      On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced he will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

      Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, was shot during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Trump later that day announced his death.

      “Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” Trump said on Thursday.

      “We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and courage put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” the president continued.

      Trump made the announcement during a ceremony at the Pentagon to commemorate the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks.

      The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the U.S. Trump said that the day of that ceremony would be announced soon, adding he thought it would surely draw a big crowd.

      A manhunt for Kirk’s killer is still underway.

      The FBI said on Thursday it has recovered what is believed to be the weapon used by the shooter, and officials said the suspect is believed to be a college-aged individual.

        On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania attended a ceremony commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon. Today marks 24 years since the tragic terror attack.

        Earlier Thursday, a large American flag was draped across the west side of the building — marking the area that was struck by American Airlines Flight 77.

        Watch:

        According to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, 2,977 people died during the terror attacks — including 2,753 in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon and 40 on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. 

        Later, the president is expected to travel to New York to attend a Yankees game.

        Report: Trump FCC Chair Willing To Revoke Media Broadcast Licenses

        By

        Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr is making waves in Washington by refusing to give corporate media a free pass. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Carr said he is prepared to hold powerful broadcasters accountable if they cross the line, even suggesting their licenses could be at risk.

        “Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows,” Carr declared, emphasizing that media companies must serve the public interest—not just their own political agenda.

        Unlike past FCC chairs who often looked the other way, Carr has embraced President Trump’s call to challenge the entrenched power of legacy outlets. He noted that Trump shattered the illusion that the mainstream press acts as neutral gatekeepers of truth, exposing the bias that millions of Americans already sensed.

        Taking on Comcast and NBC

        Carr has already taken steps to ensure media giants like Comcast are not misleading the public. Following concerns about the company’s partisan coverage and questionable diversity policies, Carr launched two investigations into Comcast’s practices.

        In April, Carr accused Comcast of misleading Americans with its reporting on a high-profile deportation case. By July, he expanded the review to include whether NBC affiliates were truly serving their communities as required under federal law.

        The standard Carr cites dates back to 1934, which requires broadcasters to act in the “public interest, convenience, and necessity.” While critics claim such standards are outdated, Carr argues that the law remains clear: if companies are given privileged access to America’s airwaves, they must be held accountable to the public.

        The FCC has rarely revoked a broadcast license—most notably in 1971 when a Mississippi station defended segregation—but Carr has signaled he’s willing to use that authority again if necessary.

        Fully Aligned With Trump’s Agenda

        Carr has been at the FCC since 2017 and makes no secret that he supports the president’s approach. “We are fully aligned with the agenda that President Trump is running,” he told the Journal.

        For Carr, this means standing up to the mainstream press, protecting Americans from being misled, and ensuring that media companies don’t abuse their privileged position.

        Critics Push Back

        Of course, media lawyers and progressive watchdog groups are sounding the alarm. Robert Corn-Revere of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression complained to the Journal that Carr’s actions are political. But for millions of conservatives, Carr’s willingness to confront biased outlets is long overdue.

        By leaning in rather than playing the old Washington “independence” game, Carr is showing he’s willing to take bold steps to ensure the public gets fair and honest coverage—not just the partisan spin of corporate media.

        Rosie O’Donnell Blames Trump For Missing Daughter’s Graduation

          Liberal expatriate Rosie O’Donnell is putting the blame on Trump once again…

          The Hollywood liberal says she didn’t attend her daughter’s college graduation because of security concerns related to her long-standing feud with President Trump.

          “My daughter graduated college, and I didn’t go back because the security people said to me they didn’t think it was wise,” the comedian said in an interview on the “No Filter” podcast released this week.

          “Because I think Trump will use me to rile his base,” O’Donnell, 63, continued.

          “I’m his nemesis in his mind and to them … to like a third of the country,” the former “The View” co-host and longtime critic of Trump said.

          The public battle between O’Donnell and Trump began nearly two decades ago after the comic referred to the then-New York real estate developer as a “snake oil salesman.” Trump over the years has ripped O’Donnell, calling her “unattractive,” “mentally sick” and a “loser,” while she’s dubbed him a “criminal con man” and “cheater.”

