Actress Amber Tamblyn suggested that the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was a “public execution” and mocked the fact that Kirk’s daughter witnessed his horrific and gruesome murder. “Wish granted,” Tamblyn wrote in a Thursday BlueSky post, sharing a February 24, 2024 Newsweek article, headlined, “Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions.” Wish granted.

Imagine that President Donald Trump actively wanted to encourage radical right-wing groups and “lone wolf” individuals to wage open violent warfare on anyone they deem a leftist anywhere in America. If Trump wanted to send that precise message, he could hardly do much better than the words he actually did deliver on Fox and Friends on Friday morning.“We have radicals on the right, as well—we have radicals on the left,” Fox’s Ainsley Earhardt said as Trump listened during a discussion about the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. Earhardt continued: “How do we fix this country?”“I’ll tell you something that’s going to...

A Clemson University professor appears to have wiped his social media accounts after posting and sharing messages that mocked the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Melvin Earl Villaver Jr., an assistant professor of audio technology and global black studies in Clemson’s Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, appears to have reposted and commented on multiple X posts ridiculing Kirk after his murder at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. Screenshots shared by Clemson College Republicans show an account apparently belonging to Villaver, “Melvin Earl, Ph.D.,” reposting a message that read, “no one mourns the wicked.” Another repost mocked Kirk’s views on...

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, a doctor in Albuquerque has drawn national attention and condemnation for social media posts in which he appeared to celebrate the violence. Dr. John R. Vigil, identified in his public profile as board-certified in Addiction Medicine (not Virgil), a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, a Master Addiction Counselor, and associated with the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and JRV Medical Group, posted two messages on Facebook following Kirk’s death. In one, he reportedly wrote: “If you’re looking for sympathy from me...

Monroe Falls OHIO city councilman John Impellizzari —- He says the world is better now that Charlie Kirk has been killed …. Make him famous

As editors and reporters in the Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ newsroom geared up for President Trump’s proclamation earlier this month that he intended to send the National Guard to Chicago, we asked ourselves: How could we possibly cover the deployment of troops and more ICE agents if the operation was large and dispersed? One avenue? Engage the public. (As we published this story, Trump announced that he would be sending the National Guard to Memphis instead. The administration’s anti-immigration operation in Chicago continues.) So interactive developer Andjela Padejski and Chicago Public Media’s AI fellow Mark Chonofsky got to work on a...

A stew of hypertoxic rhetoric has surged through social media and American discourse after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, inflaming a political environment that was already deeply polarized. The most concerning messages, experts told NBC News, are proclamations from far-right activists, Republican politicians and conservative influencers about a coming civil war and the need for retribution or payback against the left for Kirk’s killing. The phrase “civil war” has spiked on social media and in Google searches. “The Left is the party of murder,” Elon Musk posted on X to his 226 million followers, shortly after the shooting...

Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder. It is possible that, in the history of America’s radicalization spiral, the horrifying, cold-blooded assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be recorded as only the second-most-dangerous event of September 10, 2025. If so, the more significant development will instead have been the speech that evening by President Donald Trump. If you did not listen to Trump’s remarks, which have received only light attention from the media, you might have missed the chilling message they contained. Trump...

Steve Cody, a councilman in Palmetto Bay, Florida, faced calls to resign on Thursday after publishing a post on Facebook in which he appeared to mock the Christian faith of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in the immediate moments after his assassination.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Cornelius City Councilor John Colgan is under criticism for a post he made about Charlie Kirk’s death on Facebook. “Hearing that Charlie Kirk got shot and died really brightened up my day,” Colgan said in the post. “Nobody deserves it, but some are asking for it.” Colgan is also a science teacher at Neil Armstrong Middle School in Forest Grove, according to the school’s website.

University of Michigan assistant professor Charles H.F. Davis stated on Thursday that the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is a “solution” to “violent rhetoric spewed by empowered people.” Davis’ research broadly focuses on “racism, oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education,” according to The Midwesterner. In addition to defending Kirk’s murder, Davis retweeted several posts that celebrated the assassination.

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his core mission was to have a civil debate on politics. “There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s— and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness” Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed George Floyd and opposed Juneteenth. “There is nothing more f—ed up than to pretend...

US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars in USAID and foreign aid that Congress authorized. Trump will immediately appeal Judge Ali’s ruling. “President Trump has the executive authority to ensure that all foreign aid is accountable to taxpayers and aligns with the America First priorities people voted for,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement to Reuters. Reuters reported:

President Trump's high-seas Navy strike on a boat full of illegal drugs and 11 narcos, taking it out and feeding the local sharks, didn't go over well with the Chavista elites in Caracas. But instead of pretending they had no idea drugs were being trafficked from Venezuela to the U.S., or at least pretending that they didn't know the particular criminals aboard, a leading Chavista kingpin went full frontal 'thug' instead: [X post in Spanish at link] Google Translation: #URGENT | Direct threat from Diosdado Cabello against María Corina due to the US offensive: "If they squeeze us, we squeeze...

Soros-sponsored Larry Krasner radically responds with threats against ICE. A George Soros-backed district attorney is vowing to wage a prosecutorial war against US Immigration and Customs (ICE) enforcement agents and any National Guard troops who may be deployed to his city. Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner has pledged to go after “people who commit crimes wearing a uniform,” likening them to ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is serving a 22 ½-year prison sentence for murder in the death of George Floyd in 2020.Krasner’s eye-opening interview with MSNBC, posted Aug. 31, provided a disturbing look into an urban progressive mindset....

A far-left federal judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatening to kill President Trump. Earlier this week a DC grand jury declined to indict Edward Dana after he was arrested damaging a light fixture at a DC restaurant. Dana also allegedly threatened to kill President Trump and the DC Metro officer who arrested him. .... Snip.... Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Thursday screamed from the bench and blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing to dismiss the case.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Wednesday to restore about $2.2 billion in federal funding for Harvard University, despite finding the Ivy League school was “plagued by antisemitism.” Regardless of antisemitism concerns, Boston-based District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled the federal grants awarded to Harvard were unlawfully terminated by President Trump. Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, determined there was “more than sufficient” evidence indicating the Trump administration “impermissibly retaliated against Harvard for refusing to capitulate to the government’s demands.” The Trump administration “specifically and repeatedly linked the coordinated funding cuts to Harvard’s decision to ‘fight,’” Burroughs...

Trump can’t use National Guard, military in California to enforce laws, Judge Breyer rules

Bobby Nunez, a tow truck driver in Los Angeles, is under arrest for towing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle during an enforcement operation in mid-August. Bill Essayli, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced his arrest Monday morning for theft of government property. Nunez is facing up to ten years in federal prison. How it started vs. How it’s going ARRESTED: Bobby Nunez is now under arrest for brazenly towing an ICE vehicle. He is charged with theft of government property. Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations....
