Well, that didn’t last long. Gavin Newsom says disparaging remarks on Kimmel’s first day back — but not on Kimmel’s show — and the next morning a detainee is killed during a stochastic attack on Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, sympathy came from both sides, then the left started being vitriolic again, and someone else was killed by a left-wing fanatic. This time, he was not the intended target but was collateral damage.

Something is different about the two sides.

Which side cheers when crimes are committed, as happened with all the violence that I listed in my previous comment (September 19th)? Which side complains when laws are enforced, as happened when the District of Columbia was cleaned of most crime, last month? Which side prosecutes or accuses people who have committed no crime, as happened to President Trump and to General Micheal Flynn? Which side does not prosecute criminals, such as those who shoplift less than $900, or otherwise uses “prosecutorial discretion” to let criminals get away with their crimes, such as the multiple-felon Hillary Clinton? Which side uses cashless bail to let career criminals stay on the streets and committing more crimes?

One side is lawless, the other is lawful. When the left calls the right evil, then leftists do evil things to the right. When the right calls the left evil, then nothing happens to the left. So, really, it is only the left side that should not be calling the right side evil, because the right side is not as evil as the left side. Maybe even not evil at all.

Stochastic violence is fomented by influencing impressionable people. Making broad statements that advocate violence and statements that point out targets give those impressionable people actions to take against specified people. Is there any surprise that violence happens against them?

A problem cannot be solved until the problem is identified. That is why “root cause” is the goal of failure investigations in the aerospace industry. It is not enough to find the proximal cause (Kirk was shot by someone who thought he was a threat to the murderer’s transitioning boyfriend/Trump was almost assassinated — twice — and was fake-impeached — twice — and was fake-prosecuted — thrice (or more)/someone goes to DC to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice), but the root cause must be identified (leftists called right wing people “racist,” “transphobic,” and “literally Hitler”/someone calls for Supreme Court Justices to “reap the Whirlwind”) in order to fix it in order to avoid a host of similar proximal causes. Recent history has shown that it was likely that the root cause would result in the action. How evil was it to continue to disparage and slander Kirk? And Trump?

Stochastic violence has other collateral damages. For instance, universities now require right-wing speakers to pay for extra security for speaking engagements on campus, but left-wing speakers have no such requirement. The fear of stochastic violence has affected free speech Rights for the right side but not for the left.

True dat!

And now that the political power tide has turned all of a sudden, the corporate overlords are concerned about balanced noncontroversial political commentary and presentation? (Corporate media overlords have previously fired both Bill Mahre and Rosann from their shows for controversial things that they have said).

The Liberal and Leftist corporate overlords tried to divide the country in order that the “progressive” anti-American agenda could take real hold, and they were and have been very successful over time.

The Left (Democrats and RINO’s) move the ball further and further in their political power favor and then they sit and wait for their next opportunity to move the ball.

Nothing new under the sun here.

Eventually they will prevail through the particular group mind conditioning of the young in our culture that they specialize in seamlessly I.E. the CCP Chinese Sun Tzu mindset that they are working to essentially deliver to them?

Or, they foster such a division in the country that there must be blood to settle the direction that the country will progress?

Either way over time they win?

Stay tuned.

Political warfare is warfare.

They spent huge amounts of money on these shows even when they proved to never make a dime for the networks.
They at least used the shows as money losses for tax purposes.

If every show cost the network 50 million( just an example) a year. Over the last 20 years the big three could have given the left advertising and promotions equaling 3 billion dollars or more.
Without that support could the left have ever risen to the prominence and power it has today?

Those same networks also canceled right leaning shows even as the shows were showing profits.

Fox’s Tyrus is non-religious, and didn’t always agree with Kirk.

Such is GUTFELD ‘s respect for speech. Colbert got some flak for having GUTFELD on as a guest–so give him that much at least. Colbert is pro-space and did voices for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Fallon and Kimmel are just…there on stage.

The ugliest thing Bill Maher did in recent years was mock Jimmy, who was in tears after the passing of Don Rickles, a friend. Kimmel knows that folks like him and Newhart are his betters. He also dated Sarah Silverman…a screamer. Poor Jimmy.

