Thursday Cartoons: September 11th Again

We come to another anniversary of September 11th…

Take a look at that video above, it was taken on September 6th, 2001. This is how I remember the World Trade Plaza. Even after 24 years…it still hurts. Weren’t they just beautiful buildings?

Now, on the events from yesterday.

Reload the page if you are having trouble seeing the Instagram posts:

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed yesterday. Here is the video of him being shot…if you don’t want to see it, don’t look. I am posting it so you can see just how exact this shot was.

Repost: @thesidewalkschool TRIGGER WARNINGCharlie Kirk, the head of Turning Point USA, the nation’s pre-eminent conservative youth organization, was shot while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, a university spokeswoman and Mr. Kirk’s spokesman said.

The university spokeswoman, Ellen Treanor, said that Mr. Kirk was struck about 20 minutes after he began speaking on campus. She said a suspect had fired at Mr. Kirk from the Losee Center, a building about 200 yards away, and been taken into custody. The suspect was not a student, she said.

Ms. Treanor said Mr. Kirk’s security had taken him away after the shooting, and she did not have any information on his condition. Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for Turning Point USA, confirmed that Mr. Kirk had been shot in the neck.

Cellphone videos taken at the event that were circulating online showed people running at the sound of a gunshot. One video appeared to show Mr. Kirk’s head jerking back as he delivered remarks while sitting under a tent with the slogan “The American Comeback” printed on it.

President Trump posted on social media in support of Mr. Kirk. “We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot,” he wrote on Truth Social. “A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” -New York Times

As you can see there was some confusion about the suspects…so far no one is under arrest.

BREAKING The killer of Charlie Kirk remains at large. FBI Director Kash Patel just now: “The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency.”

The Heritage Foundation referring to the horrific but yet-to-be-explained murder of Charlie Kirk as "his martyrdom" is not reassuring.

I agree with that one statement above by Kendra…

During this time period, there was a shooting at a school in Colorado.

While America is praying for Charlie Kirk, children were shot at a Colorado high school today. The same children Kirk said have to be sacrificed for the Second Amendment.abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-…#CharlieKirk #MassShooting #crime #guns #NRA

        Just have a quiet day and leave the TV off. The media sure does not get the idea of survivor guilt and PTSD. Be kind to yourself today!

    Still looking for the killer of Kirk. Personally, I think it was a professional hit.

      Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after his comments about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a network source.

      During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

        Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

      Wow. That should stop the rumors about Ghislaine not being as bad as Epstein. At least I hope it would.
