The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old ‘anti-fascist’ (Orwellian double-speak for ‘pro-fascist) and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson.
As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. Indeed, Kirk may well have ensured that Donald Trump won the 2024 election by not just increasing his youth vote by 6 percent since 2020 but, more importantly, by margins in the swing states of 15-24 percent, ensuring Trump’s victory.
No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration—among them scores of teachers and professors. Their venom was eerily reminiscent of their earlier canonization of left-wing murderer Luigi Mangione. Who are the culprits responsible for this madness?
We all know that when you corner an animal, it will fight tooth and nail for its survival. This means that even supposedly meek creatures will defend themselves with a surprising level of frenzy and violence. The choice for any cornered creature facing death is to go out with an all-out snarl.
This is where the Democrat party movement finds itself. Snubbed at the polls, cut off from sub rosa USAID sustenance, humiliated time and again by the ever adroit Donald Trump, and hemorrhaging its plantation BIPOCs, the party has resorted to obscenities, outright antisemitism, and the defense of criminals everywhere (including drug-runners on the Caribbean Sea) as its tonic for combating The Donald.
Our commonsense hope that the Democrats would finally wake up and realize how much their foaming-at-the-mouth hatred, projection, trans adoration, scenery-chewing (Hakeem Jeffries), and irrationality (Stephen King) is costing them has been dashed. Charlie Kirk’s murder did that.
Now we stand in the bright light that brings clarity. The Democrat party has been taken over by nihilists, distorted beings who aim to bring us, our country, and our civilization down to ruin. Any hope that so-called moderate Democrats might amass their collective huevos and rally to the defense of their country flickered out on September 10, 2025.
What’s going to happen now will be actions and counteractions that move us closer to, God forbid, a hot civil war.
For years Democrats have been accusing conservatives of being cruel, heartless individuals. Our crime? Believing in God, the Church, the family, the country, the Constitution, and the rule of law.
Their attempts to claim the moral high ground has led them to institute "restorative justice," where people credibly accused of criminal acts are released without bail. They've instituted policies allowing millions of unvetted, unvaccinated individuals from third-world countries to be welcomed into the country and hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children to go missing in four years.
We've watched while Catholic churches were vandalized and burned because we oppose abortion. We've seen normal American citizens called Nazis while obese, hairy drag queens read graphic pornography to kids in public libraries.
We've had enough. The Left has accused us of being intolerant because we object to their lawlessness and depravity. The Left has been using Saul Alinsky's playbook to beat us into submission, and it's time we returned the favor.
Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025.
In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.
Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure you that nobody who was there believes it. It was far larger, at least one million, but probably nearer three. And it did not appear out of nowhere.
It was the culmination of months of patriotic ferment across the country; anti-illegal immigration protests outside migrant hotels, towns and villages covered in Union Jacks, lamp posts wrapped in flags, and St. George’s Crosses painted defiantly on roundabouts, all exploding into London, shaking Britain’s rotten ruling class to its core.
On September 11, Russian scholarly journal Russia in Global Affairs highlighted a new research project, “Russia’s Living Idea-Dream: The Code of the Russian in the 21st Century.”
The project aims to build on a similarly titled report published by Sergey Karaganov, one of the founders of the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and his like-minded colleagues (Faculty of World Economy and World Politics, July 11).
Karaganov’s work is meant to codify a renewed set of norms for Russian citizenship and identity in the making of a new world order (Russia in Global Affairs, July 2025). It aspires to become a new moral-political guide for Russian society; an analogue of Soviet ideals adapted to modern conditions.
The new Russian code has come to the forefront of public debate at a time of marked resurgence in rehabilitating Stalin’s image. This rehabilitation has manifested in the installation of new monuments to the Soviet dictator and favorable public statements from Russian officials.
Galapagos Islands – November 2015. In the waters here, enormous schools of striped mullet swim together in one huge swirling ball by the tens of thousands.
One of the more astounding experiences a scuba diver can have is to swim far below one of these rotating living balls, then slowly rise straight up into it. The fish do not scatter, but merely create an empty column or vertical tunnel for you – so you float inside the ball with countless thousands of calm unperturbed fish circling around you and your dive buddy (who took this picture of me).
According to the many thousands of world travellers on TripAdvisor, it’s #1: Praia do Sancho on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha. You’ll also find it on just about any list of most beautiful beaches, such as Condé Nast, Harper’s Bazaar, and Luxury Travel.
The whole island is gorgeous. Mention that you’ve been there to any Brazilian who hasn’t and their eyes get misty. Fernando de Noronha (no-rone-ya) is the dream honeymoon, the dream vacation that only comes true for few in Brazil, as it’s hard to get to and hardly any place to stay once you’re there.
You have to get to either Recife or Natal in the far northeast, then fly 220 miles out into the Atlantic. Then take a boat, or scamper down the rocks of a 250ft-high cliff to be on the sugar sand of this enchanting beach – which you’ll have almost to yourself.
This is the North Face of Mount Kailas (6,638 m/21,778 ft) in a remote region of far western Tibet inhabited only by Changpa nomads. For 22% of all people on Earth – 1.2 billion Hindus, 510 million Buddhists and many millions of others – it is the spiritual Center of the Universe, the Navel of All Creation.
Kailas and surrounding glaciers are considered the source of four of Asia’s great rivers radiating out from it: the Indus, Tsangpo-Bhramaputra, Sutlej, and Karnali-Ganges. As a sacred mountain it has never been climbed.
