Conservative activist Cam Higby was attacked outside Washington’s Union Station this week while attempting to engage in peaceful political discussions. The incident comes as Higby launches his “Fearless Tour,” an effort he says that is inspired by the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated while engaging in similar dialogue. In the viral clip, a woman is first seen kneeling beside Higby, reaching for his MAGA hat. As Higby repeats, “Stop, stop, stop,” the woman, identified as Taylor Forte, grew more aggressive, standing up and trying to rip the hat from his head before knocking him over in his chair. Higby...

During a July 16 episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” on “Real America’s Voice,” Kirk explained that he believes Protestants do not venerate or talk about Mary enough. He said she “is the solution” to “toxic feminism in America.” But let me first say, I think we as Protestants and Evangelicals under-venerate Mary. She was very important. She was a vessel for our Lord and Savior...I think that we, as Evangelicals and Protestants, we've overcorrected. We don't talk about Mary enough. We don't venerate her enough. Mary was clearly important to early Christians. There's something there. In fact, I believe...

Charlie Kirk was killed by a left that feels entitled to silence its enemies, by any means necessary.American conservatives have experienced a range of emotions in recent years, starting with amazement – amazement at the hypocrisy of the left. How many times have we heard that US president Donald Trump’s attempts to reform universities threaten academic freedom? Many of the people making this accusation have run professors out of town for dissenting from campus orthodoxies, whether regarding ‘systemic racism’ or climate change. These new-found free-speech crusaders have required faculty to sign loyalty oaths to the cult of diversity. At best,...

The president and his Maga allies have used the rightwing influencer’s killing to justify attacks on critics, experts sayDonald Trump and Maga allies have capitalized on the killing of rightwing influencer Charlie Kirk to expand attacks on liberal groups, donors, Democrats, and others by tarring many critics as the “enemy within” and “radical left” in a move that legal scholars and historians call authoritarian and anti-democratic. Kirk’s killing by a lone gunman spurred Trump and top allies to quickly launch conspiratorial charges against a bevy of political foes and an investigation of billionaire liberal donor George Soros. They also threatened...

Trump’s staunch supporter and Conservative US leader Charlie Kirk, who died on September 10 after being shot at an event in Utah, just days before his death said that America does not need more visas for Indians. Kirk’s controversial post on X resurfaced in which he said America was “full" and it was time to put “our own people first". The 31-year-old had built a strong following among youth through his posts and podcast. His remarks were termed ‘xenophobic’ by critics who said they undermined bilateral ties and innovation pipelines.

By Josh Hammer Newsweek senior editor-at-large and host, "The Josh Hammer Show" If one were dead set on dividing President Donald Trump's MAGA coalition at the seams, how would one proceed? Trying to drive a wedge through the immigration issue doesn't necessarily make sense: Tightening and securing America's borders is so core to the nationalist-populist MAGA project that there can be little room in the coalition for much dissent. Trying to divide MAGA along economic laissez-faire or populism lines is also doomed to fail: As important as pocketbook issues are to everyday Americans, the wonky details of fiscal policy generally...

Less than a month removed from Charlie's assassination in Utah, the Salt Lake Tribune published this cartoon entitled "The Hole-in-the-Head Gang" depicting a wanted poster with elected officials from the state (with red around the neck?!).

Among issues Charlie Kirk took a strong stand against was immigration, even legal immigration stemming from H1B visas that many Indian students and professionals use. “America does not need more visas for people from India. Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first,” he said in a post on X on September 1 He was responding to a Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham’s post suggesting that a US-India trade deal might involve more visas for Indian professionals. In a subsequent post on...

An old tweet by Charlie Kirk has resurfaced after Donald Trump signed a proclamation requiring companies to pay $100,000 yearly for H-1B visas for foreign employees. Shared just six days before he was shot and killed at a Utah college event, the conservative influencer posted that “America does not need more visas for people from India.” “Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first,” he tweeted on September 2. He was fatally shot on September 10 while debating gun violence during an...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson: An individual has been arrested for threatening to kill my wife, my four children, and me. He sent a letter to my home saying he hated our views and wanted us dead. He is being charged federally and faces prison time. I want to thank President Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice for immediately acting and saving my family. We are forever grateful. Left-wing violence is exploding with copycats appearing everywhere. It is the greatest threat to our country today, targeting people for simply speaking the truth. Let me be absolutely clear: We will...

