While Americans honor the fallen on 9/11, and the memory of Charlie Kirk one year after his assassination, leftists mock both occasions with laughter and cruel jokes.
President Trump proposes a $5,000 dividend for American adults if the Republicans win in the November midterm elections.
America Remembers Charlie Kirk One Year After Assassination
One year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, conservatives continue honoring his memory. Co-host Blake Neff described Kirk as “special” for moving beyond identifying problems to actively implementing solutions.
Neff highlighted Kirk’s growth as a leader and his impact on the conservative movement, particularly through Turning Point’s work with young people.
Charlie’s focus on practical efforts like ballot chasing and early-voting messaging helped shift key states toward stronger conservative results. Truly a leader and generational talent.
POTUS Proposes $5,000 Citizen Dividend
President Trump proposed an innovative $5,000 dividend for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain Congress in the midterms. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the payments would not come from taxpayer money or add to the deficit.
He pointed to revenue from a planned Trump Platinum Card visa program for wealthy foreigners and unrealized gains on government-held Intel stock. The administration aims to earn the funds through these non-tax sources.
AI Companies Call for Slower Development and Regulation

The push follows reports of a rogue AI cyberattack and growing congressional interest in safeguards.

Utah Governor Raises Concerns Over TikTok Algorithm Control
