Alexandria Obviously-Commie and dozens of Dems refuse to condemn Kirk's murder

Well, folks, the House of Representatives just gave us another masterclass in political theater, and this time it's wild. On Friday, 58 Charlie Kirk-hating Democrats decided to thumb their noses at a resolution from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that honored Kirk and condemned political violence. 

Yes, you read that right, 58 leftists couldn't bring themselves to say, "Hey, maybe assassinations are bad." The resolution, which passed 310-58, denounced Kirk's murder in Utah last week. All Republicans and 95 Democrats managed to find their moral compasses, but 58 others said, "Nah, we're good," and 38 more just shrugged and voted "present" like intellectual cowards.

Johnson's resolution wasn't exactly controversial, unless you're allergic to basic decency. It "honors the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk, whose steadfast dedication to the Constitution, civil discourse, and Biblical truth inspired a generation to cherish and defend the blessings of liberty." It also calls on "all Americans, regardless of race, party affiliation, or creed, to reject political violence, recommit to respectful debate, uphold American values, and respect one another as fellow Americans." 

In a speech, Speaker Johnson painted a picture of Kirk as a decent person who could spar in the political arena and still keep it human: "After political debates, Kirk would 'reach out a hand of friendship or offer an arm around the shoulder of someone who he had just defeated in a contest.' Why? Because it wasn't about winning … the policy arguments. It was about the people," Johnson said. "And Charlie loved vigorous debate, but he loved people more." 

A conservative who could out-debate you and still buy you a beer afterward? That’s the kind of unicorn the left apparently can't handle.

So, who were the 58 Democrats who couldn’t stomach this? Oh, just the usual suspects: Reps. Jasmine Mega-lashes Crockett (Texas), Pramila Jayapal (Washington), Alexandria Obviously-Commie (New York), Rashida From the River Tlaib (Michigan), and Ilhan Brotherly Lover Omar (Minnesota). The Squad and friends, basically, doing their best to remind everyone why "unity" is just a buzzword they toss around when it suits them. 

AOC, never one to miss a chance to grandstand in her signature nasal way, took to the House floor to call Kirk a racist. She doubled down on X, writing, "His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans, far from 'working tirelessly to promote unity' as asserted by the majority in this resolution. We can condemn his horrific assassination and the scourge of political violence without uplifting these ideas." 

Translation: "Sure, murder is bad, but let's not pretend this guy wasn't the worst and was asking for it." 

House Democrat leadership actually agreed on Thursday to support Johnson's resolution. So, what happened? Did the Squad just wake up on Friday feeling extra spicy, or is this just another day in the life of a party that can't decide if it wants to be the grown-up in the room or the kid throwing a tantrum in the corner?

For a little perspective, earlier this year, a resolution condemning the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband passed unanimously, with every single Republican on board. No hemming, no hawing, no "but their policies were icky" bullcrap. Republicans managed to condemn violence without playing morality roulette. Funny how that works. 

Meanwhile, the Senate pulled off a rare moment of clarity on Thursday, unanimously passing a resolution to mark October 14, Charlie's birthday, as the "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk." 

It's ceremonial, sure, but it's a nice gesture in a world that seems to have forgotten how to do those. And if that isn't enough to tug at the heartstrings, a memorial service for Kirk is set for Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, with heavy hitters like President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance slated to speak. 

Say what you will about Kirk, but he clearly left a mark. So, here we are: a resolution condemning political violence and honoring a decent person who lived for debate and country, and 58 Democrats couldn't be bothered to sign on. If that doesn't sum up the state of our politics, I don’t know what does. 

Maybe next time they'll vote "present" on common sense, too.

Six years in the slammer for 4-Star Admiral Burke

Let me paint you a picture: Admiral Robert Burke, a guy who climbed all the way to the Navy's tip-top, four-star rank, living large as the second-highest officer in the U.S. Navy. We're talking a cushy $187,000 base pay when he retired in 2022 after 39 years of "service." His pension is a cool 87% of that amount, plus housing stipends and all the perks that come with being a big mucky muck. Not exactly scraping by, right? 

But for Burke, that wasn't enough. No, he wanted more. And he got it, by selling his soul for a bribe disguised as a fat corporate gig.

No "alleged" about it anymore. On Wednesday, the 62-year-old Coconut Creek, Florida, ex-admiral found out he's trading his stars for stripes, prison stripes: six years in a federal pen.

