Kirk’s life and work uniting Christians across the planet.

We have all woken up today to a changed America, a changed world, after the MASSIVE Charlie Kirk memorial gathered 300,000 in Glendale, Arizona, and literally Billions around the world.

Charlie’s martyrdom has turned into a litmus test, that unmasked the enemy among us – but also revealed friends in Christ where perhaps we least expected.

One clear example is the Russian Orthodox Church honoring Charlie Kirk’s Christian legacy in unmistakable terms, as you can read in The Example of Charlie Kirk is a Lesson for Us.

It’s notable that this was first mentioned on X by Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and presidential envoy for international economic cooperation, and one on the most ardent defenders of the détente between the US and Russia.

Dmitriev written the Orthodox Church recognizes Charlie Kirk’s contribution to Christianity: ‘His legacy transcends all borders — a voice for faith, courage & truth that unites us all’.

BREAKING: Leading Russian Orthodox Church outlet (edited by Bishop Tikhon) publishes article honoring Charlie Kirk’s contributions to Christianity. “The Example of Charlie Kirk is a Lesson For Us” it writes with “the deepest respect.”

“His stand against retreat and decline, against what our Orthodox elder Father John (Krestiankin) once called “the march of the destroyer,” proved, despite the confessional differences, to be strikingly resonant for many of us.”

300,000+ in Arizona. Billions worldwide.

While 65,000 packed the State Farm Stadium and hundreds of thousands more stood outside, with over hundreds of millions of views in social media, and literally billions around the world keeping track of this literal ‘Turning Point’ for Christians.

That included the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, a man said by many to have Vladimir Putin’s ear, and who has personally experienced a senseless tragedy when his young daughter Daria Dugina was killed by a car bomb designed for him by the Kiev regime henchmen.

If wouldn’t be under sanctions imposed by globalist Biden’s administration, I would come to US today to commemorate the memory of Charlie Kirk.

God bless Charlie Kirk’s America!

It’s a new day, and it just became clearer who our friends and enemies are.

Rest in peace, Charlie.

Trump banned Sadiq Khan, Islamist mayor of London, from the Royal Banquet

Tensions between former U.S. President Donald Trump and London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan have escalated once again. In recent remarks, Trump confirmed that he personally requested Khan be excluded from the Royal Banquet, one of the United Kingdom’s most symbolic diplomatic events. The former president was blunt: “I didn’t want him there. I never liked him. I asked that he not attend.”

Trump described Khan as one of the worst mayors in the Western world, comparing him to some of the most criticized city leaders in the United States.

Federal authorities have taken a Honduran national into custody after he was caught poaching fish at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, underscoring the growing link between unlawful immigration and disregard for U.S. laws.

Earlier this week, U.S. Marshals arrested 46-year-old Walter Betancourth following a court appearance in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. 

Betancourt, who was already subject to a final order of removal dating back to 2022, was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for deportation proceedings.

His arrest was the result of close cooperation between ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

The case began on June 15, 2025, when park rangers at Cape Hatteras noticed a group of five men catching far more fish than allowed. 

Their investigation found that Betancourth and the group had illegally taken 16 red drum. 

North Carolina law restricts the catch to one red drum per person per day, both to prevent overfishing and to protect the fragile ecosystem. 

Several of the fish were oversized and should have been released back into the water.

This violation highlights the strain illegal immigration places not only on law enforcement but also on natural resources. 

Fishing regulations are designed to preserve stocks for future generations of residents and lawful visitors. 

Poaching on this scale threatens both ecological balance and the ability of North Carolina citizens to access and enjoy their natural heritage.

The incident also reflects a deeper problem: individuals who have already been ordered removed from the United States continuing to live freely while ignoring federal authority.

Betancourth’s final deportation order from 2022 should have barred him from remaining in the country. 

Instead, he stayed unlawfully and engaged in further violations, only being apprehended after committing additional crimes.

The swift action of federal authorities sends a clear signal. 

Agencies at both the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have pledged to intensify efforts to locate and remove individuals who defy U.S. immigration laws. 

This case shows that even seemingly small infractions, such as poaching fish, can bring broader enforcement actions when committed by those who are in the country illegally.

North Carolina has long prided itself on safeguarding its coastlines and wildlife. 

The cooperation that led to Betancourth’s arrest demonstrates how seriously federal and local officials take violations that jeopardize both natural resources and the integrity of U.S. borders. 

Unlawful presence combined with criminal behavior will not be tolerated.

Charlie Kirk’s memorial Sunday was equal parts funeral, political rally, and evangelical revival.

An estimated 200,000 people flocked to the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona, to pay tribute to the conservative leader who was slain by an assassin’s bullet Sept. 10.

They alternately cried, laughed, and cheered during the five-hour-long program, which featured a who’s who of celebrities, influencers, musicians, and politicians, many of whom credited Kirk with personally mentoring, encouraging, and coaching them to success.

The sun was hours away from rising when the crowds started to gather for the event. By daybreak, traffic around Glendale’s State Farm Stadium was at a standstill. The parking lots were a mass of pedestrians who had parked far away and walked long distances to get in line before cars were allowed into the facility’s parking lots.

Inside, long before the service for Charlie Kirk officially began, the seats filled with people of all ages, most of them wearing the recommended colors of red, white, and blue — Kirk’s favorite.

Some of the hottest Christian artists began performing early, leading the growing crowd in a star-studded worship session with Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, Cody Carnes, and Kari Jobe.

