I Believe in Joe Hendry! He was gracious, but good lord did he look tired. And his line was almost all the way around the building. But I'm very happy I got to meet him. Eager to see what TNA has in store for tomorrow, as they're taping the go home shows leading into Bound for Glory.

First, and most importantly, the original inhabitants of the lands now called Alberta were indigenous. But even if we are going to talk about European colonizers, the claim Alberta was first occupied by Americans is revisionist since the first European settlers in Alberta were from New France.

As a kid, reading Terry Pratchett gave me so much hope for humanity. Here, look this writer is famous, everyone reads his work! And it's so sensible and humanist. And Vonnegut And Le Guin And Asimov... I just, I just assumed... That more people would get it. I've basically given up on that, now.

Ezra-

Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things. 

What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence. 

When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.

Man, there are so many Christians who don’t understand the difference between the pursuit of holiness and that of moral superiority. Spiritually bypassing other people’s reality because you’re uncomfortable is not wisdom. God called you to heal the sick & feed the poor, not to win the argument.

I'm going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk. If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution... those profiles must come down.
So, I'm going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER. I'm also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I'm basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination.
I'm starting that today.
That is all.

Devin Bartlett is one of the best cops reporters in the country -- www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
BY Glenn Thrush and Devlin Barrett: "According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the shooter’s rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”

But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information."

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Note, a lot of people got the Laura Loomer tweet screen cap from me. I just want to clarify that it continued. Here's the whole thing.
I don’t ever want to hear @charliekirk11 claim he is pro-Trump ever again. After this weekend, I’d say he has revealed himself as political opportunist and I have had a front row seat to witness the mental gymnastics these last 10 years. 

Lately, Charlie has decided to behave like a charlatan, claiming to be pro-Trump one day while he stabs Trump in the back the next. 

TPUSA was only able to thrive thanks to the generosity of President Trump. 

On the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Charlie hosted @ComicDaveSmith at @TPUSA’s SAS conference where Dave Smith was able to speak to a bunch of conservative youth at an organization that claims to be Pro-Trump. 

3 weeks ago, Dave Smith called for President Trump to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office over his decision to blow up Iran’s nuclear facilities. 

Charlie played both sides of the Iran issue on his show as we all saw, because he wants to play to both sides of the aisle. 

The honorable thing to do is to have a position and actually defend it to the death instead of flip flopping. 

Smith said all of MAGA “should turn on Trump” and abandon him. He said this 3 weeks ago. 

See the clip below. 👇🏻 

TPUSA is definitely not pro-Trump. If they were, they certainly aren’t anymore. 

Out of all of the incredible pro-Trump voices out there who support the President, Charlie decided to host Dave Smith? 

It really is shameful. And I am honestly just disgusted by the nonstop flip flopping on the right.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.
