Federal and state officials in Utah revealed on Friday morning that they closed in on Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man suspected of assassinating Charlie Kirk, after a family friend reached out to law enforcement. FBI Director Kash Patel said that authorities “made historic progress for Charlie” after capturing the suspected assassin in just 33 hours. Patel then provided a timeline of the FBI’s response immediately after Kirk was gunned down and how the search for the alleged assassin came to a close. Wednesday, September 10 11:52 a.m. MT — Suspect Arrives Near Campus Authorities said video showed the suspected assassin driving near campus in a gray Dodge Challenger. One of Robinson’s family members reportedly told investigators that Robinson drove a gray Dodge Challenger. The suspect then walked onto campus and climbed up the stairwells to a roof adjacent to the courtyard where Kirk was speaking, according to authorities. 12:23 p.m. — Charlie Kirk Shot Authorities believe that a single shot was fired from the roof of a building around 200 yards from where Kirk was debating students during one of his signature question and answer sessions. 12:39 p.m. — The First FBI Agents Arrive, Secure Scene Shortly after the FBI took over the investigation, the agency immediately began utilizing assets to transport “personnel, specialty technicians, [and] hostage rescue teams,” Patel said, adding that forensic evidence was taken to FBI laboratories at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia and other laboratories. 2:40 p.m. — President Trump Announces That Kirk Has Died “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his… pic.twitter.com/aM8Pz3TKml — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 10, 2025 5:20 p.m. — Person Of Interest Questioned Patel said a person of interest was questioned at 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday. He posted at 5:21 p.m. that the “subject for the horrific shooting” was in custody, but less than two hours later, the FBI director posted an update, saying, “The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.” Two subjects were questioned by authorities on Wednesday in connection with the assassination before they were both released. Thursday, September 11 10:00 a.m. — FBI Releases First Photos Of Suspected Assassin 10:45 a.m. — FBI Offers $100,000 Reward For Info Leading To Arrest Of Suspect 5:30 p.m. — Patel And Deputy Director Dan Bongino Arrive In Utah Patel said that he was able to evaluate “the large crime scene” at Utah Valley University with investigators, where he walked “through the steps that the suspect took to learn more about what was needed … to create a full picture for the FBI and leadership back in Washington. The FBI director added that investigators are continuing to look at forensic evidence “as we collect it.” The public also flooded the FBI with around 7,000 leads on Thursday. 8:00 p.m. — FBI Releases More Images, Video Of Suspected Assassin Fleeing Scene The video showed the suspect jumping off the roof from where the single shot that killed Kirk was fired. Images released by the FBI showed a man in an American flag shirt, a hat, and sunglasses walking up a stairwell. 10:00 p.m. — Tyler Robinson Arrested In Southern Utah Officials said that Robinson was turned in after a family member reached out to a friend about the 22-year-old, who allegedly confessed or implied that he had assassinated Kirk. The New York Post and The Daily Mail reported that the suspect admitted to the assassination to his father. Robinson reportedly told his father that he wanted to kill himself when his father urged him to turn himself over to the authorities. Robinson’s father convinced his son to talk to their youth minister, who is also a U.S. Marshal, The New York Post reported. The youth minister then called the FBI, and shortly after, agents took Robinson into custody.

Avowed leftist author Stephen King was forced to admit his error and apologize after being caught spreading lies about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. As other “progressives” on social media tried to justify the brutal assassination of Kirk at a free speech event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, King piled on by sharing a tweet that said, “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin.’” Multiple accounts swarmed the comments with evidence of Kirk being civil towards gay people while presenting socially conservative viewpoints and maintaining a biblical view of marriage in his personal life.  Kirk’s fans and friends went after King, sharing clips of the TPUSA founder speaking with gay people and welcoming them to the conservative movement. “Hey [Stephen King], you are more monstrous than any of the characters you ever came up with. Charlie was never anything but kind to me and my husband,” conservative commentator Dave Rubin replied on X. “We broke bread many times, and he never treated us with anything other than respect. He even came to our house not too long ago and plot twist, didn’t throw rocks at us. Write about that sometime, you hack,” he added. “Why would Stephen King post something so blatantly false?” X owner Elon Musk wondered. Others shared screenshots of Kirk’s previous tweets, including one that said, “I believe marriage is one man one woman. Also gay people should be welcome in the conservative movement. As Christians we are called to love everyone. I will always stand against people who wish to establish their own personal values as a reason to kick others out of the movement.” The backlash and facts became so severe that King backtracked and apologized on Friday morning. “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages,” the horror author wrote.

Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox said Friday that the assassination of Charlie Kirk could be a “turning point” on whether the country would embrace free and open debate or turn to political violence.  Cox made the comments during a press conference announcing that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson had been arrested for the murder of Kirk on Wednesday. After announcing the arrest, Cox delivered an impassioned plea, declaring that Kirk’s killing was a direct attack on the values he championed. “This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination, of Charlie Kirk,” he said. “But it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. 
It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, of who we have been, and who we could be in better times.” “Political violence is different than any other type of violence, for lots of different reasons,” Cox added. “One, because in the very act that Charlie championed of expression, that freedom of expression that is enshrined in our founding documents, in having his life taken in that very act makes it more difficult for people to feel like they can share their ideas, that they can speak freely.” Cox added that in the hours following Kirk’s killing, he was as angry as he had ever been, but that his attitude changed when he reflected on Kirk’s own advocacy of forgiveness, the importance of debate, and advocacy of non-violent disagreement. Kirk, a devout Christian, frequently urged his supporters to treat their political opponents with respect and peacefully engage with them.  Cox highlighted how no riots or looting had broken out in the wake of Kirk’s killing. “I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting. 
There was no looting. There were no cars set on fire,” Cox said. “There was no violence. There were vigils and prayers, and people coming together to share humanity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe is the answer to this. 
We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate. And that’s the problem with political violence: It metastasizes because we can always point the finger at the other side. And at some point, we have to find an off-ramp, or it’s going to get much, much worse.” Cox ended his remarks with a call for everyone to follow Kirk’s advocacy of peaceful debate.  “History will dictate if this is a turning point for our country,” he said. “But every single one of us gets to choose right now, if this is a turning point for us. We get to make decisions. We have our agency. And I desperately call on every American Republican, Democrat, liberal, progressive, conservative, MAGA, all of us to please, please, please follow what Charlie taught me.”

Brazil’s Supreme Court just sentenced former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison for a coup plot—fueling outrage as leftist judicial overreach now threatens to destabilize a major U.S. ally and embolden anti-conservative agendas worldwide. Brazilian Court’s Conviction of Bolsonaro: A Historic and Polarizing Move On September 12, 2025, Brazil’s Supreme Court delivered an unprecedented verdict: convicting former President Jair Bolsonaro of attempting to overturn the 2022 election through a coup scheme and an alleged assassination plot against President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. This marks the first time a Brazilian head of state has been found guilty of such grave charges, sending shockwaves through the nation and drawing international attention. The conviction stems from a majority vote by a five-judge panel, highlighting not only the severity of the allegations but also the deep political polarization gripping Brazil. Bolsonaro, along with several high-ranking military officials, was found to have orchestrated plans from within the presidential palace, a chilling echo of power struggles that threaten constitutional order. This explosive outcome has divided Brazilian society. Supporters of Bolsonaro, angered by what they view as a politically motivated prosecution, have mobilized in mass protests across major cities—echoing frustrations familiar to many Americans who have watched leftist overreach erode constitutional rights abroad and at home. The judiciary, led by Justice de Moraes, maintains it acted to defend democratic norms, citing what they describe as “overwhelming evidence” of Bolsonaro’s intent to subvert the electoral process. The case has not only gripped Brazil but has sent ripples through international relations, especially with the United States, where President Trump has vocally condemned the proceedings, likening them to his own legal battles and warning of a growing threat to free speech and fair trials. Political Turbulence and International Fallout The conviction’s immediate aftermath has plunged Brazil into a period of acute instability, reminiscent of other nations where judicial activism and political prosecutions have stoked