Charlie Kirk wanted to be REMEMBERED for THIS ?

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has taught clear-thinking conservatives a crucial lesson. In short, the American left, as presently constituted, can never again wield power under any circumstances. Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida -- in a move she signaled as recently as July -- has formally asked Treasury...

Newly launched GBrakes offers high-performance brake products for a wide range of motorcycle applications. Giocar America, distributor of Galfer Spain brake products, has announced a transition from the brand previously called Galfer USA to a new brand called GBrakes. GBrakes was officially launched Sept. 16, 2025, and it offers high-performance brake products through its new website or at dealerships through its U.S. distributors. Galfer was founded in Barcelona in 1952 by Maffio Milesi. In 1992, his son Giorgio carried the brand into the U.S. market. Now, Sandro Milsei is leading GBrakes as the third generation, working as CEO of the brand. Through the new GBrakes website, customers can find products like precision laser-cut rotors, high-performance pads, steel braided lines, and full brake kits for V-Twins, sportbikes, street motorcycles, dirtbikes, and dual-sports. GBrakes will also offer braking customization services. An online custom rotor configurator allows customers to explore V-Twin rotor configurations, and a dedicated line configurator is expected to be available soon. “We are excited to announce our strategic shift to focus solely on developing our own brand of braking systems,” said Sandro Milesi. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the past seven decades from my father and grandfather and evolved it into something new with GBrakes — while still maintaining the same commitment to performance, same passion for supporting the rider communities, and of course, delivering the best customer service.” GBrakes products can be found on the GBrakes website, and they are distributed to dealers and custom shops through Parts Unlimited, Drag Specialties, and Western Power Sports.

While many riders still favor gas-powered motorcycles, the Reload Land Electric Motorcycle Festival celebrates the innovated leaps being taken in the realm of electric motorcycles. (Photos by the author) After participating in this year’s Moto Giro d’Italia – well known for its glorious array of petrol-powered classic motorcycles – I travelled to Berlin for a very different type of event: Reload Land – The Electric Motorcycle Festival, which was held June 7-8 at the Napoleon Komplex.  I lived in West Berlin back when the wall still cut through this part of the city, so this would be a homecoming of sorts, allowing me to revisit my old stomping grounds while immersing myself in the sights – and silence – of the electric motorcycle scene. Until now, this world had been mostly unfamiliar to me. While the switch from warm Italian sunshine to Berlin’s unseasonably chilly air and looming rainclouds wasn’t ideal, my excitement for the weekend didn’t waver. The Napoleon Komplex had been transformed with banners and manufacturer displays, unified under the event’s slogan: Fahre elektrisch – Tanze aus der Reihe, or “Drive electric – dance out of line.”  Test riding the LiveWire Del Mar. It was a fitting motto for a thoughtfully curated event brought to life by festival founder Maximilian Funk and his team. Their aim? To show that life on two wheels without engine noise can be just as thrilling as its petrol-powered counterpart.  To the right of the main entrance was a dedicated demo fleet area. To the left, a large Can-Am display stood alongside LiveWire’s offering, both adjacent to an outdoor bar and seating area. A modest stage was set up for the evening’s entertainment: electronic music, naturally. Notably absent was Zero Motorcycles – at least officially. The only appearance of a Zero came courtesy of German YouTuber Paddy Lectric, whose privately owned Zero DSR/X was parked nearby. Paddy also runs a website called “Stecker Biker” (Plug Biker).  Also making a charming appearance in the forecourt was Revive’s classic VW Bulli van and a Citroën 2CV coffee cart – both, of course, converted to electric.  Can-Am Pulse Inside the Electric Kingdom  Inside the darkened hall, spotlit stands created a moody, theatrical vibe. Photography was a challenge until the daylight improved later in the day. Near the entrance, in front of the main stage, stood a striking electric Porsche 911, converted by the firm Revive. Yours for a tidy $100,000 and change.  Sharing stage space were custom bikes from Crooked and Loose Screw. Crooked’s E-Type – built on an RGNT No. 1 Scrambler SE – merges the looks of their petrol-based customs with an electric powertrain, illustrating how the two worlds can coexist.  