[NOTE: “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade may have issued an apology for his inhumane comments about homeless people at the point of a corporate gun, but who cares?
And I’ve been to Dachau. Killing people “just because they’re …” isn’t something you talk about. This is what happened in Germany in the 1930’s and ‘40s. What is wrong with these people? And the left gets criticized by the president for being the radicals. When are people in this going to wake up?
Just a horrible place. Your voice is taken away when you spend 3 hours there. You just cry and shake your head that people could be so cruel. Thanks to your Uncle for freeing those who shouldn't have been there
They're so afraid of Trump it's unbelievable. They turn everything around to demonize anything that doesn't fit their narrative. It's very dangerous, scary and is leading us further down the road to an authoritarian government/regime
We need to flood the airwaves about this monstrosity. Have homeless people stand in front of their Fox window until they cave. There must be an agency that can file a class action suit for all the homeless.
The irony is that Trump used the opioid crisis as a pretext for many of his illegal actions. How does Kilmeade reconcile that a high percentage of the homeless folks he wants to eliminate are the addicts that MAGA claims to be all about saving.
Apologies are about things like saying someone has bad hair, or bumping into a person at the mall. When you suggest murdering the better part of a million human beings an apology doesnt quite cut it.
This is sickening and it is real. Fox News is out to make a buck and this is a perfect example of Upton Sinclair's quote," "Fascism is capitalism plus murder".
It would be nice to think there are enough Americans — I am unsure there is — to constitute another United States Third Army as it approached Buchenwald.
The prisoners there, about to be executed by the fleeing SS, were able to radio a plea: To the Army of General Patton, we are the prisoners of Buchenwald. SOS. We request help. The SS wants to kill us.
The Third Army replied: Hold out. Rushing to your aid.
These MAGA folks are getting more and more comfortable blathering their hatred.
I guess this is how empire's die. Shootings, war, misery. How grotesque.
Yet, I believe in renewal. I believe in decency. I still believe there are more decent reasonable people than otherwise and that we can reclaim our country and rebuild it. I choose decency.
The great decent yet silent majority must become less silent. I've changed my approach when I find myself in a "conversation" with a MAGA person.
I doggedly insist on facts, and I doggedly persist with reason. I don't back down, but neither do I become abusive.
Facts and reason are kryptonite to MAGA. Or perhaps the better analogy: when I pour facts and reasons over the head of a MAGA person, they melt, as the wicked witch melted when she was doused with water. They're very pissed off, but they melt.
This is a high risk approach because these folks have a propensity for violence, but let them be angry. Let them be consumed in the flames of their own hatred. Better to have conflict than the loss of our country.
I have had those “conversations” as well. I don’t think they do much but only piss them off and frustrate them. That is satisfying but does not change their minds. I have a neighbor I’ve been waiting to confront who is a maga. I want to have a calm conversation with him and I want to listen to him to try to understand why he thinks the way he does. I’m not going to argue or debate him. I just want to hear him. But I have not had the chance to do so yet. He is not violent that I know of and he is an animal lover which I take as having a heart in there somewhere! One of these days…..
Well, I'm not trying to change their minds so much as letting them experience via my dogged insistence on facts and reasoning the impotence of their approach, which is unfounded opinions, beliefs, and hostility. Admittedly, it's a rough approach, but I am fed up with their childish behavior.
I will start out by saying that of course political assassination is wrong, period. That being said, the lionization of Charlie Kirk is disgraceful. His admirers call him “loving” and eager to debate and pious. They leave out and delete so much of what he was about, the hateful messaging on so many topics. And anyone who dares touch on the reality is canceled, fired, and demonized. It is all too clear which of Brian Kilmeade’s messages reflected his genuine beliefs (the first one!) He could barely spit out that pitiful “apology”. But the thought and speech police on the Right are now dictating what is allowed to be expressed about Charlie Kirk, and a variety of other topics. Listening to a bit of the coverage on CNN this weekend, which I barely watch anymore, made clear that the anchors I used to respect are muzzled and so “careful” that they barely say anything about anything anymore. I just hope people are not scared to turn out for No Kings Day 2.0. I am very worried about that! I know I’ll be there…
Call and email FOX. (Their contact info is on their website-peruse the site for a moment if you will. Lordy.) Tell them Kilmeade must be fired. Tell them you will buy no products from their sponsors until it happens. And then, pick a sponsor and tell them, too.
My goodness. Just when I thought Fox News couldn’t get any lower. Gracious sake - these people are insane! They get all riled up because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk (who might have been assissinated by an even crazier right extremist) but the WCN, MAGA, political leaning right, tolerates a comment like this. 🤦♀️
A small correction if I may; I love Steve Schmidt and think of him as the Thomas Paine of our time, but his Substack articles are opinion pieces, generally not reporting. It's important to recognize the difference. This is not just your mistake, but is a huge problem with what most call cable "news." Hope I didn't offend you. No offense was intended.
As we witness the crumbling, and the selling off of what we call mainstream news, I am thankful for Steve's voice on "The Warning", Dowd's voice on "Lighthouse Sentinel", and the voices of "The Lincoln Project", and others who are willing to risk their lives, and the lives of their loved ones, as they speak truth to power. These voices are helping me to stay the line, to have courage and know that I am not alone in this nightmare, and to help me know that I am on the side of truth. These voices are replacing the mainstream news, the news that we used to count on for the truth. I am also watching the BBC, and PBS while it is still on the air, more and more, for my "news". The BBC reports what is going on in America-after all America is still regarded as a major power in the world. I think the rest of the democratic world are just as puzzled and confused as we are. Like us, they cannot imagine how this was able to happen in AMERICA, of all places? So, I thank God that we have these voices, because if we didn't where in the hell would we hear the truth?
I think Steve does a great job of Taking the headlines and turning them inside out to expose all four sides. I for one value his sensible thinking. I need sense right now.
Isn’t the answer to this ridiculous worshipping of Charlie Kirk— who was an IGNORANT person— some celebrating of our own? Deion our this stupid noise about this ignorant ambitious nobody called Charlie Kirk with a huge assembly about Melissa Horstman… or the brave Epstein survivors! Let’s have a rally and celebrate TRUTH for Heavens Sake. Drown them the fuck out for once.
Kilmeade used the word 'program' regarding help that is available to homeless I guess? In Nazi Germany they rid themselves of criminals, socialists, Jews, the mentally challenged and the diseased via....a PROGROM.
One word, lampshades. This is where this lead to in the past.
Oh, it could never happen again. The scarboroughs,25 mil a year, what would you do after 2 years, how would you spend the 50 mil. You couldnt, all you could do , would be to count it. What do they produce? What do they make , do they make america better?
What they say isnt hate speech , its affirmed speech, every dollar, to them means , i did good, what i said was right.
And I’ve been to Dachau. Killing people “just because they’re …” isn’t something you talk about. This is what happened in Germany in the 1930’s and ‘40s. What is wrong with these people? And the left gets criticized by the president for being the radicals. When are people in this going to wake up?
Thank you for this. My uncle was a liberator of Dachau.
The experience stole his sanity.
Just a horrible place. Your voice is taken away when you spend 3 hours there. You just cry and shake your head that people could be so cruel. Thanks to your Uncle for freeing those who shouldn't have been there
Thank you. Uncle Paul had many comrades, so he was not the only one.
Yes. The unfortunate hell place speaks volumes about itself.
I'm so sorry and thankful for people like your Uncle.
Thank you, Joan.
When are those that represent us going to stand up?
They're so afraid of Trump it's unbelievable. They turn everything around to demonize anything that doesn't fit their narrative. It's very dangerous, scary and is leading us further down the road to an authoritarian government/regime
Yes. Unfortunately I suppose it's easier to spread lies than to espouse the truth.
We need to flood the airwaves about this monstrosity. Have homeless people stand in front of their Fox window until they cave. There must be an agency that can file a class action suit for all the homeless.

