After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, hundreds of people were fired, suspended, or publicly shamed for comments deemed celebratory or callous. Phrases like “zero sympathy,” “this made me giggle,” or even literary quotes about reading obituaries with satisfaction were enough to cost people their jobs. Conservatives largely applauded those punishments, insisting that celebrating or rationalizing political violence crossed an unforgivable line. Now consider what happened this weekend. Actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were brutally murdered, reportedly by their own son. It is a horrific crime. Whatever anyone thinks of Reiner’s politics, (he was an outspoken critic of President Trump), there is no moral universe in which implying he somehow deserved this is acceptable. And yet that is exactly what President Trump did. In a Truth Social post, he suggested that Reiner’s “hatred” and so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” contributed to his death. He doubled down on that when asked by reporters. Strip away the phrasing and the message is unmistakable: this is what happens to hateful people. This is what Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC for. Here’s the problem. President Trump just did the very thing his supporters demanded liberals be canceled for after Charlie Kirk’s death. Free speech principles don’t change based on who’s speaking. You can defend Trump’s right to say it but you cannot defend the double standard. The post Celebrating Death, Condemned — Until Trump Did It appeared first on Redacted.

Two members of the Iowa National Guard were killed in Syria, reportedly “by a member of the Syrian government’s security forces.” The two servicemen were identified as 29-year-old Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard and 25-year-old Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres Tovar. Why is the U.S. National Guard in Syria? The simple answer is that the U.S. presence there is illegal. Congress never declared war on Syria, never passed a Syria-specific authorization, and the Syrian government never invited U.S. forces onto its territory. The more complicated answer is that the U.S. military footprint began in 2014 under President Obama Complicated answer: The U.S. occupation of Syria began in 2014 under President Obama to prevent the Assad government from accessing the oil fields on the Eastern shore of the Euphrates. During this period, the U.S. and its allies backed al-Qaeda-linked factions such as al-Nusra, creating the absurd reality of fighting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan while empowering its offshoots in Syria. This is when the Obama PR machine came up with the word “moderates.” They were affiliated with al-Qaeda, sure, but they were “moderates.” Now that the U.S. has completed the regime change that it sought, they are still there, to quote Syrian journalist Kevork Almassian, “to facilitate the transition of Syria into a client state.” Is this America first? No. The mission never offered any benefit to the American people. And it’s worth remembering that in 2023, then-Congressman Matt Gaetz introduced a War Powers resolution requiring U.S. troops to withdraw from Syria. Congress voted it down and now two Americans are dead.I hope those deatheaters can live with themselves. The post An Illegal War Claims Two More American Lives appeared first on Redacted.
