.@SenatorDurbin found endless compassion for causes that advanced his political agenda, but none for my daughter Katie.

He had the chance to show humanity, respect, and moral courage. He chose silence.

His north star was never people.
It was power, politics, and ideology.

What a tragic way to spend a life in public service.

Please take time to read today's Op Ep here: https://t.co/SH7buSY6gv

My writings are for my daughter Katie.

Her death was preventable like so many others at the hands of reckless open-border and sanctuary policies.

She is dead partly because of horrific policies forced on the public by incompetent, performative, self-serving politicians drunk on ideology and power, with no humility, accountability, or concern for the people forced to live with the consequences.

These politicians are not principled leaders or moral authorities.

These politicians are extreme, hollow politicians elevated far beyond their actual worth.

Reasonable people must reject ideological loyalty from these same thoughtless politicians and demand competence, honesty, and policies grounded in reality.

Katie deserved better. America deserves better.

DOJ must investigate @AliMayorkas and Illinois sanctuary policies with zero guardrails.

@GovPritzker say her name: Katie.

Secretary Giannoulias, why did Katie’s killer have a valid Illinois driver’s license while in this country illegally?

How was he approved to drive on Illinois roads?

He could not speak English or Spanish, only a remote Guatemalan K’iche’ dialect.

We even struggled to find interpreters during court proceedings.

The incompetence at all levels of governance in Illinois is staggering...

Aujourd'hui je déconstruis la déconstruction.

La déconstruction est le virus mental le plus efficace jamais conçu contre une civilisation. Il a été fabriqué en France entre 1966 et 1980 par trois hommes : Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Il a été exporté aux États-Unis, hybridé avec le puritanisme racial américain, et il est revenu trente ans plus tard sous le nom de wokisme paralyser l'Occident entier. Voici comment il fonctionne, et pourquoi il faut le détruire.

La thèse est simple. Toute vérité n'est qu'un rapport de pouvoir déguisé. Tout texte sacré, toute loi, toute science, toute norme, toute hiérarchie, toute identité, toute institution cache en réalité une domination. Déconstruire, c'est montrer le rapport de force sous le vernis du vrai. C'est arracher le masque. C'est "démasquer".

Formulé comme ça, ça paraît inoffensif. Voire utile. Qui n'aime pas un peu d'esprit critique ? Le piège est là. La déconstruction se présente comme une méthode. Elle est en réalité une ontologie. Elle ne dit pas seulement "interrogeons les normes", elle dit "il n'y a *que* des rapports de pouvoir". La différence est civilisationnelle.

Une société qui interroge ses normes reste debout. Une société qui croit que ses normes ne sont *rien d'autre* que de la domination s'effondre. Parce qu'elle ne peut plus rien défendre. Plus une frontière, plus une loi, plus une science, plus une langue, plus une histoire, plus une biologie, plus une famille. Tout devient suspect. Tout devient négociable. Tout devient "construit donc déconstructible".

C'est la première raison pour laquelle c'est un virus. Il s'auto-réplique. Une fois inoculé, il transforme tout ce qu'il touche en cible. La science est patriarcale, donc déconstruisons-la. Le langage est colonial, donc réinventons-le. La méritocratie est raciste, donc abolissons-la. Le sexe est une construction, donc choisissons-le. Il n'y a plus de roc. Tout est sable.

Deuxième raison. Le virus est *non-falsifiable*. Si vous défendez une norme, c'est que vous êtes l'oppresseur. Si vous niez être oppresseur, c'est la preuve de votre privilège inconscient. Si vous citez des faits, vos faits sont contaminés par le pouvoir qui les a produits. Si vous citez la raison, la raison elle-même est blanche, masculine, occidentale. Il n'y a aucune sortie possible. Le système est conçu pour rendre toute objection irrecevable par définition.

C'est exactement la structure d'une secte. Et c'est exactement ce qui s'est installé dans les universités, les RH, les médias, les administrations, les conseils d'administration depuis vingt ans.

