    Police Arrest Man For Disturbing Act At Charlie Kirk Memorial

    A sick individual…

    Law enforcement authorities arrested a man for desecrating a memorial honoring the late political activist Charlie Kirk over the weekend.

    Fox News cameras were rolling as the man walked through the memorial, kicking over items including flowers, vases and flags. A mourner gathered at the memorial stepped in to stop the man’s sick actions. A man in a blue polo shirt is seen yanking the man out of the memorial and throwing him to the ground. 

    Phoenix police identified the alleged vandal as 19-year-old Ryder Corral. In video of Corral’s arrest, he appears to be wearing a shirt similar to the one worn by the man suspected of assassinating Kirk. 

    Watch:

    Corral was wearing a black shirt featuring an American flag and an eagle. The shirt resembles the shirt worn by Tyler Robinson when he allegedly shot and killed Kirk while he was speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. 

    Police also reported that neither Corral nor any of the witnesses who held him on the scene had sustained any injuries โ€” and that the 19-year-old would face multiple charges, including โ€œcriminal damage and disorderly conduct.โ€

    Local law enforcement then escorted Corral away from the area. He is now in custody at the Maricopa County Jail on one count of criminal damage and one count of disorderly conduct, according to Phoenix Police Department Public Information Sergeant Philip Krynsky.

    On Friday, law enforcement officials arrested the man accused of shooting and killing Kirk, in Utah after a frantic 33-hour manhunt. 

    Kirk, a husband and father, was fatally struck by a single bullet Wednesday while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. Kirk was rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 31 years old.

    President Donald Trump said the young man who shot and killed Kirk had been โ€œtotally radicalizedโ€ and made โ€œcrazyโ€ by liberal ideology, and also expressed sympathy for the suspect assassinโ€™s parents, saying they seemed like โ€œvery nice people.โ€

    The presidentโ€™s comments were made while addressing a small crowd at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Saturday evening.

    โ€œSo many things have been learned about [the shooter] so quickly,โ€ Trump. said. โ€œHeโ€™s become totally radicalized and crazy and it must have been traumatic. Because the parents are conservative people, supposed to be very nice people living in Utah.โ€

    Trump continued: โ€œThe father turns in the son. Boy, thatโ€™s a tough deal.โ€

    Additional information about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspected killer, has been reported over the weekend.

    Fox News and other outlets on Saturday reported Robinson was living with his trans partner at the time of the slaying, and that partner is now โ€œfully cooperatingโ€ with the FBI on its investigation. The New York Times reported Robinson had scrawled the phrases โ€œhey fascist! CATCH!โ€ and โ€œBella Ciao,โ€ which it said was โ€œpopularized as an antifascist anthem,โ€ on bullet casings. And in a video clip that has went viral on X and elsewhere, a young man who said he was a former classmate of Robinsonโ€™s said he was a โ€œReddit kidโ€ who had his brain warped by the social platform.

    President Trump has said that he will attend Kirkโ€™s funeral in Arizona this week, saying he has an โ€œobligationโ€ to do so.

    Lara Trump Steps Down From RNC Amid Senate Rumors

    Lara Trump has announced her plans to step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) after accomplishing her goals.

    In an announcement on X, Trump’s stepdaughter said she reached her three main objectives after Donald Trump won a landslide re-election.

    “With that big win, I kind of feel like my time is up,” she said. “What I intended to do has been done.”

    Her sudden departure has prompted speculation the Trump family member is eyeing a potential run to replace Florida Sen.ย Marco Rubioย (R), whom her father-in-law,ย President-elect Trump,ย picked to be Secretary of State.

    โ€œIt is something I would seriously consider,โ€ Lara has told outlets in reference to a run for Senate.

    โ€œIf Iโ€™m being completely transparent, I donโ€™t know exactly what they would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that is real for me,โ€ Trump added.

    โ€œBut yeah, I would 100 percent consider it.โ€

    Trump, whoย was electedย to lead the RNC alongside fellow chairย Michael Whatleyย in March added that Whatley will remain as RNC chair.

    Florida Gov.ย Ron DeSantisย (R) will choose Rubioโ€™s replacement if the senator is confirmed to lead the State Department. That replacement would serve until 2026, when a special election will be held to determine who will serve the remaining two years of Rubioโ€™s term.

    Lara Trumpย joined Fox Newsย on Sunday and was asked about the vacant seat that Sen.ย Marco Rubioย (R-Fla.) left open after being tapped by her father-in-law to be secretary of State.

