His young life’s work will be fulfilled in his legacy.
This is indeed a Turning Point for the USA.
Dear God, we lack the words. As the Father of all that is good and pure, wrap Your embrace around this family at this intense time of sadness and grief. You see this family who is suffering unbearable pain right now because of the loss of their beloved. We pray for You to comfort and carry these precious people in their pain, loss, and sadness. Blanket them with Your love and peace. Their hearts are broken and their life in strongest turmoil, so humbly we pray that You can provide them peace and strength within their hearts. We offer this prayer as they only now begin to navigate life without Charlie. Let them find serenity in You, knowing Charlie is at peace in Your arms. We pray for the blanket of comfort to overwhelm them knowing Charlie is with You, in a place of eternal peace. In Your most Holy name, we join and pray. ~ Amen.
“In honor of Charlie Kirk, a truly Great American Patriot, I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.” ~ President Donald Trump
BREAKING. Conservative pundit and leading voice of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk was about 20 minutes into a presentation when he was shot, a spokesperson for Utah Valley University told NBC News.
The spokesperson said, to the best of the university’s knowledge, Kirk was hit and taken with his security team away from the premises, and the courtyard was cleared.
Kirk was sat in a tent with the “American Comeback Tour” logo when a shot is heard and Kirk physically recoils, slumping down in his seat. Blood is seen flowing down from his neck and the crowd audibly panics and begins to run.

Popular artist Banksy created a graffiti mural in London depicting the current state of the UK censorship system using the courts to trample the rights of British citizens:
It did not take long for the authorities to cover the mural and eventually attempt to remove it.

The financial punditry are verklempt, puzzled and perplexed as the wholesale inflation rate calculated by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Producer Price Index [DATA HERE] shows a drop in PPI of -0.1% for August.
Despite the pundits claiming the Trump tariffs were going to drive up prices, the data shows the manufacturers of products are absorbing the majority of the tariff costs, the importers are absorbing the remnants and the consumer prices are not reflecting the tariff. Go figure!
Exactly as expected, the wholesale price of tariffs are being offset by production cost reductions by the export dependent manufacturing companies overseas. This is exactly what took place in the first term, and the situation is duplicating even with higher tariff rates.
Export dependent nations are squeezing their own productivity, their governments are subsidizing the critical industries and the tariffs are being absorbed before they even leave the docks. This is the USA “rust belt” in reverse. The same scenario played out in the USA for decades as domestic manufacturers tried to retain U.S. industry. Now the foreign countries are experiencing their own economic squeeze.
(NEW YORK) – Wholesale prices unexpectedly fell in August as businesses ate the bulk of Trump’s tariff costs, teeing up the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates next week.
The Producer Price Index, which measures final demand goods and services prices, declined 0.1% in August from the month before – significantly below estimates of a 0.3% rise, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core PPI also fell 0.1% in August from the previous month. The core figure is up 2.8% on a yearly basis.
Easing from a heated 0.7% pace in July, the calmer wholesale reading signaled that companies have been absorbing the tariffs in an effort to hold onto wary customers. (more)
CNBC even stumbled upon what created the “rust belt” in the U.S. WATCH:
At a 55% tariff rate against Chinese finished-goods imports, there will be ZERO inflationary pressure to the U.S. consumer.
None. Zero. Zippo. Zilch.
First, the producing economies who are dependent on exports will fight to retain their manufacturing capacity by increasing productivity and subsidizing their industry. The production costs will be lowered at the point of manufacturing.
Second, tariffs are paid by the importer based on the *wholesale price* of the product as delivered by the exporting country depending on the exporters’ tariff rate.
Tariffs are NOT LEVIED/PAID based on the retail price of the product as sold to the consumer.
Example: A pair of Denim Jeans made in China for Guess Brand. The Chinese manufacturer sells the jeans to Guess Brand for $10 a pair manufactured. Guess sells the jeans at retail in the USA for $100 (a $90 gross profit).
A 50% tariff on China means the jeans cost Guess Brand $15 instead of $10 (an $85 gross profit). A 50% tariff on Guess brand jeans, that retail for $100, changes the cost to the retail brand by $5.
Multinational corporations who have off shored their production and manufacturing to China are the ones screaming about tariffs. Ultimately in the final analysis, President Trump is exposing corporatism, multinational corporate vultures; he is not necessarily just exposing China.
In the example above the company makes $85 gross profit as opposed to $90 gross profit on the pair of jeans if they do not raise the retail price.
They don’t raise the price because their profit margins are already ridiculous, and that’s why consumer prices do not go up. A 50% direct tariff on Chinese goods only marginally hits the multinational corporation.
American consumers need to understand this dynamic better.
For almost two years, there has been a background conversation with a handful of people watching the Silicon Valley network closely and monitoring every move and position they take. They hold an entirely divergent set of motives that are not aligned with Making America Great Again behind this crew.
I’m simply saying for everyone to keep their eyes wide open, review THAT ARTICLE I just linked above, and put it in the context of the issues and discussions we have had on these pages. Remember, there are literally trillions at stake, and we have been duped too many times. The issues and the stakes in our nation are just too important.
The concern we have is about the “surveillance state”, and the creations of the Silicon Valley tech bros that are building out tools that can easily be weaponized as the contracts with the U.S. government are fulfilled. President Trump will not weaponize them, but the existing tools and the DHS track and trace enhancements being built by the tech team are threats to liberty.
Real ID connected to facial recognition, connected to personage, a digital identity and/or a track and trace capability is ultimately an assembled tech tool for control. Politically Exposed Persons are the most vulnerable.
Those who follow the deepest weeds of their constructs know that billionaire Elon Musk’s ability to have a public influence platform would not exist without the full support of billionaire Larry Ellison. They are absolute partners – mentor and protegee. The part that people are having a hard time accepting is the end goal, the motive behind that Ellison support.
My opinion is today the same as it was when the situation first started to surface. Think of how the Sea Island group positioned Ron DeSantis for his MAGA challenge in 2024. That was a long term plan that started years before DeSantis entered the primary. DeSantis took positions that were highly favored by President Trump supporters, and his network constructed an image that was intentional to ingratiate himself within the movement.
What we have researched with Elon Musk carries many of the same background datapoints and nuance. Musk takes popular positions to cover for some very un-MAGA proposals; the H1B issue is just one facet. Overall, a technological system of surveillance and control by a few tech oligarchs is well underway.
We must keep our eyes wide open. We must trust our instincts and differentiate between key issues that can impact us and our families, and the issues we support – but are not direct impacts on our lives. We want a big tent; we all want to see success for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, but we cannot achieve our goals if liberty is lost in the process.
The surveillance state diminishes liberty; it needs to be confronted as it surfaces.

