Kimmel is Back

As expected, Disney didn’t wait very long before bringing Jimmy Kimmel back.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late-night TV is set to be a ratings disaster after 70 ABC affiliate stations said they would not be broadcasting Tuesday’s show.

Nexstar said Tuesday morning it would not be screening Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the 32 ABC stations it owns, Variety reported, joining fellow broadcaster Sinclair who already announced their decision. Sinclair’s stations include KOMO in Seattle and KATU in Portland – two liberal enclaves whose locals are natural Kimmel viewers and likely vital to his success. The company owns a total 38 ABC affiliates.

That means close to a third of ABC’s 230 local-level stations will not run the network’s flagship late-night show, which was pulled off air last Wednesday. Kimmel’s show will also be drained of vital advertiser cash that would have been spent had his show been screened on the affiliates as usual.

The thing is, Kimmel’s show was already a ratings disaster, so that’s clearly not something that concerns Disney. For some reason, 10 years after the publication of SJWS ALWAYS LIE, conservatives still believe that converged corporations care about profit.

But as Kimmel’s restoration proves, again, profit is not their primary concern.

Disney Will Bring Kimmel Back

Hence the “suspension” rather than an outright cancellation:

Walt Disney representatives and talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel raced to find the right words on Wednesday to calm a social media furor that erupted following criticism of his remarks about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Kimmel’s comments in his monologue on Monday had angered many, and the reaction reached a fever pitch on Wednesday, including death threats that raised concerns for the safety of Kimmel and his staff, the source said. The late-night host prepared to make a statement, but Kimmel and Disney representatives could not find language that they agreed would not further inflame the situation, the source said.

As the show’s 4:30 p.m. taping time approached, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment co-Chairman Dana Walden agreed that the best approach would be to take the show off the air and later find a way to bring Kimmel back, the source said. Walden informed Kimmel of the decision.

The Left protects its extremists. The Right falls all over itself to disavow its extremists. Which is why there is no cost to walk the broad and easy path, until there is.

Next Man Up

It certainly appears that Mr. Fuentes took the offer that his immediate predecessor turned down. Isn’t it fascinating to observe how the self-styled “most-canceled man in America” is suddenly being granted mainstream platforms?

At least we have the answer to who the next major gatekeeper will be. It should be amusing to see Mr. Fuentes doing interviews with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and the Weinstein brothers. The conversations about conversations should be informative indeed.

There is an informative commentary on US politics in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon Boy.

Uncle Henry sat down. “Otto could speak off the cuff as easily as you could spit prune pits. He could talk for a full hour with only one or two thoughts to keep him company, and when people suggested he run for Congress, he said he’d be delighted. He had done well for himself, selling flavored grain alcohol to nondrinkers, but the market was drying up now that Montanans could walk into any pharmacy and purchase all the cocaine they needed.

“Otto campaigned on the back of a manure spreader. He said, ‘This is the first time I have spoken from a Republican platform.’ He made speeches against Wall Street and the railroad barons and their terrible greed at the expense of the honest workingman and tradesman, and he was elected with sixty percent of the vote and went to Washington, where he discovered that his outspoken opposition to the railroads had raised the cash value of his vote on railroad bills considerably. A Republican in favor of free enterprise got chicken feed for his vote compared to the People’s Champion from the High Plains.

“Otto once told my father that bribery was simply a case of the free market at work simplifying the decision-making process. He had a fine time in Congress and did not overexert himself. He met with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lawyers, who were helpful in advising him on regulatory matters. He passed antitrust laws that had about as much effect as a fart in a cyclone, and every two years he put on his old clothes and came home to roam the state and thunder against the Special Interests and the Malefactors of Wealth, and the Republicans put up some squinty old guy with bad breath, and Otto was elected to four terms.

“He moved to New York City after he got beat, running for a fifth term. There had been a bill that would allow the railroads to trade parts of their original land grant for parts of the Crow Reservation and thus open up forty square miles for copper mining, and Otto was going to vote for it, and then Balestrand started talking to him about the Indians and what a rough deal they got, how they were robbed, and the two of them shared a bottle of O-ho-no-ma-wa-hee, and Otto’s conscience was aroused after years of lying dormant. He voted nay. The bill passed, of course, and in the fall, the Republicans put up a cowboy against him, a Rough Rider in the Spanish War, a husband and a father of six, with a level gaze and a square jaw and a cleft in his chin, and the Republican newspapers accused Otto of wanting to give Montana back to the savages, and he was thrashed in the election.“

Owen Wept

The Big Bear must be rolling his eyes watching a mainstream “comedian” like Jimmy Kimmel trying to save his career by appealing to the Jester’s Prerogative.