Seth needs to not be a punk.

Also, I don’t think Kimmel pointing out the murderer is from a conservative background is slander. It’s fact, as his grandmother was quoted. I’m not sure why people have become so enraged by that.

Mike A. I am not pointing you out as a lefty. I am just using your comment as an example.

Kimmel did not point out he came from a conservative background. He directly stated that he was a right leaning conservative.

The lefts argument that the murderer was a conservative is wrong. Its an attempt to distance themselves from him. To push him away from them.
The fact is, he is gay and in a relationship with a transgender man..
Trying to claim he must have been a conservative because he came from a conservative household is wrong. Why not just claim homosexuals can’t exist because they ALL come from heterosexual people. and families.
The fact that its becoming a wide spread argument among the left is proof they have been told to spread the false narrative. Who gave them that idea who told them that?

WHATS WRONG WITH DEMOCRAT PARTY POLITICIANS?

When is an essential foundational philosophical must have demand for being inclusive in politics excluded from being inclusive?

When you are a Democrat presidential candidate and you reject who you believe to be the best person for your vice-presidential slot and the country, BECAUSE THEY ARE GAY!?

Did I read that correctly?

“Ex-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has responded to comments from former Vice President Kamala Harris, who admitted in her upcoming memoir that he was her first choice as running mate for the 2024 election — but wasn’t selected since he’s gay.”

Pete Buttigieg Responds To Kamala Harris Confession He Wasn’t VP Pick Since He’s Gay

“Former Vice President Kamala Harris says that her first choice for running mate was her longtime friend Pete Buttigieg. However, Kamala Harris writes honestly in her soon-to-be-released book, 107 Days, that she was afraid the ticket would be “too big of a risk” for voters to accept.”

What is one of the many, many issues that disqualify those aspirational politicians within the Democrat party and the radical “progressive” movement from ever attaining local and national political leadership positions? The people of America understand that they are not genuine and really do not care about Americans.

The Democrats are just in the game to win at any cost to others, attain absolute political power and control through force if necessary, and the direction of the country is none of their concern as long as it is further Left and plunged into Socialism.

How many times have you heard the Democrats drone on and on about the bias of the “Nazi” like Right and the need to accept gay people? Trans people? Accept and empower every kind of permutation of human being including those who identify as “Furries”. Except when you as a presidential candidate reject a gay person who you actually believe to be qualified and the best choice…………but THEY ARE GAY!

You just cannot make up the absolute ridiculousness of what the Democrats in power within the party promote and philosophically demand of others and then totally reject their own declared mandates when it comes to them.

In time the truth comes out, and at that moment you realize what politics is about and you are disgusted and disillusioned. And that is a good thing.

And NEITHER Kamala or Pete will ever become president to boot because they are both not genuine and absolute tools of the Democrat party machine and not the people of America.

The Democrat party is rudderless, leaderless and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Are You Paying Attention Yet America? JGL 9/19/25

Edward: Brilliantly said. I wish I had written it.

If you were paying attention, then you would have realized that after a bunch of Republicans practicing for a baseball game, sympathy came from both sides and everyone agreed to be less volatile with their words, then the left started being vitriolic again. Then after Senator Rand Paul was beat up by a neighbor, sympathy came from both sides and everyone agreed to be less volatile with their words, then the left started being vitriolic again (one time on the steps of the Supreme Court building). Then after someone was arrested for intent to murder a Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice, sympathy came from both sides and everyone agreed to be less volatile with their words, then the left started being vitriolic again. Then after Trump was almost assassinated, sympathy came from both sides and everyone agreed to be less volatile with their words, then the left started being vitriolic again. Then after Trump was almost assassinated again, sympathy came from both sides and everyone agreed to be less volatile with their words, then the left started being vitriolic again. Then after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, sympathy came from both sides and the left is being vitriolic.

Fortunately there is no discernible pattern here, otherwise we might conclude that leftists, including and especially Democrats, cry crocodile tears and say things that they don’t mean and don’t intend to abide.

