Charlie Kirk's accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, can still face the potential death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder, a Utah judge ruled Friday. Judge Tony Graf Jr. found Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard was in contempt of a court order for statements he made about his opinion on the strength of evidence in the case — but he was not wrong for making other statements in which he disputed a misleading characterization about specific ballistic evidence from a defense court filing. As a result, Graf denied Robinson's argument that the appropriate remedy would be to remove the potential death...

The algae in the Reflecting Pool has been almost completely removed despite liberal activists’ best efforts to impede the removal of algae and destroy the pool’s renovations. Greenwater Services contracted in April by the Department of the Interior for the “procurement and installation of a Nano Bubble Filtration System designed to replace the existing, failing filtration infrastructure at the Reflecting Pool.” The company has come under fire from left-wing media outlets, who claim a conflict of interest because a part-owner of the company is a GOP donor, and that the company has a lack of expertise in filtration systems. During...

The lies told by the man who killed Henry Nowak have been exposed in newly obtained police body-worn video from the night of his death, released following a request by the BBC. Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of the 18-year-old Southampton university student after stabbing him multiple times last December. The new footage shows Digwa's repeated and insistent "wicked lies" to officers about having been "racially attacked" and his false claims that Henry was "obviously drunk". It also backs an assertion by the Nowak family that Digwa was "never handcuffed",...

Senate Republicans are scrambling for a strategy to pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping election reform bill, along with $67 billion to $350 billion in defense spending after holding a contentious meeting with President Trump this week. Trump told GOP senators in blunt terms during the meeting Wednesday in the Senate’s Mansfield Room to find a way to pass the SAVE America Act — his preferred version of the bill — and Trump brought along Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to press Republicans to also pass tens of billions of dollars in emergency funding for the Pentagon. Trump’s full-court...

Many questions remain about the complex mission to rescue the crew of the U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle that came down over Iran in April of this year and what led to it. Now, the reported testimony of the Strike Eagle pilot involved describes a ‘jellyfish-like’ swarm of drones in the sky, moments before they ejected from the stricken jet. According to a report from CNN, the pilot recounted seeing “multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish.” The report is based on statements from four unnamed sources said to...

@RandPaul Gain-of-function research in foreign labs is a public health threat. Funding it with taxpayer dollars without oversight is reckless. Hiding the evidence is a crime against the American people. Dr. Fauci's NIH did all three. They funded dangerous experiments in Wuhan, buried the evidence, and silenced anyone who tried to tell the truth. I have spent years fighting to expose it, and I am not finished.

A Virginia judge has issued a statewide preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the Commonwealth’s new ban on so-called “assault firearms” until December 31, 2026, handing Virginia gun owners a major victory just days before the law was scheduled to take effect.The ruling came Thursday in Crump v. Katz, the state-court challenge to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s sweeping gun-control package. The judge read the preliminary injunction from the bench and made clear that the assault-firearms ban is now enjoined statewide while the case proceeds.The Commonwealth tried to limit the injunction to Lancaster County. The judge refused.The state then asked the judge to...

Harrowing footage has revealed the extent of the damage and chaos inflicted on Venezuela by a pair of massive earthquakes last night. The back-to-back 7.1 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck near the coast, sending terrified residents racing out from swaying apartment blocks as walls collapsed and clouds of dust rose over the capital. 'High casualties and extensive damage are probable and the disaster is likely widespread,' the US Geological Survey said, 'with an initial death toll estimate likely between 10,000 and 100,000.' On Thursday, Venezuelan authorities said at least 164 people had been killed, while hundreds more have been injured....

The Justice Department has announced charges in a “sophisticated” criminal operation that it says used high-powered drones to deliver weapons, drugs, cell phones and escape tools into prisons in east coast states. US Attorney Keyes the middle district of Georgia, Federal Bureau of Prisons and FBI investigators in Atlanta, say the rogue drone operation led out of a former daycare in Macon, Georgia where multiple drones were launched on covert missions to deliver the contraband by air to 10 federal prisons at night. “We’re here to announce the unsealing of an indictment that charges the most sophisticated and sprawling criminal...

Brian and Jen Wagner got into a verbal spat with the Somali family in the suburb of Shakopee, Minnesota, this week. The family claimed they were accosted out of the blue while looking through the neighborhood, with video showing Brian Wagner told them: 'Nobody wants you here.' 'Not a single person here wants you,' he added, the footage shows. 'I can smell you from here.' He then appeared to reference ongoing fraud investigations in Minnesota that have been connected to the Somali community, as he questioned: 'Where’d you get your money for the house? All you do is steal.' A...

U.S. — In a powerful showing of solidarity with the algae discoloring the newly-renovated Reflecting Pool, liberals across the nation have begun adding green pond scum to their drinking water. Democrats are proudly guzzling the verdant potable, a small act of daily rebellion against the tyranny of President Trump. The trend gained momentum after activists began posting videos of themselves drinking murky green water under the hashtag #StandWithTheScum. Influencers competed to demonstrate their commitment by consuming increasingly opaque beverages. "Take that, Donald," said local liberal woman Amy Gunther as she videoed herself gulping down another glass of algae. "Team...

A Florida woman was just let off by a judge after pleading insanity. Her crime? Drowning her 15-month-old toddler and stabbing her husband and teenage daughter when they tried to stop her. Yes, it's apparently legal to drown your toddler if you're stressed due to Covid?? Big news for Casey Anthony wannabes out there! I think "waiving" a jury trial may have worked in the defendant's favor this time around. But for judge de la O, it may have been a major misstep. "This was a bench trial. It’s time to impeach this judge. My office will be drafting articles...

Denmark is moving towards a nationwide ban on the Islamic call to prayer, with senior ministers arguing the public broadcast of the adhan has no place in the country's soundscape. The proposal has triggered fierce debate over religious freedom, integration and whether the measure crosses a constitutional line. The proposed ban has become one of the most contentious religious policy discussions in Denmark in recent years, with supporters framing it as a defence of secular public space and critics warning it risks marginalising religious minorities. Why Morten Bødskov Wants Denmark to Ban the Islamic Call to Prayer Morten Bødskov, Denmark's...
