Charlie Kirk Did It All the Right WayHe exposed the lies at the heart of radical left-wing ideologies—and paid the ultimate price for telling the truth.Like almost everyone in my circle, I have spent the better part of the last week in a stupor. The news of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination has left all of us who counted him as a friend or colleague in a state of shock and sadness.I did not know Charlie Kirk well. But I had met him in various green rooms, appeared on his radio program, and worked with him to find capable staffers...

Jihad Abdallah changed his name to "Alexander" for some reason. Now he's set to play King Gustav III of Sweden for Netflix. SNIP Beyond the woke ideology of Netflix executives and the producers it hires, Hollywood now refuses to offer awards to films and shows that don't have specific quotas of "minority" representation. This motivates studios to be extra woke

Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday launched his campaign to run for governor. “I’m a conservative Republican, and I’m prepared to make the tough decisions. I follow the law and the Constitution, and I’ll always do the right thing for Georgia no matter what,” Raffensperger said in his campaign launch video. Raffensperger promises a “bold conservative agenda,” including eliminating the state income tax, capping property taxes for seniors, banning puberty-blocking drugs, and purging “woke curriculums” from schools. He also pledges to work with Trump to increase jobs, deport illegal immigrants with criminal records, and “restore law and...

The man charged with killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk told his transgender lover he had been engraving bullets that authorities later found with left-wing messaging on them, raising questions about possible warning signs for the attack, according to a court document released on Tuesday. State officials revealed incriminating text messages they allegedly found between 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and his boyfriend, who identifies as a transgender woman, after Kirk was shot dead at a Utah Valley University (UVU) speaking event on Sept. 10 in Orem. Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray’s office alleges that Robinson left writings such as “hey...

He finally accepts the impossibility of restoring Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders. Zelensky recently told ABC News that “Victory, to my mind, Putin's goal is to occupy Ukraine, this is to destroy us, occupy, and did he occupy it?...He didn't occupy us, we win, and I think so, because we have our country.” This is a far cry from the mantra that he’s chanted almost daily for the past 3,5 years since the special operation began about restoring his country’s pre-2014 borders. Quite clearly, he’s hinting that he’ll accept an end to the conflict that doesn’t achieve that aim, thus going with...

(Sep. 17, 2025) — During the process of developing the U.S. Constitution Alexander Hamilton submitted a suggested draft for a Constitution on June 18, 1787. At some point, he also suggested to the framers a proposal for the qualification requirements in Article II as to the necessary Citizenship status for the office of President and Commander in Chief of the Military. Another version of Hamilton’s proposed Constitution and which principles were stated during the convention’s deliberations per Madison notes and journal (see work of Farrand – pg 619), was given to Madison near the close of the convention for inclusion...

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel insinuated Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a member of the "MAGA gang" while mocking President Donald Trump’s response to his death during his show Monday night. The "Jimmy Kimmel Live" host brought up the matter during his monologue and claimed right-wing critics were hitting "new lows" trying to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Utah native Tyler Robinson, as someone who wasn’t "MAGA." "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything...

The Baltic Defense Line established by Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania has become the largest fortification effort in Europe since World War II. The multi-layered defensive installation includes anti-tank obstacles, surveillance systems, trenches, and bunkers. The “East Shield” is intended to protect these nations, and therefore Europe, from Russian invasion, which they believe is inevitable. Estonia announced that it has begun construction of a 40-kilometer trench along its border with Russia. Other Baltic States, such as Lithuania and Latvia, have constructed “dragon’s teeth” or anti-tank barriers that act as large pyramid-shaped concrete obstacles for armored vehicles. The three Baltic states will...

MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK................... FBI Director Kash Patel, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, and Utah District Attorney Jeffrey Grey have all provided evidence that the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk was deeply motivated by leftwing ideology. Suspect Tyler Robinson's own mother said he had become "more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented" and was dating "a biological male who was transitioning genders." His father said Tyler "accused Kirk of spreading hate." In a confession to his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, Tyler confessed to the murder and when prompted for his motive, said "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be...

Another evil leftist has learned that the reality of consequence culture after mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk this week. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Tuesday, a viral video emerged online showing a student at Texas State University taunting others at a Kirk memorial event hosted by the local TPUSA chapter. In the footage, the young man mimicked the shooting by tapping his neck and writhing while his ‘friends’ film. “Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, b**ch!” he said. “Look, I’m Charlie Kirk! He then walked up to a statue and mocked Kirk getting assassinated once again,...

You’ve probably heard of spooky black cats, chaotic orange cats, and distinguished-looking tuxedo cats. If you’re really into cats, you might have even lesser-known color variants like seal point and ticked tabby. But there’s officially a new cat color in town— salmiak, or ‘salty liquorice.’ You can see one here. The pretty black, white, and grey shade—named for a popular snack food in Finland, where this coat color has been making itself known—is thanks to a fur strand that starts off black near the root, but grows whiter and whiter out towards the tip. The coat was first spotted in...

The Conservative Party of New York State issued a sharp rebuke Monday of Governor Kathy Hochul’s endorsement of Democratic Party nominee Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race, calling the move “political expediency over the health of her state.” “Governor Kathy Hochul chose Leftism over New Yorkers,” said Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar in a September 15 release on social media. “She calculated that endorsing socialist Zohran Mamdani was better for her career than taking on the forever-seething radical left to protect the people and businesses of New York City. That’s what just happened. The Governor of...

Choosing a college major is a life-altering decision, made millions of times a year by 18-year-olds with little exposure to higher education or labor markets. Colleges frame programs in terms of possibilities, not probabilities. They pitch degrees like products, emphasizing prestige and potential while downplaying the risks of dropping out or ending up underemployed. These institutions influence such decisions millions of times a year, but students make them only once. And while schools hold internal data on outcomes and labor markets, they rarely share what matters most. To the institution, the student is a sales prospect, not a learner they’re...

The Secret Service Agent who said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated will be fired soon. Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood. “If you are Mourning this guy… delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show,” Anthony Pough wrote. “A separate source in the Secret Service community tells me that Pough will indeed be fired because he remains in the probationary period before an agent attains “career status.” Pough became an agent in 2022. Probation lasts 3 years and 120...

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman is facing backlash for describing a text exchange between suspected Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson and his partner as "very touching". Prosecutors on Tuesday revealed text messages between accused gunman Tyler Robinson and his roommate, in which Robinson admitted to killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, described hiding his rifle and detailed his planning in the days before the shooting. Utah Governor Spencer Cox had previously said Robinson lived with a romantic partner who is transgender. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed on The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday that the name of Robinson's partner is...

Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox Montel Williams is now trying to steer the conversation away from the truth...refusing to call Charlie Kirk’s assassin what he was: an unhinged leftist with hate in his heart. Instead, Montel is spinning it as a love story...a young man defending someone he cared about. Wow. This is absolutely twisted. Nothing says “love” like murdering someone in cold blood. “There are people trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing.” “And what we’re really talking about, hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this… we’re talking about a...
