The details he revealed raise serious questions about communication and preparedness from local law enforcement at Utah Valley University (UVU). During his interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, Harpole disclosed text messages exchanged with UVU Police Chief Jeff Long. The messages highlighted serious concerns about rooftop access before the event where Kirk would be speaking. Harpole informed Chief Long that students could access rooftops above the area where Kirk was…

States led by Democrat officials are caught in a challenging struggle as they attempt to transition to 100% green energy. Their efforts to stabilize the power grid often clash with lawsuits being filed against fossil fuel companies. These lawsuits mirror the legal battles of the 1990s when numerous states took action against tobacco firms like Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds for misleading consumers about the dangers of smoking. Those legal battles culminated in a $200 billion settlement in 1998, which prohibited billboard advertising and changed corporate liability in significant ways. Fast forward to today, and we see new lawsuits targeting…
Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s recent blunders raise serious questions about her research skills and credibility. During an exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Crockett attempted to implicate Republicans in a scandal involving donations from a Jeffrey Epstein. The problem? She mentioned the wrong man entirely. The Epstein in question was a physician with no ties to the infamous convicted sex offender, leading to a chaotic attempt at damage control from Crockett. Crockett’s defense continuously referred back to her claim that she never specifically named the infamous Epstein, arguing that her team’s quick research didn’t yield the right results in time. “I never…
Rep. Al Green, representing Texas, is set to introduce yet another round of articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. This announcement comes amid growing unrest within the Democratic Party and reflects a significant moment in the ongoing battle between Democrats and the Trump administration. Green characterized his upcoming motion as a “litmus test” for his party’s commitment to opposing Trump’s administration. “There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge,” he declared emphatically. By pushing for this action, Green emphasizes the importance of participation in democracy. He has positioned impeachment as a collective responsibility,…
The exchange between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and House Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has taken a sharp turn into confusion and rebuttal. This situation raises questions about accountability and clarity when discussing public figures and their financial backers. At the heart of the dispute is Crockett’s assertion that Zeldin, among others, accepted donations from someone named Jeffrey Epstein. However, Zeldin quickly clarified that the Epstein in question was a physician with no connection to the notorious convicted sex offender of the same name. His response on social media resonated with exasperation, encapsulated in the line, “When you…
President Donald Trump confirmed a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, highlighting the tensions between the two before they even meet. Trump took to Truth Social to declare, “Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting.” His characterization sets an assertive tone, emphasizing the political divide. The meeting is scheduled for Friday in the Oval Office, with details on the agenda to be revealed later. The Mamdani camp described the meeting more neutrally. “As is customary for an incoming mayoral administration, the Mayor-elect plans to meet with the President in Washington to…
A violent incident aboard a Chicago train highlights ongoing issues with repeat offenders in the criminal justice system. Lawrence Reed, 50, has amassed 49 prior arrests, many of which include severe offenses. Yet he remains a free man until now, following his recent act of setting a 26-year-old woman on fire. On Monday evening, Reed allegedly doused the young woman with a flammable liquid while aboard the Blue Line train and then ignited it, shouting, “Burn b*tch!” The shocking nature of this attack raises critical questions about public safety and the effectiveness of the current justice system in addressing habitual…
President Donald Trump is known for his fondness for deals, and this week he received a significant pledge from Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Crown Prince committed to funneling $1 trillion from the oil-rich kingdom into the United States. This bold announcement was hailed by Trump as evidence of his strong ties with Riyadh and an indication that international funds are eager to reinvest in the American economy. However, one must look past the impressive headline figure. Experts caution that much of this promised investment exists only hypothetically, and the actual cash flow may take years to…
The political landscape is shifting as economic concerns weigh heavily on voters just one year after major victories for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The recent election cycle has demonstrated a backlash against those in power as affordability issues become central to voter sentiment. A new Fox News poll reveals troubling feedback for the president, with three-quarters of respondents expressing negative views about the economy and attributing their financial stress to his administration. The poll indicates that many Americans, including Republicans, are feeling the pinch in everyday expenses, with costs for groceries, utilities, healthcare, and housing all on…
The funeral of former Vice President Dick Cheney took place today at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Cheney, who served under President George W. Bush, died at 84 due to complications from pneumonia and cardiovascular disease. His health had been fragile for years, having undergone a heart transplant in 2012. Notably absent from the service were former President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, who were reportedly not invited. This omission speaks volumes, considering Cheney’s public criticism of Trump. The former vice president openly stated his intention to vote for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, arguing that…
Aftyn Behn is a Democrat representative for Tennessee’s 51st House District, but her campaign for the 7th Congressional District reveals a curious approach to gaining support. In what seems to be a significant misstep, Behn has openly expressed her disdain for Nashville, the very city she seeks to represent. Her comments raise eyebrows about her suitability as a candidate for public office. During a recent interview, Behn laid bare her feelings, stating, “I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes. I hate the pedal taverns. I hate country music.” These words are striking, especially coming from someone aiming to gain…
