In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity. This is Michelle Vu, MD. She...

A notorious Arizona protester turned up outside Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday in Glendale, ignoring the solemn occasion to stage yet another bizarre spectacle. Sumayyah Dawud, a self-described transgender, Muslim Antifa activist infamous for his solo demonstrations, arrived early at State Farm Stadium with a handful of other protesters, brandishing signs that veered from pro-Palestinian slogans to insults aimed at President Trump, and even one labeling the group the “Satanic Society.” Dawud was previously arrested while protesting at a pro-Hamas encampment at Arizona State University. And made posts in the immediate aftermath of when Charlie Kirk was shot and...

Tens of thousands of Americans gathered on Sunday to remember Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who had his life taken from him at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month. And while the speeches were heartwarming, and it was a day filled with love, faith, and honor, protesters did show up. In one particularly vile comment, a protester told a pregnant attendee of Charlie’s memorial, yelling, “I hope your baby dies!” She continued to taunt passerby's yelling, "Words, words, you're getting mad over words?" Another attendee in an effort to defend the pregnant woman, approached the protester, yelling,...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, during an appearance on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, said the Trump administration is trying to “stifle dissent” following ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show. “Without question, they’re trying to stifle dissent,” Shapiro said after noting that selectively firing people for their viewpoints is “dangerous.” The indefinite suspension of Kimmel’s show came after his Monday night monologue about the 22-year-old man accused of shooting and killing right-wing activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. On Wednesday afternoon, Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr on a conservative podcast threatened to cancel ABC affiliate broadcast...

The mask continues to slip in Pennsylvania, where Democrat officials have openly mocked, justified, and even celebrated the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk—a reaction that reveals just how deeply entrenched political hatred has become on the American left. Bernville Mayor Shawn Raup-Konsavage ignited national outrage after declaring he was “glad” Kirk is dead, posting the comment publicly alongside a video of the late conservative leader. “This is what MAGA represents,” he wrote, attacking those mourning Kirk’s death and doubling down by saying, “If this represents you, then I don’t want to hear that you are offended that...

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania proves yet again to be the voice of sanity and reason in the Democratic Party, criticizing them in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. He has called on his party to stop calling President Trump "Hitler" and an "autocrat." On Wednesday, before it was confirmed that Charlie had died from the shot, Fetterman noted to CNN's Manu Raju that just a day before the assassination, people were protesting President Trump and calling him the "Hitler of our time." Senator Fetterman condemned the characterization and said that the Democrats must "turn the temperature down." "I...

Many people attacked a grieving widow last night as she publicly addressed the nation. Erika Kirk mourned her late husband Charlie Kirk, who an extremist shot and killed on Wednesday with a bolt-action rifle from about 200 yards away on a college campus in Utah. The father turned in the 22-year-old to the police. If convicted, the shooter might face the death penalty. Tim Shorrock, who covers Korea for The Nation, a progressive monthly magazine, posted: "The evil doers have no idea what they've done." Charlie Kirk is apparently Jesus 2.0 and is "sitting next to his savior." A new...

TMZ founder Harvey Levin is facing massive backlash after his staff was caught on camera cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative leader gunned down on a college campus this week. The clip sparked outrage online, with YouTube users flooding Levin’s channel with thumbs-down reactions and angry comments. At first, Levin tried to deflect, claiming the cheers were about a “car chase” unrelated to Kirk. But now, with public pressure mounting, Levin is changing his tune—and issuing a grim warning. “I am not gonna mince words. I fear a civil war,” Levin said. “Charlie Kirk is different. This is...

After a 22-year-old assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday apparently motivated by extremist beliefs, one Democratic influencer is trying to make the murder about him. David Hogg, the vice chair of the Democratic National Convention, advocates for gun control through the group March For Our Lives. “If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the fuck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible and raise as much money as you can to primary Dems who refuse to...

