As the transgender debacle spirals into greater chaos in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the time is ripe to openly discuss its absurdity before more children are inculcated into this dangerous delusion. Simple logic debunks the preposterous idea that a person can transmute his biological sex, that doctors and parents “assign” a sex in mysterious ignorance of what the infant truly is, or that men should be allowed to play dress-up in women’s sports. The Mayo Clinic discredits itself by legitimizing gender dysphoria as “a feeling of distress that can happen when a person’s gender identity differs from the...

A 22-year-old has been arrested after he allegedly threatened to murder New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte using homemade pipe bombs. Independent reporter Breanna Morello posted on X: “Investigators say Tristan Anderson boasted about his plans to his roommate on Snapchat, displaying the materials he planned to use. Anderson allegedly posted anti-Semitic messages about an "Israel Deep State" before targeting Catholic Governor Kelly Ayotte with threats. His social media included violent posts, like threatening to "kill" New Hampshire committee members he believed misrepresented residents. His roommate reported to police that Anderson owned guns and showed her fireworks, metal tubes, and bags...

...Bad-mouthing slain Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk could prove to be a costly proposition, according to one leader of the organization.... ...Kolvet noted, there are “bad people intentionally lying and maligning the legacy of Charlie Kirk.”...

I'm not on social media. I'm angry. This is one of my only outlets. I wrote this after these thoughts occurred to me after reading breaking news yesterday afternoon: I've been watching the left's response to Charlie Kirk's assassination for over a full week. The irony is that this singular event has fully exposed the left - including political leadership - of qualifying violence against disagreeable debate ("fascist" / "racist" / "hitler" etc.) which has obviously made them directly culpable for his murder through incitement of hate among the most vulnerable, mentally unstable of the populace. The news has been...

“This is misery,” Letterman, 78, said during a panel at the annual event, per Variety. “I feel bad about this.” “We see where this is all going, correct?” he continued. “It’s managed media. And it’s no good. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. And you can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.” “In the world of somebody who is an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship, sooner or later, everyone is going to be touched,” Letterman added.

From Wikimedia Commons: Bombardment of Tripoli, August 3, 1804 (Michele Felice Cornè, 1806). In the decades following the American Revolution, the U.S. found itself navigating a perilous global seascape. Deprived of British naval protection, its merchant ships became vulnerable to predation from the notorious “Barbary corsairs” — state-sponsored pirates operating from the North African coast. These sailors, under the command of Muslim tyrants in Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco, preyed on Christian shipping in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, capturing ships and enslaving their crews. For the U.S., a nation newly born and diplomatically inexperienced, the threat posed by the Barbary...

Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was seen posing with a man who worked as a 'Peacekeeper' in the state, less than a week before he was arrested for allegedly killing a father while fleeing a robbery at a Louis Vuitton store. Keller McMillan, 35, was one of seven men charged with murder, burglary, and retail theft after they robbed a luxury retail store and allegedly killed a father who was driving to work. It has now been revealed that McMillan was working as a 'Peacekeeper,' a trained community member who is sent to violent hotspots to de-escalate conflicts.

President Trump’s crackdown on gender ideology hasn’t stopped a major medical organization from continuing to promote child sex changes through a multi-million dollar transgender affirming training program offered by its philanthropic arm, public records show. The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation launched an LGBTQ medical fellowship in 2021 that offers up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to provide “affirming” medical education that trains young doctors to become child sex-change advocates, initiate cross-sex hormones and care for sex-change surgical patients, records show. Top academic medical centers across the country, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Medical School, Vanderbilt University...

ASHLAND, Ohio (WJW) – Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider said an investigation is underway after buttons that contained comments about President Trump, such as “Is he dead yet” and “One day, we will wake up to his obituary” were on display at the “Ashland County Democrats” booth at the Ashland County Fair on Thursday. “I will be contacting the U.S. Secret Service tomorrow,” Sheriff Schneider told the FOX 8 I-Team. “Violence shouldn’t be tolerated in any way, in any venue in any jurisdiction in the United States and it certainly won’t be tolerated here in Ashland County.” According to an...

Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder? What was striking was that many of the posts featured females....

The death of an outspoken conservative American was only a matter of time. The coming conflict remains unavoidable. This is incomprehensible to conservative Americans. We think America is indomitable; no American in his right mind would ever deny freedom to embrace Marxism in any form. But we’re fatally naïve, because we don’t understand how ideas build nations and tear them apart. America is caught in a war of competing ideologies, and we don’t know how these wars work. We were too busy enjoying endless prosperity to learn that America, like any other nation, rises and falls based on the ideas...

The first three (technically four) weeks of the college football season have come and gone, with Ohio State, Penn State, and LSU continuing to notch victories as they maintain their spots as the nation's top three teams in the latest AP Top 25 poll. In other rankings news, Texas A&M jumped into the top-10 this week while Notre Dame—now 0-2—fell 16 (!) spots to No. 24.

"I’m still on the phone, and my daughter-in-law told me these were the first words out of my mouth, ‘No, no, no, no, no,'" Turek said. "If your son got hit, what would you do?… I got in the car because if there was any way I could save him, I had to do something." Turek and the security team jumped into the SUV that they used to travel to the event and sped to a hospital while performing CPR and praying. "Charlie's so tall, we can't close the door," he said. "We drove four miles… all the way to...

In their first home game since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Buffalo Bills honored the murdered far-right political commentator. Prior to kickoff of their game on Thursday Night Football, the Bills posted a graphic with his name and his birth and death dates while also cycling through images of the TurningPoint USA founder and his family. Somber music played out as reporters on the ground noted that a few people stood for the display.

The Tube no longer feels safe. Violent attacks on the platforms and carriages of the London Underground are soaring. So are theft, harassment and indecent exposure – and, most concerning of all, sexual assault. But instead of stepping up police patrols or increasing the presence of staff, Transport For London [TfL] is dumping the responsibility for safe travel on to the public, its passengers. Like countless others who ride the Tube every day, I have been physically assaulted while using the service – as I shall explain.
