'Never Give Up': Erika Kirk Issues Powerful Statement After New Charlie Kirk Statue Vandalized

'Never Give Up': Erika Kirk Issues Powerful Statement After New Charlie Kirk Statue Vandalized – RedState   "The words "evil never sleeps" are some of the truest words ever spoken, and that has certainly been the case in recent days, with the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination coming and going, and radical leftists doing their predictably hateful things in response.
As RedState reported, Turning Point USA held a rally at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Thursday to honor Kirk's memory and legacy, complete with speeches from conservative icons like Glenn Beck. But "far-left student organizations, led by UVU’s Students for a Democratic Society, had plans to protest the event." UVU was the university where the TPUSA co-founder was on hand for a speaking engagement on September 10, 2025, when he was gunned down in cold blood by an assassin.

There were also some pretty disgusting "Kirkiversary" stunts planned, with some of the most widely shared ones on social media showing junior and senior high school students, as well as college students, doing dances that mimicked how Kirk was murdered:" . . .

. . . "Kirk's wife, Erika, posted the following powerful response earlier on X:

Charlie once said we should be building two statues for every statue that they tear down. His instinct was always to build, not to destroy. 

They thought a bullet would silence my husband’s voice but it only made it louder. They think spray paint can obscure his legacy, but it will only spread it further. Every attempt to tear down what Charlie built makes us root deeper and work even harder.

And if you think crossing out the name of Jesus Christ will silence Christians, history has already proved you wrong. We know what it costs to stand firm for Christ and we will stand anyway. God will not be mocked. 

Kathy Griffin Dragged Barron Trump Into Her Comeback Tour and the Internet Is Done With Her

 Renewed Right 

 Kathy Griffin isn't brave. She's a 65-year-old comedian recycling a nine-year-old scandal because it's the only interesting thing she's ever done – and she just proved it by making the kid she traumatized into her opening act.

"An 11-year-old boy screamed for his mother when Kathy Griffin flashed his father's fake severed head on national TV.

"Now Barron Trump is 20 – and Griffin just made him the punchline of her new tour.

"Kathy Griffin dragged Barron Trump into her comeback tour – and the internet is done with her.

What Griffin Actually Said

Griffin sat down with Entertainment Weekly this week and decided the best way to promote her comeback tour was to joke about the President's son.

"Barron does," she said, when asked who still believes she wants to kill Trump.

"He'll send me a note once a month just saying, 'Don't kill my daddy.' But, you know Barron, he's the sensitive one. What can I do?"

"That's the comedian who spent years insisting she meant no harm – using a 20-year-old man as a prop for her touring revival.

"The White House declined to comment, which is exactly the dignity Barron Trump deserves.

The Night an 11-Year-Old Screamed for His Mother

"In May 2017, Griffin posed for a photographer holding a bloody, decapitated mask made to look like President Trump's head.

"Barron Trump – then 11 years old – was watching television when the image appeared on the screen.

"Trump family sources told TMZ the boy had no idea who Griffin was and initially believed what he was seeing was real – that something had actually happened to his father." . . . More.

"You know the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case? The one who thought strangling her three children was a crime worth punishing? The one the liberal white women jurors denounced as dumb?

Chip Roy Read the Muslim Brotherhood War Plan Out Loud and Nobody in Congress Wants to Talk About It

Deplorable Daily  

"The Swiss government found a companion document during post-9/11 raids – a methodical plan for the long-term "cultural invasion" of the West written by Brotherhood theorists in 1982 – nearly a decade before the American memo."

"In 1991, "The Muslim Brotherhood wrote down exactly what they planned to do to America.

"The plan is already playing out in Texas.

"And Chip Roy read the Muslim Brotherhood war plan out loud, but nobody in Congress wants to talk about it.

"The Document the FBI Seized That Washington Pretends Doesn't Exist

"In 1991, a Muslim Brotherhood operative named Mohamed Akram wrote a memo for the organization's Shura Council that was never supposed to see daylight.

"FBI agents found it in 2004 during a search of the home of the Brotherhood's archivist in America, seized it, and prosecutors entered it as a government exhibit in the Holy Land Foundation trial – the largest terrorism financing prosecution in U.S. history.

"The memo lays out what Akram called a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" – a long-term strategy to dismantle Western civilization from within.

"Chip Roy read it word for word on BlazeTV with Liz Wheeler.

"The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions," he said.

Roy's conclusion: "That is at the core of what is driving the vast majority of those who are Muslims who are carrying out the Islam faith in the United States."

"Why Texas and Why Now"

"Roy is running for Texas Attorney General – and he's been posting about Islamic infiltration and Sharia law more than any other member of Congress, 244 times since January alone, according to a Washington Post analysis that was meant to mock him.

"They thought that number would embarrass him.

"'He's wearing it like a badge.

"'This is a coordinated political effort to Islamify Texas," Roy told Steve Bannon. "You've got to say it, you've got to mean it, you've got to push the Legislature to pass laws."

