On 9/17/25, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely. This occurred after … President Trump’s administration escalated its war on free speech. The FCC chair openly threatened to revoke the licenses of ABC affiliates unless Kimmel was suspended or cancelled. This occurred after Kimmel, a host and comedian, had made several remarks about the reaction to the conservative activist, Charlie Kirk’s, assassination last week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” … Kimmel’s comments did not advocate violence, nor did they celebrate Kirk’s death in any way. However, Nexstar, which broadcasts 23 ABC affiliates, announced that it would drop the late-night show from its ABC affiliates nationwide over these observations made by Kimmel, a comedian in a country that has freedom of speech protected by the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution, in regard to Charlie Kirk. ABC followed suit.

[T]he irony here … is that we have spent years with House Republicans, especially waxing on about the censorship by Joe Biden on social media platforms, … And they became free speech absolutists only though, when the speech is to their liking. And that is exactly what is barred by the 1st Amendment. … This is a coordinated attack on our fundamental values, the rights in the Constitution, and everything we stand for. It’s using the DOJ …. It’s using the threat of not approving a merger or of taking a broadcast license away and it cannot be allowed anymore. … The American people need to recognize what’s going on and rise up and object …”

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable … The more troubling trend is the rising violent rhetoric isn’t just coming from the ‘fringe’ left, it’s being ‘normalized’ [emphasis added] by the left.
M.D. Kittle, The Federalist, 4/7/25
When I woke up this morning, I decided, as I often do, to turn on CNN because that is the quickest way to learn about the day’s Democrat Party Talking Points. I did not know what had happened but the faces told me that something horrible had transpired while I was asleep. In fact, the faces looked very similar to the faces on Fox News the morning I learned that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. So, what had happened to make Anderson Cooper and other look like all their dogs had suddenly died overnight? Had some MAGA wacko assassinated some Democrat in retaliation for the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
Of course not. Conservatives were praying, not shooting at people. What had happened is that after Jimmy Kimmel’s absurd insensitive jokes and claims about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including the transparently false and silly remark that Charlie’s assassin was from Trump’s MAGA movement, ABC had cancelled Kimmel’s “comedy” show. Needless to say, the Democrats and the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC (aka the “mainstream” or “legacy” media) needs some alleged crisis to distract from the assassination of husband, father and Christian, Charlie Kirk, and the obvious documentable problem with the recent metastasis of left-wing violence (because that’s not good for their efforts to regain money, power and sanctimony in 2026 and 2028).
Many “experts” hauled onto the DPPC, like comrade Goldman, to promote the day’s Democrat Party talking points, feigned outrage, claiming, falsely, that the suspension of Kimmel’s unfunny struggling “comedy” show was an attack on the 1st Amendment. However, the suspension of comrade Kimmel’s show has nothing whatsoever to do with the 1st Amendment. Since Goldman sports a J.D. from Stanford one would assume he knows that though there is a constitutional guarantee of the right to freedom of speech, there no constitutional guarantee of the right to host a silly sanctimonious political propaganda show masquerading as comedy on late night TV. The same false view is promoted by Wikipedia, which generally tries to promote the impression that it is an encyclopedia, as opposed to another left-wing propaganda operation. Similar clueless talking points are all over our “news” media. I am earnestly waiting for Wikipedia and comrade Goldman to inform me where the right to host a late night “comedy” show is enshrined in the US Constitution. For the cancellation of comrade Kimmel has literally nothing to do with a “war” on free speech and nothing to do with “censorship”. Kimmel is still completely free to say what he thinks about Trump or the Kirk assassination. Just ask him! Duh!
Similar gaslighting is all over what’s left of our “legacy” media. Comrade Collins on CNN, apparently believing that the peasants live in the same overpaid script-reading clueless bubble that she does, told Senator Ted Cruz (TX) that we do not know the motive of Kirk’s assassin. Cruz laughed. Of course we do. Utah Governor Spencer Cox stated that
It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology. … The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.
The same article also points out that the assassin’s bullets were inscribed with the words, which, by some miraculous coincidence perfectly mirrors the Democrats/DPPC “Trump-is-a-fascist” meme, “Hey fascist, [Catch].” And Charlie did catch one of the bullets in his throat and it killed him on the spot.
Needless to say, these ghouls are not eager to take any responsibility for their role in nurturing this hateful “assassination culture” around the country. Accordingly, we are now required to pretend that Charlie’s assassin was not a left-wing murderer or even that he was MAGA, just like we were required in the past 5 years by these same propagandists to pretend that Joe Biden was a dynamo of intelligence and energy, or for the last 9 years that Donald Trump had colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, or that Trump had tear gassed people in Lafayette Park, or that border agents were whipping migrants in at the southern border in 2021 and so on and on and on.
Nor, as the Left would have one believe, are those mourning Charlie Kirk’s death all white males. Not by any means. As this tribute to Charlie Kirk shows, decent people of all races see through the Democrat-DPPC lies. This black woman describes how she is being censored for praising Charlie Kirk (because these are the same frightened little bitches at Facebook and elsewhere who have censored conservatives for years for telling the truth). They cried “wolf” once or twice or thrice too often and, with the widespread ghoulish celebrations on the Left and excuses for Charlie’s assassination, more and more people now see the hateful Left for what it really is. Since Charlie genuinely believed in everything good and decent, the radical Left hated him. The radical Left, and that is now a lot of them, shrank from Charlie Kirk the way Satan shrinks from the Cross … and that’s why they killed him and celebrate his murder.
Unfortunately, the Democrats and their DPPC shills have not yet figured out, despite their obliteration in the 2024 election, that for every person who buys into their transparent venomous lies, 1.1 people see through them and move further to the Right. That is what scares them! And that is why the Democrats and their DPPC shills are making fools of themselves and reaching even new depths of absurdity.
