The past few weeks have been chock-full of newsworthy events, mostly mangled or ignored by the legacy media. Here are a couple of opinions by guest authors.
First, from my friend Cynical Publius:
Dear Democrats:
I know you are confused right now. I know you are struggling to comprehend what is happening. I am happy to explain it to you.
You see, for decades you have persecuted us for holding conventionally American conservative beliefs. You insulted us. You called us “Nazis.” You forcibly silenced us in conventional media and social media. You made us scared to speak our beliefs lest we lose our jobs or our friends and families. You de-banked us. You jailed conservative meme makers for free speech.
You tried to steal our children in the public schools. You made us sit at our jobs and silently listen to some HR Karen telling us we were all inherently racist, sexist and evil. You pursued our political leaders with illegitimate lawfare right out of some mid-20th Century fascist state.
You badgered us at the Thanksgiving table. You made us feel unwelcome in our own country and in our own homes.
We tried turning the other cheek. We tried reasoning with you. We tried standing on principle. We told you that if we finally decided to do to you what you did to us, that you would not like it. Then your rhetoric got Charlie killed.
Guess what? We have had enough, and we finally decided to do to you what you did to us. You need to be taught a painful lesson so the USA can be restored to a nation of freedom, justice and liberty. Do you understand now?
It’s for your own good. Love, Conservative America

Next, an opinion by Dr. Kevin Bass.
That Pam Bondi clip was so repulsive that it snapped me out of all of this. Like I was in a trance and that was the circuit-breaker. I’m now more pessimistic than I was just a week ago. I don’t have confidence that Charlie’s death will not be in vain. Hate speech laws, are you serious, like it’s 2018 and BLM and MeToo are a thing again except this time it’s about conservatives?
Like, Mommy Bondi is going to put America in a Giant Kindergarten? I actually hate her now. Not just think she’s doing a bad job as AG. But actively loathe her. She viscerally disgusts me as a person. American doesn’t want or need hate speech laws. It needs purges of the institutions, of universities and media, of radical leftists. It needs mass firings. It needs audits of the universities and purges of everyone producing fake work.
Then there needs to be purges of Blu*sky, Reddit, and Discord. Raids and purges and lots of people in jail if necessary. If I had it my way, we could not just deport visa holders but revoke citizenship and deport Americans. Lest people think this is extreme, let us recall that there are countless people who want us all dead. They are cheering for those who want to kill us and celebrating them.
There are still many more who are silent who also want us dead. I’ve come face to face with them personally. They’re very real. They’re everywhere. These are doctors, therapists, police officers, city council members, etc. And they occupy positions of authority in our institutions.
The solution? To make America into a Giant Kindergarten where the people who hate us can want us dead and will act on their hatred for us in all sorts of nefarious and underhanded ways, just so long as they do not actually say it. Hate speech laws! To deal with active visceral hatred felt everyday by our fellow citizens! It’s such an outrageously stupid and underwhelming and stupid idea.
The problem is not the speech! The problem is the active, visceral hatred they feel for us. In fact, I want to see their speech. I want to know that they hate me. And then I want them to be destroyed, not silenced. So I am going to focus on my startup and book again. I couldn’t be more discouraged. If our politicians are so awful, if we all had to be traumatized by that horrible video of Charlie Kirk’s death and then the insanely sick and gross reaction to it–which was radicalizing to me–and then see that the response is to turn America into a Giant Kindergarten under Pam Bondi where the people who hate us can keep discriminating against us…
Well then screw it I will focus on what I can do personally before we enter communism or someone slips me the wrong medication on purpose when I’m in the hospital or the next time someone recognizes me on the street and sneers at me and maybe pulls a weapon… In the meantime, I will remember Charlie and act on that personally in my own personal way even if Pam Bondi wants to use his memory to enact right-wing-coded leftist “hate speech laws”. I feel unbelievably sick with some of the people in charge of our country and how none of them seem to give a flying f*ck about any of us.
That Pam Bondi clip was so repulsive that it snapped me out of all of this. Like I was in a trance and that was the circuit-breaker. I'm now more pessimistic than I was just a week ago. I don't have confidence that Charlie's death will not be in vain.
And just a bit of Public Opinion from me. President Trump needs to fire his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. She is giving him very bad advice, and needs to be replaced by someone who can get him moving on the most important issues, like indicting all the scumbags who tried to derail his entire first term, and then this one. Next, he needs to fire Pam Bondi and put Robert Barnes in her place.
Thank you. Now, a few examples of Beauty, so you won’t go away angry.

I’m not a big fan of Bondi’s “hate speech” comments, but I’d say that on the list of most repulsive things that have happened over the past twenty years, it ranks pretty low. She can walk back silly comments, but what can’t be walked back are the government Covid reactions, the BLM riots, Antifa, Dementia Joe, assassination attempts on PDT, Iryna’s murder, Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the millions of people affected by Soros prosecutors, millions of illegal aliens who now have to be tracked down and deported while courts block everything the Administration does, voter fraud, etc.
I agree with you.
