It was a devastating week—not only for America, but also for the broader free world.
We lost a great American, as well as a truly wonderful person, a husband, and a father of two small daughters.
While we will discuss some of the other happenings in the country, this week’s coverage will focus mainly on Charlie. May he rest in peace, and may he continue to guide us from Heaven, with God at his side.
Never stop smiling, Charlie. You will remain in our hearts, and we will carry on your dream.
The Assassination of Charlie Kirk
On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, influential and beloved conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. The outdoor event took place at the university’s amphitheater. As Charlie engaged with an audience question, a bullet struck him in the neck. He later died while receiving medical care.
Charlie’s death has shaken not only the very foundation of this country, but also people across the world.
The alleged shooter was taken into police custody on Friday, September 12, 2025. He is a 22-year-old man who appears to be radically left-leaning and in a relationship with a biological male identifying as a trans woman. Bullet casings from Charlie’s murder were found to have radical leftist messages on them, such as “Hey fascists! Catch!” and “Bella Ciao,” referencing a song that is apparently an anthem of the Antifa terrorist network.
In typical leftist fashion, prominent (and not-so-prominent) figures either celebrated Charlie’s assassination or tried to shift the blame to Republicans. We don’t feel like focusing on these freaks now, but some examples can be viewed here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. These are only a few examples—it is all over the internet. They are not even trying to hide their joy at the death of an innocent man whose only “crime” was speaking freely, which is no crime at all.
What we will focus on, to a limited extent, is the monumental love, support, and reverence that has poured in for Charlie and his family from around the world. It is truly something to behold and shows the love and inspiration that Charlie brought to countless people in his brief 31 years on this Earth.
The World Mourns for Charlie
Shining brighter than the hatred of the sizeable, rabid, but still minority leftist fringe is the love, support, and unity of freedom- and humanity-loving normal people around the world.
In America, stars such as Chris Pratt, Joe Rogan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Candace Cameron Bure, Kristin Chenoweth, Jake Paul, Piers Morgan, Josh Duhamel, Lindsay Arnold, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Kid Rock, and many others expressed their grief for Charlie’s death, as well as their unwavering love and support for his family and loved ones. Country star Lee Brice also dedicated his new song, “When Kingdom Comes,” to Charlie’s memory.
Star athletes such as Harrison Butker (NFL), Brett Favre (former NFL), Le’Veon Bell (Boxing, former NFL), Blake Treinen (MLB), Austin Dillon (NASCAR), and Christopher Bell (NASCAR), among many others, also paid tribute to Charlie and his family. At various NFL football games from Thursday to Sunday, tributes and moments of silence were made in Charlie’s honor.
Memorials and candlelight vigils were organized in many locations across the country, including Texas Tech University, Arizona State University, Utah State University, and towns and cities such as West Des Moines, Plymouth, Dublin (Ohio), Georgetown, and Washington, D.C., just to name a few.
Contrary to what the grotesque leftists want us to think, many prominent Black leaders and influencers paid tribute to Charlie on social media. Among them were Terrence K. Williams, CJ Pearson, Xaviaer DuRousseau, Sage Steele, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-VA), and Congressman Wesley Hunt (R-TX).
In Europe, vigils and memorials were organized in London, Madrid, Berlin, and Rome. By Saturday, London’s memorial grew to tens of thousands of attendees. Sadly, the leftist media again reverted to their “far-right rally” spins. They simply can’t help themselves. But I digress.
World leaders expressed grief and love for Charlie, sharing kind words on his impact for freedom, especially among the youth. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentinian President Javier Milei, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and even leftists like the UK’s Keir Starmer offered thoughts of love, prayer, and condolences for Charlie and his family.
President Donald Trump was the first to announce Charlie’s death to the world. In addition to posting the tragic news on Truth Social in a heartfelt and gut-wrenching message, he made a live statement expressing his grief and love for Charlie, condemning the hate that made this assassination possible, and declaring that Charlie’s movement will live on and be more powerful than ever before. Pronouncing Charlie as “legendary” and a “martyr,” the President ordered all flags lowered to half-mast across the nation in Charlie’s honor.
Charlie’s wife, Erika Kirk, gave an emotional and beautiful tribute to her husband on Friday night. She vowed to carry on his legacy, strengthen his movement, and encouraged the rest of us to join, continue, and push this cause to new heights. Less than 24 hours after her address, Turning Point USA—Charlie’s and now Erika’s political organization—received 18,000 new chapter requests across the country.
