Charlie Kirk Murder: Accused Assassin Apparently Confessed to Boyfriend Lance Twiggs

 Ward Clark  

"Note that language: Twiggs: "You weren't the one who did it right????" Robinson: "I am, I'm sorry." That sure looks like an admission."

"Also released was a little over 20 minutes of video, in which Lance Twiggs was being interviewed by a prosecutor."

"Robinson’s mom told law enforcement that he had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, “becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” according to Utah County District Attorney Jeffrey Gray.

"However, Twiggs said in the video interview that Robinson rarely spoke about LGBT issues and was more interested in Trump and his policies."

"One of the most jaw-dropping moments to emerge happened on the first day when Judge Tony Graf viewed a video of the shooting taken from close behind Charlie. Graf was the only one in the courtroom who could see the footage, and the sound was muted out of sensitivity to the Kirk family, but his reaction says everything."  Video.

GOP Lawmakers Put WNBA on Notice: Protect Caitlin Clark From From Further Attacks or Face DOJ, EEOC Crackdown

“'Finally, some adults in the room,” commented former collegiate swimmer, Riley Gaines, on X. “Thank you to these Republican Members of Congress for holding the WNBA accountable on the disgusting treatment of Caitlin Clark."

                               

"The House Republican Study Committee has put the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) on notice, warning the league in a letter that if it continues to tolerate “unnecessary physical hostility and violence” against Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark on the court,  the Department of Justice may be forced to step in.

"“I led my colleagues in demanding accountability from WNBA Commissioner [Cathy] Engelbert after MULTIPLE attacks against Caitlin Clark, a player who is transforming women’s sports and inspiring a new generation of young girls to participate in athletics,” said Committee Chairman August Pfluger (R-Texas) in a statement, Wednesday.

"“I’m putting the league on notice that if it keeps letting the violent targeting slide, they could find themselves facing a DOJ and EEOC crackdown for violating federal civil rights law,” he added.

"The Committee’s letter highlighted specific incidents where Clark was hip-checked, poked in the eye, and punched in the throat, arguing that “the incidents go far beyond routine physical play” and that officials have failed to hold the offending players sufficiently accountable.'

"After the egregious June 24 throat punch incident, officials initially turned a blind eye, only penalizing Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury a day later— after a public outcry. Following the post-game review, the league classified the throat punch as a non-basketball act and a “cheap shot,” upgrading the initial no-call to a Flagrant 2 foul. Thomas received a one-day suspension and a $1,000 fine." . . .

“The View’s” Sunny Hostin’s Endorsement of Platner Says it All

 The Punching Bag Post 

 "Hostin’s endorsement on “The View” perfectly captures this moral inversion. By admitting Platner’s defects yet endorsing him anyway, she proves the modern left often operates on a single principle: defeating conservatives justifies any alliance, any compromise, any hypocrisy." 

 

"In a recent airing of “The View”, regular panelist Sunny Hostin endorsed Maine’s default Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner. Nothing new there – except for her description of Platner.

"She casually flips off Platner’s character with “So he’s a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite. He’s a homophobe.” (She did not address the infidelity and the distribution of his naked pictures to a large number of women. But she did say that “character does matter” – only to prove that, in her case, it does not.)

"Her ringing endorsement is off key. One would be hard pressed to find an endorsement in the annals of political history so condemning of the candidate." . . .

"AHHHHHH! Help, help! I'm in danger!" Hostin yelled as she ran shrieking down the aisle. "The flag, it tried to hurt me. There were stars, and stripes, and a fat white boy. All white, like a ghost! Someone save me!". . .

Platner may wake voters up -

"The DC Establishment blames the openly communist wing of their communist party for their imbroglio. To be sure Bernie, Pocahontas and the rest (save AOC) promoted the Nazi."


"A month ago, Democrats in Maine nominated Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo (now covered up) as their Senate candidate. The party hoped that they could dress up as a working class hero someone expelled from a private school as a teen who grew up to be a ne’er-do-well.
"Megan McCardle tweeted:
Platner is a private school screwup, of a type familiar to people who went to private school. The fact that he was cast as a man of the people by elites, while the working class rejected him, seems kind of emblematic of the whole progressive project right now.
"She also said:
People in NYC used to say that Trump was “a poor person’s idea of a rich person”—which was supposed to be a dunk and actually described his political appeal. Dems trying to tap that same populist energy instead selected a rich person’s idea of a poor person.

