The transgender live-in boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin appears to have fled their cozy Utah townhouse, leaving mail piling up outside — as he faces mounting criticism for not turning the accused killer in after he confessed to the hateful slaying in a string of text messages. Lance Twiggs, 22, who has reportedly been cooperating with authorities since his partner, Tyler Robinson, 22, allegedly shot the Turning Point USA founder dead during a speaking event on Sept. 10, has disappeared, neighbors in St. George, Utah, told The Post Tuesday. Mail was spotted piling up outside the $1,800-per-month townhouse the...

Angelina Jolie spoke up about the free speech debate going on in the United States. The Oscar-winning actress was asked at a film festival in Spain over the weekend, “What do you fear as an artist and an American?” “It is a very difficult question,” Jolie responded, according The Guardian, “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country,” Jolie said. “I’ve always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life.” She went on to say, “My worldview is equal, united and international. Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from...

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...

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on Sunday that it caused her anguish to see that only two white lawmakers voted against the resolution honoring Charlie Kirk on Friday. Every Republican voted in favor of the resolution, but 58 Democrats voted against it, including Crockett and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who both cited their disagreement with his political views. Crockett asserted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Kirk “specifically targeted people of color” with his “rhetoric.” “One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when...

Heavy metal icons Gwar staged a mock beheading of Elon Musk and murdered President Trump during their performance at this weekend’s Riot Fest, with critics slamming the band for “normalizing violence.” Shocking video shows the chainsaw-wielding Musk mannequin, dressed in sunglasses, a baseball cap, a black “D.O.G.E.” t-shirt, matching black jeans and a jacket being decapitated by a member of the band mid-show at the Chicago rock festival. To cheers from the crowd, the mannequin’s head comes flying off with a slice of the costumed band member’s sword, sending a jet of fake blood spurting into the air. Gwar —...

Liberal Hollywood Director Rob Reiner is calling for an “all out war” against President Donald Trump and Fox News. Reiner, who frequently turns to Twitter to promote unsubstantiated Democrat claims that Trump (DT) has committed crimes, took to social media Sunday to accuse Trump (DT) of treasonous “colluding with the enemy” – and Fox News of covering it up: “When Fox says that DT colluding with the enemy is not a crime, the fight to save Democracy is now an all out war. US-Stay strong. #Treason”

<p>OK. This might be hard. You know how the FCC can fine someone on radio or TV for obscenity or for a wardrobe malfunction? This applies to the public airways—broadcast radio and TV. Here’s the idea: Extend this to cable and internet (that alone would require some heavy lifting), but instead of obscenity, the rule covers lying. Not opinion, of course. Actual lying.</p>

“That is, unfortunately, the cancer known as white supremacy,” said the Texas congresswoman after learning about Kirk’s comments about her and the Democratic Party. A month before his shooting death, conservative activist Charlie Kirk attacked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, blaming her and Democrats for being part of a “sinister” plan to replace white people in America. While discussing the issue of redistricting congressional maps, which played out dramatically in Texas last month, Kirk said on his Aug. 4 podcast show, “The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project.” “That is at the core...

George Soros has been the go-to bogeyman for the American right — and right-wing leaders around the world — for years. The 95-year-old billionaire has funneled money into causes around the globe, supporting democratic endeavors, immigration efforts and criminal justice reform through his Open Society Foundations, which he founded in 1979. In the intervening decades, Soros, with his large network of progressive causes and opposition to strong-arm governments, has become the target of conspiracy theories in areas that range from Malaysia to his birth country of Hungary, where a so-called “Stop Soros” law made it illegal to aid undocumented immigrants...

Late-night TV is well and truly dead — at the hands of the hosts themselves. Their weapon? Their own blind rage at half the country. Hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have deluded themselves into thinking that their mandate is to save democracy with one-sided political rants, rather than serving up breezy topical humor to send Americans to their nightly slumber. On Wednesday night, Kimmel was put on ice by ABC. Local affiliates had said they wouldn’t air “Jimmy Kimmel! Live” because of his vile monologue suggesting Charlie Kirk’s killer was a MAGA true believer. We hit some new...

Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to axe his late-night night show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination – while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.” SNIP “Absolutely f–king livid,” one producer told the outlet about how Kimmel took the news, adding that the “pissed” late-night host is currently meeting with the network. “This is clearly the government overreaching. There’s no such thing as free speech in America, if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like.” Sources told the outlet that the network’s...

Bowdoin College conservative students went to bed afraid Sunday after administrators informed the campus of “credible” threats that prompted the cancellation of a vigil honoring Charlie Kirk, a student leader told The College Fix by phone and email. “Despite being the recipients of this ‘supposed threat,’ we have not been informed of anything else, so many of my members are living in complete fear,” Bowdoin College Conservatives President Zak Asplin said Monday. Safa Zaki, president of the private Maine college, issued an announcement Sunday night that the situation was investigated and no longer deemed to be a threat. However, in...

Actor George Takei accused President Donald Trump and his allies of employing a Nazi playbook to exploit the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. The Star Trek actor made his claim when sharing a Substack article on BlueSky with the headline, “Is Charlie Kirk Their Reichstag Moment?” “After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order,” exclaimed Takei. “Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.”

I thought it looked fake as heck. Some Freepers here said it looked like it was written by a lawyer. I asked GPT. Here's what it says: "This looks more like a screenshot of text made to appear incriminating or dramatic rather than a genuine confession. A few reasons why: 1. Tone and Word Choice The writing mixes very casual “idk” and “love” with serious statements about rifles, the FBI, Trump, and turning oneself in. Real confessions or legal exchanges are usually more consistent in tone. The use of emoticons like “;-;” and shorthand (“rn,” “idk”) is more typical of...

President Trump has begun a major escalation in his long-running efforts to stifle political opposition in the United States, using the assassination of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to make the baseless argument that Democratic organizations and protesters are part of a violent conspiracy against conservative values and the American way of life.

Bob Vylan made inflammatory remarks at Amsterdam concert after Kirk was gunned down at Utah universityControversial British punk-rap artist Bob Vylan appeared to revel in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, calling for the slain father of two to "rest in piss." "I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of ---- of a human being," Vylan said at a concert in Amsterdam Saturday. Kirk, 31, was gunned down at Utah Valley University on Wednesday during a stop on his "American Comeback Tour." He was engaging in one of his signature debates with college students when a shot...

WHY is some guy taking things down in the tent when Charlie’s blood was still warm on the floor and the CRIME SCENE hasn’t even been processed yet?!?! Whoever that is, he was quite literally TAMPERING WITH CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE! Normally, there would be a HUGE law enforcement presence and they would have the whole area immediately cordoned off with yellow police tape after an event like this while waiting for the Coroner. You wouldn’t be able to get within 100 feet of this scene, not for a second. Instead, it’s like a damn ghost town. THIS IS EXTREMELY BIZARRE...

President Trump has threatened to declare a national emergency in Washington, D.C., to ensure his controversial crime crackdown survives. He railed against Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser’s decision to end the cooperation between the district’s police force and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers he sent in. Trump is also making bizarre claims about falling crime in Memphis being down to his intervention, even though he has not yet deployed any National Guard. Writing on Truth Social at around 1 a.m. Monday, Trump, 79, wrote that the National Guard and ICE patrolling the streets of the capital had “been a...
