Those people include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and members of the Kirk family, according to the report. "Violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders may view the memorial service or related events as attractive attack targets due to the attendance of these individuals, other senior US government officials, state and local government officials, and political activists and due to major international media attention," according to the memo issued...

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump had not tried to bring the country together after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Host Kristen Welker said, “How do you see Charlie Kirk’s legacy, Senator?” Kelly said, “Well, Charlie Kirk and I didn’t agree much politically. I’m Democrat, he’s clearly a Republican. He was one of my constituents. The one thing we did on is his right to be out there speaking about issues on college campuses like he was last Wednesday. He had every right to be there. I will give him a lot...

Erika Kirk mourned her late husband Charlie Kirk, who an extremist shot and killed on Wednesday with a bolt-action rifle from about 200 yards away on a college campus in Utah.

A 19-year-old has been arrested for destroying a community memorial for Charlie Kirk at conservative non-profit Turning Point USA's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Ryder Corral was charged with criminal damage and disorderly conduct for kicking over flowers, vases, flags and balloons as he forced his way through the public tribute.

Immediately after the murder of Charlie Kirk, Israeli street artist Dudi Shoval set out to memorialize the defender of Israel and Judeo-Christian values in a mural in Ashdod.

...He was a man of faith, proudly Christian, and he needed no professors to make him so. He was not college-educated. Neither was Abraham Lincoln. Today’s elite colleges are a stain on our culture. Charlie Kirk debated both listeners and antisemitic hecklers. The best of us learn from what is good and bad in ourselves, and in others. Charlie Kirk was a Zionist, as are all good Americans. To reach the divine we turn to King David and his Psalms, written originally in Jerusalem and in Hebrew. So it is to Israel where America must go for its salvation. The...

Arizona State University(ASU) could be in hot water with the Trump Justice Department after a club there accused the university of refusing to allow a vigil for Charlie Kirk without a slew of extra expenses and difficulties. College Republicans at ASU explained that university leadership would not let them hold a prayer vigil without a venue much too large for their purposes or a budget with a massive amount of security and administrative fees to top it off. Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the DOJ‘s civil rights division, promptly responded with a warning to the university that its...

An Obama judge issued an injunction on Thursday ordering Florida not only to halt the arrival of new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz but to begin dismantling the facility.

Analise Ortiz shot back at a LibsOfTiktok post accusing the Phoenix Democrat of “actively impeding and doxxing” immigration enforcement officials. The far-left lawmaker has posted alerts from local groups sharing locations of ICE agents attempting to apprehend illegal immigrants. The LibsOfTiktok post, which copied ICE Director Tom...

Terrifying video footage shows the moment a prosecutor was ambushed and killed in the Mexican border city of Reynosa on Monday. Ernesto Vázquez was driving his black Cadillac Escalade when a gang of assassins launched their attack on him on Hidalgo Boulevard, brazenly tossing a grenade at the back of the vehicle during afternoon rush hour . While clearly in agonizing pain, Vázquez was able to get out of the vehicle on his own and crawled across the pavement. The assailants then pulled up in a white Ford Explorer and opened fire on the defenseless official. Additional video footage showed...

***At the center of this shocking discovery is what investigators are calling the “Magic Mortgage” Money Laundering Scheme, which appears to be tied directly to ActBlue and its donor channels. This scheme allegedly uses inflated property sales and rapid same-day flips as a pipeline to funnel illicit funds through the U.S. financial and political systems.In a years-long investigation, Finchem’s team, along with whistleblower Shawn Taylor, a former law enforcement officer from Millersville, Tennessee, have uncovered patterns of multiple same-day property transfers where values were inflated by as much as 100 times the original sale amount within hours.***The Press Release That...