Maybe this is the end of irony.
Apologies are about things like saying someone has bad hair, or bumping into a person at the mall. When you suggest murdering the better part of a million human beings an apology doesnt quite cut it.
How is it possible that people can accept or consider serious an apology for such a deranged and hateful suggestion?
Kilmeade is not the brightest bulb in the drawer, nor is the Dear Leader he fawns over:
“What’s illegal are the drugs that were on the boat, and the drugs that are being sent into our country, and the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs, that’s what’s illegal,” Trump said. https://www.joemygod.com/2025/09/trump-300-million-people-died-from-drugs-last-year/
“Smart people don’t like me, you know? And they don’t like what we talk about,” Trump told attendees of a gala at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club on Saturday. https://www.joemygod.com/2025/09/trump-300-million-people-died-from-drugs-last-year/
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a rising Democratic firebrand, wrote in an X post: “I agree! Soooo does MAGA know what this means he thinks of them?”
Sought for clarification on Trump’s comments and a response to Crockett, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told the Daily Beast: “All three of Jasmine Crockett’s brain cells are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome.” https://www.joemygod.com/2025/09/trump-admits-smart-people-dont-like-me-video/
‘Nuff said!
Not even close 🤬
This is sickening and it is real. Fox News is out to make a buck and this is a perfect example of Upton Sinclair's quote," "Fascism is capitalism plus murder".
As they double down on the threats, I’ve noticed that no one is talking about Epstein.
Independent Media is talking about it. The survivors are still talking about it!!
And I think just one more vote is needed to release the files to Congress.
It would be nice to think there are enough Americans — I am unsure there is — to constitute another United States Third Army as it approached Buchenwald.
The prisoners there, about to be executed by the fleeing SS, were able to radio a plea: To the Army of General Patton, we are the prisoners of Buchenwald. SOS. We request help. The SS wants to kill us.

Yet, I believe in renewal. I believe in decency. I still believe there are more decent reasonable people than otherwise and that we can reclaim our country and rebuild it. I choose decency.
I believe there are more of us also but we don’t have a huge megaphone that the gaslighter in chief does.
The great decent yet silent majority must become less silent. I've changed my approach when I find myself in a "conversation" with a MAGA person.

I don't watch FOX and friends. I refuse to listen to such BS.
When the words blurted out of Kilmeade's mouth, be sure that they were in his head long before that.
You can't "walk back" comments like that.
No one on Fox news cares. Especially, if it brings in higher ratings and more attention.
A huge portion of America has sold it's soul. I don't exactly know what it is they hope to gain, but
it will detroy all of us.
Miller's Gestapo has been targeting ice cream vendors in LA. Here is Miller's latest victim: https://hyperallergic.com/1040791/jorge-cruz-street-vendor-beloved-by-los-angeles-art-world-abducted-by-ice/ It's obscene and enraging that they go after hardworking men and women, many of whom are parents.

I totally agree. Opinion essays are very important and Steve is the best.
Give me a break!

And EVERYONE has to show up in October. Everyone.
Damn straight we do.
