Trump Remembers the Victims of 9/11; Will Award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom; Vows to Go After "Radical Left Lunatics"

JusttheNews:

President Donald Trump on Thursday participated in ceremonies honoring the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the 24th anniversary of the event.

"This morning, we recall the light of America's best and bravest and the love they showed in their final moments In their memory, we make a solemn pledge and a noble promise: we will honor -- always -- our great heroes," Trump said.

"On that fateful day, savage monsters attacked the very symbols of our civilization," he added. "Yet here in Virginia, and in New York, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, Americans did not hesitate. They stood on their feet, and they showed the world that we will never yield, we will never bend, we will never give up, and our great American flag will never, ever fail."

"The real victims are the people who posted gleeful celebrations of Charlie Kirk's cold-blooded murder, under their own names" -- journalists, typing away at this very moment

Little did he know, the report had already been filed:

Wired exclusive: "Right-Wing activists" are naming, shaming, and doxxing the assassin-cheerleaders, and some of those assassin-cheerleaders are getting, they claim, death threats!

Oh no! You literally just spent 24 hours proclaiming that people should be murdered and now some other people are saying you should be murdered!

What have you done to deserve such a thing as this?!?!

You truly are The Real Victims Here!!!

What can I do to ease your burden?! Because I'm very, very #Concerned about your feelings of safety or non-safety.

Right-Wing Activists Are Targeting People for Allegedly Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Death


Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.

Far-right influencers and violent extremists are posting identifying details about people they view as celebrating or glorifying the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The campaign has been swift and widespread and has already led to at least one person losing their job and others receiving death threats.

It's "extremist" to name people cheering on political assassinations -- but not extremist at all to cheer on political assassinations. Got it.

What was it the left used to tell us when they still had the power to cancel us over Mean Tweets....? Ah yes: "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences for your speech."

Pro-assassination murder-drunk lefties, welcome to the Consequences of Your Speech.

Take a close look at many of the groups we see over-represented in celebrating Charlie Kirk's death:

-Teachers
-Healthcare Professionals
-Government Workers

These are NOT radical blue-haired freaks. They are the highly-indoctrinated Democrat rank and file.

Oh no! What about their precious careeers, though! They spent six years in college pursuing DEI Studies! What about their careers?!?!

The left is out in force saying "pew pew" -- their infantile, puerile, cutesy way to say "shoot people with guns until they are dead and leave behind orphans."

But oh no! This website documents them saying more Republicans need to be "pew-pewed."

And they feel threatened when someone does something to make them feel like they're on a "pew pew" list themselves!

This can't be happening! It's just too terrible!

Paramount Seeking to Buy Majority Position in Spun-Off Parent Company of CNN; Will Fold It Into CBS "News"

Mediaite:

Paramount Skydance is planning to make a majority cash bid for CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery in an effort to consolidate the media giants, according to reporting in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

"The bid will be for the entire company, including its cable networks and movie studio," people familiar with the situation told WSJ.

Skydance is run by David Ellison, son of multi-billionaire Larry Ellison who co-founded Oracle Corporation.

Skydance officially merged with Paramount in an $8 billion deal just weeks ago after CBS agreed to settle a lawsuit with President Donald Trump for $16 million. Trump had claimed that a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris was "unfairly edited" and put him at a disadvantage in the 2024 election.

Note the fear. They know that the monkeys have been running around the zoo shitting all over everything for 20 years and they're afraid that reasoning humans might put them back in their cages.

Dylan Byers reported that Bari Weiss might end up with a big position overseeing both irredeemable anti-journalistic outfits. He doesn't say if this is based on sources' statements or is just his idle, clickbait speculation:

Dylan Byers
@DylanByers

Very real possibility now:

Paramount buys Warner Bros. Discovery, unites CBS News and CNN, and expands Bari Weiss's purview as "editor-in-chief" or "co-president" to include both...

Speaking of CBS: Despite having almost zero viewers, CBS's despised morning show thinks it has the swagger to casually support Charlie Kirk's murder.

Nate Burleson says that it's time for Republicans to reflect on our responsibility for political violence. He also declares that Charlie Kirk "offended" some "groups," and therefore he's responsible for his own murder.

He shouldn't have "offended" special protected "groups" that are allowed to murder you, you see.

