It appears that words no longer matter to Nancy Pelosi. For years, Pelosi and other Democrats have blamed President Donald Trump and Republicans for their “inciteful rhetoric.” In seeking Trump’s impeachment, Pelosi bellowed that the use of “words such as a cry ‘to fight like hell'” produces violence and added, “words matter. Truth matters. Accountability matters.” No longer. After all, she explained, “we can’t take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.”
Democrats and the media have long applied a double standard to political violence. CNN made “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests a national joke in describing riots that caused massive property damage and deaths. CNN’s Chris Cillizza even denounced Trump for using the word “riots” to describe the violent protests in Kenosha in 2020. Violence on the left cannot be riotous; it is righteous.
Pelosi has shown the same relativity. When a mob destroyed statues, Pelosi brushed aside the criminal conduct and said, “People will do what they do.”
Pelosi’s latest pivot comes as Democratic leaders whip supporters into a frenzy over the impending death of democracy and the need to “fight back.”
Despite objections from many of us that the rhetoric was pushing supporters to violence, Democrats have continued to call for resistance to tyranny or oligarchy.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D, Mass.) declared, “Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D, Md.) claimed on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Musk and Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) appeared to be working off the same talking point and declared that a “coup” was being carried out. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) warned that Musk was “taking away everything we have.”
Many are using the very words that Pelosi previously said were not just impeachable but criminal incitement. Democrats ratcheted up claims of a “coup” and called for Democrats to “fight in the streets.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) has called for people to take to the streets to save democracy and posted a picture brandishing a baseball bat.
Jeffries has also called for Democrats to fight “in the streets.”
Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. Liberal sites sell Antifa items to celebrate the violent group.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “I’m going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.” It follows other violent rhetoric from Democratic leaders.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Cal.) said, “We are here to fight back.” Sen. Cory Booker (D., NJ) called on citizens to “fight” and declared, “We will rise up.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., TX) yelled, “We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D., N.J.) added: “God d—it shut down the Senate!…WE ARE AT WAR!”
Such rhetoric can inspire unhinged citizens who actually believe that this is a war against a coup. It is the type of rhetoric that can prompt anti-Republican Nicholas John Roske to try to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh or Sanders supporter James T. Hodgkinson to try to massacre Republican members playing softball.
Democrats have admitted that the rhetoric is causing many to consider violence. One House Democrat told Axios, “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.”
Yet another admitted that constituents have told them to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.” Others reported that liberals are talking about the need “to storm the White House and stuff like that.”
One explained that “They’re angry beyond things.” Another said, “It’s like … the Roman coliseum. People just want more and more of this spectacle.”
Some are discussing triggering or staging violence. One member said, “What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people.”
In one encounter, a lawmaker told Axios: “I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher’. And someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?’”
However, when such arson and other violence occur, Democrats are mystified that anyone would point to their own rhetoric and responsibility. When the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk was found to have scrawled antifa messages on his bullets, the response was again denial and deflection.
At CNN, the network repeated its “fiery but mostly peaceful” approach to reporting. It told CNN viewers that there were “phrases related to cultural issues.” The wording was so painfully awkward and overly evasive that it only caused greater attention from viewers. CNN later admitted that the writing involved antifa references.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) was even angry with those acknowledging that the shooter was motivated by leftwing causes. He posted on X: “What f**king difference does it make if this murderer was left or right. Pull yourself together, read a book, get some exercise, have a whiskey or walk the dog or make some pasta or go fishing or just do anything other than let this algo pickle your brain and ruin your soul.”
Imagine if a MAGA supporter shot a Democrat. Would Schatz be calling for library and yoga visits?
However, Pelosi insists that words no longer matter. She may be speaking the truth when it comes to the left and the media. They do not matter if they convey righteously violent messages. It then becomes little more than “phrases related to cultural issues.”
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University and the author of the best-selling “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
Those on the left are trying to tell us that no blame for Charlie Kirks death rests with them. Let provide this reminder of how they supported the rioters who burned and looted In Minnesota. Right from a Kamala Harris post on X. https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1267555018128965643. Straight from a leader of a party who preaches inclusion for some and not for others. Calling for help for her mostly peaceful compatriots in arms.
Not to mention the gofundme for Luigi
No they are trying to say that no blame for ANYTHING rests with them.
Everything is someone else’s fault – certainly a Nazi, fascist homophobe.
If only we would listen unquestioning to them then sometime – on the umptillionth attempt that will not leave things worse than they found them.
All we have to do is look at conservative campus speeches that were blocked with violence and arson. The leftists have shallow memories.
Jon Green, Chairman of the Johnson County Supervisory Board in Iowa, has defied the Iowa Republican Gov’s order and said he will not fly the U.S. flag at half staff.
I’m not sure about his exact quote, but learning about what kind of man he is, a good guess might be that he said he will not lower the flag any lower than his undescended testicles.

