ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' off air 'indefinitely' over Charlie Kirk comments

You know, I believe in freedom of speech but Kimmel repeatedly spreads misinformation. He is not a political pundit. He is supposed to be a television host and comedian. People seriously need to stay in their lane. He shot him self in the foot this time.

Interesting. Is not the government to “stay in their lane” regarding the 1st Amendment free speech clause?

The FCC rep made a threat directly to ABC regarding Kimmel. This doesn’t implicate 1st Amendment free speech clause rights?

“Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.” (Philippians 3:17-19 NASB1995).

Paul and the other New Testament apostles, although they were not perfect people, they led exemplary lives which we can follow. But please make certain that you read about them and that you read their words in the correct biblical context, for there are people who are taking Paul’s words out of context and are trying to make a case that Paul was somehow daily struggling with sin, and then that gives them the excuse to keep regularly giving into their sinful practices without guilt or remorse. Please read:

Search Results for “was Paul a hypocrite” – Run With It

Now for us to observe those who walk according to the pattern that we have in Paul and the other New Testament apostles, since we were not there with them when they were alive and in person with the people, we can only get to know them by becoming students of the Scriptures who read and study them in their correct biblical context. And the best way to do that is to read the New Testament books in their entirety before drawing wrong conclusions. Especially do this with the epistles. Then you will know of which Paul spoke.

But basically these were God-fearing men, called of God to his service, who by faith in Jesus Christ died to sin, were reborn of the Spirit, and who walked (in conduct) in holiness and righteousness, in walks of obedience to God, in surrender to his will. Their lives were committed to Christ and to getting out the message of the gospel to the people of the world, even if it meant beatings, imprisonments, false charges against them, rejections, and persecutions of many kinds. Still they persevered, even to their deaths.

Now, here we need to make certain that we are believing the correct biblical gospel, for there are many variations of “the gospel” which are not the gospel, for they leave out very critical aspects of the message of the gospel. For the gospel of Christ teaches that, by faith in Jesus Christ, we die with Christ to sin that we might live to him and to his righteousness. But if sin is still what we practice, and not obedience to our Lord, in practice, then according to the Scriptures, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:23-31; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10]

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

Yet, many people who profess faith in Jesus Christ are following after a diluted and altered “gospel” message which is not of God, and they are walking (in conduct, in practice) as enemies of the cross of Christ, for they believe that no works are required of them and that they can still walk in sin, and not in accord with the commands of God, and still have their sins forgiven and heaven guaranteed them when they die. But that is not the biblical gospel, but a creation of the flesh of humans to excuse away sin.

“Come to Me all you who thirst; come to waters.
Listen to Me, and eat what’s good today,
And your soul will delight in richest of fare.
Give ear to Me, and you will live.
I have made an eternal covenant with you.
Wash in the blood of the Lamb.”

Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him.
Let the wicked forsake his way, in truth.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will receive mercy.
Freely, God pardons him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,”
declares the Lord, our God.

“My word that goes out of My mouth is truthful.
It will not return to Me unfulfilled.
My word will accomplish all that I desire,
And achieve the goal I intend.
You will go in joy and be led forth in peace.
The mountains will burst into song… before you,
And all of the trees clap their hands.”

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

So the answer is yes. Cancel culture is okay when it's people you don't like. Got it.



lol what are you talking about? We're talking about Jimmy Kimmel, who didn't even say anything about Charlie Kirk. His comments were about Trump, Kash Patel, and the rest of the MAGAsphere.

Charlie Kirk and Our Christian Founding

Sorry if I missed this one if already posted. Possibly, there wasn't a transcript of his incredible talent on display. If his response is not fit for Christians to comment on here, then that is really unfortunate. This video (scroll down) which I believe has been out for some months has been hacked up depending on where you go to get it. This transcript is the fullest I could find and it is a little fuller than the video (sorry). Otherwise, enjoy patriots!

Charlie Kirk and America’s Christian Founding (Q&A)

Questioner: As stated yesterday by a couple of my friends that our country was not founded on Christian principles. Our country was founded on common law. Uh because the declaration only refers to God four times and in the Constitution doesn't refer to God at all. It Only articulated the structure of government. And, is common law Christian in nature or is it not.

Charlie Kirk: So, first of all, remember that we were a collection of states and colonies and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else. Nine out of 13 of the original states required you to be a Bible believing Christian to serve in government. All 13 required you to have a declaration of faith, nine out of the thirteen required you to be a Protestant, except Maryland which was Catholic which still required a declaration. In almost every single one of the original state constitutions, Pennsylvania included, they had I profess Lord in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the original state constitutions. Secondly, 55 out of 56 of the original signers of the declaration were Bible believing church attending Christians.

You asked about common law. So common law is inherited from Blackstone who was Christian. It a common law is an outgrowth of the scriptures. So let's go to three principles of common law.

1. Presumption of innocence,​
2. Due process,
3. Jury of your peers.

All three are biblical principles. So, and all wrapped into the ultimate biblical principle that you shall not favor justice if you are richer or poor, which is in Leviticus 19. Right before most famous part of Leviticus 19, which is that you should love your neighbor as yourself. But before that is that in the administration of justice, you shall not favor the rich or the poor, which is the idea of blind justice. We get that in the west, which is incorporated also in the New Testament ideal, “neither slave nor Greek nor Jew. You're all one in Jesus Christ”. So, we got the idea of human equality. These are all biblical ideas. Is they're not enlightenment ideas, which is they kind of get conflated at the time.

