The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

This is a spin-off page from a larger one called, Which party promotes hate speech and violence?  The specific subtopic here is the murder of Charlie Kirk while he was speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.  Normal middle-of-the-road Americans are put off by the hateful celebrations of this homicide, and the political ramifications are yet to be fully realized.

Be Careful of the Cornered Democrat Rat.  We all know that when you corner an animal, it will fight tooth and nail for its survival.  This means that even supposedly meek creatures will defend themselves with a surprising level of frenzy and violence.  The choice for any cornered creature facing death is to go out with an all-out snarl.  This is where the Democrat party movement finds itself.  Snubbed at the polls, cut off from sub rosa USAID sustenance, humiliated time and again by the ever adroit Donald Trump, and hemorrhaging its plantation BIPOCs, the party has resorted to obscenities, outright antisemitism, and the defense of criminals everywhere (including drug-runners on the Caribbean Sea) as its tonic for combating The Donald.  Our commonsense hope that the Democrats would finally wake up and realize how much their foaming-at-the-mouth hatred, projection, trans adoration, scenery-chewing (Hakeem Jeffries), and irrationality (Stephen King) is costing them has been dashed.  Charlie Kirk's murder did that.

How did we get here?  By submitting to the intimidation of the left.  In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the internet is flooded with shock, grief, and horror at what has happened.  It was also horrified at the thousands of leftists' delight and celebration, congratulating the assassin.  Far too many of those who have been thanking the shooter, for reasons that are impossible to discern, seem to think they are the mainstream, that a majority of Americans agree with their ghoulish praise of this murderer.  How is it possible that these thousands, maybe millions of Americans, many of them teachers, professors, nurses, doctors, and of course, indoctrinated students, think that murdering a person with whom they disagree is not only acceptable, but something to be glorified?  How did we get here?

There Can Be No Peace Or Unity With A Violent, Unrepentant Left.  In the days since Charlie Kirk's assassination by a radical Antifa terrorist, a refrain has arisen in the corporate press and the political establishment that we must come together, lower the temperature, tone down the rhetoric, and condemn political violence on both sides.  In order to have peace, they say, we have to have unity.  But there can be no peace or unity without first telling the truth, and the truth is that both-sidesism, the polite fiction that the American left and right have a problem with political violence, is a damnable lie — and everyone peddling it is a moral coward.  [Advertisement]  Case in point is David French, the man willing to say anything for a paycheck and a column at The New York Times.  Over the weekend, French published a piece, "There Are Monsters in Your Midst, Too," arguing that America has a problem with political violence on both the right and the left.  To call out the left for Kirk's assassination, or argue that the left is inherently more violent than the right, says French, is nothing more than confirmation bias.

Charlie Kirk and the apocalyptic narcissism of trans.  It is the blackest irony, like a sick joke by the universe, that Charlie Kirk was gunned down as he discussed gun violence.  That word — 'violence' — was the last he ever uttered.  Milliseconds later, violence of the gravest kind was visited on him.  Actually, we need to be more specific:  Kirk was discussing trans violence in the seconds before his death.  He was pushing back against one of his student interlocutors who seemed to downplay the phenomenon of trans mass shootings.  The student badgered Kirk to say how many such shootings there have been. 'Too many', Kirk replied.  Seconds later, his carotid artery was severed and he was dead.  I'm not suggesting Kirk was executed for daring to talk about trans violence.  The gunman will not have been able to hear what Kirk was saying — he was on a rooftop 200 yards away. [...] The thing is, he was right:  there are too many trans shootings.  There has been a violent turn in the trans ideology.  The trans sect does seem ever-more consumed by a brutish animus for anyone who dissents from its post-truth orthodoxies; for those [...] who dare to withhold their validation from men who claim to be women or youths who claim to be non-binary.

Antifa Is Responsible For Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  On Sept. 10, conservative political icon Charlie Kirk was assassinated by Antifa, and there is currently a massive corporate media information operation struggling with all its might to prevent you from drawing that conclusion.  Even before the 22-year-old alleged assassin was arrested, the contours of the shooter's motives were being fiercely debated when Steven Crowder published what he reported to be an ATF document, which noted, "The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine.  All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology."  [Advertisement]  The spin machine went immediately to work, with CNN labelling the engravings as a "range of phrases related to cultural issues."  It was later revealed that the phrases included, "Hey Fascist!  Catch!"  and, "O Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao," lyrics from a popular Italian anti-fascist song. (While some have attempted to obfuscate the song's origins, as of this writing, the extensive Wikipedia writeup of the song's history is contained under the website's "Anti-fascism" category.) Andy Ngo, who has long tracked Antifa, noted that the phrase "Bella Ciao" was included in the manifesto of Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club member Willem van Spronsen before his attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington, in 2019.  "Hey Fascist!  Catch!" — plus a series of arrows — is apparently associated with the video game Helldivers, which includes a satirical fascist world government.  The song may also appear in the video game.

When Racists Write Charlie Kirk's Obituary.  Because leftists have largely controlled the print and broadcast news institutions in the United States for the last century, they have long exercised a kind of monopoly in rendering public judgment on the recently departed.  In obituaries and news stories, leftists tell us who lived good or bad lives.  It is no surprise that the lives of leftist fellow travelers are often assiduously scrubbed and polished so that the public might be persuaded to grieve their passing, whereas the lives of non-leftists are banged up and tarnished so as to dissuade the public from following in their footsteps.  In this way, Islamic terrorists are described as "austere religious scholars."  Weather Underground bombers and cop-killers are transformed into civil rights heroes.  Serial adulterers and misogynists are extolled as "defenders of abortion rights."  Yet prominent conservatives and libertarians are routinely memorialized as "controversial," "divisive," "hateful," "racist," or "dangerous."  This ignoble tradition has continued following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  In news stories that frame Charlie's opinions and speeches as the proximate cause of his murder, America's pre-eminent news publications scarcely disguise their intended message:  He had it coming.

'Lower the Temperature!' Cries the Mob Lighting Molotov Cocktails.  Free speech defenders frequently quote Voltaire:  "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."  The Left has turned this inside out.  "If I disapprove of what you say, I'm justified in killing you."  Embarrassed Democrats, caught with no way to blame the assassination on MAGA, are frantically releasing statements deploring "political violence on both sides."  But the violence isn't on both sides.  If it were, dozens of cities would be in flames right now, and Republican mobs would be occupying campuses, screaming for justice.  But no police departments are on alert, no shop owners are boarding up windows.  Days of Rage?  Only Democrats do that.

Timely news and commentary:

Tyler Robinson — the trans-allied assassin.  [H]ere's the latest the Charlie Kirk assassin, Tyler Robinson, his transgender boyfriend, and apparent knowledge of the impending assassination by a handful of their transgender friends.  For starters, Robinson isn't cooperating with authorities.  The cooperation is apparently coming from Robinson's transgender boyfriend/partner:  Lance Twiggs (he also goes by Luna).  Twiggs was allegedly raised in a Christian home but rejected the faith and his family, chose radical gender ideology (leftism), and had an account on a sexual anime furry website.  And of course, he was a Biden supporter.  He "developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives", becoming "progressively worse the last year or two" and having issues with anger.

Powerful public figures spread false info about Charlie Kirk assassination, beliefs, invent quotes.  Public employees across the U.S. are facing sanctions including firing for social media comments that celebrate or condone the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes selectively paraphrasing his comments on the Second Amendment's tradeoffs as Kirk's admission that he could be hoisted by his own petard.  High-profile public figures and institutions from New York to Washington and Dallas to Hollywood have gone beyond cherrypicking Kirk's words since his death, however, attributing others' words to him, fabricating or editing quotes and making assertions about his alleged killer and political movement that are lacking or contradicted by hard evidence.  Some have walked back their claims when confronted or sought to clarify what they meant, while others made fresh dubious remarks in correcting themselves.  American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, who was given unusual power to shape COVID-19 school reopening plans in the early Biden administration, deleted her repost of a comment that called suspect Tyler Robinson a "right winger who didn't want Charlie Kirk to speak" and "did what right wingers do and shot him."

Accused Charlie Kirk Shooter Texted Trans Lover: 'I Had Enough of His Hatred'.  Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk during an event in Utah last week, sent text messages to his transgender-identifying lover after the shooting explaining that he had "had enough of" Kirk's "hatred."  [Advertisement]  Prosecutors released the text messages in a court filing on Tuesday, shortly before Robinson's expected arraignment on charges of aggravated murder and weapon and obstruction offenses.  If Robinson is convicted on the aggravated murder charge, prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.  During a press conference announcing the charges, Utah County District Attorney Jeffrey Gray read off a series of text messages that Robinson sent his transgender romantic partner immediately after the shooting.  In the messages, he told his partner, who the New York Post identified as Lance Twiggs, to read a note he had left under his keyboard in which he admitted to the assassination.  "I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I'm going to take it," the note read.  [Advertisement]  Robinson explained to Twiggs that he felt compelled to kill Kirk to stop the conservative activist from spreading "hate."

The heart of leftism is in academia.  The most stunning online development since the assassination of Charley Kirk has been the revelation of a vast multitude of leftist insects crawling out of the woodwork to publicly celebrate the murder.  Elon Musk says more violence is coming.  Michael Savage says we are already in a one-sided civil war.  Are Musk and Savage correct?  Maybe, maybe not, but either way, it is time for a non-violent strategic move against the left.  What should be the initial target?  Victor Davis Hanson says, "America's descent into violence and moral chaos — from Kirk's assassination to suppressed crime truths — traces back to the toxic ideologies nurtured in universities."  With that in mind, one suggestion for the initial target to fight against leftist ideology would be that vast, simmering cesspool that brews leftist zombies: the education complex, aka "Big-Ed."

Charlie Kirk Assassination:  How big was the conspiracy?  Given the demonic leftist cheering we have seen in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it shouldn't surprise anyone that more than one person may have been involved in this heinous crime.  That's why it's heartening to see that the FBI and other law enforcers are treating this case like a conspiracy.  The evidence seems to be all over, and it is still coming out of the woodwork.  [Numerous tweets]

Here Are The Five NFL Teams That Didn't Honor Charlie Kirk.  Hopefully, you're [sic] favorite NFL team is not on this list.  Several NFL teams are being called out after refusing to honor the late Charlie Kirk.  They are the following:
  •   Minnesota Vikings
  •   Cincinnati Bengals
  •   Detroit Lions
  •   Indianapolis Colts
  •   Baltimore Ravens

Manhunt for Kirk's killer was Kash Patel's greatest test.  There's some debate over whether he passed.  There was a strong sense among critics and allies alike that the manhunt for Charlie Kirk's assassin was a major test for FBI Director Kash Patel.  Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News on Thursday that the "assassination of Charlie Kirk is the defining moment for Patel and the FBI."  While the suspected assassin, a leftist Utah State University dropout named Tyler Robinson, has been arrested, some have nevertheless questioned whether the FBI director made the grade.  Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo, for instance, noted, "I'm grateful that Utah authorities have captured the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination, and think it is time for Republicans to assess whether Kash Patel is the right man to run the FBI."  "He performed terribly in the last few days, and it's not clear whether he has the operational expertise to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements — of whatever ideology — that threaten the peace in the United States," added Rufo.

