In a shocking coincidence, transgender double-murderer Mia Bailey lived in Washington City and was arrested in nearby St. George, just minutes away from the residence shared by Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk, and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs. Robinson’s parents and Bailey’s parents both lived in Washington, Utah, approximately 5 minutes apart, in a small town of 27,993 people as of 2020. After murdering his parents, Bailey was arrested in St. George, just minutes from the Fossil Hills Townhomes community where Robinson and Twiggs lived together. While no direct connection between the cases has...

A Line Was Crossed: Why the Reaction to Charlie Kirk’s Death Surprised So ManyWhen Charlie Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, reactions across the internet followed a now-familiar pattern. Supporters expressed shock and sadness, while detractors — especially many on the progressive left — took to social media with mockery, celebration, and even open joy. For years, this kind of reaction toward controversial figures has played out online without serious consequence. In some circles, it was even encouraged.But this time, something changed.This time, the internet didn’t shrug. The public didn't just move on. People lost jobs. Employers issued statements....

The Parasite That Never Dies: The Enduring Allure of CommunismWhen the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, many in the West breathed a sigh of relief. The Cold War was over, the Iron Curtain had fallen, and communism, it seemed, had been defeated. The red flags were folded, the statues of Lenin came down, and the free world declared victory.But the reports of communism’s death were greatly exaggerated.Communism, after all, is not a nation or a regime. It’s not a border or a flag. Communism is an idea — and ideas, especially seductive ones, do not die with the fall of...

Reclaiming the Balance of Power in America By CIB-173RDABN Reclaiming the Balance of Power in America Over the last several decades, America’s federal government has slowly drifted away from the constitutional balance of power intended by the Founders. The system we live under today isn’t always governed by our elected officials, but increasingly by unelected bureaucrats, activist judges, and defiant state governments. This shift didn’t happen overnight — it was allowed, piece by piece, as Congress became lazy, states ignored federal law, and the courts replaced interpretation with ideology. President Trump — whether by design or by instinct — appears...

The Day the Fears Came HomeI still remember the weeks after 9/11. The air itself felt different — heavier, charged. We were grieving, yes, but we were also afraid. In those days, the Patriot Act swept through Congress, and most of us nodded along. We wanted to feel safe. We wanted to believe it would only be used against the men who had flown planes into towers. But even then, a whisper lingered: What happens if these powers are ever turned inward?We told ourselves it wouldn’t happen. That Americans wouldn’t call other Americans terrorists. That these tools were for al-Qaeda,...

A Turning Point? The Death of Charlie Kirk and the Possible Collapse of Progressive Ideology By CIB-173RDABN History often moves not in steady, predictable steps but in sudden lurches—shaped by moments so symbolic, so emotionally charged, that they become catalysts for greater change. For some, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 marked such a turning point: the end of postwar American innocence, the beginning of deep national mistrust, and the slow unraveling of the consensus that had defined mid-century America. Now, six decades later, we may be witnessing the other bookend to that era. The death of...

Cousins, Not Strangers: The Illusion of Difference Between Communism and Parliamentary Government by CIB-173RDABN At first glance, communism and parliamentary democracy appear to be opposites. One is often portrayed as authoritarian, centralized, and controlling, while the other wears the cloak of liberalism, freedom, and public accountability. Yet when you peel back the layers — particularly the economic mechanics, electoral systems, and long-term outcomes — the two begin to look less like strangers and more like cousins. Let’s begin with economic control. Communism is blunt: the state owns the means of production. Businesses, land, and industry are centralized under state authority....

A Generation Betrayed By CIB 173rd Abn We were the children of victory—the generation born in the aftermath of World War II, raised in what may rightly be called the Golden Age of the United States. We lived in a time of abundance, opportunity, and freedom. Our parents returned from war to build lives in peace, trusting in the strength and righteousness of the nation they had fought to preserve. We inherited that trust and that faith. But somewhere along the way, we were betrayed—not suddenly, but slowly, insidiously, by those entrusted to lead us. The clearest fracture came with...

Ian Miles Cheong @stillgray This liberal might be the worst one yet. The Left doesn't just want you dead, they want your children, your family, and everything you care about dead. This creature is completely possessed. I don't say this lightly: demonic.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) covered up “hateful” graffiti targeted at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday at Utah Valley University (UVU). In a post on X, Cruz shared photos of himself painting over graffiti on the side of the highway with the words, “f**k Charlie Kirk” written in white paint. Cruz added that the Texas Department of Transportation had been notified and that they would “remove it expeditiously.” “Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston,” Cruz wrote in his post. “TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure sure they will...

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...

...The FBI seized evidence from their shared apartment, including computers now being analyzed at Quantico. While sources told Axios that “it’s pretty clear that Robinson’s roommate knew A LOT and didn’t say anything after the killing,” [cut] Separately, The Sun reported that agents are reviewing doorbell footage allegedly showing Robinson on the phone “MOMENTS AFTER it went down,” discussing explicit details of the shooting with an unidentified person. This has raised questions about whether Robinson had an accomplice or someone who knew of the crime but stayed silent. Officials initially said they believed he acted alone but emphasized they are...

The Three G's: Gaza, Genocide, Government – Unmasking Hamas "Palestine" Hypocrisy. In recent weeks, the world has been confronted with images and reports from Gaza that raise troubling questions about the true nature of the ongoing conflict. As Israel’s anti-terror operation continues to dismantle Hamas infrastructure in Gaza, the group’s actions are revealing the depth of its hypocrisy and disregard for the well-being of its own people. Hamas, which has long used the civilian population of Gaza as human shields, has now shown an alarming double standard as its leaders desperately try to secure their own escape while preventing their...

Defending Kash Patel from HimselfSeptember 14, 2025 | Sundance Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would...

PATHETIC: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R): “Charlie [Kirk] said some very inflammatory things and some corners of the web that’s all people have heard.” How is preaching Biblical values “inflammatory?” This makes my bl00d boil!

VIDEOPolitics Girl, like a lot of her fellow leftists, is now reciting utter denialism nonsense about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like many of them, she frames the assassin as a "right-winger" as opposed to the reality that we now know including Antifa type messages on his bullets. Most ridiculous of all, Politics Girl explains away those Antifa messages as having been put there by the company that manufactured those bullets. Yeah... right!

In Iowa, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) criticizes New York members of Congress who haven’t endorsed Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for NYC Mayor. “That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of,” he says. “They need to get behind him, and get behind him now.”
