Jimmy Kimmel deserves a second, even longer suspension.

At the very least.

The far-Left host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” got benched last year for insinuating that Charlie Kirk’s killer was part of the MAGA movement. 

Fake News on Steroids.

He never apologized, and ABC quasi-honored him with a one-year contract extension.

We later learned that an affiliates revolt sparked the suspension, but both Kimmel and Legacy Media outlets insisted, without evidence, that President Donald Trump forced him off the air.

What Kimmel did last night was far worse.

Jimmy Kimmel pushes the narrative that President Trump is ordering ICE to kill Americans:

“He isn’t just killing people overseas…”

“Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis! Get the f*ck out of all of these cities!”

Hours after an ICE agent shot and killed a protester driving her car at him, Kimmel went on the air and misled the nation.

Again.

That wasn’t all he did, though. 

Kimmel embraced the false narratives peddled by Minnesota politicians regarding the shooting, ignoring the video evidence showing the officer in question acted in self-defense.

“Now, I saw this video. It didn’t look anybody got run over to me,” he told the audience. “It looked to me like a woman got scared, tried to drive away, and they shot her. That’ll be for the court to decide.”

This angle clearly shows the ICE agent being hit and dragged on by the car. Could have easily killed him. pic.twitter.com/3dKIYwR0pA

You decide.

But remember, this is the same Kimmel who saw President Joe Biden freeze up during a 2024 campaign fundraiser and lied to the world, saying we can’t trust our own eyes.

During Wednesday’s telecast, Kimmel unfurled a shirt that read, “Donald J. Trump Is Gonna Kill You.” How should viewers respond to such a provocation? 

We’re seeing left-wing violence across the culture of late, from a hardcore progressive allegedly killing conservative icon Charlie Kirk to Tesla dealerships targeted for destruction.

And let’s not forget the Left and Hollywood celebrating the pro-Antifa movie “One Battle After Another.”

Kimmel’s initial suspension raised legitimate free speech issues. The FCC holds sway over broadcast networks. In theory, Kimmel’s chronic, hard-Left messaging could run afoul of said rules. FCC Chair Brendan Carr suggested as much, adding the government could do something about Kimmel’s hard-Left programming.

Taking him off the air on those grounds would set a dangerous precedent. Plus, when in doubt, recall the late Andrew Breitbart’s core message.

More voices, not less.

Carr got plenty of criticism for the comments, and rightly so. There’s no evidence that his words impacted Kimmel’s suspension or return to work, though.

That was then.

Kimmel’s voice took a new tone this week. And, in twisting the truth and waving a T-shirt saying “Donald J. Trump Is Gonna Kill You,” he moved from far-Left propagandist closer to inciting violence.

That thinking may have led a single mother to risk everything to protest ICE and die in the process. Hope Disney and ABC are happy with their late-night culture warrior.

I find this piece significant, and think it is likely to be one of the most important essays of the year:

A few months ago, I started running my life out of Claude Code. Not out of intention to do so, it was just the place where everything met. And it just kept working. Empires are won by conquest. What keeps them standing is something much quieter. Before a king can tax, he must count. Before he can conscript, he must locate. Before he can rule, he must see. Legibility is the precondition for governance…

The first thing Claude solved was product blindness. NOX now runs on a cron job: pulling Amplitude, cross-referencing GitHub, and pointing me to what needs building. It handles A/B testing, generates winning copy, and has turned customer support into a fully autonomous department.

Once I saw this was possible, I chased it everywhere. Email, hitting inbox zero for the first time ever, with auto-drafted replies for everything inbound. Workouts, accommodating horrendously erratic travel schedules. Sleep, built a projector wired to my WHOOP after exactly six hours that wakes me with my favorite phrases. Subscriptions, found and returned $2000 I didn’t know I was paying. The dozen SFMTA citations I’d ignored, the action items I’d procrastinated into oblivion. People are using it to, I discovered, run vending machines, home automation systems, and keep plants alive.

The feeling is hard to name. It is the violent gap between how blind you were and how obvious everything feels now with an observer that reads all the feeds, catches what you’ve unconsciously dropped, notices patterns across domains you’d kept stubbornly separate, and—crucially—tells you what to do about it.

My personal finances are now managed in the terminal. Overnight it picks the locks of brokerages that refuse to talk to each other, pulls congressional and hedge fund disclosures, Polymarket odds, X sentiment, headlines and 10-Ks from my watchlist. Every morning, a brief gets added in ~/𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚜. Last month it flagged Rep. Fields buying NFLX shares. Three weeks later, the Warner Bros deal. I don’t always trade, sometimes I argue with the thesis. But I’m never tracking fifteen tabs at 6am anymore.

It feels borderline unfair seeing around corners, being in ten places at once, surveilling yourself with the attention span of a thousand clones.

A panopticon still, but the tower belongs to you.

There is more at the link, or this link, and yes she is related to the 18th century Irish economist Richard Cantillon.
