That isn’t what happened.

ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September after Kimmel falsely claimed that Tyler Robinson, the man who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, was a MAGA supporter.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel claimed.

Friends and family https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/16/charlie-kirk-shooting-prosecutor-utah

Robinson as a radicalized leftist, and he also had a transgender roommate who is reportedly also his lover.

“I had enough of his hatred,” Robinson told his lover in a text message. “Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

Outrage over Kimmel’s remarks was significant, and local affiliates preempted the show amid backlash from conservative activists, advertisers, and station owners. His suspension had nothing to do with pressure from Trump or the federal government.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr https://nypost.com/2025/09/18/media/heres-the-real-reason-abc-suspended-jimmy-kimmel-live/

Kimmel's narrative directly. "Local TV stations said, 'I don't want to run this Kimmel stuff, and we're going to preempt it,'" Carr explained. "And that's a really important moment of local TV stations standing up for their viewers and pushing back against Comcast and Disney."

Kimmel referred to his reinstatement as a "September miracle," crediting the decision to "millions and millions of people" who objected to the suspension. "Because so many people spoke out, we came back," he said. He even presented his return to television as a personal and institutional victory over Trump’s efforts to muzzle criticism.

“And because so many people spoke out, we came back. Our show came back stronger than ever,” he claimed.

Stronger than ever? While he had an undeniable boost in ratings upon his return, hishttps://www.mediaite.com/media/jimmy-kimmels-post-suspension-ratings-boost-has-evaporated/

. Kimmel did recently sign a contract extension, but it was for one year, instead of the usual multi-year contract—a sign that ABC is merely postponing his inevitable cancellation and is merely hoping to minimize the fallout of doing so.

Despite this, Kimmel portrayed himself as the victor of a nonexistent battle with the government. “We won, the President lost, and now I'm back on the air every night giving the most powerful politician on Earth a right and richly deserved bollocking.”

Kimmel warned British viewers not to assume that government efforts to silence critics only happen in distant authoritarian states. "And the reason I'm telling you this story is because maybe you're thinking: 'Oh, a government silencing its critics is something that happens in places like Russia, or North Korea, or LA, not the UK,'" he said. "Well, that's what we've got King Donny the Eighth calling for executions. It happens fast."

The irony was thick. While Kimmel portrayed the United States as an authoritarian country and the UK as a beacon of freedom, it’s actually the UK that has pursued aggressive speech restrictions that would shock most Americans.

British authorities have arrested citizens for social media posts and even personal text messages. Roughly 30 peoplehttps://nypost.com/2025/08/19/world-news/uk-free-speech-struggle-30-arrests-a-day-censorship/

in the UK for posting “offensive” things online. Kimmel lectured about the dangers of government censorship to one of the West's most aggressive enforcers of speech codes, with police regularly investigating and prosecuting individuals for online commentary deemed offensive or threatening.

Kimmel's Christmas message painted a picture of American authoritarianism that exists primarily in his imagination. He transformed a corporate decision driven by advertiser pressure and affiliate rebellion into a grand narrative about government persecution, all while ignoring the actual threats to free expression happening in the UK.

https://modernity.news/2025/12/26/politico-claims-that-the-far-right-has-stolen-christmas-by-daring-to-call-it-christian/

A Christmas Eve screed from Politico has ignited online mockery, with the outlet claiming ‘far-right’ leaders are weaponizing the holiday by emphasizing its Christian origins amid secular pressures and immigration debates.

?itok=xRVYQL66

The article spotlights Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and others for framing Christmas as a “marker of Christian civilization” being under threat. It accuses far-right parties in Italy, France, Spain, and Germany of repurposing seasonal cheer into a culture war tool, positioning themselves against a “hostile, secular left.”

Roberts highlights Meloni’s defense of traditions, quoting her past remarks: “How can my culture offend you?” in reference to nativity scenes in public spaces. The piece notes Brothers of Italy’s lavish Christmas festival, complete with Santa and ice-skating, as a “spectacle” to rally supporters.

Far-right parties are claiming the festive season as their own, recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization that is under threat and positioning themselves as its last line of defense against a supposedly hostile, secular left. https://t.co/6QMMomhHHX

— POLITICOEurope (@POLITICOEurope) https://twitter.com/POLITICOEurope/status/2003760606768202105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

So called ‘experts’ like University of Surrey professor Daniele Albertazzi are cited, explaining how post-2010 Islamic terror attacks shifted the radical right to embrace “cultural Christianity” as an identity marker against perceived threats.