The arena erupted in cheers as Brandon Lake sang, “Death is not the end … it’s only the beginning.”

Due to extremely tight security, no outside signs or banners were allowed in, but guests found pre-printed tribute signs at their seats with different pictures and messages, including “Well done, good and faithful servant,” “Never Surrender — Remember Charlie Kirk,” and “Here I am, Lord, send me.”

The members of the audience became part of the program, holding up their signs while Kari Jobe sang “It Is Well with My Soul.”

Even before “The Star Spangled Banner” (which, of course, was accompanied by bright red rockets shooting off and chants of “USA! USA!”), there was an altar call.

Kirk’s pastor, Rob McCoy, who spent 25 years leading Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks, California, outlined the gospel message and invited visitors to accept Christ’s gift of salvation.

The evangelical gospel theme was echoed by many of the speakers, including DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Vice President J.D. Vance, and even President Donald Trump and former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson.

Kirk’s friends heaped praise on him and lamented his loss.

One by one, some of the most powerful people on the planet approached the microphone and shared stories of how Charlie Kirk touched their lives.

Kirk’s former chief of staff, Mikey McCoy, was one of many who said some form of the phrase, “My life was forever changed by Charlie.”

Several said Kirk had encouraged them to get married young, have lots of children, and to skip college and devote themselves to serving God and reclaiming America.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles credited Kirk with delivering the young people’s vote to President Donald Trump.

Vice President J.D. Vance has said Kirk was instrumental in his being chosen as Trump’s running mate.

Dr. Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, said simply, “He can’t be replaced.”

Trump himself referred to Kirk as  a “master builder of people.”

The president also said, “One of the last things he said to me was, ‘Please sir, save Chicago.’”

“We’re going to do that,” Trump pledged, to cheers and applause.

During her remarks, a tearful and emotional Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, pointed out the stark difference between her husband’s death and those previously protested by leftists.

“[When Charlie died] you didn’t see violence. You didn’t see rioting. We didn’t see revolution. Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed we would see in this country: We saw revival.

“This past week we saw people open a Bible for first time in a decade. We saw people pray … We saw them go to church.”

Erika Kirk told the crowd that whenever her husband went to speak on a college campus, as he did hundreds of times a year, “he wanted to show them a better path, a better life.”

“He wanted to save young men — just like the one who took his life,” she said.

She then recalled Jesus saying on the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” and applied those words to her husband’s killer.

“That man … I forgive him!” she proclaimed, to thunderous applause.

“It’s what Charlie would do,” she added.

Turns out even the most delusional, far-left Hollywood darlings can be right twice a day.

(Yes, I know that adage applies to a broken clock, but comparing a busted timepiece to actress Jamie Lee Curtis is an insult to the broken clock.)

Now, in complete fairness, perhaps this writer is being a bit harsh.

Sure, Curtis is permanently afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, and yes, she openly flaunts her child suffering from gender dysphoria.

But, to her infinitesimal credit, despite the TDS and card-carrying membership in the LGBT mafia, Curtis is, in fact, an actual human being with a soul.

That may not seem like an especially high bar to hurdle, but if you’ve been paying any attention to the leftist response to the recent assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, you know that it’s a bar that swathes of America can’t seem to clear.

However, Curtis did, and — again, to her credit — she did so by mentioning one of the most important things to Kirk and his legacy: faith.

According to Fox News, Curtis appeared on a podcast Monday and spoke about a wide range of topics. One of those topics included the recently deceased Kirk.

And while many feel the need to eulogize Kirk with a “but,” Curtis did no such thing.

She instead openly wept and broke down at the idea of a 31-year-old father and husband being violently killed in front of his wife and kids. You know — a normal response to such a tragedy.

You can hear the relevant exchange, courtesy of Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rugg, below:

Actress and film producer Jamie Lee Curtis breaks down in tears over the death of Charlie Kirk.

“I mean, I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say…”

“But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to… pic.twitter.com/Bhv2UZrMhU

The bit (it’s not fully captured) begins with Curtis erroneously referring to Kirk as “Charlie Crist.”

“I’m sorry,” Curtis said after being corrected by podcast host Marc Maron. “Kirk. I just called him Crist. I think because of Christ. Because of his deep, deep belief.

“I mean, I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith.”

It’s at this point that Curtis could barely contain her emotions, as her voice quivered with sorrow as she continued to discuss Kirk.

“And I hope in that moment when he died, he felt connected to his faith, even though I find what he … His ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he was a father, a husband, and a man of faith, and I hope whatever connection to God means, that he felt it.”

Curtis would eventually pivot to discussing 9/11 and how Americans are just constantly “bombarded” with destructive imagery, but her point — and response — to Kirk’s assassination was clear: Whatever you may think of Charlie Kirk, at the very least, nobody deserves to lose their life in the way Kirk did.

Again, credit where it’s due, Curtis’ response — “his ideas were abhorrent” aside — is what many on the right expected to see out of the left when Kirk was murdered in cold blood.

Instead, we got people literally dancing on his grave and making up quotes wholesale to denigrate a deceased man’s beliefs.

So I posit this to Ms. Curtis in the off chance she ever sees this: Take a look at your fellow leftists celebrating his death. Take a look at your own faith.

Is it really Charlie Kirk’s biblical beliefs that are “abhorrent”? Or is it the people with whom you surround yourself?
