FBI Director Kash Patel appears on Fox News this morning to outline more details and evidence in the investigation of Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, and his transgender roommate Lance Twiggs.
Director Patel also outlined his personal importance to the investigation outcomes and how his involvement was key to solving the identity of the suspect. Patel notes how he is “quarterbacking” the investigation. WATCH:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

A tribute to the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk was held at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on Sunday September 14, 2025. Many political leaders and conservatives from the region attended the service and delivered remarks in tribute to Charlie Kirk and the impact he had on so many.
Here is the video of the event.

Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.
The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.
Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would be keeping Patel/Bongino tied up with busy work, and stuff to go on TV about.
That said, we don’t want him to fail, but Director Patel has walked himself into a gauntlet of consequence that will be difficult to exit given his lack of discernment – evidenced in the events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The people in control of FBI field operations (not Kash), set up their agency head by informing the boss a suspect was in custody.
The ever focused on public opinion, Director Kash Patel, then took to Twitter at 6:21 pm on September 10th to relay the news. According to media reports Patel was just about to eat dinner at a swanky New York City restaurant when he sent the text message.
We all watched it unfold.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson appears on Face the Nation to give his thoughts on the murder of Charlie Kirk. CBS’s Major Garrett brings the conversation into Washington DC, asking how the assassination of Charlie Kirk is impacting the members of Congress.
Yes Alice, in the epicenter of all things narcissistic and self-centered, the discussion always has to focus on how it impacts them. Go figure. WATCH:
[Transcript] MAJOR GARRETT: The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who joins us this morning from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, it’s good to see you. I appreciate your time. The burdens of speakership are always manifold. You know that. Previous speakers I’ve covered know that, but they feel particularly heavy after the events of this week. I just want to ask you, Mr. Speaker, how are you doing?
There are three background facets worth discussing in the Charlie Kirk assassination. To wit, a fulsome historic reference is likely worth creating, so we can all evaluate information with a similar baseline.
(1) The background of events in the lead to Charlie Kirk’s murder; (2) the post-shooting activity of the FBI; and (3) the reality of motive carried by the 22-year-old assassin, Tyler Robinson. All three of these issues are separate and distinct; however, some people are dangerously merging them together. This should be avoided.
To help avoid conflation that happens, it is worth addressing all three issues separately and comprehensively. In this outline we address the first, the background events swirling around TPUSA and Kirk prior to the shooting.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a donor funded organization. Within the business of engaging causes of worth it takes money, often a lot of money, to run the core logistics of the operation. With Charlie Kirk removed from TPUSA’s mission, I hope their donors and supporters remain fully engaged and are able to expand on his life’s work.
Back in 2022, the same background financial interests who were structuring the presidential run of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also supported TPUSA.
Part of that collaboration surfaced in mid-August ’22, when DeSantis exited his five-days of silence in the aftermath of the FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate (August 8, 2022).
In the lead to the election campaign, DeSantis came out of his bunker directly into a promotional tour for his book, The Courage to be Free.
The Florida governor joined TPUSA as several events to increase his national profile. As a natural outcome TPUSA was funded for a short time by the same people funding the DeSantis long-term launch. Many of these donors were already part of the TPUSA financial system; it was a natural convergence.
To his credit, Charlie Kirk viewed the DeSantis effort as supporting a solid conservative, a fellow in the bigger battle, and yet remained supportive of Donald Trump throughout the collaboration and into the presidential primary once DeSantis formally announced over a year later.
Recently, when discussing the tragic event of Kirk’s assassination, Tucker Carlson noted Charlie Kirk took a lot of donor backlash for a shift in his position around the issue of Israel and the overwhelming retaliation taking place in Gaza.
Both groups, professional evangelicals and strong Israel supporters, took exception to Kirk questioning the attack on Iran and the ongoing decisions by the Israeli government to continue bombardment of Gaza. WATCH:

In a brutally honest Truth Social post today, President Trump calls out the EU/NATO nations to stop buying Russian energy products if they want him to lead the imposition of stronger sanctions against Russia.
The “coalition of the willing” has been openly and privately applying public pressure upon President Trump to push stronger sanctions against Russia. However, at the same time the EU/NATO are making these demands, they are also purchasing Russian energy products as delivered through third parties.
So today, President Trump posts this:

A non-diplomatic way of saying, ‘put up or shut up.’
Those of you who understand business terms can well understand “making the monkey jump.” President Trump is not taking their monkey.
This is a direct response to the public statements being made by EU/NATO leadership, who are -by design- trying to put the responsibility onto President Trump, and defer all their own culpability in the process.
This is similar to the approach President Trump took in 2018 when he very publicly called out German Chancellor Angela Merkel for continuing the Nordstream II Pipeline deal with Russia while simultaneously expecting President Trump to fortify NATO against Russia.
