Tabs do not love you Thursday— so much is true …
Fox News: Former President Bill Clinton warned that he fears the United States is losing its freedom of speech after what appeared to be a reference to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension on Wednesday.
Clinton gave remarks at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in honor of its 20th anniversary, where he criticized several Trump administration policies, including cuts to foreign aid and restrictions on immigration asylum claims.
Ed: The Clintons? Bwa-hahahahahahaha. Jonathan Turley explains next.

…Previously, Hillary Clinton called upon the European Union to use the infamous Digital Services Act to force companies like X to resume censoring Americans and others. She is now also claiming to be a free speech advocate. https://t.co/nrM5HBLesL

The last time I saw Clinton was when he and Hillary were at the World Forum in Berlin with others calling for global censorship…
Ed: Free speech for we but not for thee. That’s the Limousine Liberal Marching Song. Funny how they still haven’t commented on how their advocacy resulted the Big Brother censorship regime to which Google finally admitted and testified this week. These people are unbelievable — and a blight on liberty. But they are not alone in the blight …

Matt Taibbi: The Carlson video that was ripped at the time as “illogical conspiracy” wondered why the Biden government was saying, in April 2021, that you still need to wear a mask or socially distance, if the vaccines work. His was one of countless reports suppressed that were not violative and contained true information. Yet America’s paper of record in the lede of its thimble-sized recognition of a years-long censorship campaign focused on accounts “banned… because they violated rules that limited misinformation.” Yes, it acknowledged “non-violative” content below, but it’s become clear that papers like the Times and public figures are bending over backward to preserve the fiction that, yes, we censored, but we did it for the right reasons.
Representative Jim Clyburn in response to the Google news said it “wasn’t the same” as the Kimmel episode, because “it was a pandemic” and we couldn’t have “foolishness” and “misinformation” going on. (Note how CNN’s Abby Phillip swerves around the “non-violative” issue as well, audibling to a line about content the Biden administration “thought was disinformation.”) Meanwhile, Jake Tapper went on The Seth Myers Show and said the Jimmy Kimmel episode “was pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I’ve seen in my lifetime” …
We’ve now moved to the stage of the Jimmy Kimmel story beyond immediate outrage and legit opposition to rank propaganda. It’s unconscionable for Tapper to say this in the same week that Google admitted submitting to “repeated and sustained” government pressure during the pandemic, pressure that happened to thousands of people instead of one and lasted years instead of days.
Ed: The entire Protection Racket Media ignored Google’s admission of suppressing dissent and debate for years at the behest of the White House. Democrats ruined the livelihoods of thousands of creators for years; Kimmel got a one-week suspension for his malicious defamation on air. Puh-leeeeeeeze.

Tom Homan has had ENOUGH.
“When someone who ran for VP of the United States comparing ICE to Nazis, it emboldens them to take action… all these politicians, mayors, and governors should be calling President Trump and THANKING them for making their community safe again!” pic.twitter.com/BcS11u78Ci— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) September 25, 2025
Ed: Say, whatever happened to “stochastic terrorism”? Remember that, when Democrats insisted that their dissent was patriotic but Republican dissent was “misinformation,” “violence,” and “treason”? Right now, I’d just settle for a concerted effort to dial down the demagoguery before anyone else gets killed by Leftist militants.

Dallas News: Federal officials named Joshua Jahn, a 29-year-old unemployed Collin County college dropout, as the suspect who opened fire at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, killing a detainee and wounding two others before fatally shooting himself.
Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson told reporters Thursday Jahn acted alone in what she described as “the very definition of terrorism.”
Investigators found a collection of notes at the suspect’s home, Larson said, which indicated he intended to “maximize lethality” against ICE agents— not target detainees. No law enforcement were injured in the shooting.
Ed: Golly, will we ever know the motive of this mass shooter? Not if we rely on the national news media.

Ed: This is bitter satire, but it points up a problem. Suddenly etching/marking weapons and ammo with radical slogans is the new version of manifestos. It’s necessary to report on these, mainly because the media would otherwise insist that “the motive may never be known,” but it does appear to be a symptom of lethal mass hysteria on the Left, and the coverage only encourages its spread.

Fox News: Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University earlier this month, “made contact” with a police officer near where investigators recovered the alleged murder weapon wrapped in a towel in the woods at the edge of campus, according to two law enforcement sources.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 10, roughly six hours after a sniper’s bullet struck Kirk in the neck as he was engaging the audience during a speaking event sponsored by the UVU chapter of his organization in Orem, Utah.
The officer was guarding the perimeter after authorities placed the campus on lockdown, and the encounter appears to have thwarted the suspect’s attempt to recover the Mauser .30-06 rifle prosecutors allege was used to kill Kirk.
Ed: The perp returned to the scene of the crime; I guess clichés have a basis in reality. The texts he sent to his trans paramour indicated how worried he was that his grandfather would discover the rifle missing. It must have weighed on his mind even more than he let on.

Should’ve been the easiest “yes” of his career, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
The only word that fits here is “coward.” He’s a coward. https://t.co/xcpV76MGV7

Ed: The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Republicans with a 20-point lead on the issue of crime. Looks like Democrats won’t be happy until the gap gets to 40 points. Let’s hope they succeed!
===
Jim Geraghty at NRO: Right now, a whole bunch of Democrats are spitting mad at Chuck Schumer because they feel like he isn’t “fighting” enough, even though Schumer’s approach to Trump has been largely shaped by the fact that he’s only got 47 votes, and on any given day, John Fetterman, Ruben Gallego, Peter Welch, or some other Democratic senator might not be in attendance. But because Schumer doesn’t want the progressive grassroots to be mad at him, or think of him as man unwilling to “fight,” he’s going down a road where he’s likely to have to concede and lose the fight in the not-so-distant future.
By the way, do you think Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger, running in a state with a lot of federal government workers, wants there to be a long government shutdown, a bit more than a month before Election Day?
Ed: I wrote about this earlier today too, but it’s always good to be on the same page with my wise friend.

🚨 UNCOVERED VIDEO: A doctor at an American Medical Association event declares that Oakland, California is “occupied territory.”

Ed: It is occupied territory … occupied by gangs, criminals, and victims, but increasingly less occupied by private sector businesses and employers. There’s a reason the Raiders and the As are in Las Vegas.

The Free Press: According to Alphabet’s lawyers, the Biden administration coerced YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet, to ban users for so-called medical misinformation during the pandemic. Even Florida governor Ron DeSantis, one of the most prominent politicians in the country, was censored by YouTube for having the temerity to host a conversation with medical experts who said forcing children to wear masks was a bad idea.
Unlike the brief confrontation over Kimmel, the victims of this campaign were mostly not high-profile celebrities, but normal people, including scientists, without deep pockets and big platforms.
Another difference is that Hollywood liberals were largely cheering this state-led campaign against misinformation.
Ed: Cheering? They were DEMANDING it. Be sure to read all of this to the end, where the editors ream out the ACLU for their utter silence during the Biden Censorship Regime.

🚨 BREAKING: In an embarrassing moment, Kamala Harris’ book tour INTERRUPTED by a “pro-Palestine” infiltrator
“You’re not letting me talk!! Let’s bring the temperature down!”
Couldn’t happen to a better failed politician 😂

Ed: Oh, NOW you want to bring down the temperature. Just like NOW you’re rushing to defend free speech after participating in the systematic suppression of dissent and silencing of Americans. Nice try, Veep.

Ed: Via Salena Zito, the true Final Word tonight goes to Tim Allen.
When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who…