This is getting stranger by the moment
The motive. The guy cheering in audience should be picked up.
If only they picked you up
What we need to acknowledge is the fact the modern Democrat party is using Stochastic terrorism (H/T Lin) to incite political violence and even assassination of their foes. They claim to be against violence while promoting it from afar.
What we need to do is to not lower ourselves to their level but to continue not only Charlie Kirk’s message but to highlight the value of the Constitution. To point out the differences between what the modern Democrats claim and what the Constitution is. To point out their fascist and totalitarian platform.
Do not hide. Do not be afraid to speak. Embrace your Constitutional rights! Point out the facts that modern Democrat policies fail and fail again and again.
Just like Charlie did.
here is an excerpt from a typical projecting leftist entitled Ending the Right’s Reign of Stochastic Terror
Political debate in the United States has entered a dangerous era beyond mere hyper-partisanship. Often, “political commentary” presented by some of the most watched conservative news networks is not political commentary at all, but vilification of political targets. This vilification often results in stochastic terrorism—a phenomenon that occurs when speakers with large audiences engage in frequent rhetorical attacks against political opposition, eventually inciting an ideologically aligned individual to take unpredictable, often violent action. Stochastic terrorism is an expedient form of dealing with political opponents because, due to First Amendment incitement jurisprudence, speakers who say inciteful things remain legally insulated from accountability for the result.

Nice lie george….
Dude seriously. Why dont you read the whole goddam comment before you pipe up?
Who are you speaking to? Far to many Ano on this site
You replied to my comment about who the stochastic terrorists are, and called me george.
I just read the headnote of today’s slop and stopped there for the sake of my blood pressure. Attacking Pelosi is a sure-fire MAGA devotee hit. What’s the matter, Turley, couldn’t you find any “Hunter Biden Scandal” retreaded crap to write about? How about trying to blame Obama for Kirk’s killing? Surely you can come up with something tying Obama to the shooting. Yesterday, while channel surfing, one of the billionaire-created MAGA media outlets came up and some pundit actually compared Kirk’s shooting to the assassination of JFK. Literally unreal. But, MAGA media, of which Turley chooses to associate himself, just HAS to come up with some way to deflect away from Trump, the Epstein scandal, the multiple errors made by the FBI in Utah, including firing the head of the FBI office in Utah shortly before the shooting, and mostly, the insurrection, a first in our history, all based on the Big Lie stemming from the ego of Donald Trump.
I don’t follow MAGA media and therefore don’t know anything about Kirk, so I looked up some information on the kind of rhetoric attributed to Kirk–excerpted from “CBC”:
Kirk said some gun deaths in the US are “worth it” so long as people get to keep their guns. If he hadn’t died from his injury, I wonder if he would still believe this. I don’t think that any gun deaths are acceptable, much less “worth it”.
Kirk called Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “awful” and “not a good person”. He called the Civil Rights Act of 1965 a “huge mistake”. So, according to Kirk, I suppose that persons of color should be required to drink from different water fountains than whites, use separate bathrooms, ride at the back of the bus, go to separate schools, and not be allowed to vote?
Kirk called abortion “murder” and “never medically necessary”. (So now, he’s a medical doctor?) He said that if he had a pregnant 10 year old daughter she should be required to give birth. Did he even understand that a 10 year old’s pelvis might not be developed sufficiently for the head of a fetus to pass, or the physical and psychological changes brought about a pregnancy for a fourth grader, much less the implications of being raped at age 10 and being faced with the choice of trying to raise a child and finish grade school or giving up the child and being forever branded as a rape victim?
Accused female Harris voters of valuing “careerism, consumersim and loneliness” over a family. Expressed the view that females have some duty to try to reproduce a lot–so those of us with a uterus shouldn’t have any say in how many children we bear and are responsible for raising, and we should forget higher education or professional aspirations?
Said that Taylor Swift wouldn’t be serious about her marriage to Travis Kelce unless she formally took his surname.
Denied that Israel is starving Gazan citizens. So, I guess all of the footage showing starving people and aid trucks lined up for miles blocked from entering Gaza were all generated by AI?
Was a COVID denier.
Promoted the conspiracy theory that migrants are part of a plot called the “great replacement theory”.
Said that empathy is a “made up new age term that does a lot of damage.”
Now I understand why some people will not mourn his passing. Having said that, I don’t support his killing or the killing of any person for expressing their views, even those that are reprehensible, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic (the “great replacement theory”) and just plain lies (like Israel isn’t starving Gazans). I provide the foregoing for context as MAGA media attempts to beatify this person as an American hero. Trump intends to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, just like he intends to honor Giuliani, who lost his law licenses for lying to courts on Trump’s behalf. In the same vein, Trump intends to reward Ashli Babbitt with a military honors funeral and gave away millions of our taxpayer dollars for “wrongful death” because she was trying to break into the Speaker’s Lobby on his behalf to try to stop Biden’s victory from being certified. The racist, misogynistic and other comments Kirk made are inconsistent with mainstream American values.
