“Let your rage fuel you.” Those words from Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger captured what I have called “rage politics” in America.

Across the country, politicians and pundits are fueling rage, encouraging voters to embrace it. If you turn on the television, you would think that Darth Sidious had taken over: “Give in to your anger. With each passing moment, you grow stronger.”

I do not think for a second that Spanberger supports violence. She was sharing with voters the “sage advice” of her mother, which she said she has applied in her political career. However, the anger is all around us.

I think she supports violence–if it’s against Republicans. It seems pretty obvious.

Democrats in Congress are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to protect subsidies that help reduce the cost of Wi-Fi on school buses.

In a letter led by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., the lawmakers argue against FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who said in a press release last month that the commission should end expansion of the E-Rate program, which provides discounts on Wi-Fi on buses and hot spots on school campuses.

“Rolling back the E-Rate hotspot and school bus decisions would undercut some of the most effective tools for addressing inequities in home connectivity and would reverse progress in closing the ‘Homework Gap.’ For millions of students, especially those from low-income households, internet access outside of school walls is not a luxury but a prerequisite for academic success,” reads the letter, which was signed by Sens. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Peter Welch of Vermont, and Rep. Grace Meng of New York, all Democrats.

As Republicans show no sign of giving in to their demands, Democrats are facing a difficult decision in the coming days—cave in and allow a Republican-backed stopgap funding bill to pass Congress and keep the government open or allow a partial government shutdown?

The U.S. Senate is currently scheduled to return to work Sept. 29, a day before Congress’ deadline to pass a new spending measure to continue funding government operations. A shutdown could lead to several categories of federal workers not being paid, at least temporarily during the shutdown, as well as interruptions to certain government services.

Republicans are looking to pass a seven-week continuing resolution, which would roughly extend current spending levels—the spending levels of the previous Biden administration. They need at least seven Democrat votes in the Senate to bring the bill to the floor.

Democrats, however, have made big demands to keep the government open, including undoing recently passed cost-saving Medicaid reforms, hamstringing the White House’s ability to rescind certain federal funding, and extending expiring Obamacare health care premium tax credits, which were enhanced during the previous administration.

But on Friday, President Donald Trump, having previously canceled plans to meet with Democrats about their demands, appeared unbothered while attending the Ryder Cup golf tournament in Farmingdale, New York.

Democrats appeared outraged as it became apparent that Republicans were inviting them to a game of shutdown chicken.

Yup, Trump doesn’t play the Deep State kabuki-dance.

Delaware has long reigned as the nation’s corporate capital, but not anymore.

Recent high-profile departures and growing criticism of its judiciary have put the First State under the microscope.

On CNBC this past Wednesday, “Squawk Box” anchors Joe Kernen and Andrew Ross Sorkin pressed Gov. Matt Meyer, a Democrat, on whether his administration is mishandling what could become a turning point in Delaware’s century-old dominance of corporate law.

If California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan is approved, a large rural district that once proposed seceding from the state will be merged with northern San Francisco, causing the residents to fear they are losing their voice in Congress.

Modoc County is closer to Oregon than San Francisco and more closely resembles Texas in terms of its politics and agricultural lifestyle, yet the nearly 8,500 residents may be swallowed up by Newsom’s own district in Marin County. The small rural community voted 78% in favor of recalling Newsom and a reformed district would eliminate their small conservative voice represented by Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa.

“It’s like a smack in the face,” local rancher Amie Martinez told CalMatters this week. “How could you put Marin County with Modoc County? It’s just a different perspective.”

In 1965 Teddy Kennedy and the Democrats passed legislation that moved America from being of predominantly European ancestry, toward being a nation that looked more like the rest of the planet (other than Europe at that time), meaning predominantly non-white and non-Christian.

The fact of the legislation having changed American demographics and thereby culture is not in question today, but Democrats say “we were just unaware what would happen”. Ignorance is always possible (especially with Democrats), but it was certainly willful ignorance if so, Customs and Immigration Services knew what was going to happen.

The state of California has projected an image of economic superiority for many years that is simply a facade. Much of the state’s GDP (the go-to stat used by Governor Gavin Newsom to deflect any criticism of fiscal mismanagement) is based on a large proportion of federal funding, state welfare spending and a handful of large corporations that are now leaving for greener pastures in red states.