The parents of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who admitted to assassinating Charlie Kirk, once encouraged their son’s intense interest in firearms by gifting him a “build your own gun” kit for Christmas. Robinson’s fascination with guns was well-documented by his family, who frequently posted photos of their visits to shooting ranges. Images show Robinson as a teenager proudly holding high-powered weapons, including an M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun, a scoped rifle, and even a bazooka. His mother, Amber Robinson, and his younger siblings appeared to embrace this lifestyle, as evidenced by pictures showing smiling faces at the range, even...

Earlier today, we told you about members of the professional class who cheered the assassination of TPUSA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk. The Left has let all pretense of political unity fall since Wednesday's shooting, with the media blaming "Republican misinformation" and Democrats calling for more gun control. And it's not just a fringe. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) issued a statement about Charlie Kirk's assassination and they couldn't help but attack his "anti-LGBTQ+" views. Chloe Cole is an outspoken detransitioner, writing in her X bio, "At 13, I was put on puberty blockers. By 15, I’d...

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joined Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC today to discuss ICE actions in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Maura Healey have both vowed to fight the Trump administration over deportations, with Mayor Wu calling them "oppression" while Maura Healey attacked the National Guard, saying they "do nothing" for public safety. Mika tried to defend Healey and Wu over their sanctuary state/city policies, and Homan was having none of it. Homan also brought the receipts, telling the audience exactly who ICE rounded up in Boston. That includes a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, arrested...

Bobby Nunez, a tow truck driver in Los Angeles, is under arrest for towing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle during an enforcement operation in mid-August. Bill Essayli, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced his arrest Monday morning for theft of government property. Nunez is facing up to ten years in federal prison.

Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations....

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is ripping into CBS News for omitting her full answers during an interview on Face the Nation. The network cut almost 25 percent of her answers for their Sunday show, where Ms. Noem spoke about the ongoing efforts and operations to deport illegal aliens. She also expounded more about the ongoing case against Abrego Garcia, but CBS News took the hatchet to that as well (via DHS): During the broadcast, CBS edits deprived the American people from hearing the truth about MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The following 25 seconds were cut from...

Following the tragic shooting at a Minnesota Catholic school, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is launching studies to examine whether psychiatric drugs, including SSRIs, may contribute to violent behavior. The shooting, carried out by 23-year-old Robin Westman, who had transitioned to living as a woman, left many questioning the role of mental health, drug treatments, and gender transition medications in acts of violence. In a manifesto released by Westman, the shooter described struggling with severe depression and suicidal thoughts for years, citing their belief that they had terminal...

Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.” “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “Forget about thoughts and prayers,” echoed CNN host Dana...

Supposedly, the tiresome comedy stylings of Gavin Newsom – he’s the equivalent of a Wednesday night prop comic opener down at the Gooberville Giggle Works – have thrust him into the forefront of the Democrat race for the 2028 nomination. What a sad and pathetic state of affairs that is. He’s trying to claim the Fighter Lane. You see, he fights by hiring a couple of they/them mediocrities to run his social media account, pumping out an endless series of tweets that are nearly as funny as leprosy. They are directed at Trump, who ignores them; if a nitwit tweets...

Robert “Robin” Westman, a man who identified as a woman, attacked Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis today, killing two and wounding 17 others. The two fatalities were children with 14 of the 17 wounded also being school kids. Three adults were also injured. Westman penned an alleged manifesto and posted a video before the attack. His mother reportedly used to work at the school before retiring in 2021. Some of the writings were written in Cyrillic, but New York Post reporter Diane Nerozzi translated some of the pages (via NY Post): Transgender Minneapolis shooter Robin Westman spoke of murdering “filthy...

After backlash from both the right and left, and even advice from President Trump following the recent decision to change its logo, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday evening that it would keep Uncle Herschel along with the barrel, rather than move forward with the minimalist design that was unveiled last week. While it’s a good sign that the restaurant chain listened to customers, those on the right aren’t entirely satisfied. Responding to Cracker Barrel's post on X announcing the latest decision, activist Robby Starbuck, who's made bringing normalcy back to corporate America his mission, wondered if they have any plans to...
