Obama The Vindictive Denier

-
It’s difficult to reflect on Obama commenting now on his legacy vs. the Charlie Kirk situation and the current political and media environment.
Reality: Obama’s radical left-wing views and actions domestically and internationally have left deep scars on our country and culture.
Few in our country view his tenure as an uplifting example of Americanism and his withdrawal to the Vineyard is reminiscent of Elba.

Obama’s laughable ‘no extremism’ claim
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/21/obamas-laughable-no-extremism-claim/
-
With all due respect, sir, your claim that you and your administration did not embrace or empower extreme views is nonsense. Frankly, millions of Americans find such a statement to be either one of the most stunning examples of psychological projection that we’ve ever seen or simply a shameless, bald-faced lie.
-
You are the one who chose to focus on the color of our skin rather than the content of our character. It was you who pushed your neo-Marxist agenda of “equity” rather than equality, of diversity rather than unity, of intersectionality rather than personal responsibility. It was you, Mr. Obama, who chose to foment racial animus and resentment rather than personal forgiveness and reconciliation. It was you who pitted Blacks against Whites and Whites against Blacks.
-
You are the one who stoked the flames of class conflict. You are the one who rallied gays against straights, the working class against the educated, traditionalists against progressives and rural voters against those more urbane.

AOC Smears Kirk's Beliefs as 'Uneducated, Ignorant'
https://www.newsmax.com/us/aoc-charlie-kirk-resolution/2025/09/19/id/1227128/
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., criticized the late Charlie Kirk during a House floor speech Friday, distorting his record and calling his "rhetoric and beliefs ... uneducated and ignorant."
Ocasio-Cortez's tirade came after the House passed a bipartisan resolution honoring Kirk, the conservative leader who was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University last week in Orem, Utah. The measure passed 310-58, with AOC making it clear she was one of the 58 nays.

Johnny Carson & Charlie Kirk & Jimmy Kimmel

The PravdaMedia late-night hucksters are convulsing over the ‘ABC’ termination of their fellow-traveler Jimmy Kimmel.
Apparently their collective view is that they have had a perpetual lock on their time-slots without regard or responsibility for what they do or say.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death

ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely beginning Wednesday after comments that he made about Charlie Kirk’s killing led a group of ABC-affiliated stations to say it would not air the show and provoked some ominous comments from a top federal regulator.
ABC, which has aired Kimmel’s late-night show since 2003, moved swiftly after Nexstar Communications Group said it would pull the show starting Wednesday. Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. Nexstar operates 23 ABC affiliates.

"I unequivocally condemn all violent attacks against evil Nazi transphobes who are an existential threat to democracy and who must be eliminated at all costs," said Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to reporters. "Charlie Kirk was an evil, violent fascist who loved genocide and wants trans kids to die, but that doesn't mean we should shoot him or anything."

Charles J. Kirk will go down in history as the most effective political organizer in presidential politics in the past 50 years. His achievement stands out for its scale and difficulty: persuading and mobilizing a generation of voters long presumed to be the Democrats’ natural property.

Communism Returns To NYCity

-
Democrat New York governor endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgl1e4501pgo
President Donald Trump has repeatedly described Mamdani as a "communist" and said on Monday that Hochul's endorsement was a "shocking development".

As a youngster growing-up in the Catskills in the 1950s I was witness to the major influx of NYC folks seeking cooler weather for the summers. Included in that migration were many self-avowed communists, many in our area worked for the "Daily Worker" publication and unabashedly handed out copies at every opportunity. The Party lost much of its support during the Cold War and the Korean War.

Apparently, the NY communist party has reconstituted itself and is on course to take over NY’s City Hall this year.

It is difficult to watch the Democrat Party, the party of JFK, embracing a Communist Fellow Traveler for Mayor of the largest city in US!
As a young Army Officer, I was at the Fliegerhorst Caserne in Hanau Germany June 1963 when JFK stopped there on the way to Berlin to give his Anti-Communist “Ich Bin Berliner” 'Evil Empire' speech.

