Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Compared to ‘Nazi Rally’

/11 Comments/in , , /by

Charlie Kirk, the slain conservative political activist, had a memorial service on September 21 at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Streamer Destiny, or Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, who’s also a political commentator, compared it to a Nazi rally, drawing backlash.

“This Charlie Kirk ‘memorial’ is indistinguishable from a Nazi rally,” he said on X. Destiny doubled down on the comparison, sharing a photo of Hitler looking down on troops. The picture was in response to the White House posting a black-and-white photo of President Donald Trump looking on at the gathering in the stadium for Kirk’s memorial service.

Several X users were quick to slam Destiny for the comparison to Nazis, with many pointing out that Kirk’s wife, Erika, made a speech about ‘forgiving’ the suspected shooter – a message aligned to Christian principles rather than Nazism.

One user commented, “’Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do.’ …which Nazi said that?”. Another on X said, “I totally remember that rally where Hitler publicly forgave the plotters who tried to assassinate him and then he called upon them to give their hearts to Jesus.”

Yet another person added, “Yeah, man. I remember that one time when Hitler gave that speech and called on everyone to respond to hate with love. They clapped when he said he loved his enemies and that Germany must be committed to embracing the teachings of Jesus Christ in their hearts.” (Read more from “Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Compared to ‘Nazi Rally’” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A young Republican activist was blocked from a church in Philadelphia by woke activists who formed a human wall to keep him out, according to video footage.

Frank Scales, 22, founder of Surge Philly, shared footage showed a group of activists barring his entry to a town hall with woke Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner last Thursday night at the historic Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Society Hill.

“You’re not coming in. You’re not coming in. Simple as that. You’re not coming into our sacred spaces,” a man outside the 19th-century church holding a bullhorn tells Scales, in footage shared by Surge Philly, a young Republicans group, on Instagram.

Scales, who is white, asks why he can’t come in, to which the man replies, “Because I said you’re not.”

In tense scenes, the man tells Scales, “You’ll see what it means if you come in.” (Read more from “Young Republican Blocked From Entering Church Where Woke DA Was Speaking — as Lefty Activists Formed Human Wall to Keep Him Out”. HERE)

Ryan Routh Tries to Stab Himself With Pen After Being Convicted of Trump Assassination Attempt

/3 Comments/in , /by

Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper’s nest with an assault rifle at one of President Trump’s golf courses, tried to stab himself with a pen in a Florida courtroom Tuesday after he was convicted of attempting to assassinate the then-GOP nominee.

A dramatic scene unfolded as jurors were leaving the courtroom when Routh took a pen and started trying to jab himself in the neck.

Courtroom marshals sprung to action and dragged him out of the room as his daughter, Sara Routh, screamed at her father. “Dad I love you. Don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody,” the daughter yelled.

A few minutes later, Routh was brought back into the courtroom with shackles on. He wasn’t wearing the jacket and tie from earlier and his white shirt didn’t show signs of blood. The judge set his sentencing date for Dec. 18, where he will face up to life in prison.

The jurors took about two hours to find Routh, 59, guilty of five federal charges of attempted assassination, assault on a federal officer and gun crimes following a two week trial in Fort Pierce, Fla. court.

After the verdict was read out, Routh took a pen and stabbed himself in the neck. The extent of his injuries was not immediately clear. (Read more from “Ryan Routh Tries to Stab Himself With Pen After Being Convicted of Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Kolvet announced the numbers via X on Sunday shortly after the memorial closed.

“Our production and streaming partners tracked over 100 million overall streams for today’s tribute to Charlie. This is JUST what they know about. It’s likely much larger. Over 100 million people just heard the Gospel proclaimed again and again by speaker after speaker. Truly remarkable,” he said.

Some users noted that were likely more viewers due to families watching it together.

“It is much larger. Our family visited and we watched it together. Every stream is probably 5-10 people,” said one social media user. (Read more from “Charlie Kirk Producer Andrew Kolvet Claims Memorial Had ‘100 Million Overall Streams’” HERE)

Trump Blasts United Nations for ‘Funding an Assault on Western Countries and Borders’ with Mass Migration

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The United Nations is “funding an assault on Western countries,” President Donald Trump said to the U.N. annual convention on Tuesday.

In his address, the president accused weak western nations of destroying their own countries through mass migration with the U.N. playing a central role.

“The number one political issue of our time [is] the crisis of uncontrolled migration,” he exclaimed. “Your countries are being ruined,” he added. “The United Nations is funding an assault on western countries and their borders.

The president then laid out the material support that the United Nations gave to these invading illegals who flooded border by the hundreds of millions all across the world.

“In 2024, the U.N. budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support… migrants journeying into the United States,” the president said from the podium. “The U.N. also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens on the way to infiltrate our southern border.” (Read more from “Trump Blasts United Nations for ‘Funding an Assault on Western Countries and Borders’ with Mass Migration” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Sparks Outcry Over “Antisemitic” Comments at Charlie Kirk Memorial as New Video Casts Doubt on FBI Narrative

/52 Comments/in , , /by

Tucker Carlson has come under fire following remarks made during a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has stirred political tensions and rampant speculation.

