Columnist Karen Attiah complained on Monday that the Washington Post fired her for falsely quoting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination.
The Post fired Attiah for falsely quoting Kirk stating that "black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously" on BlueSky, a left-wing social media website. In a Substack post, Attiah accused the Post of engaging in "hasty overreach" over their swift firing of her and instantly made her termination about race.

'Gross misconduct': Washington Post columnist complains she was fired after sharing fake quote from Charlie Kirk * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Why is he lying about the massive crime increase in those democrat-controlled cities??!!-----Republicans Escalate Their War on America’s Cities
Its most visible manifestation, of course, is President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington, which he expanded to Memphis last Friday. - Harold Meyerson
...Perry’s amendment may be the reductio ad absurdum of the Republicans’ war on cities, but it is part of a far broader party offensive, waged at the level of state government as well as federal, that is both accelerating and intensifying...
As I reported in February of last year, the current wave began in 2016 when North Carolina nullified a Charlotte ordinance that penalized violations of LGBTQ rights...
- This year, we’ve also seen Trump’s Guard deployments set a template for red-state governors.
- In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Guard and state troopers to Houston in case there were protests of ICE’s deportation sweeps,
- and in Louisiana, Republican Gov. Jeff Landry sent state police into New Orleans to conduct sweeps of their own of the city’s homeless encampments...
Do they actively the crime that has devastated the cities they control??!!-----Crime is Still Down in Washington, DC - John Sexton
Isn't it curious you haven't heard much about that lately?
- President Trump's emergency control over the DC police ended last week.
- Isn't it curious you haven't heard much about that lately?
- That's probably because it worked.
NPR ran this segment a few days ago.
JENNIFER LUDDEN, BYLINE: I head first to the Southeast D.C. neighborhood of Congress Heights, an area with high poverty and a history of high crime. Thirty-two-year-old Michael Jackson (ph) is waiting for a bus in a yellow vest for his job in maintenance and cleanup. He also lives nearby and says he's seen positive change the past month.
MICHAEL JACKSON: No more hanging out. You don't hear a lot of gun noises, a lot of gunshots. It's a lot more peaceful.
LUDDEN: D.C.'s police department says violent crime during the surge fell 39% compared to the same time period last year. Jackson thinks the amped-up security sent a message to would-be criminals.
JACKSON: Do they really want to be involved with the ATF, FBI? So that gave criminals a chance to think, like, do the right thing.
- But NPR was able to find several progressives who said they felt unsafe...
Colleges are communist indoctrination centers....
This was from my girlfriend's syllabus from 2010 in a Midwest State. - Harriett Lublin
This nonsense started at Columbia then worked its way all the way through the ivy league, Berkeley, and eventually spread through all of academia nationally.
- These universities must be reformed or shut down.
- If they can't teach math and science and real academics then they should lose accreditation, students should not be able to take out government-backed student loans.
- No more research grants...

'Did they know?' FBI investigating whether pro-trans radicals knew in advance about Charlie Kirk assassination plot | Blaze Media:
The FBI is looking into whether online trans-activist groups had foreknowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination plot — and is taking deadly seriously those alleged social media posts that appeared online prior to Sept. 10 discussing Kirk's slaying at the Utah Valley University Turning Point USA event.
Bongino told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Monday both that "there appear to have been multiple warning signs" of suspected assassin Tyler Robinson's intention to kill Charlie Kirk and that some people may have known in advance.
German military seeks massive troop boost to meet NATO goals
Memo by a top commander calls for more than doubling the size of the German military over the next decade. - POLITICO - Chris Lunday and Gordon RepinskiThe German military is pressing for a dramatic expansion of its ranks by 2029 and beyond as it looks to become Europe's dominant army...
The paper, sent to the defense ministry and Bundeswehr inspector general earlier this month, argues that only a much larger army will give Germany the credibility to deter adversaries and fight a high-intensity war alongside allies...
- Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged to turn the Bundeswehr into “Europe’s strongest conventional army” and take a greater responsibility for the continent's defense — a promise that thrilled NATO allies but raised questions at home about how to deliver the numbers.
The Green Agenda Turned New England Into an Energy Price Punchline | RealClearEnergy
Every month, the electric bill arrives, and it’s larger than the month before. - Daniel TurnerThe region pays more for electricity than almost anyone else in America—higher than the national average and, outside of Alaska and Hawaii, higher than anywhere else in the country.
This is not a coincidence.
- It is the inevitable result of politicians who pushed the risky and unreliable green agenda while forcing reliable power plants off the grid.
- When Joe Biden took office, electricity in New England cost 20.7 cents per kilowatt-hour.
- By the time he left, it was more than 28.2 cents. That’s a staggering spike of more than 36% in just four years...

He lied. His team lied. All of Big-Med lied!-----Obamacare destroyed the health insurance market, Trump is rebuilding it - American Thinker
For years, the Democrats have maintained their goal to take away freedom of choice on health care, wanting government health care for all. - Jack Hellner
- The misnamed “Affordable Care Act” took away freedom of choice, forcing everyone to buy a Rolls Royce policy, which obviously made premiums skyrocket.
- if you liked your plan and doctor you could keep them, and they intentionally lied when they said
- Obamacare would substantially lower premiums...
- The results of Obamacare are obvious.
- Health insurance is much more unaffordable...
'Last-minute abuse of power': Lawsuit seeks details about Biden's 'accelerated' prosecutions over Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Last-minute abuse of power': Lawsuit seeks details about Biden's 'accelerated' prosecutions over Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
It seems there may have been an active agenda under the Joe Biden administration to accelerate prosecutions over the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the Capitol after President Donald Trump was elected in 2024 and it was clear Biden soon would be out of power.
It was under the Biden administration that judges uniformly held people suspected of offenses like trespassing for months, even years, in prison.
Worldwide!!-----For the first time, more kids are obese than underweight
According to UNICEF’s new Child Nutrition Report, about 9.4 percent of school-age kids (ages 5–19) are living with obesity, compared to 9.2 percent who are underweight. - Pratik Pawar
- Twenty-five years ago, the gap was much wider: Nearly 13 percent of kids were underweight, while just 3 percent had obesity.
It might feel odd to put obesity in the same bucket as underweight; one has long been seen as a problem of scarcity, the other of excess.
But public health experts now define both as forms of malnutrition, which they describe in three dimensions:
- not enough food,
- too much of the wrong food, and
- hidden hunger from micronutrient deficiencies...
