    We already have the text messages between Lance Twiggs and Tyler Robinson where the later confesses to the crime. Twiggs confirmed in this pre-recorded interview, taken in April but played for the first time in court on Thursday, that Robinson was acting strangely and making statements of regret the following day. He also confirmed that Robinson left early the day of the assassination. Yesterday, the FBI forensic expert who led the team that analyzed the crime scene said Tyler Robinson's DNA was found on the screwdriver that was used to assemble the .30-06 rifle that shot Charlie Kirk. His DNA...

    After complaining for years that Gen Z grads are difficult to work with, bosses are no longer all talk, no action: Now they’re rapidly firing young workers who aren’t up to scratch just months after hiring them. The numbers are stark. According to a survey, six in 10 employers admitted they had already sacked the Gen Z workers they had hired fresh out of college. Intelligent.com, a platform dedicated to helping young professionals navigate the future of work, surveyed nearly 1,000 U.S. business leaders. It found that the class of 2024’s shortcomings are shaping how bosses hire next—and it’s not...

    A completely avoidable tragedy has struck in Ireland as a result of its open-borders immigration policies, as a liberal American citizen living in the nation has been brutally murdered. As The Irish Times reported, 43-year-old Jamey Carney was found deceased in her rented home in Killarney on Tuesday at around 1:20 pm local time by a family member. Carney lived at the residence with her 13-year-old daughter. The murder was absolutely horrible. The Irish Mirror reported that Carney not only suffered serious head injuries in a brutal attack but had been hidden by a duvet being placed over her. Carney...

    How ludicrous is that? Firearms have been around for a thousand years in one form or another. There are over a billion of them in circulation around the world, around 85% of them in civilian hands, largely thanks to the U.S. (private American citizens own over half of all guns, at 533 million in 2025). The UK pretends that this technology doesn't exist and makes it illegal to own them, even if the blaster is a GIFT from another world leader to the PRIME MINISTER. Starmer, who apparently doesn't have an ounce of testosterone in his body, was reportedly baffled...

    A Kuwaiti man who obtained a green card in the U.S. is being sent home after he called America ā€œthe enemyā€ and expressed support for terrorists. Tareq Alkhudari entered the country on a non-immigrant student visa in 2014 to attend San Jose State University, a source familiar with the situation said. He gained lawful permanent resident status in November 2024, but is now in federal custody pending removal from the United States after Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated his legal status. In posts from his Instagram and Bluesky accounts, Alkhudari repeatedly expresses disdain for the United States and white...

    [Translated from Dutch] We fell off our seats when we received the following video. It turns out to be a video of Kunstencentrum KAAP from Bruges and Ostend. That arts center ā€˜deserves’ 68% of its turnover by simply reaching out its hand to the Flemish Government, which then invests 2 million euros every year. With that 2 million euros, KAAP organizes, really, you hold on, ā€œdecolonizingā€ dance projects. You will see an example of such a ā€˜decolonizing’ dance in annex. Have we become collectively mad or what? No, but really, seriously, the Flemish Government is losing! There is money short,...

    The Case for America takes on one of the most contested legal battles in modern American history - the true story of January 6th. Host Treniss Evans is joined by attorney Roger Roots and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Raiklin to dismantle what they call a five-year government narrative built on the word "insurrection." Roots argues the DOJ systematically overcharged and over-sentenced J6 defendants with felony charges unprecedented in American history, while filing a sweeping 90-plus-page civil complaint on behalf of hundreds of Jers. Raiklin says the statute of limitations on that testimony expires in just three weeks, and he's...

    War is back on in Iran on Wednesday after Tehran launched attacks on trade vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he considers the tentative ceasefire with Iran to be "over," telling reporters alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the alliance's annual summit in Ankara, Turkey, that the agreement had become "a waste of time." "For me, I think it's over," Trump said. "As far as I'm concerned it's just a waste of time." "They're liars," Trump said. "We make a deal. ... They go outside, talk to the press. They say, 'We never even...

    Case was funded by 'orgy-loving racist' Max Mosley and actor Hugh Grant, says Dacre.Former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre has given his reaction to an ā€œoverwhelmingā€ High Court privacy trial victory versus Prince Harry saying the case was a ā€œconspiracyā€ to destroy the paper. ā€œPrince Harry wrote a sad book which boasted about his killing of 25 Taliban, his drug-taking and, in cringe-making detail, how he lost his virginity. There isn’t a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family. For him to complain about HIS privacy being invaded...

    Francken just had a bad idea and acted on it. In today’s NATO summit in Turkey, Belgium is one of the lowest-investing countries in the alliance – and now, its Defense Minister has gone on a limb against Donald J. Trump because of his social media spat with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken is aware that Europe needs the U.S. to defend the continent, and he thinks the alliance leaders should be careful not to alienate Trump. While the Trump-Meloni spat escalated on Sunday with the US President posting a photo of Meloni, joking that...
