A leftist professor who promoted her pro-abortion ideology on campus, posting a sign on her Notre Dame office door to that effect, now apparently must pay $244,000 to a local student publication after she filed a failed lawsuit against it.

Word about the possible penalty for attacking the publication comes from James Bopp Jr., who founded the Bopp Law Firm that represented the Irish Rover, an independent, nonprofit, student publication at the school.

It advertises that it is "devoted to preserve the Catholic identity of Notre Dame."

Google has confirmed in a letter to Congress that Joe Biden demanded censorship of COVID and elections information on YouTube that conflicted with his ideological agenda at the time.

"It is unacceptable and wrong when any government, including the Biden administration, attempts to dictate how the company moderates content, and the company has consistently fought against those efforts on First Amendment grounds," Google's lawyer said in a letter to Congress.

The letter was the result of oversight work by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

His announcement said the company admitted kicking creators off YouTube due to "political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections" and they are now being allowed to return if they choose.

Jordan's statement confirmed Google admitted that Biden "pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies" and that pressure was "unacceptable and wrong."

The fights over speech triggered by Biden's censorship agendas included his attempt to suppress many true statement statements about COVID, that it came out of Chinese lab experimenting on how to make bat viruses more dangerous, and that he demanded Americans take the experimental shots for the virus.

Those shots since have proven to be capable of causing serious injury to recipients, including death.

He also demanded suppression of comments about the failures of the American election system in the 2020 presidential vote that gave him the White House. Since then the public has learned that there were two major outside and undue influences on that election, one being the handout by Mark Zuckerberg of some $400 million to local election officials who often used it to recruit Democrat votes. Never before in American elections had such an amount of private money been used to influence the vote.

Further was the decision by the FBI to interfere in the vote, when it advised major news corporations to suppress information about Biden family scandals revealed in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden. The FBI falsely claimed it was Russia disinformation at a time the bureau knew the descriptions were factual.

Jordan confirmed that Google also promised never again to use third-party "fact-checkers," an industry that arose to spread leftist disinformation as true during COVID and the election.

Jordan's investigation of Google already has spanned years.

The letter to Jordan was from Daniel Donovan, a lawyer for Google.

In it, he claimed Google "is committed to doing its part to continue to keep the digital ecosystem safe, reliable and open to free expression."

It claims a bias "towards a particular viewpoint is not in line with the company's values…"

During COVID, he wrote, "Senior Biden administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies. While the company continued to develop and enforce its policies independently, Biden administration officials continue to press the company to remove non-violative user-generated content."

Biden, he said, "created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation."

He claimed YouTube's current policy "allows a wide range of content regarding COVID-19 and elections."

Further, it has "sunsetted a [previous] policy to allow for discussion of possible widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurring in the 2020 and other past U.S. presidential elections."

It is providing a way "for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect."

Google also warned against Europe's Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act as attempts to threaten "freedom of expression within and outside of the European Union … ."

America now has its own jihadis – those who advocate for and are willing to carry out the destruction of those who disagree with their agenda.

But it has nothing to do with the common understanding of jihadis, those who kill wantonly for the sake of Islam and their god, Allah.

That's according to a stunning commentary from Drew White, a former U.S. Senate staff member and policy adviser to multiple organizations, who wrote at the Federalist about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, which advocated for civil dialogue, free speech and even a spiritual revival in America.

"Two days after Kirk's assassination, a former colleague shook his head in disbelief that the left would kill conservatives for simply having a different political perspective. While many conservatives indeed see it as an ideological dispute, leftists increasingly see it as their sacred duty — not unlike a jihadist — to snuff out those who refuse to worship at their pagan altar of Gaia (climate change), Moloch (abortion), or Ishtar (transgenderism)," the article explained.

"This is a spiritual conflict and the casualties are mounting. It's children being gunned down at mass in Minneapolis Catholic schools, teachers and children being martyred at Christian schools in Nashville, young Jewish couples being murdered outside museums in Washington, D.C., and prominent voices for Jesus being assassinated in Orem, Utah."

And it's partly the fault of the "American church," he said.

They and "a significant number of Christian leaders," have "allowed these demonic old gods to effectively displace the one true God from the public square, often in a misguided bid to be 'seeker-sensitive' at the expense of Gospel truth."

He explained, "Kirk was bold, clear-eyed, and courageously defended conservative principles. Much more, he was an unapologetic follower of Jesus who put his faith first and forward. He never missed an opportunity to talk to the lost about his Savior. And it was for that reason that Kirk was martyred before the eyes of the world.

"Contra conventional wisdom, this was no political assassination, but rather the physical manifestation of spiritual warfare — revealing the demonic undercurrents driving the political left. Many others have done yeoman's work — including Kirk — highlighting the increasing violence of the left in the United States. According to a YouGov survey released the day Kirk was murdered, a chilling 26 percent of self-identified liberals under the age of 45 believe political violence is sometimes justified."

He explained it amounts to "a secular religion that seeks to erase God and is at war with the Gospel."

He noted many would think America's first prominent martyr of our times should have been a pastor or theologian.

