It shouldn't take long - they know where Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, AOC and their ilk live. These people are all guilty. The hate they project is just evil. They want the power back and will do anything to get it. Think they made Charlie Kirk a martyr. He'll be so much stronger now. I'm pretty sure the dems have lost a lot of their base today. There's no walking this back. This party is disgusting.

Gandalf the White was so much more powerful than Gandalf the Gray. So it will be with Charlie Kirk. May God rest Charlie's soul and may his assassin be quick to meet his Maker.

MY first reaction was to pray which I did. My 2nd reaction was you kill one of ours we kill 2 of yours. I honestly believe it may be the only thing the left would understand. Enough of this. RIP Charlie. You will be missed but never forgotten.

No doubt this was a big time political assassination. You have to figure that if the shooter was on that roof, that the shooter must have been a person who had access to the University building and who knew how to get on the roof, or had help from some others who had access to the building and the roof. Utah is not that far from the Northwest where really violent leftist groups, whose members wear black clothing, have been making their presence known. Put all that together and they might just find the assassin.

"Revenge is mine, saith the Lord." I am heartsick and angry, but revenge is not up to us. The way to avenge Charlie's death is at the ballot box, whether in local or national elections, and to speak out to your leftist friends and relatives. Most of my family are left leaning and I tend to sit back and be quiet in order to not make waves or be ridiculed. No more.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will move the military’s US Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama — undoing a decision by the Biden administration to keep operations in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The US Space Command, or SPACECOM, is a joint command separate from the US Space Force military branch, which is tasked with leading national security operations in space. That includes overseeing satellites and networks that provide missile warnings, communications and in-space surveillance, while also tracking orbital debris and potential threats to US and allied spacecraft.

“War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will.” — Carl von Clausewitz. War is not chaos. It is the deliberate application of force in pursuit of political objectives. Every modern conflict must be judged according to those objectives. In the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, three major actors pursued distinct goals: Israel, Iran, and the United States. Based on what can be objectively and openly assessed, Israel and the United States achieved overwhelming success at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. Iran, while executing limited retaliation, suffered a decisive defeat.

While the Associated Press had yet to project a winner in New York City's Democratic Party mayoral primary Tuesday night, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo saw the writing on the wall, telling supporters at an election night gathering that Mamdani "won." Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member from Queens who is originally from Uganda, topped the former three-term governor and nine other candidates in a crowded primary field in an election that was determined by ranked-choice voting.

Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects. This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F.
