Jimmy Kimmel is back on television by less than popular demand. Kimmel’s ratings are hardly robust (Kimmel pulls in 1.85 million in comparison to Gutfeld! at 3.2 million). Still, his suspension for spreading disinformation about the killer of Charlie Kirk became a cause celebre on the left. Kimmel continues to air nightly screeds against Trump and conservatives. Of course, he is hardly unique in appealing to an echo-chambered audience. However, this week Kimmel showed children being read Eric Trump’s book by a drag queen. What was most disturbing was not the use of the children to echo talking points on how great drag queens are, but showing them throwing Trump’s book into a wood chipper. It appears that nothing is funnier for the modern left than a good book burning or chipping.
Trixie Mattel led the “Drag Queen Storytime” with a group of kids in the satiric treatment of Trump’s book. Mattel asked the kids questions like “Do I scare any of you?” eliciting a response: “You just look amazing. Why would that be scary?”
The children are given choices to read like Collectible Spoons of the Third Reich.
It may be the most bizarre element of the skit, even bordering on the ironically humorous. After all, Mattel was portraying the Trump Administration as Nazis, but was about to show the children how to destroy books that have views that they do not like. That may not bring back memories of collectible Nazi spoons, but it does bring back memories of Nazi book burning.
The audience delights as one child says that she would “kick” Donald Trump “in the…” before the show bleeped out the rest of her response.
Mattel then shows the kids how to “make excellent confetti” out of a book that they do not like with a giant wood chipper outside of the studio. It is the type of comedic styling that would have had Joseph Goebbels rolling on the ground laughing.
For the free-speech community, there are few more disgraceful images as the burning or destruction of books because you do not agree with the author’s viewpoints. To see children participating in such an exercise is even more troubling.
It is easy to dismiss this as simply another bizarre skit on a show struggling for ratings. However, some of us have been raising concerns for years about the embrace of the American left in effective (or even actual) book burning. Some on the right have also embraced book burning.
Cancel campaigns of conservative speakers were not enough for many on the left. They have pressured companies not to publish books by conservatives, including figures like Justice Amy Coney Barrett. It is far easier (and environmentally sound) to ban opposing books than to physically burn them. However, the sentiment is the same. Rather than responding to those who oppose you, you fight to silence them and prevent others from reading them.
Books by JK Rowling have been burned because of her opposition to certain transgender policies that she views as undermining women’s rights.
That is why the image of children happily tossing books into a wood chipper is so disturbing for many in the free speech community. This is not just satire but reality as many push to destroy books with opposing views.
None of this means that there is any crime in this comedic sketch. Even book burning is protected speech. Yet, the humor is missed by many of us who have been objecting to the rise of a new generation of self-righteous book burners in America.
From a drag performer:
I love drag. I have done drag. Many of my favorite celebrities are drag queens. If you asked me a decade ago what I thought of, say, RuPaul sashaying into a library in full sparkling evening gown glory to read a popular children’s book to kids, I would have said it was hilarious. RuPaul’s Drag Race did for drag queens what Will & Grace did for gays in the 2000s. I would argue most Americans can name a favorite drag queen at this point.
But something has also changed in how Americans see drag. Drag queens went from a favorite gif to add to a particularly sassy tweet to the manifestation of everything conservative Americans fear about LGBTQ activism, especially toward children.
It might seem easy to dismiss these concerns as an overreaction or even as an expression of bigotry, but conservatives are right about this one.
[]
By its very nature, drag is already unsuitable for children, based on the culture it flourished in and the way the artform communicates to its audience. It barely translates outside of the LGBTQ cultural bubble. The more you remove these elements, the less it resembles drag and the more it looks like advocacy for something kids just shouldn’t be exposed to. You take away the cursing, the sexual inuendo, the revealing clothes, the provocative dress and the sharp political commentary, and you are left with an adult man in a dress mocking women and trying to convince children he is an ambassador for an entire community.
It just doesn’t work. It cannot work.
Some cultural experiences are simply meant for adults and drag is one of them. They are not clowns or cartoon characters. They are not educators or counselors. They are entertainers. Their job is to take obscenity and irreverent humor and make it as glorious and exaggerated as their wigs and makeup.
By taking away the adult nature of drag, you ruin it, and by forcing it into children’s spaces, you turn it into something threatening and vile.
Leave the kids alone. They will have plenty of opportunities to discover the joy of drag when they are adults and old enough to appreciate it for what it is.

Trump says a beautiful woman has to have her own special scent. Oh you dirty boy, I thought you were a gentleman.
You claim that you could argue that “…most Americans could name a favorite drag queen at this point.” Absolutely incorrect, in my opinion. Not only could I not name a “favorite” drag queen, I could not name ANY drag queen! Additionally, a quick survey of some random people I know (about 20-25) revealed that nobody could name a single drag queen that they were aware of. How is that possible? Well, none of us (age group-40’s to late 70’s) watch late night talk shows, give a rat’s behind about modern “entertainment”, not do we follow any of this “latest” crap that you seem to think is so “mainstream”. Take that, for what it is worth.
