HEALING: Some of Kelly's complaints seem crazy!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2025

Sadly, some of them don't: It's been argued—not crazily—that James Comey got President Trump elected the first time around.

That's a reference to Comey's press events about Candidate Clinton on July 5, 2016, and then again on October 26, two weeks before that year's fateful election.

It's been argued that those controversial pressers may have tipped the narrowly decided election over to Candidate Trump. We don't know if that's a plausible claim, but the claim doesn't seem to be crazy.

James Comey, then the head of the FBI, may have delivered the White House to Trump! Despite that possibility, it had to happen:

Given the craziness of the times, "the storm" has finally come for Comey himself! It came in the form of a federal indictment written in crayon on manila paper by a brand new MAGA star.

However bogus that indictment may turn out be, the storm may spread to other such targets. That brings us back to the cri de coeur emitted last weekend by Megyn Kelly.

In yesterday's report, we showed you what Kelly said. Once again, the background is this:

It's been widely reported that Tom Homan accepted a big bag of cash last fall from undercover FBI agents. Given a chance to deny that report, Homan didn't do so.

Is it true? Did Tom Homan accept a bribe in the form of a big bag of cash? Kelly offered a somewhat surprising initial response:

"We DO NOT CARE," she posted, aligning herself with the storm.

We DO NOT CARE, she said. Then, in a lengthy post, Kelly explained that surprising stance. With apologies, it's important to look, then to look again and again, at the shape of the storm in question.

In her post, Kelly was pushing back against MSNBC's report about Homan. Below, you can once again see what she said. In our view, you can see the ultimate shape of the storm in the first and the last things she said:

KELLY (9/20/25): We don’t trust you. We don’t trust the work of your president’s DOJ. We don’t trust the work of your president’s FBI. 

You indicted our presidential candidate 4x with made-up BS charges trying to put him in jail for life. You changed laws so he could be civilly sued by a woman who didn’t even remember what year her alleged “rape” by him was. 

You let an AG who ran for office promising to “get Trump” try to bankrupt him on a claim so specious even the NY appellate court scoffed at it & had to reverse the damage award. 

One of yours killed Charlie and then you laughed at our pain, protested our vigils & said Charlie was to blame and in hell. You lied about the killer’s motives & said he was MAGA when you knew he wasn’t. You put us all in danger by not admitting the truth and then not relenting on the lies you tell about us. You cried endless tears for Jimmy Kimmel but none for Charlie.

You gleefully cancelled all of us for five+ years and danced when we suffered. You censored us & ruined careers of distinguished doctors & others who dared to say the truth during Covid and George Floyd. You cost our children years of learning during lockdowns and endangered them with deadly myocarditis by burying the risk disclosures and never apologized or owned it.

Your govt tried to strong arm Fox into firing Tucker bc of his J6 coverage and you said not a peep about the first amendment.

You changed Title IX with the stroke of a pen, without consent, and endangered and hurt our defenseless daughters. You sterilized and cut off the healthy body parts of children & want to keep doing it.

You lied about a near-vegetative president being fine with the nuclear codes. 

You (personally) had Doug Emhoff on as the scandal of his alleged woman abuse and cheating broke and you didn’t ask him ONE Q about it, then tried to tell us you care about women. 

You opened the border and let in ten+ million illegals who killed Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray after they sexually assaulted her and threw her off a bridge, along with the countless other innocents they rape, murder and molest to this day.

So no, we don’t care what you say about Tom Homan. We do not trust you. We only care about defeating you.

"We only care about defeating you," Megyn Kelly said. President Biden was Blue America's president, not hers. So Kelly said in a furious post direct from the eye of the storm.

How did Kelly come to adopt this aggressively tribal view of the world—this novelized warlike picture built around "yours" and "ours?"

She listed a long list of tribal grievances, some of which struck us as stone-cold crazy nuts. Some of her grievances seemed quite odd—but in our view, some of her grievances do make obvious sense.

Crazy is as crazy does, Mother Gump always said. This angry complaint by the furious Kelly strikes us as totally nuts:

Your govt tried to strong arm Fox into firing Tucker because of his J6 coverage...

Did Blue America's government try to strongarm the Fox News Channel into firing Tucker Carlson? Did it try to do so because of what Kelly laughingly describes as "his January 6 coverage?"

We don't know if it did! That said, if Carlson's "coverage" of January 6 was sincere, it came straight out of the cuckoo nest. He should have been yanked off the air by his corporate owners the first time he went down the crazy road he took.