The left has declared that their violence is free speech, which explains why they are so violent and why they advocate violence, and why Kamala Harris was paying bail for arrested violent leftists. The left also claims that anyone else’s speech is violence, so they are just returning violence with calming “speech” that only looks like violence but is in actuality “mostly peaceful protest.” The pattern continues.

Next time, we will hear all the same things that we always hear, and that is why the pattern continues.

Different times–to steal a line from TNG’s Riker–things are “wrapped up so tight there’s no joy in anything.”

What’s Dennis Miller doing? It’s been a minute.

BLSinSC: This is a warning. You are skirting the line of breaking my two basic rules for commenting, obscenities and insult. If you don’t have anything constructive to say, than keep quiet. Coming here similar to imply curses while spewing out insults accomplishes nothing.

Do this again and I’ll ban you for a week.

Affiliate groups like Nextstar and Sinclair, own individual broadcast TV stations that have FFC licenses. Those licenses are placed at risk when network programming goes overboard, and the terms of their contracts get violated. Nextstar and Sinclair don’t want to pay for programming their audiences won’t watch and jeopardizes their licenses.
In case nobody was paying attention, the 2 major media conglomerates were bought out in the last 2-3 years, and those mergers are now in the completion & finalization stage in 2025. The new owners don’t want to continue with losing shows with zero ratings that alienate half the population.

Jay Leno Took $15M Pay Cut To Save His Crew
Adam Carolla Show w/ Jay Leno (December 2021)
https://youtu.be/PJAsz6VCf5A
4:42

“Jay Leno sits down with Adam Carolla for a tearjerker interview. You’ll love Jay even more after hearing this story. At the height of his time hosting NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” Jay Leno reportedly earned a $30 million salary. But in 2012, he took a 50% pay cut — bringing his salary down to about $15 million, to avoid laying off some of his crew and to pay his staff better. Jay also confirms the rumor that to this day he still hasn’t spent a penny of his Tonight Show earnings.”

“What would Carson do?”

Alas.

It’s not just for supporting of slanderous, damaging rhetoric. It’s also for the property and social damage. There’s years of it gone unpunished. Communities ruined, local lives of strangers damaged by interlopers of BLM/anti-first amendment (antifa) and others.

So YES, Kimmel DID lose his job because of government actions and threats thereof.

Second, is a technological shift. The advent of ubiquitous broadband Internet allowed the creation of social networking sites, sites that support posting of “homemade” video content of all sorts, and on-demand streaming services. These are the chosen media of most Millennials and Zoomers. The consumption of conventional broadcast media – that operate on a schedule – has declined pretty much across the board in these demographics or had never been there at all in many cases. Traditional scheduled network TV is now watched mainly by we old-crock Boomers and we are dying off. As we do, scheduled TV will die along with us. Heck, I’m old enough to remember when neither CBS nor ABC had any programming after 11 PM. NBC invented “late night” with the Tonight Show in the 50s and had the place all to itself for a couple of decades. But just as late night chat/variety shows expanded, they will now recede. Evening network news shows will likely soon be on the chopping block for the same reason – too few remaining viewers to cover the considerable costs and way too few “in the demo” as the saying in the industry goes.

A third axis of decline is simply the degeneration, over time, of the show hosts in late night network TV. Leno maintained a consistent level of quality during his entire run as had Carson before him. Another who did the same was Craig Ferguson. But Letterman – brilliant in his early days – was pretty much just phoning it in during his last decade. Fallon, Corden and even Kimmel were also very good early on but degenerated as they got more overtly political. Colbert and Myers, of course, were leftist cretins from the get-go.

And so we have arrived at a point where the best-rated late night show is now Greg Gutfeld’s on Fox. And even he has only a fraction of the audience that watched late night shows two decades or more ago. So it goes.

Except that Kimmel has not been censored. In fact, it was easy to suspend his show indefinitely for the same reason you stated: nobody watched it. There is no irony to be had, here.

“Also, I don’t think Kimmel pointing out the murderer is from a conservative background is slander.”

