Flicking through his school yearbooks, they have, instead, come to terms with the fact he has become among America's most wanted.Flicking through his school yearbooks, they have, instead, come to terms with the fact he has become among America's most wanted. Robinson, who came from a hard-working Mormon home, now stares back at America from a grim mugshot. If found guilty, he could face the death penalty, after his anguished father turned him in to the police. Neighbours and old friends in the heartland of southern Utah have been left reeling, struggling to reconcile the smiling boy-next-door they knew with...

In a bombshell development that has rocked the political landscape, federal investigators have uncovered financial transactions linking Tyler Robinson, the confessed assassin of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk, to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). According to sources familiar with the ongoing probe, Robinson received multiple wire transfers from DSA-affiliated accounts in the months leading up to the fatal shooting in Orem, Utah. The funds, totaling over $50,000, were funneled through shell organizations ostensibly for "community organizing" efforts but appear to have directly supported Robinson's logistics, including travel and weapon acquisition. Prominent DSA members, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and New...

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...

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...

American Airlines and Delta Air Lines confirmed that employees have been removed from duty after making celebratory or mocking remarks online about the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced Saturday that American Airlines pilots involved had been “immediately grounded” and urged their permanent removal. “This behavior is disgusting and they should be fired,” Duffy wrote on X. “Any company responsible for the safety of the traveling public cannot tolerate that behavior. We heal as a country when we send the message that glorifying political violence is completely unacceptable.” American Airlines issued...

The conservative movement lost one of its brightest voices with the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, but FBI Director Kash Patel's swift and decisive response delivered justice in a remarkable 33 hours that should serve as a blueprint for law enforcement nationwide. Unlike the bureaucratic foot-dragging we've grown accustomed to from federal agencies, Patel personally flew to Utah and took command of the investigation with the kind of hands-on leadership that actually gets results. While career FBI officials likely cringed at his unconventional approach, Patel understood something his predecessors never grasped: When American patriots are under attack,...

Hundreds of Australians have attended a candlelight vigil to honour US conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, whose assassination at a Utah university sent shockwaves around the world. Turning Point Australia, an offshoot of Mr Kirk’s Turning Point group, organised the sunset vigil in Sydney’s Hyde Park on Friday, attended by up to 1000 people. The Aussie organisation’s director told the Sydney Morning Herald of plans to bring Mr Kirk to Australia prior to his assassination. Turning Point Australia director Joel Jammal told the crowd the day Mr Kirk was “a great man” who inspired him. “There will not be another man...

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin lived with his transgender partner, senior-level FBI officials told Fox News Digital. Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a "ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP" with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation.

The parents of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who admitted to assassinating Charlie Kirk, once encouraged their son’s intense interest in firearms by gifting him a “build your own gun” kit for Christmas. Robinson’s fascination with guns was well-documented by his family, who frequently posted photos of their visits to shooting ranges. Images show Robinson as a teenager proudly holding high-powered weapons, including an M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun, a scoped rifle, and even a bazooka. His mother, Amber Robinson, and his younger siblings appeared to embrace this lifestyle, as evidenced by pictures showing smiling faces at the range, even...

I want to front load this post by making something abundantly clear. I am not complaining about my channel nor am I feeling sorry for myself. If you leave this post with that impression, that is something that you have projected onto me. There is a broader point that I am trying to make with this post. This is a graph showing my daily subscriber count. Yesterday, I posted a video with some thoughts on the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. On the graph, you can see that the result (which I kind of expected) was a mass exodus of...

To ponder such a scenario is to delve into the realm of historical conjecture. However, by examining the political landscape of the time and Lincoln's own aspirations, it is possible to glean insight into what might have transpired had his life not been cut short by events. Firstly, it's essential to consider Lincoln's vision for post-Civil War America. He was deeply committed to the principles of reconciliation and reconstruction, aiming to heal the nation's wounds and forge a path towards unity. In the aftermath of the Civil War, Lincoln sought to reintegrate the Southern states into the Union with leniency...

The alleged ‘radicalized’ assassin did not get to this moment on his own. Investigation details show a young man steeped in leftist dogma.After an intensive, multi-day manhunt, law enforcement officials on Friday said they had taken into custody conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s killer. Police assert 22-year-old Tyler Robinson “acted alone” in assassinating the Turning Point USA founder. But did he? Authorities said Robinson’s roommate shared with investigators the alleged cold-blooded killer’s communications on messaging app Discord. In them, the suspect discusses “a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to...

We knew that the left’s response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination would be ugly, but it was uglier than anyone could have predicted and infinitely more stupid, too. It was uglier because hordes of people celebrated the death of a young father because they disagreed with his ideas

Official Statement from BZPAC on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk Copyright © 2025 by the Baptist Zionist Public Affairs Committee™ BZPAC™ All Rights Reserved Worldwide www.bzpac.com Sept 10, 2025 - With deep sorrow and profound grief, BZPAC acknowledges the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a courageous advocate for freedom, truth, and conservative values.

Whenever the far left in the U.S. loses an argument — called an election — it suddenly decides it’s time to take to the streets and get violent. Now is just such a time, as America experiences a new spasm of home-grown anti-Trump, anti-Musk terrorism. It shouldn’t be tolerated. Whether it’s taking pot shots at the president, violently demonstrating in support of murderous terrorists, “swatting” people they don’t like, or destroying cars made by a person they now despise, our country once again finds extremists threatening us and our liberty. And, no surprise, it’s nearly all from the far left...

Nick: I am told that as a state representative, this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people. But we aren't one people, are we?" The truth is, we haven't been for some time now. And there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was. We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end....

The New York Times issued a correction Thursday, admitting it had wrongly attributed an antisemitic remark to Charlie Kirk when the late Turning Point USA founder was actually critiquing the comment. As part of its story on where Kirk stood on key political issues in the wake of his assassination, The Times reported Kirk was "repeatedly accused of antisemitism." Kirk was a staunch supporter of Israel and has been praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was...