    โ€œSome may say itโ€™s an asset, some may say itโ€™s not an asset,โ€ she said of her last name. โ€œI think it depends how you look at it.โ€

    Certainly, you know, weโ€™ve all had the opportunity over the past nine years really to fully involve ourselves in politics, to understand the American people, what they want, and weโ€™ve all been residents for the state of Florida now for over three years. If thatโ€™s something thatโ€™s put in front of me, it would be a true honor. But, yeah, look, I think probably my last name does heighten my political profile a little bit, but Iโ€™ve got a proven track record. Iโ€™ve been co-chair of the RNC during the most consequential election of our lifetime. We were so proud of what we did at the RNC making sure that there was election integrity, making sure we got the early vote on, making sure we turned out low propensity voters and raising huge amounts of money. So I would say that my track record speaks for itself. Maybe having the last name Trump is just a little bit extra. Iโ€™m always happy to have it.

    Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk Endorses JD Vance For President In 2028

    PHOENIX โ€” Erika Kirk, the chief executive of Turning Point USA and the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, formally endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president in 2028 on Thursday, offering an early show of support that drew sustained applause at the groupโ€™s AmericaFest conference.

    Kirkโ€™s remarks, delivered before a packed ballroom of activists and donors, marked one of the earliest high-profile endorsements of the post-Trump era, signaling that influential conservative organizations are already looking ahead, years before that period formally begins.

    A Long-Term Strategy for the Right

    Framing her endorsement as part of a broader political plan, Kirk said Turning Point USA is focused less on individual races and more on reshaping the electoral map.

    โ€œFor both 2026 and 2028, weโ€™re investing in states and not just in races,โ€ Kirk said. โ€œSo what I mean by that is we are building the red wall โ€” Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire. Thatโ€™s going to be very important to us.โ€

    She stressed that the immediate goal remains protecting Republican majorities in Congress to support President Donald Trumpโ€™s second-term agenda.

    โ€œWeโ€™re going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years,โ€ she said.

    A Line That Lit Up the Room

    Kirkโ€™s most forceful moment came when she turned directly to the next presidential cycle.

    โ€œWe are going to get my husbandโ€™s friend, JD Vance, elected for โ€™28 in the most resounding way possible,โ€ she said, drawing cheers and a standing ovation from much of the crowd.

    The endorsement is notable for its timing. With nearly three years to go before the next presidential election, few Republican leaders have been willing to publicly line up behind a successor.

    Vance: Focused on the Job for Now

    Vance has not announced a presidential campaign and has repeatedly said his attention remains on his role as vice president.

    In an interview last month with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Vance acknowledged he has thought about what comes next, but said he avoids dwelling on it.

    โ€œIโ€™ve thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure,โ€ Vance said. โ€œBut whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now.โ€

    He warned that premature ambition can be counterproductive.

    โ€œIf you start getting distracted and focus on what comes next, I think it actually makes you worse at the job that you have,โ€ Vance said.

    For now, he said, the administrationโ€™s political focus is straightforward.

    • Win the 2026 midterms
    • Hold Republican majorities
    • Revisit future plans after that

    โ€œAnd then after that, Iโ€™m going to sit down with the president of the United States and talk to him about it,โ€ Vance said.

    A Crowded Field Taking Shape

    Kirkโ€™s endorsement comes as early maneuvering intensifies within the Republican Party. Vance is widely viewed as a top-tier contender, but he is far from alone.

    Other Republicans frequently mentioned as possible 2028 candidates include:

    • Secretary of State Marco Rubio
    • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
    • Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
    • Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp
    • Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin
    • Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul

    At the same AmericaFest gathering, ideological tensions within the conservative movement were also on display. Media figures Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson took public shots at one another, reflecting broader disagreements over the direction of the right and Carlsonโ€™s past platforming of far-right figures, like white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

    An Early Marker for 2028

    Still, Kirkโ€™s remarks underscore the influence of Turning Point USA and its ability to mobilize young activists, donors, and grassroots organizers nationwide.

    With the 2026 midterms looming and 2028 already on the minds of key players, her endorsement serves as an early marker of where some of the conservative movement hopes to go next โ€” and a sign that JD Vance is already being positioned as a central figure in the GOPโ€™s future.

    Nobel Laureate Praises Trumpโ€™s Tough Stance on Maduro

    Nobel Peace Prize winner Marรญa Corina Machado, one of Venezuelaโ€™s most prominent pro-democracy leaders, is strongly backing President Donald Trumpโ€™s hard-line approach toward Nicolรกs Maduroโ€™s authoritarian regime. In a new interview that aired Sunday on CBSโ€™s Face the Nation, Machado said Trumpโ€™s strategy has given hope to millions of Venezuelans suffering under socialist rule.

