Three Democrats out of the 58 who actively voted against the Charlie Kirk resolution in the House of Representatives earlier this month have popped off with hagiographic statements about Joanne Chesimard, the unrepentant cop killer and one-woman crime wave who fled to Cuba rather than face justice for her crimes.
Chesimard, who called herself Assata Shakur for some reason, was 78.
EDMONTON — The University of Alberta says a law professor is back on the job after being placed on leave over social media posts surrounding the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
But the educator at the Edmonton-based school says questions remain over why it happened in the first place.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson appeared in court on Monday but hid his face during the hearing.
Robinson, 22, and his newly appointed legal counsel asked to have his waiver hearing postponed and did not enter a plea.
Utah’s court system gives people accused of crimes an option to waive their legal right to a preliminary hearing and instead schedule an arraignment where they can enter a plea.
Thursday night’s season premiere of Law & Order: SVU portrayed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as cold-hearted villains who hinder the unit’s efforts to convict a rapist.
On Thursday’s episode, “In the Wind,” a building superintendent named Jorge Ruiz (Juan Francisco Villa) identifies a rape suspect in the apartment complex where he works. His eyewitness testimony is key evidence.
The violent rhetoric of a climate demonstration held in Berlin on Saturday, September 20th, has led to a request for a parliamentary inquiry, at the initiative of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) MP Markus Matzerath.
During the protest, organized by ‘Fridays for Future,’ calls for violence—including incitement to murder—were openly displayed and, alarmingly, echoed by prominent figures. One protester brandished a sign reading ‘BURN THE OLD WHITE MEN,’ in a stark example of the radical tone permeating the event.
With the usual linguistic caution that censors the truth of things, we speak of “incivility”, “violent fringes,” “urban violence” or “youthful excesses” to describe those who set Italian cities ablaze in the name of Gaza, but in reality, this is one of the most alarming symptoms of a phenomenon that far exceeds the limits of a news story or occasional social disorder.
It is, on a Western scale, a real insurrection, intermittent but persistent, led by a significant portion of woke-ized youth and those of Muslim and immigrant origin, against institutions representing democratic order. An internal intifada—not for the sake of provocation, but because the word means what it must: a revolt against a power perceived as illegitimate, hostile, and oppressive.

A woman on the FBI’s most wanted terrorists list convicted of killing a New Jersey State Police trooper more than 50 years ago has died in Cuba, where she fled after an armed prison escape.
Joanne Debora Byron, also known as Joanne Chesimard and Assata Shakur, died in Havana at age 78 due to “health conditions and advanced age,” the Cuba Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday.
The State Department is implementing a new policy after the death of Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk. It will ban foreigners who have made celebratory or mocking comments about the assassination.
Famous and fired.
Canadian leftist Devon Cassidy, who worked at @legalaidbc, has been fired. She posted a video of herself hysterically laughing and celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Legal Aid BC has released a statement calling her now a “former employee.”

Notes written by the person who opened fire on an immigration facility in Texas indicate he was targeting ICE agents and did not intend to harm detainees, officials said.
One detainee was killed and two others critically injured after a suspected sniper opened fire at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in Dallas on Wednesday.
The suspected gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement officials said.
Broadcaster Keith Olbermann has become ever more embittered and isolated as his work and influence have dried up, with former colleagues worried he needs “serious help,” The Post has learned.
Olbermann, 66, railed against members of the Trump administration on social media this week as well as threatening conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings with “you’re next motherf—er,” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The Department of Homeland Security had warned about radicalization threats posed to youth audiences within certain online platforms, such as Discord, over seven months before the murder of Charlie Kirk.
The warning came in a January intelligence assessment, according to documents shared with the Washington Examiner.
The American Left has a long history of celebrating or excusing purveyors of mayhem.
In 2011, Martin McGuinness, the former leader of the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army), ran for president of the Republic of Ireland. Over the four decades of his public life, McGuinness had moved from supporting terrorism, including assassination, for political ends to pursuing votes through the ballot box. Some now feted him as a “peacemaker.” But to many voters, his personal journey from the use of violence to the use of democratic means to achieve a united Ireland still seemed like a work in progress.
Recently, the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) released its 2025 report, assessing that there was no educational progress. Called the Nation’s Report Card, NAEP measures math, reading, and science performance in fourth, eighth, and 12th grades. Scores on all three tests administered in 2024 were down from 2019 results.
“Students from the class of 2024 had historically low scores on a major national test administered just months before they graduated,” as one media report described the results. Education Secretary Linda McMahon lamented that the “NAEP results confirm a devastating trend: American students are testing at historic lows across all of K-12.”

Transgender Americans are seeing a wave of hate unleashed by Charlie Kirk’s killing
On the day anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was shot, fear rippled through the left that the far right would seize the moment to consolidate power. Nowhere was that fear more acute than in the transgender community.
Within hours, Republicans were already blaming trans people; one commentator even claimed the bullets carried “transgender symbols”, a claim investigators quickly debunked. But the deeper fear wasn’t misinformation – it was the crackdown that would follow. With fragile rights hanging by the thread of court rulings and blue-state protections, trans people braced for the worst. And they were right: The right has seized on the shooting as its own Reichstag fire, accelerating a campaign to target transgender existence – now with the full weight of the Trump administration behind it.
Denver shooter was trans
The Aberdeen shooter was trans
The Nashville shooter was trans
The Philadelphia shooter was trans
The Iowa shooter was gender fluid
The Colorado STEM school shooter was trans.
This is not unique and we need to be praying for a culture that endorses… pic.twitter.com/KBKdcxZKwW
