Trump Labels Antifa A Major Terror Threat

By Scott McCallen | Townhall Pres. Donald Trump is designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization, he said on Truth Social on Wednesday night. "I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" The White House confirmed the post. After Kirk's assassination, Trump said that he would find the groups that fund political violence, Townhall's Katie Pavlich posted. “My administration will find each and everyone of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other poli...

Faith under fire: Grief, risk—and the legacy Charlie left behind

By Jen Schumann | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Grief is an ember. Handled well, it can light a thousand torches. Pastor Chris Goble put it plainly—Charlie “died because he was willing to do things that we weren’t”—then pictured that spark rising into a bonfire of new voices. The scene in Orem set the tone, the flight to Phoenix confirmed it—and the work ahead now belongs to those willing to carry the heat without burning out. The cost of courage For Heidi Ganahl, the loss feels like “a gaping hole” in the conservative movement. “Freedom can be dangerous,” she said. “And it took a dear friend’s life.” Goble anchored that grief in scripture, drawing parallels to the early church. “We live in a spiritual cosmic war,” he said. “We have to expect both real and spiritual bulle...

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...

Endorsing Violence Is Not Protected Speech and Employers Know It

By Jordan Boyd | Commentary, The Federalist Celebrating the brutal murder of a civilian lacks morals and requires far more accountability than mere ‘cancel culture’ can afford. As if Americans’ trust in corporate media weren’t eroded enough, Axios set out to further destroy what’s left of it by suggesting that firing the people who cheered on Charlie Kirk’s assassination is of the same magnitude as school shootings and other acts of violence. The egregious comparison, which made its debut in Mike Allen’s AM newsletter, suggests that the tens of thousands of people who were caught cheering and mocking Kirk’s murder didn’t deserve the “unprecedented online hunt … to name, shame and contact” their employers that ensued. Axios is not alone in pretending that statements such as ...

District 49 Staff Disciplined Over Alleged Approval of Charlie Kirk Assassination

By Ashleigh Quintana, KOAA | The Gazette Two staff members at School District 49 are on administrative leave following reports that they approved of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed Wednesday during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem. The suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Thursday night, about 33 hours after the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel told reporters.

According to Gazette new partner KOAA, D-49 said on Friday that the following statement was released to families at The Campus, which includes the Springs Studio for Academic Excellence and the Pik...

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot near site of Charlie Kirk’s murder

By Jerry Dunleavy, Gelet Fragela and Steven Richards | Just the News The group trains gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system. There is at this time no evidence linking the group to Tyler Robinson, Kirk's accused assassin. 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 enc...

After Charlie Kirk’s death Gen Z can’t stay indifferent

By Brooke Brandtjen | Commentary, The Federalist Gen Z isn’t going to tolerate the horrific death of Charlie Kirk. Their whole lives they’ve been told forced tolerance will give them safety. Doubtlessly, a new age has just begun. Most of Gen Z was nothing more than a twinkle in their parents’ eyes when 9/11 occurred. They never lived in a version of America without the Transportation Security Administration or looming terrorist threats. They were born into the aftermath, a world filled with warnings. Don’t play outside unsupervised, don’t take candy from strangers, don’t sit on a bus with your headphones on. Zoomers are well accustomed to a world where safety is the primary concern because threats are always dangling nearby. They were raised in the era of “cancel culture” and c...

Fire Destroys Loveland Family’s Tribute to Charlie Kirk

By KDVR Staff | KDVR Fox 31 LOVELAND, Colo. (KDVR) — Vandals burned a Loveland family’s memorial to Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday, Sept. 10, during a tour event at Utah Valley University. The family is not releasing their location or full names due to concern for their safety. They told FOX31 the vandals set the fence on fire at approximately 11:15 p.m. as five children slept inside the home. “When they burnt that fence, that fire could’ve went into that house and it could’ve really harmed somebody,” said one family friend. The vandals also smashed the back window of the family’s SUV. “It’s the rhetoric, it’s what people are being fed, there’s so much hate in this world and we need to stop,” said the children’s father. Friends ru...
