In the old days, I would have responded by calling right-wingers every name in the book as retaliation for this kind of bullshit. Really, 100 million Americans are all terrorists and criminals? Now, I'll just point out that this is what's dividing the country. And half the reason…

In A History of Violence, the scene where Tom faces the gangsters in his diner is one of the film’s most intense moments. Mortensen delivered such a powerful performance that Cronenberg kept the very first take, saying its raw energy couldn’t be recreated

So, @jimmykimmel had an inaccurate statement in his joke. Are we going to go back and analyze every joke for factual errors now? Because @realjeffreyross better watch out, I hear Bea Arthur didn’t even have a dick!

The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center.  It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong.

Wishing everyone the best of luck today. May you utterly humiliate and destroy your political opponents online. You are completely right about everything. Don’t ever forget that. Have a great day.

I’ve been in broadcasting my whole life. I’m the FIRST to say abolish the FCC and that government should have NO involvement in kicking people like Jimmy Kimmel off the air. That being said…I doubt that’s what happened. Between Kimmel's despicable "joke" about Charlie Kirk and…

🚨 The Earth just tilted off its axis. Tucker Carlson is now calling out Trump’s own regime, accusing it of using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext to abolish the First Amendment, round up Americans, and Nazify the country. Yes. He said that. And he’s not wrong.

Proud of my co-host @AnaKasparian for having unshakable principles. She’ll take on anyone on either side without giving a damn about partisanship. I’ll put link to her debate with Destiny on @PiersUncensored below. Morality isn’t left or right, it’s about empathy for everyone.

No, the marketplace of ideas has not failed because Charlie was murdered. Preemptively deciding what people can think or say is the very tyranny we've been fighting against this whole time. We stand for freedom — not the freedom to be violent, but the freedom to be wrong.

In the wake of Charlie's assassination, many people are demanding that we redouble our devotion to the "free marketplace of ideas." The call seems at first glance courageous and noble. In reality, it is reckless and impractical. We had an open marketplace of ideas; the Left shot…

Every single person on the left should really, really listen to this.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

Maybe what it’s actually time to do, in the battle of good against evil, is dismantle the Rage Economy — the one where we pay greedy but unimpressive people to keep us in a perpetual state of anger they pretend is righteous but really just lines their own pockets.

Charlie tried to have conversations with you on the Left, and you killed him for it. You're killing us in our churches. You tried to kill our President. You celebrate Charlie's death. It's time for good to fight back against evil. @MattWalshBlog

The Charlie Kirk Shooting was disturbing, disgusting and wrong. Praying for Charlie Kirk’s wife, kids and family. It’s okay to disagree with someone’s political views, but celebrating his death makes you a despicable human. No one deserves to be gunned down for their beliefs.

In 2013, I spoke for nearly 13 hours filibustering Obama’s use of drones on American citizens overseas. I have been the foremost critic of their use against Americans or civilians. I have not, however, opposed the concept of using drones in war. That position remains unaltered…

Average Ernest Hemingway story: To prove his masculinity, Hemingway sailed into a hurricane only to return haunted by a tragic love affair and God's indifference to his despair. Average F. Scott Fitzgerald story: After his wife called him gay, Fitzgerald slipped on a banana peel.

All humans are endowed with rights by their Creator. This idea is foundational to America. Though the Constitution does grant certain privileges to citizens related to political membership, such as voting and holding public office, it does not grant rights, such as free speech.…