‘The MAGA gang desperately [is] trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,’ Kimmel said Monday, adding that the far-right was scrambling ‘to score political points from it.’

Those comments sparked swift outrage among conservatives and even drew the attention of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who labeled Kimmel’s words ‘some of the sickest conduct possible.’ But rather than soften his stance, sources say Kimmel intended to double down on his next broadcast, a move Disney executives feared would further inflame tensions.

For Kimmel, who has helmed the late-night staple since 2003, the suspension marks the first major interruption of his 22-year run. Friends say the comedian is ‘angry but unbowed’ and feels Disney caved to political pressure.

After the announcement, a source told The Daily Mail that Kimmel ‘feels betrayed.’ ‘Jimmy has always pushed boundaries, that’s what his audience expects,’ the insider revealed. ‘The idea that one comment could sideline him after everything he’s given ABC — he’s gutted, but he’s not sorry.’

It’s always amusing to see what people in the mainstream believe is “the far-right”. The actual Right, the real Right, the only Right, isn’t trying to score one single political point from what is reported to be the assassination of a milquetoast conservative employed by foreign interests. Nor do we celebrate it. Why would we, since he’ll be replaced by another manufactured “success” before long. This Charlie Kirk tweet should suffice to explain my complete indifference to his reported fate.

Sure they are. By far… Those must have been some fascinating ideas and arguments derived from the complete literary works of Jordan B. Peterson.

This will be my last word on Charlie Kirk because I never considered him anything but irrelevant, and what little I’ve learned about him in the last week has only confirmed my total lack of interest in whatever it was that he was selling to the American public. Be offended if you like, but observe that you’ll search 21 years of archives here in vain without a single reference to him prior to the recent events.

Back to the cancel culture boomerang. It’s even more amusing to see a mainstream clown like Jimmy Kimmel appealing to the same Jester’s Prerogative that didn’t protect Owen Benjamin back in the day. No one cares how many boundaries you’ve pushed in the past, the point is that you pushed too far for the current political climate and therefore you’re canceled.

Get used to it and learn to code.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Or rather, what one hopes will turn out to be the attempted assassination of Conservative Inc.’s current spokesman.

Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem. Footage from the scene showed eventgoers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday. The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area at the Turning Point USA event Wednesday, according to bystander accounts.

If the orcs and goblins of Clown World are going after the cuckservatives, it’s probably best for genuine nationalists to stay frosty and stay very far away from public speaking events on college campuses… which is not exactly a problem.

If Charlie dies, this may prove to be the first shot fired in Round Two. It should be noted that the Right didn’t start it. It’s far too soon to know what the eventual impact will be, but it would not be surprising if Charlie Kirk’s death also marks the end of the moderate Right.

UPDATE: The man arrested appears to be a 60-something liberal Boomer. But he may not be the shooter.

UPDATE: MSNBC just speculated the Charlie Kirk shooting could have “been a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.”

UPDATE: He didn’t make it. Requiescat in pace. Charlie Kirk was 31 years old.

The Media is Outdated

Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated makes a cogent point about how today’s media simply doesn’t understand how people actually utilize the media today.

Please explain to us the economic rationalization of ESPN’s U.S. Open coverage. Specifically, why does the network, without fail, assume that tennis/sports fans always value big names over interesting matches that are well underway? For example, instead of sticking with the third set of a compelling match featuring an American ([Amanda] Anisimova), they switch the beginning of [Iga] Świątek’s third round match against an under matched opponent straight. They cut from [Adrian] Mannarino vs. [ Jiří] Lehečka, a fun match heading into the fourth, to bring us Alcaraz’s Round of 16 match, because god forbid we see anyone but the highest seeds play tennis. Yes, I know I have the option of paying for ESPN+. But why not mix things up and put Alcaraz and Świątek’s on ESPN+? Surely fans would be more likely to pay to see them than Mannarino? Are people really turning off a good match because they don’t recognize or consistently root for the players? Doesn’t ESPN realize that I’d rather maintain my righteous indignation than give the streaming services another red cent?

• Here’s the TV dance. Hardcore fans say, Why are you showing me this blowout involving a star when, say, Jenson Brooksby and Flavio Cobolli are having a gripping battle. The network executives say, You are armed with data showing fans like stars. Why are we airing Cobolli vs. Brooksby when Sinner is playing? Which is TV criticism distilled to its essence. One person likes broadcaster X for her modesty, while another says she is boring and predictable. One person likes the courtside reporter. Another says they are distracting. More doubles! Why are you polluting my Labor Day afternoon with doubles!

