VIDEOLet us remember Charlie Kirk doing what he did best namely changing lives as well as America simply by engaging others, particularly college students, in polite dialogue. He was the BEST of us.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

A witness interviewed in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination said he believed it was a carefully orchestrated multi-person operation.In another video from Wednesday, a student reportedly spotted someone on a roof of another Utah Valley University campus building amid the event. The man told reporters he had just finished speaking with Kirk when he overheard the person next in line at the Utah Valley University event mention wanting to ask about transgenderism, however, when they took the podium they asked about shootings instead.“After I got done talking to him I really couldn’t exit because there was such a...

WILLIAMSBURG. WEDNESDAY, THE 17TH MAY, 1769. About 12 o’Clock his Excellency the Governor was pleased, by his Messenger, to command the Attendance of the House of Burgesses in the Council Chamber, whereupon, in Obedience to his Lordship’s Command, the House, with their Speaker, immediately waited upon his Excellency, when he thought fit to dissolve the General Assembly. The late Representatives of the People then judging it necessary that some Measures should be taken in their distressed Situation, for pre-serving the true and essential Interests of the Colony, resolved upon a Meeting for that very salutary Purpose, and therefore immediately, with...

The 9 September events demonstrate two interlocking realities. First, the prospect of a NATO–Russia war is no longer an abstraction. Moscow has shown a willingness to test NATO directly. Second, the most likely path to such a conflict is not through deliberate escalation but through miscalculation. The means to a wider war exist; the question is which one. Technical failure, human error, or political panic could cause escalation to spiral in a single instant.

Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it. I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are reacting on both sides is dangerous. If I had one wish right now it would be for everyone to please just step back and take a breath and remember we are all just sophisticated apes trying to coexist on a rock hurtling through space. If we cannot tolerate polite and...

A range of phrases related to cultural issues were found scrawled on a rifle and ammunition found in the woods near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on Wednesday, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. Authorities are analyzing those messages as they seek to identify a suspect in the killing, sources said, but it’s not yet clear if they point to a motivation in the attack.

After what just happened, I don’t know if any commentary is even needed. One in three students believe some level of violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, according to the results of a large-scale survey released Tuesday by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The survey, which questioned more than 68,000 students at 257 colleges and universities nationwide on a variety of free speech topics, asked: “How acceptable would you say it is for students to engage in the following actions to protest a campus speaker? Using violence to stop a campus speech.” Two percent said “always...

Let’s be clear here, the murder of Charlie Kirk is not an aberration, no more than the near murder of President Trump was. Violence is not an aberration, it’s at the heart of what the Left is. The Left is a terrorist movement. Period. The Left exists in two states. 1. In power 2. In terrorism That’s it. When the Left is in power, then it kills people legally, and when it’s out of power, it strives to take people by killing people ‘illegally’. Charlie Kirk was murdered by a Left that is not currently in power. If the Left...

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed MSNBC’s Joe Dowd for “depraved” comments he made after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

They Killed Charlie Kirk Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. We are all Charlie Kirk now. They would rather kill us than debate us. You may have murdered a messenger who had a beautiful family, but you did not kill this freedom movement sweeping the young people around the world. You Democrats may have killed another Christian who loved the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, you did not kill every Christian in the world who loves Jesus. You just...

EXCLUSIVE: This morning my team received an e-mail from officer at ATF.

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11: New York City is likely to elect a Muslim socialist as mayor. This is quickly becoming one of the biggest threats to our country. Pay attention. Jun 23, 2025

With the Assassination of Charlie Kirk, We Now Have Our Own MLK — A Martyr for Judeo-Christian Values. In moments of national grief, clarity often emerges. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has shocked millions — not just for the brutality of the act, but for what it represents. This was not merely a man taken from us. This was a cultural line crossed, a moment when standing for faith, family, and country became a fatal act in modern America. Charlie Kirk was not just a commentator or activist. He was a firebrand for truth — unashamed of proclaiming that men...

Don't forget the South Park episode from a few weeks ago. It was beyond disgusting. They roasted Charlie horribly, as well as President Trump and Jesus. The least funny and most awful episode I've seen. Parker and Stone got a billion and a half each at this time. Coincidence? Or are they toasting each other tonight? I hope they choke on it.

A demonic article from the rabid leftist website Jezebel has come back to haunt its editors following the murder of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Two days before a gunman killed Kirk in cold blood during an event at Utah Valley University, Jezebel called upon witches to perform some hocus pocus against the conservative activist: “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk.” The sub-headline needs no explanation: “If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.” If this doesn't classify as pure evil...

CHARLIE KIRK This is difficult to even write: we lost an extraordinary human-being and patriot today, who was murdered by an assassin's bullet. But Charlie's legacy will never, ever be silence. He touched and influenced not a few or a few thousand, but hundreds of thousands. I knew Charlie well over many years. We were together during Salem radio KRLA events in LA, I had him on TV and radio, I attended a few of his TPUSA events, he was a fan of my books, etc. He was a delight. Always curious. Happy. Joyous. Social. Articulate. Brilliant. Strategic. And much...
