24 years ago, nearly 3,000 lives were claimed during the unconscionable attacks of 9/11. California will forever hold the memory of those lost in our hearts, as well as the service members who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms and way of life.

FBI Releases Photo of ‘Person of Interest’ in Charlie Kirk Assassination

Authorities have released an image of a “person of interest” in the assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk as they remain engaged in an intense manhunt to find the killer.

“We are asking for the public’s help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the FBI Salt Lake City office wrote in a social media post on Thursday.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)Receipts:zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki…

Florida Republican Asks Mike Johnson to Put Charlie Kirk Statue in the Capitol

Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is reportedly asking House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to install a statue of Charlie Kirk in the U.S. Capitol, a day after the Turning Point USA founder was assassinated in Utah.

Luna has been circulating a letter with the request, according to NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman.

“We write to you today with heavy hearts, mourning the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a patriot, a father, and a fearless voice for conservative values, who was senselessly assassinated on September 10, 2025 at Utah Valley University,” Luna began in the letter.

In a perfect world, we’d all just say: I feel so sorry for his small children. These very powerful people force me to say things like: if you want to draw up a sheet of paper, because you may be too stupid to do this yourself, side by side with me of the domestic body count of political violence…

Lutnick: "I would say the first quarter of next year will be the best quarter of construction jobs this country has ever seen, and that's gonna roll all the way through '26. So I think you're gonna see GDP growth next year over 4%."

Jesse Watters Sparks Fury With ‘War’ Declaration After Charlie Kirk’s Killing

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked a wave of condemnation on Wednesday night with his comments on the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk, just hours before he went on air.

“We’re sick, we’re sad, we’re angry, and we’re resolute, and we’re going to avenge Charlie’s death in the way Charlie would want it to be avenged. He was such a beautiful boy, he was an American boy, and he was incredibly positive, he was full of energy, and life, and he made politics fun,” began a clearly emotional Watters, who had a long friendship with Kirk.

Later in his comments, Watter added, “And as Greg [Gutfeld] said, this hits differently, because Charlie was one of us, and Trump gets hit in the ear. Charlie gets shot dead. They came after Kavanaugh with a rifle to his neighborhood. They went after Musk’s cars. They just shot two Jews outside the embassy. Think about it. Scalise got shot, barely survived. It’s happening. We got trans shooters. We got riots in LA.”
