To the clowns on the Left who think that Charlie Kirk will be forgotten in five years, you’re about to get wrecked. First, most predictions by liberals are trash. They thought Trump couldn’t win again: he steamrolled back into the White House. These people are unhinged, unserious, and unrelatable. Mute their whining, because it’s just incoherent garbage anyway. Kirk was assassinated while answering questions on September 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem. Since then, the outpouring of prayers and calls to action has caught the attention of one unlikely demographic—older Americans.
The official account of California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office posted a vile meme on social media depicting White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller walking President Donald Trump as a dog on a leash.

Virginia’s attorney general is blasting woke county officials for refusing to arrest a sex offender who claimed to be a woman so he could walk into girls’ locker rooms — and said there was clear evidence that he was “hunting” little girls at pools and water parks in the tony Washington, DC, suburb.
Richard Cox, a prolific, 58-year-old registered sex offender, allegedly exposed himself to little girls and women in the girls’ locker rooms. He was also found with child pornography and a schedule of girls’ swim class schedules at Fairfax County rec centers on his phone, cops said.
Virginia’s Fairfax County claims there is no “probable cause” to charge Richard Cox, a Tier III registered sex offender, for allegedly exposing himself to women and girls.
Fairfax County’s refusal to charge Cox comes despite an Arlington detective’s testimony that Cox was in possession of child pornography and Fairfax County children’s swim class schedules, Cox’s previous alleged admission of his own compulsions to expose himself, and witnesses claiming that he exposed himself to women and girls in Fairfax County recreation centers’ locker rooms, ABC 7 News’ Nick Minock reported. (snip) Spanberger has previously refused to condemn men’s access to sensitive women’s spaces, as reported by The Federalist.
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Des Moines Public Schools in the wake of immigration enforcement agents’ arrest last week of the district’s superintendent, Ian Roberts.
DOJ says investigators will be looking into whether Iowa’s largest public school system is employing discriminatory DEI initiatives in its hiring practices.
In a letter sent Tuesday to interim Superintendent Matthew Smith, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon wrote that the probe is based on information that Des Moines Public Schools “may be engaged in employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race, color, and national origin in violation of Title VII.” In other words, woke
OKLAHOMA CITY– On Monday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced authorities apprehended 130 alleged “illegal” immigrants from multiple countries under “Operation Guardian” sweep along Interstate 40.
According to the Governor Stitt’s announcement, the operation handled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) targeted enforcement along I-40 in western Oklahoma with numerous commercial truck drivers utilizing licensures issued by sanctuary states from multiple countries, including India, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Mauritania.
OHP says, one license listed “No Name Given.”
Well, they did it. Even after President Donald Trump telegraphed that they were walking into a trap by shutting the government down, Democrats slammed the red button anyway. How's the messaging on that going? Let's just say it's not going very well.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) kicked off a "Stop the Republican Shutdown" live stream overnight, and it may be the least-watched political event in modern history. As morning approached, the live stream was creatively renamed "Stop the Republican Shutdown Pt. 2," with various Democrats rotating through to shake their fists at the sky. When "transgender" Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) took the
Former President Joe Biden frequently relied on palm cards as "cheat sheets" during press events throughout his presidency, often cited as evidence of cognitive decline. In a Tuesday report, Fox News revealed that Biden used these aids even for long-time allies like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, whom he has known for decades.
Reporting from Fox News Digital on Tuesday revealed that note cards from the Biden era show that the former president’s staffers compiled the names and photos of several high-profile Democrats, including Clinton, and then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, among others, for him to reference in his remarks.
Computer industry executives, economists, government officials and businesspeople all seem to be very high on the prospects for artificial intelligence (AI). But what about average Americans? They mostly believe AI should be feared, not embraced, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
To kick off the three-question national online poll on AI, I&I/TIPP first asked 1,362 Americans the following: “Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) will mostly create new jobs, mostly take away jobs, or not make much difference?”
It wasn’t close. Just 17% responded that AI would create jobs,
Over the past week, Ecuador has undergone a series of violent protests, strikes, and blockades across some of its provinces led by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) in response to President Noboa’s mid-September decision to end diesel fuel subsidies in the country. The violent protests have so far reportedly left one protester dead and 12 injured military officials On Sunday, President Noboa personally led a humanitarian convoy alongside other government officials and international representatives to the city of Otavalo, Imbabura, one of the municipalities most affected by the ongoing strikes and violent protests.
The bomb squad was dispatched to the scene on Tuesday when the device was reported just outside a building on the Utah State University campus. Administrators had already been taking extra security measures due to “heightened concerns” ahead of the Turning Point USA event — the first in Utah since the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Though the device was deemed to be “non-explosive,” video showed members of the bomb squad yelling, “fire in the hole,” before a loud bang sounded off. Take a look:
Election Day 2025 is just around the corner. While it may not be covered with the same intensity as the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats can no longer afford to focus on what happened in 2024.
To win upcoming elections, my fellow Democrats must go beyond criticizing President Trump’s awful actions and policies. They must advocate for programs that most people believe will improve their lives by making America more affordable.Democratic candidates are doing this now as they campaign in the only two races for governor this year, in Virginia and New Jersey. If they win the Nov. 4 elections,
Speaker Mike Johnson wasn’t going to let CNN’s Kaitlan Collins lie about the Schumer shutdown. This interview took place hours before it became official, but the government is currently shut down. At 12:01 am, the Democrats decided to shut everything down for the sake of funding for illegal alien health care, refunding National Public Radio, and gutting the rural healthcare fund, which Republicans replenished after Democrats complained. We’re dealing with the Tylenol kids of Congress right now, led by Chuck Schumer, who is hated by his own base, and Hakeem Jeffries, the Dollar Store Obama.