          O’Donnell moved from the U.S. to Ireland just days ahead of Trump’s inauguration in January. 

          “It was not a political statement as much as it was self-preservation,” she said of her exit from the country.

          In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly threatened to strip O’Donnell of her American citizenship, calling her a “threat to humanity.”

          O’Donnell, speaking with podcast host Kate Langbroek, described her move to Ireland as “quite a success.”

          “People say to me, ‘Why do you still talk about [Trump] and the country if you left?’ Well, I never gave up my citizenship, nor would I, although I’m getting my dual citizenship to become an Irish citizen as well, because my grandparents are from Ireland,” the “A League of Their Own” actor said.

          “I care about my country. I love my country. I am very patriotic, and I knew that I would not be able to deal with what was about to happen, and it certainly has,” O’Donnell said.

          Judge Rules Lisa Cook May Stay In Role – For Now

            Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her position after a bombshell ruling by a federal judge that followed President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to fire her.

            On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee based in Washington, D.C., said that she will be moving Cook’s request into a preliminary injunction, which allows Cook to stay in her role, but will last through the entire case until a decision is made, pending any appeal from the government.

            The judge said Cook has shown “irreparable harm” in her time away from the Federal Reserve as she is one of the leaders in controlling monetary policy, adding that “she has lost the ability to fulfill a high-ranking, public-servant role to which she is entitled.”

            Fox Business reports:

            The decision, which follows the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Cook over allegations of mortgage application fraud, is the latest revelation in a high-stakes lawsuit likely headed to the Supreme Court. The probe could further complicate Cook’s fight to stay in her role on the Fed board, the panel of central bankers tasked with guiding the nation’s monetary policy.

            After a hearing that lasted more than two hours on Aug. 29, Cobb indicated she would move quickly on the case — specifically on whether Trump acted unlawfully in seeking to fire Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.

            Still, she also acknowledged the inherent complexities of the case and the novel requests that both Cook’s lawyers and lawyers for the Justice Department were grappling with for the first time in court. 

            Last week, Cobb granted a request from Cook’s attorneys seeking additional time to file their formal motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO).

            The TRO is a short-term, emergency court order designed to maintain the status quo until a full hearing can be held. In plain terms, Cook asked the court to pause the firing and keep her in office until a full legal hearing can determine whether Trump’s removal was lawful.

            The legal battle kicked off last month when Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was firing Cook amid claims by his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, that she had committed mortgage fraud.

            Trump ousted Cook on Aug. 25, which prompted her to sue him in federal court three days later. Her lawsuit names as defendants Trump, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

            Pulte claimed that Cook used an Atlanta condo as her primary home, two weeks after taking a loan on a Michigan home she also declared as her primary residence.

            “You are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” Trump wrote in a letter that accompanied the post.

            Cook’s lawsuit argues that Trump’s move to fire her is unlawful and undermines the Federal Reserve’s independence. The suit, which was filed in federal court on Aug. 28, does not address the allegations that Cook listed multiple houses as a primary residence on mortgage filings. 

            Under the law, Cook has not been charged with any crimes.

            Supreme Court Permits Trump To Remove FTC Member

              The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday gave President Donald Trump an important win in his effort to hold unelected regulators accountable, temporarily blocking a lower court order that had reinstated Democratic commissioner Rebecca Slaughter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

              Chief Justice John Roberts issued an administrative stay, granting the justices more time to consider the administration’s formal request to remove Slaughter before her term expires. Roberts also directed Slaughter to file a response by next week.

              Lower Courts Tried to Shield FTC Bureaucrat

              The dispute stems from a July ruling by a D.C. district judge who said Trump could not remove Slaughter, citing outdated removal protections. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling in September in a 2-1 decision, relying on the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor v. United States precedent. That case limited President Franklin Roosevelt’s ability to fire an FTC commissioner purely over policy disagreements.

