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.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a terrorist attack meant to discourage the conservative movement. Even before authorities had suspected sniper Tyler Robinson in custody, we knew it was likely the work of a radicalized mind brainwashed by far-left extremist rhetoric so vile that he thought it was okay to kill someone.
Where does this radicalization come from? Follow the money.Conservative Mike Cernovich was correct in his Wednesday X post calling for a congressional investigation into the funding of far-left extremism. Our political climate is not an accident. Provocative leftist ideologies pushed with guerrilla marketing are used to manipulate weak minds. Influence always costs money when the message is not pure enough to
The transgender 'partner' of Charlie Kirk's shooter shared a post online appearing to show support for President Joe Biden, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Lance Twiggs, a 22-year-old wannabe pro gamer, and roommate of main suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, made the remark in a Reddit post.(snip)Lancelott3 also told members of an ‘ex-Christian’ subreddit that he ‘was told I was possessed by a demon and then within 30 mins kicked outta the house because I started laughing and wouldn’t go to the bishop for a blessing'(snip)_ family appear to be conservative Christians(snip) sister follows Kirk’s widow Erika on Instagram.(snip)
Robinson has been linked to a ‘furry’ website.
Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.
Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson’s roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, “We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.”
Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.
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.”
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
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

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,

NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday urged New Yorkers to vote for Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City, giving the Democratic nominee one of his most significant endorsements to date in the contest to lead the nation’s biggest city.
Writing in the New York Times’ opinion section, Hochul said that while she and Mamdani diverged on some issues, they came together on the importance of addressing the affordability crisis in the city and across the state.
“But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe
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. I wish his message would die with him.”
In an article titled “Charlie Kirk and the Empathy Trap” — with the subhead, “Democrats will never be as cruel as Republicans after a political assassination. That’s to their credit. But it may not be to their advantage”

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

Kirk Assassination, and Her Double-Down

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
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.
Why the Left is So Hard to Defeat

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.
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.