I can name one! Lily Savage! I came across him when looking for a youtube video on ShangHai Lil! Here it is! Even has Benny Hill in it! And Michael Ball, of Phantom of the Opera fame:
Floyd, you do realize that Kimmel isn’t advocating that Drag Queens be the reading leader of the week? That Kimmel’s team is conjuring, and to good effect, that this is a nightmare scenario for conservatives who cannot handle any deviation from their closeted norms.
Also, the children don’t know about any of that baggage. How little difference there is between them and the powdered wig and faces of the French Aristocracy wearing short pants and silk stockings or seeing that Peter Pan is traditionally played by a girl or woman. They didn’t seem threatened and the vile part was entirely absent.
It’s not clear that Drag Queen is a regulated industry. I saw no mocking at all.
Those quotes are from a person who felt they had gender dysphoria.
“Worse, far too many have chosen to disregard the concept of appropriateness altogether, performing dance routines, wearing costumes and portraying the same bombastic, and overtly sexual characters in front of kids as they would in front of adults.”
Was there a dance routine or some overtly sexual behavior in the Kimmel bit? If you saw it, that’s a cross for you to bear. It seems you believe that drag queens are mindless sexual predators, but the lengthy list of conservatives going to prison for child porn and for raping children continues to grow. AFAIK, the list of drag queens accused of sexual assault of children remains blank.
Chad Felix Greene is the author of Surviving Gender: My Journey Through Gender Dysphoria.
It seems like Chad was marketing his book back on JUN 15, 2023 https://www.newsweek.com/drag-never-appropriate-kids-opinion-1807055
Here’s a link to other articles he wrote for the Huffington Post: https://www.huffpost.com/author/chadfelixgreene-862

He does seem to have a rut.
“Kimmel’s team is conjuring, and to good effect, that this is a nightmare scenario for conservatives who cannot handle any deviation from their closeted norms.”
We got us a Tranny Democrat assuring us that conservatives are devastated by Kimmel’s rendition of a hajji terrorist madrassa in Gaza, or Hitler’s earlier Hitler Youth camps!
Kimmel is terrifying those conservatives as they watch the numbers of those watching his political theater soar each night, and more and more conservatives accepting drag queens dressed like cheap back alley whores reading porn like “Gender Queer” to their children.
Oh yeah… this Tranny Democrat has sold us all on his Furry version! Things. That. Never. Happened.
Gaslighting
Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by a low-IQ perpetrator of those they hope to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or persons. This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used with the intent to have their victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational. Within personal relationships, it is a form of psychological abuse and torture. The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: lying, blame shifting, countering, trivializing and withholding.
^^^Said while gaslighting^^^
I should hardly think that that were Der Horbuchsprecher dressed in black SS finery, that one would require actual pelvic thrusts (Das Beckenschub) before offense was taken.
Hot damn! I found the Time Warp in German:
http://www.rockymusic.org/mp3/castalbums/1980-german-09.mp3
I doubt I could name anyone I knew in the military who “had a favorite drag queen”. That’s something that never existed. But… perhaps we would have found a drag performance entertaining if it had ever appealed to us enough to bother to go watch one.
The bigger thing – which the article gets close to recognizing – is that “drag queen story hour” tends to involve “drag queens” dressed like cheap whores, not those childrens’ mothers, grandmothers, etc. And then reading material with sexual overtones – sometimes flat out child pornography i.e. “gender queer”.
What is also noticeable is that these Drag Queens never do the same costume and performance in American Legions, veteran’ retirement homes, etc.
Now why would these entertainers want to deprive those American military veterans (and those still serving) of what they’re so excited to put on display in front of primary school children?
Well… how about doing the performance in a bar up in Alaska full of rig pigs, just in off the oil patch, looking for a few drinks and entertainment? Why deprive them of the entertainment they’re eager to put in front of children.
There’s a pattern here…
Trump posted a video of him dressed as a king in a fighter dropping shit onto protesters. How is that not far worse that what Trixie did?
AI generated content, no children were involved, no drag queens grooming children, no destruction of books because it was a different point of view, just like the Nazis did. As the good professor points out, had Goebbels been alive, “It is the type of comedic stylings that would have had Joseph Goebbels rolling on the ground laughing.”
No different than a late night sketch. Either both are to be taken seriously are both are not.
We might draw some humor from a left green agenda willing to dump a big Carbon footprint from the wood chipper to turn the book into compost.
Mike, it’s a common conservative misunderstanding. While I can see that those on the right all think the exact same things as their leader, Holiest of Holies, Savior of the World, Emporer and He Who Must Be Obeyed, Donald J. Trump;
those on the Left are actually a rather diverse bunch of thinkers in relation to their dedication to every facet of that side of the aisle.