Troisième raison. Le virus s'auto-réfute mais ne s'auto-détruit pas. Si toute vérité est pouvoir, alors la phrase "toute vérité est pouvoir" est elle-même du pouvoir, donc sans valeur. Logiquement, la déconstruction se mord la queue dès la première phrase. Mais elle s'en moque. Parce qu'elle n'a jamais cherché la cohérence. Elle cherche l'efficacité politique. Et son efficacité politique est immense. Elle désarme ses ennemis et arme ses militants. Elle paralyse le défenseur et libère l'attaquant. C'est une arme asymétrique parfaite.

Quatrième raison. Le virus produit des humains diminués. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Elle sait soupçonner, jamais admirer. Elle voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Elle peut produire mille pages sur le caractère opprimant de Shakespeare et zéro ligne qui vaille la peine d'être lue dans cent ans. Elle a confondu l'intelligence critique avec la pose critique. Elle est stérile par construction. Un esprit nourri à la déconstruction est un esprit qui ne sait plus rien édifier.

Cinquième raison, la plus grave. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers. La croyance qu'une vérité est accessible à la raison. La croyance qu'un bien se distingue d'un mal. La croyance qu'un héritage mérite d'être transmis. La déconstruction a méthodiquement dynamité les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui avait nourri ses prophètes. Mais le résultat est là. Une civilisation qui ne croit plus en sa vérité, ni en son bien, ni en son héritage ne se défend pas. Elle s'excuse en attendant la fin.

Voilà ce qu'on a fait. Voilà ce qu'il faut nommer.

La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'un virus mental ne survit que tant qu'on lui cède l'autorité du discours. Il meurt dès qu'on cesse de jouer son jeu. Dès qu'on réaffirme tranquillement qu'il existe une vérité, un beau, un bien, un héritage. Dès qu'on cesse de demander la permission aux déconstructeurs pour bâtir. Dès qu'on refait. Dès qu'on transmet. Dès qu'on crée.

Les bâtisseurs ont toujours le dernier mot sur les commentateurs. Toujours. Parce qu'à la fin il reste ce qui est construit, et rien de ce qui a été déconstruit.

Alors aujourd'hui je déconstruis la déconstruction. Et demain je construis.

The civil rights movement, as you know it, is a lie. Here’s the first 5 minutes of my new special:

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

The Daily Script: “Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant…but white citizens kill women too, would you feel better if she was killed by a white citizen?”

That framing is offensive, disgusting, and morally unserious.
Katie’s death was not natural, unavoidable, or inevitable. She did not die from old age or sickness. Her life was stolen in a preventable act of violence by someone who was in this country illegally amid multiple unresolved issues that court records reportedly show included aliases, false identity information, obtaining a driver’s license despite communication barriers, and only now receiving treatment for HIV while incarcerated.

These are not minor administrative failures. They point to deeper systemic breakdowns that Illinois policies allowed, protected, and in some cases prioritized over public safety and the interests of its own citizens.
That is the issue. Not every immigrant is the same, which is exactly why vetting, enforcement, and functioning immigration systems matter. Americans were repeatedly promised proper screening and accountability, yet obvious failures continue to produce preventable tragedies while criticism is dismissed instead of addressed.

I’m the son of legal immigrants from a third-world country. I was raised to value opportunity, responsibility, and respect for the law. Race is irrelevant. Anyone who instinctively frames a preventable tragedy like this through race says far more about themselves than the people demanding accountability.

Too often, anyone who challenges the preferred narrative or ideology is quickly painted as a bigot or racist to shut down opposing views instead of engaging honestly with the policy failures and consequences being discussed.

Compassion should be consistent, not selectively applied to one group while ignored for another. As a nation, we cannot amplify only the tragedies that fit an approved narrative while dismissing others that challenge it.

When reckless policies create preventable tragedies, people have every right to question those policies without being smeared as racist or bigoted. Reducing these discussions to race is often a tactic employed to avoid accountability and misdirect away from inconvenient stories like Katie’s instead of confronting the actual issue.