division rather than unity. The military’s involvement in the alleged plot raises serious concerns over civil-military relations. The U.S. has responded with sanctions and tariffs, further complicating diplomatic ties and putting Brazil’s fragile economy at risk. These actions demonstrate how quickly domestic legal decisions—especially those perceived as partisan—can escalate into international crises. For American conservatives, the situation serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked government power and the erosion of due process, as seen when political rivals weaponize the courts to silence opposition. Bolsonaro’s legal team, led by Celso Villardi, has announced plans to appeal, arguing that the trial’s lack of a unanimous decision and procedural irregularities undermine its legitimacy. This legal battle is far from over, but the precedent set by prosecuting a former president on such charges will echo for years, both in Brazil and beyond. Conservative Values Under Attack: Lessons for America Many experts warn that the Brazilian case is more than a regional story—it’s a cautionary tale for all democracies. When courts become instruments of political retribution, the rule of law is undermined, and public trust in institutions erodes. In Brazil, this has led to widespread unrest, fear, and a chilling effect on political dissent. The parallels to American experiences are clear: when the left pushes radical agendas or exploits the judiciary to target political enemies, fundamental rights and family values come under siege. The Bolsonaro case is already cited by some activists as a blueprint for targeting conservative leaders elsewhere, using the judicial system as a weapon rather than a shield. As chaos erupts in Brazil’s streets, it’s a sobering reminder that vigilance is required to defend the Constitution, free speech, and the right to dissent without fear of persecution. With the United States now under President Trump, the administration’s strong response to defend free speech and support allies against judicial overreach sends a message: American conservatives will not stand by as leftist agendas threaten liberty at home or abroad. The events in Brazil underscore the importance of upholding constitutional principles and resisting any effort—foreign or domestic—that seeks to silence conservative voices through intimidation or legal manipulation.

Neuschwanstein Castle is said to have been the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. The original design and construction began under King Ludwig II (1845-1886) of Bavaria. Coincidentally, King Ludwig II was known as the “Fairytale King.” Construction design began in 1868, but was not complete until 1886. They placed the foundation stone on September 5, 1869. The first part of the construction was the Gateway Building. Ludwig II lived in the Gateway Building for many years before officially moving into the still-incomplete castle in 1884. @stasi.belle This castle has always reminded me of my favorite childhood cartoon — Beauty and the Beast. There’s something so magical about its silhouette, like it stepped right out of a fairytale… But no, it’s not Disney — it’s the real-life Neuschwanstein Castle, nestled in the Bavarian mountains and said to be the inspiration for the Disney castle itself. Standing here, you almost expect the music to start and Belle to appear in her golden dress… #neuschwanstein #germanycastle #beautyandthebeast #disneyinspired #travel ♬ оригінальний звук – stasi.belle Although it presents an amazing facade against the Bavarian mountains, construction was still underway until 1886, the same year the King died. The interior walls depict scenes from medieval adventure and the operas of composer Richard Wagner, with large and intricate frescoes. During the lengthy construction, King Ludwig II began to withdraw from public appearances. As he retreated, he also made changes to the construction plans. The exterior may appear medieval, but the interior included all the best technology of the century. Toilets on every floor had automatic flushing systems. The entire castle had an air heating system. Water comes from a nearby spring that sits around 200 meters (approximately 656 feet) above the castle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Schloss Neuschwanstein (@neuschwanstein.castle) Hidden doors are one of the unique design features of Neuschwanstein Castle. These hidden entrances blend into the walls, ceilings, and floors. They allow discreet access to various rooms within the castle. The location of Neuschwanstein Castle, overlooking the Hohenschwangau valley in the Bavarian Alps, lends to its fairytale reputation. Guided group tours of Neuschwanstein Castle cannot exceed 15 visitors per group. The castle tour takes about 30 minutes. There are elevators and other provisions available to assist mobility-impaired guests. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
