RUTHFULLY YOURS

Just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is working overtime to hide the truth and create fantasies about his death.

Specifically, leftists alleged that conservatives were going to “pounce” on the death to wage protests and boost radical agendas in the manner of what followed George Floyd’s death.

Here are some of the lies that such a ridiculous narrative entails.

One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd. There were no mass riots after his death of the sort that followed Floyd’s demise.

Floyd’s death was used by the left to justify five months of rioting, arson, murder, looting, and attacking police officers.

The postmortem respect for Kirk’s singular life was not characterized by $2 billion in property damage, the torching of a police precinct, a federal courthouse, and an iconic church, 35 deaths, and 1,500 injured law-enforcement officers.

Instead, thousands of people peacefully joined his Turning Point USA organization and promised to redirect their lives toward peaceful political engagement.

Two, after Kirk’s death, no prominent Republican or conservative is encouraging ongoing mass (and often violent) protests in the manner of high-profile leftists like Kamala Harris.

She blurted out on national television in June 2020, “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up—and they should not. And we should not.”

No conservatives—like the spouse of Governor Tim Walz—declared of the 2020 arsons, “I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”

Instead, Kirk’s supporters are calling on everyone to express their anger peacefully at the ballot box by registering to vote and showing up for the 2026 midterms.

Three, Charles Kirk was not George Floyd. He was a law-abiding, religiously devout, political organizer, happily married with two children. Kirk was a media figure and head of a huge 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose brand was calmly debating students who disagreed with him.

Floyd should not have died while in police custody. But Floyd’s comorbidities were many. When arrested, he was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine, with a heart condition and recent Covid infection.

He was a career felon, with eight previous criminal convictions, who had in the past staged a violent home-invasion robbery and pointed a knife at the abdomen of one of the female occupants.

The Pop Quiz Nobody Asked For

Somewhere between Nickelodeon, a college lecture hall, and a CNN panel, there exists a pop quiz that never dies: questions don’t change, biased grading, and a predetermined outcome.

Answering with logic, history, or facts results in the professor, or, in this case, the media and activist class scribbling the same word in red ink across the top of the page: Nazi.

The insult isn’t the problem; it’s the sheer laziness of their argument. It’s a verbal equivalent of a raspberry aimed at an empty room.

When political debate is full of words with specific blood-soaked histories, the power of those words evaporates. After calling every political opponent “Hitler” long enough, the memory of who Hitler really was fades.

In the first Incredibles movie, Dash’s mom, Elastigirl, told him that the world says everybody is special. Dash complained that it’s another way of saying nobody is.

Our public discourse has evolved into a giant vocabulary test, where half the class can’t be bothered to open a book, let alone study.

Their written answer in the blank is “fascist,” except that when they spell it, it’s more like “fastfish.”

I know everybody is familiar with the following terms, but if it helps just one person, I will feel swell.

Nazi: The All-Purpose Smear

https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/17/weaponized-scoops-new-russiagate-documents-expose-media-government-collusion/

This article was originally published by RealClearInvestigations and made available via RealClearWire.

Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia.

Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump’s first term.

Much of their reporting has been debunked – and shown to be part of a smear campaign by high-ranking officials to undermine Trump, but the identities of those leakers have remained hidden because of the government’s apparent unwillingness to expose its own and the refusal of reporters to identify the people who misled them and the nation.

Although the heavily redacted recent disclosures do not specifically identify the suspected leakers, an RCI analysis of the documents strongly suggests that people close to Comey and Schiff, among others, were feeding the reporters information to advance the Russiagate hoax.

The documents reveal a cascade of misdeeds and failures. These include the effort of government officials to create and leak misleading classified information to favored reporters and the failure of reporters to scrutinize the information they were given before rushing it into print, and the subsequent failure of federal investigators to hold anyone accountable for the breaches of security.

The documents also detail the incestuous nature of media-government relationships inside the D.C. Beltway. In some cases, spouses and friends of government officials and reporters were used to spread damaging misinformation about Trump, making it difficult for federal investigators to follow the trail of illegal disclosures.

“All of these cozy friendships of leakers and leaker recipients, many of whom are married to each other, are precisely why reporters adore hiding their sourcing behind walls of ‘senior administration officials’ or ‘senior U.S. officials’ and associated disguises,” said Tim Graham, director of media analysis for the Media Research Center, a Washington-based journalism watchdog group.

Not that anyone outside Tinseltown cared or noticed, but the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night in the wake of Wednesday’s epochal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. While the world mourned peaceful, free speech martyr Charlie, Hollywood celebrities – who are ordinarily eager to turn awards shows into political platforms – pointedly made not a single reference to his murder throughout the entire event, much less held a moment of silence.

Could there be a starker demonstration of the unbridgeable chasm between American patriots and the out-of-touch, hate-America elites of Hollywood?