Any complaint, as Taylor notes, is met with: Download the app or register for the plus channel, check out our direct-to-consumer option, and you can watch any match, anytime. (You just have to pay for it.)

Here’s my overarching television criticism. Most sports have become niche, tennis included—disintermediation and all. Fewer people pick up a remote control and happen to come across tennis. Fans are there intentionally. For the U.S. Open coverage—never mind the Australian Open coverage at unholy hours—most are hardcore. Treat them like the aficionados they are. The storylines are presented broadly and blandly. (Rafael Nadal retired, but there is a new Spanish bull! The U.S. Open is an asphalt jungle! Something is in the water in Italy. Djokovic is battling Father Time.) Telling the same anecdotes again and again and again? (Alexander Bublik went to Vegas! The dad is Corey, so she goes by Coco! Jessica Pegula is a Bills fan because her dad owns the team!) It insults the audience and seems to me to be a fundamental misreading of media consumption in 2025.

We’re in a vertical world but the media still operates in a horizontal manner. And if this is true of something as simple as sports, imagine how much more true it is of more complicated matters such as economics, history, science, and war.

This is downright comical. Especially considering that several of the people on their list are openly left-wing socialists. However, it is an apt illustration of the illiteracy of the younger generation, as Dinesh, Milo, and Jared are the only three who can be taken seriously as intellectuals, while Tucker and Alex are the two that I consider to be legitimate TV/video journalists.

And while I like my fellow GamerGater Sargon aka Carl, and approve of his newfound nationalist sentiments, I don’t think anyone would mistake him for an opinion leader. I like Jesse Lee too, but… come on.

British Girls vs Migrants: The Real Story

Remember, the Official Story is always, ALWAYS, wrong in at least one or more substantive details. So, it should come as no surprise that the British media is not only attempting to falsely spin the story of the young British girl who defended her sister from an alleged attack by a migrant sex pest, but appears to have gotten a number of basic details wrong as well.

Here is the Daily Mail’s attempt to whitewash the story in favor of the migrant and alleged attacker.

Now we can reveal the man being threatened is a family man who has been living in the UK for four years – and who was accompanied by his wife on the way to the shops when the incident occurred. Far from being fresh off a cross-channel small inflatable, as implied by Robinson and Musk, Fatos Ali Dumana, 21, says he came to Britain legally from Bulgaria and he and his wife have an eight-month-old baby.

The self-styled ‘digital creator’ took the chance to have his own say on the bust-up which launched a thousand memes – and which also led to the girl being charged by police. Speaking from his home in Dundee, Mr Dumana insisted he did nothing wrong and is in the country legitimately.

He said: ‘I have seen the social media and it’s blown up. In the video she’s saying, “Don’t touch my sister, she’s only 12. I never touched her. I didn’t hit her, I swear on my life, I have a baby now. I would never hurt someone. If she’s only 12 why was she messing with me and having weapons? I was going to the shop and she was stopping me going on my way. If I did hurt the girl, why didn’t the police arrest me? They have done nothing to me. ‘They saw from the CCTV cameras from Farmfoods that she was stopping me go on my way to the shop. There was one more person also who told them (the police) she was attacking me and calling me a f* migrant. ‘I am not an illegal migrant. I have not done anything. I did not hit them, I am a human not an animal.’

So, there are several obvious red flags in the Daily Mail’s version:

  • He is a migrant from Bulgaria. No one said, or cares, how recently he arrived or whether he is “legal” or not. He is quite literally “a fucking migrant”. The distinction between “illegal migrant” and “legal migrant” is arbitrary, irrelevant, and intended to obscure the issue.
  • Presumably the police didn’t arrest him for the same reason they didn’t arrest any of the Rotherham rapists or the dozens of other migrant sex pests attacking young British girls. The police are evil and an important element of the war on the British people; the order they are employed to maintain is a wicked, anti-British, and anti-Christian order.
  • She is carrying weapons at the age of 12 to defend herself and her sister from foreign sex assailants because she believes, correctly, that neither the police nor British men are going to defend her.
  • The over-the-top victim rhetoric. “I am a human not an animal” is the sort of thing that third-worlders say because they behave like animals. A civilized individual never has any need to point it out.
  • The “I could never” rhetoric. Never trust the word of anyone who attempts to substitute irrelevancies for actual impossibilities. “I was not there” is an alibi. “I have a baby” is not.
  • He mentions “one more person” without clarifying that it was a third girl who is a friend of the two girls, an eyewitness to the attack, and was the individual who contacted the police.
  • The article states that he was accompanied by his wife but not by their 8-month old baby. Was the woman with him actually his wife?
  • You know it’s a Clown World propaganda piece in defense of the Narrative when they’re not accepting comments on the article.

