Trump's flag half-staff order in honor
of Charlie Kirk replies
Democratic-led states including New York and New Jersey have refused to lower flags to half-staff this week in honor of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The refusal is in defiance of a presidential proclamation issued by Donald Trumpordering the nationwide tribute following Kirk's killing. The directive was signed Wednesday and instructed US flags on all federal property to remain at half-staff until Sunday evening in recognition of what Trump called Kirk's service as 'a truly Great American Patriot.'
Some players have taken it upon themselves to pay tribute to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. One of those players is Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen.
During Friday night’s game against the archrival San Francisco, Treinen took the mound in the ninth inning with “Charlie Kirk” written on the side of his hat with a cross on each side.(snip) reinen has been outspoken about his Christian beliefs. In 2023, he spoke out against the Dodgers’ decision to honor the anti-Catholic group the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, reminding his team that “God cannot be mocked.”

We've seen a lot of reactions from people on the left in response to the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. Many Democratic politicians condemned the killing in very similar terms. It was good they condemned it, although some of them, at least to me, felt like they were saying it because they thought they had to--after all the ginning up of anger that many of them have done against the right. One who broke that mold a bit and delivered a very emotional reaction was "The Young Turks" host, Cenk Uygur.
Christian Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, as someone who “spread infinite amounts of disinformation about LGBTQ people.”
The spokesman did not provide any examples, but told The Advocate, the self-proclaimed “queer paper of record,” that, “Lies and vitriol about transgender people were a frequent part of his rhetoric and events.”It should be easy to find examples because Kirk produced so many videos, but perhaps The Advocate failed to show any of Kirk’s “vitriol” because they don’t exist. When Kirk engaged with the LGBT community, it was always with respect. He saw the humanity in people who desperately want to be seen, heard, and
President Trump handed an ultimatum to NATO members Saturday morning: either get serious about ending the war caused by Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine or count the U.S. out. Using a "truth" from his Truth Social platform to lay down the law, President Trump said, "If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States."

When former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin galumphed into office in 2021, one of his first priorities was rooting out extremism in the ranks.
In an April 9, 2021, memo, Austin inaugurated his "Immediate Actions to Counter Extremism in the Department and the Establishment of the Countering Extremism Working Group (CEWG)." One of its four requirements was:
Commission of Extremism Study: The Department will commission a study on extremist behavior within our Total Force, to include gaining greater fidelity on the scope of the problem.

Assassin Was 'Deeply Indoctrinated With
Left-Wing Ideology' replies
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has set the record straight in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, directly contradicting left-wing attempts to claim the Charlie Kirk assassin was "right-wing."
As RedState reported, there has been a perverse, incoherent attempt to try to blame Kirk's assassination not only on himself, but to suggest left-wing ideology played no role in the heinous crime. One of the latest to do it was disgraced former congressman Adam Kinzinger, who put out this post on Saturday morning. According to Cox, though, who has direct involvement in the investigation, it is "very clear" to investigators that Tyler Robinson was "indoctrinated with leftist ideology."
A 22-year-old aspiring pro gamer who shared a home with Charlie Kirk's suspected killer handed over damning text messages to police, which ultimately led to the arrest. Lance Twiggs was the one who handed over Tyler Robinson, his roommate in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, according to a Daily Mail report. Twiggs shared text messages with police in which Robinson talked about hiding a gun connected to Wednesday's shooting of the well-known conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit shows.

A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday's shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a 'transgender partner' who is co-operating with the investigation.
What the left’s public execution of Charlie Kirk has done to mobilize the MAGA movement is something I never expected to see.
For more than 20 years, I’ve been a part of the conservative movement. Never a mover or shaker, but a cog happy to be overpaid to do my part. And an observer. Always an observer.
Last week, after the terrible news arrived that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, I observed something remarkable. It was so remarkable, it’s difficult to find the words, but I’ll try… It was as if some years ago someone downloaded a computer program directly into the fractured and fragile right-of-center movement,
A radical left group claimed responsibility for the destruction of power lines that left 50,000 homes and many businesses without electricity in Berlin for two and a half days, with repairs expected to take until 2026.
A manifesto confession posted on a notorious hard left message board called electricity the primary means of support for the political system, and depriving thousands of people of power for days justifiable collateral damage.

Vast crowds of Britons waving the Union Jack and St George flags descended on central London on Saturday for the “Unite the Kingdom” rally organised by veteran anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson.
The demonstration comes in the wake of local protests throughout the country over the Summer in opposition to the mass migration agenda imposed upon the UK and the government scheme to house supposed asylum seekers in hotels at taxpayers’ expense, which became a flashpoint of anger following the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl by an illegal immigrant from Ethiopia living in a hotel in Epping.

WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin. Federal and

The left loves to point the finger at MAGA and cry “radicalization.” Everyday people, suburban moms and dads, mowing their lawns, paying their bills, and wanting a safe country are suddenly painted as “radicals.” It’s hogwash. The real radicalization is staring us in the face, and it’s far uglier than anything they’ve ever accused us of. On the left-wing social media app Bluesky, the assassination of Charlie Kirk is being celebrated like a national holiday. The entire site reads like a grotesque party, with users cheering, laughing,(snip)over the murder(snip).
Bluesky is now taking it even further by openly naming other conservatives they want to see assassinated next

I didn't agree with Charlie Kirk, but I respected his First Amendment right to speak, though it's the Second Amendment he often spoke of so keenly. It will be a match race now to see which amendment will be the one most closely tied to his legacy, and that should grieve every American.

Kirk once said gun deaths were worth the right to bear arms. (Snip) I don’t think his life, or anyone’s, is worth losing just so I can own a gun.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Secretary of State Bob Evnen returned to Nebraska after a trade mission to Kenya, bringing with him an understanding and controversy for truckers.
Evnen got back to Nebraska on Wednesday after signing a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Kenya. That visit sparked online rumors that there had been an agreement to provide Kenyans with trucking jobs in Nebraska.
However, the memorandum, signed on Sept. 2 and provided by the Secretary of State’s office to 10/11 News, does not include any mention of Kenyan involvement in Nebraska’s trucking industry.
During his trip, Evnen’s office said the secretary primarily focused on promoting Nebraska corn, ethanol,

Deep-pocketed, out-of-state donors account for 78% of the nearly $2.4 million raised by a super PAC backing Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign.
Lefties outside the Empire State wrote fat checks totaling $1,831,706 to the group, New Yorkers for Lower Costs, as of Friday, records showed.
The sum included $762,631 from 26 California donors, with most of it coming from just two people.
“Mamdani’s campaign isn’t about New York City — it’s about fueling a national socialist movement bankrolled by donors in California and beyond … with Hollywood and out-of-state activists trying to dictate the future of our city,” said Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro.
Office Depot is facing backlash and even boycott calls after a Michigan store allegedly refused to print a poster of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk for a vigil, with a GOP official blasting the company online and calling the move censorship.
Matthew DePerno, an attorney and Republican activist, said the Kalamazoo County Republican Party ordered the poster at 2:24 p.m. Friday from the Office Depot in Portage, MI, for a vigil honoring Kirk scheduled for that evening.
But around 5:30 p.m., DePerno said a store print supervisor named “Beryl” called and told organizers the order would not be completed because the poster was “propaganda.”
Political assassinations in America are usually committed by nutjobs. Lee Harvey Oswald was a communism-sympathizing loser. James Earl Ray was a career criminal who copped a guilty plea to avoid the death penalty and then falsely maintained his innocence until the day he died in prison.
This time feels different. This murderer looked normal. He earned college credits while in high school. He was a straight-A student. He had no criminal record.
He lived at home with his parents, two registered Republicans active in their Mormon church in conservative Utah. The family all talked ‘round the dinner table, as families used to.
There is a safe and inexpensive cure for many types of cancer that is apparently being ignored by medical industrial complex and media. One possible reason why is because this new treatment protocol includes ivermectin (IVM). During the pandemic the use of this so-called “horse dewormer” was vigorously attacked by legacy media and banned as a COVID-19 treatment by the Biden administration’s FDA and CDC. India used it and had 10 times fewer deaths. Perhaps admitting that IVM worked would be embarrassing. During the pandemic many courageous doctors were fired for questioning the government-mandated COVID-19 treatment protocol or warning of the dangerous mRNA vaccine side effects.
The guardians of Arizona’s state pension fund have not suddenly turned into hoodie-wearing crypto bros shouting “HODL” from a Tempe rooftop. They have done something more interesting, more technical, and in its way, more subversive. They bought more shares of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor’s publicly traded Trojan horse for Bitcoin.
For a bureaucracy that manages roughly $17 billion in assets, the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) is not known for boldness. It is designed to be boring. It sprinkles funds across the usual asset classes:
As soon as Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the pundit class starting wringing its collective hands about retribution.
But instead of acts of vengeance, instead of looting and burning down buildings, instead of terrorizing communities, Charlie Kirk’s supporters … held prayer vigils.
In fact, the only violence that we’ve seen so far has been instigated by leftists, who showed up at some of these vigils with a clear intention of stirring up hostility.
In Idaho, a scuffle broke out – at a candlelight service – after a man on a scooter with a rainbow backpack started yelling “F*** Charlie Kirk.” He continued to scream and shout obscenities as he left, apparently unharmed.
Tyler Robinson, allegedly the man who assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU) this week, came from a Republican family. But a high school friend insists that Tyler himself was increasingly far left in his politics.
The youth who claimed to be Tyler‘s high school friend asked to remain anonymous when he agreed to a phone interview with The Guardian on Friday. The accused murderer, who killed Kirk with one shot to the neck while Kirk was answering a question about transgender mass shooters Wednesday, was “pretty left on everything,” the friend affirmed.
Some lefties now want to claim Tyler Robinson was pro-MAGA
Charlie Kirk’s killer was not a lone wolf. He was part of a pack. He evolved from a toxic left-wing ecosystem that has produced a series of violent attacks in our nation in recent years. That ecosystem has a lot of players that stoke the destruction. It starts with socialism itself. That ideology has always been based in emotion and perceived victimhood. These days they have converted our sacrosanct free speech rights into a concept called “hate speech.”
It was not a good week for humor. The horrifying murder of Charlie Kirk dominated the news, and the murder of Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train continued to reverberate. We have said much, and will say much more, about those stories, and there are a few references to them in the memes that follow.

