TRUMP: Kirk Suspect “In Custody”
Donald Trump told Fox & Friends that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin is “in
custody” on Friday, breaking the news before any law enforcement announcement.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody,” he said.

FBI Releases Images, Videos of Kirk Assassination Person of Interest
Photos and videos of the Charlie Kirk assassination person of interest emerged
on Thursday, showing the potential killer leaping off the rooftop sniper’s den
and dashing away minutes after the crime.

The video shows the alleged assassin running across the roof of a campus
building, slowing near the edge, then scaling down to ground level before
nonchalantly walking through a parking lot and towards the wooded area where he
left his gun. The FBI is describing him as a “college-aged” man and says he
left a palm impression and other smudges that investigators could use to
collect DNA. Additional footage shows him moving through a nearby neighborhood
before and after the killing.

REPORT: Shooter’s Ammo Bore Pro-Trans, Anti-Fascist Messaging
A rifle recovered in the hunt for Charlie Kirk’s assassin contained ammunition
engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology,” according to law
enforcement. You may recall that the murder ironically occurred as Kirk fielded
a question about trans shootings.
Investigators discovered the weapon wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near
Utah Valley University. Sources believe a high-caliber round, typically used in
long-range sniper rifles or for hunting big game, ended the young father’s life.
Charlie Kirk was notably not a fascist, so it’s worth wondering why someone
obsessed withstopping fascism would take him out. The answer is clear. The left
has spent years baselessly accusing well-meaning conservatives of being aligned
with Nazis and authoritarians, and their rhetoric has driven a sect of unwell
Americans to take action. That’s why Kirk is gone, and why Donald Trump nearly
lost his life, too.
CNN sought to downplay this report on Thursday, writing
<[link removed]>
that “a range of phrases related to cultural issues were found scrawled on a
rifle and ammunition, but it’s not yet clear if they point to a motive.”Read

Trump to Award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Donald Trump pledged to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal
of Freedom on Thursday. The move will honor the gunned-down father of two with
America’s highest civilian recognition.
“Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an
inspiration to millions and millions of people,” the president said while
speaking at the Pentagon. “Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika, and
his beautiful children. Fantastic people they are. We miss him greatly. I have
no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of
countless people, especially young people, will live on.”
Trump and Kirk enjoyed a years-long close personal relationship, and the
Turning Point USA founder was a frequent visitor to the White House.The
president credited his friend with aiding his 2024 victory in May
<[link removed]>, and Kirk lobbied him
against caving to neocons and bombing Iran around the same time.

Assassination Celebrations Spark Wave of Firings
America’s most soulless leftists celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk. Many
are losing their jobs as a consequence. University of Michigan academic advisor
Lydia Fettig called the killing “prudent” and “rational,” and plenty of other
examples exist.

Liberal Website Paid Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk. He Died Two Days Later.
Feminist website Jezebel published an article bragging about paying Etsy
witches to “curse” Charlie Kirk on September 8th, just two days before his
murder. The piece slammed the Turning Point USA founder while recounting
forking over cash for “multiple curses” on him.
“Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric
he’s shouted at America’s youth and anyone within earshot?” the disturbing
article read. It then detailed how the witches placed the “MAKE EVERYONE HATE
HIM” spell and “POWERFUL HEX SPELL” on the now-killed father of two.
The outlet replaced the piece with an editor’s note saying it was satire
after the assassination.The now-deleted article is available here

Commentary
A Sign of True Character
The right was in turmoil, and Charlie Kirk faced a decision.
Which side should he take?
His first option would have been the easy way out. Charlie easily could have
played it safe and joined the GOP neocons, donors, and special interests
pushing with all their might for a war with Iran. Such a move would have
greatly pleased the powerful, yielded an enormous fortune, and aligned himself
with forces able to support his career and businessno matter what.
The problem, of course, was that doing so would have been an abandonment of
his values. As the American with perhaps the single most knowledge of what
young voters’ desires, Charlie knew risking another Middle East forever war
would not serve our country. So he visited the Oval Office to tell the
president just that.
He didn’t scream. He wasn’t disrespectful. He calmly made his case.
Think about the bravery that required. Charlie knew many of Turning Point
USA’s financial backers would be furious at him for standing against neocon
foreign policy, but he did it anyway because he believed it was right. How many
other leading political figures would have done that? It’s a short list.
The purpose of revisiting this story is not to start a policy debate. It’s to
recognize Kirk’s character. Even if you disagree with his position, you have to
acknowledge the deep principle required for him to express it to Donald Trump
in the way he did. Staying quiet would have been far easier. He spoke up
anyway. Such courage defines his legacy.

This Day in History
September 12, 1940: The discovery of the Lascaux cave paintings. Four French
teenagers discovered the roughly 17,000-year-old works after following their
dog into a hidden cavern, accidentally stumbling upon the finest examples of
art from the Upper Paleolithic period. The cavern’s walls are decorated with
some 600 painted and drawn animals and symbols, and nearly 1,500 engravings.
There is only one human figure depicted in the cave: a bird-headed man with an
erect phallus. The site opened to the public in 1948, but closed 15 years later
as artificial lights, carbon dioxide, and microbial growth caused the
paintings’ colors to fade. A replica opened nearby in 1983 and received tens of
thousands of visitors each year.Read more