This Activist Has Collected Over 51,000 Tips on Leftists Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  Ryan Fournier, the National Chairman of Students for Trump, is leading a growing online campaign to expose and hold accountable people who celebrated or mocked the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.  His efforts, driven primarily through his X (formerly Twitter) account with 1.2 million followers, have already resulted in over 76 people losing their jobs.  Fournier says he has received over 51,000 tips and generated over 300 million views across his platforms.  "For years, the left tried to destroy people for simply having conservative values," Fournier said.  "They ruined careers, families, livelihoods.  But now, we are fighting back."  Among those fired is Apple employee Cody Ikerd.  An Old Navy worker who identified with "she/they/enby/transfem" pronouns was also terminated after posting "Rest in piss, scum."  Other cases include a fitness instructor in Scottsdale, Arizona, and a school educator in Arkansas who also faced consequences for their online remarks.

Secret Service Agent Who Said Charlie Kirk Deserved to be Assassinated [will soon] Be Fired.  The Secret Service Agent who said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated will be fired soon.  TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was brutally murdered in broad daylight last Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University.  The assassin, Tyler Robinson, climbed up onto a roof and shot Charlie Kirk from an elevated position.  Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood.

FBI's Dan Bongino Won't Rule Out Wider Conspiracy in Charlie Kirk Assassination: 'We're Looking Into Everything'.  FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is refusing to rule out the possibility that there was a wider conspiracy to assassinate Charlie Kirk that went beyond Tyler Robinson, the man alleged to have murdered Kirk last Wednesday.  Bongino's comments came during a Monday morning interview on Fox News' America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer that began with Hemmer asking if "anyone" in the crowd assembled at Utah Valley University assisted Robinson.  "Well, that's what we're looking into now, Bill.  Obviously we have a suspect in custody, it's quite clear, that's why I'm here discussing this individual.  However, if this was a larger effort, there was any aiding and abetting, whether it be financial, whether it be someone who knew the specifics of it and failed to report that.  As you heard the director say this morning, we as an FBI, our team, along with our state and local partners are looking into that," answered Bongino before continuing: [...]

Pam Bondi:  DOJ has eyes on company that turned away customers over Kirk poster.  Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday on Fox News' "Hannity" that the Department of Justice is looking into Office Depot after a Michigan employee allegedly refused to print a poster for a vigil honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.  Since Kirk's assassination on Wednesday, hundreds of leftists, including educators, have been fired after publicly posting celebratory responses to his murder.  Fox News' Sean Hannity called the reactions "incomprehensible" and asked Bondi if there was a "legal issue" from her perspective as attorney general.  "Well, sure, we all believe in the First Amendment, and these people speak horrible, horrible things.  I think yesterday or today, Sean, a school board member right here in Virginia had to resign because she said horrible things about Charlie Kirk and that he deserved to die," Bondi said.  "That's horrific.  It's free speech, but you shouldn't be employed anywhere if you're going to say that.  And employers, you have an obligation to get rid of people."

Man who pretended to be Charlie Kirk's shooter charged with child porn possession, because of course.  This story just took an interesting turn:  [Tweet]  This guy, 71-year-old George Zinn, admitted to causing a distraction and pretending to be the Charlie Kirk assassin immediately following the shooting.  This led police to waste their time with him as the actual shooter got away.  He's now being charged with obstruction of justice.

Guy Who Faked Being Charlie Kirk Shooter Charged with Child Pornography.  George Zinn is the guy who was in the crowd during the Charlie Kirk murder and who initially told people he did it.  In the frenzy and chaos, he was held down by security and arrested by local police.  Zinn intentionally misled the police into thinking he shot Charlie Kirk, as he admitted to role-playing in an attempt to give the real shooter time to escape.  He was arrested that night and remains in custody for his action.

Chat between accused assassin and trans lover show leftwing ideology drove him to kill Charlie Kirk.  On Tuesday, Utah County District Attorney Jeffrey Gray released private chats between the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, and Robinson's transgender (male) lover, Lance Twiggs.  [Excerpts, tweets, links]  Despite this, a majority of Democrats think that Robinson is right-wing.  [Tweet]

Charlie Kirk suspect texted roommate confessing to the killing:  Court docs.  Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, left a note that he had "the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it," according to court documents filed Tuesday.  Robinson's roommate, a 22-year-old he was in a romantic relationship with, spoke with police and provided text messages between the two.  The roommate said Sept. 10, he received a text message from Robinson, "drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard," according to a 10-page indictment.

Nancy Mace calls on Congress to strip Ilhan Omar of her committees over outrageous insult to Charlie Kirk.  Outrage over comments about Charlie Kirk in a video shared by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota may lead to her being stripped of her congressional committee assignments.  The video criticized the conservative response to Kirk's death and blamed the rhetoric on the right for creating the circumstances that led to his assassination.  Omar reposted the video from her account on the X social media platform, according to screenshots captured online.  "Kirk was a reprehensible human being ... a stochastic terrorist," said the commentator on the video.  "With his last dying words, he was spewing racist dog whistles.  Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein, and his monster shot him through the neck."  In response, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said she would file a motion to punish Omar.

Explosive alleged text messages between suspected Kirk killer and his transgender roommate obliterate liberal narrative.  A new release from law enforcement officials very much points to a political motivation for the killing of Charlie Kirk.  Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said that accused murderer Tyler Robinson, 22, texted his transgender roommate and told him to drop everything to look at a note he had left under his keyboard.  "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it," the note read, according to charging documents.

ABC News Reporter Says With Straight Face Texts Between Kirk's Alleged Assassin, Trans Boyfriend Were 'Touching'.  ABC News reporter Matt Gutman said on Tuesday that the text messages between Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin and his transgender boyfriend were "touching."  Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray announced the charges against the assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and outlined several pieces of crucial evidence against the suspect, including his text messages with his trans-identifying boyfriend, Lance Twiggs.  Following the announcement, Gutman appeared to be deeply touched by the text messages that showed Robinson telling Twiggs that he wanted to protect him.  "I don't think I've ever experienced a press conference which we've read text messages that are a) so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating and yet on the other hand so touching," Gutman said.

First Suspect in Charlie Kirk Assassination Tells Police Why He Falsely Confessed, Gets Hit With CHILD PORN Charges.  Police have revealed that George Zinn, the 71-year-old who falsely confessed to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University immediately after his shooting, has admitted he was attempting to create a distraction for the real gunman, believed to be Tyler Robinson, 22. Zinn has also been charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, after investigators found child pornography on his phone.  According to court documents, Zinn approached officers after the shooting and yelled, "I shot him, now shoot me."  He was taken into custody, where he continued to insist he was the shooter.  However, investigators determined his confession was fabricated, and Zinn later acknowledged he wanted to be a "martyr."  Once at the police station, Zinn requested a lawyer and admitted he expected to face consequences for his false statements.  "I am already going to be in trouble for saying I shot him.  Even if I did not," he reportedly told officers.

Man Who Gave the Real Shooter Time to Escape Is Charged.  A 71-year-old audience member George Zinn, present when Charlie Kirk was shot dead, shouted at a police officer, "I shot him, now shoot me", in a bid to give the real shooter more time to escape, police have said.  Zinn was taken to the police station and, once there, allegedly explained that he did what he did "to draw attention from the real shooter."  So, he "was booked into the Utah County Jail on a charge of Obstruction of Justice, a second degree felony."  New police documents obtained by news outlet Fox13 allege that the man, named as George Zinn, drew police focus in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's shooting, which led to him being charged with obstruction of justice.  However, he is a nut who lies continually.  Maybe he lied about that too.  He also had child porn on him.

5 NFL teams chose not to honor Charlie Kirk with a moment of silence (yet honored George Floyd in 2020).  Frankly, I'm actually surprised any NFL team honored Charlie Kirk at all.  But I guess they were forced too [sic] after the boycott over kneeling during the anthem began.  But there were five teams that didn't take time to honor Kirk, and all five of these teams honored Fentanyl Floyd on 2020.  The teams that couldn't bother to honor Charlie Kirk included the Detroit Lions (perineal [sic] losers), Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and of course Tampon Tim's Minnesota Vikings.  [Tweet]

Houston Texans hold moment of silence — but don't say Charlie Kirk's name.  The Houston Texans gave a peculiar reason for why they chose not to honor Charlie Kirk before their "Monday Night Football" game.  Kirk was shot and killed on September 10 during a campus tour stop in Utah.  The assassination sparked vigils and memorials across the world, and most NFL teams chose to honor Kirk over the weekend, with only five teams declining to do so.  Before losing 20-19 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, the Texans announced a message over the public address system at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.  At about 6:40 p.m., according to OutKick's Armando Salguero, the stadium paused for 10 seconds to honor victims of violence and destruction generically.  "Ladies and gentlemen, we are asking all families to join us in a moment of silence to honor all the victims of violence and natural disasters across the country," the statement said, which was broadcast on ESPN.  "It's our hope that together, we condemn all forms of violence.  Thank you."

Man Who Claimed to Have Shot Charlie Kirk Hit with Multiple Child Sexual Exploitation Charges.  The man who was taken into custody at Utah Valley University last week after falsely claiming that he had shot Charlie Kirk has now been charged with possessing graphic sexual photos of children as well as felony obstruction of justice.  The Utah Valley Sheriff's Office said in a Tuesday news release that shortly after Kirk's assassination, George Zinn, 71, approached officers, saying he was the shooter.  UVU police took him into custody and took him to the police office on campus.  While there, he complained of chest pains and was transported to a local hospital, where he confessed he had not shot Kirk, but was trying to create a distraction to give the real assassin time to flee.

The Left Is Evil.  The conflict goes deeper than politics.  They didn't kill Charlie Kirk for his views on tax policy.  They killed him because he was good.  These people advocate killing viable 9-month babies in the name of patently moronic bumper sticker slogans.  They endorse surgically mutilating children's genitals so as to consign them to lives of sexual perversion.  Among Democrats, these are not fringe positions.  Why should anyone be surprised that they celebrate the murder of a decent man for opposing them?  Charlie Kirk stood out as a champion for good.  Where Democrats have deployed their army of mentally ill freaks, the nail that stands out gets hammered down.  They kill on behalf of evil.

Soon to be unemployed Jasmine Crockett whines about those getting fired for their disgusting celebration of the Charlie Kirk assassination.  Poor little ghetto rat Jasmine Crockett.  She's going to lose her seat next year in the mid-term elections after Texas redrew their congressional maps, and now she's triggered that communist scum all over the country are getting fired for their disgusting celebration of an assassination.  Check out Jasmine Crockett whining on Twitter:  [Tweet]

Charlie Kirk Assassin Charged, Confirmed to Have Been Left-Wing, Focused on 'Trans Rights.'  Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray has formally charged Tyler Robinson with the murder of Charlie Kirk.  The charges include aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.  Gray also confirmed that Robinson was in a relationship with a male-to-female transgender named Lance Twiggs, and had been becoming increasingly left-leaning and focused on gay and trans rights, according to his relatives.  In messages between Robinson and his roommate lover, he explained he murdered Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, because he had "had enough of his hatred," adding:  "Some hate can't be negotiated out."  "Charlie Kirk was murdered while engaging in one of our most sacred and cherished American rights, the bedrock of our democratic republic, the free exchange of ideas and the search for truth, understanding, and a more perfect union," Gray said.

George Zinn, elderly rabble-rouser who falsely claimed he shot Charlie Kirk, is hit with child porn charges.  The elderly rabble-rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities' response after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot is now accused of keeping "graphic" sexual photos of children on his phone, according to law enforcement.  George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Monday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old, at least partially naked and "posing" in a "sexual" way, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Tuesday.  "Zinn admitted ... that he gets sexual gratification from viewing and sharing [child sexual abuse material] images with others, and that his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old," the agency alleged.