He said the answer is obvious.

"The reason is because Kirk was a threat to the enemy — the real enemy. And the broader American church currently "

He said society now elevates identity and self-worship "as the highest good."

"It aims to nullify the church into adopting modern pagan syncretism through distorted definitions of 'social justice' and a guilt-laden emphasis on helping 'marginalized people,' all while aiming to colonize church institutions in service to an evil ideology that explicitly seeks to eradicate God from our civilization," he said.

He noted his own experience with church operatives who told a congregant they would be praying over a situation in which a drag queen teacher was trying to groom children at school.

"When our friend came to my wife and me, we did what we knew how to do from years of political battles. We crafted the ironclad case. We set the strategic table. We kept our hearts focused on protecting the kids of our community. And when the moment arrived, we poured righteous accountability down on the local school board from every angle — using our national political connections — so that they had no choice but to push the pervert 'teacher' out of the classroom," he said.

He said that same church's response was to fret over the possible ramifications for church congregants.

He said far from being political issues, life, marriage and being made in the image of God are "the essential things of the church."

"Yes, Kirk is dead because a demon-possessed adherent of radical gender theory, an offshoot of Marxist critical theory, assassinated him for speaking the truth. Yet his martyrdom also makes the weakness of the American church obvious by comparison. This must change," he said.

"It is long past time for the pastors and Christian leaders of this country to rejoin us on the increasingly spiritual battlefield called 'politics.'"

A sitting member of Congress has come up with a startling definition of "criminal." It's apparently not someone who commits a crime.

That's according to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who boasted during an interview of having conversations with "people that were going out and committing crimes."

"I do want people to know that, just because someone has committed a crime doesn't make them a criminal. … Being a criminal is more so about your mindset."

A lot of violence-promoting hate language has erupted across America since the politically motivated assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk in Utah a week ago.

One of the more egregious comments has come out of Oberlin's student body.

That school, which has a documented history of attacking innocent people, and paying the damages, now has disavowed the comments from student Julia Xu, who insisted, "We need to bring back political assassinations."

In an interview Wednesday, former President Barack Obama discussed the assassination of Charlie Kirk, pointing to the rhetoric of President Donald Trump and some of his administration for contributing to and normalizing political vitriol in America.

Speaking at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania, Obama said Trump and his allies calling their opponents "vermin" and "enemies … speaks to a broader problem."

Obama condemned some in "authority" for trying "to silence discussion" in the nation after Kirk's murder.

Fani Willis, the Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor who created an organized crime case against President Donald Trump and a long list of other defendants as part of the Democrats' lawfare against him, has suffered the ultimate in rejection.

After a lower court threw her off the case because of conflicts – for one thing she hired her paramour with tax money to assemble her allegations against Trump – the state Supreme Court now has refused to reconsider, making her ejection of the now likely-dead case against Trump permanent.

For the case to continue, another prosecutor would have to be assigned the case, and begin assembling claims about evidence from the start.

Only a day after WorldNetDaily reported more than one perpetrator may have been involved in the assassination scheme that killed Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk while he was speaking at a free speech event at a Utah school, there's confirmation now that other individuals now are the targets of FBI agents.

The civil rights leader and outspoken Christian leader was gunned down at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, and a suspect, Tyler Robinson, described as a being far left on the political spectrum and a supporter of the LGBT ideology, in fact sharing an apartment with a man transitioning to be a "woman," had been arrested.

But FBI chief Kash Patel explained during an interview Monday that the suspect allegedly was involved in social media chat groups in which the plan to murder Kirk apparently was a topic of discussion.

There are other members of Discord chat rooms, and "scores are going to be spoken to," Patel said.

He said the FBI already had obtained message exchanges between the suspect and his live-in partner, and data from cell phone use and more was being used to identified where the suspect had various conversations, and with whom he was speaking.

He said the FBI is moving carefully through the process so what is found can be used as evidence in court.

Text messages, in fact, talked about the "opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it."

The public, Patel said, has a right to know who knew of the assassin's plans, and what they did with that knowledge:

Assistant FBI chief Dan Bongino, also during an interview, said a focal point is what happened when an "individual expresses in advance his desire or her desire to do these specific things … The target was announced in advance. … Did they say and hear it and think it was some kind of joke? There's a larger network here."

In fact, a report at the Free Beacon indicated the FBI is investigating social media posts "by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk."

That's according to those familiar with the investigation and screenshots the publication obtained.

"The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk's assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok," the Free Beacon explained.

"The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to a person who flagged them for the agency. Screenshots of the posts have been circulating online but had not been previously authenticated. While the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death."

One social media statement, on Sept. 3, said, "itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO."

And one from Aug. 6 said, "september 10th will be a very interesting day." After Kirk's assassination, that same speaker said, "I plead the fifth."

One person "who appears to follow Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, … posted as soon as Kirk was killed, "WE F—— DID IT."

The report said, "Several of the accounts under investigation appear to be associated with LGBT subcultures. One individual, 'Osamu bin Tezuka,' used the X handle '@fujoshincel,' a reference to a genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men. Another user, '@NajraGalvz,' who had wished death to Kirk and predicted that 'something big will happen' when he set foot on campus, had identified as nonbinary on X."