Now the real story from the mother of the THIRD girl who was there, who was an eyewitness to what she claimed was an attack by two migrants, and who called the police.

I spoke with the mom of one of the girls and got the entire story that the media is covering up and lying about. So first of all, the reporting got the names of the girls mixed up. There were 3 girls who were there who were accosted and attacked by the migrants. Lola – Lola is the hero from the video. She’s the one with the axe defending her sister from the migrant attackers Ruby – Lola’s older sister who was attacked and hospitalized, Mayah – Ruby’s best friend who was with them and went to call the police after Ruby was attacked by the migrants

Here’s the summary of what happened from Mayah’s mother:

“Yes. So what happened was the girls where out just walking and the man in the picture made comments to lola (the younger girl) calling her sexy and other sexual remarks then the girls started to tell this man to leave them alone and stop following them and making sexual remarks to them. After that the man’s sister (also in the picture) came around the corner and physically attacked ruby (the older sister) she grabbed her hair dragged her to the floor started to punch her then both the man and woman where kicking her in head while she was on the floor. At this point my daughter (mayah) called the police so my daughters account after that is all a bit blurry. But that is when lola had the weapons she pulled them out to protect ruby. After that the man came back at lola recording her making sure she showed the weapons to the camera and antagonising her. Ruby was hospitalised after the attack with a severe concussion a tennis ball sized lump to the back of her head as well as lots of bruises.”

Never, ever, take anything the mainstream media says at face value. It’s always a spin and it’s always in the same direction. The fact that the story has already gone viral and spawned a series of effective means is why they’re attempting to get out ahead of it and spin their usual false narrative about how foreign invaders never did nothing to nobody and if you think they did, well, you’re just a racist.

UPDATE: The BBC inadvertently demonstrates why British police reports cannot be trusted while trying to establish the Narrative.

BBC News understands that officers have found no evidence to substantiate claims being made online the youths were at risk of sexual assault. The force had initially said she was 14, before issuing a correction.

First, notice the focus on the claim of being “at risk of sexual assault” as opposed to the actual claim of “were physically assaulted by migrants”. Second, note that they didn’t get the age of the girl or the number of girls correct. And third, in the aftermath of Jimmy Savile and Rotherham, why would anyone take anything that the British police say seriously? They’re confirmed liars.

UPDATE: Curiouser and curiouser. If this is the couple that attacked and filmed the girls, then the Bulgarian migrant being portrayed as the innocent victim by the Daily Mail wasn’t even involved at all and is probably just a crisis actor. It’s obviously not the same man; among other things, there is no cross tattoo on the neck.

Fake Trump Exit Incoming

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this lately, but a lot of shills are suddenly pushing the idea that Trump’s short, puffy hands are an indication that he’s in poor health and will die soon, even though the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and its treatment was announced more than a month ago, on July 17th.

President Donald Trump underwent medical testing after he had been seen with deep bruises on his hand and swollen legs in recent days, and was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

My opinion is that Clown World’s play of the double card is now deemed to have failed, and now they’re going to dispose of their puppet with the announcement that President Trump has died and JD Vance is succeeding him. This, I think, would be a belated attempt to force the white hats out in the open, presumably before they are prepared to make their case to the global public. It’s a move that smacks of desperation, but given how the balance of power has been gradually, but decisively, shifting toward Clown World’s enemies and away from their servants, it might be one of their last chances to escape the inevitable by overturning the table and trying to find some leverage in the chaos.

Now, for those of you who are binary thinkers, please just ignore all of this. I’m not interested in hearing your retarded attempts to declare “Vox believes this” or “Vox believes that” or “Vox is Q-tarded”. I’m a game designer, remember? I write 900-page fantasy novels with 9 different storylines running simultaneously. Unlike most people, I’m capable of following a logical line of thought all the way through to completion without getting attached to it or emotionally committing to a conclusion. I’m just looking at the observable facts, paying attention to reported events, and contemplating various possible explanations, always with the caveat that nothing reported by the media is ever what it seems.

