Callous woke activist and assistant anthropology professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tamar Shirinian, has been suspended with termination proceedings against her ongoing, for vile comments made about Charlie Kirk’s children in the wake of his gruesome assassination. For context, she slandered Kirk as a “disgusting psychopath,” argued that Kirk’s children would be “better off without him,” and made vile comments about his widow. In reaction, the university condemned her absurd comments and placed her on administrative leave while initiating firing proceedings. Additionally, prominent figures in both the university administration and state government slammed these comments as unacceptable. In...

Transitioning Social Security: Lessons from the GI BillThe GI Bill provides a valuable example of how a large government benefit program can be restructured over time without breaking commitments to those already enrolled. When the GI Bill was updated, existing veterans retained their full benefits, while new recruits gradually began contributing toward their education benefits. This phased approach balanced fairness with fiscal responsibility.Why Change Social Security?Social Security, as it currently stands, faces significant financial challenges. With an aging population, longer life expectancies, and a shrinking ratio of workers to beneficiaries, the system’s trust fund is projected to be depleted within...

Michigan state Rep. Mai Xiong (D-Warren) cuts the head off a chicken as she invites supporters to "slay Republicans" with her:

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) drew attention during a Senate discussion on President Donald Trump’s tariff policies after using language that some have questioned in light of the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During remarks on the Senate floor, Hirono said that small businesses were “taking it in the neck” as a result of the administration’s tariff agenda. The phrasing came just over a week after Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Kirk was struck in the neck during the attack, which...

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, two Muslim men in Utah were arrested for planting an incendiary device under a FOX affiliate’s news van. The most striking thing about their house, as Front Page Magazine had reported, was that it appeared to be covered in anti-Trump signage. Including a black flag reading, “Is He Dead Yet?” “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise also made a recent appearance when a New York City public school teacher posted a photo of himself wearing that t-shirt and celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. In a famously sensitive era, where do you go to buy a “Is he dead...

Trump’s UK visit nearly took a dramatic turn when his helicopter, carrying him and Melania, made an emergency landing after a hydraulic issue. Diverted to Luton, the Trumps switched choppers before boarding Air Force One back to the U.S. The White House called it “minor,” but the symbolism is striking: the world’s most powerful man, forced down mid-flight. Was it just a glitch — or a reminder of how fragile power can be?

They hate you and think your normal American beliefs are "fascist." Case in point: A group of adults on Facebook who infiltrated group chats and coordinated to destroy students for wanting to start a Turning Point USA chapter in the Spring Branch school district at Stratford High School in Houston. https://x.com/M4LHarris/status/1968756309609570494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1968756309609570494%7Ctwgr%5E0a7fa75bf619ab6bee9ae31b8cc4ad343b452139%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotthebee.com%2Farticle%2Ftexas-ag-to-investigate-facebook-group-that-doxxed-kids-who-want-to-start-tpusa-chapter-at-their-school Here is the part where they name the students/teachers who want to start the TPUSA chapter (names redacted): The group claims, in direct contradiction to the FBI, the governor of Utah, District Attorney Jeffrey Grey, the accused shooter's own family, and the accused shooter's own messages, that the suspect...

VIDEOWhen you see the thumbnail for this video you might think it is a bit hyperbolic with the images of Mao's Little Red Book. However, just a few seconds into this video, you will agree that the images were entirely appropriate after hearing this Oberlin College Commie student speak approvingly of political assassinations, including that of Charlie Kirk, and lovingly quoting Mao to justify them. BTW, I'm not exactly surprised these rantings are from an Oberlin College student since that school has had a reputation for promoting Communist ideology for years.

Things haven't been going well for Democrats in recent months. President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a landslide and he was given, by voters, GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Those "leading" the Democrat Party are aging seriously. New blood is tainted with extremism, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom's radicalism that doesn't even earn the appreciation of all Democrats, much less a cross-section of all voters. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at the pandemic level. Fundraising is off, and the issues all have lined up against them. Under Trump inflation is declining, jobs are working toward a...

Nothing to see here, just one of the most popular members of the Democratic caucus slandering a recently assassinated Republican from a pulpit. Yes, this really happened. VIDEOS AT LINK............ I do believe those of you who are interested in rewriting this hateful man's history are full of s---! Omar was at Elim Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, for a town hall on Saturday. She was responding to a man who pointing out that Kirk was all about civil discourse. Here's the broader context: "Rewriting history" for Omar means debunking fake quotes from Charlie Kirk or putting other quotes of...

Disney’s crumbling empire just hit another disaster, this time thanks to late-night clown Jimmy Kimmel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney’s top brass, CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Dana Walden, made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the disgraced host refused to apologize for falsely pinning the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on Trump supporters. Instead of showing an ounce of humility, Kimmel doubled down and prepared a fiery, anti-MAGA tirade that executives feared would “fan the flames.” ABC insiders revealed that affiliate owners and advertisers were in open revolt. By Wednesday, 66 of the 200 affiliate stations...

The Obama library — which isn't a library — has ballooned to a construction cost of more than $615 million, up from the original estimate of $300 million when the edifice was proposed in 2019. As 2024, the estimate had soared to $615 million, with the cost adding up to a whopping $615,674,047. But according to the Chicago Tribune, other estimates have already placed construction costs past the $700 million mark. Along with these massive cost overruns, the Barack Obama Presidential Center has had a very troubled history already, and it hasn’t even been completed yet. Originally, the Obama Center...

China’s scripted coast-guard incursions around the Senkaku Islands aim to normalize control through mass and proximity. But Japan has reorganized for rapid joint action, dispersing long-range anti-ship missiles across the Ryukyus, expanding fifth-gen air and AEW, and adding Tomahawks to create a lethal denial web. The U.S.–Japan alliance now signals unambiguous coverage, with carrier, Marine Littoral Regiment, and ISR/long-range fires ready to stiffen defense. Who would win a fight?

The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me. “We're looking at the entire spider web for any of these attacks,” FBI director Kash Patel told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, when asked about shootings by trans individuals. “They,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said after the Kirk murder, are “putting this crazy ideology in our schools,” echoing the growing view of many in Trump’s inner circle that a “cult of gender ideology” is behind an explosion of violence by some as yet unidentified...
