In a week when we were supposed to be honoring the slain champion of free speech, Charlie Kirk, we have been seeing it get slaughtered from the highest echelons of power
This has not been a good week for freedom of speech in America.
Let’s start with what went down in Michigan and then we’ll get to the federal level and what the Trump administration is threatening to do that would put a big chill on free speech, no matter if you count yourself as part of the “left” or “right.”
In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim mayor shocked the city with his threats against a Christian resident who dared to speak out against the city’s glorification of violent jihad. (hat tip to Bob Unruh at World Net Daily)
Mayor Abdullah Hammoud scolded resident Ted Barham, a Christian, saying, “Although you live here, you are not welcome here.”
Barham had objected to renaming some intersections in Dearborn after Osama Siblani, the publisher of Arab American News who has promoted Hezbollah and Hamas. In short, the mayor is inserting the city into the controversial Arab-Israeli Middle East conflict and then expecting his residents to sit back and shut up about it.
Hammoud issued an ominous threat for Barham to pretend not to see the signs he was seeing.
In the wide open at a city council meeting, the mayor responded:
“The best suggestion I have for you is to not drive on Warren Avenue or close your eyes while you’re doing it. His name is up there and I spoke at a ceremony celebrating it because he’s done a lot for his community.”
The Muslim mayor then resorted to a personal attack on Barham, a longtime resident of the city, accusing Barham of being “a bigot, and you are racist, and you’re an Islamophobe. Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city.”
As a side note to this story, always be wary of anyone who is quick to slap their political opponents with labels such as “Islamophobic” or “anti-semitic.” It’s an old trick to dehumanize and devalue people with opposing opinions. I find it interesting that there is no pjorative term for people who hate Christians. When’s the last time you heard a media outlet label someone as “Christophobic?” I rest my case. Christians are the one people group everyone is allowed to hate.
Fox News reported the signs in Dearborn actually were approved by the Wayne County commission, as the road is a county road, but the signs are inside Dearborn.
The Christian resident, Mr. Barham, compared the signs to naming a road “Hezbollah Street” or “Hamas Street,” and said giving the honor to Siblani was provocative.
He calmly explained that, as a Christian, he promoted peace. And Hezbollah was not a peaceful organization. Here’s how the Muslim mayor of Dearborn responded.
Now let’s move on to the federal level and the Trump administration.
Ironically, in a week when we were supposed to be honoring a champion of free speech, Charlie Kirk, we have been seeing it get slaughtered from the highest echelons of power.
First, we had Attorney General Pam Bondi threatening to arrest Americans guilty of “hate speech.” Watch below as she casually crucifies the First Amendment.
Instead of recanting or rebuking Bondi’s statement, President Trump doubled down on it. He clarified that Bondi meant exactly what she said, that those speaking out of line will be prosecuted criminally.
That’s right, Trump on Tuesday threatened to use the power of the United States Department of Justice against journalists who he believes aren’t treating him fairly.
ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl pressed the president about Bondi’s proposed crackdown on so-called hate speech, which outraged many conservative supporters of the president.
Karl asked the president about whether Bondi’s comments were appropriate following Charlie Kirk’s death and given the fact that many of the president’s most ardent supporters don’t buy into the whole narrative that someone’s speech could be criminalized. Is it now a crime to hate someone or something and to voice those thoughts? Are we prosecuting thought crimes now in the “land of the free?”
Trump’s response was astonishing. He replied that Bondi should go after journalists like Karl because they “have a lot of hate” in their heart for him.
Trump looked Karl in the eye and said:
“She’d probably go after people like you! Because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate! You have a lot of hate in your heart!”
The president of the United States is now verbally threatening a member of the media under the color of law because he doesn’t think they are giving him fair coverage? We hear of that sort of thing in Xi’s China and Putin’s Russia, but in America?
Even talking this way is playing with constitutional fire. The holder of the highest office in the land just threatened to lock up journalists who don’t treat him “fairly.” That’s code for, they didn’t give him favorable coverage. That got me thinking: Have I given Trump favorable coverage? Did I give Joe Biden favorable coverage? No. I’ve actually been quite critical, which is exactly the kind of speech the First Amendment was designed to protect. Without the freedom to criticize our government, we have no claim of self-governance or personal sovereignty. Democracy is dead.
As egregious as Trump’s comments to Jonathan Karl were, I hope it is just talk, an empty threat, and not something Trump would seriously pursue as a policy.
If this type of policy is pursued by Trump, you can bet your last dollar that when the pendulum swings and the White House falls under Democrat power, they will invoke the same unconstitutional measures against journalists who exhibit a conservative bent in their coverage of politics and culture. All manner of conservative news outlets will be gutted. And I don’t think anyone on our side wants to see that happen.
Our Constitution, not the current inhabitant of the White House, must serve as the final arbiter of the law of the land.
Then on Wednesday, the whole Jimmy Kimmel saga went down, with the Trump administration pressuring ABC to can Kimmel’s late-night talk show.
When questioned about Kimmel’s dismissal Thursday during a joint press conference with British PM Keir Starmer in London, Trump celebrated Kimmel’s removal, saying, “Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person.”
The decision to ditch Kimmel came just a few hours after the Trump administration official responsible for licensing ABC’s local stations publicly pressured the company to punish Kimmel.
Don’t get me wrong. I have never been a Jimmy Kimmel fan. But last I checked, it wasn’t up to the president to decide which individuals are talented or not talented and thus qualified to appear on national television. That’s called censorship, which is typically the domaine of authoritarian regimes.

