Tyler Robinson Emotionless, Wearing ‘Suicide Smock’ in First Virtual Court Appearance Since Charlie Kirk Assassination

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. Tyler Robinson appeared on video from his Utah prison cell for a virtual hearing before District Judge Tony Graf early Tuesday evening, looking emotionless in a green “suicide smock,” and not speaking except to state his name.

The suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk stared blankly ahead as the judge read out the seven charges against him, sporting slightly mussed locks, several days’ worth of facial hair, and wearing a vest similar to the one he wore in his released mug shot.

Judge Graf said the court determined Robinson, 22, was “indigent,” and therefore had been appointed an attorney.

Robinson nodded slightly several times throughout the 10-minute hearing, including as the judge said he would remain in custody without bail.

Prosecutor Chad Grunander said the state had filed a pre-trial protective order on behalf of Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, which Judge Graf accepted. The reason for the request was not immediately known.

Tyler Robinson Grew ‘More Pro-Gay and Trans-Rights-Oriented,’ Mom Told Cops as Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged, Could Face Firing Squad

By New York Post. Tyler Robinson had grown “more pro-gay and trans-rights-oriented” in the past year, his mother told cops in new details revealed Tuesday — as the accused Charlie Kirk assassin was hit with charges that could land him in front of a firing squad.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray called Kirk’s killing “an American tragedy” as he provided more stunning details about the role Robinson’s parents played in his surrender while speaking at a press conference.

The developments came as the seven state charges were announced against Robinson, a 22-year-old with a trans boyfriend — including the top rap of aggravated murder, which qualifies for the death penalty in Utah.

Gray said he would in fact seek Robinson’s execution, which could be by firing squad under Utah law.

“The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy” Gray told reporters at the Utah County Health & Justice Building in Provo. (Read more from “Tyler Robinson Grew ‘More Pro-Gay and Trans-Rights-Oriented,’ Mom Told Cops as Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged, Could Face Firing Squad” HERE)

Read the Chilling Text Exchange Between Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin and His Trans Lover

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tyler Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, a biological male that identified as transgender who was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, provided evidence including a series of text messages from Robinson on September 10, 2025.

Prosecutors say Twiggs received a text message from Robinson which said, “drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.”

Twiggs looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”

Police found a photograph of this note. Prosecutors say the following text exchange then took place: After reading the note, Twiggs responded, “What?????????????? You’re joking, right????”

Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

Roommate: you weren’t the one who did it right???? (Read more from “Read the Chilling Text Exchange Between Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin and His Trans Lover” HERE)

Democrats Said Thoughts And Prayers Won’t Stop Leftist Violence, So Here Are Some Ideas

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, after an assassin fatally shot conservative organizer Charlie Kirk in the throat while he spoke at a campus event in Utah, the reaction on the left was twofold. Online and in the real world, some celebrated Kirk’s death and said, in so many words, that he had it coming. Others issued statements, mostly vanilla, decrying “political violence” and expressing sympathies for Kirk’s family. A few said they were “praying.” Many conspicuously didn’t, instead blandly saying their “thoughts” were with Kirk and his family.

The compulsory statements ring pretty hollow for a few reasons. For starters, “thoughts” is a meaningless replacement for the act of petitioning God Almighty for comfort and healing. They’re coming from people who regularly vilified Kirk and his allies, using the same kind of inflammatory language Kirk’s killer engraved on the casings of his bullets. But it has also become obvious how much disgust many on the left have for prayer — so it’s weird to watch them play-act at an impotent secularized version of it, let alone the real thing.

Recall just two weeks ago, after a transgender shooter opened fire on Catholic schoolchildren in church, heartbroken Christians offered their prayers for the victims and their families. Prominent leftists excoriated them, mocking the prayers of not just horrified onlookers but the very prayers spoken by the victims before they were shot.

To mock our prayers as insufficient was a convenient way to redirect the conversation about the Minneapolis shooting toward the left’s favorite talking point in times of tragedy, gun control (certainly not the rising crisis of transgender violence). They told us prayer was not enough and that something had to be done to stop such tragedies from happening again.

The past week has proved them wrong and (kind of) right. It’s more obvious than ever how much our prayers are needed. Nothing in the world can comfort Mrs. Charlie Kirk better than her Lord and Savior, as I imagine she’s acutely aware. No power less than Christ can win over the souls of those who have gleefully cast their lot with evil and boasted of it on the internet. We should all be in constant and fervent prayer for Kirk’s loved ones to be comforted, for the hearts of those who hate him to be turned from evil, and for justice and virtue to govern the civic life we share with those who hate us. Even now, we’ve seen God in His abundant mercy use Kirk’s death to soften the hearts of strangers toward Christianity. Praise God for that, pray for more to hear and believe, and pray for faithful disciples to share the Gospel as prolifically as Kirk did.

George Zinn, Elderly Rabble-Rouser Who Falsely Claimed He Shot Charlie Kirk, Is Hit With Child Porn Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

The elderly rabble-rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities’ response after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot is now accused of keeping “graphic” sexual photos of children on his phone, according to law enforcement.

