    Utah County officials say the increased attention and public scrutiny of the death penalty case against Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk, contributed to their decision to pay more for Robinson’s defense compared to other capital cases they’re funding. Robinson is accused of shooting Kirk, the controversial Turning Point USA founder, on Sept. 10 while Kirk was speaking in front of thousands at Utah Valley University. Utah County prosecutors charged him with seven counts, including aggravated murder, and he faces a potential death sentence if he’s convicted. A judge has found that Robinson can’t...

    Charlie Kirk furiously criticized 'bullying' Jewish donors and said he was considering 'leaving the pro-Israel cause' before his death, it was confirmed today. The bombshell revelation comes after Candace Owens released a screenshot of Kirk fuming in a group chat that Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots on Tuesday during the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, In the text messages, Kirk privately complained that a Jewish donor had withdrawn a $2 million investment into the organization because he refused to disinvite Carlson...

    Today, Planned Parenthood is closing its Houston, Texas abortion facility that was the biggest abortion center in North America. Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast announced in July that it would close two Houston-area abortion centers, including its 78,000-square-foot Prevention Park facility, once the largest abortion center in the Western Hemisphere. That closing will happen today and hundreds, if not thousands, of pro-life Texans will be on hand to celebrate. The Houston Coalition for Life is hosting two special vigils today. “The events will both honor the lives lost to abortion within the building and celebrate the closure of Planned Parenthood’s Prevention...

    Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on Sunday that it caused her anguish to see that only two white lawmakers voted against the resolution honoring Charlie Kirk on Friday. Every Republican voted in favor of the resolution, but 58 Democrats voted against it, including Crockett and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who both cited their disagreement with his political views. Crockett asserted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Kirk “specifically targeted people of color” with his “rhetoric.” “One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when...

    'We do not believe this person was attempting anything nefarious,' Kolvet said. Nonetheless, Runkles has been charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and carrying a weapon into a prohibited place. At around 12:15pm on Friday, an officer with the Arizona Department of Public Safety encountered Runkles, who claimed he was working with a security detail through Turning Point USA, according to the court document. When asked to identify himself, Runkles allegedly presented a badge with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and an Idaho law enforcement identification card.

    The surgeon who operated on Charlie Kirk said the bullet that killed him miraculously did not exit his neck, likely saving others from getting hit. Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed on Saturday night that he had spoken with the surgeon who made the comments directly to him. In a post on X, Kolvet wrote: 'I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.'....

    There is a deep human impulse to whittle reality down into familiar and self-flattering fairy tales. We all gravitate toward information that validates our preconceptions and vindicates our in-groups. It is cognitively taxing to revise one’s model of the world. And it is emotionally uncomfortable to recognize fault in our allies or merit in our adversaries. So, we are all tempted to sand the jagged edges off events until they fit into ideologically convenient frames. If this impulse is universal, however, liberals (such as myself) like to believe that we are less vulnerable to it. After all, we are the...

    “That is, unfortunately, the cancer known as white supremacy,” said the Texas congresswoman after learning about Kirk’s comments about her and the Democratic Party. A month before his shooting death, conservative activist Charlie Kirk attacked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, blaming her and Democrats for being part of a “sinister” plan to replace white people in America. While discussing the issue of redistricting congressional maps, which played out dramatically in Texas last month, Kirk said on his Aug. 4 podcast show, “The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project.” “That is at the core...

    "I’m still on the phone, and my daughter-in-law told me these were the first words out of my mouth, ‘No, no, no, no, no,'" Turek said. "If your son got hit, what would you do?… I got in the car because if there was any way I could save him, I had to do something." Turek and the security team jumped into the SUV that they used to travel to the event and sped to a hospital while performing CPR and praying. "Charlie's so tall, we can't close the door," he said. "We drove four miles… all the way to...

The 22-year-old is also in the process of transitioning from male to female, the relative confirmed. He was kicked out of his parents' home at the age of 18, according to...

    The man charged with killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk told his transgender lover he had been engraving bullets that authorities later found with left-wing messaging on them, raising questions about possible warning signs for the attack, according to a court document released on Tuesday.

Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray’s office alleges that Robinson left writings such as “hey...

    PROVO, Utah (Reuters) -The trade school student suspected of assassinating right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university was due in court on Tuesday to face formal charges, appearing by video feed from jail for his first public appearance since the shooting. The killing, captured in graphic video clips that went viral on the internet, sparked denunciations of political violence across the ideological spectrum but also unleashed a wave of partisan blame-casting and concerns that Kirk's murder might beget more bloodshed. Authorities have offered no possible motive for the killing, though Kirk's wife and other supporters were quick to...
