News Anchor Suspended, Resigns Over Charlie Kirk Remembrance

NewsMax

"Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air."

"An Illinois television reporter has resigned from her job as an anchor for a local ABC affiliate after she was suspended for airing a tearful tribute to her late mentor, conservative leader Charlie Kirk, after his assassination in Utah last week.

"Beni Rae Harmony announced on social media her decision to leave WICS-ABC20 Springfield,

claiming she faced retaliation from the station for broadcasting what she called a "non-partisan tribute."

"Effective immediately, I have resigned from @WICS_ABC20 after being SUSPENDED for airing a non-partisan tribute to Charlie Kirk this past Friday," she posted on X. "Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination. I believe I am the first to be targeted for honoring him on air."

She added that her decision to resign was "guided by values that are essential to who I am, which I refuse to set aside in order to keep a job. I choose my faith and love of country, and always will."

Harmony concluded by thanking "Springfield. My home. My community. My people," and adding "God Bless Charlie Kirk and his beautiful family, and God Bless these United States of America." . . .

TV Anchor Resigns After Tearful ‘Non-Partisan’ Charlie Kirk Tribute Allegedly Leads to Suspension

Polling finds MAGA Youth Are Pro-Israel, Despite the Popularity of Some Anti-Israel Influencers on the Right

Legal Insurrection

There is a trend among some influencers on the right to oppose Israel, but that message is not being embraced by young MAGA folks.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

The MAGA Youth Are Still Pro-Israel, Free Beacon-Echelon Insights Poll Shows

Young conservatives and Trump voters have a largely positive view of Israel and strongly approve of the way President Donald Trump is handling the U.S.-Israel relationship, a Washington Free Beacon poll found. That’s true even for those who tune in to or get their news from anti-Israel podcasters like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens.

The poll, conducted in late August, surveyed over 1,000 young conservatives between the ages of 18 and 34. These young people support Trump’s handling of America’s relationship with the Jewish state by a whopping 43-point margin and a majority believe that the United States should support Israel as an ally. The president has been overwhelmingly supportive of Israel in its war against Hamas and continued to demand the release of Israeli hostages held by the terrorist group.

The polling comes at a time when anti-Israel influencers on the far right like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes are drawing eyeballs and the notion that young conservatives are increasingly hostile to the Jewish state is gaining traction. A New York Times profile of Fuentes, for example, noted that “his anti-Israel, anti-immigrant, anti-transgender and anti-civil-rights views seem to have gained new currency during the second Trump administration.” . . .    By one point. One.                           When Racists Write Charlie Kirk’s Obituary   

. . . "Now the race hucksters justify racism in the name of “diversity.”  

"An objective reporter writing an obituary for Charlie Kirk would have noted that he treated everyone he met with respect and that he believed that every person — regardless of skin color — deserves love and dignity.  But stating this truth would damage the leftist addiction to racial antipathy.  So the corporate news propagandists call him a “racist” and “white supremacist.”

 Antisemites are going to town with Charlie Kirk’s death  . . . "When evil people deviate from those core moral values, the first group they attack is the Jews because the Jews remind them of their moral failures. And after the Jews—always—the evil doers go after everyone else. (As the saying goes, first they come for the Saturday people and then for the Sunday people.)

"Because Jews are the canaries in the coalmine whenever tyranny becomes ascendant, everyone, Jewish or not, should worry about the venomous blood libel that alleges that Charlie Kirk, rather than being killed by a trans-loving leftist, was a victim of shadowy Jewish terrorism."

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is NOT conservatives’ "George Floyd moment."

1. Charlie Kirk’s assassination is NOT conservatives’ "George Floyd moment."

" 'Not only does Kirk himself, a devout Christian, husband, and father of two, have nothing in common with Floyd but after his death, his followers channeled their anger toward fostering greater community and spirituality, not burning down historic churches, police precincts, and federal courthouses.

"2. Kirk’s death is not the result of “Right on Right” violence.

