It’s Thursday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

09/11/2025:

The news cycle today is nothing short of overwhelming: the assassination of Charlie Kirk, another tragic school shooting in Colorado, the 24th anniversary of 9/11, fresh CPI data, the firing of the UK ambassador over ties to Epstein, and the release of disturbing new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account that shed more light on Ghislaine Maxwell’s role.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was assassinated Wednesday afternoon on a college campus in Utah. President Let’s Unite in Hating the Left Even More quickly released a four-minute video following his own announcement of Kirk’s death.

To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.

Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loves so much—the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He’s a martyr for truth and freedom—and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth!

Charlie also is a man of deep–deep faith—and we take comfort in his knowledge that he now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are with his wife Erika, the two young beloved children, and his entire family, who he loved more than anything in the world. We ask God to watch over them in this terrible hour of heartache and pain.

This is a dark moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever, to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense on campuses nationwide. He championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor, and grace.

It’s a long past time for all Americans and media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.

From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others in the city of New York, and I’m sure the story and killed in our country, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died: the value of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God.

Charlie was the best in America, and a monster who attacked him was attacking our whole country. An assassin tried to silence him with a bullet, but he failed because together we will ensure that his voice, his message, and legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, because this heinous act, Charlie’s voice has become bigger and grander than ever before, and it is not even close.

May God bless his memory, may God watch over his family, and may God bless the United States of America. Thank you.

It’s the tweet. 09/10/2025.

The FBI offered a short update this morning.

They also said in the presser they have tracked the suspected shooters movements from when he entered the Utah event, from fleeing the roof, to images from neighbors ring cam footage. They will not be releasing any details on the suspected shooter at this time, but urge anyone that has any footage of the event to please send it in.

During an event to mark 9/11 the President said he was “pleased to announce” that Kirk would be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

At least he did it during opening remarks…

But, he really should have waited until a different day.

CPR News (09/10/2025):

The student who opened fire Wednesday at Evergreen High School, injuring two other students, died Wednesday night of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said. 

One student remained in critical condition, according to doctors, while another was discharged from the hospital overnight to continue recovery from injuries.

The sheriff said the shooter was a 16-year-old male.

He had fired a revolver at students at 12:24 p.m. Wednesday, bringing scores of first responders to the school. 

Three students — including the shooter — were treated at CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital for gunshot wounds. A fourth student took themselves to the hospital with injuries sustained while escaping the high school and fleeing to a nearby elementary school.

CPR News (09/10/2025).

AP News (09/10/2025):

The teens were originally listed in critical condition, St. Anthony Hospital CEO Kevin Cullinan said. Their ages were not released.

By early evening, one teen was in stable condition with what Dr. Brian Blackwood, the hospital’s trauma director, described as non-life threatening injuries. He declined to provide more details.


BLS.gov released the Consumer Price Index report this morning.

The charts:

It’s not the peak inflation of 2022, but from my experience this is hurting me, and others, more.

The reason…

Tariffs. That’s it, that’s the reason. When blanket tariffs are a thing we have to pay for imports, our costs go up and there is no “buy cheaper” or even “do without”. We are stick with higher prices on everything.


Epstein Files goes global…

On this side of the pond…

Show more =’s The list includes people who’ve previously been linked to Epstein, including Jimmy Cayne, former chief executive of Bear Stearns; Jes Staley, who would later be named the CEO of Barclays; and Trump. Cayne died in 2021. Staley did not respond to a request for comment. “Plse review list and add or remove peeps,” Maxwell wrote. “Remove trump,” Epstein responded. The pair discussed additions to the list and at least one other deletion.

Show more =’s It was in an email dated Aug. 23, 2007, a month before Epstein signed the non-prosecution agreement with the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida that ended the federal component of the Epstein investigation.

The linked article was not paywalled for me.


Today is September 11th. It’s hard to believe it’s been 24 years since that morning when our country was shaken to its core. We remember the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93—brought down in Pennsylvania by brave passengers who refused to let terrorists claim more lives. The memories are still heavy, and the grief never really goes away, but neither does the resilience we saw in the days that followed.

Show more =’s More than 400 members have died because of the work they did in rescue and recovery. Countless others continue to suffer from 9/11 related disease. We will #NeverForget them.

I found this this morning. I haven’t been able to watch the whole thing.

Here’s a feed to today’s memorial.