    Asked whether she supports increased U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan officials and further U.S. seizures of illicit oil shipments, Machado was unequivocal.

    โ€œLook, I absolutely support President Trumpโ€™s strategy, and we, the Venezuelan people, are very grateful to him and to his administration, because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere,โ€ Machado told host Margaret Brennan.

    Speaking from Oslo, where she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize after spending nearly a year in hiding, Machado noted that she had dedicated part of the award to Trump.

    โ€œI think that he finally has put Venezuela in where it should be, in terms of a priority for the United Statesโ€™ national security.โ€

    Machado argued that Maduroโ€™s regime is far more dangerous than a conventional dictatorship.

    โ€œThis is a very complex criminal structure that has turned Venezuela into a safe haven of international crime and terrorist activities, starting with Russia, Iran, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Colombian guerrilla [groups], [and] the drug cartels operating freely and directed in partnership with Maduro and his regime.โ€

    Machado has long been one of Maduroโ€™s most effective opposition figures. After she overwhelmingly won the opposition primary in 2023, the regime barred her from running, then orchestrated an election that independent experts later declared โ€œmathematically and statistically impossible.โ€ Despite that, Maduro claimed victory and refused to relinquish power. Machado endorsed a stand-in candidate but remained the movementโ€™s central figureโ€”until she was forced into hiding for her safety.

    Now, speaking publicly for the first time in months, Machado is calling for increased international pressure.

    โ€œWe want every legal action through law enforcement โ€ฆ not only from the United States, also from other Caribbean, Latin American and European countries that further block the illegal activities of the regime.โ€

    Her argument is straightforward:

    โ€œWe need to increase the cost of staying in power by force. Once you arrive to that point in which the cost of staying in power is higher than the cost of leaving power, the regime will fall apart. And itโ€™s the moment where we advance into a negotiated transition.โ€

    Additional Context: Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize

    Machadoโ€™s praise comes as Trump has repeatedly been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, particularly for:

    • The Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nationsโ€”an achievement some foreign-policy experts called one of the most important diplomatic breakthroughs in decades.
    • His diplomatic efforts in reducing tensions with North Korea, which earned him multiple nominations from European lawmakers.
    • His support for democracy movements in Latin America, including Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

    Trump Endorses Ex-McCarthy Aide To Fill Open Seat

    This is a big boost…

    Former President Donald Trump has chosen to throw his support behind ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthyโ€™s chosen successor for his empty seat in Congress, Vince Fong.

    Fong, a California Assembly member who worked as McCarthyโ€™s district director for almost a decade, is one of nine candidates running to replace him in Central Valley for his House seat.

    Fox News has more:

    “I am proud to join Californiaโ€™s Republican Congressional Delegation, and give Vince Fong my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Vince was one of only 6 Republicans in the State Assembly to stand with me, and reject the Second Impeachment Hoax. In Congress, Vince will work with me to Grow the Economy, Lower your Taxes, Cut Burdensome Regulations, Champion American Energy, and Protect and Defend the Second Amendment, which is under siege by the Radical Left.”

    Endorsing Boudreaux last month, Grenell and Patel described him as the anti-establishment, America First choice.ย “Sheriff Mike Boudreaux is an America First patriot who has proven he is a principled fighter for freedom,” Grenell said, The Porterville Recorder reported at the time. “California needs leaders with courage to stand up to Washington bureaucrats. His record proves he is the right choice for the Valley.”

    Patel said,ย “Sheriff Boudreaux is the kind of leader we need in Congress, one with the courage to stand up and fight, not back down, and put American first,” The Recorder reported.

    Trumpโ€™s endorsement of Fong is likely to give him a boost with voters who may have been wary over his years-long ties to the GOP establishment. Fong wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, soon after the former presidentโ€™s announcement, “Thank youโ€ฆ for your endorsement! Letโ€™s get to work to secure the border, improve our economy, and defend our water and energy resources!”

    Trump Reveals Biden Left ‘Inspirational Letter’ For Him In Resolute Desk

    President Donald Trump described the letter former President Biden left him inside the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as “inspirational” and teased reporters that he may release the “very nice” note at some point.

    Trump was asked about the letter, which he found inside the Resolute Desk on Monday with a little help from Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, during a press conference announcing a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure.

    “It was a very nice letter,” Trump told reporters. “It was a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.”

    The president added that he appreciated the letter so much that he may release it to the public.

    “It was a positive, for him, in writing it,” Trump continued. “I appreciated the letter.”

