Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is once again making headlines as he delivered a heartfelt message from the stage of the Kennedy Center during a NewsNation town hall on Wednesday evening. VIDEO AT LINK...................... Fetterman’s words could not have come at a better time. Just over a month ago, the world watched in horror as Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered in broad daylight. Just a year earlier, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had two assassination attempts on his life. And so, as rising political tensions increasingly spill into violence, Fetterman did something few in Washington have even attempted — he tried to...

John Fetterman brings the Kennedy Center to complete silence as he delivers this emotional message on stage: “I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis, they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.” “I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.” “Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.” “It’s like, my...

…Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos. And he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth. And I remember in one of his speeches, He told the audience that the opposite of liberty isn’t law. He said it’s captivity. And that the freest people in the world are those whose hearts belong to Christ… Freedom divorced from faith eventually just destroys itself…

Oxford Union alumni plan to descend on the university city this weekend in an attempt to oust the president-elect.

Ed Markey for his Senate seat in 2026, setting up one of the biggest tests of Democratic voters’ appetite for generational change following the 2024 presidential election.Moulton, who turns 47 this month, is putting age at the center of his announcement, saying in a campaign video to be released Wednesday that Markey is “a good man” but he should nevertheless move on after decades in Congress.“We’re in crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Senator Markey...

A Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) teacher is under fire after shocking allegations surfaced that she labeled a third-grade student an “extremist” and coordinated with a neighbor to spy on him outside of school. Even more disturbing, this is the same teacher who reportedly celebrated the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on social media. In a heartbreaking video testimony shared by Libs of TikTok, a third grader shared his disturbing experience with Donna Javinett, a 3rd-grade teacher at Anasazi Elementary School: “I was a third grader at Anasazi, but in a different class than Mrs. Donna Javinett....

The Presidential Medal of Honor ceremony drew prominent conservatives, including Tucker Carlson and Javier Milei.President Donald Trump and a cast of prominent conservatives paid tribute Tuesday to Charlie Kirk, the activist who was a rising figure on the political right when he was shot and killed last month. Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, comparing the slain 31-year-old podcast host and founder of Turning Point USA to leading figures in history. “Charlie Kirk was a martyr for truth and for freedom,” he said. “From Socrates and Saint Peter, to Abraham Lincoln, to Martin Luther King, those who...

History is not indoctrination — or is it? How many people know that the scriptures were cited by our founders more than Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone combined? Students learn that James Madison is the father of the Constitution, but do they know that he would likely have failed unless he had promised a bill of rights to Pastor John Leland? Does today’s generation realized that the pilgrims were literally a church plant and that the Mayflower Compact was modeled after a church covenant? It's more likely they believe that America was formed under secular influences with just a tiny tip...

Donald Trump refused to let a historic Middle East peace deal delay him from honoring a fallen friend.As White House aides rushed to arrange Trump's last-minute trip to sign the monumental Gaza peace agreement, the President issued one non-negotiable demand: be back by Tuesday, October 14 — what would have been Charlie Kirk's 32nd birthday, the day he's posthumously awarding Kirk the Medal of Freedom.'He's a friend of mine, a friend of all of ours, a friend of all the people right here,' Trump said Friday evening in the Oval Office, vowing to return in time for 'a great celebration'...

Conservative activist Cam Higby was attacked outside Washington’s Union Station this week while attempting to engage in peaceful political discussions. The incident comes as Higby launches his “Fearless Tour,” an effort he says that is inspired by the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated while engaging in similar dialogue. In the viral clip, a woman is first seen kneeling beside Higby, reaching for his MAGA hat. As Higby repeats, “Stop, stop, stop,” the woman, identified as Taylor Forte, grew more aggressive, standing up and trying to rip the hat from his head before knocking him over in his chair. Higby...

During a July 16 episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” on “Real America’s Voice,” Kirk explained that he believes Protestants do not venerate or talk about Mary enough. He said she “is the solution” to “toxic feminism in America.” But let me first say, I think we as Protestants and Evangelicals under-venerate Mary. She was very important. She was a vessel for our Lord and Savior...I think that we, as Evangelicals and Protestants, we've overcorrected. We don't talk about Mary enough. We don't venerate her enough. Mary was clearly important to early Christians. There's something there. In fact, I believe...

Charlie Kirk was killed by a left that feels entitled to silence its enemies, by any means necessary.American conservatives have experienced a range of emotions in recent years, starting with amazement – amazement at the hypocrisy of the left. How many times have we heard that US president Donald Trump’s attempts to reform universities threaten academic freedom? Many of the people making this accusation have run professors out of town for dissenting from campus orthodoxies, whether regarding ‘systemic racism’ or climate change. These new-found free-speech crusaders have required faculty to sign loyalty oaths to the cult of diversity. At best,...

The president and his Maga allies have used the rightwing influencer’s killing to justify attacks on critics, experts sayDonald Trump and Maga allies have capitalized on the killing of rightwing influencer Charlie Kirk to expand attacks on liberal groups, donors, Democrats, and others by tarring many critics as the “enemy within” and “radical left” in a move that legal scholars and historians call authoritarian and anti-democratic. Kirk’s killing by a lone gunman spurred Trump and top allies to quickly launch conspiratorial charges against a bevy of political foes and an investigation of billionaire liberal donor George Soros. They also threatened...
