It's valid to look for potential politics in the killer's motivations. And there are pieces of evidence that link suspect Tyler Robinson to the left, even as the fuller picture is still being pieced together and remains opaque. But Trump and his allies are cherry-picking evidence and misleading about recent violent episodes. They're also casting stones from a glass house when it comes to the potential role of political rhetoric in such tragedies. In fact, Trump has spent the last decade saying conspicuously violent things and often flirting with the prospect of justified violence by his supporters " including as recently as Friday. Read more
The US Department of Education announced it will withhold $350 million of congressionally approved funds to minority-serving colleges and universities and divert the funds elsewhere, saying that the institutions' admissions quotas are discriminatory. This move will eliminate fiscal 2025 discretionary funding for institutions that serve students who are Asian, Black, Indigenous and Hispanic, as well as a program for students of color pursuing careers in science and engineering. Dummkopf Trumpf's longstanding objective is to eliminate programs that center on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Up to 800 schools will be affected: Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian; Black institutions; Asian American; Pacific Islander; Native American-serving nontribal institutions; and Minority Science and Engineering Improvement grants.

Ryder Corral (19) began kicking over vases, flowers, balloons, and flags at a ridiculous street shrine set up for hatemongering racist college dropout Charlie Kirk outside Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. Suddenly a gorill' attacks Ryder Corral by furiously hurling him down onto the pavement. But instead of arresting the violent behemoth, police arrested the victim, charging him with disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. Seeing is believing: Police Arrest Wrong Man. Social media erupted with MAGA indignation and scorn for poor Ryder Corral. No GoFundMe page for his legal defense costs has been established yet. An arrest is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Only white supremacists, Islamophobes, reprobates, or MAGA followers miss the late human canker sore once known as Charlie Kirk. Read more
This year several European football players complained that UEFA prohibits Russian athletes from participating in the league, but hypocritically allows Israeli athletes to compete. Ireland, Spain, Holland, Iceland, and Slovenia threatened to withdraw from 2026 Eurovision if the Rogue state takes part next year. This weekend in Spain, 100,000 volunteers interrupted and cut short the Grand Prix Bicycle Race because an Israeli team was allowed to compete. In the US, 4,000 filmmakers, actors, and talent have joined a boycott of Israeli film projects. And in NYS, Governor Kathy Hochul finally endorsed NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Other prominent (AIPAC) Democrats have yet to endorse their fellow party colleague against Dummkopf Trumpf/AIPAC tool Andrew Cuomo, who turned his back on the Democratic Party which was the lifelong vehicle of his success. Like Judas Iscariot, we hope the disgraced fallen governor enjoys his 30 pieces of silver AIPAC coins. Read more
Chris Hedges: Martyrs are used by messianic movements to sanctify violence. To show any mercy or understanding toward the enemy is to betray the martyr and the cause the martyr died defending.
European Union leaders on Sunday slammed Moscow for the second violation of EU territory in less than a week after a Russian drone breached Romanian airspace during an attack on southern Ukraine. "Russia's incursion into Romanian airspace is once again a blatant violation of EU sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said
At Trump's behest, throngs of his supporters descended on Washington, DC, to dispute the results of the presidential election, climbing the steps of the Capitol and busting through its doors and windows. Throughout the day, Trump continued to falsely claim that the election was stolen without any evidence to support this unreality, further riling up his followers to "take the country back." By mid-afternoon, the Capitol building was breached and one member of the mob had been shot and fatally wounded. Five people died. In a last-minute video message, Trump told the crowd to go home " then told them he loved them and believes they're "very special." Read more

Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News' Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin.
A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!" Well, I did. And I'm glad I did, because now I won't get to. Yes, Charlie and I disagreed a lot and about really important things. But somehow we didn't lose our humanity. We were still fellow Americans.
This had to be incredibly difficult for her. Her address is in the thread link. It's a little over 16 minutes in length.

The London Times reports that the Trump Administration has been deporting Russian dissenters who fled Vladimir Putin's authoritarian regime, sending them back to Russia, and even apparently helping Russian authorities persecute them: On August 27, less than a fortnight after President Trump's summit with Putin in Alaska, dozens of Russians were rounded up and deported. Among them was Artyom Vovchenko, 27, a deserter from the war in Ukraine. He is facing a prison sentence of up to decade or could be sent back to the front line. ... . Although the deportation of Russians to Russia has accelerated under Trump, the policy began under his predecessor Joe Biden. According to Dmitry Valuev, 46, president of Russian America for Democracy in Russia, an organisation that supports political refugees, deportations under Biden were smaller in number. Read more
"It's a long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible for years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals," Trump said in an address from the Oval Office. "This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."
Sheriffs served legal papers on behalf of Orbis Business Intelligence at Dummkopf Trumpf's Scottish golf courses as part of a dispute with former British MI6 officer Christopher Steele. The consultancy was awarded more than 625,000 UK pounds in costs during a UK High Court hearing in April but Trumpf has refused to pay. Trumpf unsuccessfully attempted to sue Christopher Steele who produced a dossier claiming Russia held compromising material on the Dotard-in-Chief. Trumpf denied the "shocking and scandalous" claims and sued Steele using UK data protection legislation. The High Court ruled against Trumpf in Feb 2024 and Orbis was initially awarded 300,000 UK pounds in costs. Trumpf sought permission to appeal against the judgment but was refused. Read more