The piece notes how in Germany, the AfD warns of Christmas markets losing their “German character,” while in Italy, right-wing figures attack schools for scrubbing religious references from songs. Brothers of Italy MP Marta Schifone is quoted: “For us, traditions represent our roots, who we are, who we have been, and the history that made us what we are today. Those roots must be celebrated and absolutely defended.”

Politico claims those on the right are not really religious, but use Christianity as “civilizational shorthand” to draw boundaries, framing it as manipulative, while glossing over leftist efforts to neuter Christmas with “holiday season” jargon for “inclusivity.”

Online, the backlash was swift and savage, with users dismantling the premise that acknowledging Christmas’s Christian roots is some radical act.

We don’t hate the media enough.

Media have framed the following as far right: Working out, Christmas, having a big family, believing men can’t be women, traditional relationships, eating meat, opposing illegal immigration & more.

So normal = far right? Guess I’m far right.

This Politico flop underscores how legacy media twists normalcy into extremism to push leftist propaganda, diluting national identities under the guise of tolerance.

As Europe grapples with mass migration and cultural erosion, defending Christmas isn’t “far-right”—it’s common sense resistance to woke overreach.

In the end, attempts to secularize or shame Christian heritage only fuel the pushback.

report that said several billionaires, including Peter Thiel and Larry Page, are preparing to flee the state as a proposed one-time wealth tax ballot measure gains momentum.

California is on a path to self-destruction. Hollywood is already toast and now the most productive entrepreneurs will leave taking their tax revenues and job creation elsewhere.

And then the Democrats highlight https://twitter.com/CAgovernor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

A one-time wealth tax aimed at fewer than 300 billionaires in the state, backed by the left-wing and anti-Trump health care union Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, would tax California residents worth more than $1 billion at 5% of their assets, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026 (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/california-taxing-people-who-arent-there

).

S.E.I.U.-U.H.W. joined a "No Kings" rally against Trump earlier this year. What the union does not want you to know is that the rally was funded by https://www.zerohedge.com/political/coup-dflat-billionaire-funded-no-kings-color-revolution-turns-white-liberal-boomer-parade

. It was merely a propaganda scam from the start. In reality, the union functions as little more than a megaphone for the Democratic Party’s unhinged left-wing billionaire class that openly hates America and capitalism.

?itok=nxk8BDPS

In response, Page has discussed relocating by year-end and entities tied to him have incorporated in Florida. Thiel has explored expanding operations outside California and already maintains residency and voter registration in Florida, as well as additional international citizenships.

Here's more from NYT:

Billionaires, including Peter Thiel, the tech venture capitalist, and Larry Page, a co-founder of Google, are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state's wealthiest residents, according to five people familiar with their thinking.

Mr. Thiel, 58, who owns a home in the Hollywood Hills and operates a personal investment firm from Los Angeles, has explored opening an office for that firm, Thiel Capital, in another state and spending more time outside California, three of the people said.

Other billionaires who appear to be making moves to decrease their presence in California include Mr. Page, 52, a longtime resident of Palo Alto. He has discussed leaving the state by the end of the year, according to two people briefed on the talks. In mid-December, three limited liability companies associated with Mr. Page filed documents to incorporate in Florida, according to state records.

For the wealthiest Californians, this could mean multibillion-dollar tax bills. Page alone could face more than $12 billion in taxes.

The proposed wealth tax comes as the struggling state, weighed down by failed progressive ideas and policies, has grown parasitical, attempting to latch onto billionaires to foot the bill for a looming $100 billion hole in the state's health care system.

Not hard to see why the one-party-rule state is hemorrhaging taxpayer funds... There's no accountability.

Instead of taking accountability for failed left-wing policies, the one-party rule state is attempting to foot the bill by taxing the most productive people in the state. The consequences of such a move are very clear: the exodus of people and companies will continue.

Unhinged leftists of the S.E.I.U.-U.H.W. say the wealth tax will raise up to $100 billion from roughly 200 billionaires to support California's health care system amid budget pressures.

Left-wing Gov. Gavin Newsom has boasted about draining public resources for illegal aliens...

Trump often lies about Democrats giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants. In California, Newsom actually did it. And defends it.

"I'm proud of that. I believe in universal health care."

But, he says, "we failed on the border. We need to own up to that." https://t.co/5MFgK9tFQu

— Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1999222362894663980?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

We suspect there will be a mad dash by billionaires restructuring residency and assets, particularly toward business-friendly red states such as Florida and Texas, to reduce exposure to imploding California. Just remember, for the socialists in California, once they impose one wealth tax, it likely won't be the last.