Conservatives march in a lock-step that would make Kim Jong Un shed a tear for their precision; those on the left are more like a herd of cats moving in a general direction but with a great deal of variety in exactly how and how fast. If using the fuel and accepting the carbon footprint of a moment’s use of a wood chipper can help unseat a President who is trying to force the power generating industry to burn radioactive material spewing coal that they abandoned for being uneconomical more than a decade ago, yeah, that’s worth it. Lest you think naw, it’s true that nuclear power generates less atmospheric radioactive pollutants than are released from having been trapped in coal does at power plants.
“those on the Left are actually a rather diverse bunch of thinkers in relation to their dedication to every facet of that side of the aisle. [NB:Look at how we compassionately embrace Jews on our campuses!]”

Projection:
Channeling one’s actions onto others typically refers to the psychological concept of projection, where an emotionally disturbed individual unconsciously or deliberately attributes their own thoughts, feelings, and anti-social or criminal behaviors onto someone else. This is an internal defense mechanism which allows a person to avoid confronting their own behavior and guilt by seeing them as the thoughts and actions of someone else who they despise and hate instead.
Everyone should ask themselves why adult men who have made themselves into sexualized caricatures of women find it so imperative to read books to young children and now teach them to destroy the books the drag queens don’t like. These exaggerated bosomy female facsimiles in clown make-up are not going to hospitals, retirement or nursing homes where their reading efforts might be appreciated are they? They are grooming impressionable young kids pure and simple to desensitize them to adult sex fetishes with a bonus of nasty leftist acts like book pulping. Disgusting. Parents who expose their kids to this are either nitwits who lack protective instincts for their offspring or glad of the help indoctrinating their young with loser leftist ideology. Either way, this is child abuse.
Yep, exactly! Child abuse.
Laine,
Well said.
I looked up this “Trixie Mattel,” person. Scary? No. Creepy? Yes.
The question I have, is what will these children grow up to be like? Or, if this exposure at such a young age, will the grow up anxious, depressed, even suicidal?
How often are you imagining that drag queens get made up to go to story time?
Also, you seem rather ignorant of clowns.
I imagine you would be happy with aversion training of children, strapped down with eyelid clamps to hold their eyes open while videos of drag queens play and shock collars are used to build a terror of them, ala A Clockwork Orange.
Kimmel is on rather late at night for children to be up and children aren’t his target audience, though is seems that some children are here to complain about it.
Audience of 1.85 million each nite in a Country of approx 340 millon people. Why bother even paying attention to him. He is literally the smallest of potatoes . Like an ant beneath the sole of your shoe.
I am reposting because I did not realize my comments would come up under Anonymous. I don’t want to be associated with that.
Kimmel’s latest reminds me of a story I read in 1963 in my mother’s Ladies Home Journal–James Clavell’s “The Children’s Story” where a teacher uses the Pledge of Allegiance and the American flag to indoctrinate the kids to believe both are meaningless. If you’ve never read the story, I encourage you to do so. One place to find it is the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point webpage. It was also made into a short film for television that can be seen on Youtube.

This is disgusting! All the hate is not one bit funny.
This is what happens when one gets consumed by hate: eventually one fails to notice they have indeed become the thing they thought they hated. I don’t see the point in censoring little Jimmy though – he makes a big enough ass of himself on his own to make him irrelevant. The one caveat I have is this disgusting trend, spanning years now, of using children who could probably care less either way as proxies for infantile and very personal adult boosheet.
The use of children is purposeful. They are more easily manipulated and indoctrinated than older people who have developed a resistance to absurd ideas. The drag queens and their promoters know this: get them young and you lock them in young, giving you a lifelong political ally. Manipulating children in this way is nothing short of satanic.
@oldman
Very much agreed, and it is reprehensible. Anyone that does this has automatically disqualified the point they were trying to make.
It’s part of what makes me think the originators of these ‘opinions’ are too young to have ever experienced much of anything firsthand whatsoever; Jimmy’s show has writers. They are likely half his age. Anyone above that threshold, though I suspect the majority aren’t in the current landscape, we are dealing largely with the under 45 that have been put in positions far beyond their actual capacity, is just a truly awful adult. And they too, exist.
James,
Well said. They run around, screaming everyone is a fascists or a Nazi, while by their increased words and actions appear like the fascists or Nazis. No one made them do it but themselves.
@Upstate
I really do see it all as an adult temper tantrum on the part of people that were simply raised to be that way; it’s just that in the broader world there are implications beyond the high chair, and they impact everyone, those beyond their bubble of comfort. I don’t know what we do but continue to educate, elucidate, and leave them far, far behind us. We have legitimate lost generations on our hands. We can’t stop being sane in spite of them. And they will never listen. We have to keep it up in spite of their lashing out. It’ll even, eventually. The road on the way may not be fun, but, it will.
The modern left doesn’t believe in it either, they have simply chosen to exploit it, thinking they can later contain the chaos. And that in itself is abhorrent, IMO.
It’s not just about hate. It’s about show me the money. Massive greed so thick it’d cut with a knife.