Speaking to a packed crowd at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Carlson appeared to compare Kirk’s death to the crucifixion of Jesus, suggesting both were targeted for speaking uncomfortable truths to power.

“So it’s about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power… and they just go bonkers,” Carlson said. “They become obsessed with making him stop: ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’”

Carlson then added: “I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about — ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.’ And there’s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him?’”

Carlson’s remarks sparked immediate backlash from several Jewish groups and Israeli media outlets, who accused him of promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Critics pointed to his reference to hummus—despite it not being historically accurate to ancient Judea—as a possible allusion to modern Israel:

Carlson has not responded to the allegations, and he did not explicitly name any individual or group in his speech. While the FBI has maintained that the shooting appears politically motivated and was likely carried out by a lone actor, many remain unconvinced.

Online discourse has increasingly centered around the possibility of foreign involvement, with some voices suggesting Israeli interests could have had a motive—though no hard evidence has emerged to support these claims. Nonetheless, the topic has gained traction in certain corners of the media.

Adding to the uncertainty, a new video that began circulating today appears to contradict the FBI’s official timeline and trajectory of the shooting. The footage seems to show that Kirk was shot from a direction inconsistent with the agency’s claims. See below:

Israeli Drone Strike Kills American Family in Lebanon, Lebanese Officials Say

/3 Comments/in , , /by

An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed five civilians on Sunday, including four U.S. citizens — a father and his three children — according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The strike, which also left two people injured, including the children’s mother, has sparked outrage across Lebanon and renewed concerns about escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.

The Israeli military confirmed it conducted the strike, claiming it targeted a Hezbollah militant who was “operating from within a civilian population.” While acknowledging civilian casualties, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it is reviewing the incident.

Lebanese officials say the drone strike occurred in the southern village of Qana, a region that has been repeatedly hit by Israeli strikes in recent months. Although Hezbollah has largely refrained from cross-border fire since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was reached in November, Israel has continued to launch near-daily attacks on what it claims are Hezbollah positions in southern and eastern Lebanon.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed that four of the five people killed held American citizenship. As of Sunday evening, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut had not issued a statement.

The attack comes amid fragile post-war conditions following the monthslong conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which claimed an estimated 4,000 lives in Lebanon and displaced tens of thousands of people. The ceasefire agreement, brokered by the United States in coordination with France and the United Nations, was meant to halt hostilities and begin a phased withdrawal of both Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters from southern Lebanon.

However, Lebanon says Israel has failed to honor the terms of the agreement, maintaining a military presence at five strategic hilltop locations near the border. Hezbollah, for its part, has refused to disarm, citing continued Israeli aggression and a lack of trust in the international monitoring mechanism.

President Joseph Aoun, speaking from New York where he arrived ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, condemned the Israeli strike and called on the international community to pressure Israel to cease its operations in Lebanese territory. He was joined by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in urging full implementation of last month’s agreement aimed at gradually disarming Hezbollah while ensuring Lebanese sovereignty.

By Iran International. 71 members of parliament sent a letter to the Supreme National Security Council and the heads of the three branches of power, urging a “review of the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine,” Iranian media reported Monday.

The lawmakers wrote that the use of nuclear weapons “was the subject of the Supreme Leader’s 2010 fatwa,” but argued that building and stockpiling them “as deterrence is another matter.” (Read more from “Iranian Lawmakers Backing Development of Nuclear Weapons” HERE)

Iran Suspends Cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency

By Al Mayadeen English. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced on Saturday the suspension of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) after the UN Security Council adopted a resolution imposing sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program.

The decision, made during a high-level council meeting, follows the E3’s “politically motivated move” of reimposing nuclear sanctions on Tehran. . . 

Iranian lawmakers have repeatedly warned that any attempt to exploit pressure tactics will be met with a “harsher and more decisive” response than before.

European diplomats have alleged that Iran has yet to take the necessary steps to avert the return of sanctions, while Iranian officials insist the country can withstand renewed pressure. (Read more from “Iran Suspends Cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency” HERE)

U.S. Birth Rates Plummet as Home Prices Surge: Here’s How the Housing Market Is Shaping Family Planning

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. birth rate plunged to an all-time low in 2024 after being on a downward trajectory for roughly 20 years, with soaring housing costs widely cited as a major contributing factor.

Earlier this summer, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated birth data for the previous year, revealing that the nation’s fertility rate decreased to fewer than 1.6 kids per woman, down from 2.1 kids per woman recorded in 2006, which is the rate the country needs to sustain its population.

The last two decades saw women increasingly delaying having children, or choosing not to have them at all. There are many factors fueling this trend, including personal and cultural, and one of them is the rising housing costs, according to some experts.

Data analyzed by Realtor.com® economists show that from 2006 to 2024, the financial burden of purchasing a home has grown dramatically.

In 2006, the median price of a single-family home was $221,923, which translates to about $343,806 in 2024 dollars when adjusted for inflation. By comparison, the median sale price in 2024 was $410,100, more than $66,000 higher in real terms than the 2006 equivalent.
