Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem. Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday. The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area, according to bystander accounts. People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative's event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.

Not to jump the gun until further details, but I have a suspicion that it's not a MAGA supporter who tried to kill Charlie.

The Dimocrat potty is a group of extremely violent domestic terrorists. The leadership has blood on their hands for encouraging this activity throuh their inciting rhetoric. The insane rabble who listen to the dimocrat leadership all need to be on terror watchlists. All MAGA people are in danger. Stay alert.

Hopefully Charlie Kirk will be okay, and I pray for him and his family. How long before we are bombarded with "It was a right wing extremist who was discontent with Kirk" or "It was a mostly peaceful protestor" or "Kirk brought this on himself because of his views" or whatever lunatic leftist talking point the Enemedia can come up with?

Whelp, that didn't take long. Pmsnbc is already besmirching Charlie Kirk as "divisive and polarizing".

GoFundMe has yanked sickening online fundraisers for the maniac accused of murdering a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train after the legal defense funds sparked widespread outrage. The fundraising pages suggested Decarlos Brown Jr. — a career criminal with no fewer than 14 arrests — is just as much a victim as Iryna Zarutska, the woman seen being knifed dozens of times in a random attack. Helping the 35-year-old homeless suspect would also support the “fight against the racism and bias against our people,” one fundraiser reckoned.

Was floating a ban on trans people owning guns just some basement-level idiot’s idea for “owning the libs”? In the wake of Robin Westman’s deadly Minneapolis rampage, some troll in the bowels of the Trump Justice Department reportedly proposed blocking trans people from buying firearms by declaring them all “mentally ill.” This, of course, is absurd as a simple matter of law: No rule that strips a (dubiously-defined) group of their Second Amendment rights has any chance of holding up in court. And if it did somehow survive, that’s an open invitation for future progs to create their own “mentally ill by definition” categories — deployable to limit lots of other rights.

The Joe Biden autopen fiasco isn’t over, and it never went away. It just went dormant for a bit, but we knew something was going to drop, and it has. President Joe Biden signed a trove of clemency petitions before he shuffled out of the White House. There are concerns that he wasn’t cogent or even aware of what he was signing. That issue presented itself with executive orders, as told by Speaker Mike Johnson. The mountain of clemency petitions was navigated by a shoddy chain of command among top Biden staffers, and again, it presented issues about whether Joe Biden was aware of what was going on

The next step is asking the right questions. The story in Politico Nightly about a reporter’s odyssey in obtaining a Real ID from his native Illinois raises the question of whether local Democrats are discouraging their residents from getting this new form of identification because they don’t want to make things harder for the state's illegal alien population.

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. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.
