| by Tony Perkins |
| "When will it end?" That was the question a legacy media commentator asked after conservative talk show host and thought leader Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University.

| by Joshua Arnold |
| Americans are still reeling from the news that an unknown assassin shot and killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday afternoon, as he answered questions from quizzical students at an event at Utah Valley University.

| by Dan Hart |

| Charlie Kirk, Mi Hermano |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| He was 18 when he became involved in politics. With $10,000, he started what would become one of the most important conservative organizations in the United States: Turning Point USA, key to Trump's historic victory in 2024. Along the way, however, he knew how to build the most important thing: a marriage and a family. |
