No One Is Laughing, Jimmy Kimmel

David Blaska, Blaska Policy Werkes - September 18, 2025

Aside from part-time jobs at the porcelain factory in Sun Prairie and an iron foundry in Oshkosh, Blaska made his living (such as it was) on the back of the First Amendment.

So it was disheartening to hear this morning my old friend Mizz Vicki barking over the AM airwaves defending government censorship of late-night TV personality Jimmy Kimmel — or more to the point, the threat of same. We say that a) because we can (the free speech thing again) and b) because Mizz Vicki herself has uttered risible calumnies against the political Left — many of them true, most of them well deserved.

The ABC television network announced that it was pulling Kimmel’s show off the air “indefinitely.” No, we never watched it either but this latest chapter in The Great Sorting Out has the First Amendment back in prime time. During his opening monologue Monday 09-15-2025 Mr. Kimmel editorialized:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel was factually wrong. Hellz bellz, it was another damnable progressive lie, politically motivated, and mean-spirited. Classic example of Saul Alinsky’s tactic: accuse others of that for which you are guilty. The Utah County district attorney related that Robinson’s mother said her son “had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented.” Think about it, why would MAGA kill one of its own? It’s absurd!
