Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson, suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, believed Kirk's views on gender identity were "hateful" to people like Robinson's transgender roommate, six sources familiar with the case tell Axios. Why it matters: Investigators believe Robinson's anger at Kirk's views could be a key to establishing a motive for the slaying of the controversial activist whose death sent shockwaves through American politics. Each of the six sources familiar with the investigation told Axios that investigators believe Robinson had a romantic relationship with his roommate. Zoom in: Axios' sources said investigators initially wanted the information about the roommate's...

The day after Charlie Kirk was killed, an acquaintance of Tyler Robinson’s posed a question to him in a group chat. The F.B.I. had just released two grainy surveillance images of a skinny young man in a cap and sunglasses walking in a stairwell on the Utah Valley University campus, and had asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspect. Tagging Mr. Robinson’s username on Discord, a messaging platform, the acquaintance attached the images and wrote “wya” — where you at? — with a skull emoji, suggesting that Mr. Robinson, 22, looked like the man being sought. Mr. Robinson...

How can people find out ahead of time about vigils or any gatherings to honor Charlie Kirk? I live in NW Washington state. I would like to attend one in my area.

The backlash against FBI Director Kash Patel over the bungled search for Charlie Kirk's assassin has intensified as it emerged he went on an expletive-laden rant against his staff over the failures. Patel came under fresh fire after it emerged that suspect Tyler Robinson had finally been arrested for the alleged murder of Kirk, 31, after being turned in by his own family. Robinson's arrest Thursday night came after a 33-hour manhunt in which two other men were wrongfully detained. The mix-up led Patel to incorrectly announce that investigators had someone in custody on Wednesday before he was forced to...

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was seen kissing his trans partner just two weeks before the conservative activist's death, according to reports. [cut] Fox News revealed last night that the couple shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Then, the pair's neighbour Josh Kemp, 18, confirmed the report - adding: "I saw them holding hands. They drove off in Tyler's car. It was about two weeks ago. "They looked like they were a couple and he was dressed all in black. "I thought he was weird because of the way he walked and I've never seen anyone dressed like that. He...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday condemned the presence of Russian drones in Romanian territory.The Kremlin’s air surveillance in Ukraine has persisted while unmanned aircrafts have been reported in neighboring nations this week.“The Russian military knows exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can operate in the air. Their routes are always calculated. This cannot be a coincidence, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders,” Zelensky said in a statement on X.“It is an obvious expansion of the war by Russia – and this is exactly how they act. Small steps at first, and eventually...

[Catholic Caucus] Why the ‘good bishops’ keep disappointing the faithfulCatholic World Report has done a great service to readers today, by dipping into the magazine’s archives and posting an article by the late, great James Hitchcock, Conservative Bishops, Liberal Results. Originally published in the May 1995 issue (when I was serving as editor), the article explores a phenomenon that still puzzles many faithful Catholics. Why is it that so many good bishops—bishops who have the enthusiastic support of Catholics loyal to the perennial traditions of the Church—fail to bring about any discernible changes in the actual working of their dioceses?...

His voice, so strong and clear, had carried conviction, truth, and a call to courage in a time when voices like his were desperately needed. And yet, just as quickly as he rose, the microphone fell silent. I came across a simple illustration that captured the moment more powerfully than words could. In the drawing, Charlie stood in heaven, embraced by the Lord. With humility, he asked: “Do You think someone will pick it up, Lord?” The Lord’s...

Dozens of social media posts and messages about the murder of Charlie Kirk, including some that celebrated his death, are being spotlighted by conservative activists, Republican elected officials and a doxxing website as part of an online campaign to punish the posters behind the messages. Prominent far-right influencer Laura Loomer, a US senator, and a site called “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” have all drawn attention to people who have posted messages about Kirk’s Wednesday assassination. The campaigns show how social media posts or personal messages — even by accounts with few followers or from people who are not public figures —...

By Dr. John BergsmaA paradox is an apparent contradiction or counterintuitive statement that, upon further examination, may, in fact, be true. Some famous paradoxes include Socrate’s statement: “I know one thing: that I know nothing.” There are paradoxes in psychology, like the fact that when one pursues happiness itself, one is miserable; but when one pursues something else, one achieves happiness. There are paradoxes in mathematics, like the fact that most people’s friends have more friends than they do (it’s true!). Or in physics: light particles act like bullets if you watch them but waves if you don’t (it’s true)....

Common within Maya culture was the practice of dental modification, which usually involved filing teeth into distinctive shapes, engraving designs, or drilling holes and embedding stones such as jade or pyrite. Scholars had previously thought that these procedures were only performed on adults, but Phys.org reports that a new study suggests for the first time that some children may have also participated in the ritual. The evidence came from three Maya teeth inlaid with jade stones that are in the collections of Francisco Marroquín University's Popol Vuh Museum. Researchers recently reexamined the teeth -- a maxillary central left incisor, a...

Musk talks to the huge British crowd at the massive demonstration in London today. He mentions the gang rapes of under age British girls by illegal alien gangs (mostly Pakistani). He also touches on the compulsory payment of TV license fees in Britain to finance the BBC which essentially is waging a war on the British people, paid for by British tax payers. And Tommy Robinson himself jailed for essentially free speech violations. And more. Worth watching, only 15 minutes long.

In light of Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination, Today is the day not to despair, but to place your ETERNAL trust in Jesus Christ (Prov. 3:5-6, John 3:16-17)! We, as a post-American nation, need to make Almighty God and His Word our treasure and our possessive reality today (Gen. 15:1, Prov. 3:5-6, Matt. 6:33)! We need to fully receive and believe His Word with all our hearts and seek His perfect will for us in such days until He comes! That is what Charlie Kirk was doing with all his heart, soul, and mind, and we should follow suit (Matt. 11:28-30;...

Dear friends, in light of Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination, Satan has used Saul Alinsky more than any of his demonically possessed tools to erode and destroy America culturally and socially. To the godless, demonic American Left, Saul Alinsky's demonic Rules for Radicals are the demonically inspired blueprint they have followed religiously for destroying our American Judeo/Christian society and culture. In following them, they follow Alinsky's master Lucifer (i.e., Satan), their godless and hate-filled destructive bent as well to their ETERNAL doom and end (Matt. 25:41,46)! It is so ETERNALLY tragic that a man or woman, who is just a vain...

Manitoba's premier says comments a cabinet minister reposted about U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk on the day he was shot are concerning, but that she will remain in cabinet. Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine shared a message from @che_jim, a U.S.-based Indigenous activist, for several hours Thursday on her Instagram page before removing it. The post criticized Kirk as a "racist, xenophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic" individual who "stood for nothing but hate." Premier Wab Kinew said Friday he spoke to Fontaine after he found out about the post and asked her to issue an apology. "I wrote my will before the last...
