Violence tied to transgender ideology grows harder to ignore

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal An increasing number of alleged murderers, mass shooters, and violent offenders have apparently tried to silence Christians or critics of transgender ideology, acting on the assumption that those who disagree with transgender claims represent a violent threat. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk only underscores this unnerving trend, and makes the case for the FBI to formally characterize the threat of transgender ideology violent extremism. The Oversight Project and The Heritage Foundation formally called on the FBI Thursday to use its authority under 18 U.S. Code § 2331 to designate this threat, and I wholeheartedly agree. The FBI declined to comment on the subject when approached Friday. That statute defines&...

President Trump team outlines crackdown on left-wing NGOs with ties to violence after Kirk assassination

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal The Trump administration will only investigate left-wing groups with a provable tie to violence following the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, an administration official told The Daily Signal. The focus of investigations will be Antifa-like groups involved in the online conspiracy to assassinate Turning Point USA founder Kirk on Sept. 10, the source said. This comes after Vice President JD Vance and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday discussed plans to “go after” leftist nongovernmental organizations due to Kirk’s killing. “We’re going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates, and engages in violence,” Vance said. “We are going to channel all of the anger that we hav...

ABC Drops Jimmy Kimmel After Cruel Joke About Charlie Kirk

By Rob Bluey | Commentary, The Daily Signal Jimmy Kimmel is off the air. Good riddance. The vile and disgusting ABC late-night host used his Monday night monologue to make this comment about Charlie Kirk’s assassin (emphasis added): “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Yes, you read that correctly. And to make matters worse, Kimmel then proceeded to play a video mocking President Donald Trump and suggesting that he wasn’t grieving over Kirk’s death. This is apparently the sad and pathetic state of late-night comedy in 2025. It’s no wonder Americans are turning off has-been comedi...

Sen. Lee seeks to reinstate safeguard against domestic propaganda

By Jacob Adams | The Daily Signal Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is calling on Congress to pass the Charlie Kirk Act, which would restrict the broadcasting of federally funded programming intended for foreign audiences within America’s borders. The Utah senator posted on the social media platform X on Sunday, declaring, “Domestic, political, government-funded propaganda must end now,” and explaining that he would be reintroducing legislation intended to restore the original Smith-Mundt Act, renamed in honor of Charlie Kirk, the conservative leader who was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.  Kirk’s slaying—and legacy—have become the subject of public debate with misleading or outright false claims made about the Turnin...

JD Vance Urges Faith and Boldness in Tribute to Charlie Kirk

By Lorenzo Prieto | The Daily Signal During these dark hours after the death of Charlie Kirk, Americans need to “have faith” in the Lord and “be bold,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday while hosting a special episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show.” “On a podcast a couple of months back, Charlie was asked about how he’d want to be remembered if he died. His answer: ‘I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith.’ And that was Charlie,” Vance said. “And in this dark moment for our country, I think that’s the greatest lesson any of us can take from Charlie. To have faith.” The vice president then explained that the best way to honor Kirk’s legacy is “to be bold in our pursuits,” as Kirk was in life. “...

Schools tell students not to cheat—yet cheat by rebranding DEI to keep race-based ideology alive

By Jonathan Butcher, Mike Gonzalez | Commentary, The Daily Signal It’s back-to-school season, and some teachers have promised that the racist ideas from diversity, equity, and inclusion would not be in their classrooms this year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many of these teachers and administrators are clearly telling whoppers. In fact, K-12 schools and colleges around the country are disguising their DEI offices and their racial preferences. Take Maryland, across the border from the nation’s capital and where many federal bureaucrats sleep and send their children to school. State education officials said schools would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders calling on schools to reject DEI, citing the ways in which DEI...

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...

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...

Transgender offender threatened girls in bathrooms and plotted attacks on schools and churches

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal What if I told you a man who identifies as a “transgender woman” threatened to victimize girls in girls’ bathrooms, shoot up schools, and bomb churches? Would that make you more likely to support efforts to investigate whether some people who identify as transgender pose a terrorist threat? Most Americans haven’t heard the name of Jason Lee Willie, a man who identifies as female and goes by the name Alexia, but his case highlights the unnerving possibility that many people who identify as transgender may pose a violent threat to their fellow Americans. Americans are more familiar with the man identifying as a woman who killed two and injured 17 at a Minneapolis Catholic school last month before taking his own life....

Across America States Pass New Election-Integrity Laws to Safeguard Ballot Measures

By Tom Joyce | The Daily Signal THE CENTER SQUARE—The Honest Elections Project says states made significant gains on election integrity laws in 2025. A new report from the group says eight states banned foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns this year, bringing the national total to nine. Six states also banned ranked choice voting in 2025, bringing the total to 17. Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead said states are responding to threats that undermine voter confidence. “In 2025, states across the country took extraordinary steps to ban the foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns and ranked choice voting, two of the biggest threats to election integrity and voter confidence facing the nation, and they did so in record numbers,” Snead said in a stateme...