But Trump Didn't Lower Prices Yet!: Inflation Comes In at Negative 0.1%, Meaning Prices Came Down in July in Absolute (not Just Relative) Terms

Trump has been making the case for months that we are no longer in Biden's "transitory inflation" phase. Jerome Powell never pre-emptively raised interest rates due to Biden's inflationary spending, and actually lowered them just before the election to boost Biden's chances, despite inflation still being well above the target rate.

Meanwhile, he refuses to lower interest rates for Trump, despite 1, inflation near the 2% target, and 2, signs of a weakening job market.

Well, inflation for July had been "expected" by "experts" to come in at 0.3%, for an annualized rate of 3.6%. Instead, they came in at -0.1%, meaning prices went down, and if this rate were annualized, prices would come down 1.2% for the year.

As I've said, the fed fears deflation because people will tend to sit on their money if they know their money increases in value just by hoarding it.

Will he finally reduce rates? Allegedly he's considering doing so for later this month, but just by a small amount. 0.25% or 0.5%.

He's a left-wing deep state ideologue so he'll do whatever he can to push us into recession.

Stocks hit fresh records Wednesday after new inflation data bolstered investor confidence about coming Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.

A surge in shares of Oracle, which said artificial intelligence had fueled an "astonishing quarter," sparked a broader rally in AI-related stocks. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose to new closing highs, a day after all three major indexes did so.

...

A gauge of wholesale inflation showed prices unexpectedly edged 0.1% lower in August, after jumping a month earlier. Economists had expected a 0.3% monthly rise. An equivalent readout on consumer prices is due Thursday.

"Just out: No Inflation!!!" President Trump posted on his social-media platform.

Unexpectedly.

Some Thoughts on the Charlotte Murder

Note from Ace: While we wait to hear about Charlie Kirk, and wait for the next MSNBC incitement to leftwingers to assassinate more Republican normies, TJM has some thoughts about the Iryna Karutska slaying.

So, I live outside of Charlotte, NC, but I simply don't consume local news. I never have, no matter where I've lived. I'm just not of the generation that reads local newspapers or watches local broadcast news. However, the story of Iryna Zarutska has fascinated me, and I think it's partially driven by a small discussion my wife, Dolley, and I had when we first moved to the area.

We moved to the city's environs because she got a major job offer from a major employer. We didn't want to pay Mecklenburg County house prices, so we ended up settling on a house in a rural/suburban area in an outlying county. Then the discussion started about how she would get to work. She eventually just settled on driving (I work remotely for a company based in another city and can work anywhere), but for a time she looked into using the light rail, the same light rail that Zarutska was murdered on.

So, it's caught my eye since news of it first broke in the final week of August.

WSJ: Recovered Rifle & Ammo Are Scrawled with Transgender, Antifa Messages;
CNN Hides This Fact From Its Few Viewers By Calling the Cult Slogans "Cultural Phrases"

The FBI recovered some fairly clear pictures of the newest trans terrorist.

This trans terrorist scrawled antifa and transgender death cult slogans on his gun and ammo -- exactly like the last trans terrorist child-murderer did.

Update: This photo of the trans assassin is pretty clear, but I strongly believe it's been enhanced by an AI clean-up which could have possibly distorted some of it. Like, he appears clean shaven here and with smooth skin, but has stubble in the photos and might have a pockmarked face.

Still, might be useful:

On to the trans assassin's rifle:

"The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus, and surveillance video shows the suspect jumping off and fleeing the area on foot," the email read, according to Crowder.

Law enforcement discovered "an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus," the email noted, "The location of the firearm appears to match the suspect's route of travel."

Each of the cartridges had "engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Following this Crowder report and the FBI press conference, the Wall Street Journal confirmed the reporting.

CNN is only interested in bringing you facts without any political bias whatsoever.

That's why they translated "transgender, antifa ideology" to "cultural phrases."

Note the first name in the byline is FusionGPS operative and RussiaGate Hoaxer Evan Perez.

CNN further elucidates that it's "not clear" what the trans/antifa terrorist's motive could be.