The LGBT factor should provide alarms for Americans, as multiple recent mass shootings, before the Kirk assassination, involved those caught in the transgender culture.

The Free Beacon noted, "a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote that 'charles james kirk…does not know what's coming tomorrow.'"

The Free Beacon pointed out, "the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death."

Alarmingly, one mentions "Donald Trump. December 14th," in the same discussion.

WND's earlier report noted that journalist Benny Johnson posted on X: "Just spoke with top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk's assassination: 'That assumption is premature. This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.'"

"FBI sources assure me the public will 'know everything' about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk's left-wing political assassin," Johnson continued. "The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence."

"We have everything. We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know," according to the source.

Journalist Nick Sortor confirmed the bureau is actively digging through chat logs, dark web history, and affiliations of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody, noting: "Another FBI source independently verified to me Benny's reporting here is accurate."

"NO STONE should be left unturned. We must know exactly WHO radicalized this degenerate, and lock their asses up."

Elon Musk earlier had blasted left-wing violence and the assassination of Kirk, saying "The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder."

"See how much violence there is on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. Let that sink in for a minute. That's who we're dealing with here."

During The 2024 presidential race, the Democrats were in lockstep: Joe Biden was an amazing intellect capable of running the world's most powerful country like no other. And Kamala Harris was right with him regarding work, duties, goals and accomplishments.

That was before the election.

Now it's after, a catastrophic landslide loss, and according to Harris, Biden's team didn't support her and didn't even understand that her doing well reflected on him.

According to the Biden entourage, Harris never was good at her job.

A commentary at Twitchy said, "It appears the Biden folks aren't very happy about Kamala's new bombshell book. To be clear, Joe probably has no idea what is going on or what is being said or even what planet he is on. Jill and the rest her team are mad.

"Basically, they are saying all she did was complain, did no work, and was incompetent. Sounds about right."

The internal war is being documented on social media:

For example, Harris charges that, "None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital. It would serve as a testament to his judgment in choosing me and reassurance that if something happened, the country was in good hands. My success was important for him. His team didn't get it."

She further blasted the Biden White House for failing to push back when she was criticized.

"The White House rarely pushed back with my actual resume: two terms elected D.A., top cop in the second-largest department of justice in the United States, senator representing one in eight Americans.

She also claimed she had to "shoulder" the burden for the porous border, even though the issue had been "intractable for Democrats, and Republican administrations alike."

She was, after all, appointed by Biden to be the border czar.

But President Donald Trump, on taking office and eliminating Biden's pro-illegal alien agenda, reduce the illegal trafficking across the southern board to almost zero within just weeks.

The backlash wasn't hard to predict:

Said one report, "Bidenworld explodes at Harris over the book excerpt after years of simmering tensions. 'Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,' said one former Biden White House official. 'She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration's key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.' Biden is 'not the reason she struggled in office or tanked her 2019 [presidential] campaign,' the ex-official said. 'Or lost the 2024 campaign, for that matter. The independent variable there is the vice president, not Biden or his aides.'"

Harris, in fact, dropped out of the 2020 Democrat race without gaining a single delegate. She got no more in being crowned the Democrat candidate in 2024 because she was hand-picked by the party elites and party members never voted on her.

Twitchy's opinion, "Basically, they are saying all she did was complain, did not work, and was incompetent. Sounds about right."

Others blamed Harris' own team while VP: She was known as someone who was extremely hard to work for, and her staff proved that with high turnover rates.

President Donald Trump on Monday highlighted another deadly weekend in Chicago, as he wondered "what is wrong" with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson who are opposing any deployment of National Guard troops to stem the violence in the Windy City.

"6 people were murdered in Chicago this weekend, 12 others were shot, and in serious condition," Trump said on Truth Social.

"This would mean that over the past number of weeks, approximately 50 people were killed, and hundreds were shot, many expected to die.

"Governor Pritzker just stated that he doesn't want Federal Government HELP! WHY??? What is wrong with this guy, and the 5% in Polls Mayor. I want to help the people of Chicago, not hurt them. Only the Criminals will be hurt!

"We can move fast and stop this madness. The City and State have not been able to do the job. People of Illinois should band together and DEMAND PROTECTION. IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!! ACT NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

He posted another message touting the reduction of crime in the nation's capital since the Guard was deployed there to assist local law enforcement.

"Washington, D.C. IS A SAFE ZONE IN JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS," Trump said. "Thank you, President Trump. Who's Next???"

The president also shared an image revealing crime statistics in D.C., noting carjackings have dropped by 85%, robberies by 42% and violent crime by 24% since Trump began his crime crackdown.

On Saturday, he posted an "Apocalypse Now"-style message, saying: "I love the smell of deportations in the morning …

"Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR." Democrats have been reportedly losing their minds after that post.

One reaction to Trump's posts was an image of both Pritzker and Johnson starring in a spoof of "Dumb and Dumber," with the message: "They are having blood on their hands for allowing this crime to continue!"
