LINK: Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Is Gearing Up Against Trump’s CounterrevolutionThis video by Dr. Victor Davis Hanson is, in my opinion, prescient. At the 6:42 mark (Click HERE to go directly to this passage) He states:“...We’re going to see the counterrevolution I think, succeed, with one caveat: we are going to see, in the next year, a frenzy, a frantic, almost out-of-mind reaction from the Left because they know that if this counterrevolution succeeds, it’ll be very difficult for them to push down and unpopular agenda down the throat of the American people. So brace yourself. We’re looking at...

progressive U.S.-based website paid online witches to curse conservative activist Charlie Kirk days before he was fatally shot during a student question-and-answer session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Why It Matters Political figures from both sides, including former President Barack Obama along with other prominent Democratic leaders have condemned the shooting of Turning Point USA co-founder Kirk but the article published by online magazine Jezebel, which has also since condemned the shooting, is likely to stir anger. What To Know The Jezebel article, titled "We paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" was published on Monday. It...

Jimmy Kimmel has taken to social media to weigh in on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and Donald Trump ally who died at 31 years old after being shot at a college event in Utah. Kimmel, one of Hollywood’s most vocal opponents of Trump, advised his followers to stop with the “angry finger-pointing” in the immediate aftermath of the Kirk’s death. “Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?” Kimmel wrote on Instagram. “On behalf of my family, we send love to the...

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is applauding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, saying the two-time NFL MVP showed "courage and conviction" after facing criticism for sharing Kirk’s faith-based post on X that read, "It’s all about Jesus." "I just want to say to Lamar… you are more than welcome in this big movement that we are building…" the conservative influencer told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, referencing reports of a Christian revival in America.

A demonic article from the rabid leftist website Jezebel has come back to haunt its editors following the murder of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Two days before a gunman killed Kirk in cold blood during an event at Utah Valley University, Jezebel called upon witches to perform some hocus pocus against the conservative activist: “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk.” The sub-headline needs no explanation: “If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.” If this doesn't classify as pure evil...

According to a statement released by The National Museum of Denmark, a small figurine long-hidden in its collections has recently been rediscovered and is providing new information about Viking Age fashions. The exquisitely carved, one-inch-tall object was whittled out of expensive walrus ivory and likely served as a gaming piece for a Viking Age game resembling chess. It was first discovered in a burial in Viken in 1797 and has been in the National Museum's storerooms for more than 200 years. However, it recently caught the attention of curator Peter Pentz, who was struck by the figurine's realistic features. Although...

Political strategist Matthew Dowd faced a grilling on social media after he speculated on MSNBC about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during an event at an Utah college on Wednesday. SNIP “But following up with what was just said, he’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures, in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech, or sort of aimed at certain groups,” Dowd said. “And I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions, and I think that’s the environment that we’re...

This may be the hardest column I’ve ever written, one where I’m so angry that it’s hard for me to put my words into a sequence that’s both coherent and not profane. They murdered Charlie Kirk today. They shot him dead because he dared to exercise his right as a human being to speak freely – contrary to what Democrat senators insist, our rights do not come from government but are endowed within us by our Creator. So, this was not merely a crime against one man, or against his beautiful family, but against both this country and our God....

President Donald Trump has delivered another blow in his ongoing battle with the pharma industry, signing a memorandum on Tuesday that directs the FDA to rein in direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising.The initiative, which has long been a priority for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is designed to roll back a 1997 policy shift that gave drugmakers a greater ability to advertise their products on television by relaxing the requirements on the information they must reveal about a treatment’s side effects.In his directive, Trump cited the power of the FDA—vested by Congress in 1962—to regulate drug...

An MSNBC guest sickly speculated that the person who shot Charlie Kirk in the neck could have been one of his supporters firing a gun “in celebration.” “We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration,” MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd told anchor Katy Tur shortly after Kirk was shot at a Utah university Wednesday. “We have no idea,” Dowd told the lefty network. “We don’t know any of the full details of this.” SNIP Police later confirmed a single shooter is believed to be behind the assassination – not a trigger-happy conservative, as Dowd suggested...

I've been watching CNN off and on since Charlie Kirk's murder. To me, they are being incredibly sympathetic and polite regarding the death of Kirk. I've seen CNN's spots too often. I wonder when the other shoe will drop having issue with him or even glee of his death Suspicious??

[Catholic Caucus] Do Not Be Conformed to the World…or to Church LeadersWhen the culture is benign, being a conformist works. But in a malignant culture, where the devil roams freely at the highest levels, beware conformity; it can kill body and soul.The word of the day for Catholics is “unity.” For the sake of it, entire congregations are ghettoized (TLM), bishops exiled (Strickland), faculties gutted (Sacred Heart), and dioceses fractured (Charlotte). Strange to think that the peculiar synodality project is more or less based on giving every wayward lifestyle and viewpoint a podium but the faithful who have dedicated their...

CHARLIE KIRK This is difficult to even write: we lost an extraordinary human-being and patriot today, who was murdered by an assassin's bullet. But Charlie's legacy will never, ever be silence. He touched and influenced not a few or a few thousand, but hundreds of thousands. I knew Charlie well over many years. We were together during Salem radio KRLA events in LA, I had him on TV and radio, I attended a few of his TPUSA events, he was a fan of my books, etc. He was a delight. Always curious. Happy. Joyous. Social. Articulate. Brilliant. Strategic. And much...

Here’s what we know so far: The victim: 31-year-old Kirk personified the pugnacious, populist conservatism that has taken over the Republican Party in the age of Trump. He launched his organization, Turning Point USA, in 2012, targeting younger people and venturing onto liberal-leaning college campuses where many GOP activists were nervous to engage. The shooter: The shooter wore dark clothing and fired from a roof on campus some distance away, Utah authorities say. FBI Director Kash Patel, who earlier in the day posted on social media that a “subject” had been taken into custody, later wrote that the person had...

2 facts about Charlie Kirk’s killer are VERY rare in the modern history of assassinations… 1) Firing ONLY one shot & it being perfect 2) Eluding capture until at least nightfall that day I would be willing to bet that this was not this killer’s 1st rodeo, & he may be a “pro.”
