(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Wild theories about Charlie Kirk’s assassination just imploded.
Suddenly, speculation about exploding microphones, disappearing killers, the existence of a “patsy,” lack of a clear motive, and even time travel seem to have been obliterated with this one neat trick: Evidence introduced at accused assassin Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing.
That hearing in Provo, Utah, is expected to last for just a couple more days before Judge Tony Graf decides if there’s “probable cause” to put the accused killer on trial for murder. If or when that happens, jury selection begins soon thereafter. Continue reading
(Byron York – Townhall) President Trump had two messages in his speech at Mount Rushmore on the eve of July 4. The first, expected, message was a traditional celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary. The second, less expected message was a warning about a “resurgence of the communist menace” in the United States.
Speaking at Mount Rushmore on Friday to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation, President Donald Trump sounded the alarm: “As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack.” He 
Abdelmoneim is worried about “Islamophobes” supposedly spreading falsehoods about Islam: “Corrupt and wicked politicians, leaders, and officials,” he claimed, “they propagate and perpetuate this kind of hatred in their discourse, in their rhetoric, in their communication in the media, just to demonize and to put people down and to stigmatize Muslims and minorities.”
(The Dissenter) The Supreme Court has now done what institutional conservatives so often do when the machinery starts growling. It took a liberal assumption, treated it like ancient constitutional granite, polished it with precedent, and handed it back to the country as though the debate had already been settled by Moses on Sinai.
(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) “Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” —Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms (1775)
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Televangelist Marcus Lamb of the Daystar Television Network died in 2021, and his parents died a decade before, but they were all listed as board members or registered agents in a 2024 corporate filing to Texas Secretary of State from Daystar affiliate WPXS Inc. In a separate case, the National Center for Faith-Based Initiative in Florida also listed a dead individual in its corporate filings.
(Mary Dowling) Democratic socialists, who are communists, are replacing Democrats throughout the country. With the communists who have won their primaries or will win them and communists already in Congress, Democrats are looking at Communists winning 20 seats in the House and some in the Senate, enough to have their own little communist caucus. That is enough to shut down the government and stop all kinds of laws if Democrats take over the House.
“Anti-Genesis activists routinely grant greater emotional urgency to animal suffering than to abortion. This contradiction is so glaring that it will blind anyone willing to look at it honestly. The same political coalitions horrified by fishing hooks also defend the dismemberment of unborn babies as “healthcare.” The same culture demanding legal protections for animals increasingly celebrates gender ideology that denies the created distinction between male and female (
(Amy Spreeman – Berean Research) One of the most effective ways false teaching slips into a church isn’t through outright denial of biblical truth. More often, it comes disguised in familiar Christian language that sounds fine at first glance.
“Those who want a centralized economic system run by various governments are sacrificing their own freedom and supporting a police state. There has never been a communist government without one. There are many foolish people on this planet, and the rise of progressive governance supports that statement.”
“Assuming the GOP nominates a pro-Israel candidate in 2028, there’s a high probability that the woke right will switch sides. That’s what single-issue voters do. Which is why the Republican Party would be wise to steal a page from William F. Buckley’s playbook: Attack and discredit the leaders of the woke right BEFORE the 2028 election. Expose them as crackpots. Expel them from the conservative movement.”
(Protestia) Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, longtime friend and partner of the late John MacArthur, and one of our favorite people ever, 
“The Democrat Party is being cannibalized from the inside, and its leadership has no idea what to do about it. Now you’ve got a sitting senator publicly suggesting her own party’s top two leaders need to go.”
FLASHBACK FRIDAY!
“Here is found the most fundamental difference between liberalism and Christianity —liberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphant indicative; liberalism appeals to man’s will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.”
(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares) Every parent’s worst nightmare is becoming reality faster than we imagined. In 2025 and into 2026, reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse material surged — with some hotlines seeing increases of over 
“No Democrat is safe. Just look at NY-10, where Brad Lander demolished Rep. Dan Goldman, grabbing nearly 65% of the vote. Goldman was one of the loudest anti-Trump voices in Congress, and he led impeachment efforts against President Trump. None of that mattered. His support for Israel and his refusal to endorse Mamdani are the reasons he lost.”
(Veronika Kyrylenko – The New American) A new investigation by journalist Max Blumenthal argues that The Charlie Kirk Show came under the control of a federally registered agent of Israel after Kirk was killed.
“Leavitt compared his client’s allegations to the Obama-era Fast and Furious scandal in which the federal government allowed semiautomatic weapons to flow across the border to the drug cartels, putting American lives in danger.”
“At first, the [Cuckoo] egg looks harmless. It is just a conference, a book study, a worship song, a guest speaker, a “revival culture” seminar, or a prophetic ministry night. But once the egg is accepted, it begins to grow inside a nest that others built. The church may still have the old name on the sign, but the spiritual DNA inside the church begins to change.”
Bill Johnson’s endorsement of it is featured prominently on its website, where he hypes it as “one of the greatest things to happen with Bible translation in my lifetime.”
“The practices of silence and solitude are not about what is often called “quiet time” when one is having time alone to read the Bible or pray. These practices involve cultivating a state of silence, sometimes using certain techniques to quiet the mind, which can induce self-hypnosis. It is taught that one must be still and silent in order to commune with God more intimately, to perhaps “hear” God, to know God more deeply, and/or to experience his love. None of the practices discussed above is modeled or taught in Scripture, either explicitly or implicitly. Moreover, they do not reflect the Bible’s teachings on prayer, and that one knows God through Christ and is transformed by the Holy Spirit.”
“Donald Trump — a man the MAGAverse trusts, respects, and admires — thought highly enough of him to elevate him to the vice presidency. If that’s not a glowing testimonial, I don’t know what is. But we don’t really know what’s in his heart.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) While I am typically reluctant to delve into complex international political stories — my expertise is closer to home — this one is almost impossible to ignore. Also, the internet is the place where people go to pontificate on subjects about which they know nothing. Kidding. I know something, but I won’t be pontificating.