A society that selectively acknowledges victims for political convenience is not pursuing justice or compassion—it is protecting narratives while asking grieving families to stay silent.

But there is a real difference: accountability. A citizen can’t simply disappear across a border to evade justice. After Katie was killed, our family spent days not knowing if her killer would be found.

That uncertainty is part of the cost people refuse to acknowledge.

This isn’t about race. It’s about policy, accountability, and preventable outcomes.

When the conversation turns to race, it’s not clarity, it’s deflection from accountability. And that’s how preventable tragedies continue.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

You speak on Dreamers and illegal immigration ad nauseam, @SenatorDurbin.
But when your own constituent, my 20 year old daughter Katie, was killed by someone here unlawfully, there’s silence. Not one word. Not even eye contact.
It is such a betrayal...Any consideration for Katie?
Oh, and when is Katie's op-ed on the policy failures behind her death coming out?

“Conservatives don’t have empathy for the out-group.”

Swing and a miss, Skippy.

I’ll lay a dollar to a donut that conservatives as a whole are more effectually empathetic than liberals.

1. More conservatives are law enforcement, fire fighters, and military than liberals.

While you’re patting yourself on the back for acknowledging some mentally anguished child’s pronouns of the day, these people are willingly stepping in harms way for someone that they’re not related to, or even know.

2. Conservatives give more to charities than liberals.

Now, I’m talking actual charities, not government funded NGOs that make cash disappear like the Statue of Liberty on a David Copperfield special. From pregnancy care and foster/adoption services to homeless programs, food banks, and helping the community, conservatives do more than vote for higher taxes and more government spending.

3. Conservatives act out their empathy by doing what is right versus what feels good.

What feels good is spending millions on SNAP; you voted for it so you can check off “I have empathy”. What is right is helping with limits so that people have a chance to get back on their feet while balancing concern for those people who are paying into the program and don’t want to watch their hard earned money be wasted on fraud.

Liberals say the right things. They scream the loudest. They chant the hardest. But all their solutions come down to laying the burden of the solution on the shoulders of other people. That’s not empathy.

Conservatives don’t often voice what we do. We don’t address both sides of the SNAP conversation because we’re focused on the fraud. We don’t talk about the homeless issues except to point out government’s failure to fix the issue. Yet we donate money and time.

You’re not more empathetic. You’re just more narcissistic in trying to show off how empathetic you are.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@GovPritzker
As Katie Abraham’s father, I didn’t lend her name to Operation Midway Blitz lightly. I did it because my 20-year-old daughter was killed in a preventable way—and I refuse to let that reality be softened or ignored.

This didn’t have to look like chaos. What we saw wasn’t grassroots, it was manufactured through policy choices and a refusal to cooperate on targeted enforcement. If Illinois, and you, had worked even minimally on removing known criminals, there wouldn’t have been ICE in our streets at this scale, and fewer collateral apprehensions. But that outcome didn’t serve the narrative.

Instead, the presence in the streets and the collateral arrests became the cudgel. That’s the strategy: create the conditions, then point to the consequences. It’s akin to starting a fire, then arriving with the fire brigade to claim the role of hero, all while ordinary people bear the cost for political advantage.

When people think of policy-driven chaos, sanctuary policies without guardrails, breakdowns in enforcement, Illinois and Minnesota are at the center of that conversation. Why is that, Governor?

You present yourself as decisive. But using personal wealth to coerce a legislature, shape media narratives, and influence elections isn’t leadership—it’s control. Leadership demands consistency and accountability, and what you’ve shown instead is shifting rhetoric, positions that don’t hold, and staggering hypocrisy.

You and the media focus on one side of the story—but what about the victims who are never harmed because dangerous individuals are removed? That part of the equation is always ignored.

And when you had the opportunity to acknowledge Katie, to be honest about her death, you didn’t. That silence matters.
I wrote you a simple letter with simple questions. Why do you ignore the Katies of this state?
Katie is dead because of reckless, extreme policies that accepted—quietly but knowingly—that some people would be sacrificed. You were comfortable with that calculus.

