President Donald Trump said that investigators are “making big progress” in the hunt for the person who fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah event on Wednesday.
“I hear they’re making big progress, and we’ll have to see what happens,” Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One en route to New York. He added that the shooter was “an animal” who would be “dealt with very appropriately.” When asked about a possible motive, Trump said, “I have an indication, yeah, but we’ll let you know about that later.”
The president also confirmed he plans to attend Kirk’s funeral in Arizona in the coming days.

Mr President. You might want to hire a private security team.

Expect a multitude of crazed protestors. These freaks will make the Westboro Baptist wackos look like Girl Scouts.

A note to security teams everywhere.
Check the rooftops before your client comes out on stage.

Check AND man rooftops everywhere. One would think it is a preliminary precaution.

Read below the words of Shai Kalach, a conservative Orthodox Jew:
The Assassination of Charlie Kirk – A Turning Point for Western Civilization
This week, Charlie Kirk, a conservative American author and social activist, was murdered. He was the clear voice of an entire generation, and countless young people and adults enjoyed listening to him and reading his words. With his exceptional eloquence, well-reasoned arguments, and courage to step into any arena and respond to any claim, he managed to touch the hearts of millions, restore moral reasoning to the American nation, and become a revered figure for many of its citizens.
His murder is not an isolated act—it is a symbol of a broader phenomenon. Usually, we think of political assassinations, but here it was not a politician who was killed, but a man of ideas. A man who expressed himself with a pen and a microphone. What disturbed his killer and his supporters was not Kirk’s authority, but his ability to clearly articulate his worldview and persuade people. Whoever murdered him, and whoever supported that act, does not truly believe in freedom of speech; they fight against it with violence.
President Trump called for prayers during Kirk’s final hours, later announced his death, and America bowed its head, even lowering its flag to half-mast.
Why did this great nation mourn him as one of its most distinguished sons?
Because there is nothing more splendid than American democracy, whose very heritage is freedom—freedom that recognizes the essence of free speech. The Founding Fathers gave their lives so that every individual could express an opinion without fear. Charlie, with his resolute voice, joined their ranks. He fell solely because of his steadfast commitment to truth—the very thing the progressive left fears most, for truth threatens its existence.
One must understand this clearly: the radical left’s art has always been violence and murder. Gulags, show trials, extermination camps—all of these grew out of the school of Marxism, the bloodiest enterprise in history, which buried more than 150 million souls. Even within communism itself, dissenting voices were silenced—Stalin persecuted Trotsky simply because he had a pen and differing opinions.
Today, communism has allied itself with woke culture, which is nothing but a grand masquerade of false peace—a cover story for the fascist violence of the radical left.
This moment marks a turning point in the cultural struggle of Western democracies. They must recognize that this is a war of violence versus freedom of speech. They must unite against the radical “ultra-liberal” left, which silences opposition through intimidation and assassination.
In a proper country, all journalists in Israel would have issued a clear statement against this violent assault on freedom of expression. Yet it turns out that not all are the democrats they claim to be—for they do not believe in liberty or free speech, but in silencing voices when the victim does not belong to their political camp.
But such silencing will not succeed. Every attempt to uproot the fight for truth only deepens its roots. Every attempt to take a life gives birth to new life. Yesterday, not only America but the entire world gave new birth to the image of Charlie Kirk in the many who now carry his voice.
Charlie’s assassination is not merely a private or national tragedy; it is a call to action for the free world—a call for revival: to raise the banner of liberty, to zealously guard the right to speak and express one’s opinion, and to wage cultural war against those who choose the easy life of lies. For as long as there are men and women willing to die for speaking the truth, Western civilization will not cease to live.
And the people of Israel will deepen their identity and roots—and proclaim liberty to the entire world.

The perps who killed Kirk are still on the loose. For his own safety, the President best use a well-armored popemobile while outside at the funeral.

These days, there is no doubt that the more competent, likable, and prominent a conservative commentator or Republican politician is, the more chance there is that he or she will be criminally assassinated by the leftist “nut jobs” of which there are certainly many out there, who are leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat supporters. That is the state of US politics today.

It is time that we take very seriously the cleaning of academia. The hippies of the 60s are now your tenure professors. They have been indoctrinating and infesting young minds ever since. Calling the Department of Education and the states to do what is necessary. Take the trash out.

Bullet engraving: “Hey fascist, catch!”
Not 1 in 100 of these lemmings can even define fascism, let alone explain which of Charlie Kirk’s statements or actions made him a fascist.