In other news, Ukraine expects there will be around $3.5 billion by next month in a fund to buy weapons from the United States that will allow it to continue the West’s more than 3-year-old proxy war against Russia.
The availability of this money for arms deal was confirmed Wednesday by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to AP, the financial arrangement known as the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, pools contributions from NATO members, except the United States, to purchase American weapons, munitions and equipment.
Zelenskyy said at a joint news conference in Kiev with visiting European Parliament President Roberta Metsola:
“We received more than $2 billion from our partners specifically for the PURL program. We will receive additional money in October. I think we will have somewhere around $3.5-3.6 billion.”
So the war rolls on. Don’t believe it when you hear Starmer, Macron, Trump or Merz say they want this war to end. It’s a bananza for their military armaments makers.

The state of New Jersey approved a bill this week that legalizes human composting, an alternative to traditional burials in which a corpse is transformed into nutrient-rich soil that loved ones can use to feed their favorite houseplant or scatter like ashes in their backyard.
Human composting, more formally known as natural organic reduction, has skyrocketed in popularity post Covid.
New Jersey is the 14th state to have legalized the practice over the last six years.
The human composting process isn’t nearly as speedy as cremation but is gaining in popularity nonetheless.
The entire ordeal takes 45 days as “the body is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil,” according to Earth Funeral’s website. Earth Funeral has been at the forefront of human composting since Washington, where the company is based, became the first state to legalize the practice in 2019.
The surreal process is reminiscent of the 1973 movie, Soylent Green, starring Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson.
Here’s the official trailer for that sci-fi movie, which in 2025 is no longer sci-fi.

Fuck you if you think it’s okay for news outlets to continue to call us Nazi’s and Fascists and to lie about us killing Charlie Kirk. This is not a freedom of speech issue.

One kid got fired because his dad said the n word 30 years ago. No one cared. Biden had the FBI, and even the Post Office, going through social media, having our posts taken down and kicked off the platform. Even DJT got kicked off. Conservatives were routinely debanked, even Owen Benjamin’s wife was kicked off being able to rent their air b&b off a platform. So don’t give me your fucking crocodile tears that Trump is coming after your free speech. They’re trying to dehumanize us and kill us. The libs take away free speech. But you don’t fucking care about free speech. It is never free speech to encourage killing. So fuck you asshole.