DA Reveals Mother's Remarks About Tyler Robinson's Politics, Texts With Boyfriend.  As we reported, charges were filed against Tyler Robinson, the man accused in the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.  Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced that Robinson faced seven counts, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.  He also noted his intent to seek the death penalty in this case.  He laid out aggravating factors, saying that it was done because of Kirk's "political expression" and knowing that children would be present.  [Advertisement]  Gray explained that yes, the mother had said that Robinson had become more left over the past year, "becoming more gay and trans rights-oriented," and had started dating his roommate, who was a biological male who was "transitioning."  [Tweet]

Should the Ghouls Publicly Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Assassination Lose Their Jobs?  In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a violently deranged and hate-filled leftist (yes, that is a confirmed fact), some on the hard Left have been publicly expressing justifications for, and even celebrations of, the murder.  These ghouls do not represent America, nor do they represent America's center-left coalition writ large.  Many politicians, public figures and private citizens on the 'progressive' end of the spectrum have prominently and unequivocally denounced the killing.  This must be acknowledged and embraced with gratitude by all people of good will.  The forces of decency must stand together against the cancer of political violence and twisted vigilantism.  What must also be said is that there is a toxic and not-insignificant strain of leftism that indulges, excuses, and cheers on this evil.  We saw it after the cold-blooded murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.  We've seen it repeatedly from the pro-Hamas hate mob for nearly two straight years.  And we're seeing it again in the wake of Kirk's violent demise.  Applauding murder is vile and should have no place in a civilized, free society.  This should not be controversial.

Political Violence Poll Just Nuked This CNN Host's Talking Point on Trump's Remarks About Charlie Kirk.  Some top Trump officials have made some not-so-helpful remarks about free speech and hate speech, namely from Attorney General Pam Bondi.  I don't think the government should be the point of the lance in targeting people who say insane things.  We, as citizens, do a fine job exposing those creeps — there have been hordes of professionals fired or placed on leave for gross posts celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  We'll revisit that later, but, of course, CNN was aghast at this, with host Abby Phillip trying to spin this as a move to punish the Left and President Trump's political rivals.  That's such a juvenile, knee-jerk take.  [Advertisement]  Again, there are some troubling aspects to this, but we can no longer say that it's 'just people talking' anymore.  Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.  Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10.  The Left is violent.  They are killing, and there's polling that exposes this cancer.  [Video clip]

GOP erupts on Dem running for attorney general in red state over profanity-laced Charlie Kirk post.  A Democrat running to be the top law enforcement official in the state of Ohio is facing backlash for a series of social media posts disparaging Charlie Kirk in the days after the conservative activist was assassinated. [...] Forhan's social media posts have prompted significant pushback, both on the internet and from Republicans in the state, with many calling on him to withdraw from the race.  "No public servant should say that about any human being, much less somebody who was just assassinated," Ohio's current attorney general, Republican Dave Yost, told Fox News Digital.  "He just proved himself to be a petulant and undisciplined child, ill-suited to public office."

Pentagon calls Charlie Kirk posts 'domestic terrorism'; Dem warns discipline is 'un-American'.  The Pentagon is not backing down from its quest for consequences for those who celebrate Charlie Kirk's killing, even as Democrats warn the move is "un-American" and violates free speech protections.  The controversy underscores a clash between military discipline and First Amendment rights, with top Pentagon officials arguing that celebrating the killing of an American political figure is unacceptable conduct for service members — while Democrats counter that the crackdown risks punishing constitutionally protected speech.  "Hunting down and prosecuting service members for their individual political beliefs is dangerous and un-American," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger, wrote on X.

Spanberger Refuses To Renounce Endorsement From School Board Chair Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger won't say whether she'll renounce an endorsement from a local school board member who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination.  On Sunday, Chesterfield County School Board Chair Dot Heffron announced plans to resign after issuing a despicable social media post touting Kirk's murder.  On Instagram, the commonwealth official wrote, "Call me old fashioned, but I remember when we used to be okay with shooting Nazis."  [Advertisement]  Heffron released a statement when disclosing her intent to step down, in which she said, "The words I shared were wrong," and "I should have shown better judgment."  According to an NPR-PBS affiliate, "Less than an hour after Heffron released her statement, the [Chesterfield school] board — whose four other members released a joint statement after the initial post, calling for Heffron to step down — announced it was accepting her resignation and would appoint an interim board member."  "Heffron offered her resignation effective Dec. 31, but the board said it would appoint an interim board member until a special election can be held to finish out her term, which runs through 2027," the report reads.  Heffron previously endorsed Spanberger for governor in December 2023.

TV anchor Beni Rae Harmony resigns after being suspended for airing 'non-partisan tribute' to Charlie Kirk.  An Illinois TV anchor has resigned from a local ABC-affiliated station after she said she was suspended for airing a tearjerking "non-partisan tribute" to her mentor, Charlie Kirk, following his assassination.  Beni Rae Harmony announced she was leaving WICS-ABC20 Springfield on Monday after she allegedly faced retaliation from the station for airing the emotional 1-minute and 17-second tribute on Friday.  "Many in the mainstream media have been fired or punished for mocking his assassination," Harmony wrote on X.  [Tweet with video clip]

Texas Isn't Just Firing Pro-Assassination Teachers, It's Making Sure They Won't Work Again — Over 100 Hit So Far.  Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed on social media Monday that more than 100 teachers in his state are being removed from the classroom.  These educators will lose their jobs, their teaching certificates, and the ability to ever lead students astray in Texas again.  Their offense?  Glorifying or celebrating the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.  [Advertisement]  Abbott responded to a post on X that claimed Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath was investigating teachers.  Morath made clear where the state stands.  [Advertisement]  "While all educators are held to a high standard of professionalism, there is a difference between comments made in poor taste and those that call for and incite further violence — the latter of which is clearly unacceptable," Morath said.  He added:  "TEA's Educator Investigations Division has already begun its review, and I will be recommending to the State Board for Educator Certification that such individuals have their certification suspended and be rendered ineligible to teach in a Texas public school."  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]

Free Speech Does Not Protect Teachers Glorifying Political Violence.  The assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University has ignited a moral and legal crisis that schools cannot ignore.  The question before us is not whether teachers enjoy freedom of speech.  They do.  The question is whether that freedom extends to celebrating political violence, particularly violence that took place in a school setting.  The answer, grounded in law, ethics, and common sense, is no.  Schools not only may, but must, act decisively to discipline or fire educators who glorify Kirk's killing.  [Video clip]  The law here is clear.  In Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006), the Supreme Court held that speech by public employees made pursuant to their official duties is not protected by the First Amendment.  Teachers, as government employees, are subject to this standard.  What about speech made outside of official duties?  Courts apply the Pickering test, first articulated in Pickering v.  Board of Education (1968), which requires balancing a teacher's right to comment on matters of public concern against the school's interest in maintaining order, trust, and effectiveness.  In cases where a teacher's public remarks cause serious disruption or undermine their fitness to teach, schools win.  That is precisely the situation with teachers who praise or justify Kirk's assassination.

Teacher Union Chief Randi Weingarten Holding Virtual Book Event on 'Teachers Against Fascists'.  Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), has proven time and time again that she has no talent for reading the room.  Today, just five days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Weingarten is holding a virtual event to promote her book about teachers fighting fascism.  It's beyond poor taste to do this, considering this is just the sort of rhetoric that led to Kirk's murder.

FBI Investigating Pro-Trans Organizations and Online Accounts For Ties to Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  The FBI has reportedly widened its investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to include radical leftist groups in Utah to determine whether they helped the suspect or had foreknowledge of his plan.  Several transgender social media accounts made self-incriminating comments before and after suspect Tyler Robinson murdered Kirk at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10. The ammunition inside the rifle used to shoot Kirk was engraved with cryptic messages of transgender and antifascist ideology.  Robinson was arrested on Friday in connection with the murder after his father persuaded him to turn himself in.  The 22-year-old is reportedly not cooperating with investigators.  "He has not confessed to authorities.  He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating.  And I think that's very important," Utah Governor Spencer Cox said on ABC's "This Week," Sunday.  According to the New York Post, the probe includes groups within the online gaming community Steam, as well as an organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram right after Kirk was killed.

Lance Twiggs Identified as Key Figure in Charlie Kirk Case.  Lance Twiggs has become one of the most talked-about names in Utah after being revealed as a key figure in the investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk.  Within days of the tragic shooting at Utah Valley University, investigators confirmed that Twiggs played an important role by cooperating with authorities and handing over crucial digital evidence.  His involvement has shifted public focus from the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, to the people in Robinson's inner circle and how they may have contributed to the unfolding of events.

First man arrested in Kirk assassination tried to help shooter escape, authorities say.  The man who was arrested at the scene shortly following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk tried to help the suspected shooter escape by faking a confession, authorities announced Tuesday.  Shortly after Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University, George Zinn, 71, yelled that he shot the conservative activist, according to the Utah County Sheriff's Office.  [Advertisement]  Zinn was then taken into custody by Utah Valley University Police, but was not cooperative with authorities and did not want to talk to investigators.  He was eventually released.  "Zinn began to have a medical issue and was transported to a local hospital," Utah County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Tuesday.  "While at the Hospital Zinn did freely state that he was not the shooter but yelled he was to hinder Law Enforcement's response."

Before A Left-Wing Assassin Murdered Charlie Kirk, Chris Wray's FBI Tried To Destroy Turning Point USA.  Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA was on a short list of Republican groups targeted by President Joe Biden's FBI under the direction of then-Director Christopher Wray.  Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, dropped that bombshell Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee regular hearing on the oversight of the FBI, along with a revolting new document.  [Advertisement]  "It's well-understood that your predecessor left you an FBI infected with politics," Grassley said in his opening statement, speaking to current FBI Director Kash Patel.  As proof, Grassley shared recently released records listing 92 targets the FBI was investigating or intending to investigate in the large-scale, multi-year political weaponization operation named Arctic Frost, a joint investigation using resources from the FBI, Department of Justice, and Office of Inspector General.  This bogus witch hunt involved more than 150 interviews, over 400 subpoenas (largely for bank records), hundreds of witnesses, and search warrants for cell phones of high level government officials, electronic devices, iCloud access, and email accounts.  "Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent [Timothy] Thibault.  Arctic Frost became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump," Grassley said.

Charlie Kirk Shooter Confessed to Murder in Discord Chat Group.  There is a great deal of psychological darkness in the background of the Charlie Kirk murder.  I strongly urge readers to stay grounded to faith as you engage in review of any aspect of this story.  The war between good and evil is taking place in the battle for minds.  Originally reported by the Washington Post, apparently Charlie Kirk's assassin, Tyler Robinson, confessed in a chat room just a few hours before he turned himself in.

Nashville Public Defender Esperanza Yanez Calls Charlie Kirk 'Fascist Organizer' Unworthy of Empathy.  Esperanza Yanez, an attorney employed by the Nashville Public Defender's Office, published at least four posts to social media claiming her lack of "empathy" for the assassination of Charlie Kirk was justified by claiming the Turning Point USA founder was a "fascist organizer."  Yanez first publicly commented on Kirk's assassination on Wednesday afternoon, only hours after he was killed, when she claimed that Kirk, "said he loved the genocide occurring in Palestine and wanted to see more of it," before adding an emoji depicting a woman shrugging.  Hours later, Yanez wrote in another post, "demanding empathy for a hateful person like this is insane," and derided others for praying for the victims of other tragedies, including, "black and brown people killed by police brutality, and CIVILIANS taken out by isnotreal's military force."

