Head explosions incoming.
If we want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk, we have to be honest about the people who are celebrating it and the people who are financing it.

Over 170 businesses signed letter urging action over crime in Burlington, Vermont:
Business owners in a New England college city are reportedly close to a breaking point as crime affects its downtown, potentially bringing trouble for students’ parents and leaf-peeping tourists in the area.
Officials in Burlington, Vermont — home to the University of Vermont — have said they are working on new strategies to combat crime in the city’s downtown, where business owners have raised concerns about graffiti, shoplifting and open drug use. While Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak has noted there is no simple solution, she has argued that a heavier police presence could undermine progress, local news outlet WCAX Channel 3 reported.
Jimmy Baldea, a deputy with the Rutland County Sheriff’s Office, about 65 miles south of Burlington, told Fox News Digital that the mayor should reconsider her stance and that a greater police presence could be helpful for keeping crime at bay.
Styx, who lives in nearby Rutland, weighs in.
By the way, let’s have a mini “Let Me Correct That Headline” contest. Here’s my submission: “Leftist Policies Destroy Lovely Communities”. What’s yours?
Asmongold shares the latest glimpses of Leftist hate.
Update: Nancy Pelosi’s vapid response is one for the history books.
The usual suspects on the Left will regurgitate the old talking point that “there are bad people on both sides”. While this is technically correct, what is much more accurate is that the rhetoric by Leftist politicians and media figures has emboldened countless people on the Left to think it is perfectly fine to call for the assassination of many more people. This will only stop when the folks shown here are very publicly arrested and prosecuted. Then, in publicly televised trials, the world needs to hear who these cretins were propagandized by. All named in the media then need to be subpoenaed on Capitol Hill and publicly shamed and belittled. Anything short of this and this insanity will never stop.
The tag line of @WomenNC reads, “Empowering the next generation to advance gender equality in North Carolina.”
Yet they have not uttered a word about the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina! Why? Because they do not care about women if the murderer of women don’t fit a very specific criteria.
I never thought I’d reach adulthood and see women’s groups that don’t care about women, Ukrainian groups that don’t care about Ukrainians, and immigrant groups that don’t care about immigrants.

Unconfirmed, so the usual cautions apply.
Update: The WSJ is now reporting the same.

This discussion is damned interesting.
MSNBC releases pathetic apology after Matthew Dowd claimed Charlie Kirk brought it on himself:
Far-left MSNBC released a pathetic apology on Wednesday night after its network’s senior political analyst, Matthew Dowd, said that Charlie Kirk’s “hate” was responsible for his own shooting.
Appearing on MSNBC’s afternoon program, anchor Katy Tur said, “Matthew, I’m going to bring you in on this. Talk to me about the environment. You know, we are, there are reports of exactly what happened are not confirmed yet. But talk to me about the environment in which a shooting like this happens.”
Zack Hoyt (aka Asmongold) has been engrossed in attending to his father’s health issues, but took a moment to share a very sober take on what happened yesterday and, sadly, his prediction of what will now likely happen moving forward.
Related: Konstantin Kisin also senses that this signals that a very definite change is afoot.
Just The News is now reporting that Charlie Kirk confirmed dead, according to multiple government officials.
I’m taking the rest of the day off, sorry.
Earlier reports follow.

Updates, from Kate;
Video of alleged shooter. Update: Wrong suspect? New (unconfirmed) reports are the shooter hasn’t been located.
Daily Wire on X is probably the best source for updates.
Having just watched another angle of the shooting, I think it unlikely Charlie has survived this. That’s your warning before you view it.
Enemies of the People never let us down.
Source tells me Charlie is stable.
Please god