Whether or not you are among the applicants, we must all stay involved for freedom, democracy, God, and family in one way or another. Let’s answer the call—for Charlie, his family, our own families, and for freedom in America and around the world.
Rest easy, Charlie. You’re with God now. We’ll take it from here.
John Fetterman Tells Fellow Democrats to STOP Comparing Trump to Hitler
Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat known for occasional common sense, urged his party on CNN’s Inside Politics to stop falsely labeling President Trump as an authoritarian ruler or “autocrat,” emphasizing that Trump was democratically elected.
He criticized the dangerous rhetoric comparing Trump to figures like Hitler, noting that it inflames tensions and is simply untrue. Fetterman highlighted the need to lower the political temperature, referencing the shooting of Charlie Kirk as a consequence of such extreme language.
Representing Pennsylvania, he stressed that disagreeing with Democrats does not make Americans fascists or enemies of the Constitution.
Leftist Media Gets Ripped for Covering Up Fatal NC Stabbing
Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian woman, was tragically stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail on August 22, 2025. The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., a repeat criminal with 14 arrests since 2011 for armed robbery, felony larceny, and other charges, was charged with first-degree murder.
Despite clear evidence of this horrific attack, the leftist media made no mention of it for weeks.
Prominent figures, including Sen. Ted Cruz, Elon Musk, and Nayib Bukele, criticized major media outlets such as NPR, CNN, and The New York Times for their coordinated silence on the incident, ignoring a story that didn’t align with their leftist narrative.
Video footage showed Brown attacking Iryna with a pocketknife after she boarded the train and sat in front of him, in a brutal act that ended her life.
Public outcry highlighted frustration with what many saw as a longstanding pattern of media suppression of information deemed inconvenient to Democrat agendas.
Iryna was a Ukrainian refugee who fled Kyiv in August 2022 following Russia’s invasion. She relocated with her family to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kamala Harris Self-Owns Again with Admission and Denial in Same Thought
Kamala Harris, in her memoir 107 Days, admits to knowing Joe Biden was unfit to run for reelection and calls her silence “recklessness,” only to contradict herself by insisting Biden was capable and knowledgeable.
She describes “months of growing panic” over Biden’s decline in the White House, revealing a cover-up of his frailty, yet claims there was no incapacity. In addition to this self-own, she spent $1.5 billion on her campaign and still lost.
Not only had she failed to distance herself from Biden, but the hardest part might have been distancing herself from her own self-destructiveness. Her incoherent narrative and inability to present a cohesive defense highlight that the Democrats are in real trouble.
Gov. Sarah Sanders Orders National Guard Troops to Support ICE in Arkansas
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has ordered up to 40 unarmed National Guard troops to assist ICE agents with clerical and transportation duties, enhancing public safety. The work of ICE agents is supported by Sanders’ Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which imposes stricter penalties on illegal migrants who commit crimes.
This executive action aligns with President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies and reinforces Arkansas’ commitment to secure borders. The order also expands state cooperation with ICE and bans sanctuary policies in unincorporated areas and counties.
BLS Revises Job Numbers from March 2024-2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has revised U.S. job growth downward by 911,000 positions for the 12 months ending in March 2025—the largest such adjustment on record. The revision shows that monthly gains averaged just over 70,000, rather than the initially reported 147,000.
This exposes a weaker labor market across industries such as retail, hospitality, and manufacturing, recasting the economy President Trump inherited as far less robust than previously portrayed by overstated data.
Trump’s commitment to transparency is evident in his recent dismissal of BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and his nomination of economist E.J. Antoni to overhaul the agency’s methods and restore trust in economic reporting.
With unemployment at 4.3 percent in August—the highest in nearly four years—and recent job additions slowing to 22,000, the data vindicates Trump’s longstanding calls for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts to address miscalibrated policy and support recovery.
POTUS Tells NATO Stop Buying Russian Oil
President Trump has informed NATO member nations via letter that he is prepared to impose major sanctions on Russia to pressure it to end the war in Ukraine, contingent on all allies first halting purchases of Russian crude oil and implementing their own sanctions.
Trump expressed frustration with NATO’s lack of full commitment to victory and emphasized the need for unified action. He proposed tariffs of 50% to 100% on China—Russia’s key oil buyer—to weaken Moscow’s economic grip, with tariffs to be lifted after the war.
Having demonstrated patience and good faith in pursuing peace, including a recent summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump now recognizes Putin’s true intentions amid escalating aggression. In a Fox News interview, Trump stated his patience with Putin is “running out fast,” signaling a firm shift to a hard-line stance against Russia.