Ano
As usual. You spit out all this BS, yet made no effort to prove what you claim.
So like most here (george) It’s a lie.
Just maybe you and DG should get a room
Gigenius
What a log winded way of saying you are glad charlie kirk is dead.
You are despicable.
george is like that
I wish you wrote shorter comments because you’re not worth the time it would take to correct all of your misconceptions and mischaracterizations. Let’s take one big one as an example. It is true that Kirk said MLK Jr. was awful and not a good person. That is because Kirk was an avid reader and he had come across the following: “David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Martin Luther King Jr., has uncovered information that may change King’s legacy. Garrow’s research includes FBI memos that detail King’s alleged extramarital affairs with ’40 to 45 women’ and his alleged laughter as a pastor friend raped a parishioner.” For a very religious man, such as Kirk, this would qualify MLK as being an awful person. I can’t say whether this charge is true and neither can you prove it is false. But it comes from someone who can be considered a reliable source. Does characterizing a man, who if he really did act in the manner described, as a bad person, make Kirk a racist?
Wait. MLK was a complete cad and scoundrel. MLK boinked two women the night before he was assassinated. He plagiarized to obtain a doctorate. He claimed he was a PhD when the university adjudicated him culpable and ineligible but declined to withdraw his degree, presumably based on a feared of being described as racist. He defrauded the public. He defrauded a Deity. He defrauded a congregation. He lied to his own wife and family. He lied to America. For crying out loud, whatever do you consider immoral, illegal, or just plain bad and wrong?
“FBI memos” allegedly from an unidentified person—and you and Kirk automatically believe this and publish it? Your post proves my point. You and Kirk choose to ignore all of MLK’s accomplishments and believe this crap because you are racist, just like Hoover, who hated MLK and had these memos created because he was jealous and wanted to destroy his legacy.
These “memos” were debunked years ago. Have you seen a single interview with any woman who ever said anything to support this garbage? If there was any quantum of proof of any facts claimed in the “memo”, there would be no MLK holiday or memorials.
OTOH, there’s plenty of women who have claimed Trump sexually assaulted them—he’s even bragged about getting away with it—and cheated on his various wives, but you MAGAS still support him. Some of Trump’s victims have testified under oath—like E Jean Carroll, and others, like Stormy Daniels, have gone public. Then, there’s Trump’s year’s long friendship with a child sex trafficker and the lewd drawing he denied existed and keeps lying about— yet you MAGAS keep the faith. And you wonder why the majority of Americans aren’t MAGA and why Trump’s poll numbers are underwater.
Just more lies and gaslighting from Gigi. What else are we expected to expect? Lies. Gaslighting.
Looks like you have Gigi Derangement Syndrome.
Look at her post. Gigi is deranged.
They’re not trying to convince us. They’re trying to convince themselves. The Blue Wall needs a new coat of lies.
“Denied that Israel is starving Gazan citizens. So, I guess all of the footage showing starving people and aid trucks lined up for miles blocked from entering Gaza were all generated by AI?”
When reality doesn’t meet expectations, they create a conspiracy. There is tremendous documentation that Israel is not preventing food from entering Gaza. One can obtain confirmation from statements from the UN.
Gigi, your conspiracy theory is one of the many reasons I can comfortably call you an antisemite and/or downright ignorant. There are many more statements you made that further confirm your antisemitism.
Accept it and move on. You are an antisemite.
S. Meyer………………great comment, as always.
Thanks, Cindy. How is your daughter doing?
S. Meyer. You think Moses is an antisemite .. . so a few grains of salt if you please.
Again, Israel is not the nation-state of Judaism (ie. a theocracy) and criticism of Israel is not the same thing as antisemitic.
*hope this helps
“criticism of Israel is not the same thing as antisemitic.”
You are an antisemite, so why should we listen to you? Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. It’s your double standard that stands out tall and demonstrates to people what you are.
Here again, Meyer simply dismisses his critics by declaring them to be antisemitic, and not worth listening to.
He is always unquestionably correct in all things, and by definition any personal criticism is an open display of antisemitism, and is met with snotty, condescending insults.
He never, ever defends his statements and opinions, instead asserting that he is Jewish, so therefore he must always be right.
Another faceless thing slithering out of the muck where only parasites thrive. I don’t waste truth on cowards too afraid to even show their names.
S. Meyer
Those darned antisemites are everywhere, aren’t they.
You are completely surrounded by them.
Everywhere you look there are antisemites.
Here, there, and everywhere, nothing but antisemites.
There is no question that they are out to get you.
