Trump Turns Troops Loose, Targeting Dissenters as Enemies of the State 9/29/25

September 29, 2025 • 115 mins
Free Speech is in peril. A terrifying presidential memo linking words to violence seems to be an effort to stamp out any kind of dissent. The memo links the recent “political” violence (only listing GOP related incidents) to “a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence.” The memo says these “organized campaigns” are “designed to silence opposing speech, limit p...

September 25, 2025 • 129 mins

Kimmel Shines as Trump Goes Ballistic With Threats Against ABC 9/24/25

September 24, 2025 • 127 mins
Jimmy Kimmel came back to raucous applause last night, showing heart, empathy and humor. At some points, his voice cracked with emotion as he talked about political violence never being the answer, about Erika Kirk forgiving her husband’s killer and about everyone who offered support over the last few days as he fought to keep his show alive. His strongest moments may have been those talking about freedom of speech in America. Desp...

September 23, 2025 • 128 mins
President Trump is doing the very thing he accused President Biden of doing: weaponizing the Department of justice. There is no illusion of pulling strings behind the scenes either.

Kirk Remembered, but Trump Anger & Hate Cast an Ugly Shadow 9/22/25

September 22, 2025 • 124 mins
At the weekend memorial to remember Charlie Kirk, President Trump pointed out their differences saying that while Kirk didn’t hate his enemies or want bad things to happen to them, Trump does hate his enemies and wants bad things to happen to them. The eulogy quickly shifted into a Trump rally instead of the somber celebration of life it was intended to be.