NYT: When New York City Was the Capital of American Communism
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/20/opinion/new-york-american-communism.html
By 1938, the party counted 38,000 members in New York State, about half its national membership, and most of those lived in New York City. Communists were increasingly native-born (although many were the children of immigrants). Party-organized mass meetings in the old Madison Square Garden were packed with as many as 20,000 participants; the annual May Day parades drew tens of thousands, too.
A Communist candidate for the presidency of the city’s board of aldermen received nearly 100,000 votes in 1938;

Charlie Kirk And Roanoke Times

-
The hills are alive with the sounds of Charlie Kirk, except for the Roanoke Times.
-
True to their PravdaMedia mantra, one looks through 18 pages of mostly Sunday advertisements to finally find on page A16 a Dallas Morning View Reprint: “Violence solves nothing. It only sows pain and chaos that threatens to metastasize”.
-
Talk about a pathetic coverage of one of the most significant events of the year, being heavily covered by even the most left-wing national outlets and entities.
-
This dastardly murder by a left-wing homosexual lunatic has highlighted and triggered American emotions reflective of JFK’s murder, especially among young people who related to Charlies’ intellect, perspectives and Christianity.
-
The inability of the Roanoke Times staff and management to put aside their all-consuming left-wing ideology is witness to their slide into irrelevance and readership and financial collapse.

Light After The Dark: Charlie Kirk

-
Let us celebrate and reflect upon:
No street riots!
No buildings being burned down!
No one pulled from their car and beaten!
No barriers with cars being burned and destroyed!
Just prayer and sorrow and disbelief and dedication going forward!
Big disappointment for the LeftWing Radicals and PravdaMedia!

Yet perhaps the most important part of the press conference was Mr. Cox’s reflection on the country’s condition after “an attack on the American experiment.” To “my young friends out there, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage,” he said. “It feels like rage is the only option.”
But “your generation has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different from what we are suffering through right now, not by pretending differences don’t matter, but by embracing our differences and having those hard conversations.”

LeftWing Politicians Marginalize Charlotte Horrific Murder

-
The brutal murder, in Charlotte, of a young woman by a maniacal knife-man in a public train car, caught in-detail by clear CCTV video, represents a level of animalistic behavior totally contrary to civilized society and is only out sized by the sick reaction of those trying to marginalize the crime in an effort to apply political-sedatives to a horrific crime.
The Liberal politicians and their PravdaMedia cannot find it in their psyche to properly describe and condemn this horrific crime because of their political and social commitments. A pox be on them and their associates!
The blood of a young women clearly stains their hands.

He later posted on Truth Social that “the perpetrator was a well-known career criminal, who had been previously arrested and released on CASHLESS BAIL in January, a total of 14 TIMES.”
“What the hell was he doing riding the train, and walking the streets?” he asked rhetorically. “Criminals like this need to be LOCKED UP.”

Charlotte Murder Exposes Democrat Failures After Career Criminal Freed by Woke Policies
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/09/charlotte-murder-exposes-democrat-failures-after-career-criminal-freed-by-woke-policies/
Horrifying video released on Friday shows the moment an innocent woman was brutally murdered on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina — a shocking act of evil that didn’t have to happen.
The deranged monster had been arrested again and again for violent crimes spanning more than a decade. Despite that lengthy rap sheet, mental health issues, and forfeiting bonds on three occasions, a Democrat judge released him back on the streets following his most recent arrest in January — free to slaughter an innocent woman just months later.

The Chicago D-mayor and Illinois D-governor have declared war on Trump instead of the violent lawless residents of Chicago.

Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) seems desperate for his own moment in the spotlight. He’s been racing to every microphone and camera to slam President Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and now to oppose Trump’s promise to clean up Chicago. The result? An epic backfire.

Trump, a Republican, has said America's third largest city is "a killing field", arguing crime in the city constitutes an emergency.
His threats to deploy the National Guard have been described as an abuse of power by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
