On Wednesday's edition of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish assembled an all-Dem Group Chat and -- whaddaya know? -- the panelists unanimously panned FBI Director Kash Patel's performance at his Senate hearing on Tuesday.The Group Chat consisted of:Garrett Graff--Cornish introduced him only as a "historian and journalist," conveniently forgetting to mention that he was the deputy press secretary on Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. Charlie Dent -- Cornish introduced him as a former Republican congressman. "Former Republican" is right! Dent endorsed Biden for president in 2020, stated that he voted for Kamala Harris in 2024, and endorsed Democrat Josh...

VIDEO AT LINK................... The Tulsa County Public Defender’s Office has become embroiled in controversy following a social media post by assistant attorney Chance Bennett, who commented “Good” in response to the news of the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado strongly condemned the comment, calling it a “total and absolute lack of human decency” and stating that “we cannot celebrate the death of another human being.” County Prosecutor Steve Kunzweiler also expressed his disapproval, noting that Bennett’s behavior is “inappropriate” for someone holding a legal position in Oklahoma. The Public Defender’s Office issued a statement...

ABC might want to get ready to look for a late-night show replacement and perhaps get ready to pony up millions more in damages after Jimmy Kimmel has been caught uttering a huge lie about the Charlie Kirk assassination. As The Gateway Pundit reported, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, last week. It was later revealed that the suspect was identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah. Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father, who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement. Utah authorities on Tuesday released the...

Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II? Was dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a moral failure — or a necessary act to end the war? And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings? PragerU CEO ‪@realtalkwithmarissa‬ invites historians David and Tim Barton for an in-depth discussion. David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has...

This is the modern Left: VIDEO AT LINK................. Non-political people are starting to pay attention and are beginning to learn who Charlie Kirk actually was. They're also learning what kind of people these leftist activists are.

A Southwest Florida radio station has seen its ratings skyrocket after ditching generic branding and going all-in on what listeners actually want: unapologetic, pro-America, pro-Trump content. The station has rebranded as “Trump Country”—and since March, ratings in key demographics have tripled. The station, now proudly flying the flag of common sense and conservative values, rolled out a new slogan: “Make Country Great Again.” Unlike the corporate, watered-down noise found on most airwaves, this station knows its audience—and delivers. The programming includes hard-hitting country music, America-first messaging, and even satirical promos voiced by a Trump impersonator. One mock promotion offered a...

Charlie Kirk Did It All the Right WayHe exposed the lies at the heart of radical left-wing ideologies—and paid the ultimate price for telling the truth.Like almost everyone in my circle, I have spent the better part of the last week in a stupor. The news of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination has left all of us who counted him as a friend or colleague in a state of shock and sadness.I did not know Charlie Kirk well. But I had met him in various green rooms, appeared on his radio program, and worked with him to find capable staffers...

Republicans in Congress are launching an aggressive campaign to punish individuals they accuse of posthumously smearing Charlie Kirk, threatening to bring them before lawmakers, defund entities that protect them and oust them from positions of power. They are also trying to castigate one of their own. On Monday evening, two House Republicans introduced resolutions to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) and remove her from her congressional committees for comments she made about the conservative influencer during an interview with liberal commentator Mehdi Hasan. During the interview, Omar expressed “empathy” for Kirk’s wife and children but also chastised those who “completely...

U.S. President Donald Trump sued The New York Times, four of its reporters, and publisher Penguin Random House for at least $15 billion, claiming defamation and libel, and citing reputational damage, a Florida court filing showed. Trump's suit cites a series of New York Times articles, one an editorial prior to the 2024 presidential election, which said he was unfit for office, and a 2024 book published by Penguin titled "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success." "Defendants maliciously published the Book and the Articles knowing that these publications were filled with...

In news that should not surprise anyone, the Biden regime had Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA squarely in its crosshairs. As Fox News reported, Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for an annual oversight hearing of the FBI on Tuesday morning. He has come under fire for his initial handling of the Kirk assassination by a radical left terrorist. During the hearing, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that an FBI whistleblower revealed to him an FBI project called “Arctic Frost” that targeted groups like Kirk’s TPUSA. “92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under the...

Charlie Kirk's alleged killer justified his actions by saying 'some hatred cannot be negotiated with', FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed. The embattled head of the bureau, who faces a Senate grilling on Tuesday over his handling of the investigation, revealed the shocking motive of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. 'I will say what was found in terms of information, a text message exchange, where the suspect specifically stated he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was gonna do that,' Patel told Fox News.

In an investigative report that rocked the legal community, NBC News landed interviews with a dozen federal judges about the Supreme Court’s record of pausing lower court rulings against Donald Trump without explanation on an emergency basis. At least 10 judges denounced the practice, with some warning that the Supreme Court’s unexplained rulings risked validating Trump’s attacks against judges that have sparked a wave of threats from his supporters. One judge expressed concerns that "somebody is going to die” absent efforts to address the situation.

An appeals court panel has ruled that the Trump administration can prevent Planned Parenthood Federation of America from receiving Medicaid funding, overturning a lower court decision.A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued an order against two injunctions issued by a district court against the defunding of Planned Parenthood.“We denied without prejudice as premature the defendants' motion to stay the injunctions pending the disposition of those appeals, while a motion for similar relief was pending in the district court,” read the brief order.“The July 21, 2025, preliminary injunction and the July 28, 2025,...

A large part of me feels filthy comparing the two because Charlie Kirk doesn’t deserve for anyone to lump him into the same category as George Floyd. Even if we accept the central thesis of the Black Lives Matter movement — that George Floyd was murdered in a senseless act of police violence — the circumstances between the two were extraordinarily different, and no one should lose sight of why: George Floyd was convicted of eight separate crimes between 1997 and 2005 alone. (It’s unclear how many times he was arrested.) In 2007, he was sentenced to four years in...

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...

Did Charlie Kirk say it is acceptable for people to die so we can have guns? Of course not. He actually gave a highly reasonable speech on the necessity of the right to keep and bear arms. We have seen an insane number of people commenting that it is perfectly fine and even wonderful that Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he justified gun violence. First of all, it is not right to laugh and dance about the murder of a young father in any case, but especially not in this case, when leftists are as usual grossly misrepresenting what he...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Turning Point USA has seen an unprecedented surge of support, with 18,000 new chapter applications pouring in overnight—double the number of existing chapters at the time of his death.Before the attack, the organization Kirk founded as a teenager had already grown into a powerhouse: 9,000 college chapters and 11 at the high school level. But following Erika Kirk’s emotional speech on Friday night—delivered just days after losing her husband—the movement exploded, not despite tragedy, but because of it. BREAKING: 🚨 Since Erika Kirk spoke, there have been 18,000 NEW Turning Point USA chapter...

Gun control activist and former Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg said in a social media thread Saturday that he wants his death politicized “before my blood runs cold,” contrasting with slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who had told his wife he hoped to be remembered for his “courage and his faith.” Hogg, who survived the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, wrote on X: “If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the f*ck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use...