"Bullet casings from the scene of the crime had anti-fascist phrases like “Hey fascist! CATCH!” and “Bella Ciao” written on them.

"The suspect in Kirk’s assassination, Tyler Robinson, was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, a biological male who identifies as a girl, according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. 

" 'So, the Left seized that moment and tried to push through agendas—and were successful—that otherwise would not have happened. Nobody's trying to do that now.

" 'They're trying to commemorate Charlie Kirk by one positive way, and that is everybody go out and register to vote. Register as many people as you have. Register more people that are young and conservative than has ever been registered before. And then turn out in the November midterms in one year. And then do the impossible. Overturn historical precedent and elect a conservative House and Senate to empower a conservative Charlie Kirk agenda.”

What Charlie Kirk’s Murder Really Means  

"The fact that an ordinary conservative was assassinated has led many of us to give up hope that the “other side” can be reasoned with. “Charlie was one of the last true believers in that idea, and we saw what happened to him,” we think. This reaction is not rational, but it is understandable, especially if you have had the misfortune of reading the hateful rhetoric that is being spouted by bots and our brothers and sisters in the wake of Charlie’s death."

UPDATED: The Left’s Horrid Rhetoric Pulled the Trigger and Brutally Murdered Charlie Kirk 

 . . . "For years, political figures on the left have ignited a violent fire with their rhetoric, labeling Trump and others as “criminals” and “fascists.” But the Left’s hate only fuels and strengthens Charlie’s mission."

 

Democrats Wondering If Maybe They Should Stop Saying The Things Assassins Are Having Engraved On Bullets

 Babylon Bee...parody..... or not?

"U.S. — Democrats have begun wondering if perhaps they should stop saying the sorts of things that assassins engrave on shell casings for when they murder people.

"In the wake of yet another shooter engraving liberal messages on ammunition, the Democratic Party considered if maybe that was a bad sign.

"Wow, people keep writing things I say on bullets they use to kill people. Should I... should I not be saying those things?" pondered Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. "Could that, just maybe, not be good? It seems a tad concerning."

"Though somewhat uneasy about seeing their own quotes engraved on shell casings used by murderers, the Democratic Party is hesitant to rush to conclusions. "Just because we say certain people need to die, and that they will kill everyone if they aren't stopped, and call them fascists, and assassins kill those particular people, and write 'Die Fascist' on the ammunition, I'm not so sure there's a connection," said Cenk Uygur. "It feels like a stretch."

"At publishing time, the Democrats had decided they had done enough introspection about their ideology leading to violence and instead shared doctored photos of the assassin to promote more violence against conservatives."

Doesn't anybody know what a fascist is?

In the 1940s people were warned to take the anti-Jewish Nazis seriously:   No joking matter: 1940s political cartoons warned US of Holocaust | The Times of Israel  "Proof of America’s awareness of genocide against European Jews lay in the funny papers, where cartoonists used pens to eviscerate US politicians’ apathy" 

Today we have the apathy and misinformed vindictiveness of college aged young people infused with what I can only call evil; a dark spirit that makes them capable of murder. Many lament and protest the death of murderers but celebrate the death of innocent citizens. TD

Fascists excel at killing Jews; Hitler was allies with "Palestinians" who aided with the Holocaust.

Many of the cartoonists were Pulitzer Prize-winning muckrakers. Some were the targets of racist mobs. And
 some, like Eric Godal and Arthur Szyk, were Jewish refugees whose parents were trapped in Hitler’s Europe.

 What Does Fascism Really Mean?  "Asked whether she agrees with Kelly’s description of Trump as a “fascist,” Harris told [Anderson] Cooper, “Yes, I do.' ”

 Modern Usage and Misuse   

Today, “fascist” is frequently used as a pejorative label in political debates, sometimes applied loosely to opponents rather than strictly to true fascist movements  Genuine historical examples—Italian Fascism and German Nazism—meet the criteria of centralized authoritarian control, extreme nationalism, suppression of dissent, and often racist policies  

"Misusing the term can weaken public understanding of authoritarian risks."