Philemon 1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

A man who threatened conservative influencer Benny Johnson is set to face charges as part of a White House crackdown on political violence, Pam Bondi announced.The Attorney General gave a fiery address in Tampa, Florida on Friday as she said a suspect, named as George Isbel Jr., threatened to take out Johnson.Johnson commands a following of over four million on X and is one of the most outspoken conservative commentators on social media, known for rubbing shoulders with Donald Trump and other influential MAGA stars. In her speech on Friday, Bondi said Johnson had been targeted in recent weeks, and...

@TheChiefNerd Trevor Noah jokes about Charlie Kirk’s assassination during his standup set These people are sick

Members of the Antifa movement have physically assaulted and beaten conservatives for nearly a decade, but apparently, it’s wrong to be angry about it. CNN anchor Erin Burnett stepped in it when she tried to downplay Antifa’s long history of violence on Wednesday. Burnett played a clip of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying, “This network of Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ICIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them. They are just as dangerous.” “That's pretty incredible, right?” Burnett quipped. “Hamas has just been engaged in a two-year war that we just announced...

What this family confronted deserves to be noticed, praised, and modeled. Our country was given clarity in real time. harlie Kirk’s murderer came from somewhere. We all do. Since the “In the beginning …” times, our species has wrestled with the fundamental logic – and perceived unfairness – of holding parents responsible for the sins of their children. Or the other way around. In the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, the prophet makes this explicit: The person who sins will die. A son will not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for...

The Charlie Kirk show has responded after conservative political commentator Candace Owens released a screenshot of messages shared by Kirk in a group chat, where he had been discussing Jewish donors pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. "It is authentic," Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said in a video released on October 7. "I actually am really excited that the truth is out there. I first want to say, the reason I didn’t share that screengrab publicly is that it was a private exchange." Kolvet said Kirk's feelings about Israel were "complicated and nuanced" and he wanted...

Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican Congresswoman from Florida, has basically confirmed that Kash’s FBI is investigating the Dark Web extremist group “Armed Queers” of Salt Lake City in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Its founder is an Iranian and funded by Neville Singham and the Chinese Communist Party. Anna basically said that the Dark Web militant group called Armed Queers of Utah is being investigated by Kash’s FBI for facilitating Charlie’s murder (likely using Tyler as a patsy) and Charlie’s assassination was likely funded by foreign actors like the Chinese Communist Party, Iran (Hamas) and Qatar (the Muslim...

Charlie Kirk furiously criticized 'bullying' Jewish donors and said he was considering 'leaving the pro-Israel cause' before his death, it was confirmed today. The bombshell revelation comes after Candace Owens released a screenshot of Kirk fuming in a group chat that Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots on Tuesday during the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, In the text messages, Kirk privately complained that a Jewish donor had withdrawn a $2 million investment into the organization because he refused to disinvite Carlson...

In criminal prosecution, like construction, the smallest crack in the foundation can bring down the entire structure. The case against Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk, appears solid from the outside – confession texts, a recovered weapon, witnesses by the thousands. But beneath this seemingly ironclad exterior, a troubling vulnerability has emerged that should concern every American who values justice. Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while speaking to 3,000 supporters at Utah Valley University on September 10. A single bullet to the neck silenced one of conservatism’s most influential young...

I break down confirmed facts: the autopsy was done, a bullet was recovered, and investigators have the trajectory and fragmentation—now with the FBI. This is exactly why releasing raw evidence to the internet is reckless and can taint a jury. If you want justice for Charlie, you wait for trial and stop feeding conspiracy grifts. We’re also pushing the “I AM CHARLIE” drop because 100% of profits go to the Kirk family—goal: write Erica a $1,000,000 check.