Thanks for considering it calm and measured. Charlie Kirk was the calm and measured person, but he was killed, so there’s not many of us left. To claim there is anything similar to kicking off Kimmel and the previous abuse of freedom of speech is nauseating and absurd. It is a slap in the face. They took Roseanne off the air simply because she supported Trump. All we ask is that the media does not facilitate murder by false statements that entice their lackeys to murder all of us. And after these last few years of the left totally silencing our free speech, it just makes me want to throw up that anyone would even imply this is a free speech situation. I just want to puke. And besides, this is a public airwaves where you specifically don’t have freedom to say anything you want. I grew up in this, where were you? I worked at TV stations.

It’s worth noting that most Americans are descended from immigrants.
White supremacist ideologies often distort history to justify exclusionary or racist beliefs, including the false notion of being “native” to a land which was actually colonized by their ancestors.
What annoys me, is , when they hijack Christianity and use it to create a new identity for themselves and then use it as a banner to beat up on Muslims.
It’s not Muslims who are committing the majority of mass murders.
The majority of mass shootings are carried out by white men, many of whom have been radicalised by “replacement theory” or anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Muslims form a low percentage of immigrants
“The largest immigrant groups in the U.S. come from Mexico, India, China, and the Philippines.”
There is no justification for separating the Muslim community and then mounting a campaign of hatred against then and targeting them for rejection.
The notion that Islam is about to take over America is nonsense and has no foundation in truth.
The Muslim community is generally law abiding and hard working and should not be dehumanised and hated just because of their religion.
I believe that the greatest threat to America is Zionism, so, why doesn’t Leo examine the threat which Zionism poses to the American nation.

And your statement about Islam being a peace-loving religion is downright ludicrous. Go tell that to the Christians in Nigeria or the DRC or Somalia or Yemen or Saudi Arabia. Or the Armenian Christians who were slaughtered by the Muslim invaders in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Or the Egyptian Coptic Christians who were slaughtered and made into second-class citizens when the Muslims invaded their native lands. I suggest you read the works of Raymond Ibrahim, a Coptic Christian from Egypt to get a grasp of this history. Yes, there are a few examples in history where Christian, Jewish and Islamic people lived in peace (Albania is one), but that is more the exception than the rule.

“And your statement about Islam being a peace-loving religion is downright ludicrous.“
This is not what I said.
Here’s what I actually said.;
“The Muslim community is generally law abiding and hard working and should not be dehumanised and hated just because of their religion.“
I was responding to the comment by ‘LongTimeTexan’ which said;
The slimy Muslim Mayor does not belong in this country. Deport the basturd.
Islam and the rest of the world are not compatible.“
The fact is that Muslims are contributing to America despite the hatred of people ‘LongTimeTexan’
As Kayjae rightly pointed out . :
The muslim mayor of Dearborn is a natural-born American citizen.
‘LongTimeTexan’ is demonising this mayor because he is a Muslim. This is not good enough reason to hate on the mayor.
So, my comment was in this context. I was showing how Muslims are less of a threat than other communities.
With regard to the atrocities committed against Christians in Africa, we know that there is politics at play and it’s not simply a matter of Islam v Christianity.
“Groups like Boko Haram and Fulani militants in Nigeria have targeted Christians, but their motives often blend religious extremism with territorial control, ethnic rivalry, and political instability.”
“European colonial powers often imposed Christianity while favoring certain ethnic or religious groups, sowing division that persists today.
Post-independence governments inherited these fractured societies and sometimes weaponized religion to consolidate power.”
And with regard to historical events , we know of atrocities committed by both Muslims and Christians , including the Roman Catholic church and let’s not forget the crusades.
In both cases religion has been hijacked by evil doers.
The truth is that the Middle East and Africa have been colonised and exploited by so called Christian nations, either directly or through their proxies which has resulted in the situations we see happening today.
The truth is that Islam is not the threat to Americans that it’s being made out to be.
So, the best you can do is pick on pick on a Muslim mayor and his response to a trouble maker and then make a mountain out of a molehill.
It’s interesting that you were not bothered to challenge the unwarented hatred expressed by ‘LongTimeTexan’ towards a fellow American citizen.
So, if the response of a mayor to a trouble maker has you up in arms, then what does that say about you.