New York Times- A Gruesome Murder in North Carolina Ignites a Firestorm on the Right
Security footage capturing the unprovoked stabbing in Charlotte became an accelerant for conservative arguments about the perceived failings of Democratic policies.
The gents at The Ruthless Podcast express their anger at the vicious murder in Charlotte, NC that happened on August 22, 2025. The Democrat mayor, Viola Lyles, and the media colluded to suppress this news story.
It’s fascinating to see that all of the people who have displayed Ukrainian flags in their bios have been suspiciously silent since this news story broke out.
Many are asking questions about why not one man on the train intervened. Quick answer: Daniel Penny. Would things have been any different in Canada? Given that homeowners are being prosecuted for defending their families and property, the answer is clearly ‘No’.
Update: Megyn Kelly and Andrew Klavan dissect the pure evil being broadcast at CNN.
The real falsification was in bringing the charges: Michigan false electors case dismissed, defendants will not stand trial
On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam welcomes authors Ralph Pezzullo and Gary Berntsen to the studio for a deep dive into the state of modern elections. They discuss the safety and security of voting systems, the alarming ways other countries manipulate election outcomes, and the fallout from the 2020 U.S. elections, including the suspicious activities that unfolded on election night.
Canadian political pundit, Lauren Chen, has broken her silence:
One year ago today, my family was awoken by the FBI about to break down our door.
Today, I'm finally breaking my silence.https://t.co/vCCT7IqQ32 pic.twitter.com/GuUt3rB6q1

The malevolent Biden-Harris Regime and their DOJ attack dogs made great strides to destroy Chen, her husband, and their family.
Without any proof, NDP MP Alistair MacGregor jumped on the bandwagon. He/She/They/It has never apologized for the unfounded accusations. No surprise though, because Leftists never apologize for their misdeeds.
Stephen Miller: Single Greatest Abuse Of Voting In Any Democracy In The World Is The Democrat Party’s Policy Of Mail-In Ballots
Here are endless truth bombs from a wise American man, who happens to be black. About 8 minutes in, he talks about endless “programs” that Democrat politicians are fond of. These programs don’t solve any problems, don’t generally help the people they’re purportedly intended for, but do funnel millions of dollars to the friends & family members of these politicians … and allegedly back into their campaigns – but no matter, the programs must continue! From personal conversations I’ve had with friends in San Francisco and Vancouver, I know first hand how useless and wasteful these programs are.
Democrats pulled security from several Trump 1.0 officials who the Iranians threatened to murder.

The Democrats and the Legacy Media are clearly hoping that Trump will fail in terms of bringing an end to the Ukrainian War. They might reflexively deny this, but that’s precisely what they’ve been saying. Here’s a fascinating discussion on the subject.
If one wants to become an airline pilot, they get specialized training to gain the skills to safely fly planes. If one want to drive a car, they get training – from a parent or a driving instructor – in how to safely operate an automobile. In both cases, tests must be successfully passed before one can partake in these endeavours.
When it comes to politics though, there are no barriers to entry; it’s merely a popularity contest. If you win, then you get to make decisions for thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people.
This discussion between Elizabeth Vargas and John Stossel resonated deeply. Featured within is an interview Stossel conducted with Aisha Chughtai, the Vice President of the Minneapolis City Council, the full version of which can be seen here.
Carefully listen to Ms. Chughtai and you’ll see a person who is deeply ignorant about basic economics and does not understand the first thing about how incentives make people do what they do.
Elections have consequences. Voting for ignoramuses, who are extremely unqualified for the super important jobs they’ve signed up for, is a certain recipe for disaster.
Circling back to the original analogy, if you are not a trained pilot, would you think about getting in a plane and trying to fly it? Arrogant people like Chughtai clearly would.
Another trans shooter: 2 children are dead and 17 people injured in Minneapolis school mass shooting; gunman died of self-inflicted gunshot wound
More: Shooter is a 22 year old biological male transgender who posted a manifesto on YouTube.
The shooter’s video, taken down from the YouTube, saved by Jack Posobiec “just in time…”
@josettecaruso – He began identifying as “transgender as a MINOR, his parents signed off on it as you can see per court records. His name was ROBERT Westman until 2020, when he changed his name to ROBIN Westman