Ryan Saavedra
@RealSaavedra

Federal law enforcement says that the ammunition used by Charlie Kirk's assassin had transgender, anti-fascist ideology engraved on it

CNN makes no mention of what was written, only calling it "cultural phrases", adding it's not clear what the motive is

Unreal

Update! My friend Kyle Shiedler puts it perfectly:

Kyle Shideler
@ShidelerK

"Shooter's rifle scrawled with cultural phrases commonly used by CNN hosts"

On air, CNN's chyrons called the trans terrorist messaging "phrases related to cultural
issues."

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

24 years ago our relaxed post-cold-war, end-of-history world changed.

But did it? Or was it that our perspective had become so relaxed that we lost sight of the reality of the human condition, and the even more brutal reality that there were, are, and always will be forces aligned against the best and highest expression of our humanity.

Part of the problem is that we have also lost sight of what that humanity is, and have lost sight of the true face of those who are allied against that humanity.

Our founders knew very well what that humanity is, and knew that without a robust structure protecting it, we would lose it. Our glorious Constitution gave us that structure, and the Bill Of Rights codified the rights that must be protected.

But the true face of those who would destroy our humanity is difficult to discern in a world that carefully rejects clear morality, and much prefers the murky and unstructured view that we are all able to create a moral and ethical structure out of whole cloth.

We can't. There is evil in this world, and no amount of obfuscation and moral relativism can hide that. Islam is evil, and its single-minded purpose is the destruction of exactly what makes us human. And those who would subvert the essence of what makes us unique are also evil. Celebrating transsexualism, stealing our free speech, destroying the family, making love of God a nasty punchline, killing the most innocent among us... all of this and more conspires to steal our individualism and make us just cogs in their infernal machine.

Because evil will never rest, and will do whatever it takes to destroy those who love and respect humanity, we must be vigilant forever.

And there are those among us who are more than vigilant. We are blessed with people who not only are aware of the evil around us, but also join the fight against it.

There was no one in the world who fought harder and better against the encroaching evil than Charlie Kirk. Not with his fists, but with his intellect and wits and love of humanity.

Charlie Kirk was our Happy Warrior!

Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he

That every man in arms should wish to be?

--It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought

Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought

Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:

Whose high endeavours are an inward light

That makes the path before him always bright;

Who, with a natural instinct to discern

What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;

Abides by this resolve, and stops not there,

But makes his moral being his prime care;

Who, doomed to go in company with Pain,

And Fear, and Bloodshed, miserable train!

Turns his necessity to glorious gain;

In face of these doth exercise a power

Which is our human nature's highest dower

The arrant nonsense spewed by evil that Charlie Kirk was a racist and a Nazi and a White Supremacist and hated gays doesn't survive a cursory examination of his work. His skill at refuting evil while still able to smile and love was astonishing, and it is all the more impressive when one appreciates the vitriol that was heaped on him everywhere he went. But he kept doing it, and he made a real difference.

When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.

What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement -- where violence is not an option.

-- Charlie Kirk

The question before us today is whether the evil that is arrayed against humanity can be combated with talking. Some of it? Certainly? But when it crosses into violence, what should good people do?

The Morning Report — 9/11/25

Good morning kids. It is bitterly ironic that Charlie Kirk, who indeed was a voice of sanity and reason for his generation and indeed for all real Americans, was silenced by an assassin's bullet on the eve of the 24th anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack. His martyrdom at the hands of a crazed Leftist, despite the despicable remark I saw somewhere claiming that he was shot by accident from a gun-toting supporter who fired off a celebratory round or some such bilge. Beyond that, we have Democrat pols and pundits doing what Muslims did 24 years ago as the Twin Towers collapsed, ululating and passing out candy. They are celebrating Kirk's murder while blaming him for his demise. His rhetoric you see caused his demise. Like the rape victim who dressed too provocatively, or Iryna Zaretska who exposed her white neck on a Charlotte tram car to Black the Ripper's knife and only has herself to blame.

One of the most horrendous examples was that Matthew Dowd subhuman waste-of-life from MSNBC or as I label it MSNSDAP. I'm actually shocked that MSNSDAP fired Dowd, considering this is the whorehouse that continues to give a platform to one of this nation's most execrable fomenters of violence in its history, that of the hideous so-called "Reverend" Al Sharpton.

