Senate GOP Triggers Nuclear
Option on Trump Nominees
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 9/11/2025 8:34:11 PM
It's about time! On Thursday, Senate Republicans triggered the "nuclear option" that was holding back many of President Donald Trump's nominations. Now things can get moving. Republicans triggered the "nuclear option" to change the rules of the Senate on a party-line basis Thursday, a move that will allow them to speed up confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominees for key executive branch positions. The vote was 53-45 to establish a new rule that allows the Senate to confirm an unlimited number of nominees en bloc, rather than process each one individually. The rule applies to executive branch nominees subject to two hours of Senate debate, including subcabinet picks and ambassadors.

Florida state officials announced on Thursday that they are monitoring how teachers are reacting to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Educators could face consequences if they are caught celebrating or justifying Kirk’s death.
In a memo sent to school district superintendents, Florida’s commissioner of education Anastasios Kamoutsas wrote, “It has been brought to my attention that some Florida educators have posted despicable comments on social media regarding the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk.”
“These few are not a reflection of the great, high-quality teachers who make up the vast majority of Florida’s educators,” Kamoutsas continued.
They’re the hordes of Mordor. That’s all that can be said about these people, many of whom teach your children, manage your health care, and maintain law and order. The list goes on—we have doctors, veterinarians, wealth managers, and nurses cheering the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. And yes, some members of the media are in this ungodly horde of cretins.
The legions of unhinged progressives that infest the professional classes are startling, but also representative of the changes within the Democratic Party base, which has become whiter, wealthier, snobbier, and more insane.
A Secret Service Agent, in a Facebook post, said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was brutally murdered in broad daylight on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University. A gunman climbed up onto a roof and shot Charlie Kirk from an elevated position.
Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood.
“If you are Mourning this guy… delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show,” Anthony Pough wrote.
As we await the FBI briefing on the Charlie Kirk assassination, authorities revealed new pictures Thursday night of the suspect as well as a video taken from a neighborhood surveillance camera.
Chilling new photos of a 'person of interest' wanted in connection with Charlie Kirk's assassination have been released as the manhunt for the suspect continued.
The Utah Department of Public Safety released the new surveillance pictures Thursday night showing the unidentified suspect wearing a dark, long sleeved shirt with an American flag on the chest, a gray baseball cap and sunglasses.
He also carried a black backpack as he went up and down the stairs.
Rep. Ilhan Omar added another mark to her record as one of the most hateful, depraved members of Congress on Thursday. While speaking to pro-Hamas journalist Mehdi Hasan, the Minnesota congresswoman mocked Charlie Kirk and appeared to offer justification for his assassination.
Kirk was murdered while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley State on Wednesday, (Snip) Further exposing her lack of common decency and humanity, Omar cast that aside and instead joined with Hasan to essentially argue that Kirk deserved what he got because of his "words and actions."

Vice President JD Vance was among the countless politicians to offer prayers in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but hours later, likely after processing Wednesday’s horrific events, the VP shared more personal details of his relationship with the late conservative firebrand and how influential he was in shaping the Trump administration today.
Vance begins by describing how the two met and explaining how instrumental he was in his political rise.
"A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job.
They Murdered Charlie Kirk and They Must Pay

This may be the hardest column I’ve ever written, one where I’m so angry that it’s hard for me to put my words into a sequence that’s both coherent and not profane. They murdered Charlie Kirk today. They shot him dead because he dared to exercise his right as a human being to speak freely – contrary to what Democrat senators insist, our rights do not come from government but are endowed within us by our Creator. So, this was not merely a crime against one man, or against his beautiful family, but against both this country and our God.
And it will be righteously avenged.

Earlier, we told you about the beautifully moving tribute Vice President JD Vance posted on X in memory of his friend, Charlie Kirk. Vance credited Kirk with helping his political career take off, as well as with winning the 2024 election, calling Kirk his friend and "a good man."
Kirk was assassinated at the first stop on "The American Comeback Tour" in Orem, Utah.
Vice President Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance flew to Utah to meet with Charlie Kirk's family today. We also learned the Vances will escort Charlie Kirk's casket back to Phoenix, Arizona on Air Force Two.
We don't need to wait to find out "what motivated" the sniper who assassinated Charlie Kirk in Utah on Wednesday, as Barack Obama claimed within hours of the Turning Point USA founder's murder. We already know what the motive was. We know Charlie was shot to death by a nihilistic sniper from the rooftop of a Utah Valley University campus building because he was an effective messenger for turning hearts and minds away from the left and toward home, family, God, and life. Away from chaos and toward order. Away from evil and toward the good. [Tweet] And he was good at it. There's your motive.
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

You feel it, don’t you? That ugly, unsettling sense that everything’s different now. It’s no longer the same country.
This is the story of Charlie Kirk, the United States of America, and what the hell happens next. Today, on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we stand before two paths.
And, as Americans, the choice is entirely ours.
The first path leads somewhere darker and bloodier, replete with reprisals, escalations, vengeance, and fury. Those on the right who crave retribution will pursue it;
Charlie Kirk is dead. The world is a much poorer place without him, but the conservative movement he founded will go on, stronger than ever.
I am not blaming anyone for his assassination because we don't know who shot him or why. Duh. The obvious answer is a left-winger, but I'll hold off on what's "obvious" until the facts are in. This caution is born out of 20 years of being wrong in these situations often enough that I got sick of being embarrassed about it.
I was always half-amused at the jumping to conclusions by both sides when a high-profile death occurs in a political context.

Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd said on Friday that he was “naive” to state on national television that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk brought his assassination on himself.
MSNBC fired Dowd on Wednesday evening after he said that Kirk’s so-called “hate speech” led to his assassination, which sparked intense backlash among conservatives and mourners. The political analyst wrote in a Substack post that he did not expect people to be outraged by him bringing up that Kirk is a “divisive and polarizing figure.”
The suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident. Law enforcement sources told Daily Mail that Robinson was taken into custody as the alleged assassin who killed Kirk at a rally at Utah Valley University in Utah on Wednesday. The killer then confessed to his father, who is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, sources told Daily Mail. His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.
California Democrats passed a bill that would ban federal immigration agents and other federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks.
“We’re looking at the constitutionality of it,” Gov. Newsom said in July.
Don't bother looking, governor. Any eighth grader could tell you that a governor can't order federal law enforcement or any other federal official to do anything. This is virtue signaling at its finest, and naturally, Democrats are waving the bloody shirt for all to see.
“We are in a truly disaster of a situation where we have secret police, effectively, on our streets,” said Scott Wiener, a Democratic state senator from San Francisco. Wiener may be familiar to
COLUMBUS, Ohio [WJW-TV Cleveland] - A state lawmaker proposes allowing utilities to take control of volunteering customers’ thermostats or appliances, to decrease overall demand on the energy grid in times of peak consumption. Such optional demand response programs are already available to large commercial users, but House Bill 427, introduced in late August by state Rep. Roy Klopfenstein, R-Haviland, would allow utilities to develop them for residential consumers. “This legislation is a crucial step in our state’s comprehensive plan to ensure all Ohioans have access to reliable, affordable and readily available energy,” The programs wouldn’t be mandatory. [Snip] Utility customers would have to opt in.
A current Secret Service agent believes that Charlie Kirk deserved the assassin’s bullet that took his life.
Anthony Pough, in a Facebook post shared by Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics identifying Pough as a Secret Service Agent, said karma is to blame – or credit – for Kirk’s slaying.
“If you are Mourning this guy .. delete me,” the post reads, referencing Kirk. “He spewed hate and racism on his show.”
He added, “At the end of the day, you answer to GOD and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt [sic] leave.”
Crabtree reported that Pough’s post is circulating throughout the Secret Service community,
It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains.

The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Friday to support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and urge Israel to commit to a Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposes.
The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which sets out a phased plan to end the nearly 80-year conflict. The vote was 142-10 with 12 abstentions.
Hours before the vote, Netanyahu said “there will be no Palestinian state.” He spoke at the signing of an agreement to expand settlements that will divide the West Bank, which the Palestinians insist must be part of their state, saying, “This place belongs to us.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been asked to return to Congress to answer questions about emails uncovered by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) showing the former White House COVID-19 czar asking colleagues to “delete” messages, according to copies obtained by The Post.
Fauci, who helmed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, in two email chains asked other public health officials — including then-National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins — to send his emails to the trash bin after reading them.
One of the communications from Feb. 2, 2020, revealed the ex-NIAID head imploring Collins to “Please delete this e-mail after you read it”
The suspect alleged to have assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been identified and is in custody, according to the FBI.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox participated in a press briefing with FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” Cox declared.
The governor explained that “a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washignton County Sheriff’s office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.”
Cox further explained that Robinson arrived on the Utah Valley University campus, where the shooting occurred at about 8:29 a.m., in a grey Dodge Challenger.
Scott Adams, the creator of the famous ‘Dilbert’ comic strip, talked about the murder of Charlie Kirk during his ‘Coffee With Scott Adams’ podcast today and suggested that the Democrat party has to be ‘totally dismantled.’ [snip]Adams pointed out that the Democrat party is supported not just by a small group of progressive billionaires, but also by an endless web of non-profits and various NGOs (non-government organizations). Adams[snip]took the murder of Charlie Kirk personally and that Democrats not only spread the rhetoric that led to this, they have actually made it worse in the two days that followed.

A man who was arrested on suspicion of capital murder is alleged to have beheaded the manager of a Dallas motel and left the victim’s head in a trash bin, court records obtained Thursday show. When authorities took Yordanis Cobos-Martinez into custody Wednesday, he was covered in blood and armed with the machete he is accused of using to kill Chandra Nagamallaiah, 50, according to an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant. Jail records show Cobos-Martinez, 37, is being held without bond in the Dallas County Jail on an immigration detainer. The records identify him as an undocumented immigrant.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Friday morning during a joint press conference with the FBI that law enforcement had taken Tyler Robinson into custody in connection with the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The arrest comes 33 hours after the deadly shooting at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot during a public appearance.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him,” Cox told reporters in a solemn briefing. He explained that the breakthrough came after a family member of Robinson reached out to authorities on the evening of Sept. 11.