              Supporters of Trump’s position argue that this nearly 90-year-old ruling no longer reflects the modern FTC, which today wields sweeping power over antitrust enforcement and consumer protection—authority that directly impacts the American economy.

              White House Argues for Executive Authority

              In its Supreme Court filing, the administration emphasized that “the modern FTC exercises far more substantial powers than the 1935 FTC,” and therefore its members should be subject to presidential removal, just like other executive branch officials.

              The Supreme Court has already recognized in recent cases that presidents must have the authority to fire those who exercise executive power on their behalf. Trump’s legal team says this case is no different.

              A Pattern of Wins at the High Court

              Since Trump’s return to the White House in January, his administration has repeatedly pushed back against lower courts that tried to block his policies. The Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, has largely sided with the administration, reaffirming the president’s constitutional authority to carry out his agenda without interference from unelected bureaucrats or activist judges.

              Homeland Security Announces ‘Midway Blitz’ ICE Operation in Chicago

              The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched its latest immigration crackdown on Monday, targeting Chicago.

              “DHS is launching Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in a drunk driving hit-and-run car wreck caused by criminal illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol in Illinois,” DHS wrote on the social platform X.

              “This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” DHS added, referring to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D).

              Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents already have been deployed to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and also rolled out operations in Boston over the weekend as part of President Trump’s sweeping anti-illegal immigration agenda, prompting protests across the country this summer.

              The latest effort marks an anticipated ramp-up of the initiatives.

              Widely-Rumored 2028 Democrat Presidential Contender Takes His Name Out of Consideration

              One down…

              Over the weekend, a popular Democrat governor widely believed to be a top 2028 presidential contender officially took his name out of the running.

              Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Sunday said he is “not running for president” in ’28 — knocking out one of the top contenders to lead the Democratic ticket, three years before the election.

              Moore, while appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, was asked by host Kristen Welker if he plans on serving a full term if he wins reelection as governor next year. He told Welker he does plan on serving the full four-year term — leading her to clarify that means he is removing himself from the ’28 field.

              “Do you rule out a run for president, governor?” Welker asked him.

              “Yeah, I’m not running for president,” Moore responded.

              She responded: “You rule it out?”

              Moore then told her “Yes, I’m not running for president.”

              At that point, Welker asked him once again to clarify his intentions, asking if he “completely” ruled it out.

              Here is what Moore said:

              “I’m so excited about what we’re doing. That we’ve gone from 43rd in the country in unemployment to now one of the lowest unemployment rates. We’ve had amongst the fastest drops in violent crime anywhere in the United States of America. Our population is growing. Maryland is moving, and so I’m really excited about going back in front of the people of my state and asking for another term.”

              Watch:

              Last month, Kalshi betting market put Moore at 6% odds to be the party’s nominee — which came in fourth behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) at 20%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 15%, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (D) at 10%. The president site Polymarket also had Moore as a top five contender.

              In 2024, the Maryland Governor faced controversy after falsely claiming to be a Bronze Star recipient on a 2006 White House fellowship application. 

              Moore, who was 27 years old when he applied for the White House position, blamed his Army superiors for the inclusion of the falsehood on the application and said he never corrected the mistake because he was eager to “begin the next phase” of his life, in a statement released after the New York Times reported on the embellishment. 

              “These are the facts,” the Maryland governor wrote in his lengthy statement. “While serving overseas with the Army, I was encouraged to fill out an application for the White House Fellowship by my deputy brigade commander. In fact, he helped me edit it before I sent it in. At the time, he had recommended me for the Bronze Star. He told me to include the Bronze Star award on my application after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.” 

              Moore noted that his deputy brigade commander “felt comfortable with instructing me to include the award” on the application because he was under the impression that the medal for heroic or meritorious service had already been “approved by his senior leadership.” 

              “In the military, there is an understanding that if a senior officer tells you that an action is approved, you can trust that as a fact. That is why it was part of the application, plain and simple,” the governor explained. 

              “Towards the end of my deployment, I was disappointed to learn that I hadn’t received the Bronze Star. But I was ready to begin the next phase of my life,” Moore continued. 

