Flotsam and Jetsam - Kirk Still Dead, Kimmel is Back Sort Of, Trump RFK Claim Acetaminophen Linked to Autism

Tim O'Brian at PJM thinks he knows The Most Misinterpreted Part of Trump’s Eulogy to Charlie Kirk. Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie, "'He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them.' Powerful eulogy by a man completely devoid of shame and honor." Scotty B@bitzsc, "He's saying Charlie was a better man than him... Read the room!" From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 09.22.25,  EBL, MAGA: Charlie Kirk Memorial, Louder With Crowder: Student Suspended After Wearing MAGA Hat and Getting Into Dispute at School, Ilhan Omar makes sickening comments about Charlie Kirk days after his murder, and her audience’s reaction is worse, Twitchy , The Most Poorly-Aged TikTok Video Prediction You’ll Ever See. Gabe Guidarini @GabeGuidarini, "The Turning Point apparatus has just orchestrated its largest ever event (which would usually take 9 months of preparation) in seven days. This is political organizing on steroids. Nothing like this has ever been seen before." Insty at his substack, Oft Evil Will Shall Evil Mar, "Charlie Kirk's Assassination and a New Great Awakening." At Hat Hair Mark Judge riffs on Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Memory Police RBe @RBPundit, "These kinds of lies got Charlie Kirk killed. They know it. They don’t plan on stopping." Quote Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP, "Incredible. The widow forgave her husband's killer, ffs." Jon Gabriel @exjon, "Stop shooting people and you won't need to see another one." Quote David Pakman @dpakman, "The Charlie Kirk funeral is absolutely disgusting, riddled with speeches that only dial up the temperature. Stephen Miller's was particularly vile." Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando, "Remember when a Black Lives Matter activist ambushed and killed five police officers in Dallas, and then Obama flew down to the memorial ceremony to call all the cops racists DURING THE MEMORIAL CEREMONY?!" Quote, Renee Only Renee Yep @ReneeLibby95084, "What kind of f*cking "President" gets up at a memorial service and says he HATES half the country?" Althouse has a quartet, "My husband Charlie — he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life.... That young man — I forgive him," ""I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do.", "The world needs... young people pointed in the direction of truth and beauty," "Said Erika Kirk in her speech at the memorial to her husband yesterday.", "The fact that Kirk was killed while he was answering a question about the purported prevalence of trans mass shooters (a fiction he had helped promulgate)..." Writes M. Gessen in "This Is the Feeling of Losing a Country. I Know It Well" (NYT), and "Please. Stop now. Stop printing articles about him. Stop helping Trump & the gop turn him into a martyr for their cause." "Two weeks of coverage for a right wing provocateur known for his anti-LGBTQI, bigoted, anti-feminist, & pro-Christian nation rhetoric is beyond enough." "Charlie's approach was to engage his adversaries in endless, ongoing conversation — more and more speech. The commenter insists on an end to speech. That too is speech — saying you want an end to the speech on a topic you don't want to have to speak about. It has an eloquent implication: The listener may assume you don't have a powerful contradiction." Byron York at WaEx sees CONFLICT IN AFTERMATH OF KIRK KILLING. There are two epic battles going on in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One is the battle to define Kirk. The other is the battle to define his killer. Roger Kimball at Am Great asks Was Kirk ‘Divisive’—or Did He Simply Say What Millions Believe?

From Twitchy, USDA Atty. Ashley Jamieson Fired for Cheering Charlie Kirk's Death, Not Her Pity Party Excuses. From the College Fix, UF law professor’s emeritus status yanked over post about Trump, Charlie Kirk. Fox, Rep Jasmine Crockett slams White lawmakers who voted to honor Charlie Kirk. "Texas Democrat cites personal criticism from Charlie Kirk as factor in opposing House resolution." Ace, Jasmine Ratchet: We Wanted the White Devils to Join Us in Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Death But Only Two White Devils Joined Us and That "Hurts My Heart" as a Proud Racist Black Woman "This Racial Healing Officer is calling out The White Devil Man for not supporting her in dancing on Charlie Kirk's grave. Who was another White Devil Man. There's so much racial healing going on I can't keep up with it all." A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2niteSep 21, "I’ve sat through over 50 hours of Charlie Kirk’s videos as an ethnically Black American. Not one racist word. Not 1. What Democrats do is cut snippets, strip context, and shove sound bites at the same gullible slob audience too lazy to fact-check. That isn’t exposing racism .. it’s manufacturing lies to spark division." At Bearing Arms, Cam worries Is This What Gun Controllers Will Push After Kirk's Assassination? “I am definitely not a ‘more government’ type of person, but as someone who takes firearms safety seriously and has worked with firearms for 30 years through the Marine Corps, NYPD and now as an armed guard for a Long Island school district, I do feel there has to be accountability to these older and unserialized firearms,” Greco said. “A vintage firearm in grandpa’s old trunk is cool,” he added, “but it also unfortunately gives access to a firearm to someone who may otherwise have not had access or could have been denied access.” Shooting News Weekly stifles a conspiracy theory, No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Shot With a .380 ACP ‘Cell Phone Gun’.

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP, New: ABC to Bring Back Kimmel; Mamdani Boycotts ABC Debate. At Althouse, "Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday.", "Variety reports. Good! Glad to hear it. Un-martyr the man and put him back in the position that fits him, an ordinary host of a old-fashioned late-night show who might occasionally say something in slightly poor taste." Da Mail, Insiders reveal the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is returning and the secret monologue plan that could spark mutiny. 'We won't know what he's doing to say to address it, they're going to keep that secret, but I can tell you he's not going to roll over and just take it.' Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando, "Outstanding. Disney deserves to be chained to this unfunny ratings-hemorrhaging prick forever after what they did to Star Wars and Indiana Jones." Quote, NBC News @NBCNews, "BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show will return to ABC's airwaves on Tuesday, the Walt Disney Company says."

