Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued a memorandum to all United States Attorneys highlighting the Department of Justice’s policy to prevent and act upon violations of parental rights and First Amendment liberties in educational settings. Bondi directed United States Attorneys to work with federal, state, and local partners to identify and respond to credible threats against parents whose federal rights have been violated. 20250908-AG-Bondi-Memo by scott.mcclallen "The First Amendment guarantees the right of every citizen to speak freely, assemble peaceably, and petition the government for redress of grievances-including at public school board meetings," the memo said.

A predictable reaction to the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk among legacy media outlets has been to condemn the ugly tenor of America’s political debate and call for a timeout. On its face, the plea sounds reasonable enough, but it rests on the false idea of both-sidesism, as if left and right are equally to blame for the frightening rise of political violence. Count that as another Big Media lie and a repugnant effort to obscure the actual source and motivation of the assassination scourge. There are not two sides contributing to the horror and equally responsible for it. The...

After a 22-year-old assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday apparently motivated by extremist beliefs, one Democratic influencer is trying to make the murder about him. David Hogg, the vice chair of the Democratic National Convention, advocates for gun control through the group March For Our Lives. “If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the fuck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible and raise as much money as you can to primary Dems who refuse to...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is tearing into conservatives who “immediately” blamed Democrats for the death of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing activist and President Donald Trump ally who was fatally shot Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Crockett condemned the partisan rhetoric during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club.” “I hate that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle immediately came out and they were like, ‘Oh, you know, this is on the Democrats,’” Crockett said Friday. “Like, we don’t even know who did what. And ya’ll are like, ‘This is on the Democrats.’” Numerous conservatives have argued...

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...

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.
