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.

“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.

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,”

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.

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.

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.

A judge has thrown out the top counts in Luigi Mangione’s state murder case – rejecting claims that the accused killer can be charged as a terrorist — in a huge blow to prosecutors.
In a ruling released Tuesday, Judge Gregory Carro tossed charges of murder in the first degree as an act of terrorism and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism against the 27-year-old Ivy League grad.
The judge did keep alive Mangione’s other second-degree murder charge. The decision means that Mangione still faces 25-years-to-life in the state case, but not the 25 years to life without the possibility of parole that he had been facing.

The left is evil. The left is a gang of terrorists. If you have any lingering doubt about that, consider this: first they were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, but now leftists are making those celebrations look practically innocent. Hit lists have begun to appear on social media, as bloodthirsty leftists indulge their fantasies about which of their designated enemies they would like to see murdered next. And yes, there is no doubt whatsoever that the people who are openly displaying their bloodlust in this way think all the while that they occupy the moral high ground.

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.

A Democrat running to be the top law enforcement official in the state of Ohio is facing backlash for a series of social media posts disparaging Charlie Kirk in the days after the conservative activist was assassinated. "F*** Charlie Kirk," Elliot Forhan, Ohio Democratic candidate for attorney general and former state representative, posted on Facebook on Monday, days after Kirk was gunned down while speaking to a large gathering of students at a Utah university. "Charlie Kirk was a champion of tyranny, not democracy," Forhan said in another post. "We should not pretend otherwise." In another Facebook entry, Forhan shared