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of unwarranted distrust and suspicion of others that involves interpreting their motives as malicious.
Patients with paranoid personality disorder distrust others and assume that others intend to harm or deceive them, even when they have no or insufficient justification for these feelings.
antisemite ^^^
It is true, there is a lot of antisemitism, and it has been going on since the beginning. It isn’t surprising that you are one as well.
For the record, Meyer, my ancestors fled the great pogroms of Russia and eventually made it to America.
I am Jewish by descent and ethnicity, but certainly not by practice.
Recent DNA testing by FamilyTreeDNA shows that I carry the Cohanim haplotype, meaning that I am supposedly a direct descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses. So there is a good chance that I am “more Jewish” than you.
Of course, this is all hogwash as far as I am concerned. I am an atheist and reject all forms of religion. There is no god. Man created god, not the other way around.
You are simply a bigoted, zealous Zionist who sees antisemitism everywhere you look.
In your twisted mind, any personal criticism is interpreted as antisemitism.
You seem to think that because you are Jewish, you are always right about everything.
You do not seem to understand that even Jewish people can be stupid ignorant fools with bigoted views, and that it is perfectly reasonable to point this out when necessary.
You simply use your Judaism as a shield to deflect criticism, and denigrate your critics, without offering any argument in support of your opinions.
You seem to think you can win any argument simply by declaring your critics to be antisemitic.
You may be Jewish, but you are also an ignorant, supercilious, condescending fool.
@Sigmund Fraud: I don’t care if you have Jewish ancestry or not. I suspected you might be a non-observant Jew like many others on the blog. They stay anonymous, and cowardly.
I don’t care if you are a Kohen, something I know better than you think, because I am one, though I don’t say it. It makes me neither better nor worse. Being Jewish comes from birth to a Jewish mother; being righteous comes from living by the Torah’s ethics and morality. I don’t care what faith someone holds, or if they hold none, as long as they live by those principles. If they do, they are under one God as I see it, and I am just as glad if they are Jews, people of other faiths, or even those who have never read the Torah but still live by its moral and ethical truths.
I can’t stand those who climb a stepstool (like you) to sneer down at their brethren by flaunting Jewish or Kohanim status. Deeds matter, not boasts or bloodlines.
“You are simply a bigoted, zealous Zionist who sees antisemitism everywhere you look.”
No. I see you for what you are, a petty man and a coward. You hide behind anonymity to sling antisemitic tropes without consequence. That cowardice is why I treat you as an antisemite: you parrot antisemitic framing, then scurry where you can’t be held accountable. I don’t know who you are, and you can’t outrun what your own words expose. You lurk in the shadows and throw stones, then pretend the darkness makes you innocent.
Your words condemn you.
Look at your quote: “You seem to think that because you are Jewish, you are always right about everything.” Even that reeks of antisemitism. You follow it with: “You do not seem to understand that even Jewish people can be stupid ignorant fools with bigoted views”. More of the same. There are plenty of stupid and prejudiced Jews. You are one of them.
I don’t need Judaism as a shield to protect me from anything, but you need your anonymity to protect you from everything.
Just as I thought.
Your diatribe simply confirms what I suspect about you.
You are a stupid, arrogant “holier than thou” person who believes that he can dismiss all personal criticism as antisemitism.
The only sneering going on here is yours,
You sneeringly dismiss me as a cowardly non-observant Jew, as if that characterization immediately renders my opinions on any matter to be worthless.
You are a religious zealot.
You are no different than Islamic jihadists, and Christian fundamentalists who all believe that they are the chosen ones and everyone else is to be condemned.
You are all cast from the same mold. You are all fanatical, intolerant, religious extremists.
Your critical thinking skills are so constrained by your irrational, religious fanaticism, that you are utterly incapable of understanding that people here criticize you because you are an idiot, not because you are Jewish.
At least you admit that there are stupid and prejudiced Jews, but unfortunately you lack the insight to realize that you are one of them.
@Sigmund Fraud or anonymous or James Bond or anyone else:
The fact that I reproduced your tropes on Judaism and Jews, while showing how self-centered you are, clearly got under your skin. Good. Next time, think before you write.
You are the typical anonymous coward, and Jewish as well, yet you make sure to tell us you don’t believe in God. That’s fine. Perhaps you’ll still choose to follow the ethics and morality of the Torah. At the very least, a good read of the Torah might improve your understanding of the world you live in.
“You are a religious zealot.”
A religious zealot? Far from it. I’m simply an ethical and moral person who believes in the goodness of people and in gratitude. You lack both.
Since you brought it up, let’s think about the ethics and morality of the Torah.
I believe the Torah has a few thoughts about how to treat foreigners and strangers.
Welcoming the stranger, or immigrant, is a core part of Jewish tradition, mentioned 36 times in the Torah.
