Authorities are now reporting they’ve identified and taken into custody the assassin who shot Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU). The suspect responsible for the shot that took conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s life on Wednesday has been named as Tyler Robinson, 22 years old. Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends, “with a high degree of certainty,” that the suspect was caught, praising law enforcement for their investigative work. “A family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend, who contacted the Washington County Sherriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to...

Tyler Robinson "had become more political in recent years," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said a family member of his told investigators, hinting at a possible motive in Charlie Kirk's killing. Recently, and before the shooting Wednesday, the 22-year-old Utah local came to dinner and was talking with another family member about how Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. The TWO "talked about why THEY didn't like him and the viewpoints that he [Kirk] had," Cox said in a press conference Friday morning. Kirk was "full of hate and spreading hate," THE FAMILY MEMBER told investigators, according to the governor.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was “full of hate” in the days before the shooting, according to a family friend, as authorities revealed the 22-year-old had confessed to the assassination and had been turned in by a relative. Bullets found in the chamber of the rifle reportedly used by Robinson included apparent left-wing slogans such as “Hey fascist! Catch!” and another referencing “Oh, Bella Ciao!” a popular Italian anti-fascist song.

President Trump announced early Friday that a suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father — with law enforcement sources telling The Post it is a 22-year-old Utah local, Tyler Robinson. “I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview. “Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with...

The suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident. Law enforcement sources told Daily Mail that Robinson was taken into custody as the alleged assassin who killed Kirk at a rally at Utah Valley University in Utah on Wednesday. The alleged killer confessed to his father Matt, who is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, sources told Daily Mail. His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody. His mother, Amber Robinson, works for Intermountain Support Coordination Services, a company contracted by...

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani refused to denounce a resolution by his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America’s to boot members who were not strongly anti-Zionist. Mamdani tiptoed around the hateful resolution at the Labor Day Parade along Fifth Avenue, where he marched alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont). “My reaction is that the platform, that I am running on, the one that I want to be held accountable to by New Yorkers is the one that is on my website. It’s the one that I’ve been running on since the beginning of this campaign and that the only orders...

For quite some time, the leftist political establishment has been accusing President Donald Trump of abandoning the US Constitution. Now they have me wondering why that’s supposed to be a criticism. Just last week The New York Times, the establishment’s chief house organ, boosted the arguments of writer Osita Nwanevu in a column headlined: “Abolish the Senate. End the Electoral College. Pack the Court.” Why? Because “The left can’t win without a new Constitution.” He’s hardly the first Democrat to say so. I’ve noticed that whenever the Constitution stands in the way of something the left wants at the moment,...

Rep. DeGette introduces private bill to give Jeannette Vizguerra permanent resident status By: Óscar ContrerasAug 11, 2025 DENVER — Jeanette Vizguerra, a prominent Colorado immigrant rights activist detained by federal immigration agents earlier this year for being in the country illegally, could obtain lawful residency in the country if a bill introduced by a Colorado representative manages to make it past the Republican-controlled Congress. “I have filed in Congress a bill – a private bill – to release Jeanette and to let her stay in this country while her immigration case proceeds,” said Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat, during a...

Protest has long shaped political discourse in the North Bay, from anti-war marches and Black Lives Matter demonstrations to animal rights actions at local farms and factories. But under Donald Trump’s second term, as political tensions deepen, such actions have become more frequent — and more provocative. On July 17, in Santa Rosa’s Old Courthouse Square, a protest took a sharp turn into political theater. A small group of activists, dressed in brown military-style uniforms and Nazi armbands, staged a performance of “Springtime for Hitler,” a satirical musical number from Mel Brooks’ 1967 film, “The Producers.” Lyrics were rewritten to...

Earlier this week the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) uploaded to YouTube the video of a panel discussion from its annual Socialism Conference, held in Chicago over Independence Day weekend. For those who hear the term democratic socialism and picture happy Scandinavians living their best lives instead of being chewed up in a capitalist rat race, it’s worth noting that the discussion featured open calls for the abolition of the nuclear family in the United States. No surprise there. The DSA is not a separate political party but aligns with far Left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (until they determined she...

Michigan House Democrats introduced legislation Thursday to criminalize the concealing the identities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other officers while on duty. If signed into law, it would apply to federal, state and local law enforcement across the state, according to the legislation. There will be exceptions for the use of masks for undercover operations, protection against disease and specific dangerous situations. If violated, officers could face up to 90 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine. Democratic Michigan State Rep. Betsy Coffia announced the bill at a July 25 press conference alongside Democratic State...

Minnesota's branch of the Democratic Party endorsed far-left Minnesota State Sen. Omar Fateh's campaign for mayor of Minneapolis on Saturday. Fateh announced the endorsement from the Democratic Farmer-Labor (DFL) party on social media. He secured the endorsement over incumbent mayor Jacob Frey, also a Democrat. "I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us," Fateh wrote on X. The DFL did not immediately respond to...

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) issued a statement after President Donald Trump suggested he would be arrested for refusal to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. In Mamdani’s statement, he stated that Trump had “threatened” to have him “arrested, stripped” of his citizenship and “put in a detention camp and deported.” Mamdani, a Democrat socialist, also criticized Trump for praising New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D). “The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported,” Mamdani said. “Not because...

Many people are wondering how Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist Muslim who wants to defund the police, globalize the intifada, and destroy capitalism, has emerged as the Democratic Party's nominee for New York City mayor, with leaders like former President Bill Clinton fawning over him. To understand Mamdani’s political ascent, you have to trace the red-green-blue spider’s web that brought him here. This isn’t a complete map — I've written a book, "Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Undermining America’s Freedom," to document that story — but it is a snapshot of key turning points over two decades of...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Senator Alex Padilla is crying on live television after his arrest. These are not serious people. From Collin Rugg

Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Homeland Security agents were using “Gestapo-like tactics” to arrest immigrants. Goldman said, “I will be introducing a bill that will prevent Homeland Security officers from hiding or concealing their identities and wearing masks, because we don’t live in a country, an authoritarian country, where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That’s the stuff of authoritarian states. That is not the stuff of the — that’s not how the United States operates. And that’s really where this is breaking down, is the...

On January 20, 2025, the first day of his second presidential term, Donald Trump signed an executive order: “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” The bad old days of the “censorship-industrial complex,” allegedly responsible for suppressing online speech under President Joe Biden, were over.Except they weren’t. The driving force behind online censorship had never been the U.S. government, which meant that freedom of speech could not be restored by the stroke of a president’s pen. Rather, the European Union has wielded its Digital Services Act (DSA) to restrict the speech not just of Europeans but especially of Americans...

An English instructor at Glendale Community College recently sent an email encouraging the campus community to join in protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The call came as riotous demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles have included destruction of property, looting, arson incidents, and the injury of at least five police officers. On Sunday, Julie Gamberg, a faculty member at Glendale Community College, sent an email promoting anti-ICE demonstrations organized by the Democratic Socialists of America’s Los Angeles chapter, according to screenshots of the note circulated on X. “Citizens who know their rights can disrupt and slow ICE incursions,” states...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced new visa restrictions the Trump administration is implementing against foreign authorities who it says are "complicit" in censoring Americans. "For too long, Americans have been fined, harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their free speech rights," Rubio wrote on X. "Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the American way of life – a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority." Foreigners who work to undermine the rights of...