LET The WINGNUTS act this way, all day long, then let the court of public opinion be the ultimate arbitrator of free speech and decision making. We all know how that’s going to turn out. This is America, a country BUILT on choice, and Free 🆓 Speech is the backbone of that choice. This is the same conduct that Nancy Pelosi pulled at the end of Trump’s first term, she ochastrated the second impeachment against him a week before he left office, in an attempt to try to discourage people from Ever voting from him again. Guess what? That bonehead move backfired tremendously. In my opinion Trump was elected to a second term because that move (and a couple of other WINGNUT actions), because majority of Americans (outside the East and West Coasts) were not going to let some wingnut dictate to them who to vote for. Trump may not have been reelected “but for” a minority of WINGNUTS trying to dictate their political views on EVERYONE else. When you start pushing your political views, left OR right, on others that is where Americans draw the line and fight back. That’s where the rubber meets the road.
I don’t know if Turley makes money per/post, but I am certain that if certain anonymous posts and a few rather wing-nut crazy bots from the far, far left were to be removed, this would be a much more cogent and readable blog. Having to scroll through what seems miles and miles of useless anonymous postings just to find a salient point is getting wearisome. Sometimes I just don’t bother because scrolling past so much detritus takes too long and it is a waste of time since most of those posts are just rehashed prog talking points, plain utter nonsense, or reams of copy/past legal mumbo-jumbo that no one really reads.
WhimsicalMama,
I get what you are saying. The only upside with all the annonys and the wing-nut crazy bots from the far, far left, is they give insight into their thinking, or lack there of. Also the degree of denial or delusion they suffer from TDS. Then there is the one annony moron who makes simplistic, moronic comments highlighting how the far left is the exact kind of people moderate, sane and normal Democrats want out of their party.
That is true, but just go on tik tok or facebook, or even the evening news and those idiots are on full view 24/7. We do need much more resolved push back to their rantings and I am glad to see many more speaking up and confronting the wild imaginings of the prog insane asylum that we refer to as our world of academia.
As for cogent discussion, though, all that these progs bring is chaos and useless ramblings. Their “data base” is just a cauldron of propaganda and manufactured misinformation to keep their wild-eyed dreams alive. Take, for instance, the mamadani promise of free bus rides – all that will become is a traveling homeless shelter for all the drug addicts and mental cases thriving in NYC. The dumbass supporters of this promised gift are not even thinking about dealing with a bus already full of homeless pooping all over the seats.
There is NOTHING that a prog cultist can add to an intellectual discussion here since there is no intellectual content to their screeds – just repetition of useless and false propaganda.
*. Well mam, the pooping mental cases , homeless are Americans? The culture produced them? Drug addicts? The culture produced these citizens? They are equal, mam, to you?
What have you and your group done to find a solution to the pooping American class of garbage?
The reason successful cultures create laws that proscribe just what behavior is beneficial to the commonwealth is that we are well aware of human’s proclivity to do harm, not only to themselves but to others. The entire ideology of “be free to be me” (remember Mama Cass’s song “Make your own kind of music…) all of this societal anarchy is the result of people like you who do not want the responsibility of saying no. We see this in the spoiled brats on our streets, on our campuses and in our halls of legislatures.
The solution is to prohibit this and institutionalize those who willfully or because of mental illness will not follow laws. The Rule of Law is how you maintain civilization, not some bleeding heart liberal soft on crime nonsense that does nothing to help and only endangers all of us (including those mentally ill who are on our streets).
The best cure would be to end progressive ideologies from entering into our culture.
You must love North Korea where taking a poster of the Dear Leader is a 10 year prison sentence.
Ok, incarceration. 10- 20 years? Lifetime? That’s a solution. Arrest every pooping homeless person and incarcerate.
Better 3 hits and a cot than not.
“they give insight into their thinking, or lack there of”
There is little mystery about their “thinking”. They want to control everything everyone else does, says, or thinks, and they do not give a damn about how much or what kind of abuse it might take to achieve that. Period, end of story.
I shall refrain by your request.
“Jimmy Kimmel is back on television by less than popular demand. Kimmel’s ratings are hardly robust (Kimmel pulls in 1.85 million in comparison to Gutfeld! at 3.2 million). ”
Does a law professor not know that popularity is not a binary classification but is, instead, a continuum?
Adolf Hitler drew huge crowds and was very popular. I think the fixation on being more popular is not useful.
If there is insistence on the popularity contest, if you don’t have more than 1.85 Million fans you are obviously not popular either.
Kimmel was only off the air because 2 people didn’t like what he had to say; that’s not popularity, that’s an oligarchy.
Those two were the CEO of Sinclair Broadcasting and the CEO of another one that I chose not to look up. However, popular demand by Disney customers caused Disney to put Kimmel back on the air.