Crooked E-Type Nearby was a practical electric cargo bike from Fat Albert, seemingly designed with crate-of-beer transport in mind. Can-Am’s electric offerings, the Pulse and Origin, were not only displayed in the main hall but also available for test rides outside. RELATED: Major Price Drop on 2026 Can-Am Electric Motorcycles Maeving, a British manufacturer, showcased two bikes in their minimalist-retro style: one in cool white with racing stripes and another in a more understated gray. Test rides were on offer too.  Maeving showed two bikes and offered test rides. Black Tea Motorcycles, a Munich-based firm, displayed their signature model sans faux fuel tank to highlight the battery arrangement. Meanwhile, Metorbike from Hamburg leaned into nostalgic vibes, designing their frames around the 1970s Puch Magnum moped.  A Black Tea Motorcycles bike without the faux fuel tank. Enverotricity – quite the tongue-twister – offered an off-road platform that could be configured into five different versions depending on rider preference.  From India to Estonia  Emco scooters, from Lower Saxony, were also on display, including their sleek black Unu scooter. Their fleet-focused electric scooters have ranges of 50 to 130 km (31-81 miles) and top out at 45 km/h (28 mph).  Emco scooter A major international highlight was Ultraviolette, an Indian electric motorcycle brand that launched its F77 Mach 2 Recon and F77 Superstreet Recon models in Europe at the event. With aerospace-inspired engineering, the F77 boasts 40 hp, 74 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph). Acceleration is equally impressive: 0-60 km/h (37 mph) in 2.8 seconds and 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.7. A five-year battery warranty and regenerative braking (up to 30% energy recovery) make this a very compelling option.  Ultraviolette’s F77 Mach 2 Recon For 2026, Ultraviolette plans to launch two more models: the Tesseract e-scooter and the Shockwave, a lightweight motorcycle promising the thrill of old-school 2-stroke bikes in futuristic form.  Verge Motorcycles, with roots in Estonia and an innovation hub in San Francisco, had jaws dropping with their TS Pro – delivering an earth-moving 738 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). Its massive rear tire is like that of Triumph’s Rocket 3 and Ducati’s XDiavel.  Verge Motorcycles TS Pro East German Classics and Swiss Speed  Czech designer Ladislav Jecminek presented the Havoc, a futuristic dual-purpose e-motorcycle capable of 43 hp and a range of around 130 km (81 miles).  A Simson converted to electric by Second Ride. Berlin-based Second Ride brought something special: converted Simson mopeds and scooters from East Germany. These 2-stroke classics, once the most produced two-wheelers in the country, have been reborn as low-maintenance, zero-emission machines. Over 800 conversion kits have already left their facility. I took a black version of the S51 for a spin around the block and was surprised by its pep.  The author rode this converted Simson. Coopop, a brand developed in South Korea and refined in Germany, had a tidy line-up of city-focused e-bikes, including bobber and scrambler styles with 11 hp, 120 km (75 miles) of range, and top speeds of 45 km/h (28 mph).  A Coopop e-bike. Bold Concepts & Silent Power  Around the corner, another space featured interviews with exhibitors and hosted the Reload Custom Electric Bike exhibit – dramatically lit and full of boundary-pushing design.  Danish startup Diem showed off its X-01, a striking concept featuring a single-beam frame, single-sided swingarm, Brembo brakes, Showa forks, and an axial flux hub motor rated at 47.5 hp.  Diem X-01 From Sweden came the Polestar Exö, a concept designed by industrial design graduate Joel Wengström. Inspired by biomimicry and featuring a bio-composite exoskeleton shaped like a scorpion’s tail, it was one of the show’s more avant-garde entries.  Switzerland’s Hush Cycles stunned attendees with their Superior GT – a 200-hp hubless electric motorcycle with a range of up to 400 km (249 miles), acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, and a whopping 50-liter trunk. Only 300 units will be built.  Hush Cycles Superior GT Electric Shock & Chopper Cool  Proving electric vehicles can still pack a punch, Volto – a yellow custom electric car based on a Volvo 850 – was transformed by JP Performance into a beast with 1,000 hp and selectable drive modes.  To close the loop between old school and new school, Sine Cycles presented the King Current – a chopper-style electric bike built around a 2016 Zero FX drivetrain. With exposed backbone, cantilever suspension, and 43 hp on tap, it made a statement without making a sound.  Sine Cycles’ chopper-styled King Current Riding the Silence  Later in the day, I suited up for a booked test ride on the LiveWire Del Mar. A group of four riders was led through Berlin’s streets. This was my first proper ride on an electric streetbike. At first, the silence was unnerving – until I opened the throttle on a clear stretch of road and felt the instant torque. I was hooked.  