If you want to know how Charlie Kirk’s people think, and how they got that way, this three-part series tells it all.
Here's the problem: Kirk built that movement with falsehoods.
Here’s the problem: Kirk built that movement with falsehoods. And his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements. Recognizing this does not diminish the awfulness of this act of violence. Nor does it lessen our outrage or diminish our sympathy for his family, friends, and colleagues. Yet if this is an appropriate moment to assess Kirk and issue bold statements about his participation in America’s political life, there ought to be room for a true discussion.

I wonder how long before Alex Jones
declares this whole thing fake, like he did with the Sandy Hook killings.

Gavin Newsom sues Fox News for $787M in defamation case over Trump call
Gavin Newsom is taking a page right out of Donald Trump’s media playbook.
The California governor accused Fox News of defamation in a lawsuit Friday morning, alleging the network should fork over $787 million after host Jesse Watters claimed Newsom lied about his phone calls with Trump, who ordered National Guard troops to Los Angeles this month. Newsom’s lawyers argue Watters’ program misleadingly edited a video of Trump to support the claim.
“If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump’s behalf, it should face consequences — just like it did in the Dominion case,” Newsom told POLITICO in a statement. “Until Fox is willing to be truthful, I will keep fighting against their propaganda machine.”

The situation in LA is only a test
Trump taking over California’s National Guard is testing the waters, finding out just how much his supporters will allow.
The LA law enforcement need to start arresting any ICE agent that enters any premises or residence without a warrant!! ICE does not have the jurisdiction to conduct illegal operations!! Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass should make that statement publicly!! And then every State Governor needs to echo the same!
Here's how much a 'Made in the USA' iPhone would cost
Defending its “reciprocal tariffs,” the White House said President Donald Trump believes the U.S. has the workforce and the resources to build iPhones in the U.S.
Analysts who follow the company say a U.S.-made iPhone is impossible at worst and highly expensive at best.
One analyst estimates that on labor costs alone, an iPhone made in the U.S. could cost 25% more than it does now.
Another analyst pegged the price of a U.S.-made iPhone at $3,500.
