The Decisiveness Weapon: Charlie and the Truth Factory 

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I sit quietly this morning, rather than a nursery rhyme, a children's tale keeps illuminating my imagination: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with three injuries weighing upon my soul. Yesterday marked one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Today marks twenty-five years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. And here at home, my wife, Sherrie, has spent more than 300 days bedridden. While being treated for glioblastoma, she was dropped on her head during hospital care, suffering injuries that left her unable to walk. One injury is political and cultural. One is national and collective. One is deeply personal. Each has brought pain. Each has produced loss. And each places the same question before the...

Same question, different answers: Google’s AI on Kirk, King and Kennedy

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death, I asked my iPhone three questions: How old was Charlie Kirk when he was assassinated? How old was Charlie Kirk when he was murdered? How old was Charlie Kirk when he died? The first two of these questions stumped Google. Rather than respond with Kirk's age at his death, Google's response was: Charlie Kirk—date of death Sept. 10, 2025. Only on question number three did Google respond: Charlie Kirk—31 years old. On the day I asked, Google would not tell me Kirk's age when I framed his death as an assassination or a murder. Merriam-Webster knew Kirk had been assassinated. It defines "assassinate" as "to murder (especially a politically important person) by s...

A year after Charlie Kirk’s death, have we forgotten what came next?

By Tori Stork (Ganahl) | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was killed. It still feels strange to write those words. I’ve spent a lot of today thinking about Charlie—not just the person the world knew, but the 21-year-old who called me out of nowhere when I was a college student at the University of Oregon. The guy who flew to Eugene, spent months helping our little group of students (mostly in disguise so no one would recognize him), strategized with us in my Jeep, drilled us on messaging and quoted Scripture from memory. Charlie believed in people before most of the world knew their names. He believed in me before I really believed in myself. Years later, after Turning Point had become a national force and millions of people competed f...

All Seven Charges Move Forward In Charlie Kirk Assassination Case

By Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire Tyler Robinson's attorneys entered not guilty pleas on his behalf to all charges. A Utah Judge ruled Tuesday that Tyler Robinson will stand trial on all seven charges in the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, leaving him eligible for the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder.

By Michael Gryboski | The Christian Post Officials violated student's First, Fourth and 14th Amendment rights.

Per the settlement, the board of education agreed to pay $95,000 in assorted fees...
