Two sisters accused of trashing a Charlie Kirk memorial in Arkansas said they have been harassed and fired from their jobs as they asked for cash for their legal defense. Kerri, 23, and Kaylee Rollo, 22, were arrested last week in Bentonville, near the border with Missouri, and charged with vandalizing a makeshift Kirk shrine. Video of the incident taken by a witness appears to show Kerri ripping signs and kicking candles placed on the memorial whilst saying Kirk 'lived as he died - promoting violence.' 'Record all you want,' Kerri, who uses they pronouns, added and put up two...

GoFundMe has terminated pro-Charlie Kirk fundraisers. Presumably, however, not only will they not allow peaceful pro-Charlie Kirk fundraisers, but they actively support violence against Charlie Kirk memorials. Two sisters destroyed a memorial to the assassinated Kirk as they launched expletives at those who mourned. One was fired for her violence and hate toward mourners for a victim of assassination.

A Michigan middle schooler courageously disarmed a gun-carrying classmate, but was expelled when he failed to alert a teacher immediately, his furious mother claimed. Sakir, a seventh grader at the Dwight Rich School of the Arts, allegedly spotted his classmate carrying the gun during the school day and jumped into action to protect his peers, according to reports. “Sakir’s instinct was not to run away — it was to protect his classmates,” according to a GoFundMe set up for the young student and his family. “…preventing what could have been an unimaginable tragedy.” However, Everett was accused of possession of...

Let's start by refreshing your memory on a few facts. Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, was fired from his job after a nonpartisan Inspector General determined that he'd lied under oath to federal investigators on multiple occasions. McCabe then started a GoFundMe, playing the victim as he manipulated 'Resistance' voters into sending him hundreds of thousands of their dollars. CNN, the self-professed "facts first" network proceeded to hire him as an analyst -- this man who'd been sacked for not telling the truth, under penalty of perjury. McCabe has used that platform to assail his critics,...

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday announced charges against a 41-year-old undocumented mother from South Los Angeles, accusing her of orchestrating a fake kidnapping by federal immigration agents to generate sympathy and solicit donations. Yuriana Julia “Juli” Pelaez Calderon is charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers. On June 30, Calderon’s family and attorney held a news conference claiming she had been taken from a fast-food restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles, driven to the U.S.-Mexico border, and told to self-deport.

An employee has been fired from Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz after they were caught leaking videos from the illegal alien detention facility on social media. A TikTok user identified as @skitheteamroski claimed that he was fired from working at Alligator Alcatraz after he posted video footage from the pop-up immigrant detention center online.

31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican —and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”.. This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors. According to @DataRepublican , the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change. Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in...

Well, that didn't take long. Celebrities have once again proved that no amount of tragedy or carnage can humble them. No amount of collective human loss will bring them down to our level. Exhibit A: America's one-time sweetheart, Mandy Moore. As LA wildfires continue raging, the 40-year-old actress is begging for money on Instagram. Yes, the star of 'This Is Us', a ratings juggernaut that reportedly earned her $23 million over the show's entire six-season run, wants average Americans to donate to her own family members. Check out Moore's galling, tone-deaf, frankly obscene Instagram post, promoting a GoFundMe for her...

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left parts of North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee completely devastated, the Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to provide stranded Americans with basic needs. On Christmas, many towns are still struggling to get by with residents sleeping in tents. When it became evident in September that the federal government was failing to adequately respond, President-elect Donald Trump launched a GoFundMe page for hurricane victims. "President Trump announced over $8 million in donations for victims of Hurricane Helene raised through his dedicated GoFundMe.

House Democrats pressured U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance and even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer and charitable assistance not provided to other officers, according to internal emails reviewed by Just the News. "He is very upset about how he is being treated. He wants us to figure this out and now," a top congressional aide to then-House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, wrote to Capitol Police in November 2021 pressing for more assistance to Lt....

Last October, a well-known Portland antifa militant was killed under mysterious circumstances after leaving a pub popular with far-left extremists. Sean Daniel Kealiher, 23, was killed near the Cider Riot pub after being hit by a car that had been fired upon with live rounds. His friends dragged his body away and did not call the police. Kealiher’s death immediately rippled throughout Portland and beyond, leading both the far-left and even establishment Democrat leaders to mourn publicly. A GoFundMe for his funeral raised thousands. And while he was lionized in the press as a murdered “anti-fascist activist” and even called...

Scientologists Elena and Grant Cardone established a GoFundMe page to help pay Donald Trump's latest legal bill. The ardent MAGA supporters set up the page hours after the former president was ordered to pay $355 million fine for lying about his wealth for years. 'I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York' Elena Cardone wrote on the page. Cardone is seeking donations from supporters to cover the full cost of Trump's fine. However, only $53,000 had been donated as of Saturday afternoon....

As my colleague Nick Arama reported on Saturday morning, left-wing, virtue-signaling, multimillionaire actress Alyssa Milano had the intestinal fortitude on Thursday to ask her fans to help pay for her son's traveling baseball team's trip to Cooperstown, N.Y., home of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame. My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here:Why all the gall— Wait.

Two years ago, I wrote a column denouncing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of a counter-terrorism law to shut down the Freedom Convoy trucker protests as an authoritarian attack on free speech. Now, a Canadian court has agreed and ruled that the use of the Emergencies Act was unlawful and “unreasonable.” Despite Trudeau’s attacks on civil liberties, he remains a favorite of the media as an iconic figure on the left. Various civil liberties groups have opposed the iron-handed measures of Trudeau, including The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation. The characterization of political critics as...