A jury nailed Burke on charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, straight-up bribery, acting on a personal financial conflict, and hiding key facts from the government. He's looking at six years locked up, three years of supervised release, and a bill for $322,850 in restitution plus $86,748.08 in forfeiture, per the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C. [Guess who that is.]

Here's what U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro had to say, and she didn't hold back:

"Integrity -- not cash -- is the currency of public service. Admiral Burke rose to the pinnacle of the U.S. Navy, entrusted with leadership and honor. But instead of leading by example, he cashed in that trust,  turning four stars into dollar signs and trading duty for a corporate payday. Today's sentence sends a clear message: if you sell your honor and trade your influence, you'll pay the price, in prison time."

Let's rewind to 2021. Burke is nearing retirement, one year shy of a clean 40 in the Navy. He's already got his eyes on a sweet civilian gig with Jump Start, a company promising him a hefty $500,000 a year. But Burke isn't just daydreaming about retirement, he's working angles while still in uniform. 

Burke is leaning on Navy folks to funnel contracts to Jump Start. The company's co-CEOs, Meghan Messenger and Youngchul "Charlie" Kim, think they've got Burke in their pocket, a golden ticket to Navy deals. They meet him in July 2021, and here's where it gets dirty. 

The Department of Justice lays it out plain. At the meeting, the charged defendants allegedly agreed that Burke would use his position as a Navy Admiral to steer a sole-source contract to [Jump Start] in exchange for future employment at the company. They allegedly further agreed that Burke would use his official position to influence other Navy officers to award another contract to [Jump Start] to train a large portion of the Navy with a value Kim allegedly estimated to be "triple-digit millions."

Burke, still calling shots in 2021, pushes his staff to hand Jump Start a $355,000 contract for training Navy personnel in Italy and Spain. It lasts two months before the whole scheme starts crumbling. Another admiral, not drinking Burke's Kool-Aid, smells the sewage and shuts it down. Burke retires, slides into his Jump Start job, and thinks he's golden. So does Jump Start. 

Big mistake.

The DOJ catches wind, and by June 2024, Burke, Kim, and Messenger are in cuffs. Kim and Messenger's trial ends in a hung jury, bet the DOJ’s gearing up for round two or a plea deal. They're crying foul, saying Burke duped them. 

Burke's life is now a total train-wreck. Six years in prison, three on a leash, and he's coughing up over $400,000. Oh, and those four stars? Burke’s done. He’ll likely lose two stars and settle for a slashed pension. Disgrace doesn't even cover it.

Six years isn't enough for tarnishing the uniform like that. Burke didn't just betray the Navy, he spit on every sailor who served with honor.

Actress Amanda Seyfried moonwalks in reverse after condemning Charlie Kirk

Leave it to Hollywood to step in it and then try to wipe it away with a press release. Actress Amanda Seyfried, best known for her role in the 2004 teen flick Mean Girls and soon to grace screens in The Housemaid, found herself in hot water after comments about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Now she's scrambling to clarify, claiming her words were "taken out of context." 

Aren't they all when leftists are held accountable?

Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was gunned down on September 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He  leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. 

While conservatives and even some liberals hailed him as a free-speech warrior, others, apparently including Seyfried, seemed to think his rhetoric was an open invitation to violence. Screenshots making the rounds online show her calling Kirk "hateful" on Instagram and sharing a post that snarked, "You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating." Ouch.

Cue the backlash, and Seyfried's now singing a different tune. In a public post, she tried to thread the needle: "We’re forgetting the nuance of humanity. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk’s murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable." She went on, "No one should have to experience this level of violence. This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?"

In her caption, she played the victim card: "I don’t want to add fuel to a fire. I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context. Spirited discourse- isn’t that what we should be having?" Spirited discourse, huh? Funny how that only becomes the goal after you've been called out.

Meanwhile, at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was killed, locals and students paid their respects at a memorial on September 15, 2025, showing the kind of class Seyfried might want to take notes on. Her attempt at damage control might convince her Hollywood pals, but on X, where the screenshots don't lie, the jury is still out on whether this was a genuine clarification or just a celebrity dodging accountability.

Kash Patel puts Adam Schiff in his place, bigly

The Senate Judiciary Committee just turned into a cage match, and FBI Director Kash Patel brought a verbal flamethrower to roast Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA). In a Tuesday hearing, Patel didn't just call Schiff out, he obliterated him, labeling him a "political buffoon" and an "utter coward" who would rather lie to the American people than miss a chance to rake in campaign cash. 

This was a public execution of Schiff's credibility.