FBI Investigating Pro-Trans Organizations and Online Accounts For Ties to Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  The FBI has reportedly widened its investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to include radical leftist groups in Utah to determine whether they helped the suspect or had foreknowledge of his plan.  Several transgender social media accounts made self-incriminating comments before and after suspect Tyler Robinson murdered Kirk at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10.

FBI probing possible 'extended network' that 'aided and abetted' suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson.  The FBI's No. 2 man said Monday he suspects Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, could have been "aided and abetted" by an "extended network" — alluding to "multiple warning signs" he gave leading up to the assassination.  As The [New York] Post reported Sunday, law enforcement was already probing whether pro-trans online groups, sexualized animal-obsessed "furries" and others connected with Robinson had advance knowledge of his alleged murderous plans.  The groups include communities on the online gaming platform Steam, as well as Armed Queers SLC, which took down its Instagram page after Kirk was murdered.  But now, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino suggested that the feds are casting an even wider net — scrutinizing whether anyone in the crowd, including possibly the TikTokker who was asking Kirk a question at the moment of his murder, knew anything about the plot.

The New Poll That Proves Liberals Are Growing Dangerously Comfortable With Political Violence.  While the vast majority of Americans continue to reject political violence without quantification, a staggeringly large percentage of those identifying as liberals feel it can be justified and even celebrated.  [Advertisement]  A new poll conducted in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk shows the American left is growing dangerously comfortable with the idea of political violence as a tool to achieve its goals.  While left-leaning media demand the right tone down their rhetoric, a survey conducted by YouGov shows it's the resistance party that needs to engage in some serious introspection.  YouGov's polling addressed the simple matter of emotions when it comes to witnessing political violence, something that has become a significant issue as the left openly celebrates Kirk's death on gutter-feeding social media sites such as BlueSky.  A solid 34 percent of respondents identifying as either very or somewhat liberal said it is "always or usually acceptable" to be happy about the death of a political figure they disagree with.  Comparatively, just 7 percent of conservatives and 7 percent of moderates believe it's okay to be happy about such a death.

Iryna Zarutska, Charlie Kirk, and the Democrat Party.  Three recent events have underscored the catastrophic erosion of the foundational tenets of the United States and the anti-Americanism of the Democrat Party.  The first is the brutal murder of a young woman in Charlotte, N.C., Iryna Zarutska.  The second, the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  The third, sitting Democrat senator Tim Kaine's declaration reflecting a fundamental belief within the current Democrat Party that the government is the source and, thus, the final arbiter of all human rights.  Over the centuries, those that deem the state is paramount and, thus, the source of all rights, believe granting, limiting, or denying these rights is the sole discretion of the state based on what the state defines as the greater good.  When the state refuses to recognize the unalienable or God-given rights of its citizens its society is beset with turmoil and its culture is fraught with no respect for the life, liberty, and property of its individual citizens.

'There is no politics without an enemy'.  Everyone is outraged by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  And they are shocked by the number of teachers and government administrators that are celebrating his death.  But I am not surprised.  Why?  There is no politics without an enemy.  That little maxim was published on June 2, 2021, by Curtis Yarvin, originally on American Mind.  Now it's on his Substack Gray Mirror.  It's a distillation of the thought of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt on politics.

Report: Older Man Initially Arrested After Kirk Shooting Confessed to Distracting Police From Real Shooter.  Reports from various outlets indicate the 71-year-old man initially arrested after Charlie Kirk was shot has now allegedly confessed to trying to distract police from the real shooter.  [Advertisement]  Breitbart News noted that the actual alleged assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested by police on Thursday night and revealed to the public on Friday morning.  Video of 71-year-old George Zinn being led away from the shooting scene in handcuffs "about an hour after the shooting" led many to believe he was the shooter, and that therefore, the shooter had been apprehended.  However, Zinn was charged with obstruction of justice, not with the assassination, FOX 13 Salt Lake City noted.  The outlet pointed to police documents indicating Zinn was arrested after allegedly screaming, "I shot him.  Now shoot me!"  When no officers shot, Zinn alleged yelled again, "I shot him.  Now shoot me!"

After Kirk assassination, political left social media posts list 'next' targets.  In the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left.  Those on the list include podcaster Joe Rogan, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, conservative political commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, among others.  In response to being targeted, Rowling, said, "If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.  If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.  If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.  If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist."

Okay, Now Leftists Are Posting Hit Lists of the People They Want to Murder Next.  The left is evil.  The left is a gang of terrorists.  If you have any lingering doubt about that, consider this: first they were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, but now leftists are making those celebrations look practically innocent.  Hit lists have begun to appear on social media, as bloodthirsty leftists indulge their fantasies about which of their designated enemies they would like to see murdered next.  And yes, there is no doubt whatsoever that the people who are openly displaying their bloodlust in this way think all the while that they occupy the moral high ground.  [Advertisement]  The Center Square reported Friday that "in the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, thousands of social media posts appear to list politically conservative targets for assassination by the political left."

Pentagon calls Charlie Kirk posts 'domestic terrorism'; Dem warns discipline is 'un-American'.  The Pentagon is not backing down from its quest for consequences for those who celebrate Charlie Kirk's killing, even as Democrats warn the move is "un-American" and violates free speech protections.  The controversy underscores a clash between military discipline and First Amendment rights, with top Pentagon officials arguing that celebrating the killing of an American political figure is unacceptable conduct for service members — while Democrats counter that the crackdown risks punishing constitutionally protected speech.  "Hunting down and prosecuting service members for their individual political beliefs is dangerous and un-American," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger, wrote on X.  "We must condemn political violence AND allow peaceful speech that doesn't impact the chain of command."

The New York Times Perpetuates a Lie.  Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement — putting it in quotation marks — that the person never said.  That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper.  But it is exactly what former Washington Post "journalist" Karen Attiah did, on the BlueSky hate platform:  [Screenshot]  The quote Attiah attributed to Charlie Kirk?  He never said it.  She just made it up.  Her fabrication was rapidly exposed on X, and The Washington Post did the only thing it could, confronted with such misconduct:  they fired her.

State Department Revokes Visa for Rapper Who Mocked Assassination of Charlie Kirk.  The Trump-Rubio U.S. State Department revoked the visa of a punk rapper who viciously and gleefully mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a show.  A clip of Bobby Vylan, aka Pascal Robinson-Foster, the frontman for the English punk rap duo also called Bob Vylan, sparked outrage when he ghoulishly joked and danced on stage after Kirk's assassination.  [Advertisement]  Walking back in forth in front of a Palestinian flag at an Amsterdam venue, Vylan ranted, [Profanity-infused outburst omitted] after which he started dancing in joy to wild audience cheers.  Vylan also reportedly asked if there were "any snipers in the room."  [Tweet]  Fortunately, Vylan didn't get away without consequences for his loathsome and abhorrent behavior.  The U.S. State Department revoked his visa and let the rapper know that if he and his fellow rapper want to celebrate political assassination, they will have to do it overseas and not in the United States.

Report those who celebrate Charlie Kirk death to employers, Vance says.  People who celebrate the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk should be held accountable, US Vice-President JD Vance has said.  "Call them out, and hell, call their employer," Vance said as he guest-hosted an episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.  "We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility."  Pilots, medical professionals, teachers and one Secret Service employee are among those who have been suspended or sacked for social media posts that were deemed inappropriate about Kirk's death.  Critics have argued the firings threaten free speech and employee protections, although US companies have wide latitude to terminate employees.

News Anchor Suspended Over Non-Partisan Tribute to Charlie Kirk.  Beni Harmony was the Lifestyle Anchor/Reporter for WICS ABC20 in Springfield, Illinois.  However, according to Harmony's X and Facebook page, she was suspended for a Friday, on-air tribute to assassinated TPUSA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk.  [Advertisement]  Instead of accepting the suspension, Harmony chose to resign.  From the tribute, Harmony appeared to have a personal connection to Kirk and said that Kirk was "the first person who made me believe in myself."  In the X post, she included that on-air tribute.  Her message, while teary, heartfelt, and encouraging, did not come off as partisan or divisive.  The same cannot be said of high-profile and national legacy media outlets, which have spewed nonsense and some outright vitriol since Kirk's murder on Wednesday.  Over the last week and weekend, we have had a plethora of stories showing doctors, nurses, and teachers being exposed, and subsequently fired, for openly celebrating Kirk's assassination.  But now we have what appears to be the first instance of a person being suspended because they spoke well of Kirk and offered a glowing tribute.

Sick: First Man Arrested in Charlie Kirk's Murder Was Trying to Distract Cops.  In all the fire-hose flood of information and revelations in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, it's easy to forget that first suspect, the older man near the stage that we saw arrested in real time.  He was quickly cleared of any direct involvement and released.  As it turns out, though, he may be in some legal trouble after all; on Tuesday, reports surfaced that he may have drawn the police's attention to himself deliberately.  Why?  To help buy time for Charlie's murderer to escape.  [Advertisement]  If this is true, then all I can say is, what a despicable piece of filth.  [Tweet]

Arctic Frost:  Biden FBI Investigated Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA, Republican Groups.  The Biden administration's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated a wide array of conservative groups, including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA, as part of a wide probe called "Arctic Frost."  [Advertisement]  Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed the broader scope of Arctic Frost in a hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel at the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, saying that whistleblowers had come forward with new evidence.  Grassley said that the operation, originally set up to investigate the effort to overturn the 2020 election, had expanded to include a wide range of conservative groups, the Republican National Committee, and others.  [Tweet]

Clemson U. Fires Employees for Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination After Facing Backlash.  Clemson University has fired two more employees after facing backlash for refusing to take action on additional staff glorifying political violence in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  [Advertisement]  "Following an immediate and deliberate investigation into inappropriate social media content, Clemson today terminated an employee due to their social media posts," Clemson University announced in a Monday statement.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  "After being notified on Friday to stay out of the classroom, two faculty members now have been removed from their teaching duties pending investigation for termination," the statement continued.  "The University will continue to follow required processes with urgency."  While refusing to offer any additional details, the school insisted, "Clemson University's commitment to the safety and well-being of our campus community remains our top priority."

CBS Claiming No Political Motive Behind Charlie Kirk Assassination.  Far-left CBS News still has its broadcast license after claiming there is no "obvious political ideology" behind the public assassination of Charlie Kirk and the recent Catholic school shooting. [...] The CBS television network is given free access to valuable airwaves owned by the public, owned by We The People, and here's CBS deliberately doing what it has always done: spread misinformation.  [Tweet with video clip]

Vast Terror Network Exposed in Wake of Kirk's Assassination.  The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 15, 2025, is now officially treated as a sweeping conspiracy involving Antifa, radical transgender networks, military infiltrators, and international financiers, according to President Trump's remarks and the evolving law enforcement focus.  Key coverage includes a New York Post report on the widened probe, a Gateway Pundit article on Utah's Mormon-linked issues, and updates on DNA evidence confirming the suspect, alongside rising calls to designate Antifa a terrorist group and daily federal briefings aimed at resolving narrative inconsistencies. [...] Additional investigative updates add weight:  Kash Patel confirms DNA matches from a towel-wrapped firearm and a screwdriver to the suspect, with the probe widening to 20+ individuals in Discord chats celebrating the assassination.  Bannon says unresolved issues remain: video of the suspect dropping a rifle from a rooftop, stiff-legged doorbell footage hinting at concealed weapons, and unsearched vehicles.  He calls for Antifa's terrorist designation, FBI raids, and arrests of associates such as the shooter's "furry" roommate, likening the situation to the Boston Marathon bombing.