Traffic stops were slightly comical – a group of silent machines idling at red lights, no exhaust notes to be heard. Some of the roads we travelled had already seen rain, and with more on the way, I made a quick dash to the Can-Am area for another test ride.  First up was their Origin dual-sport bike. While the power delivery was great, I found the seat height a bit too tall for comfort. Halfway through the ride I swapped to the Pulse, and by then, the heavens had opened. We were soaked, but I found the lower-slung Pulse much more enjoyable. RELATED: 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Origin Video Review Can-Am Origin Both bikes feature a Rotax E-Power system that cleverly combines the battery, inverter, charger, and motor into a single liquid-cooled unit – helping manage heat even during fast charging. With 47 hp, 53 lb-ft of torque, and a sub-4-second 0-60 mph time on the Pulse, performance was more than adequate.  I returned drenched and opted to skip Sunday’s program due to worsening forecasts. I missed the launch of the Ichiban electric bike, which was prominently featured on the Reload poster, and also the Saturday Night Silent Ride, which reportedly drew over 100 electric bikes and scooters – a signature moment for the event.  A Simson converted to electric by Second Ride. Final Thoughts  As I rode the LiveWire Del Mar through Berlin, silently speeding along on an open stretch of road, I couldn’t help but wonder: What if a pedestrian stepped out, unaware of my presence due to the lack of sound? Fortunately, some brands are addressing this concern – Metorbike, for example, offers eight sound modules for its bikes.  Finally, it’s worth noting that Reload Land is expanding its footprint: The first Silent Ride Paris took place on June 28, 2025, cruising through the French capital’s iconic landmarks. Next up is Milan, Italy, on September 13, 2025. Spread the volt!  The post Reload Land Electric Motorcycle Festival: Dance Out of Line  appeared first on Rider Magazine.

Would Charlie Kirk have supported the Death Penalty for his assassin? His actual answer might surprise you! I’ve seen a ton of people online saying Charlie surely wouldn’t support that because he was a Christian. And while I appreciate the intent behind that sentiment, it’s not what Charlie would have said. How do I know? Because luckily we have a VAST database of him speaking on virtually any topic you can think of, and a big hat tip to my friend Pepe Deluxe for finding this clip. Watch Charlie answer that question himself — not just giving a simplistic “love everyone” message but weighing the balance between Grace and Justice in the Bible.  Too often we go 100% Grace or 100% Justice and each of those is dangerous.  Charlie brilliantly navigated both in this answer: WATCH: Charlie Kirk on the death penalty pic.twitter.com/RNrIQVW4xS — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) September 16, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT HERE IF READING IS BETTER FOR YOU: It’s like, yeah, we’re pro-choice, but then when it comes to like vaccinations and my body, my choice, suddenly they’re not so pro-choice anymore. I feel like conservatives do the same thing, but on the pro-life side. So can you ex—can you defend—I mean, come on man, you seem so much smarter than that. What do you think my answer is? I don’t—’Cause they did something bad? Well, yeah. But if life is—and, and, and—invaluable—well then why do you not consider it valuable throughout the whole lifespan, not just the beginning? Well, ’cause you believe in putting criminals in jail, right? Yes. Which is a taking of their rights. Not their life. Well, again, but their whole life is completely changed. So I guess it’s— Right. Also an insult to the victim, isn’t it, saying that your life doesn’t matter so much, that your murderer can keep on living but you yourself aren’t living? It’s— Well— Actually devalues the value of the victim— Mm-hmm. Or the victims, actually, in a lot of times. Mm-hmm. And you have a hat that says, “Make America Holy Again.” Yes. God repeated in all 5 books of the Torah, “You take a life, your life will be taken.” To the consistency argument, if there is a baby here, you know, in the womb, that baby has done nothing wrong, whereas a guy who went and shot up a school did a lot wrong. Mm-hmm. And so the only answer is to say, “We value human life so much that you don’t get to keep on living if you take a precious human life.” It’s actually an explicitly pro-life position because it’s honoring the dead and honoring the victim so much that it’s not just one to be discarded. That’s, oh, it’s not just a clump of cells. You see, to be against the death penalty is actually consistent for the left because they’re like, “Oh, you know, it’s just a bunch of clump of cells that got shot up at a school. It doesn’t really matter. Go put them in a jail.” Where we say, “No, that’s a life you took and you don’t get to, get to keep on having breath if you go take another precious human life.” Mm-hmm. Does that make sense? It makes sense. Share!

