Excellent site, bookmark it!-----RISK TOLERANCE ☙ Friday, September 12, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS

GOP launches Jan. 6 reinvestigation; Dem redistricting revenge collapses; Trump teases assassin’s capture; Kirk remembered; Senate rams through 50 picks; Scott Adams questions Dem future.

Charlie Kirk’s death did not represent any kind of vindication against “intolerance,” however attenuated. 
It represented the death of dialogue. 
If there were one thing Charlie Kirk was most famous for, it was his willingness to patiently and respectfully debate his ideas with anyone. 
And, they could have killed him anytime. 
But they killed him during just that kind of reasoned debate, driving a final, bloodstained stake through any shred of hope that democratic debate could resolve the issues separating the sides.
  • They don’t want to debate. 
  • They want to end debate, with a bullet...