Feminists paid 'witches' to curse Charlie Kirk two days before assassination.  A Left-leaning feminist website paid "witches" to curse Charlie Kirk for an article published days before he was assassinated.  Editors of the Jezebel site were forced into an awkward clarification after Mr Kirk, a Right-wing political activist, was shot dead at an event on a Utah university campus.  Within hours, the killing had been heavily politicised.  Donald Trump, the US president, blamed the "radical Left" for the shooting in an address from the White House, while Nancy Mace, a Republican congresswoman, said Democrats needed to "own" the killing.

Liberals Lie That Tyler Robinson Isn't One of Their Own.  Moonbats have no meaningful conception of right and wrong or even true and untrue.  To them, there is only politically correct and politically incorrect.  That which makes them more powerful by advancing their preferred narratives is correct.  They gaslight each other into believing even the most preposterous lies — including that the leftist kook Tyler Robinson is a conservative. [...] Like the rest of the LGBT community, transsexuals are overwhelmingly left-wing.  Incidentally, they are also well known for violence. [...] If you share this information with a true believer Democrat, you are likely to get their standard response to any facts that do not conform to their talking points:  "Where'd you hear that?"

Nancy Mace Demands Trump Admin Pressure Schools to Fire Teachers for Celebrating Kirk Murder.  Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is demanding that the Trump administration pressure schools to fire teachers for "celebrating" the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.  Mace posted to social media about her efforts on Monday, writing:  ["]We are urging Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to take decisive action to cut off federal funding from any elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educational institution refusing to hold teachers or administrators accountable for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.  We stand ready to work with Secretary McMahon to ensure taxpayer dollars never fund hate, extremism, or violence inside our schools.  We don't fund hate.  We fire it.["]  [Tweet]

Sen. Lankford Deemed a Sellout for Downplaying Left-Wing Violence.  Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., was slammed by commentators on Sunday after he seemed to downplay left-wing violence, even after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed in broad daylight while addressing a crowd of young supporters.  Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Lankford offered a "both sides" take on the issue and even took time to highlight white extremism.  He made these comments in response to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller's pledge to hold those promoting violence against conservatives accountable.

Is America Heading Toward a New Civil War?  The assassination of Charlie Kirk shows yet again that the chasm between patriotic Americans and the left is certainly growing all the time and shows no signs of healing.  One telling indication that the nation might be heading toward a new civil conflict is the fact that political tensions have not been this high since the run-up to secession and the attack on Fort Sumter, and that numerous leftists are increasingly open about their lust for violence, cheering.on Kirk's death with unalloyed joy.  The murder of Charlie Kirk didn't happen in a vacuum.  Leftist leaders have been calling for violence, and now their calls have been heeded.  "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption — but I am now," said far-left Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker back in April.  "These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace."  That was after Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-Victimhood) said in February:  "This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight, yes we will stand."  And that was not long after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Hey, I'm a Victim Too) said this of the "extreme MAGA Republican agenda": "We are going to fight it legislatively.  We are going to fight it in the courts.  We're going to fight it in the streets."

Unraveling the web of deception:  Charlie Kirk's assassin and the FBI's false flag.  The assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves through America, raising urgent questions about who was truly behind the attack.  While authorities swiftly arrested an alleged shooter — identified as Tyler — the official narrative is riddled with inconsistencies, contradictions, and outright absurdities that suggest a deeper conspiracy at play.  The government's version of events strains credulity:
  •   No Visual Evidence:  Despite ubiquitous surveillance cameras, there is no footage of Tyler carrying a rifle, assembling it on a rooftop, or fleeing the scene.
  •   Impossible Logistics:  Officials claim Tyler disassembled and reassembled a precision rifle multiple times — a process requiring specialized tools — while simultaneously changing clothes mid-operation.
  •   No Recovered Bullet:  Despite claims of a sniper shot, no bullet has been recovered, making forensic verification impossible.  Ballistics matching, often touted as definitive proof, is itself a Hollywood myth — bullets cannot be conclusively linked to a specific firearm.
  •   Destroyed Crime Scene:  Kirk's security team hastily dismantled the scene, removing cameras and banners that could have provided critical evidence.

There IS Evidence of a Conspiracy to Kill Charlie Kirk.  Generally speaking, when people jump to the conclusion that there was a conspiracy to commit some heinous act, it is a mistake to jump down that rabbit hole without first seeing a lot of evidence that it hides something dangerous.  [Advertisement]  So when people started whispering about a conspiracy to kill Kirk, I thought that it was likely just paranoid musings that led in that direction.  After all, lone crazy people do things often enough.  [Two tweets]  But in this case it is beginning to look like this was a Trantifa conspiracy, and the FBI is seriously investigating links between trans activists who explicitly said online things that indicated they knew that Kirk would be shot, and at least one of those people celebrated that "We did it!" after Kirk's assassination.

I'm no lawyer, but perhaps you should not openly brag, "We did it," immediately after an especially infamous violent crime has been committed.

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin's transgender roommate 'hates conservatives and Christians,' relative says.  The trans roommate of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin "hates conservatives and Christians," one of his relatives told Fox News Digital in an interview.  The 22-year-old, who has not been charged and whose name has not yet been released by authorities, was in a romantic relationship with suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, according to the relative.  She said he is in the process of transitioning from male to female.  The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital her relative began to act differently when he turned 18 and said that he developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives.

FBI Investigating Social Media Accounts That Appeared To Indicate Foreknowledge of Kirk Assassination.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.  The posts — one of which referenced the date of Kirk's assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place — were all deleted in the days following the killing.  Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.

I'm no lawyer, but maybe it's a bad idea to reveal everything you know to the internet.

It's Too Late to Cry "Cancel Culture".  It's funny that they all suddenly care about censorship, free speech, and cancel culture, isn't it?  And the chilling effects that had on open expression?  Have they looked at Hollywood lately?  Ever hear of a culture of silence and a climate of fear that has all but gutted a once-thriving industry?  Do they remember why Elon Musk had to buy Twitter?  How many people did we watch unpersoned, disappeared, and banished from utopia?  How many lives have been ruined just for daring to speak the truth about the differences between biological men and women?  Remember All Lives Matter?  Remember Blue Lives Matter?  Remember the MAGA hat and all of the ways people were assaulted, screamed at, spit on, and shunned just for wearing them?  [Video clip]  Do the hundreds of names in the database for Cancel Culture register at all?  Remember the Harper's Letter and how so many were canceled just for signing it?  Now, we're all supposed to feel bad because those who chose to dance on Charlie Kirk's grave are now losing their jobs?

Tyler Robinson's DNA [has been] Found at Kirk Assassination Site; Suspect Previously Vowed to 'Take Out' Kirk.  Law enforcement has turned up striking new evidence in their investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination, including a confirmed DNA match linking the alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, to the crime scene, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Monday.  [Advertisement]  Robinson's DNA was present on a screwdriver found on a rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus as well as on a towel that was wrapped around the rifle that investigators found in the woods near the assassination site, Patel said during an interview on Fox & Friends.  "I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA from the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody," Patel said.  The bolt-action hunting rifle used in the attack is still in Maryland with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives being analyzed, Patel said.  [Advertisement]  Robinson also wrote a note before the assassination, saying if he was given the chance to "take out Charlie Kirk," he was "going to take it," Patel revealed.

Charlie Kirk assassination suspect had 'furry' fixation, and his trans boyfriend proclaimed support for Biden on social media.  Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.  Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson's roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, "We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit."  Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.

Charlie Kirk assassination investigation widens to probe whether pro-trans, online groups knew in advance.  The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The [New York] Post has learned.  Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.  The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot just miles from where Charlie Kirk was murdered.  Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk's assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America's most conservative states.  Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism.  Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to encourage the use of firearms in their claimed mission, many of the images used depict firearms.  As recently as this spring, its members traveled to Cuba for a meeting to celebrate the May Day holiday and participate in a march and events alongside revolutionaries from around the world.  The group posted photos on its public Instagram account — which was deleted on Friday — of its young students attending, and its leaders openly discussed how the communist regime agenda and this American group's agenda were aligned in a YouTube video after the visit to Havana.  The video has been scrubbed and is not available in any web archive, but Just the News took a careful transcription of the discussion prior to its deletion.

The left must finally quit encouraging political violence.  From all early signs, Tyler Robinson's "reasons" for taking Charlie Kirk's life came straight from the lefty disinformation machine that has been screaming about right-wing fascism for at least half the confessed assassin's life.  At least two "anti-fascist" messages on the cartridges; a relative noting how in conversation he insisted Kirk "was full of hate and spreading hate" — all horribly in tune with the many lefty talking points uttered after the assassination suggesting Kirk was asking for it.  Yes, the extreme right has its own sicko extremists, but Robinson didn't have to dunk himself into the sewers of the Internet to imbibe the incessant refrain that President Donald Trump and anyone who supports him is a clear and present danger to American democracy.  Leading political and cultural figures spread that message of hate all over TV and the rest of our major media.  It has become a commonplace across the left — including the center-left — to compare Trump, Trump voters and Republicans generally to Hitler, Nazis and fascists.

Charlie Kirk's assassination is the result of a decade of anti-Trump rhetoric from the left.  A predictable reaction to the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk among legacy media outlets has been to condemn the ugly tenor of America's political debate and call for a timeout.  On its face, the plea sounds reasonable enough, but it rests on the false idea of both-sidesism, as if left and right are equally to blame for the frightening rise of political violence.  Count that as another Big Media lie and a repugnant effort to obscure the actual source and motivation of the assassination scourge.  There are not two sides contributing to the horror and equally responsible for it.  The single truth is that we are witnessing the inevitable result of a decade of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Kirk's death is another piece of poisoned fruit growing out of the far left's hysteria and its fetish-like obsession about killing the president.

Was the Current Madness Birthed in the University?  America is currently sick.  The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old 'anti-fascist' and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson.  As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. [...] No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration — among them scores of teachers and professors.  Their venom was eerily reminiscent of their earlier canonization of left-wing murderer Luigi Mangione.  Recall, Mangione was the spoiled nepo baby who lethally ambushed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.  Thereby, he became an icon to the Left as a social justice warrior fighting the evil capitalist system, which had so enriched himself and his own family.

The killing of Charlie Kirk shows just how poisonous Left-wing politics now is.  It is impossible to imagine a more gruesomely visceral demonstration of the silencing of free speech than the shooting in the neck of its defender-in-chief, Charlie Kirk.  The placement of the bullet, fired from 130m away, while Kirk was mid-sentence was profoundly symbolic.  One can easily imagine the killer aiming to hit him in the voice box where it was really going to hurt.  Had the 31-year-old father of two miraculously survived, he would have been a muted version of his former self; in all likelihood, unable to communicate as before.  That was surely the objective — to shut him up, in one way or another.  [Advertisement]  We now know that the ammunition found with the high powered, bolt action .30 calibre hunting rifle was engraved with what police say is "anti-fascist ideology".  Whoever did this truly believed that killing someone they disagreed with could be justified in the name of "anti-fascism", of all things; that this ultimate act of intolerance, could in some way be spun as a win for liberalism.  In truth, it was eerily reminiscent of the worst of the far-rightism they accused Kirk of:  a public execution for a supposedly higher cause.