HOLY CRAP THIS IS GOOD! Kash Patel is all of us right now… We’re done trying to co-exist with these people. No, I am not advocating for violence, but I am saying trying to talk to these nutcases has proven to be a fool’s errand. They don’t want open and honest debate…. They don’t want to solve issues…. They just want soundbites and money and power.  That’s it. And I think we’re all done playing the game. We’re all done smiling and trying to follow decorum and letting them destroy us. No more. WE THE PEOPLE are taking back this country, peacefully and patriotically of course, but make no mistake we’re taking it back from the criminal politicians! Kash Patel was all of us today when he EXPLODED on Adam Schiff. I cannot possibly love this any more than I already do. Here is just one quote, but he was only getting started with this: “You are the biggest fraud to ever set foot in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward…. You are a political BUFFOON at best.” Watch here: WOW! Kash Patel just went NUCLEAR on Adam Schiff “I am combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of YOU!” We have constantly proven YOU to be a LIAR in Russiagate, J6… you are the BIGGEST FRAUD to ever sit in the U.S. Senate You are a DISGRACE to this… pic.twitter.com/3ObCEwLjuE — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 16, 2025 Kash laid such a beatdown on Watermelon Head that Congress had to adjourn afterwards!

Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to besides himself? And you said, “Himself.” There’s no credible information, none. If there were, I would bring the case yesterday, that he trafficked to other individuals. And Kennedy, the information we have, again, is limited. And Senator Kennedy said, “The answer is no one.” And you said, “For the information we have.” So, is it your testimony today that in all the Epstein files that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked no one to anyone but himself? Is that your testimony, Mr.— I never said Jeffrey Epstein didn’t traffic anyone else. Did he traffic any young woman to someone other than himself? That was Mr. Kennedy’s question, Senator Kennedy’s question. I said the information that three administrations have had access to have made determinations that there are no investigative leads that were credible to prosecute and investigate any others. I’m asking— Well, I’m stating we were working on— Well, I’m asking you whether your testimony today, that, that, I— Well, you just read it and I said it 10 minutes ago, so let the record reflect my testimony. I just wanna make sure there’s no misunderstanding because there are victims, like Virginia Giuffre, who have testified otherwise, who have said otherwise, and you’re telling the American people today that the Epstein list is a single name and it’s Jeffrey Epstein. That’s what we’re to believe? That’s not what I’m saying. That’s what you’re saying. And you can say whatever you want. Well, let me ask you this. When Todd Blanche went to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, she said, “But did I, like, think these guys were coming for that? I really don’t. If you met Epstein, there’s no way that this cast of characters, of which it’s extraordinary, and some are in your cabinet, who you value as your coworkers and you know would be with him if he was a creep or because they wanted sexual favors. A man wants sexual favors, he will find that. They didn’t have to come to Epstein for that.” And the next question Todd Blanche, the president’s former criminal defense lawyer, asked is not, “Who in the cabinet? Who are you referring to?” His question is, “So when’s the last time you think you were with Mr. Epstein when he got a massage?” So let me ask you, who are those cabinet members that Ghislaine Maxwell is referring to, that were part of this cast of characters associated with Mr. Epstein? Who are they? The Deputy Attorney General took the aggressive step that no one else did and interviewed Ms. Maxwell for two days— No, I’m asking you who are the cabinet members? And we released the entirety of that transcript. Who are the cabinet members? I do not have that transcript in front of me. You’re picking at piecemeal. The American public can read the entirety of that. And let me ask you one last question, because you clearly won’t tell us the cabinet members associated with Mr. Epstein. But let me ask you one last question, and that is, right after she gives this testimony in front of an FBI agent, among others, she’s transferred to a minimum security prison not suitable for a sex offender like herself. Who made that decision and why? The Bureau of Prisons. The Bureau of Prisons decided, on their own, without any consultation with Blanche or anyone else, that they were gonna suddenly, after this interview, completely unrelated to this interview, completely unrelated to anything she said, move her to a prison not suitable for a sex offender. You want the American people to believe that? Do you think they’re stupid? No. I think the American people believe the truth, that I’m not in the weeds on the everyday movements of inmates. Oh, you’re not in the weeds? The most, the most significant witness that the Epstein files cover up gets moved— What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you. And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in RussiaGate and in January 6th. And you call that being in the weeds? You are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward. This speaks to high heaven. And I’m not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade. You are a political buffoon at best. Well, you can take an internet troll and make the FBI director or Mr. Chairman nothing more than an internet point of order. Take it to the bank that the FBI is protecting this country and the state and citizens of California. We have brought historic reform. But all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration, and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat. And what did President Trump do? Bring new charges courageously. And what have we done? You said, “I’m the most transparent FBI director in history.” 33,000 pages of information to you. I challenge you to say anything credibly to the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras where you wanna go now. Both of you be quiet.