As an additional counterexample for why conservatives might want to step away from using popularity as a guide, Taylor Swift draws larger crowds than Trump does. Comparatively, no one wants to go and listen to Trump., while millions of people like to listen to Taylor Swift every single day. And Taylor uses her profits to provide generous bonuses to the people who worked for her at the end of her very successful tours. Trump hands out pardons for crimes people committed on his behalf or sends the DoJ to kick down their doors because they told the truth about Trump.
Swift 2028.
Anonymous, they wanted Kimmel off the air because he is losing the network boatloads of money.
No one should be surprised that they used kids in the skit. After all they’re willing to cut if the breasts and little girls and the penis of little boys. They don’t like the bible of God but they sure do like the bible of Caligula.
No he’s not. Shows that lose money get canceled. Never trust what the industry says a show costs to make, or what their true ad rates are for that matter. I work in that industry and know the subject matter.
The statement you’d be correct in making is that Kimmel used to be more profitable than he is now. Network TV is losing market share.
To the leftist Anonymous
Yes, Networks are losing market share and all late shows have tanked on the ratings. Reason enough for them to change their models. Which include firing all the high paid late night hosts and replace them for more economical entertainment. If you add their being deranged Trump haters and eliminating half their potential viewership from the picture not renewing their contracts when they expire is a good business move.
And by the way, there is a remedy for your double TDS (Trump DS and Turley DS) – see a good psychiatrist.
Late night still makes money. Just not as much. Just like all of network TV.
Change their models to what? Porn is pretty cheap to produce and very popular. Would that be the way to go? Or should it be talent-less insult actors like Gutfeld? Part of the reason for the drop-off is that the networks have been bought by ultraconservative billionaires who are changing the content and driving the audience away with poor lineups.
CBS, for example, is under the control of David Ellison via Paramount. David Ellison is the son of billionaire Larry Ellision, a strong supporter of Trump. CBS dropped the defense against a suit by Trump and gifted him $16 million as both a settlement and a way to undermine confidence in CBS to remain independent. This appears to have been an appeasement to the FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who only approved the deal after the settlement.
…
The first guy to coin “Bush Derangement Syndrome” was a bitter paralyzed guy who saw his entire future wiped out in a swimming accident and spent the rest of his life spewing venom. He found that the conservatives will pay for venom. It’s been borrowed by other venom spewing pundits with little to contribute otherwise. Congrats on joining that terrible group.
“No he’s not. Shows that lose money get canceled.”
You cosplay as working in the industry; that’s vague. Is that the food services truck from the local IATSE union local – or do you do viewer analysis for the board of directors?
Nowand you’re going to tell us that Rosanne Barr’s show was cancelled because her show was losing money at the time? Rather than because an oligarch named Obama – no longer in the White House – called the CEO of that company and told him he wanted her off the air?
That’s how Barr’s show was cancelled, you fraud.
Kimmel needs gaslighters like you because shows like Greg Gutfeld knock his dick down into the dirt.
No one is interested in mutilating children, except for circumcision, but go ahead and fight that fight. Good luck.
The main gender affirming surgery is for teen boys to have breast reductions as the development of breasts on boys, which does occur, is seen as a problem. The other is various cosmetic surgeries performed on girls, including breast enhancement.
For those children who, after years of therapy and significant investigation, are determined to find a better match living as a different gender, there are hormone therapies given that delay the onset of hormone driven physical development, but nothing that is irreversible.
In the long term, those seeking gender reassignment are less likely to have regrets than those seeking traditional marriage. Yes, some do have regrets. It happens for all cosmetic surgery types.
(Does a law professor not know that popularity is not a binary classification but is, instead, a continuum?
Adolf Hitler drew huge crowds and was very popular. I think the fixation on being more popular is not useful.) The difference, perhaps too subtle for a prog mind, is that Hitler was a politician trying to amass power while kimmel is just a hired flunky who is not making the sort of profit that a business needs in order to continue the deal. Comparing Hitler to kimmel is appropriate in this way only; they are both indoctrinated zealots with little grasp of reality.
All of them are/were trying to amass followers. The ultimate reason doesn’t matter when the goal is popularity.
Some part of the calculus, a course Turley must have done poorly in, is that the main broadcast late night shows are competing against each other for a similar audience and not against Gutfeld who has a different format.
In this regard for Q3 2025 they have a following of:
Colbert: 2.84 million total viewers across 31 first-run episodes
Kimmel: 1.85 million viewers
Fallon: 1.23 million viewers
That’s nearly 6 million liberal viewers vs. 3.20 million viewers for Gutfeld, who has no competition in the conservative insult comic space.
In the last quarter, Gutfeld lost 3% and Colbert gained 17%. Kimmel and Fallon each got a 4% boost.
In the main demographic (18-49), Gutfeld still lost 3%, but Colbert is up 19%, Kimmel is up 10% and Fallon is up 8%.
So sure, Gutfeld is winning a race where he’s the only runner, but he’s less than half what the other side provides and that other side provides some variety. Maybe he saw the Insult Dog on Letterman and thought making that an entire show was a winner? Seems popular with the conservatives, but for more sophisticated humor that doesn’t involve “ha ha, the President is dumping solid excrement on people from a jet.”
