Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, but only a neo-hater of Kirk with no criminal history. Apart from his hatred towards what Charlie Kirk stood for, there is no strong motive found behind why he took him down, leading social media narrative to focus on Nick Fuentes' 'Groyper' movement.

Vermont socialist has spent millions on private jet travel over the years.. Sen. Bernie Sanders has crisscrossed the country on his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rail against billionaires and supposed "oligarchs" like Elon Musk—while traveling like an oligarch himself. Campaign expenditures released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Sanders's main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent $221,723 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, with the first payment coming just days before the launch of his tour in February. "We will not accept a rigged economy where working people struggle while billionaires become...

Left-wing protesters flooded candlelight vigils for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated. They started problems and shouted horrible epithets. Thankfully, the police were there to protect people in mourning and make multiple arrests.

SAN MARCOS, Texas - A Texas State University history professor has been fired after being accused of calling for political violence after a video of him speaking at a socialism conference was posted on social media. In a video posted on YouTube by Decode the Left, Thomas Alter criticizes the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists of America and other groups for the way they are organized during the Revolutionary Socialism Conference. Alter then goes on to praise some anarchists, specifically those who protested Georgia’s "cop city," for going beyond "symbolic protests that do not disrupt the normal functioning of government...

In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter. The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military...

A professor at the University of Chicago recently cursed against the school and said she only worked there to “build power” for Palestinian solidarity. The professor, Eman Abdelhadi, made the statements on July 5 during a socialism conference held in Chicago, according to The Daily Caller. In her remarks, Abdelhadi reportedly said that UChicago is “evil” and a “colonial landlord,” and that she asked herself why she worked there. “F**k the University of Chicago—it’s evil,” the professor said. “You know, it’s a colonial landlord. Why would I put any of my political energy into this space?”

In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”. “The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend said. Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would “always just be ranting and arguing about them”. The friend said that they played video games together a lot in high school and noted that the bullet engraving with...

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...