Ah, but that is not what Kimmel said. Had you read (or understood) Robert’s summary of what happened, you would have known that. Since you don’t watch Kimmel, you have formed your poor opinions from sources that have lied to you.

Soooo, lies are cool as long as they support your viewpoints?

“No sane person advocates for murder.”

Another good reason for those cheering Kirk’s murder to lose their jobs, if they are as insane as you say. Insanity has its consequences, and the insane are not good for society. Either they must be cured or separated from the rest of us, for everyone’s safety.

“I’m not sure why people have become so enraged by that.”

People have not become enraged by the lie you heard. They have become enraged that so many of what you call the insane have cheered the murderer (to the point of naming legislation after him) of a pharmaceutical executive and expressed sorrow that Trump was not assassinated, and that these actions caused this young man to feel that it was acceptable to murder someone of similar political leaning. They are enraged that so many of the left-leaning people of this country express these advocacies of murder. They are enraged that so many of the left-leaning people of this country advocated for riots in which dozens were killed and hundreds were injured, and that Kamala Harris, before she was vice-president, was funding bail for the rioters, and that others were advocating for the riots to continue. These people advocated for violence and continued murder.

And here you are, defending the people you say are not sane.

I see it a little differently. I don’t think it is as political as many people assume. With all these shootings this may be a response to early warning signs. If you act like you support murder, how can we trust that you won’t murder your fellow employees. If one of these people did murder any fellow employee, then wouldn’t the employer be subject to lawsuits for ignoring these early warning signs?

Kimmel did not seem so joyous or potentially murderous, but when he would not apologize or correct his slander he angered enough of his audience to make him even less popular than he was two weeks ago, when his show was losing money. Even the women of The View are willing to correct their errors.
____________
A side comment on these late night shows: I liked Johnny Carson, as he was funny, performed hilarious skits, and was a fabulous interviewer. David Letterman was none of these. I was disappointed with Jay Leno when he capitulated to network demands to be more like Letterman rather than like Carson. I also liked Greg Kinnear and was disappointed when he gave up his brief stint hosting a late night show in favor of movie acting. I finally got over that disappointment a couple of years ago, but only because his continuing acting talent is fresh in my memory and his late night show is not. After the loss of Kinnear, I gave up on late night television.

But Kimmel went over the line … he exploited a murder to smear his political opponents as murderous, and – like so many others – mocked the murdered man … while others celebrated the murder as justified.

Mike a, the people you are now seeing “cancelled”, and not just in the media, exhibited an abject lack of respect for the life and liberty of a fellow citizen in their celebration and mockery. Taking a look as these people, they are by-and-large in positions of trust and influence – media figures, educators, medical professionals, customer-facing business personnel, and at least one or two involved in the restaurant business. That lack of respect undermines our ability to trust them to do right by us in the performance of their duties.

When I’m going in for a colonoscopy, I don’t want anyone in the room – especially a gastroenterologist or anesthesiologist – who hates my guts and would celebrate my death.

(I have not watched one second of any of the recent late night shows. Late night died when Letterman quit.)

Also, I don’t think Kimmel pointing out the murderer is from a conservative background is slander. It’s fact, as his grandmother was quoted. I’m not sure why people have become so enraged by that.

To end on optimism, I am reassured by the outpouring of sympathy and support extended to Mr Kirk’s family. If you’re paying attention, that IS coming from both sides of the political spectrum.
No sane person advocates for murder. Period. Full stop.

Look for the Geoff Soros funded book deals any day now.

Just imagine being the ghost writer for the likes of Kimmel. Yuck.

Its starting to prove out that all left leaning business models are pretty much failures without support from the right.

Mike a: If you choose not to carefully read what I wrote, that’s your problem. I very carefully outlined what made this different very fundamentally from the blacklisting the left has engaged in for the past decade.

Kimmel committed outright slander while spreading what he knew was an outright lie. That makes him unqualified to have the kind of soapbox he had on ABC.

It is also so completely different than the kinds of things the left has been censoring people for since Obama’s term that it laughable you can’t see the difference.

Kimmel will certainly find another job at some leftwing propaganda outfit. Whether anyone decent will want to watch him is another story.
