly irrelevant.

Gov. Cox said on Sunday:

I believe that social media has played a direct role in every single assassination and assassination attempt that we have seen over the last five, six years. There is no question in my mind — ‘cancer’ probably isn’t a strong enough word. What we have done, especially to our kids, it took us decades to realize how evil these algorithms are.

Cox isn’t totally wrong. Studies have shown that social media is bad for mental health and that the mental health of individuals improves when they stop consuming social media.

Morning Joe on Kirk Killer: ‘Motives Almost Shouldn’t Matter’– www.newsbusters.org
Source Link
Excerpt:

In a public forum, a left-wing activist is shot while advocating for the right of men who identify as women to compete in women’s sports.

The suspected shooter has a conservative ideology, and is in a romantic relationship with a woman who is an activist working to prevent men from competing against women.

Think Morning Joe would argue that the shooter’s motives don’t really matter, and that we should focus instead on other issues? Rhetorical question.

But when the tables are turned . . .

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, someone Morning Joe has praised, has stated that Tyler Robinson has a “leftist ideology,” and was in a romantic relationship with a male transitioning to female. And at the moment Robinson allegedly shot him, Charlie Kirk was discussing shootings by trans people.

So, shouldn’t we delve deeply into Robinson’s motives, and consider their cultural and political implications?

Nope, says MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire. On today’s Morning Joe, MSNBC’s Lemire argued that Tyler Robinson’s motives “almost shouldn’t matter.” Isn’t Lemire a “news” reporter? Facts don’t matter?
