There does not seem to be a clear point or purpose in President Trump's address to military generals today. It's a garden variety tear; he's talking about tariffs, Joe Biden and the autopen, the southern border, CNN, his personal feelings about President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and his anxieties that he won't be given a Nobel Peace Prize he feels he deserves. These are things he talks about almost every day regardless of audience or setting.

It is an association Labour seems particularly keen to conjure in relation to the leader of Reform UK. Speaking at the party's conference in Liverpool, Keir Starmer said Labour offered an alternative to the division and decline under the snake-oil merchant Nigel Farage. The prime minister's chief secretary, Darren Jones, also described Farage as a snake-oil salesman, comparing him with the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate.

No, I'm not going to switch, Fetterman told her. He then said he will never turn to incendiary language, like some left-wingers have by comparing President Donald Trump and Republican voters in general to Nazis. If you want a Democrat that's going to call people Nazis or fascists or all these kinds of things, well, I'm not going to be that guy. Independent thinking and views wherever I happen to believe the truth [is], regardless if it's the Republican or the Democratic voice.

First of all, let me take on the first premise of your question, that it was President Trump's rhetoric that led to an assassin killing our friend Charlie Kirk. That's a blatant lie, said Kelly, before calling the suggestion defamatory and inappropriate in this setting. The argument continued: Student: That's not what I said. Kelly: Yes it is. Student: No, I said he contributed to the political atmosphere, the tension. Kelly: Well, then you have no point. Then your point is utterly empty.

The US President said: I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible terrible mayor, and it's been so changed, so changed. He then said: Now they want to go to sharia law, but you're in a different country. Trump's comments sparked instant backlash, with many pointing out the absurdity of his claim. A spokesperson for Khan, said: We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response.

I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest, and the reality is that we are living in a time in which this administration and this regime is not interested in making sure that people understand history, Crockett said. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language.

Look, Jimmy Kimmel has been canned. He has been suspended indefinitely. I think that it a fantastic thing, Cruz said at the start of the latest episode of his podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz. There were, however first amendment implications of the FCC's role, the senator, a Harvard Law School graduate who clerked for US supreme court chief justice William Rehnquist, added.

One can only imagine the motivations for a person doing a drive-by shooting to send an apparent message at Sacramento's ABC10, the same week that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air for comments about the Charlie Kirk shooting. We're living in some scarily gun-crazed times, and that now includes a random drive-by shooting incident outside Sacramento ABC affilliate ABC10.

Funny or not, these became the grounds for deciding which narratives were state doxa and which would fall under the umbrella of the "woke mind virus" or whatever term talking heads felt like using to dismiss thoughts that fell out of line. The thought must have been that these were brief detours on a moral arc that bends toward justice or that free speech and the circulation of ideas would ultimately be the disinfectant best suited for a nation dirtied by misinformation, propaganda and fake news.

Lake: How does a 22-year-old become so filled with hate? Five years earlier I was told he was a Trump supporter and we send our kids off to college and they brainwashed them. I am making a plea to mothers. Do not send your children into these indoctrination camps. Do not do it pic.twitter.com/DC0d1S7043- Acyn (@Acyn) September 15, 2025

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) sounded off to Fox News's Maria Bartiromo Sunday about the dangers of calling President Donald Trump Hitler despite the fact that Vice President J.D. Vance has used those very words. In 2016, Vance texted a friend, I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging? The text came to light as Vance ran for an Ohio Senate seat in 2022.

BILL MAHER: Yesterday the president weighed in on this. He said Violence and murder are tragic consequences of demonizing those you disagree with day after day, year after year. And that goes double for dogs fat pigs and terrible persons!. Today, they asked the president, what are you going to do to bring the country together? And he said, I know this is going to get me in trouble, but I could care less..

Politics definitely has a huge part in it. Trump and when I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don't necessarily mean he's to blame for it but he's so divisive, without even really his face is just divisive. Like, he just people hate him so much, Portnoy said. And the left and the right, the rhetoric especially to me the left is insane. And it just boils, boils, boils, boils. And this happened with Trump, when, his assassination attempt, there was like a three-hour period of let's tone down the rhetoric,' and then they're right back to it.

When did we become a country where it's okay for the U.S. president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, Pritzker said in a press conference. Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity that we treat this as normal?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) alluded to a viral rumor that President Donald Trump had died over Labor Day Weekend, telling a crowd at a festival on Monday that he understood why they were furiously checking their phones for news on the topic. But despite the rumor being untrue, he told fellow Democrats and leftists who were hoping for the president to croak not to worry, because that news will be true sooner or later.

Johnson, appearing on America's Newsroom on Fox News Friday, was asked by host Dana Perino if "there has to be some sort of accountability on the transgender front." The shooter, Robin Westman, who killed two children and wounded 18 (some sources say 17) people at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis Wednesday, has been reported to be transgender. Westman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.

It speaks volumes that Eric Adams would rather recycle Cold War insults than deal with the exhausting list of corruption and crises consuming his City Hall, Pekec said. While he's busy dodging indictments, delivering for his billionaire Trump donors, and holding a 30-year low approval rating, Zohran's focused on the issues that matter: making the most expensive city in the world more affordable and restoring trust in government.

In most of America's largest cities, crime, especially violent crime, is down. But the fear of crime is increasing. Donald Trump has made a career out of ignoring the reality of crime rates and of stoking that fear. Well before he entered politics and throughout his political career, he has talked about city life as life in a proverbial jungle.

The term 'tinderbox' has evolved into political shorthand for describing any situation supposedly on the brink of explosion, reflecting a growing narrative of social breakdown.

Since World War II, the United States has repeatedly supported governments committing mass atrocities, despite its officials' attempts to distance the U.S. from these actions.

"Pretty soon, this facility will handle the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet," said the president at the opening of the detention center.

John Podhoretz, inheriting a neoconservative worldview, has continued a legacy of blunt and crude presentations of ideas that often self-discredit, reflecting familial patterns.

Vladimir Solovyov stated that war is inevitable between Russia and NATO, claiming that European leaders such as Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are satanists who oppose Christianity.