Tear It Out By The Roots — Ending Antifa.  Charlie Kirk is dead.  It seems abundantly clear that he was killed by a leftist terrorist espousing the rhetoric and ideology of Antifa and other radical domestic terrorists.  Whether this assassin acted alone or as part of a cell remains to be seen.  We can say without hesitation, however, that Kirk's killing should have come as a surprise to no one in American law enforcement or intelligence.  We have had abundant evidence for years now of the growth of a massive domestic terrorist infrastructure intent on destroying the republic and employing violence in pursuit of that aim.  The anarchists in this country are very explicit about the use of direct action, which includes violence.  They celebrate it.  They discuss it and describe it and glory in it.  [Video clip]

1 in 3 College Students Believe in Violence to Stop Campus Speech.  The murder of Charlie Kirk was not the action of one man, but of a culture that has been incubated on college campuses, that occasionally gets called 'liberal', but has no more in common with liberalism than Al Qaeda does.

Illinois Lawmaker Files Impeachment Articles Against Gov. JB Pritzker For "Inciting Violence".  An Illinois Republican state lawmaker, Representative Chris Miller, has filed articles of impeachment against Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, alleging the governor engaged in conduct "incompatible with the duties of his office" by inciting violence through several public statements.  The articles were filed on Friday, September 12, 2025.  In a statement, Rep. Miller asserted that Governor Pritzker "has failed to uphold the oath of protecting the Illinois Constitution and has failed to protect the citizens of Illinois."  He specifically cited three instances from earlier this year as evidence of the governor's alleged misconduct.

Here's a shocker:
Utah Governor:  Alleged Charlie Kirk Shooter Not Cooperating with Authorities.  Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is not cooperating with law enforcement, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said in appearances on network Sunday shows.  "He has not confessed to, to authorities," Cox told ABC News's This Week co-anchor Martha Raddatz.  "He is, he is, he is not cooperating, but, but, but all the people around him are cooperating.  And I think that's, that's, that's very important."  Authorities arrested the 22-year-old on Friday.  He currently is in custody with charges expected to be formally filed on Tuesday, Cox said.

If I was facing a firing squad, I wouldn't cooperate, either.

GLAAD Smears Charlie Kirk, Puts Target On Back Of Other Conservative Activists.  A GLAAD spokesman smeared conservative Christian Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, as someone who "spread infinite amounts of disinformation about LGBTQ people."  The spokesman did not provide any examples, but told The Advocate, the self-proclaimed "queer paper of record," that, "Lies and vitriol about transgender people were a frequent part of his rhetoric and events."  [Advertisement]  It should be easy to find examples because Kirk produced so many videos, but perhaps The Advocate failed to show any of Kirk's "vitriol" because they don't exist.  When Kirk engaged with the LGBT community, it was always with respect.  He saw the humanity in people who desperately want to be seen, heard, and understood.  The speakers who came to challenge Kirk's ideas wanted to sway his opinion, but with the rock-solid foundation of the Bible, he would not move from his Christian principles.  He was kind, asked thought-provoking questions, and it was apparent that he cared about the long-term outcome for the people he spoke with.

Axios: Investigators Suspect Anger Over Kirk's Stance on Trans Issues Could Be the Motive.  The blame game over suspect Tyler Robinson's motives for shooting Charlie Kirk continued to play out this weekend with some on the left continuing to claim that Robinson was a Groyper or someone critical of Charlie Kirk but on the far right.  [Advertisement] There have been a lot of twists and turns in this story already.  There was a report in the Guardian Friday that Tyler's high school classmate said he was pretty far left on everything but by Saturday those comments had been deleted from the story.

The Editor says...
The writer of the article above includes this alarming tidbit:  "by Saturday those comments had been deleted from the story."  Please note that excerpts and quotes from external news sources are posted here on akdart.com as soon as I find out about them, and as soon as I can format them properly to fit the bare-bones website style.  I have neither the time nor the inclination to keep checking the original articles to see if phrases have since been deleted — or the entire article retracted.

The Next Question:  Did Online Radical Groups Know About Charlie Kirk Assassination in Advance?  It's the first thing that comes to mind in awful situations like this — did a deranged psychopath act alone, or did he have help?  In the aftermath of Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk's assassination on Wednesday by a young man who appears to have wildly leftist tendencies, authorities want to know if he was a lone wolf or whether his twisted internet "friends" had advance knowledge.

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot just miles from where Charlie Kirk was murdered.  Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk's assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America's most conservative states.  Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism.  Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to encourage the use of firearms in their claimed mission, many of the images used depict firearms.  As recently as this spring, its members traveled to Cuba for a meeting to celebrate the May Day holiday and participate in a march and events alongside revolutionaries from around the world.  The group posted photos on its public Instagram account — which was deleted on Friday — of its young students attending, and its leaders openly discussed how the communist regime agenda and this American group's agenda were aligned in a YouTube video after the visit to Havana.  The video has been scrubbed and is not available in any web archive, but Just the News took a careful transcription of the discussion prior to its deletion.

Dark Money, Evil Intent.  Tyler Robinson, Kirk's killer, embodied Antifa violence.  Kirk's September 11, 2025 assassination grew from Leftist rhetoric.  For years, Democrats and media called for "fighting in the streets," branding Trump a Hitler, fascist, racist, "convicted felon" — all lies, dehumanizing.  That rhetoric primed Robinson — a lunatic leftist — to murder Kirk; his messages and bullet casings proved it.  The same dynamic fueled the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha and the 2025 Antifa attacks on conservative events.  Propaganda scripted by the DSA, CCP-funded influencers, and dark-money networks linked to Democrats turns rhetoric into rage.  It weaponizes the mentally ill and radical leftists to advance a Marxist-socialist agenda.  Violence and death are not accidents — they are the calculated byproduct of the Left's pursuit of power.

The January 6 Rules.  Apparently, in some attempted "gotcha" effort, social media influencers on the Left are calling out MAGA's purported ideological pivot following the vile response by many on their side to the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.  Kirk's legion of admirers is publicly identifying individuals — many of whom unsurprisingly work in the education system — cheering Kirk's murder online.  Several have been fired including perpetual head case Matthew Dowd at MSNBC.  But it is MAGA's crusade to "cancel" those haters, not the expression of hate itself necessarily, causing performative pearl-clutching on the Left.

Congress Must Root Out Leftist Funding That Created Climate Ripe For Kirk Assassination.  Charlie Kirk's assassination was a terrorist attack meant to discourage the conservative movement.  Even before authorities had suspected sniper Tyler Robinson in custody, we knew it was likely the work of a radicalized mind brainwashed by far-left extremist rhetoric so vile that he thought it was okay to kill someone.  Where does this radicalization come from?  Follow the money.  Conservative Mike Cernovich was correct in his Wednesday X post calling for a congressional investigation into the funding of far-left extremism.  Our political climate is not an accident.  Provocative leftist ideologies pushed with guerrilla marketing are used to manipulate weak minds.  Influence always costs money when the message is not pure enough to resonate with people on its own.

NJ hospital nurse claims retaliation for reporting doctor who 'celebrated' Kirk assassination.  A New Jersey nurse who reported a doctor who allegedly "cheered and celebrated" Charlie Kirk's assassination is suing after she faced disciplinary action, her lawyer said in a lawsuit filed on Friday.  Lexi Kuenzle, 33, a nurse at Englewood Health, filed suit Friday against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others for the incident that allegedly occurred "in front of patients and staff."  "She had the audacity to question how Dr. Jung can comply with the Hippocratic Oath's and the American Medical Association's Code of Medical Ethics while celebrating the murder of a non-violent Christian speaker who was on a college campus," Kuenzle's attorney, John Coyle, said in the complaint.  Dr. Jung then allegedly "offered to 'buy lunch' for the nursing staff that he offended," the lawsuit states.

Charlie Kirk's Assassin May Be Part of a Larger Left-Wing Terror Effort.  Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught.  But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy.  [Advertisement]  While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI's probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping.  What's emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern activism.  According to a report from the New York Post, investigators are digging deeper than just the accused shooter; they're looking at potential ties to radical leftist groups.  The probe is targeting both local outfits in Utah and online networks, including users on the gaming platform Steam.

Charlie Kirk assassination suspect had 'furry' fixation, and his trans boyfriend proclaimed support for Biden on social media.  Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.  Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson's roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, "We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit."  Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.

Charlie Kirk assassination investigation widens to probe whether pro-trans, online groups knew in advance.  The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The [New York] Post has learned.  Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.  The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.

Why the Left Wants the Right to 'Lower the Temperature'.  In the aftermath of the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk last week, does the Right need to "lower the temperature" of its rhetoric?  That's what the usual suspects on the Left are saying.  As it happens, "lowering the temperature" while simultaneously raising the intelligence of discussion was one of Charlie Kirk's specialties.  A theme of his campus "American Comeback" tour (which his widow Erika plans to continue) was dignified debate.  "Prove Me Wrong" was Charlie's mantra.  He eagerly engaged with college students who disagreed — or, sometimes, merely thought they disagreed — with him about a wide range of political, social, moral, and religious issues.  If you have never seen him debate, I recommend you consult Mr. Google or one of his professional counterparts and watch Charlie in action.  He was robust but also unfailingly kind, patient, and attentive to his interlocutors.  The reason?  He wished to persuade his audience about the rightness of his point of view, about the virtues of America, the wisdom of Christianity, and the leadership of Donald Trump.  Charlie was fundamentally a teacher.

No decency, after all.  Mainstream Democrats are linking to this piece on Reuters.  ["]Ideological label of suspect, if any, hard to define, expert says.["] The expert sought out by Reuters goes ahead and tries to define it anyway.  She concludes that Tyler Robinson was a super-far-right radical who thought that soft-on-communism Charlie Kirk was too far left.  No, really, What I learned today is that once you go far-right enough, all of your political enemies become "fascists."  Reuters "reports,"  ["]An expert on democracy and security said it was hard to read too much into the messages left on the shell casings recovered by authorities.  One of the inscriptions read:  "hey fascist!  CATCH!"["]  What could that mean?  ["]Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the symbology found on the bullet casings suggests the shooter had affiliation with the so-called Groyper movement, associated with far-right activist and commentator Nick Fuentes.["]  Kirk was a fascist, you see, because he wasn't right enough for Robinson and Fuentes.  Case closed.

Report: Charlie Kirk's killer lived with a trans roommate/partner — who is said to be cooperating with the FBI.  Well isn't this interesting... As we learn more about communist Democrat Tyler Robinson, now we find out he was living with a trans "partner" or roommate at the time of the Charlie Kirk killing.  So far, it's being reported that this trans individual is fully cooperating with the FBI.  The partner/roommate is a biological male trans into a female.  This is from Brooke Singman of Fox News...  If this is true, be careful not to lump the trans person in with this murder... I doubt the trans person would be cooperating with the FBI if it was involved in anyway.  [Tweet, advertisements, nothing further.]

FBI Confirms:  Kirk's Killer in 'Romantic Relationship' With Transgender.  Tyler Robinson was not only a leftist, he was radical LGBTQ, per newly released information.  After Fox News correspondent and reporter Brooke Singman reported this morning that Tyler Robinson, accused of killing TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk Wednesday, had a "transgender" partner, Fox followed up with FBI officials.  The outlet subsequently reported that senior FBI officials confirmed Tyler was in a "romantic relationship" with a man who is "transitioning" to be a woman.  [Advertisement]  The FBI, which was having difficulty identifying the shooter before Robinson's own family and a pastor contacted by the father turned him in, has sworn to investigate every detail connected with the heartbreaking assassination of Kirk.