"His campaign announcement was just as direct: "No more Soros-funded judges and DAs putting criminals on our streets. No more judge-made mandates that Texas pay for illegals in our public schools. No more communities built on Sharia law."

Data Shows The DSA Takeover Of The Democrat Party Is Nearly Complete

 Dr. Rich Swier

In June, the DSA released a new platform, dubbed “Workers Deserve More,” which in part proposes to “draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.”  

David Hitch

"The majority of Democrats support the Democratic Socialists of America, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found.

"The latest survey shows that among Democrats, 59% consider themselves DSA supporters, compared to just 30% who do not. Out of total voters polled just 26% consider themselves supportive of the DSA, compared to 66% who do not consider themselves backers of the socialist group.

"If a candidate for elected office identifies as a DSA supporter, 17% of respondents say it makes them more likely to back that candidate, the survey states. By comparison, 43% of voters say it makes them less likely to vote for that candidate while 35% of respondents say it makes no difference.

"The DSA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Key considerations for states developing mileage-based user fee pilot programs

"States considering replacing gas taxes with mileage-based user fees can learn from pilot programs in Hawaii, Michigan, California, and Texas."

Developing a mileage-based user fee pilot program   

"Well-constructed pilots will produce enough relevant information for lawmakers to make an informed decision about implementation or how to address identified barriers to implementation." 

"Rising costs and inflation, along with increased fuel efficiency and electric vehicle adoption, have created a major problem for state transportation revenues. Many states are examining funding alternatives to fuel taxes, such as mileage-based user fees, to help bridge the gap between transportation system needs and revenue projections. 

"Seventeen states have received federal Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives (STSFA) grants to examine mileage-based user fees (MBUFs), which are also called road usage charges (RUCs).

"Two coalitions, RUC America and the Eastern Transportation Coalition, are multi-state partnerships of transportation agencies that share research and pool funding to help member states study mileage-based user fees. More states plan to evaluate MBUFs in the near future.

"However, implementing a state MBUF program is complex, and pilot programs are the first step in analyzing how a permanent program could be implemented. With some state departments of transportation already struggling to repave roads, let alone run mileage fee pilot programs, gleaning the highest value of data from these pilot programs is essential.

"To maximize the effects of pilot programs, states need to learn from best practices and what has been done across the country. Roadmaps outline stages for a mileage-based user fee pilot program and what the program should be designed to address: ideally, questions that can’t be modeled in other ways.  

"While revenue and rates, for example, can be modeled and estimated on paper, questions like how drivers will react to a road usage charge and which mileage-reporting option they will prefer are at the heart of a pilot program’s goals.". . . More.

AOC Gets Destroyed in Fact Check on 'Black Lynchings' — This Is Humiliating

 RedState   

"The radical left’s first instinct is to turn tragedy into racial panic first and waits for the facts later. This time, the facts were already sitting there. AOC just got hammered with them."

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had some terrifying news for America this week: Black people are once again being lynched across the United States.

" Not one isolated case. Not one suspicious death still under investigation. 

" According to the New York Democrat, America is facing “widespread modern-day lynchings” and “racial terror,” with 10 Black people already found hanging this year. 

'“This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S.,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, announcing that she had joined Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and dozens of other Democrats in demanding federal action.

“I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley’s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.” 

"Pressley somehow managed to turn the temperature up even higher. “Black folks are being found hanged in America,” the Squad member declared. “This is a national crisis and we CANNOT stand by while strange fruit hangs from trees across the country.” “We're demanding a federal investigation NOW so we can stop modern-day lynchings.”

“Strange fruit.” “Racial terror.” “Modern-day lynchings.”

"Radicals in America have a real problem: Their demand for racism outstrips the supply. So, what do you do when you have a narrative that demands "racist" white people are mysteriously "oppressing" black people? You invent things. That's what the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing before it got busted literally funding the KKK. Allegedly." . . .

The Lone Juror: Even braver than we thought

 J.R. Dunn - American Thinker  

"This is simply the latest of a series of own goals by the left, and we’ll be seeing plenty more to come. Eventually, moribund Republican Party aside, they’re going to create an effect."

"The revelation that the Holdout Juror was a “person of color” has sent the internet and the left as a whole into gyrations usually limited to taser victims.

"The revelation came on CBS Mornings. Reporter Gayle King was questioning the juror, an admitted “feminist,” when, in one of the most extraordinary exchanges you’ll ever see, it slowly became evident that the holdout was black. King, pulling tooth after tooth, asked if the juror was a “person of color,” then if he was a man, then if he was, like, y’know… the man?  When the juror answered “yes.” King stared at her aghast and then said, in a subdued voice, “I’ll have to sit with that for a moment.”

"This one fact has pretty much wrecked the case of Lindsay Clancy while gutting the entire campaign that the left-wing media was building around it. The assumption was that the juror was a white man -- a throwback, some kind of Christian, maybe even MAGA. (Note that the three jurors interviewed by NBC were careful to make no reference at all to the juror’s race.)