Anibal "Al" Hernandez Santana told a Jimmy-Kimmel-level "joke" celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder" and ABC, Which Just Got Shot Up by a Bitter Left-Wing Extremist, Agrees to Bring Back Unfunny Sack of Fat Jimmy Kimmel After, Get This, "Thoughtful Conversations." "LOL. Right." Mark Hemingway @Heminator, "So to be clear, leftists' threats -- which included actual gun violence -- censored ABC stations. That's much worse than what Carr did, and it will garner ZERO coverage from the same insincere free speech warriors on the left that spent the last week screaming." Quote, "The Post Millennial @TPostMillennial, "BREAKING: Sinclair canceled airing tribute to Charlie Kirk after ABC stations got violent threats: " Bonchie at RedState, ABC Affiliate Stations Push Back in the Face of the Network's Cowardice on Kimmel Sinclair, Inc. @WeAreSinclair, "Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return." Capt. Ed, BREAKING: Sinclair Refuses to Air Kimmel. George MF Washington @GMFWashington, "Yes" Quote Bonchie @bonchieredstate "If Carr hadn’t run his mouth and set up an us vs. them narrative for Hollywood that became untenable for Disney, Kimmel would still be off the air. There’s a lesson there." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 09.22.25, Twitchy: Variety Has Video Of A “Big” Kimmel Fan Celebration, Vox Popoli, Disney Will Bring Kimmel Back,

At a news conference yesterday Trump announced a new Harvard study had linked acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism and that pregnant women should avoid its use. Liberals reacted as they always do, Trump said it, so it must be wrong. Althouse, Does Tylenol cause autism? There's an obvious and now unavoidable experiment that will answer the question. "Now, absolutely no one should take acetaminophen during pregnancy. Who would? Later, take note of whether the rate of autism declines. I'm seeing: "Scientists have reacted with dismay at the announcement [linking acetaminophen to autism], warning that the 'fearmongering' will prevent women from accessing pain relief during pregnancy" (in "Taking Tylenol in pregnancy linked to autism, Trump to claim/The president promises ‘one of the biggest medical announcements in US history’, claiming a discovery as to why the disorder developed and treatment" (London Times))." Ace, Trump Announces "Breakthrough" in Autism: Will Warn Women Not to Take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) During Pregnancy "Here's NPR to immediately dismiss the so-far unreleased study and declare that the link between Tylenol use during pregnancy is not "conclusively" proven yet." I'm sure plenty more will develop on this story in the days ahead.

Ace reports Trump Orders the Collection of $100,000 for Every New H-1B Visa and the Corporate Oligarch Left Melts Down "Oh no, American companies might be forced to train and employ actual American citizens. There are billion-dollar companies whose only service is applying for H-1B visas and then selling them to people looking for work. Many of these billion-dollar H-1B grifter companies are Indian. Currently, 71% of all H-1B applicants are Indian. 11.7% are Chinese." Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav, "Back before the USA was flooded with illegal aliens, it was common for Americans to have these jobs. Now with ICE deportation raids, it is coming back. “In one week I have seen in my city, black men power washing parking lots. Black men doing roofing work, black men doing lawn services around businesses. In my city, things are starting to look like the old days again.”

Matt Vespa at TownHall, New York Magazine Attacks Trump's DHS As a Police State Operation. Noem's Response Is Perfect. "Who cares?" And, The Media's Hit Piece on Tom Homan Evaporated Quickly. Here's Why. Leslie McAdoo Gordon @McAdooGordon, "These dipshit legal “experts” you quote, claiming Homan could have been charged w/conspiracy even while out of office, are evidently unaware that law enforcement officers can’t legally be part of a conspiracy, so actually, no, that couldn’t have been charged in this situation." Quote Carol Leonnig @CarolLeonnig, "A big @MSNBC scoop >>>> Trump border czar Tom Homan was under criminal investigation for potential bribery and claims he would steer fed contracts in new administration. Undercover @FBI agents recorded him accepting $50k in cash. Trump @TheJusticeDept shuttered the probe Me".

I know what the definition of Antifa is. There is no group!" "But what's dangerous is that by designating it, who's going to define who the group is?" "And if the Trump administration decides to say, 'You, George Soros, are a part of this group that I designated,' and you're like, 'No, I'm not,' and it doesn't matter." @DailyCaller" At the Capital Res Ctr an Exclusive: Soros’ Open Society gave $80 million to pro-terror groups.

But this is new." PJM's Matt Margolis hears The Democrats Just Got Devastating News About the 2026 Midterms "“At this particular point, the Democrats are the New Orleans Saints of political parties,” Enten quipped. “What are we talking about? Trust the Dems or GOP more on the economy. Who leads on the economy? Republicans by seven. Immigration? Republicans by 13. How about crime? A big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans. Look at that: Lead by 22 points.” That’s not a statistical blip—it’s a crushing advantage on all the top issues heading into the 2026 midterms."

"I must confess that this is a statute I have never seen charged before and was otherwise unaware of. The elements of the offense are pretty straight-forward in the context of the killing of Ms. Zarutska." At College Reform, Pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil must be deported, judge says. "A Louisiana immigration judge on Sept. 12 ordered that pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil be deported to Algeria or Syria, ruling that he 'willfully misrepresented material fact(s)' on his green card application."
