Trump administration honors Charlie Kirk, Planned Parenthood loses in court, fake shooter threat at Naval Academy leads to real shooting, and more.

After two days of furious law enforcement efforts, Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, has been taken into custody.

The division in this country has never been more apparent. Democrats have used the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk as an excuse to denounce political and gun violence, while Republicans have been eulogizing him as a patriot and are demanding swift justice. Kirk was shot from 200 yards away while speaking at an event …

Not holding back. Of course, I’m sure we’ve all seen the massive, horrific news story that Conservative activist and media personality Charlie Kirk was shot and killed two days ago while hosting an event at Utah Valley University courtyard as part of The American Comeback Tour, which was hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley. During the event, Kirk was sitting under a tent with a massive crowd gathered around him as he spoke to the students. A singular shot was fired at Kirk, striking him in the neck, and he died shortly thereafter, leaving behind two very young children and his wife, Erika. It has been incredibly sad to see and read about, and I can only imagine how heartbroken Erika, his kids and family are. Yesterday, Erika was seen arriving back home in Phoenix, Arizona with Charlie’s body, alongside Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, and my prayers go out to her because there aren’t even words for how disgusting and horrific this event was.

And Hardy is no exception. During his show at Brandon Amphitheater in Brandon, Mississippi last night, Hardy did not mince his words on the tragedy, saying he wanted to remind everyone just how “fragile life is,” noting that he was so saddened by the “tragic loss” of Charlie for simply exercising his rights to freedom of speech. I imagine many of us feel the same way right now, and it’s certainly top of mind considering all of the tragic recent events that have occurred in this country: “I also want to bring to light how fragile life is. Obviously yesterday, we saw a very tragic loss, what I consider an extremely tragic loss because we had somebody that was exercising a lot of their human rights, also known as freedom of speech, who got brutally murdered in front of 10,000 people. I think it’s f****** bull****, and I think our country is a f****** mess. So I wanna thank Charlie Kirk for his service and everything he did as a human being. Lastly, two years ago, almost to the day, maybe one month shy, I was supposed to play here and I had what most people would call a mental breakdown, which I kind of narrowed down to a little bit of trauma I had to work out from my tour bus accident that myself and a few of our other crew members were in back in 2022 that I had not properly processed, if  you will. I just wanna thank you guys for your forgiveness, I wanna thank you for coming back. I know that was sh****… but I can promise you I am much better. I am in a completely different place now and I really thank you guys for your patience. I love you all, I love the state of Mississippi and I’m just happy to be back. I’m glad you guys are having fun.” You can watch his full speech here: @haileyp0308 In Hardy’s words “it’s fucking bull shit” #hardy #charliekirk ♬ original sound – Hailey The post Hardy Goes OFF On State Of America In Wake Of Charlie Kirk Assassination: “Our Country Is A ******* Mess” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

A song honoring the homeland of their wives. Muscadine Bloodline is coming out of the gate with a heartfelt love song for the next chapter of music after And What Was Left Behind. At the start of 2025, the Alabama boys announced that this year would be their biggest year yet, with the plan of giving fans not one but two records. “God willing, 2025 is gunna be our biggest year yet. Our biggest headlining tour to start the year, a new record soon, some big festivals this summer, the biggest tour we’ve been a part of in the fall, and another record at the end of the year. (TWO RECORDS IN ONE YEAR???…..YES)” In April, they gifted fans the first half of that promise, building off their 2024 record, The Coastal Plain. And What Was Left Behind took listeners on a journey through the southern part of Alabama and the stomping grounds that raised both Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton. With songs like “Chickasaw Church of Christ,” “Hittin’ My Stride,” “Ain’t For Sale,” and more, the record told a story from top to bottom of finding themselves, being tempted by evil, and growing into the upstanding men. However, now the boys who scream loud and proud their roots are in Alabama are about to take fans on an adventure to somewhere new… View this post on Instagram A post shared by Muscadine Bloodline (@muscadinebline) “For the last 3 years, our creative process could be summed up in the phrase ‘write what you know.’ That’s why the songs of our records ‘Teenage Dixie’ & ‘The Coastal Plain and What Was Left Behind’ feel so authentic because they were lived. It’s been the most fulfilling chapter of the story so far. What we have learned about ourselves, as creators, is our love to take the listeners to a place and paint our town narrative of it through songs in a cohesive album form. A common theme of exploring ideas and trying our best to evolve the sound and not make the same record twice. Which brings us to the next chapter… South Mississippi. Although our roots are planted deep in Alabama, we have a lot of ties to the Magnolia State. Charlie has family from Lucedale, same for Gary in Laurel. Gary went to college in Hattiesburg for 4 years, and most importantly, we both fell in love and married girls from South Mississippi. Ashley is from Poplarville, and Mallory is from Meridian.  Not gunna give it all away, but if you’re heading west on I-20 from Alabama and you cross the state line, the first town you come to is Meridian. Felt like the perfect place to start as we creatively depart from Alabama for a minute and take you on a journey through the Pinebelt down Highway 59.  One last hint, 3 to describe what’s coming next: Bonefire Music, Sweater Weather and Love.”  Oh, this sounds like it’s going to be one helluva project. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Muscadine Bloodline (@muscadinebline) The three words they left fans with were the perfect lead into “My Meridian.” The heartwarming love song is a nod to the Magnolia State and how much it means to both of their wives. This tune feels especially close to Charlie’s heart, given his wife, Mallory, grew up in Meridian, MS, but as the two sing the tender words, you can tell that it strikes a chord among both men. The lyrics show appreciation for all that their wives do for them, and how much these boys love and adore their spouses. “Well, it’s safe to say I should’ve met you sooner I guess I reckon it was in due time Skip the 25 years that it took me to find ya Lady of the Lauderdale County line My meridian, my sweet meridian You done a number on this heart of mine Oh, my my meridian, my sweet meridian I’m gonna love you till the day I die” It sounds like the second record of 2025 is going to take listeners on a journey of love through the state that raised and formed both of their life partners. I am here for a heartfelt, warm, and fuzzy feeling album this fall and winter from the Alabama boys, and “My Meridian” is a stellar preview of that feeling. Turn this one all the way up.

The dream team. Last night, Canadian pop star Tate McRae played a show in Nashville, Tennessee at the Bridgestone Arena as part of her Miss Possessive tour, where she surprised the crowd with a duet with Megan Moroney. Tate and Megan have actually performed together before, when last year at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, they teamed up for a surprise performance of “Tennessee Orange.” This time, they sang Megan’s recent single “6 Months Later.” Of course, it was written by Moroney with Ben Williams, David “Messy” Mescon, and Rob Hatch, like many of her songs, “6 Months Later” focuses on heartbreak and how she’s coping in the wake of a breakup. It’s also her current single at country radio, and has been steadily climbing the country charts after debuting at #30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart (which encompasses all musical genres), making it the highest debut of her career thus far. As far as Tate goes, you’ve probably heard her name recently alongside Morgan Wallen, as she was featured on the duet “What I Want” from his recent, mega hit album I’m The Problem. Their duet was been the early runaway hit, and it landed on the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart upon debut (which consists of singles, rather than the album as a whole). Morgan had six songs from the record debut within the top 10, and “What I Want” is Morgan’s fourth Hot 100 chart topper and McRae’s first. She has obviously dabbled in country music some, and considering these two have performed together before and are having huge career moments right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them work on a song together or something down the road. I love that they made it a little acoustic moment, too.

Radical Leftists are really exposing themselves since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, with another just fired for vile comments, this time from Fox Sports Las Vegas and their partner Lotus Communications. Here’s what . . .