    Trump found the letter โ€“ addressed to “47โ€ณ โ€“ after Doocy asked if President Biden left him a letter while he was signing a flurry of executive orders in the Oval Office on Monday in front of a gaggle of reporters.

    “He may have. Donโ€™t they leave it in the desk? I donโ€™t know,” Trump told Doocy before discovering the white envelope. “Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before we found this thing.”

    “As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people โ€“ and people around the world โ€“ look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.

    “May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.”

    The letter was signed “Joe Biden” and dated Jan. 20, 2025.

    The presidential tradition of leaving a letter to their successor began in 1989 when President Ronald Reagan left the White House after two terms in office, with former President George H. W. Bush taking over.

    Bush continued the tradition despite losing the White House to former President Bill Clinton after just one term in office. The tradition has carried on to this day through Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Trump and Biden.

    Biden has said Trump left him a “very generous letter,” but has so far declined to share the content of what Trump wrote, deeming it private.

    Republican Governor Admits He Did Not Vote For Trump In Primary

    An unexpected response…

    Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp recently disclosed he did not vote for Donald Trump in the state’s primary.

    Kemp in an interview with CNNโ€™s Kaitlin Collins on Wednesday, said he didnโ€™t vote for anyone in the stateโ€™s primary because the GOPโ€™s presidential race had already been decided.

    โ€œI voted, but I didnโ€™t vote for anybody. I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,โ€ Kemp told Collins. โ€œWell, it would be, for me, personally, politically, I mean it would be interesting if I hadโ€™ve voted for him, it would be interesting if I didnโ€™t, it would be interesting if I didnโ€™t vote at all.โ€ย 

    Watch:

    During his interview with Collins, Kemp said Trump should not focus on the 2020 or 2022 election during the debate.ย 

    โ€œI think that hurts him with swing voters. I mean from what Iโ€™m hearing from people, they are not focused on what happened in 2020 or 2022,โ€ he said.ย 

    Kemp and Trump have had a rocky relationship since Trumpโ€™s last year in office. In 2018, Kemp won the governorโ€™s mansion partly because of a Trump endorsement. 

    In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, where Biden defeated Trump in Georgia by 12,000 votes, Kemp pointedly pushed back against Trumpโ€™s election fraud claims, leading Trump to call him a โ€œclownโ€ and a โ€œfool.โ€ 

    Kemp endorsed Trump in March in a short statement, saying, โ€œI think heโ€™d be better than Joe Biden. Itโ€™s as simple as that.โ€

    Republican Senator Calls Trump’s Migration Plan A ‘Huge Mistake’

    Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) thinks President-elect Donald Trump should reconsider his deportation plan.

    On Monday, Trump responded to a Truth Social post by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who said that Trump is reportedly “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”

    “TRUE!!” Trump posted.

    Trump made a historic mass deportation campaign a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign, and his top officials have repeated that promise since he was elected this month.

    In an appearance on Newsmax, on Tuesday, Paul expressed his opposition to such a plan.

    Watch:

    โ€œI think what I would do if I were in charge of the immigration situation would be to first to go after those who have committed crimes. You know, the big news right before the election was that there were 15,000 people in our country who have committed murder, there are about 13,000 that have committed sex crimes, violent sex crimes. Thatโ€™s 28,000 people. Why donโ€™t we start with that 28,000?โ€ began Paul. โ€œIโ€™m not in favor of sending the army in uniforms into our cities to collect people. I think itโ€™s a terrible image. And thatโ€™s not what we use our military for, we never have. And itโ€™s actually been illegal for over 100 years to bring the army into our cities. Army and our military are trained to shoot the enemy. Theyโ€™re not trained to get a warrant to do what theyโ€™re doing. The police have a difficult job, but the people removing people from our country need to be a police enforcement domestic agency, not the military. So while Iโ€™m all for โ€˜Remain in Mexico,โ€™ I will not support an emergency to put the army into our cities. I think thatโ€™s a huge mistake.โ€

    โ€œDo you think thatโ€™s what what Trump is intending to do?โ€ asked hostย Rob Schmitt.

    โ€œWell, thatโ€™s what he said yesterday or his spokesman said, the stories all said he would declare an emergency to use the military to remove people. Iโ€™m not for that. Iโ€™m not for really most presidential emergencies because they smack of martial rule. They smack of of no congressional approval. They smack of no checks and balances,โ€ replied the senator. โ€œSo, look, Iโ€™m supportive of President Trump. Iโ€™m supportive of removing people illegally here, particularly people who have committed crimes. But Iโ€™m not for the Army marching up and down our streets. I think itโ€™s a terrible image to send the world. Itโ€™s a terrible image for us as citizens. And so I hope he will think twice about trying to use an emergency edict to have the army patrolling our country.โ€

    Michael Cohen Makes Plea To Trump For A Pardon

    On Tuesday, Michael Cohen, once President Donald Trumpโ€™s personal lawyer and later one of his fiercest critics, appeared on Dan Abramsโ€™ SiriusXM show to discuss a wide range of topicsโ€”from his treatment in prison to a plea for pardons.