Leviticus commands, “The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love them as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (19:33-34).
The Torah requires that immigrants be treated with compassion, love and justice, as a reminder of the brutal enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt.
“The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself” (Leviticus 19:33)
“Cursed is the one who corrupts justice in regard to an immigrant, orphan, or widow” (Deuteronomy 27:19)
How does this align with your MAGA views about immigrants ??
And don’t try to obfuscate by saying that only applies to legal immigrants.
You know perfectly well that the Torah demands that you treat ALL immigrants with compassion, especially if they are fleeing oppression and economic hardship.
After all, didn’t your ancestors and my ancestors flee to this country to be met with compassion.
You can’t simply shut the door to others after you have been given a great opportunity.
What about the concept of tzedakah. The Torah insists that Jews have a mandatory obligation to care for the poor and treat them with dignity.
How does this align with Trump’s intention to slash Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security Disability, food stamps, and many other safety net programs for the poor.
“Welcoming the stranger, or immigrant, is a core part of Jewish tradition”
It is better to look for agreement than to start with divisive rhetoric or a gotcha. There’s always time for tactics like that, but first, it helps for both sides to be on the same page. You should have done that here because your understanding of the Torah’s words is off.
Let me help you out. The Torah does command kindness toward the stranger, but it also distinguishes types of outsiders. A resident stranger may dwell under its laws, a foreigner may pass through, and hostile nations are barred from dwelling in the land
The Torah commands compassion, but it also commands boundaries. The same can be said for President Trump, and if you wish, we can discuss each of your items individually.
Looks like we’re just a bunch of stupid monkeys jumping up and down on a ball of mud spinning its way through nothingness. To preserve our civilization, such as it is, we need to break the cycle of violence and that requires a solution that is compatible with our primitive nature.
So the question is this: what prominent Lefty will be offered up in sacrifice to balance to books and satisfy the blood for blood requirement?
Clearly the assassin won’t do since a knight for a pawn doesn’t pay the debt.🤔
How about the 2 Minnesota state officials who were murdered in June–they were ELECTED officials—not pundits. How about the fire set at PA Gov. Shapiro’s home? He and his family are lucky they didn’t get killed. How about Gabby Giffords, shot outside of a supermarket while speaking to her constituents? What do you mean by “balancing the books”? WHAT “books”? WHAT “left-leaning” media outlet or politician has advocated for “balancing the books”? If any “side” is promoting violence, it’s MAGA–which isn’t even a “side” because most Americans are NOT MAGA. Trump is underwater politically–proven by poll after poll. Like many Americans, I didn’t know anything about Kirk before he got shot, because, like most Americans, I am not a MAGA. MAGA media is attempting to elevate this person to some status that is not consistent with his standing.
“I don’t know anything about Kirk”
According to a recent poll, 63% of Americans are “somewhat” or “very” familiar with Charlie Kirk.
By contrast, only 58% knew who Franklin Roosevelt was, only 39% knew who Dwight Eisenhower was, and a mere 19% could name the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.
We’re glad you finally admitted how woefully ignorant you are, Gigenius.
And here I thought you were just STUPID.
One problem the person who did this was a friend of Timmy
He gave him the job…. OPPS
What books? The Cosmic Ledger!
“How about the fire set at PA Gov. Shapiro’s home? He and his family are lucky they didn’t get killed.”
You are an antisemite, so you should be able to recognize potential antisemitism.
Balmer, the arsonist at Josh Shapiro’s house, appeared to hold radical pro-Palestinian and antisemitic views, and his actions fit a pattern more commonly associated with the far left than the right. He was also mentally ill something we have to consider about Gigi.
Here is the Office Depot employee, caught on camera, refusing to print a poster for a prayer vigil, even though the print job was paid for four hours prior. Her reason? A prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk is “political propaganda.”
https://x.com/MIForward_Net/status/1966636154301669810
OldManFromKS,
And Office Depot fired her.
And that is want needs to happen. Their words and actions have consequences.
We need to continue to promote what Charlie Kirk represented, the value of the 1stA and the Constitution. Speak boldly. Speak with civility. Speak intelligently. Hold those who are responsible to undermine those pliers of society accountable. Like Pelosi and her ilk.
Did you see the picture of her…. O-brother, she was a crazy lib for sure
The abuse of the lowly when they think they have power. Very common…
Read my post above that cites some of Kirk’s rhetoric–if anyone has been undermining the “piers of society”, it’s people who promote misogyny, racism, xenophobia, accepting gun violence and the other propaganda set forth above, which are un-American.
Yuo posted nothing to back up this claim geoege. Nice try
You play the same game as DG
You said you knew nothing about charlie kirk
Now you claim to know him intimately from your 5 minute google search of left wing rags.
GFY Gigenius, you hateful disgusting troll.
“And Office Depot fired her.”