George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Monday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old, at least partially naked and “posing” in a “sexual” way, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Tuesday.

“Zinn admitted … that he gets sexual gratification from viewing and sharing [child sexual abuse material] images with others, and that his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old,” the agency alleged.

Zinn, who is a political “gadfly,” is also facing a charge of obstruction of justice after he allegedly admitted to screaming that he shot Kirk on a Utah college campus Wednesday in a bid to help the actual shooter get away.

He was quickly taken into custody at Utah Valley University with that detention paving the way for the child porn charges, the sheriff’s office said. (Read more from “George Zinn, Elderly Rabble-Rouser Who Falsely Claimed He Shot Charlie Kirk, Is Hit With Child Porn Charges” HERE)

UN Inquiry Finds Top Israeli Officials Incited Genocide in Gaza

/0 Comments/in , /by

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded on Tuesday that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu incited these acts – accusations that Israel called scandalous.

The U.N. report, issued as Israel announced the start of a ground operation in Gaza City, cites examples of the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic to back up its genocide finding, adding its voice to a scholars’ association and rights groups that have reached the same conclusion.

“Today we witness in real time how the promise of ‘never again’ is broken and tested in the eyes of the world. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a moral outrage and a legal emergency,” Navi Pillay, head of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and a former International Criminal Court judge, told a Geneva press briefing.

“The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons who have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza.”

Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who was also named in the report, condemned its findings, which he said misinterpreted his words. (Read more from “UN Inquiry Finds Top Israeli Officials Incited Genocide in Gaza” HERE)

FBI’s Dan Bongino Won’t Rule Out Wider Conspiracy in Charlie Kirk Assassination: ‘We’re Looking Into Everything’

/0 Comments/in , /by

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is refusing to rule out the possibility that there was a wider conspiracy to assassinate Charlie Kirk that went beyond Tyler Robinson, the man alleged to have murdered Kirk last Wednesday.

Bongino’s comments came during a Monday morning interview on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer that began with Hemmer asking if “anyone” in the crowd assembled at Utah Valley University assisted Robinson.

“Well, that’s what we’re looking into now, Bill. Obviously we have a suspect in custody, it’s quite clear, that’s why I’m here discussing this individual. However, if this was a larger effort, there was any aiding and abetting, whether it be financial, whether it be someone who knew the specifics of it and failed to report that. As you heard the director say this morning, we as an FBI, our team, along with our state and local partners are looking into that,” answered Bongino before continuing:

We have a lot of technical capabilities, a lot of good investigative capabilities where we can scrub that entire network, whether it’s OSINT, open source intel through social media that people posted publicly. We’ll be looking at that. We’ll also be dropping a lot of paper, a lot subpoenas out there to take a look to see if there was any extended network.

But I want to be clear, there are things I can say, as you well know today, and things I can’t. I don’t want to get ahead or jeopardize the investigation. But what I can share with you, Bill, I will. We are clinging to transparency here. This is, you know, the era of the Cronkite and Jennings generation is over. New media now is media. And we want to be sure we can do everything in our power and do everything in our power to share what we can, when we can while still balancing the needs of the investigation.

FBI Director Claims “No Credible Information” Epstein Trafficked Minors to Others, Despite Pending Federal Sex Trafficking Charges at Time of Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

FBI Director Kash Patel told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that the bureau has found “no credible information” that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked underage girls to anyone but himself.

Patel’s testimony — which came during a contentious hearing already mired in controversy — effectively attempted to shut the door on one of the most disturbing and unresolved criminal sagas of the 21st century. And in doing so, it raised serious questions about the integrity of the FBI’s leadership, its independence, and its commitment to accountability for the powerful.

Let’s be clear: Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted pedophile, and he died while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Dozens of survivors have alleged for years — in court documents, media interviews, and sworn testimony — that Epstein operated not alone, but as part of a sprawling, high-powered trafficking network that extended deep into the elite circles of finance, media, and politics. Flight logs, photographs, and sealed deposition transcripts have repeatedly pointed to the involvement of other men — many of whom have never faced public questioning, let alone criminal charges.

To dismiss all of this as lacking “credible information” is not only professionally negligent — it’s morally repugnant.

Tuesday’s hearing, ostensibly convened to review the FBI’s handling of the investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, quickly spiraled into a broader critique of Patel’s leadership. At the center of the firestorm was his handling of the Epstein case — and, more pointedly, the Department of Justice’s decision earlier this year to quietly end its review of the matter.

Patel’s argument, laid out before skeptical senators, was that the FBI’s ability to build a broader case was limited due to the actions of a Florida U.S. attorney two decades ago — a reference to the now-infamous 2008 sweetheart plea deal Epstein received under then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. That deal shielded Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators from prosecution, but it has since been widely condemned as a gross miscarriage of justice.

But Patel didn’t stop at blaming the past. He insisted that “all credible information” the bureau has on Epstein has now been released — a claim that rings hollow to many, particularly in light of the bureau’s refusal to declassify additional documents and its failure to pursue leads implicating other powerful men.

