The Witch Hunt on Charlie Kirk

from An Americanist · host Carol Marks

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITReady for a wild news day? We're diving into three jaw-dropping stories that'll have you questioning reality.First up, a truly disturbing revelation: a Jezebel writer proudly admitted to hiring witches from Etsy to curse Charlie Kirk just days before his assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. As Megyn Kelly revealed, Kirk's widow Erica was deeply shaken by these curses, even seeking spiritual guidance from a Catholic priest. The timing – with the article published September 8th and the assassination occurring just two days later – adds an extra layer of darkness to an already horrifying situation. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, the normalization of wishing harm on political opponents should concern us all.From human malevolence to nature's terrors, our second story takes us to Texas beaches where massive pink jellyfish with 70-foot tentacles are washing ashore. These aptly-named "pink meanies" weigh up to 50 pounds and weren't even classified as a distinct species until 2011. How such enormous creatures evaded scientific categorization for so long remains a mystery – and a compelling reason to reconsider that ocean swim on your next beach vacation.Finally, some accountability in the tech world as Google announces it will reinstate YouTube accounts that were removed following pressure from the Biden administration over COVID-19 content. This confirmation of government-influenced censorship affects prominent voices like Dan Bongino, Sebastian Gorka, and Steve Bannon, raising critical questions about free speech and the dangers of labeling dissenting viewpoints as "misinformation."What creature gives you the creeps?
