Tucker's big ugly mouth.

Is there an active cover-up in the Brown University shooting? Does it involve Brown University and/or the FBI? Many are saying yes. Many are also saying it appears quite clear who the shooter is. NOTE: I am not saying this is the shooter. We don’t know. Also everyone is presumed innocent until being found guilty. But there’s a lot of smoke blowing around here and I want to show you everything we have so far…. People online believe the Brown Shooter is student Mustapha Kharbouch: 🚨: #BREAKING: Brown University Shooter IDENTIFIED?

President Trump and senior US officials said Monday they’re closing in on a sweeping peace framework to end the war in Ukraine — featuring “Article Five-like” security guarantees, a multibillion-dollar rebuilding plan, progress on tough territorial disputes, and a possible 50/50 split of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant — but Kyiv has added that many key details remain unknown. The goal, officials said, is to create a package that stops Russia from pushing further into Ukraine and gives Kyiv the strongest-ever shield against future aggression — with Trump touting the negotiations as being “closer now than ever.” The proposed NATO-style guarantees...

My guest today is Andrew Kolvet, who was Kirk’s close confidant. Since the assassination, he’s taken on many of Kirk’s responsibilities, including hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show.” Andrew Kolvet: …“Now, Charlie’s mission was to say: Hey, before us are two roads. You can either go grievance politics, socialism, free stuff populism, Mangione-ism, Mamdani-ism, or you can go MAGA.“ …“I think this is the through line for Israel — is you do not have to support Israel to belong to the team, at least in a traditional historical sense…I’m an American. I’m born in this country. My kids are going to...

Several prominent Republicans in the MAGA world have claimed that as many as 20 million people entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration. President Donald Trump and White House officials have said the administration is now planning to review all of these cases of migrants who entered the country under the previous administration. Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, said on Fox News Wednesday after two members of the National Guard were shot dead in Washington, D.C, “The breaking news tonight is saying that his government is going to accelerate efforts to review every single person...

Is Mary Co-Redemptrix? The Whole Doctrine Explained On November 4, 2025, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published a doctrinal Note in which it stated that the use of the traditional Marian title of Co-Redemptrix would be not only unnecessary, but even harmful. In the same document, however, the doctrine contained in that title is at the same time reaffirmed—though not always with precision. This article seeks to clarify the traditional meaning of this truth of faith, which for centuries has accompanied the Christian people in their sensus fidei.The Marian dogmasTo understand who the Most Holy Mary is,...

Comedian Jay Leno is taking his wedding vows seriously. Leno candidly opened up about honoring the promises he made more than 40 years ago as his wife, Mavis, battles advanced dementia. "The idea that you get married and take these vows — nobody ever thinks they’ll be called on to act on them, you know?" Leno said on the "Today" show.

QAnon is the online movement spawned by Q, a poster on the anonymous message board 4chan. In October 2017, they began leaving a series of gnomic posts riven with strange imagery – “drops.” Claiming to be a US official with a high-level security clearance, Q informed fellow users that the United States was secretly controlled by a clique of pedophiles and traitors encompassing much of the Democratic party and the intelligence services. But Donald Trump, who had recently been elected president, was alive to the danger. With the aid of friendly “deep state” elements, Trump was working behind the scenes...

Donald Trump’s new stock-buying strategy isn’t socialism, but it is a step toward a government-controlled economy. Recently, a handful of people—none of whom have ever invited me to their birthday party—accused President Donald Trump of being a socialist. Gavin Newsom, who many pundits credibly believe is the governor of California, said Trump is committing socialism by having the federal government buy stock in private companies. At the time of writing, the government has taken shares in Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, U.S. Steel, and even a Canadian mining company that mines cobalt or some other stupid mineral I hate. This...

President Trump is rejecting visas for fat people. The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with fat people. A Thursday directive from the State Department, sent to embassies and consulates around the world, indicates that people applying for visas to the United States may be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, on the grounds that they could take up domestic health care resources. “You must consider an applicant’s health,” the cable read. “Certain medical conditions—including, but not limited to,...

Can a Christian be a communist? I answer that question with an emphatic “no.” In the first place, it leaves out God and Jesus Christ. It regards religion intellectually as the product of fear and ignorance. And it regards religion historically as an instrument serving the ends of exploiters. A second reason that we can’t accept communism is that its methods are opposed to Christianity. Since for the communist there is no divine or absolute moral order…force, violence, murder, and lying are all justifiable means to bring about the millennial end… In the third place, we have to disagree with...

Moscow has proposed a 70-mile Elon Musk-built 'Putin-Trump' rail tunnel which would link Russia and America. The tunnel, which would go under the Bering strait, would unlock joint exploration of natural resources and 'symbolise unity', a Kremlin envoy said. The proposal has suggested using The Boring Company, a US tunnel construction company owned by Elon Musk, to construct the $8billion bridge. It comes as the Kremlin desperately tries to stop Donald Trump from providing crucial Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Kirill Dmitriev, President's Vladimir Putin's investment envoy and head of Russia's RDIF sovereign wealth fund, said Moscow and 'international partners', including...

For years, the Left has been carping about changing the name of "Columbus Day", a federal holiday on the second Monday in October. Well, here's a great opportunity for us. Charlie Kirk's birthday is October 14. Let's designate Monday, Oct. 13 as "Charlie Kirk Day", "Revival Day", "Turning Point Day" or something similar. I don't think Columbus would mind sharing his day with a great American hero. What do you think? Should we change the name of "Columbus Day" to "Charlie Kirk Day"? No, leave it the way it is. Yes, officially. (That might take an act of Congress.) Yes,...

Charlie Kirk’s murder proves free speech absolutism cannot withstand lies turned lethal—America must confront hate and incitement with lawful strength, not naïve trust.The murdered Charlie Kirk was a martyr to free speech and the belief in the power of reasoned argument to overcome lies and evil. “Hate speech does not exist legally in America,” he wrote on X in May of 2024. “There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.” There is much to admire in Charlie’s devotion to those principles, but his murder put those principles to...

Cynthia Rollins doesn’t hate California — far from it. The sun-drenched shores of San Diego, the vibrant desert oasis of Palm Springs and the hustle of San Francisco all held special places in the California native’s life story. But in 2020 — at the height of the pandemic — Rollins’ typically serene Ocean Beach neighborhood became crowded with people desperate for an outdoor place to congregate. She couldn’t leave her 650-square-foot apartment without worrying about finding a parking spot when she got home. She was isolated working a remote job for a tech company, but still overwhelmed by the sheer...

President Trump’s sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday is sending chills across Europe, where leaders are working to guard against the worst-case scenario: Trump aligning with Russian President Vladimir Putin to force a bad deal on Kyiv.Trump blew past a deadline last week to impose punishing sanctions on Russia and its primary trading partners in exchange for the face-to-face meeting with Putin, set for Friday in Alaska.And while the president has expressed increased frustration with Putin and Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, he this week reverted to criticisms that Zelensky is to blame for stating the war.“[Trump] is...

With the passing last week of the 80th anniversary of the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (on August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (three days later), familiar questions once again arise about our having done so. These include whether it was absolutely necessary in order to bring an end to the war, and whether or not there was any alternative to the two bomb attacks? Addressing the second question first, an alternative option had been discussed. It involved providing the Japanese with a demonstration by dropping an atomic bomb on an uninhabited island. But such a...