The corporate exodus has been taking place for at least a decade, but it accelerated during the pandemic lockdowns and has not abated since. It would appear that Newsom has finally recognized that his economic position is tenuous at best. His latest “charm offensive” is designed to entice oil companies to stay in the Golden State, with legislation to increase domestic oil production in California through new drilling permits and rehabilitating a defunct offshore pipeline.

The bill will allow for 2000 new oil permits a year over the next 10 years.

The process of gaslighting is not limited to abusive personal relationships, it can also happen between groups of people within the same society. For the past decade at least, the progressive movement and the Democrats have consistently abused the American public to the verge of rebellion, then, they pull back just enough to defuse tensions.

They did it with the BLM and Antifa riots, dealing out around $2 billion in property damage in cities across the US, injuring thousands of police officers and killing dozens of innocent bystanders.  Conservatives and moderates stood back, for the most part, until the Kyle Rittenhouse incident in August of 2020.  When leftists sought to prosecute the young man for defending himself from a mob that was trying to murder him – When they falsely labeled him a “racist” and a “terrorist”, the line was crossed.

In the tense aftermath of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination earlier this month, prominent left-leaning figures have not relented in their efforts to incite violence against their political enemies.

On Monday evening, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fired off a pair of now-deleted X posts that appeared to directly threaten CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, a vocal defender of conservative values.

The messages, captured in screenshots before they vanished, read: “You’re Next, Motherf*cker” followed by “But keep mugging to the camera.”

Charlotte Bronte once wrote “I believe that creature is a changeling: she is a perfect cabinet of oddities.” No quote better captured the chilling curiosity that is Hillary Clinton. This week, Clinton (without any sign of shame or self-awareness) attacked others for seeking censorship and blacklisting political opponents through government and corporate collaboration. Clinton is one of the most anti-free speech figures in the United States and actively campaigned for the censorship of opponents. Today, my column in the Hill discusses the hypocrisy of many on the left this week after the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. However, there is simply no one in the same class as Clinton in hitting hypocrisy’s rock bottom.

This week, Clinton declared: “I think this is a very clear example of using the power of the state to suppress speech. It is a direct government action to try to intimidate employers, organizations, corporations, much of which we’ve already seen, to remove an opponent, even though it’s a comic.”

For many in the free speech community, the statement led us to spit out our morning coffee.

Capital Research Center Investigative Researcher Ryan Mauro released a devastating investigation September 17 exposing how Soros gave “over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence.” As Mauro concluded, “The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in ‘direct actions’ that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism.”

This pool included groups that helped train activists in “property destruction and sabotage” during the 2020 Marxist Black Lives Matter riots, and the climate change-obsessed Sunrise Movement, which Mauro wrote “endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments.”

What’s even more damning is that this brand of dangerous, radicalized organizations that Soros funds isn’t just limited to American streets, but even stretches across the globe right into the heart of Islamist terrorist conflict in the Middle East.

“It’s the left, no it’s the right, no it’s both.”

Ever since the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, the media has been embroiled in a constant debate over who has a monopoly on inciteful and downright violent political rhetoric. These “debates” are usually one sided with the overwhelming majority of those involved coming from the hard left.

To me, there is no contest. Not only has most of the violence come from the left, so has the violent talk. The token conservatives who have been allowed to weigh in on this, have done a good job for the most part, in pointing out that Donald Trump was shot, and another assassination attempt on him was stopped. House GOP leader Steve Scalise was also shot. There was an assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, (more on this later) and the left has burned down cities and has been rioting on and off for years. They point out that the left calls Trump a Nazi, and every other name in the book, claiming he is an existential threat to our country. And of course it is Charlie Kirk who was killed in Utah.

But for some reason, these conservative voices are missing several examples of high-ranking Democrats who have talked about attacking Donald Trump, threatened SCOTUS Justices and urged confrontation with members of Trump’s administration.

President Trump’s executive order earlier this year to dismantle the Department of Education comes as the president highlighted a disturbing and inconvenient truth about Baltimore City’s Democratic Party-run “failure factory” school system: 40% of public high schools have zero students proficient in math. This damning statistic follows eight years of Fox45 investigative reporter Chris Papst’s coverage of the crime-ridden city’s education crisis. Keep in mind, the metro area is mainly controlled by leftists at City Hall, with virtually no diversity when it comes to Republicans holding positions of power.

A new report by Papst released this past week may catch the White House’s attention, highlighting yet another inconvenient truth about the stunning failure of Baltimore City Public Schools in terms of academic outcomes, proving that simply throwing more taxpayer funds at the problem is not a viable solution.