Worse, Patel’s remarks seem designed not to seek the truth, but to quell rising public anger among Trump supporters who expected more aggressive action — and exposure — surrounding Epstein’s network.

As if to underline the political nature of the hearing, Patel also used the opportunity to defend his decision to fire dozens of veteran FBI agents, many of whom had been involved in high-profile investigations into Trump’s conduct. One former agent, Christopher Meyer, issued a statement ahead of the hearing, asserting that his loyalty was to the Constitution, “not to any political party, ideal, or narrative.” Another former official accused Patel of saying privately that his job “depended on expelling” those who had investigated the former president.

Meanwhile, Patel has come under fire for prematurely — and inaccurately — claiming that Kirk’s alleged assassin had been captured, a misstep that law enforcement officials say could have jeopardized the investigation. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was not apprehended until a full day later.

Americans deserve a full, transparent investigation — not political theater, not half-truths, and certainly not dismissive pronouncements from officials more concerned with party loyalty than with the truth.

Report: Charlie Kirk Rejected Netanyahu’s Funds, ‘Frightened’ of Israel Lobby Before Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Trump insider and long-time friend of murdered [conservative] influencer Charlie Kirk has told the Grayzone that Kirk’s burgeoning change of heart on Israeli influence over US politics provoked a backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and ‘frightened’ of the Israel lobby after a seeming Israeli spying operation was uncovered.

According to [an unverified] source close to Kirk, Kirk rejected a huge offer of cash from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this year for his ‘Turning Point USA’ (TPUSA), believed Netanyahu was trying to bring him to heel after he began to raise public questions over Israel’s “overwhelming influence in Washington” and had begun to “loathe” Netanyahu and his influence over Donald Trump’s appointments and decisions, which had led to Kirk warning Trump against attacking Iran to please Israel.

Kirk’s new-found recognition of Israel’s influence led to him becoming the target of a “sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu”, and Kirk was frightened:

Kirk tried to underline his commitment to Israel, making a series of comments about the consistency and resoluteness of his devotion, but even the least criticism of Israel’s actions generated a mass backlash, as did his decision to host Dave Smith, a comedian and political commentator who has become increasingly critical of Israel during its genocide in Gaza, in a debate Kirk organised. As the Grayzone reported:

“He was being told what you’re not allowed to do, and it was driving him crazy,” Kirk’s friend recalled. The conservative youth leader was not only alienated by the hostile nature of the interactions, but “frightened” by the backlash.

The friend’s account dovetails with those of multiple right-wing commentators with access to Kirk. “I think, in the end, Charlie was going through a spiritual transformation,” Candace Owens, a conservative influencer who shifted decisively against Israel after October 7, reflected after her friend’s killing. “I know it, he was going through a lot. There was a lot of pressure, and it’s hard for me to watch the people who were pressuring him just say the things that they’re saying.”

Want To Honor Charlie Kirk’s Legacy? Emulate His Moral Courage

/0 Comments/in , /by

I talked to a friend recently about courage, and he made what I thought was a really profound point worth thinking about in depth: Not all courage is the same. For example, there is moral courage and physical courage.

Physical courage is the soldier who braves the hail of bullets to complete his mission or to save his brother-in-arms. It is the fireman who risks his life to run into a burning building to save people who might otherwise die without his help. It is the mother who instinctively shields her child from danger using her own body. . .

But there is another type of courage that we don’t often recognize and praise, and that is moral courage. Moral courage is hard to depict in a mural or a statue. A monument to men planting a flag at Iwo Jima just seems more dramatic than someone calmly standing up and speaking the truth at a school board meeting, or telling a friend his behavior is ungodly, or internally vowing to no longer silently abide the lies of a culture that tells you boys can become girls or unborn babies aren’t people. . .

In our lives, however, we have the opportunity to practice and display moral courage every single day and in everything we do. Raising your children to do good and hate evil is morally courageous. Publicly objecting to false doctrines spread by wicked messengers is morally courageous. Stopping what you are doing and praying to Christ when you feel hopeless and helpless is morally courageous.

Standing up before a culture that hates God and hates good and revels in evil is morally courageous. Risking your job and livelihood to speak the truth and reject lies is morally courageous. (Read more from “Want To Honor Charlie Kirk’s Legacy? Emulate His Moral Courage” HERE)

Trump Warns Governor’s ‘Shocking’ Endorsement Could Have Consequences

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump blasted Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday morning for her endorsement of avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor.

The most recent polling shows Mamdani is leading by a wide margin against disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Hochul finally threw her support behind Mamdani, a current New York State assemblyman and former rapper, on Sunday evening after months of hesitation.

“Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘Liddle’ Communist,’ Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen?” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “Washington will be watching this situation very closely.”

The president added that there is “no reason to be sending good money after bad,” seemingly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York. (Read more from “Trump Warns Governor’s ‘Shocking’ Endorsement Could Have Consequences” HERE)