Let's hope Newsom's destructive left-wing policies and overregulation never make it to the White House. His failed progressive policies are merely a reflection of the rudderless Democratic Party, which has been hijacked by anti-American globalist billionaires. These folks have no economic agenda, merely strip the nation of wealth for illegals and ensure 'America First' never succeeds. California is burning. And it's not from wildfires.

As 2025 draws to a close, America's truck drivers—the unsung heroes keeping our economy rolling—have a good reason to celebrate. What began as a gritty grassroots uprising in Arkansas against wage-dumping and unsafe foreign competition has transformed into a national triumph, spearheaded by President Trump's no-nonsense cabinet. This administration isn't just talking the talk; they're enforcing real change, putting American workers first in an industry battered by globalist policies.

At American Truckers United, we are deeply grateful for how God has worked through our lives, our organization, and our supporters over the past year, leading us through the toughest challenges and blessings alike.

President Trump's Executive Order was the opening salvo: mandating English proficiency for commercial drivers and launching a probe into fraudulent non-domiciled CDLs that have flooded the market with unvetted, unqualified, and untrained operators. Secretary Duffy's deep-dive investigation exposed the ugly truth— American truckers are being systematically replaced through illegal schemes, driving down wages and compromising highway safety. The FMCSA's Interim Final Ruling, though imperfect, marked a seismic shift, with the executive branch finally forcing the cutting off of the flow of illegal aliens who obtain EAD cards and CDLs. More needs to be done to permanently revoke and ban all non-domiciled CDLs, but career staffers are blocking these efforts.

Then came Secretary Rubio's freeze on work visas exploited by trucking firms, halting the influx of cheap foreign labor. Under Secretary Noem's oversight, ICE Director Todd Lyons increased enforcement through 287(g) agreements, training officers to identify immigration violations on the road. The payoff? The high-profile arrest of a terror suspect wielding one of these bogus CDLs underscores the national security risks of lax borders.

Economically, the stakes couldn't be higher. Under the previous regime, over 88,000 American-owned trucking companies folded amid mass migration and crippling regulations. But with Trump's team at the helm, 2026 promises a resurgence: fairer wages, safer roads, and protected jobs. God is answering our prayers through this administration, but battles loom— from litigation to lingering deep-state resistance.

Left-wing Governor Tim Walz, under intensifying federal pressure, faces a widening Somali-linked fraud scandal in Minnesota. Federal prosecutors state that the scheme currently totals at least $9 billion, with the final figure potentially much higher. Recent reporting by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo alleges that some welfare funds were funneled into an https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-ends-tps-somalis-minnesota-after-explosive-report-reveals-welfare-fraud-network

. Now, a bombshell video from a citizen journalist suggests the fraud extends beyond Medicaid into the state's daycare system.

?itok=rJZRcLFk

A 42-minute bombshell video by journalist https://x.com/nickshirleyy/status/2004642794862961123?s=20

and a local private investigator documents an on-the-ground investigation in Minneapolis that alleges massive, ongoing fraud in government-funded social services. The main focus is on Somali-owned businesses in child daycare, adult/autism care, home healthcare, and non-emergency medical transportation programs that draw from the taxpayer-funded Child Care Assistance Program.

?itok=41z98rEC

Shirley claims his team uncovered more than $110 million in questionable payments to Somali-owned businesses on just the first day of their investigation, as part of a broader welfare fraud scandal totaling upwards of $9 billion.

Shirley and the investigator visited several childcare facilities that had no visible children, toys, or activities during peak hours. Staff could not answer basic questions about rates or licenses. Both were denied entry to the reception areas of these facilities:

Quality Learing Center: Licensed for 99 children; received $4 million over two years. Sign misspells "learning" as "learing"; no children visible, doors locked, no playground.

Future Leaders Early Learning Center: Licensed for 90 children; received $6.67 million over two years. Facility empty; staff evasive when asked about child numbers.

Mako Child Care and Mini Child Care Center (combined): Licensed for 120 children; received $1.3M (2020), $987K (2021), $714K (2022), $1.6M (2025). No children observed.

ABC Learning Center: Licensed for 40 children; nearly $3 million over three years. Blacked-out windows, no activity.

Sweet Angel Child Care: Licensed for 74 children; $1.26 million in 2025 alone.

Millions of taxpayer dollars went to one daycare company that could not even spell "learning" correctly...