For thousands of years, people from all Asia have made the arduous pilgrimage to Kailas to perform the sacred act of circumambulating around the mountain – most clockwise, counterclockwise for others such as the Changpa adhering to the ancient Bön Tibetan religion.
Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” described Count Dracula’s home as a castle located high above a gorge perched on a rock in Transylvania’s Carpathian Mountains. And here you are, Bran Castle, built in the late 1300s near the town of Brasov in Romania, and traditionally associated with Vlad Dracula (1428-1477).
His father, Vlad Dracul (Vlad the Dragon), as the ruler of Wallachia (southern Romania), led Christian knights fighting Ottoman Turks called the Order of the Dragon, or “Dracul” in Romanian. His son succeeded him as Dracula – “son of the dragon” – waging war upon the Moslem Ottomans so brutally he became known as “Vlad the Impaler” for impaling his enemies. They began spreading rumors of his being literally bloodthirsty, drinking his enemies’ blood.
A Turning Point For The USA
________________________________
***
Charlie Kirk (1993–2025) was a passionate advocate for American ideals, dedicating his life to inspiring young people toward excellence, merit, and virtue. As co-founder of Turning Point USA, he championed free speech and individual potential, urging students to rise above grievance and embrace their capacity for greatness. His death at Utah Valley University, where he was shot by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, marked a tragic end to a life of purpose.
Robinson, once a high-achieving student, became radicalized through online identity algorithms that weaponized his personal failures into ideological rage. His transformation into a lone-wolf actor illustrates a disturbing new threat: high-intellect individuals whose resentment is algorithmically converted into operational violence.
In contrast, the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a schizophrenic repeat offender on a Charlotte train highlights the consequences of systemic neglect. Released without bond by an unqualified magistrate, her killer was allowed to roam free despite clear signs of instability. Her death has sparked a cultural reckoning, with public memorials and funding initiatives underscoring the failure of institutions to protect the vulnerable.
Together, these tragedies expose the dangers of ideological extremism and institutional breakdown. Kirk’s message that excellence must triumph over identity politics resonates more urgently than ever. His legacy calls for a recommitment to principle, merit, and the defense of truth in a time of confusion and violence.
[TTP: Since 2001 we have posted a 9/11 article to remind folks to Never Forget. New York, itself, seems to have forgotten the horror that was wrought there that day, but our enemies have not changed their intentions, merely their tactics - as we see a communist Muslim running for Mayor there today. So, once again, let us be reminded of the fundamental character of our enemy revealed in this article written in 2017.]
Stefan The Great defeating the Ottoman Moslems January 10, 1475
Zagreb, Croatia. I have just completed my expedition through Hidden Eastern Europe, primarily through much of the Balkans. It has been a historical lesson of sobering immensity.
Today is the 16th anniversary of the most evil attack on America in our history. More morally evil than Pearl Harbor, which was an act of war targeting US military personnel (of the 2403 deaths, 68 were civilians). 9/11, by contrast specifically targeted civilians on purpose. 2,977 innocent human beings were slaughtered by Moslem terrorists, of whom 2,508 were civilians.
If you click on that latter link, up will come a list of 173 of the worst terrorist attacks, starting with 9/11. Scroll down the list and you’ll be overwhelmed at how many are attributed to “Islamic extremism” – 120 out of 173.
The Moslem Atrocity of 9/11 is a trauma America will never forget and never forgive its perpetrators. What Americans should also never forget is its context. Here in the Balkans is where you learn that context in spades.
We suffered one horrific attack of Islamic barbarism. What would it be like to suffer an unending series of slaughters and enslavements for century after century, for four or five hundred years?
This may be the hardest column I’ve ever written, one where I’m so angry that it’s hard for me to put my words into a sequence that’s both coherent and not profane.
They murdered Charlie Kirk yesterday.
They shot him dead because he dared to exercise his right as a human being to speak freely – contrary to what Democrat senators insist, our rights do not come from government but are endowed within us by our Creator.
So, this was not merely a crime against one man, or against his beautiful family, but against both this country and our God.
And it will be righteously avenged.
He’s not going to be forgotten.
They may have killed him, but they’re not going to kill the movement he started.
Oh no, they don’t get to win.
They don’t get to murder their way to victory.
They don’t get to scare us, intimidate us, or decapitate our movement.
[This Monday’s Archive was originally published on December 27, 2006. Our situation is vastly worse now after The Treason of Biden organized an invasion of illegals in the tens of millions, and the Dems with their treasonous judges doing everything to block Trump’s efforts to remigrate them. Here’s a history lesson that couldn’t be more relevant today.]
TTP December 27, 2006
I'm in a small town called St. Francisville in an obscure part of Louisiana. Visitors who come here stop briefly to gaze at the nicely preserved 19th century homes on its main street before hurrying off to the area's principal attractions nearby – magnificent ante-bellum plantation mansions like Rosewood, the Myrtles, or Oakley where Audubon stayed and painted many of his birds.
Almost no tourists pay any attention to a flag that flies in front of the courthouse along with the stars and stripes and the state flag, nor have any idea what it symbolizes:
It's the Bonnie Blue flag of the Republic of West Florida, the capital of which was here. In 1810, St. Francisville was the capital of an independent country.
How it got to be, and what it may mean for America's future, is a story that goes from Spanish explorers to American rebels, from Napoleon to the Alamo, from the "Halls of Montezuma" of the Marine Hymn to the current invasion of America by illegal aliens from Mexico.
So curl up and get cozy in your favorite chair while I tell you the story.
