In the spring of 1968 I was a college senior about to graduate. It was a troubled but hopeful moment to be coming into adulthood. The civil rights movement and the peace movement were converging in the nonviolent fight for racial justice and to end the Vietnam War. Martin Luther King Jr. was the most charismatic leader on both fronts, the poetic prose of his speeches soaring with critical idealism, his pacifism increasingly militant as he made the connections between domestic deprivation and foreign intervention. On April 4 King was murdered in Memphis. It was a brutal blow to the...

Charlie Kirk died for the same cause that David Horowitz was assaulted for, that Robert Spencer was banned for, and that Ben Shapiro faced bomb threats for: free speech on campus. In an academic environment where a respected 74-year-old scholar like Charles Murray could be physically assaulted at a college while the perpetrators walked away with a ‘mark’ on their permanent record, the willingness of conservatives to appear on campus was an act of courage. To do it the way that Charlie Kirk did was sheer heroism. There’s no question that he made an impact on a minority of students...

CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: "How the right blames George Soros for just about everything." CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance...

He wants to push me into traffic, thinks puberty blockers aren’t blocking puberty, and believes if the government says it’s okay to sterilize kids, then it must be okay. Who am I to gripe about it? He is devastated that I’m Canadian and not American, because he idolized Canadians and is a standard America-hater. He says I’m bigoted, need to go back where I came from, need to reassess my life choices, my head is hollow, I’m probably a Christian nationalist, I must love guns, hate taxes (of course I do), and I look terrible and ancient because of my...

A Canadian elementary school teacher was suspended after allegedly showed his students conservative political activist Charlie Kirk's assassination and suggested he deserved to be killed. The teacher, who teaches grades 5 and 6, which includes students as young as 10, was reported to have given the students a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues while showing the gruesome footage. “Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatized at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over,” a source told the Toronto Sun after the incident took place on Thursday (September...

The positions underlying Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric are largely uncontroversial on the right. They say Charlie Kirk was a racist bigot and white supremacist because of his beliefs on race in America. They say he was a misogynist and male chauvinist because of his opinions about gender roles. They say Kirk was a fascist and white Christian nationalist because of his opinions on immigration and the LGBT movement. From prominent American politicians, pundits, and celebrities to the hordes of anonymous chairborne social media activists, all of them said these things about Kirk for years before his assassination, and they have said...

In response to the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk, millions of Americans have been inspired to take action to save our country and return to their faith. In his short lifespan of 31 years, he had a monumental impact on our country, and it was on display during his memorial service, which attracted over 200,000 supporters and featured speakers such as President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, commentator Tucker Carlson, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and several other cabinet members. It was an incredible tribute to a life well...

The massive gathering for Charlie Kirk on Sunday was more than just a funeral — it was a message. A 200,000-person crowd inundated the stadium inside and out, and millions around the world watched live. They prayed for, celebrated and mourned a man who brought them all together. Multitudes in red, white and blue. Yet these faithful, and Kirk himself, have been mostly disregarded by the mainstream media — or worse, slandered by them — for their Christian faith and conservative values. They scream, “We are here!” They elect Donald Trump — twice. They rise together in shock after Kirk’s...

Nexstar Media Group Inc. said it will begin preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday’s return broadcast, joining Hunt Valley-based Sinclair Broadcast Group in pulling the show for the foreseeable future. ABC had said Monday it would reinstate the late-night show despite criticism of Kimmel’s comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But both Sinclair and Texas-based Nexstar said they objected to Kimmel’s remarks and would replace the program with alternative content across their ABC affiliates. (...)

On the first weekend of September, I saw Charlie Kirk speak at the Build Up Korea conference in Seoul. It was his first trip to Asia and sadly destined to be his last; five days later, he was assassinated at Utah Valley University. The conference is an annual gathering of young Korean conservatives, with whom Kirk had become quite popular. Even after having taught university here for seven years, I still did not feel like I had a good handle on the current political scene. The issues that are divisive can appear puzzling and petty to the outsider unfamiliar with...

For years, the Left has been carping about changing the name of "Columbus Day", a federal holiday on the second Monday in October. Well, here's a great opportunity for us. Charlie Kirk's birthday is October 14. Let's designate Monday, Oct. 13 as "Charlie Kirk Day", "Revival Day", "Turning Point Day" or something similar. I don't think Columbus would mind sharing his day with a great American hero. What do you think? Should we change the name of "Columbus Day" to "Charlie Kirk Day"? No, leave it the way it is. Yes, officially. (That might take an act of Congress.) Yes,...

“What is God’s plan when I go to a college campus? I just believe I will only tell truth, I will not compromise, and I’ll love on the lost,” Charlie Kirk once said regarding his work on American colleges. On September 10, the Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA was assassinated while dialoguing with a student at Utah Valley University during TPUSA’s “The American Comeback Tour.” Since his untimely death, Kirk’s impact on American culture and politics has proven to be massive. Numerous media outlets, political and cultural figures, domestically and globally, have covered this tragic event and the...

Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson referred to a murderous plot of people eating hummus in Jerusalem in a speech comparing the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk to that of Jesus at the activist's memorial service on Sunday, which led many commentators to accuse Carlson of engaging in antisemitic dog whistles and flirting with conspiracies about an Israeli hand behind the September 10 murder. -snip- Anti-Israel activist Jackson Hinkle clipped the segment of the speech and posted it to his X account, remarking, "mic drop." Quds News Network also captioned the speech as Carlson suggesting "Israeli involvement in Charlie...

Conservatives have been successfully calling on teachers to be fired for justifying Charlie Kirk's murder A conservative political action committee launched an effort to expose teachers across the country justifying Charlie Kirk’s assassination online and is pushing back on claims from the left that conservatives are being hypocritical about free speech. Stefano Forte, executive director of 1776 Project PAC, spoke to Fox News digital about the new form live on the organization’s website where users can flag teachers and administrators who have justified Kirk’s killing online, a form he says has already yielded an "endless stream of tips." "Many people...

Charlie Kirk built himself into the face of a conservative youth movement through Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Behind the branding of “patriotism” and “freedom,” the record shows a pattern of rhetoric, organizational culture, and alliances that echoed white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center documented how TPUSA repeatedly framed immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and racial justice advocates as existential threats to “white Christian America,” warning followers that their families, religion, and entire way of life were under attack. In later years, Kirk openly embraced Christian nationalist language, claiming that liberty was only possible with a Christian population—a...

The line between church and state was nowhere to be found at Sunday's service, which drew masses of Charlie Kirk followers. A capacity crowd filled Glendale’s State Farm Stadium on Sunday, with thousands of people shut out of the 63,000-seat venue and directed to overflow seating at the nearby Desert Diamond Arena. Then, in both venues, they sat through a more than five-hour marathon of unapologetic Christian nationalism in honor of Charlie Kirk, the Arizona-based right-wing activist who was murdered on Sept. 10 at a college event in Utah. Christian nationalism is both a political and religious ideology that seeks...

An Orange County, California, high school student said he was suspended after his “Make America Great Again” hat was stolen, sparking a political argument with another student. Laguna Beach High School student Zach Hornstein told Fox News Digital that he and several friends wore MAGA hats on Sept. 11 to honor Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder who was shot and killed during a speaking event at a Utah college campus the day before. His death really affected us,” Hornstein said. “I may not agree with everything he says, but I appreciate that he encourages students to think critically,...
