Hollywood Panic Attack: Jimmy Kimmel’s Wife Says “Freedom” Is Hanging By A Thread Under Trump

A twice-deported illegal immigrant with a rap sheet allegedly brutally stabbed a man on a Charlotte, North Carolina, train. Honduran illegal immigrant Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is accused of stabbing a man with a “large fixed-blade knife” on a light rail train Friday, leaving him in critical condition, according to the Charlotte Observer. He was first deported from the United States on March 9, 2018, before he crossed the border illegally again and was removed in 2021, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Solorzano-Garcia snuck back in undetected for a third time on an unknown date. He was previously arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, destroying evidence, resisting arrest, using a false ID, and has convictions for robbery and illegal re-entry. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called it a “heinous” attack, saying that her agency has taken action to ensure he faces justice. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

Make no mistake: We will not rest until every depraved criminal illegal alien is removed from our communities,” Noem said. Both President Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy commented on the incident: ?An illegal immigrant who was previously deported is now accused of attempted murder for stabbing a man on the Charlotte Light Rail this week? This is just MONTHS AFTER the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska.@POTUS is right… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We need justice NOW! pic.twitter.com/rnQBer1W3L — Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) December 7, 2025 The latest stabbing comes just four months after the unprovoked murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, in Charlotte. Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly stabbed Zarutska repeatedly in the neck as she was commuting from her job at a local pizza joint. Last month, the Trump administration deployed federal immigration agents to Charlotte, leading to hundreds of arrests of illegal immigrants in response to local sanctuary policies.

Kevin Smith gave us some of the most memorable independent films and characters of the 1990s. If you love Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, or Jay and Silent Bob, you have Kevin to thank. But before you thank Kevin, he’d probably prefer that you thank his mom, Grace V. Smith, as he credits her as the person who made him who he is. Grace passed away on December 1, and Kevin wrote a beautiful tribute to the first woman he ever loved. “The bill for 55 years of unconditional love came due on December 1st, and the costly price was having to watch the strongest person I’ve ever known – my absolute favorite person in the world – exit the stage after a lifetime of setting it for her children. My Mom is gone,” Kevin wrote. Kevin Smith Always Felt His Mother’s Love Grace Smith gave Kevin Smith and her other children the kind of love many wish they had. “She was a lioness, fiercely protective of her pride, who lived for her kids,” he added of his mom, “so there’s never been a day in my life when I didn’t know in my bones that I was valued as human being, cherished as a child, and deeply loved beyond reason. My Mom made me feel like I mattered – to our family, to the world, and especially to her.” Kevin Smith closed his post with gratitude, thanking his mom for “Making me and taking me on the journey of a lifetime. I love you so much, Mom. You’ve always been, and will forever be, my hero. Love, Tiger.” Fans left Kevin kind words of support and thanked Grace for giving them her son. “Sorry for your loss, Kevin. She will be remembered by many as a wonderful woman who loved her family and many who loved her back. She was more than just a fan of Kevin Smith; She made Kevin Smith, who he is today,” a fan shared. This story’s featured image is by Matt Winkelmeyer/WireImage.

'[The] Supreme Court said they agree with the way these operations are being conducted'

'The defendant created the situation.'

Google settled a racial bias lawsuit for $50 million. Merrill Lynch paid $20 million. Maryland taxpayers will have to pay $3 million to make a racial discrimination suit go away. “This is ridiculous! Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!” complains Heather Mac Donald, author of “When Race Trumps Merit.” In our new video, she argues that companies and governments feel forced to pay because of a legal doctrine called “disparate impact.” “Most people don’t even know what it is!” I say. “It is their greatest weapon against excellence,” she replies, “and it is an abuse of the spirit of our civil rights laws.” Disparate impact rules say any policy or test in which some races or sexes do better than others is illegal discrimination, even if the policy has nothing to do with race or sex. “The Maryland State Police wanted to make sure state troopers could read at a very basic level,” says Mac Donald. But because black applicants got lower scores, the test was ruled racist. Because women got lower scores on the physical fitness test, the state was also found guilty of sexism. State politicians promised to change their standards and create new tests. Maryland taxpayers still have to pay millions. “Disparate impact means an institution can be completely colorblind, it can want to have as many different races as possible, but if it has a standard that blacks do poorly on, you got to throw out the standard,” says Mac Donald. New York taxpayers also paid about $2 billion because lawyers said a test for teachers was racist. Mac Donald says: “Even though you’ve spent decades throwing out every question on this exam that has too wide a racial divergence, you still didn’t have the same proportion of black applicants passing as white applicants, we’re going to throw out the exam. And you, New York taxpayers, are liable for $2 billion!” I push back, saying the reason blacks are behind “is because of the legacy of slavery … That’s all they’re saying. Remember that.” “No,” replies Mac Donald, “they’re saying much more than that! … We have way overcorrected. You can have meritocracy in an institution, or you can have diversity. You cannot have both.” Now President Donald Trump has ended disparate impact rules in the federal government. “We’re bringing meritocracy, the American way, back!” said his energy secretary. Trump also told colleges to get rid of DEI programs. “Some did kind of dismantle the DEI offices,” says Mac Donald, “but a lot of other ones just renamed them. ‘Diversity and Equity’ becomes ‘Belonging and Community.’” At the University of Virginia, staffers were caught bragging about it. “We have to change the names of some of our programs,” says one. “We have ‘queer brunch.’ You can’t call it ‘queer brunch’ anymore. You (have) to call it ‘cozy brunch’ … We’re doing the same stuff, but changing the names a little bit.” “It is an act of narcissism and ego on the part of these college administrators who only care about the photos that show up on their college website and making sure that they’re suitably diverse,” says Mac Donald. “None of your viewers should give any benefit of the doubt to these bureaucrats. There’s no knowledge required to be a diversity bureaucrat. The only thing necessary is you’re willing to prosecute the race hustle.” That’s doing real harm, she says. “You already have medical schools that have simply waived the medical college admissions tests for black students because they do so poorly on them. They are bringing blacks into medical schools with qualifications that would be automatically disqualifying if presented by whites or Asians.” These facts are unpleasant for many to hear. But they deserve to be heard. Institutions should have one standard for excellence. “Ban discrimination,” says McDonald, “but we do not ban excellence. We do not ban high expectations … Have a single level of excellence in this society. That is how we’re going to move forward.” COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.