The U.S Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, Russ Ferguson, and James C. Barnacle, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Charlotte Division hold a press conference to outline federal charges against Decarlos Dejuan Brown, Jr. in the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska.
Both Agent James Barnacle and U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson were emotional at times as they delivered their statements to the media and announced the federal charges. WATCH:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A federal criminal complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Charlotte today, charging a Charlotte man with a federal crime in connection with the fatal attack of Iryna Zarutska on the city’s light rail system, announced Russ Ferguson, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. Decarlos Dejuan Brown, Jr., 34, is charged with one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.
James C. Barnacle, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Charlotte Division, joins U.S. Attorney Ferguson in making today’s announcement.
“Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream — her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence — he will never again see the light of day as a free man.”
“The brutal attack on Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Light Rail was a disgraceful act that should never happen in America,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The FBI jumped to assist in this investigation immediately to ensure justice is served and the perpetrator is never released from jail to kill again. I want to thank Attorney General Bondi for her pursuit of today’s federal charges, which are the first step toward delivering justice for Iryna and her family – as well as the millions of Americans who deserve to live in our great American cities free from being targeted by violent criminals.”
“This brutal attack on an innocent woman simply trying to get to her destination is an attack on the American way of life,” said U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson. “Of course, crimes like this affect the victim the most—Iryna deserves justice, and we will bring justice to her and her family. But crimes like this also affect everyone who relies on mass transportation to get to and from work and go about their daily lives, and federal charges are necessary to protect the public and ensure confidence in our transportation systems.”
“Iryna Zarutska had likely taken that train ride many times before. She was probably tired after a day at work and just wanted to go home, but tragically she never made it. We hope this federal charge will help bring her family a measure of justice and the courts will hold the subject charged in this horrific act accountable. Everyone in this country deserves to go work, to school, or just across town without fear of being attacked,” said James C. Barnacle Jr., the FBI Charlotte Special Agent in Charge.
According to allegations in the affidavit filed with the criminal complaint:
On August 22, 2025, at approximately 9:55 p.m., officers with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) responded to a call for service related to an assault that occurred on the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte. Callers indicated that a woman had been stabbed by a male. Responding officers located the victim inside the rail car. The victim, subsequently identified as Iryna Zarutska, had sustained fatal stab wounds. A pocketknife and other items were collected from the scene.
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage that showed the victim entering the light rail car and sitting down in the row in front of Brown. Approximately four minutes later, Brown pulled a knife from his pocket and unfolded it before striking the victim three times from behind. Following the attack, Brown walked away from the victim. Responding officers located Brown on the light rail platform and he was arrested.
If convicted, Brown faces a maximum statutory sentence of life in prison or death. Ultimately, his sentence will be determined by the Court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. (SOURCE)

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted, when you add the previous Biden revision of -577,000 to the current revision of -911,000 the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) had overreported Biden’s job growth by almost 1.5 million jobs.
The BLS reports today [SEE DATA HERE] an annual revision of 911,000 fewer jobs that previously reported. These further puts President Trump’s decision to fire the head of the BLS into context.
.@kwelkernbc pushed back last week when I warned that the BLS jobs data would show a massive downward revision.
Now it’s official: 2024 job gains were exaggerated by nearly 1M workers, and this is on top of an already reported 577K in downward revisions. This brings the Biden… pic.twitter.com/Aaz0LirOxg