"The juror has wisely decided to keep his head down. The left may not be as lethal as the old KKK, but they are certainly as vicious.

"NBC Boston was the first to open fire with an “investigative report” that, without naming him, revealed a dismissed 2021 assault case, a divorce, and a restraining order taken out by a nephew. Of course, there are no details – why, those might identify him, and NBC would certainly never do a thing like that – but that, of course, also means that we can’t hear both sides of the story, and that there’s no way he can mount a defense. So this “investigation” amounts to nothing more than doxing – about what you’d expect from legacy media." . . . More.

Lindsay Clancy and the cuckoos    

"The female foreman’s note to the judge about permanent deadlock is also cuckoo — to wit, “it is with a heavy heart that we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision and will not be able to.”  “Heavy heart”?  How dare she invoke such emotion?  What a bunch of feminine fluff."

Transforming 9/11 Into Trump Derangement Syndrome

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

"The authors, who participated in administrations whose foreign policies helped to create the dangers we now face abroad, blame Donald Trump for his relentless efforts to eliminate or lessen those dangers. This is how Trump Derangement Syndrome even affects commemorations of 9/11."

"Writing on the Foreign Affairs website on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by Islamic terrorists, two former Clinton and Obama administration national security officials claim that the war on terror that resulted from the 9/11 attacks led to the “unraveling of American democracy” in the form of the “authoritarianism” of the Trump presidency.

"Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon both served in the State Department and on the National Security Council during times when the U.S. responded ineffectually to the growing threat of Islamic terrorism (Clinton presidency) and later when the U.S. simultaneously continued the war on terror while apologizing for America’s past sins in the Middle East (Obama presidency).

"It is no wonder that Benjamin and Simon ignore the flawed foreign policies they helped to formulate and implement and instead blame the Trump presidency for its efforts to undo the damage caused by his predecessors. (RELATED: What We Must ‘Never Forget’ 25 Years After 9/11)

"Benjamin and Simon criticize the U.S. “fixation on Islamic terror,” which they claim “shaped a culture drenched in fear, as voices from politics, the media, civil society, and a swelling counterterrorism-industrial complex insisted that the country faced an existential threat.” Apparently, the authors believe that our Islamic enemies who have repeatedly killed Americans since at least 1979, if not before (as Norman Podhoretz pointed out in a series of articles in Commentary which were later collected into a book titled ), and who 25 years ago attacked the American homeland, are a narrow group of extremists rather than the vanguard of what Samuel Huntington rightly called a “.”

"They lament the rise of “Islamophobia” and anti-immigrant sentiment, especially pronounced, they claim, in the Trump presidencies. While praising some of the successes in the war on terror, Benjamin and Simon claim that 2016 was a “hinge” year when the focus of our efforts shifted from the external war on terror to the “other” war on terror at home — a war against Muslims and immigrants waged by the Trump administration.

"Trump’s war on terror, they claim, is a war on American democracy. Their evidence for this claim is Trump’s “Muslim travel ban,” his designation of Antifa (which the authors call a decentralized, left-wing movement against white supremacy and fascism) as a domestic terror group, his focus on attacks against Christians and conservatives, his use of military strikes against seaborne drug traffickers, his deployment of National Guard troops to quell left-wing, anti-government violence in major cities, including the nation’s capital, and his crackdown on illegal immigration." . . . More.

Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley thoroughly dismantles Lindsay Clancy's attorney after debate challenge

The Western Journal  

"Here's the main concern: Blaming the juror rather than the woman who strangled her three children encourages delusional feminists to take matters into their own hands."

"Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, was destroyed by Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley on a Thursday broadcast concerning Reddington's demonization of a key juror.

When asked about Turley's critique in a subsequent interview with Fox News, Reddington responded, "I'd like to meet with him sometime and maybe debate a few things."

In response to Reddington's debate challenge, Turley responded on X.com, "I am curious as to what is debatable in his view: the professional duty of lawyers not to fuel the rage against a holdout juror or his apparent self-exemption from that duty."

While a debate has not yet happened, Turley released a blog post on Friday morning detailing Reddington's failures.

What were these failures?

First, Turley questioned Reddington's choice to attack the juror during the televised trial. He also called Reddington out on his gloating "about how he 'crushed' the prosecution." While neither of these is a good look for Clancy's attorney, these were merely secondary issues.

The primary concern was about how Reddington spoke with reporters concerning the one juror who prevented a "not guilty" verdict. "[The other jurors] know that they were robbed by one man," he said. "I hope that guy can sleep well at night."

"It was taking that rage outside the courthouse that crossed the line for me," Turley said.

Zealously advocating for your client is one thing; publicly harassing a juror is another. While Reddington never revealed the juror's identity, Turley pointed out that there were "just three males on the jury. [Reddington] knew the juror’s name would likely be disclosed in time, given the anger over the trial’s outcome."

It appears as though Turley's prediction will likely come true. Over the past couple of days, many of the other jurors have taken to popular media, sharing their frustration with the holdout juror." . . .More.