I wasn’t. And I never will be.

I wrote about leaders like this—leaders who say one thing, do another, and avoid accountability when it matters most. You fit that pattern exactly.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

Dear Mr. Josh D’Amaro,
CEO, The Walt Disney Company.

I am writing to you as a concerned American and longtime supporter of the Disney brand and former Disney employee to urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to immediately remove Jimmy Kimmel from ABC’s airwaves.

What began as partisan commentary has now crossed into something far darker: a pattern of reckless, dehumanizing rhetoric that disrespects human life and contributes to the toxic climate of hatred and violence threatening our nation.

Keeping Mr. Kimmel on your network is no longer merely a programming decision—it is a serious and dangerous mistake that reflects poorly on Disney’s values and leadership.

Consider the facts.

On September 15, 2025, following the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk—your company’s own employee used his national platform to declare:

“The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

This was not neutral commentary. It was a deliberate attempt to smear millions of Trump supporters and shift blame away from the actual killer before the facts were known. ABC temporarily suspended the show amid justified outrage and FCC scrutiny. Yet Disney chose to reinstate him—an unfathomable decision that signaled tolerance for this kind of inflammatory rhetoric.

Just days ago, on April 23, 2026, Mr. Kimmel escalated further in a pre-taped sketch. Mocking the First Lady of the United States, he said:

“Of course, our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

He later claimed this was merely “a light roast joke about their age difference.” Yet he never said that on air. The implication was unmistakable—and chilling: that Melania Trump appears radiant at the prospect of becoming a widow. In the days that followed, another armed gunman stormed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, marking the third assassination attempt on President Trump in recent years.

Mr. D’Amaro, this is not comedy. This is the kind of dehumanizing language that lowers the threshold for violence. When a major network platform repeatedly portrays the President, his family, and his supporters as legitimate targets for contempt, or worse, violence, it does not entertain; it incites.

Disney has long marketed itself as America’s family entertainment company—the proud steward of Walt Disney’s legacy of wholesome, non-partisan storytelling that brings people together. Yet by protecting and platforming an individual who has shown such blatant contempt for basic human decency, you are allowing that legacy to be stained.

If another act of political violence occurs—and the pattern of escalating rhetoric followed by real-world attempts on the President’s life suggests it very well could—the blood will not be only on the hands of the deranged perpetrator. It will also rest on those who continued to give a national megaphone to the hatred that helped create the climate for it.

The Walt Disney Company once stood for something higher than partisan score-settling. Your viewers—families across America—expect and deserve better. Removing Jimmy Kimmel is not censorship; it is moral leadership.

It is the bare minimum required to restore trust in your brand and to affirm that Disney will not profit from content that disrespects life and fans the flames of division and hatred in America.

I respectfully urge you to act decisively. The eyes of the nation—and history—are watching.

Sincerely,

Rob Schneider

Now comes the false moral equivalences of so many on the Left.

Violence is no way to resolve our political differences whether from the left, right or center, they say, as if the incidence levels are the same.

Many of the Leftists parroting this alibi masquerading as moralism are the same people who previously (and, in many cases, currently) that silence is violence, words are violence, and the enforcement of laws is violence.

They purposely redefine nonviolent disagreement or conduct in furtherance of civilization as "violence" to justify actual violence committed by Neo-Marxist revolutionaries who believe the ends justify the means.

After the shooting at the WHCA dinner, CNN's Van Jones openly worried about a culture of "cheerleading violence" that would rear its head again in this case the way it did with the lionization by some on the Left of the man who assassinated the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

Would? It did immediately even as bilge-spewing pols like Jamie Raskin feed their comms shop flacks on the CNN desk with the lie that there is no personal animus in his heart nor his rhetoric just policy differences.

As such, you'll forgive me if I cannot go along with the fairy tale that this incident will be a catalyst for a more genteel political climate.