Some Thoughts on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Some decades ago, Mao's CCP encouraged critics of the communist regime to speak up.  They were shocked to find out how much disagreement with their policies there was and the brave (or feckless) ones who believed the Hundred Flowers campaign was a genuine effort to encourage free speech found themselves in prison, re-education camps or dead.  In a way, I'm reminded of that campaign this week, people — mostly educators, medical professionals, media members, government employees, and even some acting military and one Secret Service member — expressed the most repulsive, anti-democratic views in supporting the assassination.  They did so in the mistaken belief propagated mostly by teachers, universities, the media, Democrat officials, and celebrities, that these views were anodyne and held by all right thinkers.  As they face consequences — shunning, firing, loss of business, loss of visas — many of these same people are posting videos of themselves crying in shock that the views they hold are not acceptable and that they are being held to account for them.  In the case of China, it was the government punishing citizens for free speech.  In America today it is citizens holding accountable those who think murder is an acceptable means to silence speech with which they disagree.

Report: Suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination lived with transgender partner, shot Kirk during question about trans shooters.  I'm sure the media will find a way to spin this somehow.  From Fox News reporter Brooke Singman:  [Same tweet as above.]  If you are trying to keep track, this would imply that Robinson is a gay man living with another gay man who likes to dress in women's clothing.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  According to the FBI and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Robinson wrote far-left messages on his bullet casings in support of transgender and Antifa ideology.  [Screenshot]  The shooter was also described by a friend as "really leftist," (though the far-left British outlet The Guardian retracted that part of its report after people started noticing it).

Governor Cox: 'Investigators' Know Kirk Assassin Was 'Deeply Indoctrinated With Left-Wing Ideology'.  Utah Governor Spencer Cox has set the record straight in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, directly contradicting left-wing attempts to claim the Charlie Kirk assassin was "right-wing."  [Advertisement]  As RedState reported, there has been a perverse, incoherent attempt to try to blame Kirk's assassination not only on himself, but to suggest left-wing ideology played no role in the heinous crime.  One of the latest to do it was disgraced former congressman Adam Kinzinger, who put out this post on Saturday morning.  [Tweet]  According to Cox, though, who has direct involvement in the investigation, it is "very clear" to investigators that Tyler Robinson was "indoctrinated with leftist ideology."

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner: source.  Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The [New York] Post Saturday.  That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added.  The relationship was first reported by Fox News' Brooke Singman.  According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived.  A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that "yes, they were roommates."

Tyler Robinson's roommate who tipped off FBI is identified.  A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.  Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.  Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday's shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.  His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a 'transgender partner' who is co-operating with the investigation.  It is unclear if Twiggs is the same person referenced in the reports and he has not been named in the affidavit.  His grandfather, Jerry Twiggs, told Daily Mail that he was unable to comment on rumors that he is trans and that there was a transgender motive to Kirk's murder.

Calls to 'haul' Bluesky CEO before Congress grow louder.  The left loves to point the finger at MAGA and cry "radicalization."  Everyday people, suburban moms and dads, mowing their lawns, paying their bills, and wanting a safe country are suddenly painted as "radicals."  It's hogwash.  The real radicalization is staring us in the face, and it's far uglier than anything they've ever accused us of.  On the left-wing social media app Bluesky, the assassination of Charlie Kirk is being celebrated like a national holiday.  The entire site reads like a grotesque party, with users cheering, laughing, and even dancing over the murder of a young husband and father, shot down for the simple crime of thinking differently.  [Two advertisements]  And it doesn't stop there.  The mob on Bluesky is now taking it even further by openly naming other conservatives they want to see assassinated next.

The Left Doesn't Want You to Know the Truth About Charlie Kirk's Killer.  The left is always obsessed with the race, gender, religion, and ideology of both the victim and the perpetrator — and if the facts don't fit their preferred narrative, the incident gets buried or twisted.  Now, they're doing it again — this time with the man who killed civil rights leader Charlie Kirk.  We learned Friday that the man suspected of killing Kirk was caught and arrested, and the left is really working hard to invent a story where Robinson is a Trump supporter — even though that narrative makes no sense at all.  In fact, the available facts say the exact opposite.  Robinson left behind ammunition casings with mocking left-wing anti-fascist slogans — "Hey, fascist!  Catch!" — and even one marked with "Bella ciao," an anthem tied to leftist resistance fighters.  These weren't just random scribbles; they were declarations steeped in the rhetoric of the radical left.

High School Friend:  Shooter Was 'Pretty Far Left on Everything'.  As David pointed out earlier, there are a bunch of alternative theories floating around about what motivated Charlie Kirk's killer.  One that is popping up a lot today is the claim that Tyler Robinson was actually a conservative.  [Advertisement]  Where are people coming up with this?  Well, it appears his family was pretty conservative.  His father is in law enforcement and there are photos of them with guns.  They lived in a conservative part of a heavily red state.  Both parents were registered Republicans.  Lacking much more than that, some people are just making up their own evidence, such as this Photoshopped image of the shooter in a Trump shirt.  It's totally fake but it seems to have gotten lots of attention.  [Tweet]

Alleged Kirk Assassin A "Radical Left ANTIFA-Adjacent Creep" Wrote "Hey Fascist" On Bullet Casing.  On Friday afternoon, chatter on X pointed to an alleged Discord channel tied to Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin.  The online platform is the same one previously used by the Butler assassin, raising serious questions about whether radical leftist groups are exploiting Discord to indoctrinate youth and push them toward militant accelerationism.  [Tweet] [...] The key question is whether Discord is being used as a radicalization weapon by leftist groups against vulnerable youth.  "Subpoena Discord and investigate the founders, @jasoncitron knows what they are hiding.  Terror cells are being groomed within their platform, and they know it," one X user stated.  [Tweet]

Dehumanization: How the Left Justifies Killing Conservatives.  [Scroll down]  Normal people don't advocate for the killing of non-violent people just for the things they say.  That's why some of the most evil and shrewd operatives walking on this planet know that to win acceptance of murder as an activist tool, they must first dehumanize their targets.  This has been building for years, and it has been particularly strong since Donald Trump became president.  As early as 2016, it was largely accepted that anyone wearing a MAGA hat in public was subjecting himself or herself to physical and verbal harassment and assault.  Turning Point USA volunteers learned to expect that their detractors on college campuses would get into their events and cause scenes, and not infrequently attack them and vandalize their tables, tents, and displays.  Trump has been called "Hitler" and a "fascist" so routinely that, in the leftist bubbles on social media and in the legacy media, those words are branded to him and the MAGA movement at large.  Since it seems the only period of history that matters to the left is Germany in the 1940s, let's look at this through the prism of what the Nazis did to dehumanize the Jews, which ultimately convinced regular Germans to tacitly condone the atrocities that followed.

Why Doesn't the FBI Stop the Violent, Organized, National Activity of Antifa?  How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police.  Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos... Completely without being stopped?  It doesn't matter where it is happening, that's irrelevant.  Think plainly and simply.  How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

New Evidence Emerges on Kirk Assassin's Political Views, Countering Attempt to Paint Him As 'Right-Wing'.  With the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday has come the inevitable political idiocy in the aftermath.  As RedState reported, it was revealed that Tyler Robinson had engraved anti-fascist phrases and other oddities on the ammunition he used in his bolt-action .30-06 rifle.  That, along with the fact that he murdered one of the most prominent right-wing figures in the world, didn't exactly point to him being on the political right.  [Advertisement]  Yet, by Friday morning, the narrative that Robinson was actually a "right-wing groyper" was spreading like wildfire on social media, pushed by many large Democrat accounts.  Others claimed that because his parents were Republicans and he was white, it was simply impossible that Robinson could hold left-wing views, a completely nonsensical assertion.

What the Messages on the Bullets of Charlie Kirk's Assassin Mean.  [Scroll down]  The Wall Street Journal originally reported that the bullet casings were engraved with "transgender... ideology," but that is not readily apparent.  What the messages do show is an internet-specific brand of trollish nihilism adopted by many recent shooters.  For example, the 23-year-old shooter who killed two children and injured 19 others at a Minneapolis Catholic school on August 27 left a monologue on their YouTube channel that referenced Waco and Ruby Ridge, but also "Loss," an infamous 2008 web comic that's become one of the longest-running insider jokes on the internet.  The copycat style that has emerged is both deadly serious and a put-on, and part of the "joke" is that it's largely inscrutable for those who haven't marinated their brains in online culture.  But it's not original or particularly meaningful.

The New Left-Wing Narrative:  Tyler Robinson Was a White Supremacist Republican Trump Supporter.  If you spend any time on X, you will see that the left is now pushing the narrative that Charlie Kirk's assassin was actually a Republican because his parents were.  [Advertisement]  Those Antifa scribblings?  Misdirection.  The fact that he shot a conservative friend of the Trump family?  It is part of a fascist conspiracy to start the civil war that the left has been calling for over the past decade.  Seriously, they are going with that.  [Tweet]  There are lots of these posts out there, and some of them are sharing photos and personal information of young men with the same name (I won't spread those), but I think a man who worked in the White House for Bill Clinton and runs an anti-Trump political action committee is fair game.

Charlie Kirk and the apocalyptic narcissism of trans.  It is the blackest irony, like a sick joke by the universe, that Charlie Kirk was gunned down as he discussed gun violence.  That word — 'violence' — was the last he ever uttered.  Milliseconds later, violence of the gravest kind was visited on him.  Actually, we need to be more specific:  Kirk was discussing trans violence in the seconds before his death.  He was pushing back against one of his student interlocutors who seemed to downplay the phenomenon of trans mass shootings.  The student badgered Kirk to say how many such shootings there have been. 'Too many', Kirk replied.  Seconds later, his carotid artery was severed and he was dead.  I'm not suggesting Kirk was executed for daring to talk about trans violence.  The gunman will not have been able to hear what Kirk was saying — he was on a rooftop 200 yards away. [...] The thing is, he was right: there are too many trans shootings.  There has been a violent turn in the trans ideology.  The trans sect does seem ever-more consumed by a brutish animus for anyone who dissents from its post-truth orthodoxies; for those [...] who dare to withhold their validation from men who claim to be women or youths who claim to be non-binary.

Democrats today showed us their murderous colors.  What matters today is the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a college-focused pro-American conservative organization that has done more in the past ten years to reshape American culture than any pundit or politician anywhere.  Why was Kirk murdered?  The murderer is still at large but we can make a reasonable guess.  Kirk, only 31, was an outspoken conservative who unequivocally believed in the fundamentals of American society, including freedom, small government, color-blind rules, and the right of every person to pursue happiness.  This is not propaganda on my part.  I have listened to many of Kirk's speeches and appearances, and at no time did he do anything to contradict these conclusions.  If anything, he made these beliefs crystal clear to anyone who would listen. [...] The left and its propaganda press will work hard to make excuses for this evil act, but as they do so they will simply prove my point above.  Already anchors on MSNBC are slandering him again, calling him "divisive" and "awful" who said things that upset people and thus we shouldn't be surprised he was killed.  "It was HIS fault!"  On social media leftists are celebrating this evil act, showing us how utterly evil they are.

