FBI: Rifle and writings discovered after fatal attack on Charlie Kirk

By Jeff Tavss | FOX 13 Salt Lake City OREM, Utah — The weapon used in the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was discovered overnight, with the FBI adding that they currently have images of the suspect. During a briefing Thursday, FBI officials said the weapon, a high-powered bolt action rifle, was found in a wooded area, although the exact location was not released. Footprints were also discovered in the wooded area, which are currently being analyzed. CNN reports that phrases "related to cultural issues" were found written on the rifle and ammunition that were discovered in the woods. Among the markings, the outlet said, were initials that law enforcement is using in hopes of matching with a suspect. Authorities said they have viewed ima...

The Left’s Pattern of Political Violence Cannot Be Overlooked

By Mark Hemingway | Commentary, The Federalist Violence has long been weaved into the fabric of the American left, and until we honestly reckon with that, a bleak political future awaits. Yesterday, I was writing a piece on the tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska down in Charlotte that has captured national attention. Before I could finish, news came down the beloved conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been shot at a university in Utah. I’ve been covering politics for a long time, and I can’t say I’ve ever had a story about politically charged violence pre-empted by even more political violence. Nor do I ever want this to happen again. But I was doing my best to Kubler-Ross my way through this — I’ve met Kirk and generally thought highly of him — but I didn’t really snap until I s...

The Courage of a Calling

By Bobbie Daniel | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Twelve years ago, I made my first trip to Washington, D.C. I was expecting my third child at the time, and as I walked through the memorials, the words carved in stone seemed to speak directly to me. At the Jefferson Memorial, I knew I wasn’t alone. At the Lincoln Memorial, I sensed the weight of a calling I couldn’t yet name.  Their words reached across centuries with clarity and conviction, and I remember thinking: people don’t talk like this anymore. Yet something in my soul stirred. God was preparing me, though I didn’t yet know for what. In scripture, the callings of ordinary people are always marked by courage. Moses had to confront Pharaoh with only a staff in his hand. Esther risked her life to plead for her pe...

Former Army Commander Warns America Still Vulnerable 24 Years After 9/11

By Rick Lynch | Commentary, The Daily Wire In order to maintain our freedoms we need a strong military. The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, were a wake-up call for America, and I sincerely hope it is not one we as a nation have forgotten. There are still folks out there who hate our freedoms and our way of life. We are no longer protected by oceans and geographical distance from potential enemies. We must always remember we are a nation at risk and be prepared for the next attack. I do believe in peace through strength. I was the Assistant Division Commander for the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division on the 11th of September in 2001. I was in the middle of packing to head to the airport when my wife Sarah asked me to turn on the television. Those TV images are still etch...

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy of Faith, Courage and Conviction

By Bradley Devlin | Commentary, The Daily Signal “The more a society drifts away from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” Charlie James Kirk knew the cost of telling the truth. Without fear, he paid with his life. He was 31. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 4:40 p.m., President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the “Legendary” Kirk, the conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, was assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University. In this world, he leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two children. Every day, his son and daughter will wake up without their father; every day Erika will wake up without her husband; and every day, they will wake up in a better country because of him. As will I. I first met Charlie at a Turning...

A Nation Mourns: The Unthinkable Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Politics of Silence

By C.J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A national moral collapse. A political crime worse than any before. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk stood at Utah Valley University. He manned his “Prove Me Wrong” table. He invited students to debate. Then a gunshot rang out. He recoiled. He collapsed. He bled. He died. We don’t yet know the full outcome. Some reports say he remains alive but critically wounded. Others say he is dead. If he has died, it is the most disturbing act of political violence in modern American history. Charlie Kirk’s only act was to speak. He didn’t insult. He didn’t riot. He didn’t strike anyone. He offered arguments. He invited discussion. His "crime" was free expression in the public square, in good faith, with those who disagreed with him...

Vermont school wins legal battle after refusing to play male athlete on girls’ team

By Mary Mobley | The Daily Signal A federal appeals court ordered Vermont to let a Christian school compete in state-sponsored sports events—even though the school doesn’t support the state’s view of “transgender” ideology.   That decision allows the school to finally participate in athletics again after suffering a years-long ban for forfeiting a game that would have forced girls on its team to compete against a male playing on the opposing girls’ team.  In an opinion released Tuesday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that state officials likely “displayed hostility toward the school’s religious beliefs” by banning it, and it instructed Vermont to let the school compete while the case continues.  Mid Vermont Christian Scho...

Operation Midway Blitz launched in Chicago to tackle crime crisis

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist DHS says the new effort is in honor of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a hit-and-run car crash earlier this year. A lot of things about Jan. 19, 2025, haunt Joe Abraham’s dreams. But one fact in particular about the way in which his 20-year-old daughter, Katie, was senselessly killed that day in a hit-and run crash keeps him up at night.  “They didn’t just kill Katie. They killed Katie’s kids, Katie’s kids’ kids. Her legacy is no longer there. She has been stopped,” Abraham, of Glenview, Ill., told The Federalist in an interview Monday evening.  You just can’t get past that,” the grieving father added. “Not only did she get a death sentence and we all got a life sentence, but her whole chain has been broken. And the silence [from Illin...