Let’s get the whole perspective on this Dearborn confrontation. I agree that the mayor was out of line by angrily telling Barham that he didn’t belong in Dearborn, for objecting to their street sign. But I think Barham was out of line, too, as he picked the wrong fight. The offending street sign was an honorary one (it’s even a different colored from regular street signs, like most honorary street signs are). It didn’t change the name of the street. It was placed above two intersection signs in the heart of the Dearborn Arab-American business district. It was to honor their favorite son—Osama Siblani, a 2013 inductee in the Michigan Journalist Hall of Fame. His Arab-American newspaper naturally represents the Arab point of view—NOT that of Israel. If his newspaper sees Hezbollah and Hamas as heroes, how is that different from American black newspapers which extol their heroes, some of whom (black muslim or voodoo adherents) whites would find frightening? Yet there is no objection from white Christians over what they print, who they support. Black communities have also given honorary names of their heroes to streets in their districts, even officially changing the street name. And how about what Irish-American did during Northern Ireland’s “Time of Trouble” during the 60s-70s? They took sides in that conflict, even gave funds and arms to whichever side they supported, helping to fuel the killing. No non-Irish-American got upset about that, as I recall. If you look at the ethnic newspapers of our European ancestors, you’ll see many of them taking sides in the conflicts of the old countries, extolling their heroes as freedom fighters that some Americans might call terrorists. And we can’t fail to have the Arab-Israeli conflict turn up here in little ways–after all, our tax dollars pay billions and billions for it overseas and we don’t seriously object to that. I say Barham stupidly picked the wrong fight and all he accomplished was to provoke the mayor into reacting harshly to Barham’s demand as an ethnic/religious attack.
Dearborn’s Arab population is 55% of the total. Mostly Lebanese (originally Christians immigrating there 100 years ago),Yemeni, Syrian and some Palestinians. In recent years, it became largely muslim. Like most American immigration throughout our history, immigrants remain for years keenly concerned about their home countries. They try to hang to their culture, religion and have concern for the relatives back in the old countries. These concerns are what Osama Siblani addresses in his newspaper and the Arab-Americans of Dearborn honored him with a sign. It means no more than that—it’s not a jihad thing. If they see Hezbollah and Hamas as their heroes—well, what does anyone expect? They have freedom of speech, too and they pay taxes like the rest of us.
Let’s not be quick to go to war with each other, seeing the other side—whatever it is—automatically as the enemy. If we’re concerned about freedom of speech, then we have to learn how to talk to each other and not just posture.

A rare comment of yours Kayjae that doesn’t seem very well thought out. This mayor does not seem like one who wants to talk or debate but rather wants to condescend and lord his power over his subjects. He encountered one of his subjects who appeared a little too uppity and promptly kicked him to the curb in the most rude and disrespectful fashion he could muster. The resident was calm, followed the rules of order, and totally within his rights to petition his local government with a grievance, no matter how frivolous some might have considered it. He was due the respect of a tax-paying, rule-following citizen to at least be listened to whether or not the mayor agreed with his statement. The mayor was not just arrogant and wrong, he was way out of line.