The fireworks started when Schiff, ever the grandstanding drama queen, tried to corner Patel with a gotcha question about convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's recent move to a minimum-security facility. You know, the kind of question Schiff thinks makes him look like a crusader but really just screams "I'm fishing for a soundbite." He pointed out Maxwell's meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, smirking that the timing was suspicious. "You want the American people to believe that? Do you think they’re stupid?" old bug-eyes sneered. 

Patel wasn't having it. He clapped back, explaining the Bureau of Prisons approved the transfer, and he's not exactly micromanaging inmate shuffleboard schedules. "No, I think the American people believe the truth. That I'm not in the weeds on the everyday movements of inmates," Patel said, before dropping a truth bomb that left Schiff's ego in ashes: "What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you and we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate, in January 6. You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward."

That’s the kind of verbal smackdown that leaves a mark. 

Schiff, predictably, tried to drown Patel out, wagging his finger like a scolding schoolmarm and bleating, "This stinks to high heaven." Because nothing says "I'm losing" like repeating a tired cliché on a loop.

Patel, unfazed, kept swinging. "I’m not surprised," he fired back, "that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best." 

Schiff, clinging to his script, tried to zing back with, "I'm not surprised … You can take — you can make an internet troll the FBI Director, but he will always be nothing more than an internet troll." 

Nice try, Adam, but that smirk on your face just screams "I’m auditioning for MSNBC."

Patel wasn't done. He pointed out the inconvenient truth that Schiff's beloved Obama and Biden Justice Departments did zilch on Maxwell, while Trump’s administration brought new charges. "All you care about is a child sex predator who was prosecuted by a prior administration, and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat, and what did President Trump do? Bring new charges, courageously. And what have we done?" Patel said, adding, "Thirty-three thousand pages of information … Go ahead and run to the cameras, where you want to go now."

Mic drop. Schiff's entire career is a masterclass in performative outrage, and Patel just exposed him as the fundraising, pencil-neck, camera-chasing fraud we all know he is. This was a wake-up call for anyone still buying Schiff's "noble statesman" garbage. 

Keep the cameras rolling, Adam; you’re gonna need them for your next grift.

Nancy Mace Moves to Boot Ilhan Omar from Committees Over "Disgraceful" Charlie Kirk Remarks

GOP Rep. Targets Omar's Education, Budget Posts After Assassination ControversyIn a fiery response to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s eyebrow-raising comments about the late Charlie Kirk, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is taking aim at the Minnesota Democrat's committee seats. Mace announced Monday on X that she's filing a resolution to strip Omar of her spots on the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on Budget, calling Omar’s remarks "disgraceful."

"BREAKING: We're filing a resolution to strip
@Ilhan of her committee assignments after her disgraceful remarks on Charlie Kirk’s assassination," Mace posted, sharing images of the resolution.

The resolution accuses Omar of smearing Kirk and implying he was to blame for his own murder during an interview with progressive outlet Zeteo. It also claims Omar reposted a video on X that "disparaged the character of Charlie Kirk and those mourning his death." This move is the latest salvo from Republicans who've had it with Democrats they see as downplaying Kirk's assassination or tying it to his conservative firebrand status.

The uproar kicked off after Omar's Zeteo interview, where she took shots at Charlie’s past rhetoric and the GOP's response to his death. "He was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd," Omar said, also accusing Kirk of dismissing slavery’s impact and arguing "Juneteenth shouldn’t exist." When interviewer Mehdi Hasan called out those painting Kirk as just a guy seeking civil debate, Omar ineloquently doubled down: "There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so."

Omar didn't stop there. She blasted Republicans for hypocrisy in criticizing Democratic rhetoric: "These people are full of s--t. And it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness, and have, you know, empathy, which Charlie said, 'No, it shouldn't exist,' because that's a newly created word or something." She added, "Like, I have empathy for his kids and his wife and what they’re going through."

Facing backlash, Omar took to X to defend herself, insisting she "disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric" but doesn't "wish violence on anyone." She accused "right-wing accounts" of spinning a "false story" to "villainize the left" and distract from "Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis." Still, she called Kirk's death "mortifying" and claimed she condemned the murder multiple times.

Mace's resolution is a classic GOP counterpunch, reflecting the party's growing frustration with Democrats they view as soft-pedaling Kirk's death. Whether it gains traction in the House remains to be seen, but it's clear the bad blood between Omar and her critics isn’t cooling anytime soon.

Trump Orders Second Airstrike on Drug Boat, Slams Cartels as National Security Threat

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump announced Monday that U.S. military forces, acting on his direct orders, carried out a second airstrike against a Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing three traffickers and torching a shipment of narcotics bound for American shores.

