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. “...

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...

Stephen Miller Says Charlie Kirk Urged Him To Dismantle The Radical Left

By Ross O’Keefe | Washington Examiner White House adviser Stephen Miller says the late Charlie Kirk’s last message to him was to “dismantle” the radical left. Miller says that he will oblige with Kirk’s request. “The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me … we are gonna do that,” Miller told Fox News. Miller said he and the administration would “do what it takes” to punish the radical left. He said they could use RICO or conspiracy charges to punish chosen individuals. An assassin shot and killed Kirk earlier this week as he spoke to a group of college students at a Ut...

Colorado Political and Civic Leaders Denounce Assassination of Charlie Kirk

By Ernest Luning | The Gazette Colorado elected officials and political groups expressed grief, outrage and resolve against political violence in reaction to the fatal shooting of conservative organizer and nonprofit leader Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at Utah Valley University. “Today is a really hard day,” said U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Windsor Republican who described Kirk as her friend in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington. “I do not believe that Charlie’s life being stolen in this manner is in vain. Charlie is a pioneer,” Boebert said, adding that the word carries a weighty meaning for Christians. Kirk “personified this word,” she said. “It is one who pioneers a way, who makes a way for others to follow — maybe not the originator of the thin...