Showbiz rags like Deadline and The Wrap are crowing that the awards show drew a four-year viewership high, according to Nielsen data. Keep in mind, however, the salient point that the last four years marked deep plunges in Emmy viewership because Americans are fed up with these privileged haters. Indeed, the 76th ceremony in January 2024 holds the record for the all-time lowest Emmys audience, with just 4.3 million bored viewers worldwide. Hollywood wants desperately to believe that Sunday’s slight uptick is an indication that star power is coming back strong.

It is not. Celebrity endorsements, for example. are worthless now. Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris discovered this the hard way during her campaign last year, when she desperately passed out big bucks like Halloween candy to buy the support of big-name entertainers such as Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Lizzo, and Oprah Winfrey. Neither they nor dozens of other stars moved the electoral needle one iota for Kamala. The days when politicians – Democrats, anyway – could count on a boost from buddying up with movie stars and pop stars are over, because in recent years progressive celebrities have squandered their influence by displaying open, partisan contempt for more than half the country.

The White House announced plans last month to conduct an “internal review” of Smithsonian museums to determine whether they “reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story.” A chorus of left-wing critics claimed that the Trump administration was trying to stifle free speech and whitewash history. New York Times culture reporter Robin Pogrebin, for example, characterized the efforts as part of “a wholesale attack on the arts” that could have “lasting, chilling effects,” as Trump attempts to “impose his vision of American history.”

In truth, it is the Left that has imposed its idiosyncratic vision of American history on the Smithsonian museums. Rather than a misguided attempt to control these museums, the Trump administration’s review is a necessary step to reclaim for the American people institutions that have long been controlled by the Left.

Consider, for example, one of the Smithsonian’s recent depictions of “American history.” In 2020, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History opened an exhibit called Girlhood (It’s Complicated). Per its chief curator, this 5,000-square-foot display partially reflects the curatorial team’s thoughts “about how intersex and transgender stories illuminate and complicate ideas about girlhood and what it means to grow up female in the United States.”

This is the kind of “history” Smithsonian visitors have come to expect. But according to Pogrebin, it is Trump who wants “a simplified version of America, a story with kind of less nuance and complexity.” In fact, however, the Left has pressured these museums to present a one-dimensional story of oppression, denying the splendor of a nation whose creation British author Paul Johnson describes as “the greatest of all human adventures.”

George Floyd was a saint, probably better than you could ever even imagine being, a wonderful father, and was murdered by police because he was black. OK, none of that is true. George Floyd was a junkie criminal who died of a drug overdose in police custody, and the best thing he ever did for his daughter was live far away from her so she didn’t have to see her addict, criminal father steal her toys to sell for drugs. Which version do you believe says everything about your politics? If it’s the latter, you’re likely a conservative; if it’s the former, you’re probably an idiot.

On whichever side you fall, the reality is that Floyd’s death was a political opportunity of a generation for the Democrats. If you cut out the drugs and the passing off of counterfeit money, the violence, and all the other crimes, you have a wonderful man there. Of course, George was not a wonderful man; he was a bad one who died because he took too many drugs and didn’t tell the police who were arresting him that he had ingested them. It’s pretty simple.

Now he’s a mural, an abstract idea where Democrats project only good thoughts and ideals onto, ignoring the reality that they’d call the police themselves if they’d seen him walking down the street in their neighborhood. For all the “Black Lives Matter” talk, if any of those people raising money or virtue signaling off his memory had given a single damn about him while he had a life to matter, he likely wouldn’t have died of an overdose.

Hell, if any of those liberals cared beyond Floyd being a weapon, he may well have been a productive member of society who could live with, or at least near, his daughter.

Iryna Zarutska was a productive member of society, as much as any 23-year-old can be. If a junkie’s life, after decades of bad, deliberate choices, mattered, Iryna’s life mattered too. Even more.

But you aren’t allowed to say that. Left-wing media outlets lined up staff to tattoo George Floyd’s likeness on their lower backs, but couldn’t bring themselves to mention Zarutska because of her skin color.

In an extraordinary moment in the history of Western civilization, two defining events happened––the assassination of Charlie Kirk in the United States on September 10, 2025, and Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom rally in England on September 13, 2025. These two momentous events bookended the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, Islamic attack on the United States of America killing 3,000 innocents.

These seemingly unrelated events are, in fact, intimately connected.

Consider the fact that before the United States of America, political power was shared between religion and state in every nation in the world. The United States of America is the greatest experiment in individual freedom the world has ever known because it separated church (religion) and state (government), specifically limited government power, and formalized the inalienable individual rights of its citizens. The United States of America broke the historical binary mold of rulers and ruled when our founding fathers created a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people––and created an upwardly mobile middle class.

American patriots have fought for our national sovereignty and individual freedom since our founding, and American patriots continue to fight to preserve our constitutional republic, while the enemies of freedom continue to try to restrict our most basic freedom––freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there are no other freedoms. Today we are a world at war: Globalism vs Nationalism.