But more importantly than that, they say that God was only mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. Well, that's a big deal. Okay. Laws of nature and nature's God. The last paragraph of the declaration reads as a prayer. It says, "We appeal to the supreme judge of the universe”. Who's the judge of the universe? Jesus Christ. As it says in Revelation that Jesus will judge the earth on his throne. This. So in the declaration they were praying to Christ our Lord as a prayer very specifically.

Thirdly as I said on stage yesterday, Deuteronomy was by far the most quoted book religious or non-religious in the time of the founding when they were putting together constitution more than John Lock, more than Montisscu, more than Blackstone. So the book of Deuteronomy which talked about laws, customs, traditions, it was Moses farewell address as he's, you know, about to say goodbye. Say, "Hey, good luck in Canaan guys. Here's how you should set up your form of government."

But finally, and most importantly, let's look at actually what the founders said. John Adams seamlessly said, "The Constitution was only written for a moral and religious people. It was holy and adequate for the people of any other.” The body politic of America was so Christian and was so Protestant that our form and structure of government was built for the people that believed in Christ our Lord. One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation but we have a Christian form of government and they're incompatible. So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.

So then they'll go to the first amendment which is has two parts of the first amendment which get conflated. First of all, separation church and state is not in the US constitution. That is a single letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1807 to the Danbury Baptist Convention in Massachusetts assuring them that the government would not come after the church. Okay, which is the opposite of what they would say. However, that was then resurrected by the Warren Court and the Burger Court in the 60s where they said, "Hey, you know, all of a sudden we're now going to make this as if it's the Constitution."

It does say in the Constitution two things, which is the establishment clause and the free free expression clause. The establishment clause is that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise thereof. What they were most worried about was a Presbyterian or, a Anglican or, a Quaker type religion taking over Federal Government, Instead, it was that there is not going to be a state-run religion or a state-run government. Did you know that one of the first acts of Congress was taxpayer funded Bible printing and distribution? Did you know there were Church services held in the Supreme Court building as late as the Jackson presidency in the 1820s? But going back to this idea of separation of church and state, it's not constitutional because you go a layer deeper.

People that even say that, do you believe in separation of morality and state? Nobody does. So all laws are reflection of morality and all morality comes from somewhere. There is no such thing as neutral morality. And we believe what the founders believe because they put it in the halls of Congress. They put it in the Supreme Court and they put it all throughout the country which is that the decalogue the ten commandments, is the core morality of how a society and a civilization should should exist. Right? The the ten commandments of every person. And finally and this is the kicker. If the founding fathers were not Bible believing church uh church Christians, why did they put Leviticus on the liberty bill? Not John, not Psalms, not Proverbs, not Genesis. Leviticus. Most Americans can't spell Leviticus. Leviticus 25:19. Proclaim liberty throughout the land of which you are in.

It is one of the most sinister, most unsubstantiated lies that does not come up against any sort of academic scrutiny. This idea the founding fathers were a bunch of enlightenment common law deists.

The reason they hate it is because if they the reason they must say this is that if we actually go back to our Christian roots and we go back to where we once were, it's America's best hope for revival and for a great future."

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

Kirk said some number of deaths are acceptable to keep the second amendment.
I think he was just parroting right wing slogans there. His concern that Epstein's associates might escape, and his refusal to acceptably condemn LGBTQ people shows that he had a conscience.. Irony is, that's what might have killed him; the extreme far right hated him for it.

God, omnibenevolent or omnipotent and omniscient?

Free will it seems is always the answer to why there is any such thing as sin in the first place ... in the end, if God had not created (literal) according to the Bible) angels, the problem would have never existed to begin with ... unless you believe sin existed in God before all things and this is his way of purging it out of himself, at the seemingly expense of others, including his only son (who knew no sin) ... which begs the question of why would he purge something from himself that has always been in him in the first place ... a form of circular logic ...

Thought is the beginning of sin ...

The word is not God, it's the content (through perception) of the word that is God to us ...

More liberal lies and misdirection. Do you need to be reported to the Department of Correct Thought for re education?

JB Pritzker Claims He Has Never Called Republicans ‘Nazis’ – Gets Proven Wrong by Videos of His Own Words

(Nerdy voice) Well technically, he never actually called Republicans 'Nazis,' he only compared them to Nazis on more than one occasion. So he is obviously telling the truth.
He's not even comparing Republicans to Nazis. He's talking about Trump, the Trump administration, and neo-Nazis in those clips.

Trump to designate antifa a 'major terrorist organization'

What about FBI raids instead?
Raids? That’s for car wash employees and day laborers, not international terrorist organizations. Are you guys even serious about this? It doesn’t seem like it.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

It's got nothing to do with censorship. Mainstream NBC news is telling the truth about Tyler Robinson being a supporter of the political left.
It has everything to do with censorship.
It does. I'm smiling ear to ear over Kimmel going down in flames. And I can't want to see who's next. Burn woke burn, muhahaha.
I’m sure Kimmel will be just fine. I’m more concerned about the chilling effect this is meant to have on other opposing views, as we see with NBC conforming to the administration’s narrative that Charlie Kirk’s killer was inspired by the left when you have the killer himself citing Kirk as the source of his anger.
