<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cheers filled Yankee Stadium on Thursday night as President Donald Trump attended a game on the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Yankees honored the day with a special tribute before the game, welcoming Trump, who served as both the 45th and 47th president of the United States.</p>
<p>As the crowd of 41,000 fans erupted in applause, Trump appeared on the Jumbotron, receiving a warm reception. Many fans began chanting his name, “Donald Trump! Donald Trump!” as he waved from a suite. During the National Anthem, he was again shown on the screen, prompting cheers from the audience.</p>
<p>In a post-game interview, Trump expressed his gratitude, saying, “The fans were really nice. You never know what you’re going to get in New York, but we got a tremendous applause because they love this country.” </p>
<p>Before the game, the Yankees paid tribute to the victims of 9/11, displaying an American flag and the message, “September 11, 2001, We Shall Not Forget.” Security was tight for the event, with fans strongly advised to arrive early and leave bags at home due to heightened security measures.</p>
<p>Trump’s visit came just a day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure and supporter of the president. The Yankees held a moment of silence for Kirk before the game.</p>
<p>In the clubhouse, Trump encouraged the Yankees, telling them, “You’re gonna win.” His prediction proved correct as the Yankees triumphed over the Detroit Tigers, 9-3. Star player Aaron Judge shined with two home runs, including a 434-foot blast, after Trump praised him in the clubhouse. Judge described meeting Trump as “a surreal moment” and noted that the president’s visit boosted the team’s confidence.</p>
<p>The Yankees also took a group photo with Trump, capturing a memorable moment from the night. Overall, the event combined a sense of remembrance with a celebration of baseball, reflecting the spirit of New York City.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump has announced that the National Guard will be sent to Memphis, Tennessee, a city struggling with high crime rates. During an interview on "Fox & Friends," Trump stated, “We’re going to Memphis. I’m just announcing that now. National Guard and anybody else we need, and by the way, we’re bringing the military too if we need it.”</p>
<p>This announcement comes as Memphis has been identified as the most violent city in the United States, according to recent FBI data. In 2024, the city recorded 2,501 violent crimes for every 100,000 residents, significantly higher than other cities like Oakland and Detroit.</p>
<p>Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard is supported by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who has been actively involved in discussions with the Trump administration to tackle crime in Memphis. Governor Lee stated that they are developing a strategic plan that includes Operation Viper, an FBI initiative targeting violent offenders. He also mentioned that he has increased the presence of the Tennessee Highway Patrol in Memphis to assist local law enforcement.</p>
<p>In addition to Memphis, Trump has indicated that other cities, including Chicago and Baltimore, may also receive federal intervention to combat rising crime. He has criticized Democratic leadership in cities plagued by violence and has called for changes to policies like cashless bail, which he claims contribute to crime.</p>
<p>While Trump’s actions have received support from some, they have also drawn criticism. Democrats have accused him of overstepping his authority and using the National Guard as a power grab. A federal judge recently ruled that Trump acted unlawfully when he deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles during protests.</p>
<p>As Memphis prepares for the National Guard’s arrival, the focus will be on addressing the urgent issue of crime and ensuring the safety of its residents.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) stirred significant backlash during a recent House Judiciary Committee meeting when she referred to Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old autistic woman who was brutally murdered by an MS-13 gang member, as a “random dead person.” This comment came as lawmakers were discussing the Kayla Hamilton Act, a proposed bill aimed at tightening the vetting process for unaccompanied minors entering the United States.</p>
<p>The bill, introduced by Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), seeks to require background checks on unaccompanied alien children (UACs) before they are placed in U.S. communities. It is named in honor of Hamilton, who was killed in 2022 by Walter Javier Martinez, a 17-year-old illegal immigrant with known gang affiliations. Martinez had entered the country without proper vetting.</p>
<p>Crockett’s remarks sparked outrage from both sides of the aisle. She accused Republicans of exploiting the tragedy for political gain, saying, “Stop just throwing a random dead person’s name on something for your own political expediency.” She also criticized the GOP for not addressing other victims of violence, such as those connected to Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that Republicans only focus on tragic deaths when it suits their agenda.</p>
<p>Rep. Fry responded sharply to Crockett’s comments, calling them “disgusting rhetoric” and “shameful behavior.” He emphasized that Kayla Hamilton was not just a statistic but a young woman with a family and a future. Fry expressed disappointment that such comments downplay the real tragedies faced by families affected by violence.</p>
