Soft power in politics (particularly international politics) is the ability to co-opt rather than coerce (in contrast with hard power). It involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. Soft power is non-coercive, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change. In 2012, Joseph Nye of Harvard University explained that with soft power, "the best propaganda is not propaganda," further explaining that during the Information Age, "credibility is the scarcest resource"[1].

Charlie Kirk wanted to go Catholic like Candace Owens, disgusted by
"Judeo-Christian" propaganda term to make us all feel like we
have to support Israel's settler colonial genocide project
Oct. 28, 2025: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CHARLIE KIRK INVESTIGATION? Nuthin. Dir. KA$H Patel and Dan the Man Bongino already solved it and signed off on the cover up. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Candace Owens is taking a lot of heat for continuing to question and tug at loose ends concerning the so-called FBI "investigation" into Charlie Kirk's public assassination by some Mossad-like agency, perhaps the CIA or FBI or just Kirk's own Israeli security detail.
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Agree with TYT's take? 🔥 Tired of corporate media? Get b*llsy news and bold commentary from TYT, except they fired Jimmy Dore for being too b*llsy and too bold, so find him and his team at TJDS.

(The Kim Iversen Show, Oct. 23, 2025) Pres. Trump threatens to pull all U.S. (CIA, Pentagon, NSA, NSC) support from the settler colonial project (occupation, invasion, land theft) that calls itself the state of Israel if it annexes the West Bank, a small remaining portion of Palestine illegally occupied by occupiers who call themselves "settlers."
Jewish Zionist American businessman attorney Steve Witkoff (born 1957) is an American real estate developer, investor, and founder of the Witkoff Group. Since 2025, Witkoff is the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East. He began his career as a real estate attorney and later expanded into major property development in New York and Florida. And Trump likes him.
Jared Kushner and Dictator Bibi make deals.
Jewish American Jared Kushner (born 1981) is Trump's son-n-law and a billionaire businessman and investor. Through his marriage to Pres. Trump's Jewish daughter Ivanka [who is possibly Pres. Trump's former lover incest victim] he has served as a senior advisor in his father-in-law's first U.S. presidential administration from 2017 to 2021. He was also director of the Office of American Innovation. And suddenly he's involved again in current plans to take over the West Bank and Palestine.
Since exposed fraud/Republican [gay, Jew-ish, Latino] Congressman George Santos of New York won’t speak with the reporters in Congress, Jimmy Kimmel thought he would go straight to the source and talk to Rep. Santos (as portrayed by Nelson Franklin) personally and get some answers.
(CBS News)
Oct. 17, 2025: President King Trump announced that he has commuted (which is almost as good as fully pardoning) former New York Rep. George Santos' sentence today (Friday). White House reporter Willie James Inman has more details.
Jimmy Kimmel, what do you say about Santos? - Here's Wet Leg!
(The Young Turks) While walking up the Capitol steps to work recently, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was accosted and sexually harassed as she tried to get to her office. Ana Kasparian and cohost Cenk Uygur discuss the incident on TYT.
AOC states: "Here is a video he [the pervert] posted of the incident. I was actually walking over to deck him [with my fist] because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself, but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today." (See uncensored video: AOC/X).
Is this "sexual harassment"? (Should Bernie be getting so handsy?)
Sexual harassment is a type of harassment based on the biological sex or cultural gender of a target.
It can involve offensive sexist or sexual behavior, verbal or physical actions, up to bribery, coercion, and assault [without physical contact].
Harassment may be explicit or implicit, with some examples including
making unwanted sexual remarks,
actions that insult and degrade by gender,
showing pornography,
demanding or requesting sexual favors,
offensive sexual advances, and
any other unwelcome physical, verbal, or non-verbal (sometimes provocative) conduct based on sex [1].
Sexual harassment includes a range of actions from verbal transgressions to sexual abuse or assault [2]. Harassment can occur in many different social settings such as the workplace, the home, school, or religious institutions. Harassers or victims can be of any gender [3]. More
Move to White House or Senate?
Elect me to fight oligarchy with VP Bernie!
(Axios) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for the White House or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation. Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez's 2028 decision could shake up the presidential race or the Senate's leadership. A fellow New Yorker, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 74, is up for re-election in 2028. More
CNN recently broke down a poll for early choices for a democratic presidential nominee in 2028, which found that AOC is currently polling at 12% behind California Gov.