Leo—Right at the start, I did say that the mayor was out of line. I also said Barham was out of line, too. Yes, strictly speaking, he does have the right to petition and freedom of speech. Because of the mayor’s over-the-top bad reaction, the media is busy depicting Barham nearly as a Christian martyr. But I don’t buy it. As I said, I think Barham picked the wrong fight and I explained why I think his petitioning caused a needless provocation. According to the Daily Mail UK article about this incident, it was the county that gave permission for this sign, not the city council. Perhaps Barham should have taken his issue before the county? And there was some other background issues involving Barham and the mayor’s mosque that may have poisoned the atmosphere between these two prior to this incident.
The mayor should certainly apologize for his reaction. Yet—strictly speaking– he had the right to say what he did and unload upon Barham in the disrespectful manner. Isn’t that free speech? But yet, we know that’s not really so. His position dictates he is supposed to be mayor of a whole city with all its ethnicities, not just represent one. So yes, he was wrong to stomp upon a petitioner. Instead, he should have patiently explained why it was their newspaper editor being honored with a sign in their neighborhood, not Hezbollah and Hamas, as Barham suggested. (With all the blow back, we’ll see if the mayor apologizes.)
We abhor those who use “freedom of speech” to vilify Charlie Kirk since his death. So we should because it’s easy to see that the freedom of speech was being used for the wrong purpose—to spread hate. Then the opposite side zings right back at them, almost as brutally. Nevertheless “freedom of speech”–no matter what kind—is sacrosanct and so a violently worded spectacle is allowed to play out online. But leading to what? Freedom of speech actually carries a certain responsibility (at least that’s what the Founding Fathers thought). It was meant for a people to come to a common understanding about issues through debate, not to unloose violent and sinful passions upon each other.
If one is going to use freedom of speech and the right to petition, use it with wisdom. deliberation and charity. IMO, Barham did not use it well. It sounded like it was meant to needlessly irritate and, in any case, it was presented before the wrong venue.

The moment we tear it up to pander to fear and xenophobic propaganda, which is what you and this administration are doing—there is no more America.
When Catholics began immigrating here in great numbers in the 19th century, the true-blue Protestant Americans wanted them deported. It spawned a lot of conflict between them for decades, just like in the old countries. The KKK regularly had Catholics on their hit list, for example. The Catholic presence was a big issue during the 1960 election when JFK had to explain over and over to Protestant bigots that he was not a Vatican or a Jesuit agent, working to overthrow America.
And since you are keen to deport muslims as anti-American regardless of citizenship status, maybe you ought to leave with them. Strictly speaking, you don’t belong here either. Your ancestors invaded this land, robbed the ancient and true inhabitants of their human rights and their lands, and when they refused to submit to our criminal intent, our army exterminated or exiled them. Nothing righteous about how this land became “our land”.
If you had researched the story more, you would have seen that the Mayor of Dearborn reacted in a hot-headed way because the “Christian” (so-called) had been harassing those people for some time. So he lost his temper and blew up at him for a comment that old fool made that was meant to be obstructionist and provoke a donnybrook. The “Christian” got his 15 minutes of fame and the conservative media casts him as a “martyr”, but it’s being used as a propaganda ploy to get everyone hating each other. Quit falling for it. Islam is not the Trojan horse here. Get wise–you are getting played by other forces who using the fear of muslims to cover their own dirty business against America. And in case, you’re wondering–I am more conservative than you and no muslim or democrat. I have no love for Islam.

I do not recall any Muslim riots happening in America.
“The greatest threat to Christian congregations in the U.S. isn’t Islam—it’s domestic extremism, often fuelled by white supremacy.”
“Muslims are not attacking churches in America. Most church shootings have been committed by white men with personal or ideological motives.”
The far right, need to stop scapegoating Muslims when it’s clear that white
Americans are responsible for most of the mass shootings in America.
With regard to politics it’s clear that it is the Zionists who have taken over America and have dictated American foreign policy whereby thousands of American soldiers have been sent to the Middle East to die.
Billions upon billions of American tax payers have been spent on munitions in order to murder innocent civilians, whether it be in Iraq or Palestine.
But that’s ok with you because your mind has been warped by the Satanic dispensationalist/Christian Zionist narrative.
The truth is that Muslim Americans are statistically far less likely to commit acts of violence against Christian communities despite the paranoid ramblings of the ‘far right’ who are armed to the teeth and who are often dangerously radicalised.
The mayor responded to Barnham’s continued provocations against Muslims. He properly identified Barnham for what he is. Barnham is a trouble maker. And decent , law abiding neighbourhoods don’t want trouble makers in their midst.
If you don’t like the use of legitimate words then that is your problem. Words are for communication but you are not interested in a reasonable conversation. You just continue spewing out your mantra of hatred for Muslims whilst ignoring the facts which have been pointed out to you.