<p>Kayla’s mother, Tammy Nobles, supported the proposed legislation, stating that background checks could have prevented her daughter’s murder. She highlighted that if proper vetting had been conducted, authorities would have known about Martinez’s gang connections.</p>
<p>Martinez, who was sentenced to 70 years in prison, had a criminal history in El Salvador, including ties to MS-13. Reports indicate that he confessed to multiple additional crimes after entering the U.S. </p>
<p>The Kayla Hamilton Act aims to address these issues by implementing measures such as background checks for minors aged 12 and older, screening for gang tattoos, housing gang-affiliated minors in secure facilities, banning illegal immigrants from sponsoring UACs, and ensuring full sharing of sponsor background data with the Department of Homeland Security.</p>
<p>The debate surrounding the bill and Crockett’s comments highlights the ongoing tensions in U.S. immigration policy discussions and the emotional weight of individual tragedies within broader political conversations.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and ally of former President Donald Trump, was tragically shot and killed on September 10, 2025, during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was speaking to a crowd when the attack occurred, sending shockwaves through the political community and beyond.</p>
<p>Kirk, known for his outspoken views and advocacy for youth engagement in conservative politics, had recently expressed concerns about what he described as a rising “assassination culture” among some on the political left. In a video that resurfaced after his death, he warned that opponents of conservative ideas might resort to violence because they could not effectively debate their views. He stated, “At the core of the Left… is someone that would use the sword if they had it,” indicating a belief that some individuals on the left were prone to violent actions.</p>
<p>Just months before his assassination, Kirk highlighted alarming statistics, noting that a significant percentage of liberals believed it would be justified to kill high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. He argued that the left was becoming increasingly violent, suggesting that this was a result of a culture that tolerated aggressive protest tactics.</p>
<p>Following his death, tributes poured in from various leaders and supporters. Donald Trump called Kirk a "legendary" figure who understood the youth of America better than anyone. Trump announced that Kirk would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, recognizing his contributions to conservative thought and activism.</p>
<p>Kirk’s assassination has sparked discussions about political violence and the safety of public figures. Many are reflecting on his warnings about the dangers of escalating tensions in political discourse. The event has raised questions about the current state of political dialogue in the United States and the need for security measures for those who engage in public debate.</p>
<p>As mourners gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to pay their respects, the nation is left grappling with the implications of this tragic loss and the ongoing concerns about political violence in a deeply divided society.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Governor Spencer Cox of Utah has announced plans to pursue the death penalty in the case of Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator who was tragically shot and killed during a public event at Utah Valley University. The governor made this statement during a press conference held late Thursday, where he also urged the public to assist in the ongoing manhunt for the suspect, which has already lasted over 24 hours.</p>
<p>The press conference was initially set for earlier in the day but was postponed due to significant developments in the investigation. When it finally began, officials shared footage showing the suspect fleeing the scene after the shooting, which took place on Wednesday. The video depicted the individual climbing down from a rooftop before jumping to the ground.</p>
<p>Authorities are asking the public to help identify the suspect by looking for distinctive clothing items he wore. They have already conducted more than 200 interviews and received an overwhelming response from the community, with thousands of tips pouring in—more than they had seen since the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.</p>
<p>The FBI has offered a reward of $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack, with the assailant firing from a rooftop into the crowd below. Photos of a person of interest have been released, showing a man in an American flag t-shirt, sunglasses, and a hat, who investigators think blended in with the college crowd.</p>
<p>The Utah Department of Public Safety has emphasized the importance of gathering digital tips and videos from anyone who may have footage from the event. They assured the public that all available resources are being used to capture the person responsible for this tragic act.</p>
<p>As the investigation continues, Governor Cox reiterated his commitment to ensuring that justice is served for Charlie Kirk and his family. The manhunt is ongoing, and officials remain hopeful that they will soon find the individual responsible for this shocking crime.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will hold a ceremony to honor Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative commentator, who was tragically assassinated during an event in Utah. Kirk will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, which is the highest civilian award in the United States.</p>