SUMMARY: Police said the right-wing suspect, Thomas Jacob Sanford, drove his American flag strewn pickup truck into The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS in Michigan before firing, killing and injuring a dozen people, and setting the building on fire. Police then killed Sanford in a shootout, officials said.
Church shooter opened fire on hundreds of Mormon worshippers is pictured in Donald Trump shirt
My warrior may have shot up Church, but Israelis shot Charlie Kirk, not me, uh, I mean, did not...
(The Independent) A Sunday worship [yesterday, Sept. 28th, 2025] service turned into a scene of horror when an American gunman [Iraq War veteran and mass murderer] rammed his Chevy pickup into a Mormon church in Michigan before opening fire on congregants and setting the building on fire, killing four people and injuring at least eight others.
Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, was identified as the suspect, police said during a press conference on Sunday evening. The attack unfolded around 10:25 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, about 50 miles north of Detroit, according to police.
Hundreds of people, including children, were inside at the time of the shooting. After the suspect smashed his pickup truck with two American flags affixed to the bed through the front doors of the church, Sanford emerged with an assault rifle and began firing on worshippers, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said.
Look, Jeffrey Epstein, this capital is MY capital. I'll see you on Kiddie Island soon.
His reign of terror continued as he intentionally set a fire that turned into a massive blaze, police said. It was brought under control just before 1:00 pm. As the suspect fled the church, he exchanged gunfire with two officers and was killed. More: the-independent.com
“Ratings for the big three 11:30 pm network talk shows [with hosts Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers] have dropped sharply since 2015,” LateNighter reports.
This chart [at right] compares yearly ratings (2010-2025) of CBS’s “The Late Show,” NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Only capitalism should control network TV?
According to the LateNighter analysis: All three shows have lost 70-80% of their audience in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 age range since 2015.
Network late-night talk shows became unprofitable in 2023. Brand advertising expenditures on late-night television in 2024 fell to half the 2018 level.
“In 2015, the typical 11:30 pm talk show brought in well over $200 million in revenue and made a healthy profit.”
“By 2023, the same show was underwater, and by 2025, losses are well into the tens of millions of dollars.”
To make matters worse, cost-cutting efforts by late-night shows haven’t been able to make up for increased costs, such as salaries. And episodes of late-night talk shows don’t age well, so they have virtually no market for rerun syndication. More

Okay, fine: it’s Tegna. With a name like “Tegna” you’ve just gotta serve complimentary garlic knots. End of discussion.

And by cancelled we mean "suspended indefinitely" and by Trump we mean the Powers That Be at Nexstar Media Group, who threatened to preempt JKL from here on in, with Bob Iger/Disney-owned ABC network, rushing to say they would suspend Kimmel.
Jimmy Kimmel's show pulled 'indefinitely' by ABC after Charlie Kirk remarks
I am the Dictator, so I get what I want!!!
(CNN) Sept. 17, 2025: Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night comedy talk show off the air immediately and indefinitely amid an exaggerated controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said, declining to share any further details. #CNN #News
Billionaire Trump has a lot of rich friends trying to get richer. And one great way to do that is to kiss up to the Orange King.
The biting satire of Kimmel every night gets under Donald's skin worse than Stephen Colbert used to.
First they came for me. I fell.
So he had to go, and brownnosers trying to sidle up to Trump have always been looking for a way. One finally found one when, returning from summer break, Kimmel dared to comment on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, daring to suggest that the real killer was "one of them" (a right winger MAGA Trump fan) not a person on the Left. This was enough to seize on.
And the head of an owner-operator [CEO Perry Sook or COO Michael Biard] said Jimmy Kimmel Live would be preempted instead of appearing on their network (Nexstar Media Group) of affiliated stations under the control of the kisser-upper. And when the money stream is threatened, Disney pays attention.
Wow, ouch, maybe I should shush
Kimmel is now "suspended indefinitely," which with no unsuspension date really means cancelled, fired, dropped, banned, censored, terminated, destroyed... What will right wing best friend comedian Adam Corolla have to say about this, torn between friendship and his severely right-wing pro-Israel (pro-Praeger U) politics.
REASON TO KISS UP: It seems Nexstar was seeking an approval for a $6.2 billion merger, awaiting federal and/or Trump administration approval.
There has been NO public meltdown (yet).
So as to curry favor with Trump, who is currently having his English muffin kissed in England by British royalty, Nexstar thought it was advantageous to get Kimmel out of Trump's hair. Disney/ABC caught on and saved Nexstar the trouble of changing its programming. Now, currently in Hollywood near Grauman's Chinese Theater, where Kimmel filmed his show, the building is being locked down so none of the hundreds of workers on the show get in.
