Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
It's taken me a while, but I've finally caught up with both this and the other thread. Someone, maybe in the other, watched a detailed analysis of the shooting (zoomed in) conducted by some kind of expert. I didn't watch it because I couldn't watch it from a queasy stomach standpoint, so I'll have to take that poster's word for it. Anyway, that poster is absolutely convinced Kirk was wearing titanium armor plating, which the bullet struck the edge of, ricocheted up into, and out of his neck. This brings up two obvious questions: 1) Why was he wearing armor? and 2) When did he start wearing armor? Yes, he (rightly) felt a threat. Had he been attacked before? Had he been receiving threats? From whom? We certainly know by now about the Groyper Wars. Did one of them ever physically threaten him before? Did Kirk's use of body armor coincide with those "wars?" Was he ever consistently harassed by other groups or individuals? If so, by whom? Has there been any other reporting on this? Well, shit, I had a lot more than just two questions.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
I'm happy to provide you with some direct quotes from Charlie Kirk. What are your opinions on each of these statements? āIf I see a Black pilot, Iām gonna be like, āBoy, I hope heās qualified.āā āThey're coming out, and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." āWe made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.ā āYou might want to crack open that Bible of yours. In a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture, is in Leviticus 18 is that, āthou shalt lay with another man shall be stoned to death.ā Just sayinā! So Miss Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19⦠the chapter before affirms Godās perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.ā āItās worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.ā āJewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now itās coming for Jews, and they're like, āWhat on Earth happened?ā And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it.ā āMLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.ā

You're right. That Clarksville newspaper article isn't the full story. Here's the original Xitter post: https://xcancel.com/DripChud/status/1965924660236923329#m First, notice the date. It was posted on September 10, last Wednesday, the day that Kirk was murdered, and I have to assume the screenshot was taken on that date. Unfortunately, I cannot find Darren V Michael's Facebook page where this was supposedly posted. I did find his Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/darrenvmichael/), and that post doesn't show there. So now, second, notice the "6d" under Darren V Michael's name. What does that tell you? Well, it tells you that Darren V Michael posted that meme 6 DAYS BEFORE Kirk was murdered, and so therefore, it wasn't in reference to Charlie Kirk. Folks, take a moment to scroll through @DripChud's Xitter account (https://xcancel.com/DripChud), and tell me what you see. If you prefer to give traffic clicks to a website that promotes actual fucking Nazis, you can also visit the original https://x.com/dripchud?lang=en.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/climate/epa-emissions-data-collection-halt.html The Environmental Protection Agency moved on Friday to stop requiring thousands of polluting facilities to report the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gases that they release into the air. The E.P.A. proposal would end requirements for thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities across the country. The government has been collecting this data since 2010 and it is a key tool to track carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that are driving climate change. The Friday announcement comes as the Trump administration has systematically erased mentions of climate change from government websites while slashing federal funding for research on global warming. āAlongside President Trump, E.P.A. continues to live up to the promise of unleashing energy dominance that powers the American dream,ā Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, said in a statement. āThe Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape.ā Mr. Zeldin said that ending the program would save American businesses up to $2.4 billion in compliance costs. The New York Times could not independently verify that claim; representatives for E.P.A. did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Critics said the proposal could hobble federal efforts to fight climate change, since the government cannot reduce emissions if it cannot measure how much is generated and where it is produced. āWith this move, theyāre taking away the practical and material capacity of the federal government to do the basic elements of climate policymaking,ā said Joseph Goffman, who led the E.P.A.ās air office during the Biden administration. For the past 15 years, the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program has collected data from about 8,000 of the countryās largest industrial facilities. That data has helped guide numerous decisions on federal policy and has been shared with the United Nations, which has required developed countries to submit tallies of their emissions. In addition, private companies often rely on the programās data to demonstrate to investors that their efforts to cut emissions are working. And communities often use it to determine whether local facilities are releasing air pollution that threatens public health. The E.P.A. proposal would not directly eliminate emissions reporting requirements for certain oil and gas facilities such as pipelines that transport natural gas. Thatās because those reports were required by Congress as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Instead, the E.P.A. wants to allow those specific oil and gas facilities to postpone emissions reporting until 2034. Congressional Republicans already delayed a related requirement for the facilities to pay a fee on their methane emissions until 2034. Representatives for oil and gas industry trade and lobbying groups, including the American Petroleum Institute, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The proposal follows a rapid-fire series of steps by the Trump administration to weaken or dismantle environmental protections. In July, the E.P.A. moved to repeal the scientific finding that underpins the governmentās legal authority to combat climate change. And in recent weeks, the White House has directed a half-dozen agencies to thwart the countryās offshore wind industry, a key source of emissions-free electricity. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, the United Nations has required all developed countries to provide data on their domestic emissions each year. But the United States missed an April deadline to submit its data, and Mr. Trump began the yearlong process of withdrawing from the Paris pact on his first day back in office.- Thread of good things in the world today

I see it as a turning point, too, in making American politics that much dumber and uglier. FOX News didn't yet seem to have a whole lot of sway at the time or even leading up to it, but that channel really took off in the aftermath with all its plastic patriotism and sloganeering. It was a real catalyst for mainstreaming Christian nationalism and revved up the hate engine.- Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]
