My general sense of the Tyler Robinson defense team at this point is that they are doing everything they can think of to keep their client alive. Part of that has involved making absurd claims to the court in an effort to drag out this process as long as possible. The defense spent months arguing that the entire defense team needed to recuse itself because the daughter of one of the attorneys happened to be present in the crowd when Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. Last month judge Tony Graf finally said no to this dubious request.Robinson’s attorneys urged...

FBI Director Kash Patel shut down numerous accusations that have been made by podcast host Candace Owens involving the murder of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. During his appearance on Friday on the Sirius XM The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, Kelly started out by asking Patel if they believe they have the "proper suspect in custody" — if Tyler Robinson is "in fact, the man who killed Kirk." Patel didn't hesitate in the slightest and answered, "Yes." The host then brought up one of the wild accusations that have been made by Owens, which includes claiming...

The 22-year-old accused of murdering Charlie Kirk came from a stable family in a thriving town. But that wasn’t enough… That is the lesson of Tyler Robinson. And lurking behind that lesson: the fear that every teenager in America is a would-be Tyler Robinson, always vulnerable to the forces of death and nihilism. “How had he lost so much of his soul?” Utah governor Spencer Cox asked me about Robinson. We were in his office at the state Capitol. He didn’t know what to make of the “meme culture” that Robinson had been a part of, and the flood of...

I don't spend a tremendous amount of time on social media or listening to people's podcasts, but I have noticed over the past few weeks that there are now people who seem pretty convinced that the "official story" about what happened to Charlie Kirk is some kind of artificial narrative designed to conceal a much darker truth. The darker truth, according to people like Candace Owens, is that Kirk was assassinated by some combination of US government and foreign entities for reasons that aren't entirely clear but which may have to do with his feelings about something related to foreign...

Don't you think if 2 violent assassins were into http://GlennBeck.com subculture, the media and the FBI would be all over that?!(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.)

And one of the biggest ones was on DeviantArt, ground zero for the furry community. Usernames like EpicMicrowave and TheEpicMicrowave. This kid was not casually browsing, he was deep in that subculture, we find...

A higher power will hand down judgment for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika Kirk believes, and she doesn’t want a role in deciding whether he should receive the death penalty if he is convicted. “I do not want this man’s blood on my ledger when I stand before the Lord,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters in an interview aired Wednesday evening. “I want the government to decide. It’s Biblical too. Justice will ultimately be served.”

What this family confronted deserves to be noticed, praised, and modeled. Our country was given clarity in real time. harlie Kirk’s murderer came from somewhere. We all do. Since the “In the beginning …” times, our species has wrestled with the fundamental logic – and perceived unfairness – of holding parents responsible for the sins of their children. Or the other way around. In the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, the prophet makes this explicit: The person who sins will die. A son will not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for...

In criminal prosecution, like construction, the smallest crack in the foundation can bring down the entire structure. The case against Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk, appears solid from the outside – confession texts, a recovered weapon, witnesses by the thousands. But beneath this seemingly ironclad exterior, a troubling vulnerability has emerged that should concern every American who values justice.

A single bullet to the neck silenced one of conservatism’s most influential young...

Right-wing commentator Cadance Owens dropped her bombshell after teasing over the weekend that she got information that Tyler Robinson was framed in the case of Charlie Kirk's assassination. She said that everything the agencies told about the Charlie Kirk assassination has been a lie. She said a politician's name came up as she dug deeper into the case. Candace said she knows everything is a lie because law enforcement is even lying that Tyler Robinson, the accused, is suicidal. Candace questioned how Tyler Robinson was willing to turn himself in but did not confess. He was 'bewildered' to have known...

Sinclair has agreed to stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, allowing the show to resume airing on its ABC affiliates.