The operation, conducted in international waters within the U.S. Southern Command's area of responsibility, targeted what Trump described as "confirmed narcoterrorists" from Venezuela transporting "illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S."

In a post on Truth Social accompanied by an unclassified video clip of the explosion—a vessel erupting in flames and thick black smoke amid several figures on deck, Trump wrote: "This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility."

The strike marked the latest escalation in Trump's aggressive campaign against drug cartels, coming just weeks after a similar operation earlier this month that the president said eliminated nearly a dozen members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.

No U.S. personnel were injured in Monday's action, according to the White House.Trump, fresh off boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for a trip to New York to attend a Yankees baseball game, used the post to issue a stark warning. "These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests," he continued. "BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!"

The move builds on heightened U.S. naval deployments in the Caribbean earlier this year, aimed at squeezing drug routes off Venezuela's coast while pressuring strongman Nicolas Maduro, whom the administration accuses of overseeing vast trafficking networks through proxies like Tren de Aragua, Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, and Venezuela's own Cartel of the Suns.

In August, the U.S. doubled its reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest to $50 million, citing his regime's role in flooding America with fentanyl and other poisons.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, speaking to reporters last week, laid out the scale of the problem: "Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself."

The strikes underscore Trump's vow to treat cartels as terrorist entities, a designation his administration has pushed to unlock broader military tools against them. Critics, including some Democrats, have raised concerns about escalation risks in the region, but supporters hail the actions as a long-overdue crackdown on the opioid crisis claiming tens of thousands of American lives annually.

As the president heads to Yankee Stadium, pointing emphatically toward his plane in a photo snapped by White House photographers—the message from the Oval Office remains clear: The hunt is on.

DNA evidence on Charlie Kirk's shooter is in

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell on "Fox & Friends" Monday, claiming they have the goods on Tyler Robinson, the guy fingered for trying to take out Charlie Kirk. DNA evidence, straight from the scene.

Patel didn't mince words: "I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody." 

The probability that the DNA belongs to someone else rather than Robinson, is practically zero. Profiling, which compares genetic markers, is very precise. The probability of two unrelated people sharing the same DNA profile using the standard 13 to 20 markers used in forensic analysis, is less than 1 in a billion! So in addition to visual evidence, the shooter's father's statement, and his LGBTQ partner's statement, the chances that Robinson is not the shooter is slim to none.

Cops say Robinson pulled a stuntman move, leaping off a roof at Utah Valley University right after the shooting, then hightailed it through some woods into a nearby neighborhood leaving behind a DNA-drenched towel and a screwdriver. The only thing missing was an inscription with his name on these items.

Right now, Robinson is cooling his heels under "special watch" in Utah, giving cops the silent treatment. He might not be talking, but that DNA's got plenty to say.

Another hater arrested for disgusting act outside Turning Point USA headquarte4rs

In Phoenix, outside the headquarters of Turning Point USA, a scene unfolded that could only be described as a grotesque parody of dissent. A young man, draped in the irony of a black t-shirt emblazoned with the American flag, was caught desecrating a memorial dedicated to Charlie. This act of vandalism, on a somber Sunday, was not merely an assault on stone and sentiment but a calculated affront to the very ideals the memorial sought to honor.

The scumwafer, later identified as 19-year-old Ryder Corral, was seen rampaging through the tribute, kicking over flowers, vases, and flags with the petulance of a child toppling a sandcastle. 

His rampage, spanning some 15 yards, was mercifully cut short when onlookers, no doubt incensed by the spectacle, wrestled him to the ground. The police, swiftly intervening, carted him off in handcuffs, a fitting denouement for such a craven display likely inspired by a media with a leftist agenda. 

One cannot help but note the grim coincidence: Corral's attire bore a striking resemblance to the t-shirt worn by Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the September 10 shooting of Kirk. A pattern, perhaps, or merely the uniform of a certain strain of reckless defiance?

The Phoenix Police Department, with characteristic efficiency, issued a statement: "Corral will be booked on multiple charges to include criminal damage and disorderly conduct," they declared. "An updated media advisory will be sent out once Corral is booked and a booking number is available." One wonders what animates such acts, whether it is ideology run amok or simply the thrill of destruction. What is clear, however, is that this was no mere tantrum; it was a deliberate desecration, a middle finger raised not just to Kirk but to the broader cause he represents. In an age where memorials are battlegrounds and symbols are weaponized, Corral's actions remind us that the fight for meaning is as fierce as ever.
