The folks at EnergySage took some time to debunk several major myths about going solar. The scoop One of the big myths they addressed was that solar panels don't work in the winter. "Despite the snowstorms and shorter days, solar panels will still generate enough power in the winter to provide savings on your electricity bill," according to an article published on EnergySage's website. "And if your panels do get covered in snow, they won't be for long. The smooth surface and angled orientation means any accumulated snow typically slides off once the sun comes out." .....

Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk's murder - with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he 'deserved' his fate. Mr Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump's ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties.

@SenRandPaul Charlie Kirk was relentless in his pursuit of open debate—even with his fiercest critics. Gifted, fearless, and driven by a fierce love for his kids and country, he faced the risks head-on because he believed in a better future. He sounded the alarm of rising political violence and a culture of assassination, long before most dared to speak. His clarity was unmatched. I’m utterly devastated and saddened. What a tragic day. Charlie Kirk was a friend to Kelley and I and an amazing messenger for limited, Constitutional government and individual liberty. We will miss him.

CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — In the ongoing fight to keep the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun in the state, Gov. Ned Lamont pitched a new plan for the state itself to become an investor in the franchise through the multibillion-dollar public employee pension funds it manages.News 8 first reported high-level talks about the pension fund investment plan last week.

With the Assassination of Charlie Kirk, We Now Have Our Own MLK — A Martyr for Judeo-Christian Values. In moments of national grief, clarity often emerges. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has shocked millions — not just for the brutality of the act, but for what it represents. This was not merely a man taken from us. This was a cultural line crossed, a moment when standing for faith, family, and country became a fatal act in modern America. Charlie Kirk was not just a commentator or activist. He was a firebrand for truth — unashamed of proclaiming that men...

Visibly angry and upset, Donald Trump described Charlie Kirk as a martyr for truth and freedom, as he paid tribute to a man he considered to be not just a close friend, but also someone who played a significant role in his re-election and in shaping the MAGA movement. Trump directly blamed radical left-wing politics for contributing to this atrocity and other recent violent political attacks. He noticeably did not mention recent murders and violent attacks against Democrats. Often atrocities like this create an atmosphere of political unity. Many senior politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have responded by saying this...

EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s recruitment efforts are proving to be a quick success with 141,000 applications and 18,000 tentative job offers since the recruitment push started at the end of July. The Trump administration launched a campaign earlier this summer to boost ICE staff, including by offering major perks, such as up to $50,000 as a sign-on bonus, student loan forgiveness and special retirement benefits. "ICE has received more than 141,000 applications from patriotic Americans who want to defend the homeland by removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the U.S. We have already given more...

Keep your tip-sy to yourself! Gov. Kathy Hochul is in hot water for telling parishioners at a largely black church not to buy booze with their incoming state “inflation refund” checks — with fellow pols slamming her comments as tone-deaf and “demeaning.” “It reduces whole communities to harmful stereotypes and strips away the dignity of parents and children alike,” said her estranged Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, who, along with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), blasted Hochul as racially insensitive. Hochul was speaking about rebate checks — which will be sent to eligible residents starting later this month through November — at...

DeSantis really angry over the assassination of Charlie, Demands death penalty for assassin.

Don't forget the South Park episode from a few weeks ago. It was beyond disgusting. They roasted Charlie horribly, as well as President Trump and Jesus. The least funny and most awful episode I've seen. Parker and Stone got a billion and a half each at this time. Coincidence? Or are they toasting each other tonight? I hope they choke on it.

Mike Rowe talks about Charlie Kirk and their relationship Sorry if the transcript is a bit wonky The video that you should be watching right now is a really fun and light-hearted conversation between me and Theo Vaughn. That's what we were about to put up on YouTube. But our friend Charlie Kirk was just murdered. And it's like I don't really want to talk about this. It's too soon. But I can't put up a conversation with me and Theo Vaughn. I can't put up a conversation about anything. Ben Shapiro was coming in here tomorrow. Yeah. Which is...

As Israel mourns the loss of America’s young conservative leader, Palestinians mock and celebrate online, echoing past scenes of joy after U.S. tragedies. Yair Kleinbaum Sep 10, 2025 19:57 As the people of Israel, and all other civilized westerners, are mourning the passing of Charlie Kirk, thousands of Palestinians are responding to posts by Israeli influencers mourning his death with laughing emojis and mocking comments. On the Facebook page of one of Israel’s largest influencers, the Israeli rapper “The Shadow,” where Kirk was eulogized, hundreds of Arabs, including Arabs who enjoy the rights of every Israeli citizen, i.e Israeli-Arabs, published...

Charlie Kirk reminded us that a life of courage and virtue isn’t easy—but it’s worth living.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated while doing what he loved—talking with young people and getting them to ponder what they believe and why they believe it. Charlie was supremely effective at engaging with college-age crowds. The reason for this is because he was authentic. If he talked about Jesus, it's because he truly loved Jesus and he wasn't afraid to say so into a microphone in front of a thousand people, many of whom might not have been particularly receptive to the message. If he touted marriage, it's because he was married and knew that strong marriages are the core of...

Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday, pioneered a new model for conservative political advocacy, merging multi-platform media commentary with in-person gatherings and get-out-the-vote drives. Kirk, 31, was a hugely successful political field organizer, TikTok influencer, radio host, nonprofit leader and public speaker all rolled up in one telegenic figure. One minute, Kirk would be on Fox News promoting his friend President Trump’s agenda; the next, he would be on X or Instagram, inviting young people to start conservative groups at their high schools and college campuses. With Turning Point USA, the nonprofit he co-founded in 2012 at...

https://x.com/charliekirk11 is Charlie's X account. If you didn't make a habit of reading it (like me), there is so much good in here it's a wonder to peruse. No wonder they had to kill him to silence him. May God raise up 100 in his place.