In what appears to be the Democratic Party’s revolutionary arm of the industrial protest complex (“civil terrorism”) – backed by possible ties to dark-money-funded NGOs – a show of force emerged outside the Broadview ICE processing center in the crime-ridden sanctuary city of Chicago earlier today.

Gov. Greg Abbott has renewed his legal push to oust dozens of legislators who fled Texas in August to briefly derail a hyperpartisan redrawing of the state’s congressional district boundaries.

In a letter to the state Supreme Court, Abbott’s attorneys say even though Democrats abandoned their effort to block the redistricting maneuver, those who left the state — including Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu — should still lose their jobs over it.

“Ouster is the time-tested consequence for conduct like Wu’s. Absent action by this Court, quorum breaking threatens to become our new normal,” Abbott’s lawyer Trevor Ezell wrote.

Politico, a Voice of the Crust.

Progressive megadonor George Soros has given $10 million to boost Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign as Democrats continue to raise huge sums from reliable allies.

The donation from Soros, first reported by the New York Times, is the single largest for Proposition 50 to date. Labor unions, a national Democratic PAC, and wealthy liberals have together contributed well more than $30 million as Newsom and allies rush to persuade voters to approve new House maps that could force out a half-dozen Republicans while shoring up Democratic incumbents.

Soros is a longstanding benefactor for the left and bogeyman for the right. He has poured millions into California politics in recent years, spending $1 million to help shield Newsom from a 2021 recall attempt and working to elect progressive prosecutors who embraced lighter sentencing and tougher police accountability.

His latest donation is likely to harden the fault lines in a race that has already become a highly partisan national fight. Republicans have long cast Soros as a malignant force, often using conspiratorial rhetoric to denounce his influence.

Many people are calling out former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a posting supporting American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten’s new book in which she paints her political opponents as “fascists.”

The timing was flagged as, at best, tone deaf in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a shooter who wrote fascist references on his bullets and was clearly radicalized by such rage rhetoric.

For me, the timing was most notable in how Weingarten and Clinton are again pushing their extreme rhetoric as a new report emerged showing the utter failure of our schools to actually educate our children. Weingarten and Clinton cannot be bothered by the long-standing declines in education. They are returning to the three Rs: Republicans, Rage, and Recrimination.

For decades, New York City prided itself on being the financial capital of the world. It’s a place where money, culture, and power converge. And yet, as has been seen in San Francisco, Chicago, and other locations around the United States, New York is experiencing a steady exodus of millionaires and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. While some observers dismiss this as anecdotal or exaggerated, the facts paint a different picture: one with serious implications for the city’s fiscal health, social fabric, and attractiveness.

It is easy to forget that New York’s gleaming infrastructure, vast public services, and social programs are underwritten disproportionately by a tiny number of residents. Fewer than one percent of taxpayers account for more than 40 percent of all income tax revenue collected in the state, and a similar share in the city. Without those individuals, the ability of millions of ordinary New Yorkers to enjoy subsidized transit, robust public safety services, and cultural investments would collapse. In other words, and despite endless egalitarian rhetoric, the lifestyle of the masses is silently carried on the shoulders of the few.

The scale of the loss is becoming visible. Between 2019 and 2020, the number of New Yorkers earning between $150,000 and $750,000 fell by nearly six percent, while the number of true high earners—those making over $750,000—dropped by nearly 10 percent, according to the city’s Independent Budget Office. This erosion matters because the city’s top one percent—about 41,000 filers—pay more than 40 percent of all income taxes. The top 10 percent pay about two-thirds. Which means the remaining 90 percent of taxpayers contribute only about one-third of the city’s income tax revenue. When even a small share of these high earners disappears, the impact is seismic.

Recent migration trends confirm the damage. More than 125,000 New Yorkers have fled to Florida in just the past few years, carrying nearly $14 billion worth of income with them, according to the Citizens Budget Commission. About a third of those movers—more than 41,000 people—went to Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward Counties between 2018 and 2022. Those escapes alone stripped New York City of an estimated $10 billion in adjusted gross income. When money and mobility align, no amount of political rhetoric can stop people from voting with their feet.

“Deplatforming works and it is important,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared on-camera when Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News – but, Democrats are singing a different tune now that one of their own has been suspended indefinitely for comments regarding the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk.

“Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez cheered in a social media video in 2023, in which she cited Carlson’s firing as an example of the “good things” that can happen when others are silenced:

The New York Democrat also claimed Carlson was responsible for driving “death threats” against her and others across the country. She also compared him to a Marvel movie villain, saying she feared he would eventually “reemerge.”

The New Neo.

For anyone who follows the news it’s impossible to ignore the tide of hatred unleashed against the affable, smiling, “let us all reason together,” and now-deceased Charlie Kirk and his supporters.

However, it’s not new. From those who admire the cold-blooded killer of a heretofore obscure insurance executive to those who applaud the murder of a young Jewish couple, from those who use the occasion of a Kirk memorial ceremony to mockingly enact Kirk’s death to teachers who think nothing of telling their students after Kirk’s assassination that Kirk was “a piece of garbage,” examples are unfortunately legion. They not only think it, they feel no hesitation to publicly go on record with these sorts of abominable sentiments.

Although it’s impossible to say when this started, it’s been steadily growing. But on reflection, I’ve decided there was a turning point that I don’t see anyone else mentioning. It happened in 2019, and it was the widespread hatred unapologetically expressed towards a very young and very innocent person: 16-year-old Nicholas Sandmann.

Last week, conservatives were bludgeoned, once again, by the reality that they live in a country full of people who want them dead.

Charlie Kirk — a man known for his love of country, open and respectful debate, and Christian faith — was allegedly assassinated by a left-wing maniac. Many on the left tried to justify it, and some even cheered.

While the wound is still fresh, and we are finding out who people really are in the wake of such a horrific, and horrifically public, assassination, now is the time for action — serious action.

We do not need “unified condemnations” followed by zero action. Many on the left are offering this pathway, which is something weak-willed people on the right might be inclined to accept in order to move on without rocking the boat too much.

The time for conversation is over. The left only ever wants to “turn the temperature down” when their rhetoric gets someone shot or killed. And then they turn around and build it back up again. And then people — whether they be praying at a school, contributing to public discourse, or running for president — get shot or killed.

The spreaders of this rhetoric are not fringes of the far left. These are the rank-and-file, and we know that because Democrat members of Congress jeered at the idea of a moment of silence in the moments after Kirk’s death on the House floor.

Back when Biden was elected over Trump, Scott Adams predicted that very soon Republicans would be hunted. I’m thinking he was more right than he expected.

I know, that is a very high bar to get over. But consider: why did Joe Biden pardon more people, by a wide margin, than any other president? Documents have come to light that suggest Biden pardoned thousands, some of whom were violent criminals and most of whom had no apparent grounds for clemency, because he was being criticized for pardoning his degenerate partner in crime, his son Hunter. So he “flooded the zone” with thousands of names that no reporter had the time–or more important, the inclination–to track down.

My response to that apparently remorseful Democrat would be, “Look, your political party has gained power for decades by intentionally creating aggrieved groups and leveraging their resentments and jealousies to create a divided society that you think helps you in the polls.  You have built this divided, angry society.  Intentionally.  And you have profited from it.  So even if you do feel bad for Charlie Kirk, I suggest you keep that to yourself.  Just shut the %$#@ up.  I don’t want to hear it.  You can’t throw a firebomb into a school, then express regret that innocent children died.  So just shut up.  Please.  You have nothing to say, here.  So you should say nothing.“

Mr. Kirk’s murder is enraging.  But the professed sympathies of Democrats is much, MUCH more enraging.

CNN pays former Obama official Juliette Kayyem to be a national security and terrorism analyst, but on Saturday’s Table for Five, she demanded we all “stop looking” for a motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk because we may never know. Despite the show airing on a different day, at a different time, and having a different name than her daily NewsNight program, host Abby Phillip continued her tradition of not interrupting her liberal guests.

ayyem was set off by GOP strategist Lance Trover, who made a completely reasonable point when he asked, “Well, will the rhetoric get toned down? I mean, again, I go back to what was on the bullet from this kid was fascism. And that’s only coming from one side currently in this debate. And it’s on every placard and every poster around the country. I mean, I think it’s a valid question, but are they going to live up to what they say they’re going to do with the Nazi and fascism and the like?”

Democrats are not only the party of enmity but also the enemies of liberty and justice for all. Enmity consumes the Democrat Party, based not on hostility to certain ideas but hatred of certain individuals, chief among them President Trump and his friends and advisers. Among the latter is Peter Navarro, the president’s trade adviser, whose new book, I Went to Prison So You Won’t Have To, details Democrats’ efforts to criminalize politics. Navarro writes from experience and about his experiences as a political prisoner, enjoining us to defend the Constitution.