Democrat Narratives About Rioters in Blistering Statement replies
One of the rationales Oregon Democrats have been using to push back against President Trump's authorization of troop deployment to Portland is that they say he's using footage of the rioting that happened in 2020 during the George Floyd riots to justify his decision, implying there's no current footage, which is false. It's a theory their mainstream media allies, of course, have floated as well, though at least some of them pointed out that the footage Trump has reportedly seen is not just from the 2020 George Floyd riots but from the unrest and violence Portland has seen near its ICE facility going back at least three months.
The federal government partially shut down at midnight Wednesday, hours after all but three Senate Democrats voted down a short-term funding bill.
The shutdown is the first since December 2018, which saw non-essential government operations cease and tens of thousands of federal employees furloughed or forced to work without pay for 35 days until lawmakers agreed on a stopgap funding measure.
White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought notified federal department and agency heads shortly after Tuesday’s failed Senate vote to keep the government funded to begin preparations for a shutdown. V
Congressional Republicans and Democrats have failed to reach an agreement to avert a government shutdown before a midnight deadline, resulting in the first government funding lapse of President Trump’s second term.
A shutdown seemed increasingly likely as the deadline approached, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) leaving a closed-door meeting between Trump and top congressional leaders on Monday afternoon saying “significant and meaningful differences” remained. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) argued that the Republican bill to fund the government “has not one iota of Democratic input.”
Senate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government, putting it on a near certain path to a shutdown after midnight Wednesday for the first time in almost seven years.
After the vote, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget issued a memo saying that “affected agencies should now execute their plans for an orderly shutdown.”
The Senate rejected the legislation as Democrats are making good on their threat to close the government if President Donald Trump and Republicans won’t accede to their health care demands.
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling has consistently been a staunch critic of the push to allow men who identify as women to invade women's safe spaces, like locker rooms, bathrooms, women's sports, etc., even in the face of doxxing, cancel culture attempts, and violence/death threats against her and her family. She's been unafraid to take on her detractors, no matter their positions in life, whether they be government officials, the literary community, Hollywood elitists, or far-left wacktivists.
But throughout it all, even as many of the main actors who played in the Harry Potter movies turned against her in a show of support for the transgender movement,
Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican bill that would have extended federal funding for seven weeks, with the final tally coming in at 55-45, short of the 60 votes needed to break the filibuster. This puts the government on a fast track toward its first shutdown in nearly seven years, all because Democrats decided now was the time to dig in their heels.
The Republican bill was straightforward, a clean funding extension that should have sailed through without drama. But Democrats refused to play ball unless Republicans agreed to negotiate on extending Obamacare subsidies and other Democratic priorities.
Democrats are willing to shut down the government if Republicans refuse to re-negotiate part of the tax bill passed in July. They say the main thing they want re-negotiated are government subsidies for Obamacare.
The Democrats have some leverage here because, while it took only a Senate majority to pass the tax bill, and the Republicans hold that majority, it takes a supra-majority to pass a bill to keep the government from shutting down. A supra-majority cannot be achieved without a handful of Democrats.
There are several principled objections to this strategy by the Democrats, which are worth mentioning before I get to the main point.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a multipronged effort aimed at lowering drug costs in the United States, including the creation of a “TrumpRx” direct-to-consumer website where Americans can buy medicine at discounted prices and a sweeping deal with Pfizer to reduce the prices of many of its products. “The United States is done subsidizing the health care of the rest of the world,” Trump said at a news conference. “By taking this bold step, we’re ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families.” Pfizer is the first drugmaker to voluntarily agree to all the demands Trump laid out to pharmaceutical company CEOs.
As the Gateway Pundit reported over the weekend, a young man named Nigel Max Edge was arrested and charged with three counts of first degree murder after opening fire on the American Fish Company restaurant dock in the North Carolina coastal town of Southport.
Edge is a Marine veteran who served in Iraq. Unfortunately, he was battling some personal demons.
One of his former friends is now speaking out and saying that he tried to get help for the man and that his warnings to authorities went unheeded.
It’s a tragic reminder that we have a serious mental health crisis in the country right now.

schools as part of grant deal: ‘Then

President Trump said Tuesday that Harvard University has reached a tentative deal with his administration to restore $2.4 billion in frozen federal grants.
America’s oldest college will spend about $500 million to launch and operate trade schools, ending a clash over issues including discrimination against Jewish students and the use of race-based affirmative action, Trump said.
“This would be a giant trade school, or series of trade schools. It would be run by Harvard,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office.
The release of NJ gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill’s full military file is being investigated by the National Archives’ watchdog after she complained it was leaked as part of a political hit-job.
Will Brown, acting inspector general for the National Archives, announced a formal inquiry into how the files for the New Jersey Democratic rep got into the hands of a key ally to her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli.
Sherrill’s record was released after it was revealed the governor hopeful was forbidden from walking in commencement.

“The illegal release of my military records — including my Social Security number — was no mistake,” Sherrill said on X earlier in the day Tuesday.
