    There was a clip doing the rounds a few months ago from Charlie Kirk’s clash with students at the Cambridge Union. It featured Kirk going head to head with a fidgeting posh oddball whose ginger bouffant defied gravity. Anyone who’s ever visited Cambridge will be familiar with this kind of kid: woke, pompous, his arrogance entirely out of proportion to his intellect. Tell me this, said Kirk: ‘In the conflict of Israel vs Hamas, who’s the good guy?’ His diminutive adversary twitched and stuttered, then finally spoke. ‘Both Hamas and the Israeli government are evil’, he said, giving perfect voice...

    Charlie Kirk was murdered during a debate.Here were his last words:Questioner: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?Charlie Kirk: Too many.Questioner: Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?Charlie Kirk: Counting or not counting gang violence?Then he was shot and killed. And the feds say the ammo the shooter left behind was engraved with “transgender ideology.” Quite a coincidence, huh?As of this writing, we don’t know who did it or exactly why. But a lot of Kirk’s self-styled enemies sure are happy...
  • On 9/11, The Economist Suggests Socialists as ‘Populist Alternative’ to Trumpism

    Forget commemorating the thousands of lives lost on 9/11. The Economist is instead pushing readers to float the idea of socialism firmly being established as the left’s bulwark against Trumpism in New York. Talk about completely butchering your priorities. In a crazy September 11 piece, the British magazine sought to downplay communist Democratic New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s affiliation with the radical Democratic Socialists of America party. In “Who’s afraid of the Democratic Socialists,” the outlet was giddy over the fact that they could “prove to be the left’s populist alternative to Trumpism.” For Mamdani, The Economist tried...

    Ben Shapiro claims more political violence has come from the left than the right.Following the death of ultra-right-wing conservative Charlie Kirk, who was murdered while hosting an event at Utah Valley University, his friend and fellow pundit Ben Shapiro had a few thoughts he needed to share. According to a piece Shapiro penned for The Free Press, he and Kirk met when the latter was only 18 years old. Kirk had just started Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit organization whose mission is to "identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and...
  • Conspiracy Theories Blame Israel for Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

    09/11/2025 4:22:58 PM PDT · by Impala64ssa · 29 replies
    Yesterday (September 10), a loud activist voice in American conservative politics was silenced after he was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk, 31, while a polarizing figure in the U.S. culture wars, was an outspoken supporter of Israel, the Jewish people, and freedom of speech. As of September 11, the murderer is still unknown, with American authorities pursuing a manhunt. Despite no public information being available as to the background, whereabouts, or motives of the killer, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, large numbers of so-called activists posted online claiming that the assailant was not...

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were surely many people who would have liked to speak with President Trump. So, it's notable, for better or worse, that the president apparently accepted Joe Scarborough's call. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough described some of their conversation, noting that the president called Kirk "a great man," and gave him credit, with his organizing and fundraising efforts, for making the difference in some of the swing states. Scarborough also commended MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler for having condemned the words of Matthew Dowd on Katy Tur's MSNBC show yesterday, in which...

    EXCLUSIVE and #BREAKING: This is a current Secret Service agent, stating in a Facebook post, that Charlie Kirk deserved what he got. "You can't circumvent karma, [sic] she doesnt [sic] leave." The comments are similar to the incendiary remarks now former @MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd made on the network. The network fired Dowd from his contributorship yesterday for saying "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." MSNBC called Dowd's comments "insensitive and unacceptable" and ultimately fired him. The Secret Service agent's post is circulating in the Secret Service community with some agents upset over his...

    Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York attempted to shift blame for the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk to Second Amendment supporters Thursday. Kirk was fatally shot during a TPUSA “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, in which he would take questions from attendees. Ocasio-Cortez said members of Congress who opposed gun control had no right to “finger-point” after Kirk’s assassination. “People can finger-point all they want. Look at the record, look at the actions of what we are doing,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters in front of the Capitol building. “I don’t think...

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.