Not to be outdone was bipedal Cesspool JB Pritzker, who as Illinois governor is awash in the blood of innocent Chicagoans as he lets that once great city once home to numerous slaughterhouses and known as the hog butcher of the world degenerate into a slaughterhouse of citizens as criminals roam at will to terrorize the people. But I digress.

Remember how they cheered and made Luigi Mangione a folk hero. I cannot wait to see how Charlie Kirk's assassin is canonized. May the day come when the Left is cannonized from 30MM fire of A-10 Warthogs on a strafing run. Rhetorically speaking of course /s.

When do we get to strike back. When do we get to declare "Never Again" and defend ourselves. If the rule of law means nothing to them, and like President Trump relying on a justice system that is out to destroy him in order to seek justice, then we have passed the tipping point.

Some have postulated that we are in or close to being in a state of civil war but I think that that is incorrect insofar as it would mean that the bodies are piling up on both sides of the divide. And despite all of us being tagged as fascists, Nazis, literally Hitler, white supremacists, Christian nationalists and committers of genocide here and abroad, the facts just do not gibe with reality. But of course that is a sine qua non of Leftists, Democrats and their ilk along with projection. They are doing and behaving in exactly the way they blood libel us as.

What we are confronted with is a political party and movement whose leaders in their two-century and continuing lust for absolute power have amassed a sizable following willing to vote the rest of us straight through a gate marked Arbeit Macht Frei as their antecedent kissing cousins did 80 years ago in Germany.

How many more Charlie Kirks, Iryna Zarutskas, Laken Rileys, catholic school children, Ashli Babitts GOP softball practices, Corporate executives and on and on and on must we mourn before, as the late MLK poetically intoned the biblical passage, "may justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Justice??? from a justice system that is non-stop pissing on our back and proclaiming it's raining. A justice system that threw the book at Daniel Penny, railroaded Donald Trump several times on a slew of bogus charges, and failing to destroy him that way, not to mention 2 or 3 assassination attempts, has shredded the Constitution in derailing his legal authority as President to discharge his duties across a broad range of domestic and foreign policy issues.

My incandescent hatred of the Left in this country not just for what they have done culturally, politically and now by cheering, fomenting and committing actual bloodshed but because they are making me want to see and visit the same, 10,000 times worse upon them. May God save us from the hell they have unleashed upon us and guide us in paths of righteousness so that we as a nation and people may once again live in peace, with truth and justice.

On the latest edition of the podcast, our friend the estimable Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute discussed with me and CBD the horrifying implications of their latest set of polls, linked here and in the sidebar.

And of course do go to Heartland dot ORG to read and weep for yourselves.

One of of the more shocking revelations was that a very large majority of the 18-39 year old demographic, even across party lines, is strongly in favor of curtailing free speech rights. Considering who Charlie Kirk was and what he dedicated his life to – free speech and open political discourse – his assassination takes on an even more chilling tone.

But, at the young age of 31, Charlie was a part of that age cohort that is pushing to recreate Nazi Germany in their own image here at home.

Let us hope and pray that Charlie was not an outlier and that there really is a sizable number of Americans of all ages that are repulsed by what these polls are revealing about the path we are going down, which more and more is resembling the Road to Hell, or in the death camps what the Nazis euphemistacally and cruelly referred to as the Road to Heaven - the walkway that led to the doors of the gas chamber and crematoria.

I apologize in advance if my editorial today is a bit disjointed. I am just shaking with both rage and grief over Charlie Kirk as well as the memory of 9/11/01. NYC, despite all of its problems and faults, was and always will be my hometown and at the time while I was living in LA I was bicoastal and came back many times. I was in town for a couple of weeks before the attack and in fact was at the WTC the week before. I traveled from my place in Queens via the E train to the Trade Center and weirdly referred to it as my ground zero, from where I would go shopping at Century 21 dept. store, J&R Music world and then take a leisurely stroll up through Tribeca for a breakfast. That was my routine, sometimes accompanied by my father as we would go art gallery hopping in SoHo. I remember emerging from the subway that day and something compelled me to gaze upward to the top of the Towers like a tourist, and I had the weird feeling that I might never have the chance to see them again. My folks wanted me to extend my stay but something compelled me to return to LA and the next thing I knew, my dad was on the phone telling me turn on my TV, and that a plane had struck the WTC. My first thought was Cessna, until I saw the second plane strike the North tower and the world I thought I knew was gone forever. Had I extended my stay, no doubt I would've been at Ground Zero at the exact time of the attack.