              Moore deployed to Afghanistan as a lieutenant with the 82nd Airborne Division in 2005, according to his official governor’s biography. 

              Moore was ultimately awarded the Bronze Star in December 2024 for his deployment to Afghanistan.

              Airbnb Co-Founder Opens Up About Leaving Democrat Party to Support Trump

              Earlier this week, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia opened up about why he decided to leave the Democrat Party to support President Donald Trump.

              During an interview with former White House official Katie Miller – the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller – Gebbia revealed how he became drawn to the Republican Party through Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the crisis at the southern border.

              “At what point did you know in the last election that you were like, ‘I wanna help President Trump’? Was it Bobby Kennedy and your love for MAHA? Like, what was it?” asked Miller on The Katie Miller Podcast.

              Gebbia responded, “I’ve been on my journey. Everyone’s been on a journey, and I think through, you know, certainly Bobby Kennedy and supporting him, and I’ve been so grateful for the work that he’s doing, to be somebody who just cares so much about the health of our nation, and you know, has no ties to industry and is really just able to bust through walls and sort of, like, right size the ship.”

              The Airbnb co-founder revealed that he “grew up in an alternative medicine, health food household,” which made him gravitate towards Kennedy when he ran for president on a “Make America Healthy Again” platform.

              Watch:

              However, Gebbia told Miller it was the crisis at the southern border that ultimately made him lose faith in the Democratic Party and become a Republican.

              “I think it was early 2021, mid-2021, the activity at the border caught my attention, and I just remember thinking, ‘What’s going on with this topic? It seems as if there’s no border,’” he said. “And as it got worse that year, I felt like I needed to understand this problem more, so I reached out to my friends, largely on the Democratic side of the house, at all levels, from the highest level all the way down.”

              Gebbia said that while he received “some answers” from friends in the Democratic Party, he ultimately “felt unfulfilled,” and so decided to talk to former Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner about the issue:

              I get on the phone with Jared and say, “Hey, can you help me? Fill in the gaps for me. Like, what am I missing here? Is this normal? Like, seems there’s no enforcement of our own border. Like, don’t nations need borders to be a nation?” And so he put me on this curriculum of just talking to experts in the field, and I remember just being like holy cow, this is crazy. Like, this is not right. This is a real problem and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be enforcing the laws of our country and our border. And so I think, as I started to pull on that thread, I sort of, you know, begin to look at other topics and eventually came to the point where I don’t think I can support a political party that wants to have an open border, that lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country. That’s just not something I can get behind.

              DeSantis Opens ‘Deportation Depot’ in Florida a Day After Alligator Alcatraz Court Victory

              Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has opened “Deportation Depot” migrant detention center in Florida, a follow-up to the embattled “Alligator Alcatraz.”

              “Deportation Depot” is located about 45 miles away from Jacksonville in the community of Sanderson, at the site of the Baker Correctional Institution.

              The facility has the capacity for 1,500 detainees, Fox News reported. As of Friday, a little over 100 migrants had been moved there.

              DeSantis said last month that he moved to begin work on a new facility to fulfill an urgent need for more shelter for illegal migrants as they’re rounded up by ICE agents throughout the state.

              “There is a demand for this,” DeSantis told reporters at the time. “I’m confident that it will be filled.”

              The opening of the new facility came a day after the $250 million “Alligator Alcatraz” was granted a rare win by an appeals court.

              The detention center was ordered to ship out all detainees and close within 60 days. The ruling by Judge Kathleen M. Williams stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the Friends of the Everglades and the Miccosukee Tribe that accused the Sunshine State of violating the National Environmental Policy Act.

              A stay on Williams’ ruling was granted by a three-judge panel in Atlanta on Thursday, pending an appeal. “Alligator Alcatraz” can continue holding detainees for now.

              In a video posted on his X account Thursday, DeSantis declared: “The mission continues on immigration enforcement.”

              Until yesterday, “Alligator Alcatraz” faced a series of legal and PR losses, with some detainees alleging mistreatment.