    During the interview, Cohen revealed that he has written letters to both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump urging sweeping clemency for Americans with criminal records who have paid their debt to society. Reading from the letter he sent to Trump, Cohen said:

    โ€œIt is urged clearly, unequivocally, and without delay that the president issue an executive order granting a full and unconditional pardon to all non-violent felons who have completed their sentences. This act would be more than a gesture of compassion.โ€

    He continued:

    โ€œIt would be a defining stroke of moral leadership. Over 70 million Americans carry the lifelong burden of a criminal record, despite having fulfilled their legal debt to society. They are our neighbors, coworkers, parents, veterans, and citizens who live under silent exile, denied employment, housing, education, and the right to fully participate in the country they call home. With a single act, the burden can be lifted.โ€

    Cohen even coined a name for the plan: โ€œTEPO, the Trump Emancipation Proclamation Order.โ€ He argued that such a move could be โ€œthe single most important act of kindness that any president can bestow on 70 million Americans and their families.โ€

    While this appeal may surprise some given their adversarial past, it comes amid a historically expansive use of Trumpโ€™s clemency powers in his second presidential term. Since returning to the White House in January 2025, President Trump has issued thousands of pardons and commutations, including blanket clemency for roughly 1,500 individuals connected to the January 6, 2021, Capitol events and a number of high-profile figures such as Ross Ulbricht and others.

    Trumpโ€™s defenders argue these pardons are part of his ongoing fight against what he describes as a politicized justice system, correcting overreach and restoring fairness where the courts or prosecutors exceeded their bounds. Opponents often frame the clemency spree as politically motivated, though Trumpโ€™s supporters see it as a restoration of constitutional pardon authority to benefit everyday Americans and loyal citizens alike.

    Cohenโ€™s Prison Treatment and Claims About Bill Barr

    Cohen also recounted his own prison experience after being sentenced in 2018 to three years for tax evasion, bank fraud, and lying to Congress. He described harsh conditions and claimed that then-Attorney General Bill Barr had him sent back to prison under what he characterized as โ€œdraconian conditions,โ€ with extreme cold and heat in holding areas that made his time there especially difficult.

    Break with MeidasTouch and Media Fallout

    Cohen addressed his recent departure from the MeidasTouch Network, a left-leaning media company that cut ties with him after a Substack post in which he suggested prosecutors coerced him into testifying against Trump. Cohen insisted:

    โ€œIt is true, not personal. โ€ฆ I specifically state that I am not here to defend Donald Trump. That is not the intention of this statement which I wrote or my Substack article.โ€

    He described the split as a misunderstanding driven by headlines rather than the full context of his words.

    The Trumpโ€“Cohen History

    The rift between Trump and Cohen runs deep. Once a loyal lawyer who said he would โ€œtake a bulletโ€ for Trump, Cohen later turned on his former boss, cooperating with prosecutors and ultimately testifying in Trumpโ€™s New York criminal caseโ€”where Trump was convicted on business-record charges related to reimbursements made to Cohen during the 2016 campaign.

    At the time Cohen was seeking a pardon from Trump, that relief never materialized. Trump publicly brushed off questions about pardoning Cohen, reportedly saying, โ€œmost people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble.โ€

    United States Senatorย Bob Menendezย (D-N.J.) is facing one dozen new criminal charges in his alleged yearslong scheme with the governments ofย Egyptย andย Qatar.

    Menendez and his wife, Nadine, face charges of obstruction of justice, among others.

    As CNN reports:

    The new charges come days after one of the New Jersey businessmen who was previously indicted alongside Menendez, his wife Nadine Menendez, and two others agreed to plead guilty and cooperate with the investigation.

    Among the new charges in the superseding indictment are conspiracy, obstruction of justice, public official acting as a foreign agent, bribery, extortion and honest services wire fraud.

    Menendez had faced four counts of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right, and conspiracy for a public official to act as a foreign agent.

    The new charges add the underlying so-called substantive crimes to the conspiracy charges.

    Menendez persists in his innocence and pledges to do whatever it takes to retain hisย Senateย seat.