 "Spot on. Graham Platner is who Democrats believe a working class man is—a Nazi in a wife-beater T-shirt with tattoos.

"They cast him as a Marine combat veteran who raises oysters, which is true but they left out the good part of the story—mocking a soldier being shot, a plausible claim of assault, and disparaging blacks, women and fellow veterans online.
"After Democrats nominated him, the rest of the story resurfaced like a log you cannot flush down. They knew they had a problem as Republicans held back their oppo research until October.
"The New York Times tried to inoculate him with a story about Lyndsey Fifield, one of his alleged assault victims—a story in which the newspaper tried to smear the woman as a Republican operative.
"All that was missing was James Carville saying, drag a thousand-dollar bill through a cul de sac and there’s no telling what you get. Inflation has Grover Cleveland replacing Ben Franklin. It’s all about the Grovers now." . . .
"No matter whom Democrats choose as the replacement, it is up to Mainers to decide whether nominating a Nazi is OK. Louisiana had no problem saying no to a klansman when David Duke won a Republican nomination for governor of Louisiana."

Was he vetted and approved by Bruce? 


In the wake of the Graham Platner scandals, we mustn’t forget the danger posed by James Talarico   
"But I’ll let other people write about Mr Platner and his troubles. I am more concerned about 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee James Talarico of Texas. We have previously noted Mr Talarico, a seminarian with the Presbyterian Church USA. Mr Talarico pretends to be tells us that he is a devout Christian, but he supports prenatal infanticide, using the story of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) as a supposedly Christian argument for it, supports “trans children”, and The Advocate, a ‘magazine’ which supports homosexuality and transgenderism, has said the candidate “has positioned himself as a fierce queer ally, even using the Bible to advocate in favor of LGBTQ+ rights.'” . . .

President Trump, Veto the Housing Bill!

TD is not sharp-as-a-tack enough to discern if these conditions would be a by-product of Mamdani's actions (though one can see how that could be) or natural economic conditions. But we have seen over the years how one simple law passed by an even more simple governing body has wrecked an economy. This is Coulter's take on the issue. Tunnel Dweller

Ann Coulter 

"I know the GOP is running scared over the “affordability” crisis, but wrecking middle-class neighborhoods while showering taxpayer money on multimillionaire landlords may not be the populist solution they think it is."


"Everyone was ready for a grand signing ceremony to mark the historic moment when President Trump put his name on the bipartisan bill, The 21st Century Road to Housing Act. It was to be a celebration of unity, a brief respite from the nation’s bitter divisions, Shangri-la in the capital city. Then, suddenly, the president decided not to sign it.
"All I can say is: Thank you, Mr. President!!!
"Apart from eliminating some burdensome federal regulations previously enacted by these morons (repealing almost anything passed by any Congress ever, for any reason, is a good idea) the main outcome of the law will be to destroy neighborhoods, while unjustly enriching well-heeled landlords of decrepit apartment buildings.
"Specifically, the act expands Section 8 housing, a government program to move violent, gun-happy, drug-dealing welfare recipients from inner-city public housing units into previously safe neighborhoods. The theory is that if only criminals lived in nice middle-class areas, they’d get jobs and become productive members of society!
"Prevented by their own ideology from criticizing welfare dependency, single motherhood, drug use or criminality, liberals blame dysfunctional behavior on… zip codes. Instead of addressing why people might not want to live in places where they get mugged, Congress decided to move the bad neighborhoods to them. Work ethic, orderliness, respect for the law — irrelevant! It’s location, location, location.
"In a completely unexpected development, wherever Section 8 appears, crime skyrockets. The newcomers don’t get jobs, but they do get to live in nicer places and have access to a relatively more prosperous set of victims.
"If you built a wall around voucher-enabled housing in any town, you’d cut violent crime by 50%. A black alderman in Chicago said the only time he was threatened by his black constituents was when they warned him against putting criminals in their neighborhoods with Section 8. It’s like injecting a virus into a community.
"Ferguson, Mo., is an illustration of what happens when Section 8 housing comes to your town. Once a nice middle-class suburb for people fleeing crime in St. Louis, things changed after residents of inner-city projects began being funneled into “Housing Choice” apartments there". . . More...

America’s Next Super Tank? M1E3 Abrams Trials Starting Years Ahead of Schedule

Democrats await President Talarico's veto.