Before A Left-Wing Assassin Murdered Charlie Kirk, Chris Wray’s FBI Tried To Destroy Turning Point USA

Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA was on a short list of Republican groups targeted by President Joe Biden’s FBI under the direction of then-Director Christopher Wray.

 . . . "While the FBI, DOJ, and OIG could have been fighting crime, the Biden Administration instead used these far reaching government agencies to probe the finances of its political foes, fishing for wrongdoing. Where was the probable cause to launch such investigations?  

"In addition to Turning Point USA or Turning Point Action, the list included numerous entities related to Donald Trump. Here are a few others on the target list: My Pillow [My Pillow!?], Women for America First, Conservative Partnership Institute, America First Policy Institute, Tea Party Express, Attorney Sidney Powell, Public Interest Legal Foundation, and several entries listed simply as “Giuliani,” likely referencing Rudy Giuliani." . . .

At least Lincoln wasn't assassinated by Stephen A. Douglas's supporters before his election

Raise Your Hand If You’re Glad Charlie Kirk Was Assassinated (So We Know Who You Are) . . . "To wit: Anyone who delights in the public execution of an innocent civilian, and who is willing to broadcast their delight to the world, should have no place in a civil society.

"We can no longer afford to do nothing while this death cult gathers strength."

Leftist Commentator ‘Destiny’: If You Wanted Charlie Kirk Alive, You Shouldn’t Have Elected Trump    . . . "Democrats certainly have weighed in on political violence over the last 10 or so years. More specifically, they’ve fomented it.

"Over the last decade alone, the blue party has solicited physical harm against their political enemies, pledged insurrection, threatened Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices, and even facilitated an assassination prep campaign that resulted in two failed attempts on Trump before he was re-elected."    

"They’ve yet to face any accountability for their key role in adding fuel to the fire. In fact, the minuscule consequences some are facing for rejoicing over Kirk’s murder — losing their jobs — are lamented by Democrats and their allies in the corporate media." . . .rs strength."

This is the state of “debate” in our elite institutions, cheering when someone you disagree with is gunned down. If this is the future of free speech in Britain, God help us.

Was the Current Madness Birthed in the University?

"America’s descent into violence and moral chaos—from Kirk’s assassination to suppressed crime truths—traces back to the toxic ideologies nurtured in universities."

Victor Davis Hanson   

"Is the hatred caused by the media, who talk about toxic “whiteness” nonstop? Is it the collateral damage from the racial obsessions of a Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, and septuagenarian Al Sharpton, now ending his racialist career where he started it?"

"America is currently sick.

"The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old ‘anti-fascist’ and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson. As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. Indeed, Kirk may well have ensured that Donald Trump won the 2024 election by not just increasing his youth vote by 6 percent since 2020 but, more importantly, by margins in the swing states of 15-24 percent, ensuring Trump’s victory.

"No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration—among them scores of teachers and professors. Their venom was eerily reminiscent of their earlier canonization of left-wing murderer Luigi Mangione. Recall, Mangione was the spoiled nepo baby who lethally ambushed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Thereby, he became an icon to the Left as a social justice warrior fighting the evil capitalist system, which had so enriched himself and his own family.

"Such utter moral bankruptcy was on display as well by the social media praise of Palestinian activist Elias Rodriguez (“Free Palestine”), after he brutally murdered a young Jewish couple at the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. Rodriguez supposedly showed the world how to deal with Zionists—reifying the hateful rhetoric that pervades the modern campus.

"Was that ghoulishness confined to such anonymous left-wing nuts and fringe trolls?

"Not really.

"MSNBC’s guest “analyst,” Matthew Dowd, casually raised an asinine suggestion that the lethal shot came from a Kirk supporter firing off a round. And then, in Pavlovian fashion, he blamed the assassination of Kirk—on Kirk himself—for being an unapologetic “divisive” activist.

