Jimmy Kimmel last night, via NYT “This show is not important,” Mr. Kimmel said in his opening monologue. “What’s important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

If you don’t appreciate the censorship of Jimmy Kimmel’s show by broadcast groups (after a weekend in which Trump voiced his hatred and mocked Biden’s stage 4 cancer), don’t watch those stations. Note which businesses advertise there.

Trump says that blue cities should WELCOME out-of-state National Guard troops. If it’s such a great idea, why are no red cities/states (some with higher crime rates than DC) clamoring for similar ‘occupations?’