Violent crime in America’s urban areas has sharply increased during the Biden administration, contradicting official claims of declining crime rates. Data from the National Crime Victimization Survey reveals a staggering 61 percent surge in violent crime in cities between 2019 and 2024. In stark contrast, crime rates in suburban and rural regions remained nearly the same. Urban violent crime rates are now 46 percent higher than the national average and more than double those in rural communities. Meanwhile, property crime statistics show a similar trend. Many of these violent crimes remain unreported, leading to a skewed narrative from the Biden…
President Trump’s reaction to a recent video by six congressional Democrats reveals an intensity that reflects his ongoing battle against perceived threats to his administration. The video calls for members of the military and intelligence community to defy the President’s orders, branding such orders as illegal. This bold declaration serves as a direct challenge to Trump, igniting what he deemed “seditious behavior.” The lawmakers involved—Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Chris DeLuzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow—have positioned themselves against the backdrop of a constitutional oath. They insist that those serving in the military and…
Senator Lindsey Graham’s response to a viral video featuring a group of Democratic lawmakers urging military service members to “refuse illegal orders” raises significant questions about the implications of their message. Graham, a military veteran himself, wrote letters to each Democrat involved, demanding clarity on what constitutes “illegal orders” in the context of their statements. The video includes six well-known lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds, including Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and Representatives Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan. They assert that service members have not only the right but also the responsibility to disobey…
In a troubling case out of Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro found himself in the hot seat after authorities arrested Akhror Bozorov, an Uzbek illegal immigrant with alleged ties to terrorist organizations. His detainment by ICE occurred while he was operating a commercial truck in Kansas and holding a Pennsylvania commercial driver’s license (CDL) with a Philadelphia address. This incident raises serious questions about the state’s vetting process for noncitizens looking to obtain driver’s licenses. Governor Shapiro responded swiftly to the backlash, emphasizing that Bozorov had passed through the state’s licensing process without any flags from the federal databases utilized to…
The recent case of Lawrence Reed illustrates a troubling trend within the criminal justice system, raising serious questions about the consequences of repeat offenses and the handling of dangerous individuals. Reed, who has accumulated 50 arrests—including 10 felonies, was free to commit a horrific act of violence against a woman on a CTA train. After pouring gasoline on her and igniting it, he stood by as she suffered grievous injuries, with burns covering more than half her body. This incident highlights the alarming failure to address recidivism and underscores the broader implications of leniency in the judicial system. Reed’s history…
The recent discourse surrounding immigration enforcement under the Trump administration has stirred numerous accusations, including claims that children have been stolen or lost in the process. It’s crucial to scrutinize these assertions, as the reality is far more nuanced than the narrative suggests. No evidence supports the idea that the administration has undertaken actions to kidnap children. Instead, the enforcement of immigration laws often results in the arrest or deportation of adults accompanying minors, placing those children into protective systems until a suitable guardian can be designated. Jennifer Podkul of Kids in Need of Defense emphasized, “It does not mean…
The recent actions and statements from the Vatican and U.S. Bishops have ignited fierce criticism, particularly regarding immigration policy. Earlier this year, the Vatican took a hard stance against illegal entries within its own jurisdiction. Yet now, Pope Francis is reportedly urging U.S. Bishops to condemn President Trump’s actions against undocumented migrants. This apparent contradiction raises eyebrows and sparks allegations of hypocrisy. The timing of the bishops’ nearly unanimous rebuke of Trump’s migrant raids underscores a shift in the Catholic Church, viewed by some as increasingly left-leaning. Last week, during their annual conference in Baltimore, the bishops voted overwhelmingly for…
The Trump administration is preparing to take decisive action that could reshape how artificial intelligence (AI) is regulated across the country. A draft executive order reviewed by Fox News Digital reveals plans to instruct the Justice Department to challenge states that implement their own AI regulations. This initiative is laid out in a six-page document titled, “Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy,” indicating a clear intent to centralize authority in Washington over this rapidly evolving technology. This draft is notably marked “Deliberative / Predecisional / Draft,” suggesting that it remains an internal working document subject to further revisions…
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s upcoming funeral signifies more than just a farewell; it represents a complex tapestry of political relationships and personal tributes. According to a report from Axios, former President Donald Trump will not attend the funeral, underscoring the rift that has developed between him and Cheney’s family in the years leading up to his passing. Cheney’s funeral is set for mid-morning at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., a venue steeped in tradition where it’s customary for sitting presidents to pay their respects. Yet, Trump’s notable absence speaks volumes. The tension stems largely from Cheney’s daughter, Liz…
Attorney Ty Clevenger has launched a strong attack against the FBI, demanding accountability for its handling of documents related to the murder of Seth Rich, a former DNC staffer whose death remains shrouded in mystery. In a letter addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Clevenger highlights a troubling pattern of secrecy surrounding critical records. Seth Rich was gunned down in July 2016, just before the controversial leak of Hillary Clinton’s emails. While mainstream narratives suggest Russian interference in the election, figures like Julian Assange have proposed an alternative theory: that Rich was the source of…