"Dowd, who was subsequently fired by an embarrassed MSNBC president, only took his cue from anchorwoman, the untouchable Katy Tur, who first editorialized Kirk as a “divisive” figure. By her logic, would that mean that, say, a Bernie Sanders or Zohran Mamdani would also be divisive? What does Joe Biden, by Tur’s logic, deserve after labeling half the country as “semi-fascists” or reducing them to “garbage,” “chumps,” and “dregs”—or boasting he’d like to take Trump behind the gym and beat him up?

"Does Tur mean that anyone deemed “divisive” then should naturally expect what befell Charlie Kirk?" . . .

"The Fake News Media, the Democrats and the left generally are in panic mode working to spread lies about Charlie Kirk . . ."

The Fake News Media, Democrats and Radical Left are Lying about Charlie Kirk   "Leftist political violence is on the rise with Fake News Media, Democrat politicians, activists and the far left using more and more radical, violent rhetoric. I wrote about the violent rhetoric (and leftist political violence) on this substack, several times (see also here and here). I also observed previously that the far left consider political violence a tool and that the violent rhetoric serves to “trigger” the radical leftist fringe into acting out violence. The visceral response Americans had to the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk only days ago made the media, Democrats and their enablers “circle the wagons” and start fabricating lies and misinformation about Charlie Kirk. I debunk a couple of the nastier lies in this article." . . .

BEGONE!

Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement–putting it in quotation marks–that the person never said. That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper.   

But Attiah did not quote Kirk’s “own words on record.” His own words didn’t give her the ammunition she needed, so she fabricated a fake quote, for which she was fired. Amazingly, you can read the entire Times article without being told that this was her offense.

The New York Times exists for the sole purpose of misinforming its readers. The good news is that hardly anyone still takes that paper seriously. The Times’s long record of fabrication and misinformation has caught up with it.

"Is this an example of a type of journalism where you confront someone with a rumor and get a denial which is then the printable story, that X denied the rumor?"  "I ask Grok, after getting it to summarize a Daily Beast article titled "White House Insists Stephen Miller Does Not Play With Dolls" (which I won't link to because it's behind a pay wall and even if it weren't, I don't think you should go there).

"Grok: "Yes, this article is an example of a journalistic practice sometimes referred to as 'rumor-based reporting' or 'denial-driven journalism.'..."

"Another prompt: "What are some examples of famous people who have been defined by rumors — the rumors stick as meaning something even when they are not proved or even regarded as likely?"

"I expected Richard Gere and I got him... along with Walt Disney's frozen head."

Aggie said...

..."The race was close and Johnson (LBJ) was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.
“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f*cker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”
“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the - sob - deny it.”

‘Trans’ Lover of Alleged Kirk Assassin Praised Jordan Peterson Online in Surprise Twist

"Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested Friday in Utah in connection with the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. 

"Authorities confirmed that Kirk died after being shot in the neck during an appearance at Utah Valley University.

"FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated that Robinson had been “infected” by extreme leftist ideology in the lead-up to the assassination. 

"Online postings revealed by various outlets appear to confirm Robinson’s alignment with far-left political views. However, a separate digital trail highlights the views of Robinson’s alleged trans-identifying romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, whom Resist the Mainstream has covered extensively.

"A new report has surfaced spotlighting that in multiple Reddit posts, Twiggs expressed admiration for Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, who is known for opposing radical leftist ideologies, particularly those concerning gender identity and pronoun usage." . . .

Why is this Israeli ground invasion different in Gaza City

AiTelly  

"The attack is characterized by the systematic destruction of urban areas, with entire residential blocks being demolished in a block-by-block fashion."

"Why is this Israeli ground invasion different in Gaza City?

"The Israeli ground invasion of Gaza City on August 21st, 2025, represents a marked departure from previous offensives in both its ambition and execution.

"Unlike past operations that primarily aimed to weaken Hamas’s military capabilities or target specific infrastructure, this campaign is openly focused on the complete seizure and control of Gaza City.