But it is interesting to see that shills all over social media are suddenly hinting at Trump’s death by natural causes. They’re doing this for a reason. If you’ve got a better explanation, feel free to share it.

Definitely Fake, Possibly Worse

Big Bear has a theory about Nick Fuentes:

A full breakdown of who Nick Fuentes is, who’s backing him and why. This is very detailed with clips of him describing all of my claims. The dude openly promotes pedophelia and honey pots his listeners. Over and over again.

I don’t think he’s a fed. It’s way way worse.

Now, I don’t pay enough attention to Nick Fuentes to have much of an opinion on him other than the fact that I know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he is a coward, he is a liar, and he is a manufactured entity who is propped up by inorganic means. Who manufactured him and who props him up, I do not know, because I realized he was irrelevant and intellectually unserious back in 2019 and therefore saw no reason to start paying attention to anything he said or did. A search of this blog will confirm that there are very, very few references to him to be found here, aside from a mention of his 2020 banning by YouTube and a 2023 reference to the obvious similarities between Fuentes and the failed attempt to make Jon Zherka a thing.

You may recall the list of signs that an individual is controlled opposition and his “popularity” is being manufactured for him by the mainstream media, as in the cases of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Nick Fuentes, and Andrew Tate, just to name a few.

I will point out that one mistake commonly made by midwits is to assume that because A is attacking B, A cannot be in the employ of B. This assumption is fundamentally false, because everyone, on every side, is well-aware of the utility of being able to control the opposition. Hence the joke about never asking a “white nationalist” about the racial heritage of his significant other; it is safe to assume that most Internet Nazis are actually funded by AIPAC contributors in order to play the role of the over-the-top bad guys in order to provide the impetus for AIPAC’s endless campaign against anti-semitism.

This is Clown World, after all, where everything is literally fake and reliably gay.

But Owen’s instincts should not be ignored. Once he saw through the charade that is Jordan Peterson and understood the mechanism by which these frauds are manufactured and elevated, his natural ability to sniff out BS became applicable to the intellectual and ideological gatekeepers. I don’t know if he is correct about Fuentes being the puppet of an even darker group than the one to whom the Petersons and Shapiros are beholden, but if he is, we’ll eventually learn the truth.

One thing that separates both Big Bear and I from all the midwits who keep falling for these charlatans is that unlike them, we don’t listen for confirmation. It means nothing to either of us to hear that someone appears to agree with anything we say or with what we believe. What we listen for, what we pay attention to, are the anomalies. Because it’s always in the anomalies that the truth can ultimately be perceived.

Words are just words, and they mean less than nothing in the mouths of inversive liars to whom deceit is a virtue and fraud is a moral imperative. The only words that really matter are the Words of God, which informs us that we are to judge both men and their words by the fruit that they bear.

We are told that Nick Fuentes has 710k followers on X, which utterly dwarfs the 800 subscribers that Big Bear and I presently share on UATV. So I wonder, what fruit has been born of this massive following and the resources it implies?

I note that Nick Fuentes claimed to be “the most cancelled man” back in 2022, five years after I was banned from Twitter. I’m still banned. My wife is still banned. Fuentes has 709,900 followers there… And finally, the reason that I know he is a manufactured fraud is because manufactured frauds always run away from debate with me because they are not allowed to “platform” me.

Which, you will note, Nick Fuentes did, repeatedly, back in 2019. The problem is that I have always been, and will always be, far more relevant than the fraudulent little freak is, whether Owen is correct about him or not. It is an undeniable fact that more people around the world utilize the very words and ideas that I create than even know who he is. So if you’re a Nick Fuentes fan, remember that when challenged in the very manner he invited, he behaved exactly like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.

“I don’t want to debate him because it’s too boring, dude, it’s too boring. Everybody would think that would be exciting, but, I can tell you for a fact that there would be no entertainment value in debating somebody as boring and as slow as Vox Day. So the guy’s boring, and he’s irrelevant, you know, who’s watching the Darkstream? If he can pull more than 2000 viewers concurrent watching the Darkstream, maybe I’d consider him worth my time, but, I mean the guy’s a has-been, you could say he never was. You know, this is somebody who’s been floating around on the scene like writing books? And, what does he have to show for it? Infogalactic? A gay comic book? You know, all these like just stupid projects that don’t go anywhere.”

And in the event you’re dumb enough to believe that your binary thinking model is capable of addressing issues that intrinsically involve some elements of deception, please be advised that you should keep your irrelevant opinions to yourself.