 Argunners


"The United States Army has announced that it will begin testing prototypes of the next-generation M1E3 Abrams tank in the summer of 2026, five years earlier than originally scheduled. The accelerated timeline reflects a broader shift in defense acquisition strategy, emphasizing agility, modularity, and real-time soldier feedback during development.

"Modular Approach To Future Combat Vehicles

"The M1E3 Abrams is designed as a modular combat platform, allowing different components, such as engines, transmissions, and active protection systems, to be swapped in and out depending on operational requirements or technological advancements. According to General Randy George, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army:

“When a supplier comes in and says, ‘I have something better for active protection, a better engine, a lighter transmission to achieve the required performance,’ soldiers can simply, so to speak, plug it in and use it.”

"This shift breaks with previous Army development cycles, which often delayed programs for years until all technical and risk-related issues were resolved. By contrast, the M1E3 strategy aims to reduce fielding time and increase adaptability to battlefield needs. Feedback from soldiers operating the prototype vehicles will guide adjustments and upgrades throughout the testing period." . . . More...

General Abrams’s Impact on Modern Armored Warfare and the M1 Legacy

Colonel Creighton Abrams at the Battle of the Bulge - Warfare History Network

. . . "Colonel Abrams himself had just become one of the heroes of the Battle of the Bulge, along with Brigadier General Anthony C. McAuliffe, deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division, who had replied “Nuts!” to a German surrender ultimatum on December 22, General Patton, who had moved an entire corps 90 degrees to the left flank of the Bulge in one of the most brilliant maneuvers of World War II, and many other officers and enlisted men who distinguished themselves in the biggest winter campaign in U.S. Army history.

"Captain Abe Baum of the 4th Armored Division said of Abrams, “He was sincere, honest, didn’t speak down to people. In eight or 10 words, he could put more emphasis than someone who spoke for an hour. He led his troops. He didn’t have a headquarters out there in his lead tank. Instead, he was another gun in the tank.”

"Patton said, “I’m supposed to be the best tank commander in the Army, but I have one peer, Abe Abrams. He’s the world champion.'” . . .  More...



The sign of dementia that appears 15 YEARS before early-onset diagnosis

Daily Mail Online



"Struggling at work and being less productive could be a warning sign of early-onset dementia more than a decade before a diagnosis is made, a study suggests.

Early-onset dementia is when the debilitating disease strikes before 65, causing a premature deterioration of a patient's emotional and professional lives. Often, it has no apparent cause. 

Younger patients typically wait years for a diagnosis because the disease is not normally searched for in those younger than 60. 

But now, researchers in Finland say the condition could be detected up to 15 years earlier by tracking work performance.

In a study of nearly 800 early-onset dementia patients and 7,000 healthy individuals, researchers found those who had early-onset dementia earned $13,800 less per year on average than others from a decade-and-a-half before their diagnosis, which they said was due to them being less productive.

Overall, researchers estimated that patients lost about $86,000 in wages over the course of the 12-year study due to the condition.

Dr Eino Solje, a neurologist who led the research, said: 'Early-onset dementia affects people during their most productive years and is associated with a decreased ability to work, increased unemployment and leaving jobs sooner than planned.

'These changes can reduce household income and contribute to broader economic impact."  . . .

Iran war takes terrifying turn as missiles bombard NUCLEAR plant and flights are thrown into chaos | Daily Mail Online

"Donald Trump's war has escalated after Tehran retaliated by firing missiles and drones at war-weary US allies in the Middle East, while American strikes bombarded an Iranian nuclear plant.

"A day after the President declared the ceasefire 'over' and struck more than 170 regime targets, Kuwait and Bahrain faced fresh Iranian attacks on Thursday morning.

"Jordan, a US ally, said five Iranian ballistic missiles were fired from northwestern Iran toward an air base in the country, delaying flights across the region. 

"Sirens could be heard blasting for civilians to take cover as all Iranian missiles were intercepted, the government says.

"Iranian officials claimed that US military strikes sent shrapnel and projectiles slamming into the perimeter of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran.

"US strikes on Iran over the last 48 hours have targeted Iran's military assets near the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway responsible for one-fifth of the world's oil supply. 

"Various Iranian air defense systems, drones, regime speed boats, and missile storage sites have been destroyed, according to US Central Command. US officials claim that the strikes are designed to stop Iran from attacking commercial shipping vessels crossing the strait.

"Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it has successfully struck US military bases near the Persian Gulf. The Daily Mail has contacted the Pentagon for comment. " . . . More...
