U.S. — Reports from across the country reveal millions of Christian extremists gathered in groups this morning to pray for the people who want to kill them. Though they shed tears of grief for the dead, the extremists collectively reaffirmed their belief in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. "Yes, we are grieved and sorrowful, and for all those hurting deeply, we pray to the Lord," said local man Greg Thompson. "And for those who have hurt us and celebrate our grief, we also pray to the Lord. We have seen the most heinous...

Many people attacked a grieving widow last night as she publicly addressed the nation. Erika Kirk mourned her late husband Charlie Kirk, who an extremist shot and killed on Wednesday with a bolt-action rifle from about 200 yards away on a college campus in Utah. The father turned in the 22-year-old to the police. If convicted, the shooter might face the death penalty. Tim Shorrock, who covers Korea for The Nation, a progressive monthly magazine, posted: "The evil doers have no idea what they've done." Charlie Kirk is apparently Jesus 2.0 and is "sitting next to his savior." A new...

The blame game over suspect Tyler Robinson's motives for shooting Charlie Kirk continued to play out this weekend with some on the left continuing to claim that Robinson was a Groyper or someone critical of Charlie Kirk but on the far right.There have been a lot of twists and turns in this story already. There was a report in the Guardian Friday that Tyler's high school classmate said he was pretty far left on everything but by Saturday those comments had been deleted from the story. However, CNN published its own story Saturday which included some similar comments from a...

It’s the first thing that comes to mind in awful situations like this—did a deranged psychopath act alone, or did he have help?In the aftermath of Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday by a young man who appears to have wildly leftist tendencies, authorities want to know if he was a lone wolf or whether his twisted internet “friends” had advance knowledge.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...

@CollinRugg JUST IN: President Trump says a lot of people are “under investigation” after being asked a question about Charlie Kirk. “They're already under major investigation, a lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the Left.”

Utah has had a lot to handle over the past week with the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk and hunting down his accused assassin. However, they had another disturbing issue to deal with, reports said on Sunday. Authorities are now saying that an "incendiary device" had been placed under a news media vehicle near an occupied building in Salt Lake City. It was discovered on Friday. The bomb had been lit, but it failed to function, according to the police. Police stated the device “constituted a significant threat to public safety.”The police took two men into custody...

Former convict Jumpsuitpablo gives the 411 on Tyler Robinson in jail even with picture. He says Robinson is not talking in his "Turtle Suit". Something to make you all smile.

Did Charlie Kirk say it is acceptable for people to die so we can have guns? Of course not. He actually gave a highly reasonable speech on the necessity of the right to keep and bear arms. We have seen an insane number of people commenting that it is perfectly fine and even wonderful that Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he justified gun violence. First of all, it is not right to laugh and dance about the murder of a young father in any case, but especially not in this case, when leftists are as usual grossly misrepresenting what he...

One of Zoe Crowther's children said that her life was 'overshadowed by a dark cloud of grief'A woman killed her friend then remained in the property with her body for 11 days.

When the door was not answered, a police officer climbed through an open kitchen window, reports the Manchester Evening News. Once inside the property the officer saw Janet Connor. When they walked into the living room, they found Zoe Crowther's body,...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Turning Point USA has seen an unprecedented surge of support, with 18,000 new chapter applications pouring in overnight—double the number of existing chapters at the time of his death.Before the attack, the organization Kirk founded as a teenager had already grown into a powerhouse: 9,000 college chapters and 11 at the high school level. But following Erika Kirk’s emotional speech on Friday night—delivered just days after losing her husband—the movement exploded, not despite tragedy, but because of it. BREAKING: 🚨 Since Erika Kirk spoke, there have been 18,000 NEW Turning Point USA chapter...

@RepThomasMassie Funding deadline is 9/30/25. @SpeakerJohnson is running the same swamp play as Pelosi, Ryan, Boehner: use a CR to “kick the can” to right before the holidays. Rather than give the same speech, I’m submitting last year’s speech, Sub “lawmaker security” for “fake border security”

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy. While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern...

The left is evil. The left is a gang of terrorists. If you have any lingering doubt about that, consider this: first they were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, but now leftists are making those celebrations look practically innocent. Hit lists have begun to appear on social media, as bloodthirsty leftists indulge their fantasies about which of their designated enemies they would like to see murdered next. And yes, there is no doubt whatsoever that the people who are openly displaying their bloodlust this way think all the while that they occupy the moral high ground.The Center Square reported...

A long list of veteran performers that included Seth Rogen, Britt Lower, Cristin Milioti, Noah Wyle, Hannah Einbinder and Jeff Hiller...

Well, here we go again. CNN tells us that a property tax revolt is spreading, with a nationwide movement to eliminate property taxes on the march.Most of us are familiar with the basic scenario of property taxation. Every state is replete with numerous political subdivisions commonly known as “municipal corporations.” These are counties, cities, school districts, fire districts, water districts, sewer districts, diking distraction, etc., etc. Each of these is known as a “taxing district” because state statute authorizes these districts’ legislative authority to adopt an annual budget and levy that budget as a tax on the property owners in...

Charlie Kirk and His Surprising Sentiments Toward the Catholic ChurchThere is a lot of evidence that Charlie Kirk was leading his family towards the Catholic Church; not least of all, his public call to venerate the Mother of God.The news of Charlie Kirk’s murder has had a shocking impact in the world of faith and politics. Known widely as a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk often appeared in the public eye as a firebrand commentator, someone eager to spar in debates over politics, culture, and the future of America. Yet, beneath the sharp-edged persona, there was...

… While the principles the UN was founded upon remain vital – especially at a time of conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, the Democratic Republic of Congo and elsewhere – they are also facing some of their biggest tests since the organization came into being. “This is a good time to take a look at ourselves [to] see how fit for purpose we are in a set of circumstances which, let’s be honest, are quite challenging for multilateralism and for the UN,” says UN80 Task Force Chair Guy Ryder. The UN80 process will involve three tracks of reform. The first...
