@mckaycoppins, “THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE CARTEL OLYMPICS” was an unreal read to close my day with. Thank you for pursuing a career in journalism.

(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.

Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.

And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.

Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.

I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.

Here are the facts:

Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.

Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.

Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.

These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.

Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:

These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.

These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.

When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.

They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit.

And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.

When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”

They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.

And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.

When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.

And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.

For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit.

In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.

In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism.

> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)

> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)

> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)

> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)

In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection.

> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)

> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)

All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.

You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.

Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.

If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.

“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

[Mallory @_malmoore]

And yet, the MSM has already begun blaming Trump’s rhetoric as the motivator. Make it make sense.

The DNC is a domestic terror organization and you can convince me otherwise.

@GovPritzker Hey this you 😂😂😂

[US Policy Guru @USPolicyGuru]

Oh, Governor Newsom, bless your heart. It seems you've stumbled into a constitutional quagmire with your little "Election Rigging Response Act" and Proposition 50. Let's break it down for you, shall we? Retaliatory redistricting, my dear governor, is not just a bad look, it's a direct, flagrant violation of Article XXI of the California Constitution. You know, that pesky little article that establishes the Citizens Redistricting Commission (CRC) to ensure fair, independent redistricting every ten years? Yeah, that one.

Article XXI is crystal clear: the CRC, not politicians like yourself, is tasked with drawing district lines based on neutral criteria like contiguity, compactness, and respect for communities of interest. It's designed to keep political shenanigans out of the process. But here you are, waving around Proposition 50 like it's a get-out-of-jail-free card, proposing to engage in retaliatory redistricting against Texas because, what, they hurt your feelings? Please. This isn't a playground spat; it's the foundation of our democratic process.

Let's be real, Gavin. Your move is a textbook violation of Article XXI. You're not just flirting with the line; you're pole-vaulting over it. The CRC's independence is sacrosanct, and your attempt to bypass it for political revenge is an affront to the very voters who entrusted you with office. The constitution doesn't say, "Except when you're mad at Texas." It doesn't work that way.

Now, let's talk about the courts, because they're going to have a field day with this. The California Supreme Court, which has already swatted away your GOP detractors once, is going to look at this and say, "Hold up, Newsom, what are you doing?" They're going to scrutinize whether Proposition 50 respects the CRC's role or if it's a naked power grab. And guess what? It's the latter. The courts will likely find that your retaliatory redistricting undermines the constitutional mandate for an independent commission, potentially violating the separation of powers and the intent of the voters who approved the CRC in 2008.

But wait, there's more! If you persist down this path, and the California courts don't slap you down hard enough, guess who's next? That's right, the U.S. Supreme Court. SCOTUS could get involved if this becomes a federal issue, especially if it affects congressional districts and voting rights. They'll look at whether your actions comply with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment or the Voting Rights Act. Spoiler alert: they won't. Your retaliatory redistricting could be seen as a partisan gerrymander on steroids, and SCOTUS has a history of striking down such shenanigans, even if they're cloaked in the guise of "democracy's best bet."

So, Governor, here's the humiliating reality: you're not just risking a legal defeat; you're risking your legacy. The courts will respond with a resounding "no," and if you keep pushing, SCOTUS might just remind you that the Constitution isn't a suggestion box for your political vendettas. Maybe take a step back, reconsider, and let the CRC do its job. Or, you know, keep digging that hole. Your choice.

@EnforcerTruth @Jessica91082 @joyce5591805 @MAGAVoice Clearly not, because I am responding to her comment on gas prices across a small number of counties in SOUTH CAROLINA, not commenting on the general state of affairs for domestic ethanol taxation at the state level.

[Mallory @_malmoore]

@Jessica91082 @joyce5591805 @MAGAVoice Stations that do more convenience business tend to have lower prices than stations that rely on gas/diesel sales. Lower prices per gallon are likely in areas with higher population density and are doing more business per capita on both energy and food/drink/etc sales.

America has the highest legal and illegal immigration, per year, in the world.

People want to live here more than anywhere else.

If the law for entering America is optional, then every other law becomes optional too.

And then we lose the reason why people want to live here.

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
