Expect more crying and gnashing of teeth from the crazy Schume who's attempt to trade confirmations for money for his crazy projects come crashing down.

Israel’s “War Hero” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again put to rest the conspiracy theory that Israel assassinated Charlie Kirk. Netanyahu began his official announcement of innocence Wednesday night by invoking the Nazis – an 80-year-old German political party that murdered millions of Jews, but has been out of power since 1945. Following this, the war hero confirmed that the Jewish state is not guilty of the September 10 assassination. “The Nazi propaganda minister said that ‘the bigger the lie, the faster it will spread’,” Netanyahu said. “Well somebody has fabricated a monstrous big lie – that Israel had...

After the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk has risen up in grief and determination to make sure his legacy of Turning Point USA will not only continue, but grow beyond anything he ever dreamed. Amid her bold statements and the spark of revival of people returning to church since Charlie Kirk’s death, a prophecy from the late Kim Clement has come back to the surface. Years ago, Clement predicted that an “Esther” would rise up in America in the middle of tragedy and sorrow to unite the nation. The question now: Is Erika Kirk America’s destined...

On September 17, 2025 the Gateway Pundit reported on President Trump on Wednesday evening announcing the designation of Antifa as a “major terrorist organization.” I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter! The ADL is now in hot water too after President Trump designated Antifa a “major terrorist organization.” The ADL has been...

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Nov. 5 in the pair of challenges to President Donald Trump’s authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The court on Thursday morning released an updated calendar for its November argument session that reflects the addition of the tariffs dispute, which the justices added to their docket for the 2025-26 term on Sept. 9. The dispute over Trump’s tariffs is operating on a highly expedited schedule. The government will file its opening brief on Friday, just 10 days after the court announced that it had granted review; the challengers’...

This is one of those things that so many times, someone says it, people listen to it, and its a topic all of us know and know to be true. But then everybody moves on. No. Stop. Right here. We need a greater discussion and a greater recognition of the Abolitionist Founding Fathers. We need more of a focus on this instead of everybody just moving on. The progressives do not move on ergo we do not move on. We need sharing the details, knowing the details, being able to in specifics push back against progressivism when they wield the...

Jimmy Kimmel and the Long Tradition of Television Censorship by NetworksWhen Disney pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air after affiliate stations refused to run it—and Kimmel refused to apologize—many framed the moment as a free speech issue. But in reality, this is not a new phenomenon. Kimmel is merely the latest in a long line of television personalities to discover that while free speech is protected from government interference, it does not shield individuals from the consequences imposed by employers, advertisers, or the broader marketplace.The tension between individual expression and corporate image has shaped the entertainment industry for decades....

The Turning Point Board has unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board. In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death.

In the context of a discussion of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show and related matters, today's CNN This Morning aired a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman [D-ActBlue Jeans] calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss."Meghan Hays, a former Biden aide and a CNN analyst, agreed with Goldman, then proceeded to claim: "We are running dangerously close to state-run media . . . We are losing our democracy. They're dismantling democracy by doing this." Accusing Trump of creating a "state-run media?" That's something of a new line of attack. And a laugh line at that. Even without the likes of...

A few hours after Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, a crowd of his supporters gathered to remember him at the pier in Huntington Beach, California. The following Sunday, September 14, an even larger crowd gathered 50 miles away at Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills.

TPUSA’s site is tpusa.com, and going there to donate takes one to donorbox. Today I received unsolicited text reading Hi (No.6) it's Tucker Carlson. I don't write messages like this often, but after losing Charlie, I can't stay quiet. I loved Charlie Kirk. He was more than a leader - he was my friend. Losing him has been devastating... But if you knew Charlie, you would know exactly what he would say to us right now: "Don't you dare quit." He poured his life into Turning Point USA to save this country... Now, (No.6), it's our duty to keep that...

What Jimmy Kimmel suggested to be true --namely, that Charlie Kirk's assassin was MAGA--was false. Did he know when he said it that it was false? I don't know. Did he have reason to know it was false? Yes, but ideology warps people's heads. In any case, we should not want public officials pressuring companies to fire or discipline people for their First Amendment protected speech--even when it's false. It is simply too great a threat to civil liberty. Democrats and liberals are saying that now, but (with honorable exceptions) they have no credibility. When the shoe was on the...

VIDEOBritish leftists have become completely deranged as exemplified by this leftist Munchkin who went over the edge at the sight of people flying the English flag. Why? Because the Munchkin screamed that it is a symbol of hate.

Less than a week before a crash-and-grab burglary crew killed an innocent man on the Magnificent Mile last Thursday, one of the men now charged with that murder donned a “peacekeeper” uniform and posed for a one-on-one picture with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. While that’s troubling, some law enforcement experts are more concerned that the accused man was able to stand directly next to the state’s most powerful executive despite having outstanding warrants in four states. Just before 5 a.m. on September 11, a group of burglars backed a pickup truck into a display window at the Louis Vuitton store...

Zohran Mamdani would like people to believe he’s the Democrat candidate in the upcoming NYC Mayoral election. But he is a member of the DSA, first and foremost — a group that is using the Democrat party to run in mainstream elections in Democratic strongholds, win them as the Democratic candidate, and then institute far-left, fringe, dangerous plans for their constituencies. Before he was courting endorsements from Democrats in NY, Zohran spent the week after October 7 harassing Sen Chuck Schumer AT HIS HOME and GETTING ARRESTED FOR IT. Mamdani is not a Democrat, he is a member of DSA...