That would not have happened under Biden, and the Trump administration is holding firm. Thank you, Kansas and Upstate.
I think things are turning around but history tells us if we are not vigilant, the same things will happen.
Yes – and Office Depot fired her.
If true, this explains a lot

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me.
The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI.
Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter.

Why is she betraying her true love Tyler? It was such a romantic gesture?
Now that we know his boyfriend was a trans, it all makes sense. No wonder his father turned him in.
Trans ideology is a disease and those who support it are problematic for present and future generations.
Spend on minute reading the comments on a MAGA blog, or other places MAGAs congregate online. Then compare their rhetoric to the same on the progressive side. The is a very stark difference where the MAGAs are massively more violent. You don’t have to go past this blog to get the point.
You also see the same difference in hateful rhetoric.
Most liberal sites won’t let people post. Because liberals say such disgusting violent things. Also because liberal sites don’t allow different opinions. And if they do, and you disagree in even one comment you are banned immediately.
This blog shadow moderates and bans liberals. Not all of the comments, but enough. Also the now almost-MAGA WaPo has censorship that would make a nun blush. Reditt is even worse. They use automated software for permanent bans. But somehow hateful MAGAs are still allowed.
Sure…. Notice that ANO & George post all the lime…
Bet you are lying… Anything to keep the hate train going.
Cant see where anyone called for the death of Hakeem Jeffries.
You must be another paranoid schizophrenic leftist.
A George Soros mindless drone.
I have compared and liberals are definitely more violent. But the leaders are who matter and the Democrats leaders are calling for punching conservatives in the face and giving them no peace. No Republicans leaders are talking like that. The proof is no liberal school children are being killed by conservatives. No liberal pundits are being killed by conservatives. No liberal politicians are being shot at by conservatives. And no Republicans are killing other Republicans like in Minnesota. Minnesota shows even with in their own party Democrats resort to violence to achieve their aims.
Okay. Point them out here on the so-called MAGA professor’s blog. Where are we calling for violence? If anything, I have been calling for more of Charlie Kirk’s like debate. Not for violence. Yet, it is, as the good professor points out, the Democrats whom are in fact calling for fighting in the streets. Punching others in the mouth. Rage rhetoric coming from the Democrats.
Please. Prove me wrong.
Dear Prof Turley,
At this time, I am unable to ascribe any motive or reason for the assassination of Charlie Kirk. To suggest Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jefferies and a chorus of ‘left’ wing loons influenced the young assassin’s motive is a bit premature.
If he was ‘on a mission’, as reported, I’m unclear whose mission he was on?
*like the young Trump shooter, I will say he was, allegedly, quite a good marksman with remarkable cold-blooded nerves of steel for such a young age .. . it’s not easy to pull the trigger with accuracy.
Dg…
Leave it alone. I pretty sure you are NO kind of marksmen.
You seen to think you know it all.
Why are you still here, Dusty? If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
*you know nothing .. . I was the long-range Turkey shoot champion at 12yrs old thanks to my trusty British 303 I won in a poker game.
“Now i know i hate him”
Good hate me… I enjoy when I catch libs lying
That was about snoden dum dum
30 06 is great for long distance shots. I know because I hunter-ed deer when 200 yards shots were nothing. How much shooting experience he may have had is not known.
Heck in my young days in the military. We shot M-16 with iron sights and far more then 200 yards.
So yeah, leave it alone. You show up here acting like you know it all. It’s no wonder many of the people laugh at these comments of yours.
Hitting a deer in the body and a human in the neck at 200 yds are two different things. Did you hit every deer and target 200 yds away exactly where you aimed? Then put the pressure of shooting a human and of getting away and it’s not a easy shot. The kid had experience with rifles and had practiced. Also people overestimate distances. The average deer in my state is shot at 75 yds. I have proven that to people by taking they to an official range and their marksmanship is nowhere any where their bragging.
You have never hunted, have you. Mr Kirk was sitting still in a open tent.
Deer move all the time. Most of deer shots were 200 +
This young man was 200 yards with with a good rifle and a scope. We have no idea if his shot was for the head or???
You are just guessing. As I said. In the service we shot M-16 and more then 300 yards with iron sights. The Marine corp is even harder.
I dont believe it hit him in the neck.
I believe it hit him in the chest, and the bullet either ricocheted into his neck or a fragment of the tee shirt body armor he was wearing hit him.
In the video, there is a concussion of sufficient magnitude to lift kirks tee shirt several inches, which would not have happened if the bullet went thru his neck.
It also appears that his chest moves back as his head moves forward, like one would if they were hit or shoved in the chest really hard.
I imagine our leftists friends learned their lesson about attempting head shots from that distance, after Pennsylvania.
Anon S, consider the facts that the shooter was in a prone position, shooting downward in good light at a person sitting in a chair and not moving.