"Israeli officials objective is not only to defeat the Militant over the entire city, both above and Below Ground vast network of Tunnels signaling a New strategic shift toward full occupation of Gaza.

"What sets this offensive apart is also its unparalleled scale. Israel has mobilized between 60,000 and 80,000 reservists, the largest deployment in the history of the Gaza conflict.

"This massive troop buildup indicates plans for a sustained, intensive campaign over an extended period, contrasting sharply with previous incursions, which involved fewer ground forces and were generally shorter in duration." . . . Full Article here..

Trump to Investigate George Soros on Racketeering Charges

I'm sure Biden would have done that if only he was reminded. TD

RTM  . . . "Trump described the alleged actions as more than just protests. “This is real agitation. This is riots on the street. And we’re going to look into it.”He claimed that protesters “get paid for their profession from Soros and other people.' ” . . .

Trump is right: George Soros - Godfather of Global Disorder - belongs in prison.  "President Trump’s latest broadside landed with the familiar thunder of one of his off-the-cuff declarations. In a rather interesting interview with NBC News, he called for billionaire George Soros to be “put in jail.” To his critics, it sounded like yet another wild Trump line, a flourish designed to inflame. It carried the same cadence as the time he promised “fire and fury” for Kim Jong Un, or when he declared NATO allies were “delinquent” freeloaders, or when he warned that the European Union was a “foe” in trade. Each line was ridiculed, painted as reckless exaggeration. And yet, time and again, those same lines revealed uncomfortable truths that polite opinion preferred to ignore. Trump’s style makes it easy to dismiss him. But if everything we have seen about Soros is true, his words deserve more than a shrug.

"Soros has spent decades funneling money into the arteries of the American left. His Open Society Foundation bankrolls activists, academics, and political operatives who wrap their work in the language of “justice” and “equity.” In practice, that money has underwritten campaigns to weaken police, abolish bail, and elect prosecutors who refuse to prosecute. The result is not legitimate justice but lasting disorder: theft normalized, violence excused, and citizens trapped in cities that no longer feel safe.

"George Soros is not merely a donor. He is a designer. He builds networks that outlast elections. He funds think tanks that shape language, NGOs that craft narratives, and media outlets that amplify them. His fortune converts ideology into policy, bypassing the regular checks of democracy. The pattern repeats across continents.

"In Eastern Europe during the 1990s, Soros money flowed into opposition movements, toppling governments and reshaping political orders. Hailed as a liberator, he was anything but. The costs were staggering. Sovereignty diluted, dependence on foreign funds entrenched, and aid organizations more loyal to donors than to the citizens they claimed to serve." . . .More... 

Zohran Mamdani Vows to Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu

 PJ Media   

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) wasn't nearly as diplomatic; she called out this "dangerous and absolutely outrageous" promise from what she termed an "Antisemite Communist who is on pace to destroy NYC."

"When most people think of mayoral campaign promises, they picture fixing potholes, improving schools, or reducing crime. But Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist nominee for New York City mayor, is vowing to have the NYPD arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he dare show his face in the Big Apple.

"This isn't your typical political grandstanding. Mamdani wants to honor an International Criminal Court arrest warrant targeting Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza, stemming from the ongoing war that erupted after Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. The socialist firebrand claims that Netanyahu is committing genocide and insists New York must "stand up for international law," where the federal government supposedly hasn't.

"The practical implications are staggering. If Mamdani were serious about this crusade, Netanyahu couldn't address the United Nations while Mamdani was mayor. The leader of one of America's closest allies would be effectively banned from speaking at the UN headquarters because New York's mayor decided to play international prosecutor.

"There's just one tiny problem with this plan: it's completely bonkers from a legal standpoint.

"The United States isn't even a member of the ICC and doesn't recognize its authority. Legal experts are having a field day pointing out that arresting Netanyahu would be practically impossible and could violate federal law. Matthew Waxman, a Columbia Law School professor, called this "more a political stunt than a serious law-enforcement policy." He's right: This isn't even close to being legally feasible." . . .