It seems to us that a person has to be swept away by a storm to be aggrieved by any part of the way Carlson got booted from Fox. That said, other grievances stated by Kelly are grounded in perfectly reasonable complaints. 

Sadly—self-destructively—we Blues still tend to hide from that fact.

Some of Kelly's grievances are grounded in reality—and they remain unexplained to this day. One such grievance is this:

You opened the border and let in ten+ million illegals [two or three of whom] killed Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray after they sexually assaulted her and threw her off a bridge...

We've cleaned up Kelly's use of "they," a dangerous word. We've left "illegals" in. But the events she cites really did happen during the four years of the Biden administration. 

That policy at the southern border remains unexplained to this day. Over here in Blue America, our elites still ignore this potent matter—and it anchors almost everything which ever gets said on the endless propaganda programs of the Fox News Channel.

Why did the Biden administration "open the southern border?" Also, why did spokespersons for that administration—Vice President Harris included—keep saying the border was secure when it plainly wasn't?

President Trump has never stopped making crazy claims about who came across that southern border. But why did major figures in Blue America pretend the situation didn't exist? Why do we Blues continue to whistle past that political graveyard today?

For propagandists on the Fox News Channel, that unexplained border policy—and Blue America's ongoing silence—are the gifts which won't stop giving. Whatever else those messaging agents might say in the course of a "cable news" program, they tend to work their way back to what happened there—and when Vice President Harris spoke with Rachel Maddow this Monday, guess what didn't happen?

Maddow didn't ask the former vice president why the border was handled that way. She didn't ask her why she said the things she said about the border being secure.

Warning! There will be no future election in which those questions don't get asked! That said, a code of silence still obtains—but only in our own Blue America. Over there, in Red America, this unexplained matter is the gift which never stops sitting beneath that angry tribe's Christmas tree.

What explains the Biden administration's policy at the southern border? In the absence of any attempt at an explanation, we've come to make the following assumption, which could of course be wrong:

A speculation about the southern border:
President Biden entered the White House needing to avoid a recession as we emerged from the Covid shutdowns—and many of our industries run on the need for immigrant labor. 

Given the fact that our two major parties will never be able to create a workable immigration policy, the administration chose to throw the border open to allow needed labor in.

In the absence of any attempt at direct explanation, that's the speculation on which we ourselves have landed.  That speculation could be wrong. 

But the silence coming from Blue America's political / journalistic elites allows the propaganda players at Fox to talk and talk, then talk and talk, about what happened at the border during President Biden's first three-plus years.

We Blues! We have a lor of explaining to do, about that and about other topics! But we persist in the childish belief that we can simply continue along with our ongoing silence.

We Blues! Despite the claims we've made for the past sixty years, we simply aren't outrageously smart, and we aren't always obsessively honest. "And yet, this is [us]," to borrow from Ezra Pound.

We Blues! We do a wide array of other things which keep domination alive on the Fox News Channel. This past week, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez offered an explanation for her decision not to sign the House resolution concerning Charlie Kirk. 

For various reasons, we agree with that decision. But midway through her explanation, she put her foot squarely in her mouth, in a very familiar, time-honored way. For that reason, Fox has been playing the tape of that one part of her remarks ever since she made it.

We Blues! We aren't as smart as we've always said. Nor are we always the brilliant, astoundingly moral people we've long claimed to be. 

When we refuse to see ourselves as we actually are, we make it amazingly easy for the propaganda at Fox to survive—and for the storm to take shape.

Our sitting president has crazily demanded the indictment of James Comey. At Sunday's memorial service for Charlie Kirk, one of his top advisers described a lunatic storm.

We Blues! We wring our hands and curse our fate as MAGA's political power continues. As we do, overwrought multimillionaire like Megan Kelly get swept away by the storm. 

Will we Blues find our way out of this storm? We know of no reason to assume that we will. Occasionally, we do see glimmers of hope.

We close today with this:

"The sunshine of the prairie summer and fall months would come sifting down with healing and strength."

That's what Carl Sandburg said at the end of Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years. The healing barely happened back then, and now there's a second storm.

That storm will be very hard to deal with. Maybe those of us in Blue America need to learn how to heal ourselves.

Tomorrow: Has someone been criticizing Gutfeld? While wishing for that guy to improve, we'll tell you why we ask.
