  2. Well, he really blew his chance last night. Jimmy Kimmel chokes up as he explains Kirk comments, says he 'never' intended to mock assassination by Lindsay Kornick https://www.foxnews.com/media/jimmy-kimmel-chokes-up-he-explains-kirk-comments-says-he-never-intended-mock-assassination The Left doesn't like it when you change their 'narrative' and the Right knows that he is lying. He pleases no one. .
  3. Shooting At Texas ICE Facility. Who Is Very Pleased? Well, as of 10:30 am, the top posters in NC's thread are #1 Round&round and #2 Tibs.
  4. He didn’t apologize. He said “I’m sorry you were offended.” The framing is entirely intentional. .
  5. He HAD to be attempting sarcasm. How could anyone believe this ?
  6. The important part of the Gays Against Groomers post, below the Show More It’s hard to imagine given how ultra-feminine she is today! Had she grown up a few decades later, when gender-nonconforming kids are told they were born in the wrong body, her life would have been completely different. Thank God she didn’t. This is an important reminder that childhood phases do not define adult identities. Leave the kids alone and #SaveTheTomboys!
  7. This is a complete non-story. (Cubs fan since 1968) He was friends with Charlie. He asked the Cubs organization beforehand (granted) Media trying to cause an issue because he demonstrated his faith. .
  8. A weirdo with a lot of unexplained money and resources.
  9. Smokers Using Nicotine Pouches to Quit Smoking - So Now Illinois Is Taxing them By Ward Clark There's a standard rule of economics that states, "What you tax, you get less of. What you subsidize, you get more of." That statement is usually applied to matters of enterprise, welfare and so on. But it also applies to products. Case in point: There's a tobacco-based product that has been helping a lot of people quit smoking. It's called a tobacco pouch, and it's great for people transitioning from smoker to non-smoker. I think I'd argue that even using the pouches to get that little nicotine buzz without all of the tars and other crud that come with typically low-grade tobaccos used in cigarettes is still a step in the right direction. The FDA agrees: So this may be a valuable tool for people who are trying to quit smoking, and it may serve as a less-harmful alternative to smoking at the very least. Which may be why Illinois just decided to tax tobacco pouches. There is essentially no logic in this. None. But then, there's no logic in sin taxes in general, be they for tobacco, alcohol, or anything else. These are legal products; it is not the role of the government to protect people from the consequences of their bad decisions, nor is it the role of the government to prevent people from having those choices. And, of course, every such product on which any level of government levies such a tax invites a black market. You would think that if any state would understand this lesson of Prohibition, it would be Illinois, but that evidently isn't the case. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/09/23/smokers-using-nicotine-pouches-to-quit-smoking-so-now-illinois-is-taxing-them-n2194270
