The parents of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who admitted to assassinating Charlie Kirk, once encouraged their son’s intense interest in firearms by gifting him a “build your own gun” kit for Christmas. Robinson’s fascination with guns was well-documented by his family, who frequently posted photos of their visits to shooting ranges. Images show Robinson as a teenager proudly holding high-powered weapons, including an M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun, a scoped rifle, and even a bazooka. His mother, Amber Robinson, and his younger siblings appeared to embrace this lifestyle, as evidenced by pictures showing smiling faces at the range, even...

KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat NEW: In December 2024, Lance Twiggs—the transgender roommate of Charlie Kirk’s shooter—changed his Steam name from “Lance” to “Luna.” The account matches his TikTok username and links to a Reddit profile active in transgender forums discussing hormones and transitioning.

I want to front load this post by making something abundantly clear. I am not complaining about my channel nor am I feeling sorry for myself. If you leave this post with that impression, that is something that you have projected onto me. There is a broader point that I am trying to make with this post. This is a graph showing my daily subscriber count. Yesterday, I posted a video with some thoughts on the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. On the graph, you can see that the result (which I kind of expected) was a mass exodus of...

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen paid tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk during Friday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants by wearing a hat on the mound that featured Kirk’s name alongside a cross. Treinen, who speaks openly about his faith, came into the Dodgers’ game in the ninth inning, and fans noticed that the pitcher had a message written on his cap.

Democrats so enjoyed forcing Americans to do silly things during COVID, like starving their children of oxygen and letting Grandma die alone, that they leapt right back to their hectoring at the Senate hearing this week with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Blithely unaware that public health authorities have become objects of seething hatred throughout the land, Democrats -- and a few Republicans -- harangued Kennedy for not trusting "science" and "experts." Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., began the idiot-fest by accusing RFK of prevaricating during his confirmation hearing when he claimed to be "pro-safety and pro-science."...

How dare they steal the breath for a faithful man

Polling shows Zelensky trailing rivals, mired in corruption woes, and stalling peace talks—his halo fading fast at home and abroad. You won’t hear this from the mainstream press, but you’ll hear it here first: Volodymyr Zelensky, the Western media’s darling, is in real political trouble at home. I just commissioned credible polling from inside Ukraine. The war-weary population there wants a new president and a negotiated peace. This reality makes Zelensky less a heroic statesman and more a vulnerable incumbent with a perverse incentive: to keep slow-walking peace, continue milking Western taxpayers, and delay the elections he’s almost certain to...

Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James better mend fences — or pay up. James is set to appear before an administrative law judge Oct. 8, where she faces up to $500 in fines for having a 5-foot, 6-inch high fence in front of her multi-family home in the Clinton Hill Historic District. The brownstone is the focus of a federal mortgage fraud investigation. The city Buildings Department slapped the far-left pol with the summons July 23 after fielding at least three anonymous complaints since April which claimed the black iron fence exceeded the 4-foot height limit, records show. New...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has gained widespread attention for his remarks on the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Republican has called the violent incident on the campus of Utah Valley University “an attack not just on an individual but on democratic principles.”Cox also gained traction after telling reporters he was “praying” Kirk’s alleged shooter would be from out-of-state or not a U.S. citizen. “For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn’t be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country… Sadly,...

President Trump needs to return America to its original and authentic conservative economic policy: the American System of protective tariffs. President Ronald Reagan built the most successful political coalition in modern American history. His juggernaut—an alliance of social conservatives, neoconservatives, and economic liberals—routed the Democrats. Reagan won over 90 percent of the electoral college in 1980, and a staggering 97 percent in 1984. Capital-R Republicans have smugly celebrated this triumph ever since. In fact, Reagan’s Coalition was so successful that uniting these disparate interests became Republican doctrine. Any who dared question this political logic—or perhaps, as Patrick Buchanan correctly pointed...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination a nation has awakened. 11 m 29 s

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight. What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause. This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back". That means different things to different people. Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket,...

WASHINGTON — The funeral for conservative activist Charlie Kirk is scheduled for Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals — and President Trump has already promised to attend. Turning Point USA invited supporters to join them “in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend,” whose “life was a testament to faith, courage, and conviction.” Trump said Friday he was going to attend the funeral after addressing the nation Wednesday night in an emotional tribute. “To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination...

Elon Musk has now appeared via video at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march led by Tommy Robinson, telling the crowd that ‘the left are the party of murder’ in a reference to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The X owner said that there was something ‘beautiful’ about being British, adding: ‘There is so much violence on the left, with our friend Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. ‘The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing...

Meet Lexi Kuenzle. She’s one of the good ones. Yesterday, in front of a nurses station — with 8 (eight) nurses & a PATIENT — Dr. Matthew Jung said in front of everyone, “I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it.” Lexi, a registered nurse, was the ONLY one that spoke up: “You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die.” Lexi said you could hear a pin drop & no one said anything, including the patient. She reported the incident to management & — after she got home — posted about it & Dr....

Twenty-six officers have been injured while policing a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, which saw up to 150,000 people march through central London. Tensions flared at the Unite the Kingdom rally, with some protesters throwing bottles and other projectiles at police, the Metropolitan Police said – leaving four seriously hurt.

The Met said 25 people had been arrested for a range of offences in what it described as "wholly unacceptable" violence. A huge policing...
