Wrongful Death Notice Alleges Security Failures Before Charlie Kirk Assassination

By AP | Denver7 Charlie Kirk’s family blames Utah officials and UVU security lapses for his 2025 assassination in a wrongful death notice ahead of a possible lawsuit. Charlie Kirk’s family blamed Utah officials for failing to prevent the conservative activist’s assassination at a state university, in a wrongful death notice announced Wednesday that presages a possible lawsuit. Attorneys for the family said Kirk's death resulted from a string of “reckless decisions” by officials at Utah Valley University that left him exposed to a rooftop sniper, who fired a fatal shot from more than 400 feet away on Sept. 10, 2025. The university has faced harsh criticism for a lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting. Kirk, 31, had been debating students in an outdo...

Vandals Target Charlie Kirk Statue Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters

By Zoe Hussain | New York Post A brand-new statue of slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk was vandalized in Arizona — just days after it was unveiled for the one-year anniversary of his death. The 8-foot statue of Kirk at Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters, as well as a nearby poster memorial in front of the statue, was defaced with red paint overnight Sunday, AZ Family reported. Cops responded to calls about the defaced memorial just after 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement to The Post. The statue was installed on Thursday to mark a year since the 31-year-old TPUSA co-founder was gunned down at an open-mic event at Utah Valley University. Photos from AZ Family showed the red paint smeared over the statu...

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...

Rubio Leads Global Counterterrorism Summit Focused On Violent Political Extremism

By Drew Berkemeyer | The Daily Wire The Secretary of State will be hosting a meeting in an effort to combat the “resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host representatives from more than 60 countries next week for a counterterrorism summit focused on what the Trump administration describes as a resurgence of transnational political extremism, particularly violent far-left networks. The July 15 gathering in Washington follows President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism strategy released earlier this year, which prioritizes disrupting politically motivated violent groups, including anarchist movements and what the administration describes as Antifa-affiliated networks, while also addressing extremists on the political right....

Would Be Trump Assassin Allegedly Driven By Anti America And Anti Trump Fury

By Noah Stanton | Commentary, I Stand for Freedom The distance between a talking point and a trigger pull is shorter than most Americans want to believe. It’s a gap measured not in miles but in repetition — the slow, steady drumbeat of rhetoric that tells an unstable mind the president is a monster, that democracy is dying, that someone has to do something. On April 25th, someone did. Cole Tomas Allen traveled cross-country to the Washington Hilton, checked into a tenth-floor room, and descended to the lobby outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner ballroom carrying a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, a .38 caliber pistol, and multiple knives. Minutes earlier, he’d sent a pre-scheduled email to family and friends — a thousand-word manifesto in which he called himself the “Friend...

Colorado Lawmakers Advance Broad Security Plan Following Nationwide Political Attacks

By Marissa Ventrelli | The Gazette Colorado legislators unveiled a 60‑page bill that would dramatically expand protections for elected officials, staff, and judicial employees, responding to a string of high‑profile attacks nationwide and growing safety concerns inside the state’s courthouses and Capitol. Introduced earlier this week, House Bill 1422 contains nearly 30 sections. Among those provisions is the establishment of an Administrator of Legislative Safety, a law enforcement officer who would serve as a point of contact for members and employees of the General Assembly to discuss matters of personal safety and work alongside the Colorado State Patrol. Because the bill was introduced without a fiscal note, its potential cost to the state remains unknown...

Gunman’s Manifesto Reveals Motive Behind White House Dinner Shooting

By Steven Nelson and Chris Nesi | The New York Post Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a sprawling, crazed manifesto to family members about 10 minutes before Saturday’s attack, sources told The Post. The 1,052-word missive obtained by The Post Sunday morning — signed Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” — outlined his “rules of engagement” for the shooting and stated he believed it was his righteous duty to target administration officials. Cole Allen’s manifesto in full: Hello everybody! So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it ...

This is the real insurrection

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice What has happened to people in America? We have a contingent of people supporting and praising the law breakers.  Let’s call it what it is: insurrection. Just five years ago this month, the left branded patriotic protestors at the nation’s capital as “insurrectionists.”   None of the protestors there that day were obstructing justice. None of them were standing in the way of enforcing the nation’s laws. No one on that day was attacking law enforcement officers, pummeling them with bricks or frozen water bottles, or for that matter, ramming them with cars. And not a single one was charged with insurrection. Today officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are attacked and harassed rele...

Accused Charlie Kirk Assassin Smirks in Court as Transparency Fight Heats Up

By: Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart Tyler Robinson, the Utah man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, smirked Thursday during his first in-person court appearance since his September arrest. Footage of the 22-year-old sitting in the Provo court shows him sport a smile while speaking with his attorney: https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1999196198150816109?s=20 “Zero remorse,” wrote Jack Posobiec, a close friend of Kirk’s: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1999199003464831101?s=20 Robinson was granted permission to wear street clothes instead of a typical prison jumpsuit before the judge, but his request to ditch the shackles was denied, Fox News noted in its coverage. He is facing charges of aggravated murder, felony us...
