So, Mr. Abaronye, are you saying it's now OK to kill those you disagree with?

I have listened to Charlie Kirk many, many times. I never heard him say anything hateful. Yes, he questioned why some "lifestyles" were pursued but he never called for any harm to those who chose them I have heard him debate many young people but he never got angry ad he sought discussion and understanding. Sadly, I guess his critics could call him devisive but he was never never hateful. We know who the haters are and they project it on their opposition.

FTA…”Abaraonye told The Times that on hearing the news of the shooting he “reacted impulsively” and made comments that he quickly deleted. He said: “Those words did not reflect my values. To be clear: nobody deserves to be the victim of political violence. Nobody should be harmed or killed for the views they hold.” Impulse brought out his true feelings !! What an evil person!!

I do wonder how many leftist politicians and mouthpieces are condemning the shooting merely because they know to espouse otherwise could put them squarely in the crosshairs. I don’t trust them even in their emotions.

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.

Enjoying a surge of support from progressive and younger voters, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is a big step closer to becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation's most populous city. 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.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized. Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted. Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”

WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach.

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.
