The Morning Report — 9/16/25

Good morning kids. From the moment we saw the horrific image of a bullet slamming through Charlie Kirk's neck, the blood libels gushed out in a torrent along with his lifeblood. One of the first things we heard was that the shot came from a pistol packing rally-goer who was firing off celebratory rounds willy nilly. And then without any evidence whatsoever, the Democrat Propaganda complex blamed the so-called right wing. Given the weight of history and of who and what Charlie Kirk was, as well as the weight of evidence that has been collected since this nightmare began, it was ridiculous on the face of it, and yet here we are one week later.

Soon after authorities identified Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, a conspiracy theory began to rocket around liberal corners of the internet. Robinson, the theory went, may have appeared to be on the left side of the political aisle but was actually a supporter of President Donald Trump trying to make liberals look bad.

The evidence that Robinson is a staunch leftist is compelling. He left anti-fascist calling cards on the ammunition found at the scene. He told family members about his disdain for Kirk's political views. He was living with a male romantic partner who identifies as transgender. Investigators who interviewed those close to Robinson came away with the clear impression that he "was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology," according to Utah governor Spencer Cox (R.).

The plurality of Americans surveyed in a YouGov poll bought into the false narrative that the alleged assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is a Republican.

Several notable figures rushed to claim that the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was a conservative Christian, though Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and federal authorities later confirmed that Robinson became “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” The poll found that 24% of all adults have bought into the idea that Robinson is not, in fact, liberal.

Yes you cannot hate the media enough. I better be careful, but I am assuming despite that declaration, Black Rock, 30 Rockefeller Plaza and CNN HQ will not encounter simultaneous truck bombs from anyone who read that.

Elsewhere, despite the ululations from the Leftists over Charlie Kirk's being slaughtered as is sadly, though clearly evident in the links, one more disgusting than the other as you slog through them.

It is encouraging that worldwide there have been wonderful outpourings of grief and praise for this truly remarkable man. More crucially, there have been thousands of inquiries both from here at home and from all over the world from people looking to become part of TPUSA and align themselves with the free speech movement that he championed so effectively.

As George Patton in his eponymous biopic sadly noted upon the death in battle of his Aide de camp "I can't see the reason such fine young men get killed. There are so many battles yet to fight."

But let the words of his grieving widow serve as a clarion call and a way forward.

On Friday, she addressed the nation, a mere fifty-four hours after he was viciously assassinated. Her speech was an amazing testament to her courage and resilience. She showed no signs of retreating. In fact, her goal is to expand the message and outreach of her husband’s remarkable organization, Turning Point USA.

The sixteen-minute address was truly astounding as Erika Kirk displayed unbelievable poise and composure. She vowed, “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”

She also reassured the millions of people who supported her husband. She said, “To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen. It will not die. All of us will refuse to let that happen.”

Erika Kirk was not only responding as an aggrieved widow, but she was also speaking for millions of conservatives nationwide who are tired of the continual abuse they receive from lunatic leftists.

From Hebdo to Kirk, here we are. No surrender, and no retreat. While this is encouraging. . .

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller pledged on Monday to use the whole of the federal government to target and dismantle the organized left-wing domestic terrorist movement in the United States. 

Miller made the remarks to Vice President J.D. Vance, who was hosting The Charlie Kirk Show as a special tribute to the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder. Kirk, a conservative firebrand and devout follower of Jesus Christ, was assassinated while engaging in debate at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10. The suspect in the case, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a male transgender roommate, and “Hey fascist! Catch!” was inscribed on one of the rounds found in the alleged murder weapon.

“I have an organized strategy to go after the left-wing organizations that are promoting violence in this country, and I will write those words onto my heart, and I will carry them out,” Miller said. “If people ask me, you know, what emotions I’m feeling right now… I mean, you kind of know the answer. There’s incredible sadness, but there’s incredible anger. And the thing about anger is that unfocused anger or blind rage is not a productive emotion. But focused anger, righteous anger directed for a just cause is one of the most important agents of change in human history.” 

As I said, encouraging until you realize that the Democrat National Committee and Party are at the top of the food chain here. Much of their campaign lucre, goes directly or indirectly via NGOs or Bureaucratic slush funds in the form of grants to organizations that promote, foment or even directly participate in violence or other tactics to persecute, punish and abuse their political opponents/enemies.

As some have posted, and I have articulated here for quite some time, and as recently as yesterday, the greatest mistake of history was that the Democrat Party was not absolutely dismantled and outlawed following the Civil War that they caused. Everything wrong with this country, politically and culturally — all of the bloodshed, misery, suffering, dislocation, wastage of life, treasure and human potential is directly the fault of the Democrat Left's policies and actions it has inflicted on us since at least the time that Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton right up until the present day. Period, full stop.

To swipe the saying of Democrat Superhero Mao Tse Tung, let a hundred flowers bloom - - let Charlie Kirk's martyrdom Let a million patriots come forward to carry on in his name.

Amen!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day!

• In its new filing, the Trump Justice Department once again asked the D.C. Court of Appeals to stay a preliminary injunction issued last week by D.C. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee. That order barred President Trump from removing the Biden-appointed Cook and “ruled that Cook would likely succeed in an August lawsuit she filed against Trump over his effort to oust her from the Federal Reserve,” according to a local Fox affiliate.

• The Federal Reserve is scheduled to begin a two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee on Tuesday. Monday’s order likely means that Cook will be able to attend the meeting and vote on monetary policy as a Fed Governor. The Trump administration is expected to ask the Supreme Court to stay the lower court’s order, upending Monday’s decision by the appeals courts.

  THE ECONOMY, STUPID

• In other words, most Americans were treading water against Bidenflation. Job growth was anemic, not historic. And Trump inherited a weak economy – one made weak by Biden’s combination of massive inflationary spending, out-of-control regulations, and high taxes. The American people knew it. And they knew who to blame. Which is why they put Donald Trump back in the White House.