In a familiar divide-and-conquer strategy, the globalist elite social engineers are fomenting divisiveness in America because a house divided cannot stand. The globalist elite fund and foment the anti-American policies of the radical leftist Democrats including destruction of the family; destruction of children’s innocence; destruction of the middle-class; open borders; DEI; and Marxist collectivist indoctrination in American schools. The political objective is to create divisiveness that weaken America from within. Conflict between black/white, gay/straight, rich/poor, male/female, old/young, capitalism/socialism, individualism/collectivism, Judeo-Christian/Muslim, and Jew/Christian divisiveness are all intentionally exacerbated and exploited to weaken America.

A mob of leftists wearing green ‘Luigi’ caps and waving banners about ‘fascism’ celebrated, danced and hugged each other on a Manhattan street after terrorism and first-degree murder charges were thrown out against the leftist killer of a health care CEO.

Judge Gregory Carro argued that Luigi Mangione was wrongly being charged as a terrorist since the radical terrorist’s objective “was not to threaten, intimidate or coerce, but rather to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry.”

Luigi’s means of drawing “attention” was murder which is the definition of terrorism.

The dozens of leftists crowding the narrow sidewalk outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse less than a dozen blocks from Ground Zero testified to the fact that Luigi Mangione was a political terrorist, part of a radical movement, killing on behalf of a larger cause. Why else was a mob wearing ‘Free Luigi’ t-shirts and caps associated with a Nintendo video game character hanging around an unappealing stretch of Center Street that not even a feeble attempt to stick a mostly unused park between the courthouses and government buildings could make livable.

It also brought home the ongoing leftist support for the “assassination culture” highlighted by Charlie Kirk before his murder and by the leftists cheering his killing across social media.

Luigi’s leftists had gathered early Tuesday morning, bringing sleeping bags, along with books about Communism and “Mansplaining’, and bottled water and Gatorade brought from nearby businesses in Chinatown run by elderly men and women who had fled Communist China.

Charlie Kirk is dead, aged just 31, gunned down at Utah Valley University doing what the conservative firebrand had been doing for more than a decade. Arguing, debating, talking in public. For that, he’s gone.

A manhunt is still underway, to find the scumbag who put a bullet through Kirk’s neck and deprived his wife and two children of their husband and father. We don’t yet know the motive. But it is impossible to ignore the climate in which this senseless killing has taken place.

Kirk was wearing a white t-shirt, with the word ‘Freedom’ emblazoned on it, when he was slain. It’s been the cause of his career. Bounding on to the scene in 2012, a co-founder of student group Turning Point USA, he was a seminal figure in the young-conservative pushback against the blue-haired intolerance of the campus left.

He dropped out of university himself, but cut his debating teeth touring campuses and taking on all-comers. He built an enormous following doing that most shocking of things in America in the 2010s: taking right-of-centre views to college campuses, arguing his case unapologetically, taking no prisoners but also treating those he disagreed with seriously.

Minds have turned to the rising temperature in America. To the bleak rise in political violence. To the bullet that ripped through Donald Trump’s ear last year. To Luigi Mangione shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in the back with a 3D-printed pistol.

I dare say the college campus is where this rot took hold. When Kirk was coming to prominence, students were rioting at Berkeley because Milo Yiannopoulos had dared to show up, or were manhandling academics at Middlebury for interviewing Charles Murray. Now, campus cancel culture has turned deadly.

Speech is violence. Words wound. These are the toxic fictions that have infected the West’s universities, media and cultural elites. Now we are confronted with the bloody consequences of it. For if speech is violence then surely violence is a legitimate response to speech?

It is time to talk about the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Not because he may well be the next mayor of one of the most important cities in America, and perhaps the world.

But because of what he represents: the core principles of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) of which he is a staunch and unapologetic member.

Let us first recognize that his socialism is not the socialism that we often attach to the Great Depression policies of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR’s version of “socialism” saved the nation from the ravages of the Depression in the 1930s through programs that leveraged public works as a means of restoring paychecks and pride for millions. The creation of FDR’s Social Security allowed families to put aside money that would be returned to them upon retirement. It was government with empathy.

Mamdani’s “socialism” is a corrosive ideology that despises the very principles that have made America the envy of the word. Capitalism, the economic engine that powers opportunity, is to be demonized. (No small irony for Mamdani: it is capitalism that has made New York great since its founding.) The DSA platform also calls for dramatic cuts in American military spending and withdrawal from NATO. Not only would allies of America, such as Israel, forfeit any military assistance, but America would oppose Israel being recognized by any other sovereign nation across the globe.

Mamdani is now seeking to cloak his positions, such as defunding the police and weakening our criminal justice system, because he undoubtedly recognizes that if New Yorkers ever truly focused on what he actually believes, they would seek out literally anyone else other than him.

Because New York City has a six-to-one Democratic enrollment edge, all Mamdani needs to do is throw a bomb blanket over what he truly believes in between now and election day, and he may be able to declare victory in November. Through slick online video hype and an effective grassroots campaign, he has been trying to sanitize his contempt for American values. If successful, the DSA would undoubtedly use his victory as a template for similar political seduction elsewhere across our nation.