No one cares if you can ascribe a motive, because the FBI already has done that. You are not the center of the universe, you are not Mr. Turlely’s only reference. On other words no one cares what you think.
What motive has the FBI ascribed?
*also, the universe does not have a ‘center’ (nor a beginning or end), and I was not aware ‘Mr. Turley has ever referenced me at all’? .. I’ve never met Prof Turley.
Look folks DG brother is here
Man Charged with Threats Against the President, the Vice President, and a Former President
Friday, August 23, 2024
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Tennessee
MEMPHIS, TN – United States Attorney Kevin G. Ritz today announced that a Memphis-area man has been charged with making threats against President Joseph R. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama.
On July 27, 2024, Kyl Alton Hall, 37, made numerous posts on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). Specifically, in the posts, he threatened to kill, assassinate, shoot, and crash the plane of President Biden; assassinate Vice President Harris; and assassinate former President Obama.
A federal indictment returned on August 20, 2024, charged Hall with two counts of threats to a sitting President and Vice President in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 871(a), and one count of a threat to a former President under Section 879(a)(1).

Good.
Earlier, Lin mentioned stochastic terrorism (which I had to look up), and she later explained that “the intent is to rile and unite others, all while standing back as an innocent bystander not personally engaged in any violence.”
People like Lieutenant Tom Keefer in The Caine Mutiny. They’re just as villainous as the murderers.
I saw that.
Stochastic terrorism = rabble rousers. .. and there’s plenty of that going around.
*in my head, Nancy Pelosi has a long tongue .. . and so does Trump.
Did Trump rouse the rabble on January 6?
No. He did not. He told those to do it peacefully.
Thanks for answering the idiot, Upstate. The Left will always try to play the “both sides” game but they will be wrong as they always are. It is abundantly clear that there’s a culture of violence and murder on the Left which involves a large percentage of the base approving of violence, and there is no similar culture on the right. That is uncomfortable for some to admit (like the idiot you answered), but the truth is what it is.
While the Left commits actual violence in large numbers (think of the “mostly peaceful” summer of love protests), the Left would prefer to go after – and label as domestic terrorists – concerned moms at school board meetings, dads praying peacefully near abortion clinics, and traditional Catholics who celebrate the Latin mass.
‘Left’ is a directional heading.
*pls list the ‘left’ who ‘commit actual violence’ … name, rank, serial number etc.
Apparently you never heard of the summer of love riots for Saint George, the Portland violence against federal buildings, the two assassination attempts on Trump, the murder of Charlie Kirk, the Bernie Bro who shot up a Republican Congressman baseball game, and many more.
Pro tip: try google.
As far as I know, all those people have been, or will be, adjudicated in courts of law. They were not adjudicated on the basis of what Nancy Peloi, Hakkeem or what their chorus of ‘left’ wing surrogates in the media were saying .. . that’s hearsay, if not heresay.
In fact, read a story on the 2nd Trump shooter, allegedly, today .. . one flew over the coocoo’s nest.
*google ain’t what it used to be .. . if it ever was.
Yet DG this loon would be the best person to pick. The left is good at that.
Maybe you should speak to Bill Ayers.
The left is running on hype and anger now. We see it in the assassination attempts and successes, the behavior of the mainstream media, the universities, and the sheer idiocy coming from Democrat leaders. They know their misdeeds are under scrutiny, and without the control they once had, they can no longer throw innocent J6 defendants in jail while ignoring the rioters who burned cities and killed people. Now they may actually have to pull back, just as they’ve been forced to do before.
They resort to Stochastic terrorism as Lin pointed out. Just look at the list the good professor points out. Their words inspired and incited for actual violence to conservatives. We all see it.
Why don’t you simply use “random”?
OBVIOUSLY stochastic terrorism has been studied in social psychology.
Yes. .. that’s the world I was looking for.
The good professor provides a list of those who have incited violence. And now, Pelosi is trying, and failing, to distance herself from her own words.
So long as we are not doing as the left constantly does and trying to define intent as a crime.
That ultimately leads to oppresive govenrment that punishes citizens for their opinions.
In my head, I am picturing a Mad Magazine cartoon, showing a lineup of several persons while an armed officer points a gun at the lineup and asks someone, “Please point to the offender.” Under each “suspect” is a dialogue poster:
“I hate Charlie Kirk.”
BANG
“I hate Democrats.”
BANG
“I do not believe in God.”
BANG
“God’ll Get You for that.”
BANG
“Republicans are racist, fascist, trans-haters.”
BANG
“Democrats are lying, deviant, violent losers.”
BANG
“Take it to the streets!”
BANG
“Guns kill people.”
BANG
“See, I told you.”
BANG
“We ALL have to go to the bathroom. [visibly shaking]”
GUN RELOAD.
