Authorities detained a man at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday evening after he attempted to enter the venue while armed with a tactical knife, at least one firearm, and inactive law enforcement credentials. The stadium is scheduled to host the memorial service for assassinated conservative icon Charlie Kirk on Sunday morning. The massive memorial service is expected to draw over 100,000 attendees, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other members of the cabinet. The suspect, whose identity has not been released at this time, reportedly claimed affiliation with law enforcement and exhibited suspicious behavior...

When Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addresses the media and the American people, the shadow of the room’s namesake looms over her shoulder. The White House Press Briefing Room is officially named the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.Brady, a former White House Press Secretary, was shot during the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. But most Americans today are more likely to associate the name with the left-leaning gun control organization than with the man himself.Is that really how we want to represent the pro-American, pro-Constitution Trump White House?The connection between the name “Brady” and the White House press...

My oldest brother who introduced me to Free Republic online back in 1997 while I was nursing my 3rd baby in the middle of the night ( I guess I was complaining about the isolation of the 3AM feeding) has died after a long struggle with Alzheimers. In his senior year of St. Mary's high school in Manhasset NY he was accepted to West Point, Annapolis and the AirForce Academy but chose Notre Dame. After graduation he was drafted into the army and sent to Germany as his younger brother was already fighting in Vietnam. They both came home -...

An ABC affiliate in Sacramento was struck by gunfire Friday afternoon. The incident came one day after protesters gathered outside over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension. ..

Leader Thune and the Republican majority deserve praise for their strategic leadership in clearing procedural roadblocks and putting an end to Senator Schumer’s unprecedented obstruction. It’s a win for the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to change Washington.

On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel used his monologue to accuse MAGA of "trying to cover up the fact that the person who killed Charlie Kirk was one of them." This was after Utah Attorney General Derek Brown had disclosed evidence that the shooter had admitted that he hated Kirk for his anti-trans views, had a trans lover, and had been planning the assassination for a week. Andrew Alford, President of Broadcasting for Nexstar, an affilate of ABC, called Kimmel's comments "offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum...

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely after FCC pressure, Trump wrapping up his visit to the U.K. and Melania Trump's unique outfit choice.

This is a short video by Candice Owens presumably showing the Kirk killer hanging around the local area and dropping into a local Dairy Queen a few hours after the shooting.

The man who attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal, according to court documents first obtained by The Daily Wire. The Department of Justice is recommending that the defendant, 29-year-old Nicholas Roske, be sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022, according to a Friday filing outlining the case against Roske. Roske pled guilty to the attempt to kill a United States Supreme Court Justice in April 2025, three years after authorities arrested him in Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, carrying a...

Yesterday, a baffling video started making the rounds on social media showing Tennessee representative Tim Burchett casually claim that alien entities are here on Earth, and that they're rising out of the ocean. "What if, these are entities that are here on this earth, that have been on this earth for who knows how long, and we think they're coming from way out," he says while strolling along the streets of DC, the Capital rotunda glowing in the distance. "Maybe they did a millennia ago, but they're here, and they're in these deep water areas." Throughout the minute long cell...

A conservative Harris County parents group reported that a left-leaning group published the social media content of high school students who are organizing a Turning Point USA(TPUSA) chapter in the Spring Branch school district. The leftist group, “Be the Change SBISD,” reportedly sent messages to its more than 700 members calling for action against sponsoring teachers and the students. The Harris County chapter of Moms for Liberty posted a report on social media saying that a “TPUSA Club America” high school chapter’s members were “DOXXED” by adults by publishing their social media content to their members in an apparent attempt...

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...
