Dear Jimmy Kimmel, listen to me very closely.

I’m a comedian. I’ve made fun of Jill Biden. I’ve made fun of Michelle Obama. I’ve roasted First Ladies before.

But I have never in my life joked about Jill Biden becoming a widow or Michelle Obama becoming a widow.

I’ve never joked about Joe Biden or Barack Obama having an attempt made on their life. I’ve never laughed at the thought of their wives standing there in fear, wondering if their husbands are going to make it home alive.

Because that is not comedy.

That is sick.

You could have joked about Melania being married to Trump. You could have joked about politics. You could have even gone after her accent like liberals usually do.

But no — you chose to joke about Melania Trump becoming a widow.

And let’s be honest, Jimmy: when you hate Donald Trump as much as you do, that doesn’t sound like a joke.

It sounds like how you really feel.

They always say there is truth in comedy.

America, we are running out of warnings. This is the fourth time we’ve seen people act on what they’ve been TAUGHT by the media and half of our leaders since 2024.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner attacker wasn’t born this way. He was radicalized, step by step, post by post, protest after protest. He soaked in the constant insistence that everyone who disagrees with him is an evil, fascist, Nazi traitor, and an existential threat to his life. Over time, he began to believe that murder was moral.

His family saw it. They tried to stop it. How many other radicalized young men are out there right now?

Call this what it is: Domestic terrorism born of ideological hatred. The next time, we might not be so lucky and the price for the Republic – for each of our families – will be unbearable.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

Norah O’Donnell may have reached the low point in disgusting and inhumane demagoguery disguised as journalism. The idea that you would take the vicious dishonest and disgusting words of a woukld be killer who had been blocked b y the Secret Service but would otherwise have killed a lot of people and you would dignify them by putting them on the air and asking the President of the United States to comment is about as destructive as anything a major reporter has done in a long time. She should be fired for demeaning her entire profession and being the mouthpiece of a would be killer.

This afternoon in the Canadian House of Commons, I presented my annual 60-second statement for World Autism Month. I hope you’ll take just a minute to watch and share.

Here’s the text:

“April is World Autism Month, and now 28 years since my son, Jaden, was diagnosed. Today, Jaden’s 30 and an enthusiastic extrovert, but back then he seemed almost completely stuck in his own world. Our instinct at the time was to try to help him by pulling him into our world. And it did help.

I’ve since gravitated to a slightly different approach. These days, I spend more time in Jaden’s world – getting down close to him, looking at what he's looking at, tuning into what holds his attention in the moment.

When I intentionally pause, put the phone away, and just sit still with Jaden, I experience things I normally miss – the sense of wonder gazing out a train window, the value of non-verbal communication, or the strength of connection through physical contact - a hug, a tussle, a tickle, or Jaden’s famous high-five.

We too often default to defining people like Jaden by the help they need. But, in my experience, I’ve learned many of the most important things in my life from him.

Jaden has helped me, I hope, to be a better person than I’d have been without him. And for that, I am truly thankful.”

@assistance82730 It wasn't my case. It was @JimBreuer who had the incident.

Ppl all over TikTok from Alabama, Virginia & others States are complaining abt astronomical electric bills. Triple or more than the normal amount. Elderly & disabled cannot afford this. It makes no sense. Power company CEOs are making millions. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @JDVance

@FCC I hope you will investigate & taken action against the @NFL & the half time entertainers who used foul language in Spanish. The performances should have had English subtitles/captions.