4 million dollars of hard earned tax dollars going to and an education center that can’t even spell learning correctly.

Shirley, accompanied by an investigator, also conducted site visits to adult day care and autism centers, identifying indicators consistent with the use of front companies.

If accurate, Shirley’s findings indicate a possible coordinated network of Somali-owned front companies structured to maximize extraction from taxpayer programs while minimizing detection, accountability, and the recovery of funds as exposure increases.

Diving into the corporate records of Future Leaders Early Learning Center reveals a familiar pattern. Fahima Mahamud is listed as an officer of the learning center and of multiple other companies, including assisted living and autism centers. The childcare center is also linked to Sharmarke Ali, who is connected to another childcare center as well as a home healthcare company.

https://modernity.news/2025/12/26/female-reverend-insists-mary-not-jesus-is-the-main-character-of-christmas/

The Church of England has sparked outrage with a video where a female reverend boldly declares that Mary, not Jesus, is the central figure in the Nativity story, with many suggesting it is an attempt to rewrite scripture through woke ideology, diminishing the divine role of Christ Himself.

?itok=FdnEvIqo

The video, posted by the Church of England as part of their Advent and Christmas reflections, features Rev. Pippa White speaking in front of a painting of the Virgin Mary. She opens by teasing the question of the Christmas story’s protagonist.

“If you ask me who do I think is the main character in The Christmas Story, let’s face it, I’m probably not going to say Father Christmas. But! I’m also not gonna say Jesus because I think the main character In The Christmas Story Is Mary,” White states.

Church of England posts video of a female reverend saying Mary is the “main character” in the Christmas story instead of Jesus.

“She had the chance to say no. She wasn’t forced to carry the Christ child.”https://t.co/nv7IIgbGkm

— Oli London (@OliLondonTV) https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/2003904377258647685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

She continues, emphasising Mary’s agency: “I think sometimes we can fall into a bit of trap where we talk about Mary as if she was like this pawn in a really big game but i think its important remember that she had the chance to say no. She wasn’t forced To carry the Christ child She didn’t have to but when she was told about it she said yes. Behold the handmaiden of The Lord.”

White concludes with a call to action: “So I think its really important this Christmas time we remember To be a bit more like Mary.”

The video ties into the Church of England’s “Women of the Nativity” series, which reimagines the Christmas story through female perspectives, including biblical figures like Mary and Elizabeth, alongside fictional ones. According to the church’s website, these stories aim to “bring to life the wonder of the incarnation” by focusing on women’s voices during Advent and Christmas.

While the series draws from scripture, critics see it as part of a broader trend where progressive elements within the church prioritize social justice narratives over core Christian doctrine.

This comes amid ongoing debates about the Church of England’s direction, including its stances on gender and sexuality that have alienated traditionalists.

If Mary was the main character, it would be called Marymas.

These comments reflect growing frustration among conservatives who view such reinterpretations as symptomatic of cultural decay, much like the battles against woke indoctrination in schools and media.

On Thursday Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova https://www.rt.com/news/630038-germany-travel-eu-zakharova/

repeat instances of "unjustified harassment" by German state authorities, under the pretext of EU sanctions imposed related to the Ukraine war.

A once busy destination, the Kremlin is now telling all Russians to avoid traveling to Germany unless absolutely necessary, based especially on the policy of German customs officials going so far as to seize personal use items from Russian citizens as they leave the country.

Zakharova described that even purchases worth merely more than about €353 are affected. She said that people are being  “robbed in broad daylight,” by customs officials, and are often missing their fights due to harassment by officials at airports.

She mentioned examples of high profile individuals related to Russian soccer teams being harassed, and further https://www.rt.com/news/630038-germany-travel-eu-zakharova/

:

Germany has been "de facto transformed into a ‘lawless territory’ for people of a certain nationality – in this case, people from Russia... The German law enforcement officers have become punishers, pursuing Russians with maniacal persistence. They bully them and do not even hide this fact."

She said that this is on the level of violation of rights...

"In the context of the escalating confrontation… we urge you to refrain from traveling to the United States and its allied states, including primarily Canada and European Union countries—specifically Germany—during these holidays," Zakharova stated.

Germany has been a leading country transforming itself from dove to hawk in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, and its massive ramping up in defense spending reflects this.

There's even lately been talk of instituting a draft and greatly expanding troop numbers. All of this is happening as diplomacy takes a far backseat, but there have been recent signs Berlin is being forced to https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/medvedev-asks-are-european-hawks-finally-sobering-christmas
