Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Flipped
a Remarkable Switch in the MAGA Movement
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/13/2025 2:35:10 PM
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,

“We have already issued more than 18,000 tentative job offers,” the DHS chief added. “Americans are answering their country’s call to serve and help remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from our country.”

Senator Adam Schiff made an appearance at a Senate Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday and was summarily leveled by a wrecking ball named Kash Patel.
Schiff and Patel engaged in a rather lopsided exchange in which the California Democrat demanded answers as to why Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred from a low-security federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.
The implication being that the move was part of a wink and a nod agreement coinciding with an interview conducted by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

to Kirk Assassin's Text Messages Is Simply Unbelievable 8 replies
What I'm about to share with you is going to seem like a parody at first. The words coming out of the reporter's mouth are going to sound so unbelievable that you're going to wonder if I got trolled by an AI deep fake. But no, it's real, and it's one of the most psychotic things I've ever seen from the mainstream press, and to be sure, that's a pretty high bar to reach given the industry's history.
On Tuesday, Utah prosecutors announced the formal charges against the assassin who took Charlie Kirk's life a week prior. In the wake of that, text messages
A dozen or so years ago, the magazine rack at your grocery store was your cheat code for popular culture: The covers revealed EXACTLY where we were as a country.
After all, magazine editors chose their covers to maximize sales. Which meant that the cover photos (and cover stories) were kind of like mini billboards, advertising whatever content was most meaningful to their target audience.
For marketers and/or propagandists, it provided invaluable insight.
But no longer.
Today, paper-and-ink magazines are deader than the dodo. They’re the equivalent of vinyl records: Some people still swear by ‘em, but they’re no longer mainstream.
Instead, we’ve gotta look at digital headlines.
On Tuesday’s ABC News Special Report about Utah County officials formally announcing charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, chief national correspondent Matt Gutman expressed affinity for the suspect and admiration for his love story with a trans person, gushing the text messages released by authorities were “lovingly” stated, “very intimate,” and “very touching.” Gutman was reporting from the site of the press conference when he told World News Tonight anchor David Muir something “that stood out” was “those text messages” between the suspect and his roommate/lover.
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk during an event in Utah last week, sent text messages to his transgender-identifying lover after the shooting explaining that he had “had enough of” Kirk’s “hatred.”
Prosecutors released the text messages in a court filing on Tuesday, shortly before Robinson’s expected arraignment on charges of aggravated murder and weapon and obstruction offenses. If Robinson is convicted on the aggravated murder charge, prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.
As we reported, charges were filed against Tyler Robinson, the man accused in the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced that Robinson faced seven counts, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. He also noted his intent to seek the death penalty in this case. He laid out aggravating factors, saying that it was done because of Kirk's "political expression" and knowing that children would be present. Gray explained that yes, the mother had said that Robinson had become more left over the past year, "becoming more gay and trans rights-oriented," and had started dating his roommate,
During CBS’s brief reaction Tuesday to Utah County officials announcing charges against the suspect in the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson was forced to listen to then recap for viewers which he had denied hours earlier that Kirk was murdered for his political views.
Speaking moments later to correspondent Carter Evans at the press conference, Dickerson reiterated that “[i]n addition to those text messages that were read, we heard about the possible motivation as Robinson’s parents explained he had become more radical, more left leaning.”
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk during an event in Utah last week, is being charged with aggravated murder and weapon and obstruction offenses, officials announced Tuesday.

“Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved,” Berger said in a statement. “He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would file a $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging defamation and libel, and calling the newspaper a “mouthpiece” for the Democratic party.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump attacked the newspaper for being “a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democratic Party,” while accusing if of making false statements about him, his family and business, without elaborating on the allegations.
The lawsuit suit was being brought in the state of Florida, Trump said without providing further details.

In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a violently deranged and hate-filled leftist (yes, that is a confirmed fact), some on the hard Left have been publicly expressing justifications for, and even celebrations of, the murder. These ghouls do not represent America, nor do they represent America's center-left coalition writ large. Many politicians, public figures and private citizens on the 'progressive' end of the spectrum have prominently and unequivocally denounced the killing. This must be acknowledged and embraced with gratitude by all people of good will. The forces of decency must stand together against the cancer of political violence and twisted vigilantism.
Living up to its name even in death. The Garden State approved a bill that legalizes human composting, an alternative to traditional burials in which a corpse is transformed into nutrient-rich soil that loved ones can use to feed their favorite houseplant or scatter like ashes. Human composting, more formally known as natural organic reduction, has skyrocketed in popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic left more than a million Americans dead.New Jersey is the 14th state to have legalized the practice over the last six years.

The elderly rabble-rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities’ response after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot is now accused of keeping “graphic” sexual photos of children on his phone, according to law enforcement. George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Monday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old, at least partially naked and “posing” in a “sexual” way, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Tuesday. “Zinn admitted … that[snip] his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old,” the agency alleged.

Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed on social media Monday that more than 100 teachers in his state are being removed from the classroom.
These educators will lose their jobs, their teaching certificates, and the ability to ever lead students astray in Texas again.
Their offense? Glorifying or celebrating the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.
Abbott responded to a post on X that claimed Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath was investigating teachers.
Morath made clear where the state stands.

Esperanza Yanez, an attorney employed by the Nashville Public Defender’s Office, published at least four posts to social media claiming her lack of “empathy” for the assassination of Charlie Kirk was justified by claiming the Turning Point USA founder was a “fascist organizer.”
Yanez first publicly commented on Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday afternoon, only hours after he was killed, when she claimed that Kirk, “said he loved the genocide occurring in Palestine and wanted to see more of it,” before adding an emoji depicting a woman shrugging.
Hours later, Yanez (pictured above) wrote in another post, “demanding empathy for a hateful person like this is insane,”

terrorism’; Dem warns discipline is ‘un-American’ 16 replies
The Pentagon is not backing down from its quest for consequences for those who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s killing, even as Democrats warn the move is "un-American" and violates free speech protections.
The controversy underscores a clash between military discipline and First Amendment rights, with top Pentagon officials arguing that celebrating the killing of an American political figure is unacceptable conduct for service members — while Democrats counter that the crackdown risks punishing constitutionally protected speech.
"Hunting down and prosecuting service members for their individual political beliefs is dangerous and un-American," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger, wrote on X.

Gov. Tim Walz announced Tuesday that he’ll seek a third term for governor, ending speculation that he would walk away after a second term that coincided with an unsuccessful bid for vice president. (Snip) Walz has also come under scrutiny for COVID-era nutrition and housing assistance programs that have fallen prey to misuse by bad actors. He took a turn on the national political stage last year after being chosen by Kamala Harris to join her presidential ticket. After a three-month sprint, the Democratic ticket lost and Walz returned to a different political landscape. Minnesota Republicans called attention to the