With the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday has come the inevitable political idiocy in the aftermath.
As RedState reported, it was revealed that Tyler Robinson had engraved anti-fascist phrases and other oddities on the ammunition he used in his bolt-action .30-06 rifle. That, along with the fact that he murdered one of the most prominent right-wing figures in the world, didn't exactly point to him being on the political right.
Yet, by Friday morning, the narrative that Robinson was actually a "right-wing groyper" was spreading like wildfire on social media, pushed by many large Democrat accounts.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to defend the violent rhetoric on the left after the founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated and said her party "cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there."[snip] In short, the Democrat lawmaker is saying there's no way the left could take responsibility for their rhetoric against Conservatives because they had no idea that it could lead to violence.[snip] She also said that "starting from the top," meaning President Donald Trump, there has to be a more unifying message coming from our government.
The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Friday to support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and urge Israel to commit to a Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposes.

Hours before the vote, Netanyahu said “there will be no Palestinian state.” He spoke at the signing of an agreement to expand settlements that will divide the West Bank, which the Palestinians insist must be part of their state, saying, “This place belongs to us.”

Mrs. Erika Frantzve Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, co-founder and CEO of TPUSA, has not spoken publicly since the Wednesday murder of her husband by an assassin's bullet. On Friday, Erika Kirk broke her silence, appearing on a livestream to give what is being promoted as "a public statement to the press." The live appearance was streamed on the TPUSA site and on Charlie Kirk's social media platforms. Turning Point USA officially announced it on X: Through tears, Erika gave this heartfelt message of gratitude and the future of TPUSA.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth has instructed Pentagon officials to be on the lookout for members of the military celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, so they can be punished.
In the wake of the 31-year-old conservative influencer’s murder Wednesday, online sleuths have uncovered numerous sick social media posts from public officials, teachers, professors and even members of the armed services ghoulishly cheering or mocking Kirk’s assassination.
“We are tracking all these very closely — and will address, immediately,” Hegseth wrote on X Thursday. “Completely unacceptable.”
As we continue to grapple with the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, there is so much to consider going forward. How we deal and then grow from this point is one component. As I cautioned yesterday, this is not a time to back down, despite all of the insistence from the press and the Democrats to have us pipe down and cower. We need to be resolute, and there is an indicator that Charlie’s work should embolden us.
There could be a strong indicator that we can see something vital on the horizon to cultivate, and it has everything to do with Kirk’s work
A Brooklyn synagogue isn’t letting congregants score High Holidays seats if they aren’t registered to vote — a drastic step amid Sephardic Jewish congregations’ fear over the potential election of Israel critic Zohran Mamdani as mayor.
A notice from Congregation Shaare Zion in Gravesend obtained by The Post warns that the election’s outcome could pose “serious problems” throughout the city and left the synagogue “no choice” but to require proof of voter registration for tickets to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services. Mamdani isn’t directly mentioned in the announcement, but a source with the Orthodox synagogue said the move was directed at the Democratic mayoral nominee.

Whenever a crime hits the national headlines, the left seems to leap straight to politicizing it. A mass shooting? Must be a white Christian nationalist. When Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman and was shot, the media literally called Zimmerman a “white Hispanic.” Why? Because the narrative demanded it. The left is always obsessed with the race, gender, religion, and ideology of both the victim and the perpetrator—and if the facts don’t fit their preferred narrative, the incident gets buried or twisted.
Now, they’re doing it again—this time with the man who killed civil rights leader Charlie Kirk.
New York Times columnist Ezra Klein appears to have been angrily canceled by many of his fellow leftists and Democrats. His thought crime? He expressed sympathy for Charlie Kirk in the wake of his brutal assassination. The very title of his Thursday opinion piece acted like red meat to the increasingly deranged left: "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way." And if this did not inflame the haters enough, some of Klein's words sent them over the intolerant edge: The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in politics without fear of violence. To lose that is to risk losing everything.
The pro-Bidenomics clapping seals over at CNN finally had the stones to admit that a major revision in jobs growth has undercut President Joe Biden’s entire economic legacy. For all the lipstick-smearing CNN did on the pig of Biden’s economy and his supposedly stellar jobs growth, the Bureau of Labor Statistics made a big whoopsie by conceding that it had again wildly overestimated jobs growth during his era in the 12 month period ending March 2025 — this time by a whopping 911,000. With no clever way to spin, CNN economics reporter Elisabeth Buchwald had to admit the obvious September 10: “Massive jobs revisions

An appeals court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can begin deporting around 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Newsweek reached out to the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via email on Friday evening for comment.
Why It Matters
DHS ordered half a million migrants to self-deport, issuing termination notices to nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who had entered the country under "humanitarian parole" programs that started under the administration of former President Joe Biden.
This marked the first mass revocation of humanitarian parole, according to the Associated Press (AP).
