A grieving Erika Kirk spoke out for the first time after her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. “I want to thank the millions of people who have shown their love for Charlie here in Phoenix, across America, and worldwide,” Erika said. “I want to thank my husband’s dear friend, Vice President Vance, and his phenomenal wife, Usha, for their love and support. You guys honored my husband so well, bringing him home.” “I want to thank President Trump and his incredible family for the same. Mr. President, my husband loved you,” Erika continued. “And, he knew that you loved

I watched a number of his debates on the internet. The guy was 31 years old and had the wisdom of a senior citizen. He could debate with the best of them and made many college age kids think about the rhetoric coming out of the left wing. He was a danger to the left and they eliminated him.

Quick-thinking, clear-spoken, and well-mannered -- it's so hard to manage all three when arguing with delusional lefty-bots who try to keep opponents from having even a second to respond, filling time with rapid-fire, nonstop monologues. Just more of their m.o. -- don't let conservatives speak. Charlie was truly remarkable. May his work, through the merciful grace of God, continue to convert young hearts and minds away from the smug, secularism of the Left.. And may his spirit help guide many to embrace faith and life.

FBI deputy director Dan Bongino told Fox News on Monday that “there appear to have been multiple warning signs” that pointed to the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination prior to the shooting. Speaking to Bill Hemmer, Bongino said, “There appear to have been multiple warning signs. There were people in [the suspect’s] network — friends and family — who had stated that he had become more political…I believe some of his co-workers stated that he had kind of detached himself when the topic of politics came up and walked away from them.” He added that it seems “ideology had infected him and had taken over.”

The Washington Post has fired now-former global opinions editor Karen Attiah after she appeared to celebrate the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. That comes amid a range of firings across multiple sectors of people who apparently have no self-control whatsoever, nor the common decency to practice it. Kirk was murdered by a far-left radical who had a "trans-furry" boyfriend while holding an open debate on a Utah college campus. The shooter, Tyler Robinson, fled after firing the fatal shot before his father and a youth pastor detained and turned him in a day later. For her part, Attiah reacted

When most people think of mayoral campaign promises, they picture fixing potholes, improving schools, or reducing crime. But Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist nominee for New York City mayor, is vowing to have the NYPD arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he dare show his face in the Big Apple. This isn't your typical political grandstanding. Mamdani wants to honor an International Criminal Court arrest warrant targeting Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza, stemming from the ongoing war that erupted after Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. The socialist firebrand claims that Netanyahu is committing genocide

Law enforcement has turned up striking new evidence in their investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including a confirmed DNA match linking the alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, to the crime scene, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Monday. Robinson’s DNA was present on a screwdriver found on a rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus as well as on a towel that was wrapped around the rifle that investigators found in the woods near the assassination site, Patel said during an interview on Fox & Friends. “I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel

The far-left New Republic, in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declared that Democrats’ responses condemning the killing were “too tasteful for the moment,” warned that “empathy helps prop up Republicans and Trumpists as legitimate and normal political actors,” and urged Democrats to adopt a “callous, perhaps, but short of cruel” tone — even suggesting they say, “I’m sorry his family is suffering.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson flippantly joked with friends on Discord that his “doppleganger” was the one who shot the conservative activist after the feds released his photos while he was on the run, a report said. The 22-year-old accused assassin’s chats with his pals lit up on the social media messaging platform Thursday afternoon, when the FBI released grainy images of a lanky college-aged man in dark clothes during their hunt for Kirk’s killer, the New York Times reported. One of his virtual buddies noticed the similarity and tagged Robinson in a post with the FBI images, writing “wya”

NEW YORK — Gov.

A pledge by more than 4,000 actors and filmmakers, including some Hollywood A-listers, to boycott the Israeli film industry was met Saturday with a very public denunciation by Paramount. The mega studio is the first in Hollywood to condemn the anti-Israel pledge, as reported by Deadline. The outlet notes the controversial promise was issued in an open letter signed by some Hollywood luminaries including – but not limited to – Olivia Colman, Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Peter Sarsgaard, and Elliot Page, as well as director Ava DuVernay. The missive demanded the boycott, claiming Israel’s film studios are implicated in the Jewish state’s fight Palestinian terrorists and their supporters.

While it's been obvious from the beginning that Charlie Kirk's assassin was radicalized by left-wing ideology, the last 24 hours have been illuminating. For days, there has been a concerted attempt to claim Kirk was essentially responsible for his own death, not only suggesting that he deserved to be murdered for his viewpoints, but also that he was killed by someone on the right. That perverse gambit has manifested in two ways. Large left-wing accounts, including prominent Democrats like David Shuster, Adam Kinzinger, and Laurence Tribe, have outright claimed Tyler Robinson was a "right-wing" MAGA adherent. Meanwhile, instead of pushing back on those falsehoods,

We are saturated in the climate of violence that the Democrats and their media adjunct have fostered.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block a lower court order authorizing a trans-identifying South Carolina student to use the school bathroom of her choice. In an unsigned order, the high court rejected an emergency request from South Carolina to stay a temporary order by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling, as described by left-wing SCOTUSblog, “requires a South Carolina school district to allow a transgender student to use the boys’ bathroom while the teen’s challenge to a state law that requires students to use the bathrooms that correspond to their biological sex” continues to make its way through the courts.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy. While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern activism.

A public school teacher has been suspended after allegedly showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to students as young as 10 in his class, authorities in Canada said. The teacher also suggested that Kirk deserved to be killed, and gave the young students a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues, according to a report. “Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatized at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over,” a source told the Toronto Sun after the shocking incident at a school in Toronto on Thursday.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, conservatives are angry. We don’t want violence, but we do want justice. We want Kirk’s killer brought to justice and the left crushed. Finding Kirk’s assassin might prove easier than defeating the left. It’s difficult to rout an enemy who is suffering from a psychological problem. That problem is narcissism. Narcissism is not self-love, but the opposite. The narcissist is not full of ego. He has no sense of self. Lacking a stable sense of identity, the narcissist hunts for meaning in therapy, self-help, sex, or radical politics. This is the mental illness and the driving politics

Australia is once again trying to return to its roots as a prison colony, as the state of New South Wales reaffirmed that it is illegal to pray that “transgender” people will accept the sexes God gave them. It is difficult to wrap one’s mind around the fact that formerly Christian Western “democracies” like Scotland and Australia are actually enacting laws against prayer. Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) enacted a law earlier this year that the state’s attorney general, Michael Daley, just affirmed does in fact ban not only praying with but praying for people to recover from the mental illness

The California legislature passed a bill last week that would provide reparations to descendants of slaves in the form of college admissions — despite Proposition 209, which forbids the use of race in college admissions. The bill, AB 7, provides that California State University, the University of California, independent institutions of higher education … and private postsecondary educational institutions … may consider providing a preference in admissions to an applicant who is a descendant of slavery.” It applies to anyone “who can establish direct lineage to a person who, before 1900, was subjected to American chattel slavery.”

New York and New Jersey did not issue orders to lower flags for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, leaving Bergen County under fire for following state protocol instead of President Trump’s proclamation. Trump signed a directive Wednesday ordering U.S. flags nationwide lowered through Sunday at 6 p.m., calling Kirk “a truly Great American Patriot.” Flags at the White House came down that afternoon. But in New Jersey, the official state flag status listed “full staff,” and Bergen County followed suit. New York also kept their flag status high, while Pennsylvania and Delaware complied with Trump’s directive. Several other counties and municipalities in New Jersey did the same.
