'This is really terrifying stuff': Trish Regan on Minnesota fraud allegations

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk has reached her “breaking point” over the conspiracy theories circulating about the assassination of her husband, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Kirk torched conspiracy theorists on Wednesday in an appearance on Fox News while promoting her late husband’s posthumously published book, “Stop In The Name Of God.” She addressed rumors about her, her friends, and her organization, saying that empty hypothesizing has led to a torrent of death threats and harassment against them. “Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my ‘Charlie Kirk Show’ family, when you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love, because somehow they’re in on this? No,” said Kirk. “This is righteous anger, because this is not okay. It’s not healthy. This is a mind virus,” she added. Erika Kirk responds to those who are pushing conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s Death: “Come after me. Call me names. I don’t care…But when you go after my family, my TPUSA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love…No…This is… pic.twitter.com/6IKSCWA5xx — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) December 10, 2025 Kirk and Turning Point USA have been the center of conspiracy theories since Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a Utah college in September. The conspiracists have heaped suspicion on a number of Charlie’s closest friends and family members, including Erika. Kirk said on Wednesday that even her jewelry, which she has dubbed the “conspiracy collection,” has become a topic of debate. Despite the suspicion cast upon her and Turning Point, Kirk says she has compassion for the conspiracists. “You know what I thought? I thought, these people are human, we’re all grieving in our own way, and they are trying to find the answer to something that happened that was so evil. They are trying so hard, and I get that. We’re doing the same.” But the conspiracies and scrutiny have become too much for many of the people at Turning Point. “My team are not machines and they’re not robots. They are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. You name it, we have it, and my poor team is exhausted,” she added. “Every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again? They watched my husband get murdered.” Kirk and Turning Point USA had been silent about the conspiracies until last week, when the organization tackled them head-on in a livestream. The organization invited Candace Owens, who has pushed conspiracy theories about the assassination, to join the podcast. Owens said she could not attend. On Wednesday, Kirk was adamant that Turning Point USA would not be distracted by the conspiracies and would continue to do the work her husband began. “I’m not going to sit in a corner and cry and be in a fetal position. This is a duty to my husband, and it’s an absolute honor, and I will never back down. And so my message to them is to stop,” Kirk said. Owens once said she would stop promoting the conspiracies about Turning Point USA if Erika Kirk asked her to. But she appeared to recant that position on Wednesday and called Kirk’s comments “an unbelievably emotional response that is absent of any logic.”

In the early 1990s, we all secretly wished our parents would get on the wrong plane and leave us at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Kevin McCallister had it made. Not only did his family ditch him, and he got to harass two bad guys in his family’s picture-perfect home, but two years later, he was racking up the most elite room service we’ve ever seen. The Home Alone franchise is peak Christmas. But if you watch it with your kids today, they don’t understand how it could happen. That’s because in 2025, it really couldn’t. We are tracking our children’s every move and getting alerts for every penny we spend on our phones. But way back when, we weren’t that connected. But let’s pretend for just a moment that we were, can you imagine what Kevin’s little trip to NYC would be today? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pubity (@pubity) The “Home Alone” Adventure Would be Staggering Pubity shared a breakdown of Kevin’s expenses from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and we promise, you’re not ready. In 1992, Kevin’s room cost $1,100. Today, that’s equal to $6,244. His room service bill in 1992 totaled $967. Today, the feast costs a whopping $2,223. How about that ice cream? In the early 1990s, it would put you back about $18. Today, you’re looking at $24. Comparatively speaking, that’s a deal. Now, let’s get to the grand total. If you wanted to live like Kevin McCallister at the Plaza Hotel in Home Alone 2 today, be ready to spend—$ 8,511. Peter McAllister screamed about $2,109. Imagine the yell you’d hear today? The amount shocked people, but remember, it’s just a movie. “Luckily, his dad has that huge house and has money to send everyone on nice vacations!” someone wrote. And we give it to this guy for the best comment of them all. “Keep the change ya filthy animal !!!!” This story’s featured image is by Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images.

For pet owners, there’s nothing more satisfying than bringing your new family member home and watching them get excited to be there. This can be particularly true for rescue pets. We don’t always know their backstories, and sometimes they wind up in shelters because of abuse, neglect, and a myriad of other sad scenarios. Providing a loving, stable home for a rescue dog is just as magical an experience for the owner as it is for the dog.  A TikToker who goes by Megan Offord recently shared a video of her family’s new rescue dog arriving at his forever home, and it’s sure to get you right in the feels. @megan_offroad His joy brings me joy #newdog #rescuedog #christmasdog #kodiak #fureverhome ♬ original sound – tyler glass This Dog Needed a Forever Home to Play With the dog in the snow. The animal immediately gets excited, playing with the children, and zooms happily through the soft white powder. Megan gave her video the sweetest and most fitting caption. “That feeling you get when you realize you’re never going back to the shelter and your forever home has two boys to play with forever,” she wrote. Immediately, followers took to the comments to share their excitement for Megan, her family, and their new rescue dog, who had found a forever home together. The video brought out lots of emotions. “Sobbing, he looks sooo happy,” someone wrote. “We are too! In awe of how perfect he’s fitting in,” Megan resounded. “Not crying, love that this baby is so happy,” another person joked. The dog looked so happy to be in his forever home. “Look how happy he is to play in the snow with them,” a follower noticed “Omg!! His joy is so heartwarming!!!!” Someone agreed. This person put it best. “May all the shelter babies find a home that loves them and fits them, amen,” they prayed. This story’s featured image can be found here.