Crime in Charlotte, North Carolina, spiked under a left-leaning district attorney before the August stabbing death of a woman on a public train thrust the city into the national spotlight.

Violent crime in Charlotte was 13% higher in 2024 than in 2018, despite decreases after a COVID-19-era crime surge, according to FBI data that records homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Left-wing officials such as Democrat Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather, who has focused on promoting racial equity in the justice system, are now under renewed scrutiny since the Aug. 22 arrest of a mentally ill suspect with a lengthy criminal history in the murder of Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska.

When I served as an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) cadet at Fordham University in New York City, the Department of War paid for my degree in American Studies. During my coursework, I read books like The New Jim Crow and was bombarded with the claim that the country I had signed up to defend was irredeemably racist and broken. My civilian classmates and professors were overwhelmingly liberal, and the university was in the capital of liberalism. I spent most of my time in that milieu as opposed to dedicated environments conducive to military formation.

ROTC should be nowhere near Fordham University. In fact, the Trump Administration should end ROTC programs in blue states, leftist cities, and anti-American universities, focusing instead on institutions that actually love America. Training military officers in environments that serve the national interest is a critical step toward restoring the U.S. military as a whole.

No longer should ROTC programs be benefactors of the woke and weaponized higher education system. The colleges and universities that ROTC cadets attend—and that the federal government pays for—shouldn’t feature Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) quotas, the teaching of Critical Race Theory and other divisive ideologies, and the promotion of gay and lesbian lifestyles.

Yet, as most of the nation reeled from the graphic murder, many on the left – after years of being primed by Democrat leadership to engage in violence against ‘nazis’ and ‘fascists’ – could not contain their joy at Kirk’s death.

MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd, after he suggested that conservative activist and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday, had it coming – Variety reports.

During coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens” – a disgusting framing in itself, to which Dowd replied: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

Update: Meanwhile, both Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and former Biden Spox and MSNBC ‘personality’ Jen Psaki blamed President Trump – with Warren suggesting he needs to tone down his rhetoric.

A demonic article from the rabid leftist website Jezebel has come back to haunt its editors following the murder of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

wo days before a gunman killed Kirk in cold blood during an event at Utah Valley University, Jezebel called upon witches to perform some hocus pocus against the conservative activist: “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk.” The sub-headline needs no explanation: “If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.” If this doesn’t classify as pure evil we don’t know what does.

Apparently, the outlet was wishing for some sort of demonic entity to shut Kirk up for good: “Now, is it ethical to curse a man I’ve never met? Probably not. But is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes. So here we are, in the gray area.”

When Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot, Wikipedia editors quickly elevated criticism into the lead section of his page. Confirmation of the attack on Kirk’s life didn’t stop Wikipedia from making sure site visitors who only read his biography came away with a negative impression. Wikipedia transformed a sentence at the bottom of the lead section of a Sept. 4 version of Kirk’s page from simply listing his policy positions to making sure that curious readers reacting to his fatal shooting know that he supported “COVID-19 misinformation.” Continue reading on MRCFreeSpeechAmerica.org Image above credited to Gage Skidmore and The Star News Network.

Minutes after the news broke that conservative influencer and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University, ABC News broke in and seemingly suggested he had it coming for his “controversial” views and for going to a campus that didn’t want him there. “ABC news has confirmed conservative activists and podcaster Charlie Kirk has been shot during an event at Utah Valley University,” announced correspondent Kyra Phillips. “The founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization, is known for his outspoken views on politics, culture, religion, often taking his messages to colleges and universities, sparking sometimes pretty heated debates on campus.”     She quickly brought on chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky, who pointed out that Kirk went to the UVU campus despite outrage from the liberal members of the student body: You’re right, his presence there at the university had divided the campus, according to an article in the school paper, where there were people on both sides debating whether he should even be allowed to bring his message, often loyal to the agenda of President Trump, to campus. But he was speaking at this outdoor event in a courtyard. Following Katersky’s report, Phillips pivoted to speak to far-left chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce and doubled down on justifying the attack: “It’s no secret that Kirk has said a number of controversial things over the years, in particular about DEI, Jews, women, LGBTQ community, people of color.”     “He is a massive figure, of course, in the conservative movement. He has been close to President Trump. Of course, I think back to –  I think it was last December when then President-elect Donald Trump spoke at a big Turning Point USA conference,” noted Bruce.
