Charlie Kirk is on the ballot in 2026, as he should be.

By Tim O’Brien | Commentary, PJ Media The Charlie Kirk assassination upended a lot of the common tenets of politics, not to mention the unsaid rules of a civil society. Not too long ago, it was universally considered taboo to celebrate the death of anyone, yet thanks to social media and the Left, we’ve all seen people we know, people who teach our children and treat our health, dance and sing and celebrate a murder. The vast majority of Americans, usually silent at times like this, are feeling a percolating rage build up. Many everyday Americans have decided to channel this energy by reporting the online murder celebrants to their employers, leading to many getting fired. This is unprecedented, and it’s just the beginning.  Conservatives don’t riot in the streets an...

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. “...

The New Battle Cry: Faith, Freedom, and Resistance to Overreach

By Jeff Childers | Commentary, Coffee & Covid Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! And it’s a C&C special edition. Things are moving faster than we dreamed possible. Yesterday, Florida made the historic announcement that it would end its liberal vaccine exemption program by ditching vaccine mandates altogether. You can’t believe the apocalyptic meltdown the left is having. Let’s dig in to this spectacular story. In Monday’s C&C post, headlined “Pharmapocalypse,” I discussed President Trump’s historic Truth Social post questioning the covid shots — for the first time— and considered the potentially epic implications. Well, it only took two days. Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a story headlined, “Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vacci...

Trump Calls for Transparency: Pfizer Must Share Vaccine Data Immediately

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs." President Donald Trump issued a Labor Day appeal for Pfizer to share its COVID-19 vaccine data with the CDC and the public immediately. Trump said on Truth Social that Pfizer had shown him impressive numbers on its COVID vaccine, but that they had not made them publicly available. His call for transparency comes after the White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez last week following her clash with Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the approval of COVID vaccines.  “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Mi...

Conservative message struggles as Gen Z buys into Democratic narrative

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal A Yale Youth Poll from the spring of 2025 found that voters between the ages of 18 and 21 favored Republican candidates by double digits, which could be a sign that Democrats are finally slipping with America’s younger demographic. The survey revealed that although young people between the ages of 22 and 29 favored the Democratic candidate in their home congressional district for the 2026 election by a margin of about six points, those aged 18 and 21 favored the Republican candidate in their home district by almost 12 points. That’s a massive shift from years past, when younger voters in high school and college were virtually a lock for liberals. Has the left finally gone too far? In a piece outlining the poll ...

CNN’s Harry Enten compares Democrats to Cracker Barrel flop as GOP surges in swing states

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten exposed how badly Democrats are doing in vital swing states on Monday, while lamenting the collapse of their brand, as key voters continue flocking to the Republican Party. Enten initially cited the “Cracker Barrel” rebranding nightmare, which saw the company change their classic logo by removing the “Old Timer” mascot known as Uncle Herschel. The restaurant had a change of heart Tuesday, following pressure from the public and President Donald Trump. Yet that didn’t stop Enten from using the analogy. “The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter, as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers,” he said. “Bad, bad, bad! What are you doin’? ...

Democrats cry “conspiracy” as Trump appoints Heather Honey to DHS election watchdog role

By Shawn Fleetwood | Commentary, The Federalist Election systems expert Heather Honey has been sworn in at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a deputy assistant secretary, leading elections integrity for the Trump Administration, and the left is losing its mind. Honey, a long-time open-source investigator, has spent years analyzing every aspect of how elections are administered, looking for vulnerabilities that leave election systems open to exploitation. Her investigations have led to lawsuits aimed at changing or clarifying election laws in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Maine, and Tennessee, where she helped rewrite election legislation. Honey was the lead investigator on President Trump’s criminal defense team supporting his Jan. ...