After Charlie Kirk's murder, the Democrats revel in two minutes of hate and attack the Second Amendment.  We knew that the left's response to Charlie Kirk's assassination would be ugly, but it was uglier than anyone could have predicted and infinitely more stupid, too.  It was uglier because hordes of people celebrated the death of a young father because they disagreed with his ideas, and it was stupid because of how they approached the gun control arguments that always arise when someone, anyone, gets shot. [...] What we witnessed in real time was Orwell's famed two minutes of hate, voluntarily exercised against a murder victim and lasting a lot longer than two minutes.  At the top, there was the group response from elected Democrats:  [Tweet with video clip]

The time for dialogue is over.  I cannot and will not use my platform to call for retaliatory violence, but if you think this is going to stop because every significant Democrat posted their phony sympathies on X, you are out of your mind.  Left-wingers who spend all day consuming propaganda mainstream media, getting ideas from influencers on social media, and communicating exclusively with those who hold their hate-filled ideas will continue to strike, because their political ideology is their world and indeed their religion.  They are turning the United States into a third-world nation in decorum and behavior, and as many pointed out yesterday, have now broken the social contract that makes us Americans.  The left are not Americans.  They are demon-possessed, hate-filled sycophants for a cause of evil, and I am done mincing words and playing nice.

Scott Adams on the Murder of Charlie Kirk: 'I Believe the Democrat Party Has to be Totally Dismantled'.  Scott Adams, the creator of the famous 'Dilbert' comic strip, talked about the murder of Charlie Kirk during his 'Coffee With Scott Adams' podcast today and suggested that the Democrat party has to be 'totally dismantled.'  Citing a tweet from conservative activist Mike Cernovich, Adams pointed out that the Democrat party is supported not just by a small group of progressive billionaires, but also by an endless web of non-profits and various NGOs (non-government organizations).  Adams emphasizes the fact that he would not have made these comments just a few days ago, but that he took the murder of Charlie Kirk personally and that Democrats not only spread the rhetoric that led to this, they have actually made it worse in the two days that followed.

The Same Left That Called Luigi Mangione A Hero Is Now Laughing At Charlie Kirk's Assassination.  Just minutes after an assassin's bullet ripped into conservative icon Charlie Kirk during an appearance at Utah Valley University, twisted liberals took to social and corporate media airwaves.  The "co-exist" and "tolerance" crowd gloated and rejoiced over Kirk's violent end, spewing schadenfreude with the glee of children in a candy store.  An apparently conscienceless woman jumped on TikTok to tell anyone who would listen that "the best part" of the assassination of the co-founder of Turning Point USA is that Kirk is "not martyr material."  "So his death will mean nothing," she opines, smiling smugly.  "It will activate no one.  It will impact few.  It's just great."  [Tweet]

This Is a Good Time to Let the Haters Rot In Their Miserable Lives.  Leftists are inherently miserable people, we know that.  They also think that misery should be spread around and communal.  They've been spreading a lot of it around for many years, but it's really gotten bad of late.  [Advertisement]  Catholic school kids are gunned down at Mass.  A young refugee woman is brutally murdered by a lunatic who was only on the streets because Democrats fetishize and glorify criminals.  Now a young husband and father who was a refreshingly positive voice in the negative world of politics has been assassinated.  That's a lot to process for decent people.  For the mentally unwell American Left, it's just another reason to get even louder about how much they hate people who don't agree with them politically.

The Weatherman: Some Brief Thoughts.  First, the murder of Charlie Kirk is just the next level up the behavioral chain from the way Robert F. Kennedy was just treated in front of a Senate committee.  He wasn't mistaken, or wrong:  He was an unforgivable monster, wholly illegitimate in every imaginable sense, who had no views or arguments that were worth considering in any way, and the only possible response to him is personal destruction.  Our institutional left is a rage mob with formal titles.  We're not having a debate.  Second, the transition to radical violence is a reflection of the events that followed the death of the radical dream of the 1960s New Left.  After the hippies, the Weatherman and the Symbionese Liberation Army.  The turn to radical violence is the turn that follows obvious failure.  It's an acknowledgement of political impotence, and a last-ditch emergency reflex:  If they won't submit to our political vision, we'll coerce them into submission.  It's the death rattle.  It means the arguing and convincing has failed, and they see the failure.

Assassinations Will Continue Until The GOP Creates Real Consequences For Leftist Violence.  Charlie Kirk — a generational voice of the conservative movement — was assassinated Wednesday while hosting one of his famous campus discussion events.  We still don't know the identity of the shooter, but that doesn't mean we don't know who is responsible.  Radical leftists bear great blame for engaging in inflammatory rhetoric that can only be described as assassination prep.  And Republicans bear responsibility, too, for letting it come to this.  [Advertisement]  Before Kirk died at the hands of an assassin, leftist radicals tried to kill Rep. Steve Scalise, President Donald Trump (twice), and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.  Statements of condemnation and condolence were issued, but that was it.  Mike Cernovich put it this way on X:  "The weakness of the GOP led us to this moment.  A mass shooter attempted to murder dozens of Republican congress members.  Few people even know this happened.  Republicans 'just took it,' as they always do.  And now Charlie Kirk is dead.  Recognize what time it is or resign."  The leftists who support this violence — from elected Democrats to talking heads to the foot soldiers who cheer when someone like Kirk is murdered — have been conditioned to know their camp will suffer no real consequences when their violent worldview creates assassins who target conservatives.  They've watched Republicans cave on every front, from culture to speech, elections, and even physical violence.

'Professional Hit'? Some Lawmakers Speculate on Nature of Kirk's Killing.  As the investigation continues into the fatal shooting Wednesday of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, some congressmen say they think the killing might have been a "professional hit."  The investigation of the killing and the manhunt for the perpetrator are ongoing.  The FBI recently released an image of a "person of interest" who was on the scene of the assassination.  The announcement followed the release of two other people who had been taken into custody.  An award of up to $100,000 has been offered by the FBI for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.  The rifle thought to have been used to assassinate Kirk was found in a "wooded area where the shooter had fled," according to the FBI.  House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters Thursday that he suspects the killing was a professional hit, given the apparent sophistication of the assassin's techniques.

Charlie Kirk's Death And America Regaining Its Footing On The Righteous Path.  One never knows for sure beforehand, but I think Charlie Kirk's assassination may be something of a tipping point in American politics and culture, or, at a minimum, an inflection point.  Why?  Because Charlie wasn't a radical, he wasn't a firebrand, he wasn't a bomb thrower... No, Charlie was — in a relative sense — a lamb.  And now, that lamb has been slaughtered. [...] Charlie Kirk was attractive, engaging, effective, and brave.  And the left killed him for it because violence is all that the left has to offer.  As Charlie demonstrated every time he took to a podium to speak or a table to debate, words, eloquently delivered, with passion and supported by facts, can be a powerful weapon in the battle of ideas and policy.  The left had no good answer to Charlie.  Sure, they have passion, and they sometimes have eloquence, but they rarely have facts or reality on their side, and even less often, common sense.

Footage Shows Individual Running Across Roof of Losee Center Moments After Charlie Kirk Assassination.  A shocking new video has surfaced that shows an alleged shooter running above the roof after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.  According to the New York Times, UVU spokeswoman Ellen Treanor confirmed that Kirk was struck by gunfire from a shooter positioned at the Losee Center, a building roughly 200 yards away from where Kirk was addressing students. [...] John Solomon told Steve Bannon that while details are still emerging, early indications suggest Charlie Kirk's assassination may have been a calculated professional hit.  [Video clip]

A history of violence.  The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a horrific reminder that the left is based on nothing other than terror, violence, and aggression. [...] Violence is built into the very foundations of leftist ideology.  Marx himself fantasized in print over the apocalyptic events that would accompany the revolution of the proletariat.  Mikhail Bakunin preached the "propaganda of the deed" — political activism by means of bombing and assassination.  Sergei Nechaev was so eager for blood that he began killing his own followers (he was also crazy enough to terrify even Bakunin). Pyotr Tkachev calmly asserted that 10% of the bourgeoisie would have to die following the revolution, a sentiment echoed by none other than Obama's bestie, Bill Ayers.  All this rhetoric came to a head in the next century thanks to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mengistu, and a legion of others, at the cost of 100 million dead or more.  The Age of Massacre could not have occurred without the Left.

Democrats and the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Over the past decade, major media outlets, often aligned with progressive ideologies, have characterized Republicans and conservatives as extreme threats, using terms like "Hitler" or "Nazis."  This rhetoric has been employed to unify a diverse Democrat base that encompasses a wide range of issues and priorities.  Without a common adversary to rally against, the Democrat Party risks internal fragmentation, potentially undermining its electoral success.  However, this strategy of labeling political opponents as existential dangers has contributed significantly to the heightened political division and violence observed today. [...] The Democrat Party has accepted divisive rhetoric, condoned violence, and destroyed the political climate that prioritizes civil discourse.  It has eroded the fabric of American society.

Charlie Kirk and the madness of the left.  Democrats may be historically illiterate, but there's one thing they know:  Hitler is bad, so good people kill Hitler.  Just as the Islamists have been doing, the leftists have created dozens, hundreds, even thousands of lone wolves, all of whom are carefully cultivated time bombs who give the people in the pulpits plausible deniability.  "We didn't tell them to kill.  They decided to do it on their own."  Throw in several thousand mentally ill, heavily medicated, and physically mutilated people who have been assured that they can change their fundamental biological being through will-power and cultural bullying, and you've got a boiling cauldron of murderous rage.  And so Charlie Kirk had to die.

The hypocrisy of liberals hits a new low.  I hate double standards with a passion.  It was perfectly fine for Madonna to say that she wanted to blow up the White House after Donald Trump was elected.  Kathy Griffin held up a model of President Trump's decapitated bloody head.  Juli Briskman flipped off President Trump's motorcade and subsequently won a seat on a county board of supervisors in Virginia.  There were also the infamous pink hats, an attack on a seven-year-old wearing a MAGA hat, and Trump supporters Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders driven out of restaurants.  None of these incidents of violence and hatred caused liberals to turn a hair.

Stop saying "protesters" when you're talking about a mob.  Yesterday [8/6/2018] we all saw the news of what happened when Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk attempted to have breakfast at a restaurant in Philadelphia.  At the time I didn't feel particularly inspired to write anything about it because it just all seemed so predictable at this point.  But I noticed one headline from the Independent in Britain this morning which caught my attention because it contained such an obvious, glaring error in the headline.  "Candace Owens chased out of restaurant by left-wing protesters."  Why are we sticking with this idea that any group of people who decide to gang up on someone they disagree with are "protesters?"

Left-wing mob interrupts Candace Owens' breakfast with primal screams.  Earlier, Ed wrote about Twitter coming after Candace Owens for quoting NY Times hire Sarah Jeong's tweets (but replacing the word "white" with "Jewish").  Twitter apologized after realizing they had helped make Owens' point.  But Owens was involved in some more drama this morning [8/6/2018].  She and fellow Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk were having breakfast at a cafe in Philadelphia when they were surrounded by a screeching mob.

I remember when we called them mobs.  According to a quick dictionary check, a mob is a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence.  In other words, a mob is not a group of people having a serious disagreement over policy.  A mob is not into seriousness but rather than causing trouble.  A mob wants to punch your face rather than hear your opinion.  We call on the media to call this a mob, not a protest.

Journalist calls for profs to drown conservative students.  After conservative activist Charlie Kirk tweeted about conservative students being penalized for their views by professors, a liberal journalist replied that professors should drown the students instead of docking their grades.  Kirk observed that Jesse Farrar must have been joking with his apparent endorsement of waterboarding students to death, but Farrar insisted that "I am not joking."