“OK. Take one step forward. One at a time. And hurry up.”
*. Aren’t we in black culture and whites are having difficulty because it’s repugnant to them? Isn’t that it? Louis Farakahn chose Islam. Was it for the polygamy or the pedo feel ya?
So will there be white States or will they simply face genocide, Lin?
Lin – reminds me of a story a little kid told me at Shabbat dinner last night. He related as follows: “There were two death row inmates waiting to be executed on a particular day. The first was given a choice: electric chair or firing squad. He chose the electric chair. It malfunctioned and he went back to his cell. On the way back he passed the cell of the other inmate and whispered, ‘Psst, the electric chair is malfunctioning.’ When the other inmate was called, he was given the same choice. He responded, ‘The electric chair isn’t working, so I’ll take the firing squad.'”
Young parasitic liberal communist wackjobs listen to old parasitic liberal communist wackjobs.
They demand the Enslavement of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto over the Freedom and Self-Reliance of the American Founders’ Constitution and Bill of Rights.
They really, really, really want all of Other People’s Money.
They really, really, really want state care and solicitude from womb to tomb.
They listen to any idiot who falsely promises it.
And they demand the murder of sovereign human beings in the womb and the dominion of unnatural, deviant, and aberrant perversions and freaks of nature.
Did Charlie Kirk commit treason by giving aid and comort to Russia so it could commit genocide against Ukrainians?
Hey Ano.
Ya got nothing, but I do enjoy watching you cry
You’re the one crying about Goebbels.
Not really I know his history, what about you?
No ATS – your posts are not merely false – they are increasingly absurd.
You analogies involving Goebbels or Ukraine are childish and shallow.
You are just willfully ignorant of it.
No. Kirk did not. It was Biden the Butcher who squashed the tentative peace deal they had in the spring of 2022 and promoted the death of hundreds of thousands and the destruction. Had it not been for Biden the Butcher, thousands would be alive today.
No, but he will win the Congressional Medal of Honor for singlehandedly destroying a Nazi Panzer Division at The Battle of Kursk.
“If we’re going to change the meaning of every word that doesn’t suit us, we might as well just grunt at each other and act like demons.” Welcome to discourse with the left.
Are you guys saying that words can indeed break bones as well as sticks and stones can?
They are crying over words like a bunch of snowflakes.
Human behavior is learned. .. so be careful what you learn.
*sweet dreams are made of these .. .
Finally someone posts something good here.
No. We are not. What we are saying is that, H/T to Lin, by the use of Stochastic terrorism, Democrats have used their words to incite rage of young people to commit acts of violence, even assassinations. As the good professor lists of many Democrats using the age of rage to incite Stochastic terrorism to commit violence and even murder against their political opponents.
No, no one is saying that.
I am astounded and really disappointed at the wave of schadenfreude at Charlie Kirk’s assassination expressed on line by people high and low across this country. Charlie Kirk the autodidact that he was, purposely went to universities to state his positions and debate them with the audience. He openly acknowledged that many disagreed with him but that respectfully debating was at the core of free speech. He embodied the famous quote about Voltaire by the historian Evelyn Beatrice Hall, “‘I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. So when Nancy Pelosi seems to excuse harsh rhetoric by saying, “we cannot take responsibility for those minds that are out there and how they hear it.”, she misses the essential point of Charlie Kirk’s example of debate. We need more of Charlie Kirk’s debating, which requires work, and less of the cheap, mindless, & harsh rhetoric that is designed to get clicks.
Excellent
Arnold,
Isn’t it rich how the great Nancy P. Lousy doesn’t wanna take responsibility for her words, and others of her party, regarding how others might hear them, yet her hand-picked J-6 Select Committee tried to accuse Trump of inciting an insurrection with his words and hold him responsible for his speech?
If Trump’s guilty of inciting an insurrection (i.e. riot), then perhaps Democrat leaders aughtta take a good, long, hard look in the mirror before casting aspersions.
As Jesus Christ so eloquently put it, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Sidebar: experienced FBI agents who’ve experienced the utter incompetence of Ka$h buddy call him inspector Closeau behind his back. Gigantic loser. Or rather, short person loser it sounds like.
The same FBI who still hasn’t figured out the Las Vegas shooting? The Trump assassination attempt in Butler? How Routh got the money to travel the world even though he’s broke and has no job? Who planted the January 6 bombs at the Republican and DNC HQs? Who brought the fake guillotine to Jan 6? THAT FBI?
HAHAHA nice retort CM
Name the FBI agents who are saying that. And, by the speed which the FBI found and arrested the Kirk assassin, they seem a whole lot more competent under the Trump admin than the Biden admin. The Biden admin was calling parents concerned for their children’s education, domestic terrorists.
ATS – what credibility do you have ?
Why should anyone beleive you ?
What have you ever been right about ?