He’s not doing so well with advertisers. As one viewer noted:
“Greg has the highest ratings in late night TV. Why aren’t mainstream businesses advertising there? I’m tired of ads for gutter gadgets, retractable awnings, secret beauty treatments and weird supplements.”
Checking the Nielsen ratings the only show in the top 10 is Fox NFL Sunday. Fox just doesn’t deliver what advertisers want – eyeballs.
+100
“Kimmel was only off the air because 2 people didn’t like what he had to say; that’s not popularity, that’s an oligarchy.”
Two people in a country of 340 MILLION – about half of them Republicans! That’s amazing! JUST TWO!!!!
Was it just two CEOs? Not a single corporate board of directors (you commies know what they are?) Not a single station subscribing to them losing money because Kimmel’s show was poison for their advertisers?
BTW, was it just two people who took Tucker Carlson off the air – which Kimmel celebrated and made into a monologue for several days because he’s a Democrat Oligarch?
And was that the same exact same oligarchy that took Carlson off the air that you have identified for us as taking Kimmel off for two days?
Nice story!
Gaslighting

This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used with the intent to have their victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational.

You are so pathetically ridiculous… not even a Biden would think they could get away with that BullSchiff.
Don’t change a single thing you’re spouting, commie… not a single thing. It worked so well in 2024 that you should just keep running with it.
There is a darker side to the whole drag queen and kiddies. Consider, Gas Mask Fetishes – about which AI says,
Fetishism for gas masks can be traced to the psychological effects of World War II, when gas masks were a constant reminder of wartime anxieties for both soldiers and civilians. For some, this intense and unsettling experience became linked to sexual development, leading to the mask becoming an object of fetish.
Trauma and conditioning: As noted by filmmaker Edgar Wright, some individuals in the UK developed a gas mask fetish because their “early sexual stirrings occurring during air raids” in WWII led to a psychological association between the masks and arousal.
———————–
I have read before that some young boys developed this fetish from lying in the London Underground during bombing raids, with their heads pressed against their Mommy’s breast, while wearing a gas mask. Or from pics like this:
https://www.weirduniverse.net/blog/comments/put_your_gas_masks_on
———-
I surmise that some children, now getting some time and attention from drag queens, will develop a fetish for this sort of rot, or at least experience a normalization effect.
This is sick and depraved.
Floyd, Republican politicians and conservative religious men have raped and molested children regularly.
Drag Queens have not.
A child is safer in the presence of a Drag Queen than in the home or church of a conservative.
Anonymous is telling us that she and her fellow drag queens have never groomed a child when we know that they have done exactly that in public library reading to the kiddies hour. I get it. The drag queens are waiting until the kids are able to understand what is going on before they groom the new little recruits. Riiight! It’s on tape for everyone to see.
Clearly having never been in a library, thinkit doesn’t know what grooming is. Merely existing isn’t grooming. Ask Trump about the Epstein did grooming to get Trump the young ones.
^ Has to resort to lies (“get Trump the young ones”). Clearly reveals himself as a desperate leftist Marxist Democrat communist pedophile child sex groomer and exploiter ^
Hmmm. That sounds like a familiar refrain! OH! From 2014:
WASHINGTON – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, is calling on the Boy Scouts of America to end its longstanding discriminatory ban on gay adults in Scouting after BSA leaders revoked the membership of an openly gay Scoutmaster in Washington state when he came out in an NBC News profile.
“https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/boy-scouts-of-america-fire-gay-scoutmaster-after-he-comes-out-to-nbc-news#:~:text=%E2%80%9CBanning%20a%20caring%20Scoutmaster%20who,leadership%20qualifications%20for%20many%20years.%E2%80%9D
IIRC, a whole host of folks called for the same, including Robert Gates, Gen. Wesley Clark, etc.
Fast forward to 2022, and 82,000 survivors of sexual abuse, the Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy. There is a really fascinating payment matrix for the $2.5 Billion class action lawsuit, which the wordpress filter will probably not allow. But here is a link! See Page 15 and 16! Who cudda ever foreseen this happening???

“The BSA cited approximately 200 pending lawsuits in state and federal district courts across the United States and 1,700 potential claimants in total. ” Though an awful number it is well short of 82,000.
A major part of the suit was against the Mormons.
It looks like there were a lot of pedophiles. See Trump about that.
All in all no different than other religion based organizations have done, even those who don’t allow their members to have sex at all.
And don’t think that this wasn’t the motivation for all of this depravity.
George Soros has been forced to declare bankruptcy after paying over seven million people to attend the No Kings protests, the billionaire confirmed on Monday.
“When I agreed to pay everyone who showed up at these things, I had no idea so many people were going to accept my offer,” Soros admitted. “But a deal’s a deal.”
The legendary investor said that paying No Kings participants had required him to liquidate his most prized holdings, including his share in the Jewish orbital space lasers operated by the Rothschild banking family and used to start forest fires.
