The president of Turning Point USA’s University of Georgia chapter says the organization has strayed from the mission it had under the leadership of Charlie Kirk. Caroline Mattox wrote on Instagram that she could not in good conscience stay with an organization that has “strayed so far from its original purpose and principles.” Mattox is not the first TPUSA chapter president to express dissatisfaction with the organization’s current direction. The University of Arkansas chapter cut ties with TPUSA last month. Former President Dino Fantegrossi also expressed the sentiment that TPUSA had strayed from its original mission.

Chaos at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner turned surreal as a brief shooting scare involving Donald Trump triggered panic—while viral videos showed journalists fleeing with food and wine, sparking a “Wine Gate” controversy. Pre-event remarks by press secretary Karoline Leavitt about “shots fired” added an eerie twist, as the FBI now probes the incident amid global scrutiny.

Officers from the Northern District Police on Monday arrested a 40-year-old woman from the north who is employed as a doctor at a medical institution in central Israel, on allegations of making repeated death threats against the journalist, Mohammad Magadli. The investigation, which began covertly several weeks ago, focused on a series of phone calls Magadli received from unrecognized numbers. In one of the calls that were disclosed, the suspect threatened: "Within a week, I'll get to you, and I'll eliminate you." Upon receiving the report about the threats, the police utilized advanced technological means that led to the identification...

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is cranking the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, into overdrive – demanding a full accounting of shadowy international business trips and deals that stretch from the Horn of Africa straight into Kenya, Somalia and the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai. Omar has been making strange moves since February, after Comer fired off a no-holds-barred letter demanding every document and communication on Mynett’s travel and business dealings in Kenya, Somalia and the UAE.

First lady Melania Trump savagely criticized ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as a “coward” after he referred to her as “an expectant widow” two days before Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” Trump, 56, wrote in a post on X. The comic is facing severe backlash after Saturday’s shooting at the gala dinner, in which a Secret Service agent suffered minor injuries after a gunman charged a checkpoint in a bid to...

The aftermath of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting has taken a sharper turn after Elon Musk dropped a statement that is now driving intense debate across social media and political circles.In a post on X, Musk wrote, “If they’re willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power,” a line that didn’t just react to the incident, but expanded it into a much bigger warning about ideology, power, and what could come next.That single sentence reframed the entire conversation. It moved the focus away from one gunman and toward a broader fear that...

VIDEOThe most important thing about the "manifesto" written by the shooter at the White House Correspondents Dinner who wanted to assassinate President Donald Trump and those associated with him is that he sounds pretty much like the typical Democrat nowadays who consider Trump to be an "existential threat" to our country. Hopefully at least a few Democrats will realize where their violent TDS rhetoric is leading (such as the THREE assassination attempts upon the President) and ask themselves "Are we the Baddies?"

this got impossibly long and so i’m going to break it up into sections. this is section 1: theory there is an objective reality, but it can only be perceived and partaken of subjectively. we see what we expect to see, what we are told to seek, what we are taught to project and this makes the feedback loops of perception and reality into something both inescapable and unavoidable: your perceptions determine what meaning and substance you subjectively apply to the objective evidence of the world around you. (worse, it also biases which evidence you select to seek out in...

A video of Alex Lifeson, the guitarist of the band, “RUSH,” arguing with his parents about quitting high school to go into music. Alex’s dad wants him to follow him into the world of plumbing. If you are a fan like me, it’s an amazing video.

During the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) on April 25, 2026, a reported gunfire incident (described as shots fired in or near the lobby) caused panic, leading to an evacuation of attendees, including President Trump and other high-profile guests who were rushed out by security. In the chaos, viral videos emerged showing several guests—perhaps journalists, members of the press, or attendees—grabbing unopened bottles of wine and champagne from the tables as they left. One clip prominently features a woman picking up multiple bottles and walking out casually. Other people in the background are also seen carrying bottles. Key details: The...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a the wake of yet another failed assassination attempt against President Trump, leading Democrats across the nation announced they would observe the long-standing tradition of a five-minute pause in calling Trump "literally Hitler". "This is a time for healing, reflection, and lowering the temperature. Specifically, five minutes' time," said Representative Hakeem Jeffries. "Ugh, this five minutes is killing me. Has it really only been thirty seconds? Time passes so slowly when you're not calling someone Hitler." The coordinated pause began immediately after politicians had finished copying and pasting their public statements from the last assassination attempt...

A 20 story tower in San Francisco valued at $320 million dollars went up for auction There wasn’t a single bidder. Not even for $1 The property is now vacant, because no one wants to make the investment in Democrat run San Francisco High crime rates and homelessness are cited reasons for office buildings like this to not see purchasers Bidding for the property started at $80 million, but no offers. A massive decline in value WeWork used to be a major tenant occupying nearly 200,000 sq ft in this same building

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known. Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers. That is a fairly common theme in the social media posts of leftists, as are complaints that the various people who have tried to kill Trump don't have good enough aim. And,...

The suspect was ultimately stopped. But that isn’t proof that the system worked, in fact, it’s evidence that every decision made leading up to the moment didn’t.... Saturday’s assassination attempt is not proof that the Secret Service functioned as it should; it’s evidence that the Secret Service has failed Trump yet again.

Here in New York, we continue to wait for the announcement of the annual budget that was due on April 1. Negotiations among the Governor and legislative leaders continue, with one big open issue being the potential extension of the “net zero” deadlines of the Climate Act. While many issues may remain open, one thing on which there appears to be agreement is what they are calling the “pied-à-terre” tax — a real estate tax surcharge on New York City apartments valued at $5 million and up that are owned by people who are not permanent residents of New York....

Since the assassination of Lincoln, the press and academic culture have worked together to create a sense of moral purpose in killing Republican presidents.
