GLENDALE, AZ — President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared an awkward moment Sunday during the memorial for Charlie Kirk when they were both caught on a kiss cam. Witnesses could see Elon Musk awkwardly get Trump's attention, point at the Jumbotron, and turn to him with a shrug as if saying, "I guess we have no choice." Sources say Trump then shifted awkwardly in his seat as if waiting for the moment to pass, but Musk was ready to go for it. "I've never been on a Jumbotron before. Don't let me down," he allegedly said. "Come here,...

Tens of thousands of Americans gathered on Sunday to remember Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who had his life taken from him at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month. And while the speeches were heartwarming, and it was a day filled with love, faith, and honor, protesters did show up. In one particularly vile comment, a protester told a pregnant attendee of Charlie’s memorial, yelling, “I hope your baby dies!” She continued to taunt passerby's yelling, "Words, words, you're getting mad over words?" Another attendee in an effort to defend the pregnant woman, approached the protester, yelling,...

CNN shared a new survey that crushes the narrative that Americans are not happy with the moves by President Donald Trump's administration when it comes to policies on things like crime, the economy, and immigration.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order later that day to designate antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, citing a pattern of violent acts linked to the far-left movement. "Antifa is going to be designated a domestic terrorist organization," Leavitt told reporters at the daily press briefing. "The president intends to sign that executive order very soon, as soon as it's drafted, as soon as today, later this afternoon.

Charlie Kirk built himself into the face of a conservative youth movement through Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Behind the branding of “patriotism” and “freedom,” the record shows a pattern of rhetoric, organizational culture, and alliances that echoed white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center documented how TPUSA repeatedly framed immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and racial justice advocates as existential threats to “white Christian America,” warning followers that their families, religion, and entire way of life were under attack. In later years, Kirk openly embraced Christian nationalist language, claiming that liberty was only possible with a Christian population—a...

Conservatives have been successfully calling on teachers to be fired for justifying Charlie Kirk's murder A conservative political action committee launched an effort to expose teachers across the country justifying Charlie Kirk’s assassination online and is pushing back on claims from the left that conservatives are being hypocritical about free speech. Stefano Forte, executive director of 1776 Project PAC, spoke to Fox News digital about the new form live on the organization’s website where users can flag teachers and administrators who have justified Kirk’s killing online, a form he says has already yielded an "endless stream of tips."

In A Nutshell * Stroke-injured mice that received lab-grown brain cells regained smoother walking and better coordination compared to untreated mice. * Most transplanted cells matured into working brain cells, and many became the very type of nerve cells that strokes usually wipe out. * The therapy didn’t just fill gaps: it calmed brain inflammation, strengthened tiny blood vessels, helped seal the brain’s natural protective barrier, and nudged the brain’s own stem cells to grow new neurons. * If ongoing safety tests succeed, researchers think the first human trials could begin in the next 5–7 years. =================================================================== ZURICH, Switzerland —...

During a conversation on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast, the Tulsa King actor revealed that he pitched his potential return to the film franchise.

Below is my column in The Hill on the controversial remarks of Sen. Tim Kaine (D. Va.) denouncing a nominee who believed in natural law and the concept of God-given rights. By the end of the hearing, Kaine effectively lumped Alexander Hamilton with Ayatollah Khomeini in his statement at the committee hearing. Here is the column: Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) this week warned the American people that a Trump nominee for a State Department position was an extremist, cut from the same cloth as the Iranian mullahs and religious extremists.

The children of US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) relentlessly tormented their mom’s personal assistant, driving him to commit suicide, an explosive lawsuit claims. Brandon O’Brien, 35, worked for the senator’s wife, Nancy Bass Wyden — owner of Manhattan’s famed Strand Bookstore — from June 2022 to September 2024 and was “frequently tasked” with caring for the couple’s young kids, including driving them to school in NYC and watching them during trips to Disneyworld. The disturbing behavior began in September 2022 when the couple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life”...

Erika, 36, revealed that she and others in her husband’s circle had heard him suggest before that he could die a violent death. During dinner, Erika begged her husband to start wearing a bulletproof vest and, when he refused, the friend suggested he speak from behind bulletproof glass. “Not yet,” Erika recalled Kirk replying, before he added that he felt confident in his security team and that there would be additional security at the Utah Valley University event.

An Antifa-connected researcher with rabid bias against the right is held out as an expert on deciding who is extreme.After Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week, conservatives noted that most political violence comes from the left. The left bristles at this fact and has responded by dramatically padding the numbers to pretend the reverse is true.Consider a Sept. 12 piece from The Economist claiming, “extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.”Right up front, the piece admits it used data “largely compiled by researchers whom sceptical (sic) conservatives would probably dismiss...

On Monday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough trashed President Trump for saying at the Charlie Kirk memorial service that he hates his opponents. Referring to Jesus' instruction to forgive and love one's enemies, Scarborough declared, "You either get it or you don't get it." Scarborough thereby clearly placed himself in the category of those who follow Jesus' words. But Scarborough is the same person who, over the years, has attacked Trump in the most vicious terms. Earlier this year, we compiled this list of some of Scarborough's ugliest hits on Trump. Scarborough:Called President Trump a "thug" and a "goon." Written that...