Also, I later learned that a schoolfriend of mine happened to be on the 108th floor of the South Tower that day and so, as it is every year now on this day, my thoughts turn to her.

May her and all the memories of those who were slaughtered that day be for a blessing.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day!

I saw a tweet, or a purported tweet, by an asshole with a Star Wars Cantina Band name threatening that "something big" would happen to Kirk today. I don't really want to post it because I don't have any idea of its authenticity.

Update: I don't know why I'm hiding it. You be the judge. It might be fake, it might be real, it might be real but just another bitter loser left-wing Satan worshipper praying to his dark god of lies and chaos.

Our hearts are shattered. America has lost one of its greatest champions. A loving family has lost the most extraordinary husband and father. All of us must now dedicate ourselves to defeating the evil that stole Charlie from this world.

As Sven said, find the "network" and arrest everyone even sixteen hops away from the killer. "Beryl Howell showed us the way."

September 10th, a Day That Will Live In Infamy

Beautiful words of comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ about the eternal life we have in Him:

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."

NEW: President Trump has ordered all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff until Sunday at 6 PM in honor of Charlie Kirk.

A powerful and immediate gesture from our Commander-in-Chief.

Charlie gave everything for this country. Let's give him the honor he deserves.

Just the News: Charlie Kirk Has Been Murdered, Shooter Still At Large

Apologies to TJM for posting his post- - I thought we were in a news lull with Kirk in stable condition.

Just the News says that he has died.

They further say that the deranged Democrat arrested at the even is not the shooter, who remains at large.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at an event in Utah and has been confirmed dead at the age of 31.

Multiple sources confirmed his passing to Just the News.

Kirk was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Despite an initial statement from the school confirming that the suspect was in custody, the person initially arrested was apparently not the shooter, who remains at large, CNN reported.

President Donald Trump noted his passing:

We are in a different world than the one we woke up in. (And that one wasn't that great either.)

I will repost TJM's post tomorrow, when there's no so much breaking news. Sorry, TJM.

I'm also sorry for saying that posters posting this sad news were trolls. I've just seen so many leftwing celebrations on Twitter (at Reddit and BlueSky and TikTok), I thought that lefties were now infesting the comments to dance on Charlie Kirk's grave.

I wish * had something wise and comforting to say.

I will say that he was a great moral crusader, smart tough and full of guts, and that he inspired many in life and will inspire still more in his death.

I pray for him. I do not pray for his killers, and those who celebrate his killing. For them, there is only cold, deadeyed hatred.

"Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God."

Matthew 5:4-8

Rest peacefully in the merciful arms of Jesus, Charlie. May the Lord give your family peace.

Tolkien had a good thought on this:

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till."

The uprooting will not be easy.

MSNBC Guest: Charlie Kirk Brought It On Himself, "You Can't Stop with... Saying These Awful Words and Not Expect Awful Actions to Take Place"

Unbelievable.

I recognize this guy, but can't name him. I want a name. I want a name to publish.

I think it's Matthew Dowd, ABC "News's" former "political director."

Do hateful words lead to hateful actions? Boy I sure hope that's not true for your sake, Matt.

BREAKING: It's reported Charlie Kirk is in critical condition. According to the Associated Press.

Critical isn't necessary terrible, as long as he's stable. I think "critical" just means ("just") that he is under close observation and it's a minute-by-minute thing. But if he's stable -- and I don't know if he is -- then there's a good chance he can be saved.

Update: By word of mouth, he's stable -- but they now fear he'll be paralyzed.

62 They're worried about Kirk having a spinal injury now. Survived blood loss now prayers that he's not paralyzed.

TikTok leftists are celebrating the assassination. Why Trump continues allowing this Chinese PsyOp to continue, I'll never know. Maybe Barron is telling him "Young people like it."

Actually, you should go see what they are saying on BlueSky right now.

Clarifying.

If Rumble was banned for allegedly supporting the J6 protest -- what should happen to BlueSky for glorifying political terrorism?

Update: Reddit too. Again, if Rumble was banned for glorifying a mere *raucous protest,* what should happen to Reddit for glorifying actual political murders?
