U.S. — In the days following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, universities across the country were quietly canceling their "Kill Conservatives 101" classes. Sources said these classes had been put on hold until they could be renamed and rebranded for the spring 2026 semester. "We figured these classes might be frowned upon by some people, considering the circumstances," said gender studies professor Professor Xindi Mavis (she/them) of Utah Valley University. "We invite our students to enroll in some of our alternative classes, such as Communist Liberation 101 and Trans Furry Culture 101." Some conservatives believed the prevalence of official university...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.” Luke 6:43–44What a great way to examine the direction of your life! This Gospel passage gets to the heart of how we can best discern whether or not we are truly fulfilling the will of God. Oftentimes we may struggle with knowing clearly if we are doing that which God wants...

The teenage boy who shot two schoolmates and then himself at a high school in Evergreen, Colorado, Wednesday, was “radicalized by some extremist network” before the attack, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The shooter, 16-year-old Desmond Holly, has reportedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His two victims were transported to Denver-area hospitals, where they remained in critical condition, Thursday, the Denver Post reported. Investigators believe he opened fire at the school just before 12:30 p.m. Spokeswoman Jacki Kelley did not provide details about Desmond’s radicalization other than the the fact the evidence was found in Desmond’s phone...

Shortly after Kirk, 31, was shot Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah, Aaron Sharpe, co-owner of Lucius Q in Cincinnati, commented on a Facebook post from someone offering prayers for the husband and father of two. "Good riddance," Sharpe wrote in a post that is no longer publicly visible but has been circulated widely online in screenshots. "What a piece of s---," he added. On Wednesday evening, Sharpe doubled down on Facebook, posting, "Don't you dare come at me with your hypocrisy. … If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business...

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has changed everything. In the thousands of articles that have already been written about his murder and in the millions of social media posts that have flooded the internet since his death, it is obvious that this historic event has profound meaning for America and the rest of the world. With the corporate news media’s active assistance, the targeted assassination attempt of an entire softball field of Republican lawmakers eight years ago was transformed into an artificial kumbaya moment celebrating bipartisanship in D.C. When President Trump escaped a similar assassination attempt last year by a...

A local Democratic lawmaker in the Miami area is facing demands for his resignation after posting a message on social media stating that Charlie Kirk was a “fitting sacrifice” to gun manufacturers following the conservative activist’s assassination at a Utah college this week. Steve Cody, a councilman in the Miami-Dade village of Palmetto Bay, sparked outrage this week when he wrote on Facebook: “Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names.” He insisted he will not resign, noting he is term-limited and intends to serve through 2028. Palmetto Bay Mayor Karyn Cunningham...

Two more pilots publicly cheering Charlie Kirk’s death, and even smearing the centrist Republican as a “Nazi”: Sydney Katherine Farruzi, who wears female clothing in the cockpit, and Seattle-based captain Teri Lyn Poulton. Is this a systemic problem with your flight crew, @Delta ?

The murder of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte’s light rail was not only a savage crime—it was the inevitable result of a national agenda of progressive “justice reform,” funded by outside NGOs and executed by local officials who put “equity” ahead of public safety. Charlotte is just the latest example of how this machine works: money flows in, jails are emptied, and the public is left to pay the price. As ZeroHedge aptly summarized, It seems as if the very pillars the Democratic Party has built itself on, whether social and criminal justice reform, progressive judges, or its dark-money-funded NGO complex,...

Yesterday, I published The Geometry of Blindsides, my small-picture take on the death of Charlie Kirk. Today, I want to do what I didn’t do then. This is my big-picture take on Charlie Kirk’s death. I have two points to make. The first point is for those on the right declaring, in their grief, that this means war. Whether or not war is the correct answer to “What is the current state of things?” is above my pay grade. But I do need to point out something almost nobody is taking seriously enough.

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook should be banned from the central bank’s upcoming meeting later this month after a Trump official got her “dead to rights” on allegations of mortgage fraud, former Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow told “Pod Force One.” “I mean, she doesn’t understand it, but she’s been fired,” Kudlow claimed to The Post’s Miranda Devine on the latest episode, out now. “…. She’s been fired for these allegations. The court doesn’t have to prove her guilty or not, by the way. If the president fires you, you’re fired. “The President appoints Federal Reserve governors,”...

SACRAMENTO, California — California lawmakers on Thursday sent Gov. Gavin Newsom legislation that would ban federal immigration agents from wearing masks while conducting raids throughout the state. The legislation, passed by Democrats over Republican objections in this deep blue state, would prohibit ski masks, balaclavas and other face coverings for local and federal law enforcement, as well as officials from other states operating in California. Another bill that would require law enforcement to wear badges or name tags identifying themselves was also on track to advance from the Capitol on Thursday. Newsom now has about a month to decide whether...