Soros revealed that paying the seven million Antifa members at the rallies cost him “a pretty penny,” adding, “They may be anarchists, but they don’t work for free.”
“George Soros has been forced to declare bankruptcy after paying over seven million people to attend the No Kings protests, the billionaire confirmed on Monday.”
I also heard that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Soros on behalf of the delusional libtard boomers who participated in the “No Kings” demonstrations for free. Related: NGO analyst Mark Benz has described these demonstrations as examples of a “Coup d’Flat”. That’s clever, but I think of them as more of a “Coup d’Twat”…
Censured. PT, are you computer generated? 🤔.
When is the “No (Drag) Queens” demonstration scheduled and where does one sign up?
Kimmel’s latest reminds me of a story I read in 1963 in my mother’s Ladies Home Journal–James Clavell’s “The Children’s Story” where a teacher uses the Pledge of Allegiance and the American flag to indoctrinate the kids to believe both are meaningless. If you’ve never read the story, I encourage you to do so. One place to find it is the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point webpage. It was also made into a short film for television that can be seen on Youtube.
The Pledge of Allegiance was created by a publishing company to help sell magazines and distribute flags.
“After the success of the flag campaign from 1888-91, Upham started a new campaign centered around a celebration of Columbus’ arrival in the Americas. In a Youth’s Companion issue from Sept. 8, 1892, the instructions for the “National School Celebration of Columbus Day” were printed and featured the Pledge of Allegiance for the first time. The magazine gave away a flag with every new subscription, which family members of the author, Francis Bellamy, said grew from 400,000 to 600,000 after the 1892 marketing campaign. ”
No flag is mentioned in the US Constitution.
Both are meaningless. This is particularly so because of the change to the Pledge of Allegiance that placed a division between the words “one nation” and “indivisible” because the religious extremists thought it would show the Russian totalitarians what being a totalitarian really meant by shoving god into the mix.
Leftist “comedians” should definitely wood chipper all the books they don’t like and get the lil’ kids involved as young as possible so they can one day be just like their favorite celebrity drag queen or mediocre TV crotch humorist. Maybe Eric Trump can read some pedo-erotica to a room full of non-gender defined children and their doting “parents” and return the favor? They can then all form two lines (one for each real gender), then properly recycle the pages of trans-filth in the proper waste bin and then go outside to play at a homeless, criminal, and needle-free public park and have the freedom to be kids without hyper-progressive, adult groomers aroused and abusing them.
It’s good to see JT ignore 7 million Americans just like FoxNews did. Nothing to see here, The king has no clothes but hey, can’t mock the king? Can you?
Why pay attention to the irrelevant? The internet is awash with videos showing people who had no idea what the mayor of their own town was (because they weren’t from there, just trying to sound “local”) and strangely entire LARGE groups all leaving at the same time. A video of everyone leaving at 1pm. Another of everyone leaving at 2:30pm.
That is not how grass roots anything works. Anyone with any common sense and pays attention knows this is astroturfed. The protestors don’t believe in any of it and the rest of us are just tired of this virtue signaling. It’s both pathetic and exhausting.
Don’t forget that “81,000,000” votes were cast for Biden …………. or not.
(Washington DC) — This past Saturday a “grassroots” movement ‘No Kings’ day was something of a bust as we discovered it was not as “grassroots” as proclaimed.
We interviewed Josh who had this to say,
“I could not believe it! They paid me $7,000 per person I could get to these rallies! So, I went to every nursing or assisted living home I knew of and promised the old white folks a voucher to get them an extra pudding with their meal while watching Matlock!”
“What about all the signs?”
“Oh, they had stacks and stacks of pre-printed signs they handed me to pass out to all the old white folks.”
At first we thought Josh was making a joke, until we found Jackie who had a similar story.
“Heck ya! They gave me $7,000 a head to get them to the protests! I went to a homeless encampment, promised them drugs or alcohol if they went to the protest. That got them moving! But kinda like slow moving zombies, not the fast moving ones. They gave me some pre-printed signs about support for Palestine, Palestine flags, trans flags and one that read “FREE LUIGI!”
“What did the homeless say when they did not get the drugs or alcohol?”
“What? Oh, who cares! I made like $70,000 for two hours of work! That will pay off my college debt for my degree in DEI and I can quit working as a barista! Thank you Soros foundation!”
We reached out to other news affiliates in other cities. They too found people were being paid to attend the ‘No Kings’ protest. The Soros foundation claimed 7 million people attended, but according to police officials that number was likely half. Based off our findings, half to three quarters were either paid to be there or duped into being there.
Great to see satire is still alive and flourishing!!
Good satire is when one cannot tell it is satire until the second or third read. This appears to be an uncredited joke and is likely generated by a ChatGPT prompt. One can tell because the rate of pay is “$7,000 a head to get them to the protests!” but only got “$70,000 for two hours of work!” meaning only ten of the 7 million people could possibly have gotten there due to the actions outlined in this really poor writing effort.
