The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether PRO-TRANS, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned. Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen. The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk...

[Catholic Caucus] Exclusive: Cardinal Gambetti says we’re waiting on the Pope to decide on the Latin MassThe Catholic Herald has secured an exclusive response from Cardinal Gambetti on the future of the Traditional Latin Mass. The young curial cardinal, regarded by many as a handpicked protégé of Pope Francis, offered a brief but telling reply. The Catholic Herald asked the Cardinal whether we could inquire about the Traditional Latin Mass and its future status. He responded: “Better not answer that. I have been told that we will wait for the Holy Father to decide.” The remark is notable for its...

The Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens did not pay tribute to Charlie Kirk before their NFL games on Sunday following his assassination in Utah this week. The New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys all halted proceedings before their respective kickoffs to remember the life of the 31-year-old MAGA star. Daily Mail has contacted the Lions, Bengals and Ravens to ask why they did not honor Kirk. There are still six NFL games to be played this weekend.

How the Vatican II Revolution Exchanged One Type of Sidewalk Counseling for AnotherThe world sees the Catholic Church today that is presented by the cafeteria-Catholics in the pews and the false shepherds in Rome, whose words and deeds tell the world that souls do not really need to be Catholic, let alone follow what the Church has always taught. As long as Rome allows this reality to persist, many people who hear the Catholic pro-life message will naturally (but falsely) conclude that the Church’s teaching is no more than a recommendation — if it was truly something God commanded us...

A longtime community advocate employed in the administration of Mayor Eric Adams was fired on Thursday after he posted critical remarks about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk a day following Kirk’s fatal shooting in Utah on Wednesday. On his Facebook account, Tony Herbert reposted a meme that said: “CHARLIE KIRK SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE DISPARAGING IMMIGRANTS, DISRESPECTING WOMEN, AND BLAMING BLACK FOLKS, ONLY TO GET SHOT IN ONE OF THE WHITEST PLACES ON EARTH.” In his posting Herbert added: “you hit the nail right on the head or should i say racist!!” Herbert later shared a video saying he was happy...

TMZ founder Harvey Levin is facing massive backlash after his staff was caught on camera cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative leader gunned down on a college campus this week. The clip sparked outrage online, with YouTube users flooding Levin’s channel with thumbs-down reactions and angry comments. At first, Levin tried to deflect, claiming the cheers were about a “car chase” unrelated to Kirk. But now, with public pressure mounting, Levin is changing his tune—and issuing a grim warning. “I am not gonna mince words. I fear a civil war,” Levin said. “Charlie Kirk is different. This is...

As Charlie began his radio show today, news broke that the one and only Rush Limbaugh had passed away at the age of 70 after a year-long battle with advanced lung cancer. Pivoting the entire show to honoring the man who shaped American conservatism for decades, Charlie recounts his never before told personal stories of meeting Rush Limbaugh for the first time, sharing meals and email correspondence with the legend who would become his personal friend and a treasured mentor. From receiving TPUSA's Lifetime Achievement Award to speaking at the 2019 Student Action Summit and introducing President Trump, all the...

The crowds were phenomenal. Pews always filled to capacity on Easter, but no one had ever seen anything like April 16, 1865… Shot on Good Friday and dead on Saturday: The timing of the assassination made Easter Sunday 1865 a particularly important—and confusing—occasion, as shocked mourners came to church for what should have been a day of rejoicing over both the resurrection of Christ and military victory. The reversal of fortunes was manifested materially, as churchwomen rearranged the colorful springtime displays they had readied. Easter decoration had become something of a commercial enterprise by the mid nineteenth century…As a congregant...

It has not been a pretty summer for consumers at California’s supermarkets. That’s what my trusty spreadsheet found when averaging slices of Consumer Price Indexes for three Golden State metro areas: the Los Angeles/Orange County combo, San Francisco and San Diego. This summer’s pricing – June through August’s reports – shows that prices in the “food at home” category across those three metros grew at an average 3.3% annual rate this summer. So, grocery inflation more than doubled from 1.5% in 2024. Yes, food at home inflation is nowhere near the pandemic era’s inflation surge that saw grocery prices balloon...

According to a witness, he traveled about 15 yards through the memorial, kicked over flowers, vases and flags and balloons

Daily Readings from the USCCBFor God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. John 3:16–17If Jesus would never have given His life on a cross for the salvation of the world, then a cross would never have been seen in “exultation.” A cross, in and of itself, is an instrument of death, a horrific and violent death. It’s also...

There are a lot of people talking about not seeing Tyler Robinson leaving the rooftop with the rifle. But I don't see anyone asking if he could even made the shot. I'm no expert, but taking a single shot and killing your target at 200 yards requires more than a little experience shooting a gun. At that range the bullet is going to be affected by wind (if there was any), by a drop of several inches (or more) due to gravity, and shooting from a higher elevation is going to require compensation. Where did Tyler Robinson learn enough to...

PATHETIC: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R): “Charlie [Kirk] said some very inflammatory things and some corners of the web that’s all people have heard.” How is preaching Biblical values “inflammatory?” This makes my bl00d boil!

Have they ever released a photo of the Rile used by Tyler Robinson? I recently inherited a Mauser from WWII, and I'm confident that the one he used was not that style, but I am curious as to how he carried it due to it's length. They don't seem to be easily dis-assembled. Was the stock cut down?

Irony of ironies, the British government, which oppressed its American colonists to the point of revolt, is now doing the same on its own island. English law, which provided the foundation for our own laws and our own freedoms, including freedom of speech, is now being used to suppress and silence British patriots. Britons are now literally put in prison for expressing opinions that in America are taken for granted as a protected right. Offending a pervert in Britain is a serious crime. The oppression stems from unrestricted immigration, especially of Muslims, who share nothing with classic British liberal values,...

The FBI tried keeping the gender identity of the trans partner of Charlie Kirk's alleged killer a secret because he had been 'extremely cooperative' with authorities.

In July 1964, Jackie Kennedy visited her mother and stepfather, Janet and Hugh Auchincloss, at the family’s homestead, Hammersmith Farm in Newport. She was suffering greatly. It had been just eight months since she witnessed the murder of her husband, John F. Kennedy, in Dallas on November 22, 1963. One afternoon during this visit, Jackie dragged herself down to the beach to join Janet and her son (Jackie’s half-brother), Jamie Auchincloss, under an umbrella. She looked dreadful, medicated, and hungover. Janet was as annoyed as she was worried. “Jacqueline,” she began—and this is according to Jamie’s memory of the conversation—“we’ve...