<p>Trump shared the news while speaking at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, expressing deep sorrow over Kirk’s death. “Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief so many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt,” he said. He described Kirk as a “giant of his generation” and a “champion of liberty,” offering condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their children.</p>
<p>The date for the medal ceremony will be announced soon, and Trump promised a large crowd would attend to honor Kirk’s legacy. He also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in his honor, calling him “a truly Great American Patriot.”</p>
<p>Kirk was known for his efforts to rally support for Trump among younger voters during the 2024 election. He founded Turning Point USA at just 18 years old, and the organization quickly became a major player in conservative circles. He was shot during a question-and-answer session at Utah Valley University and was taken to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead hours later. The suspect in the shooting remains at large, and authorities are actively searching for them.</p>
<p>Many friends and colleagues remembered Kirk fondly. Vice President JD Vance shared a heartfelt tribute, highlighting Kirk’s ability to engage in discussions with both supporters and opponents. Vance noted Kirk’s respectful approach, encouraging open dialogue even in challenging situations.</p>
<p>Kirk’s untimely death has left a significant impact on his community and supporters across the nation, who are mourning the loss of a passionate advocate for conservative values.</p>

<p>In an interview shortly before his death, Kirk expressed how he wanted to be remembered. He stated, "I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investigators have uncovered a disturbing detail in the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Authorities found ammunition linked to the crime, engraved with phrases reflecting "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." This revelation comes from reports by The Wall Street Journal and conservative commentator Steven Crowder, who shared information from an internal law enforcement bulletin.</p>
<p>The Department of Justice has not confirmed these findings but stated the investigation is ongoing. They are currently analyzing the rifle and ammunition believed to have been used in the shooting. Crowder mentioned that an Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) officer sent an email detailing the engraved ammunition, noting that all cartridges contained similar wording. The FBI has taken the firearm and ammunition for DNA and fingerprint analysis.</p>
<p>The tragic incident occurred while Kirk was speaking at a campus event. He was responding to a question about transgender mass shooters when the shooting took place. Reports indicate that the Justice Department is considering measures to restrict gun ownership for individuals who identify as transgender.</p>
<p>The rifle involved is described as an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle, which was found wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the event site. The FBI’s Salt Lake City field office confirmed they believe they have located the weapon used by the suspected shooter. Authorities have also gathered video footage of the suspect, who is thought to be of college age.</p>
<p>Initially, two individuals were detained for questioning but were released after investigators found no connection to the shooting. The FBI director noted that the suspect in custody had also been released after an interrogation. The investigation remains active, with officials committed to transparency as they work to uncover more details about this tragic event.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot and killed at the age of 31. The shocking incident has sent ripples through the political landscape, raising concerns over rising political violence in the United States.</p>
<p>Kirk was known for his energetic speeches and passionate debates. He started Turning Point USA while still in high school, and the organization quickly grew to become a significant force in conservative politics. His ability to connect with people and raise funds set him apart in the political arena. Many believed he had a bright future ahead of him, possibly even leading the Republican National Committee.</p>
<p>The circumstances surrounding his death suggest he was targeted for his outspoken views. Kirk was not just a political figure; he was a husband and father of two young children. His assassination has drawn parallels to the political violence of the 1960s and 1970s, a time marked by turmoil and unrest.</p>
<p>The recent wave of violence, including Kirk’s murder, has sparked fears of a growing trend where political opponents are viewed as enemies. This mindset, fueled by radical ideologies and online rhetoric, creates a dangerous environment where discussions can turn deadly.</p>
<p>In light of this tragedy, there is a call for more than just thoughts and prayers. Many are urging for a return to civil discourse, emphasizing the need to treat political opponents with respect. Recognizing that freedom of speech must be protected is crucial to maintaining a healthy democracy.</p>
<p>Kirk’s death has left a void in the conservative movement, and his legacy is now a reminder of the urgent need for dialogue and understanding in a divided nation. As the country reflects on this loss, there is hope that it will inspire a renewed commitment to peaceful discussions and a rejection of violence in political discourse.</p>