Charlie Kirk had a similar problem. He promised 80 busses full of students and only managed to deliver only 7.
Note that TPUSA claims a presence on 3,500 campuses, with a field program comprised of 350 paid organizers. Man, he was really cleaning up: According to the most recently available tax documents, in 2022 TPUSA had revenue of $80.6 million. Free speech apparently costs billionaires a lot of money to get paid actors to push their message.
I’ll be monkeys uncle
Pastor Terry Jones just needed a permit to burn 3000 Korans. Terry didn’t have a permit so he was arrested. Illegal tailgate barbeque.
Anonymous also said that books were being burned when Florida removed books from the middle school libraries that depicted ten year old boys performing oracle sex on one another.
She has no problem with the groomer books in Florida. I asked her yesterday if she supported a Professor who was okay with jewish babies being put in ovens to cook and she can’t even bring herself to say that it’s something that she abhors. A mind absorbed with winning an argument at all costs as usual.
Thinkitthrough,
I don’t get notifications so responses often don’t get seen. Not sure which instances of Jewish (which should always be capitalized, you anti-Semite) babies being put into ovens to cook are being referred to.
One claim is “A few days before we visited one kibbutz, a baby was found in an oven there, having been burned to death,” which is hearsay.
Another: “The body hardened and, unfortunately, appeared to have also swollen,” he said. “And really, the heating element of the oven was on the body itself.”
Ovens don’t typically allow contact with the heating element. Gas ovens don’t have them and electric ovens have racks to protect the heating element. A natural result of death is the bacteria in the body produce gasses which swell it; no conclusion from that. In fact, had the infant been killed by cooking in an oven the body would not only have desiccated and charred in the hours or days of heating in the oven before being found, the bacteria that cause swelling would have been killed. It’s a made up conclusion at best and a total fabrication at the worst.
If it happened, it would be more likely that the parents sought to protect the child by placing them in the only metal surround that was available (a refrigerator would kill in hours) and, because of delays by the IDF in mobilizing, the child died from lack of water, causing the hardening. The oven rack merely imprinted on the body from such long contact. It makes sense that no one would be checking a closed residential oven when searching for survivors, the dead, or terrorists. It could have been a week or more until the odor of decay was noticed and finally investigated. It is also possible that Hamas set fire to the house and the consumption of oxygen by the fire led to suffocating the baby who would have been protected from the fire by the oven insulation.
Here’s what is reported in Israel: https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-772181
Overall there is no evidence of Hamas soldiers going out of their way to put babies into ovens to kill them. In a battle zone it also makes no sense to do so. It takes time when time is certainly running out before the counter attack happens. In contrast the US did use napalm on children. We know that because there are photos, unlike for this claim.
…
No books “depicted” any oracle thing going on between ten year old boys. There may have been written descriptions about the sort of things that some ten year old boys are already curious about. A very plain description of incest is in the Bible where daughters got their father so drunk he passed out and they raped him. Lovely book, the bible. Also mass murder on a global scale. And killing the first born of a nation, those who had nothing to do with the core problem.
Love seeing you get your rage up, Turls. The Kimmel sketch was hilarious. Party on. Turn that frown upside down.
Well, well, well Anonymous. Here is an article that will have you biting your toes more than usual. The article says that socialist liberal Professors on campus have screwed up diversity on the college campus. Just another article in a MAGA rag you might say. No indeed. The publisher is your favorite Washington Post. Whatever oh whatever will you do. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-washington-post-597/20251020/281840059888504
Great op ed piece, but it will go into Anon’s left ear, and then unimpeded by any substantive gray matter, shoot right out of the right ear, in a vomitous fashion, as if spewed out . Some people are either not capable of ingesting information contrary to their belief system, or will pretend the same, for either money or negative attention.
Thanks for reading, Floyd. I know you love me. I’m also guessing you look like the Floyd the barber in Mayberry?
No, I look just like the picture to the left of my comments.
Floyd,
Good one!
Want to bet the annony moron looks a lot like Trixie Mattel?
Nah. You’re a numpty.
You’re correct Floyd. Anonymous is like the killer in No Country for Old Men. No emotion, no remorse, and completely devoid of any moral rudder. The movie pointed out that with people like Anonymous there is just no possibility of rehabilitation. The old boys in the movie were simply saying that in cases like these it’s just the way it is and no bleeding heart was going to make any difference. This illustrates why she won’t even condemn the burning of Jewish babies. The character in the movie was in a car accident and his bone was sticking out of his arm but he was only puzzled and felt no pain. So we have Anonymous.
Anton rocked.
Actually, the op Ed you posted displayed the ignorance the right often does in assuming its philosophy is relevant.
The same goes for old school leftism in some respects as well, just not as sweepingly as with the right.
Both misread backlash against the other as confirmation of their respective philosophy when really what’s taking place is a pretty massive upheaval against establishment forces across the board.
Well, I’ll probably just laugh even more than I usually do at your aggressively cretinistic ignorance.
