Last week, Don Lemon lashed out over the Christian messaging and worship songs at Charlie Kirk’s memorial and said speakers only quoted Biblical scripture because they were “demanding submission.”
A beautiful memorial service was held for TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona, last Sunday.
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, delivered a moving speech focused on forgiveness.
In the most powerful and memorable moment of the evening, Mrs. Kirk forgave the assassin who took her husband’s life.
Don Lemon trashed the Christian messaging at Charlie Kirk’s memorial and claimed the service was merely a political rally.
Don Lemon also said, “Donald Trump stood on the stage like a man at the center of prophecy. He called Charlie Kirk a martyr…. as if the passing of the man had lit some sort of sacred fire.”
“What we saw in that arena was not simply faith finding public expression, it was religious nationalism on full display,” Don Lemon said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of over 135,000 men by the end of 2025.
The conscription by Putin marks Russia’s largest conscription since 2016.
The move by Putin comes just days after Russia’s parliament passed a new bill that will allow the Kremlin to issue a year-round conscription, replacing its current seasonal spring and fall draft.
Men from the ages of 18-30 will be selected to the Russian armed forces, but according to the Kremlin, they will not be activated in the war in Ukraine.
Putin has signed a decree on the autumn draft, running from October 1 to December 31.
During this period, the Russian authorities plan to call up 135,000 people for compulsory military service.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered the conscription of 135,000 men by the end of 2025, the largest conscription drive in nine years.
During the autumn 2016 intake, Putin ordered the conscription of 152,000 men. In the three years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it has drafted an average of 127,000 men every fall.
Russia’s spring 2025 draft called up 160,000 men, the highest since autumn 2011.
Russia holds biannual conscription drives, with men aged 18-30 eligible for one year of mandatory service.
Putin’s decree comes a week after Russia’s ambassador to France Alexey Meshkov noted that if NATO countries shoot down Russian airplanes that violate NATO airspace then a war will ensue.
Meshkov’s remarks came just days after President Trump during the United Nations General Assembly said he believes NATO members should shoot down Russian airplanes that violate NATO airspace.

In an interview on Sunday, Vice President JD Vance shared the U.S. is in talks on selling Tomahawk weapons to Ukraine.
Vance shared, “What we’re doing is asking the Europeans to buy that weaponry that shows some European skin in the game. I think that gets them really invested in both what’s happening in their own backyard.”

Before the healthcare bureaucracy’s myopic focus on COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, the Centers for the Disease Control issued a stunning warning about the threat of parasitic diseases here in the United States:
Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected.
CDC has targeted five neglected parasitic infections (NPIs) in the United States as priorities for public health action based on the numbers of people infected, the severity of the illnesses, or our ability to prevent and treat them. These NPIs include Chagas disease, cysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis.
The threat of parasites is just as high today, as it was just five years ago – the only difference is that our healthcare establishment has all but abandoned doing the necessary work of empowering Americans to take control of their health and preventing dangerous healthcare outcomes before they occur.
Fortunately, freedom-fighting doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough are now speaking up about the threats posed by parasites. In a post on his widely-read SubStack, Dr. McCullough says:
While each illness has diagnostic strategies followed by care providers, many patients want to take a proactive stance with respect to parasites. The CDC says the burden of parasitic diseases among Americans is high.
More than 300,000 people living in the United States are infected withTrypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, and more than 300 infected babies are born every year.
There are at least 1,000 hospitalizations for symptomatic cysticercosis per year in the United States.
At least 14 percent of the U.S. population has been exposed toToxocara, the parasite that causes toxocariasis, and each year at least 70 people—most of them children—are blinded by resulting eye disease.
More than 60 million people in the United States are chronically infected withToxoplasma gondii, the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis; new infections in pregnant women can lead to birth defects and infections in those with compromised immune systems can be fatal.
Trichomoniasis can cause pregnancy problems and increase the risk of other sexually transmitted infections including HIV. TheTrichomonasparasite is extremely common, affecting 3.7 million people in the United States, although it is easily treatable.
Not only is Dr. McCullough sounding the alarm about the threat of parasites, McCullough is also offering Americans the ability to do something about this threat:
Ivermectin and Mebendazole combine to effectively treat parasitic infections.
90 Oral Capsules, each containing 25mg Ivermectin + 250mg Mebendazole, a clinically effective dose.

I am grateful for them protecting us through the use of proven products and the peace in knowing that I’m taking something that is precisely what it states on the labels. – Jennifer W.

YouTube agreed to pay President Trump a $24.5 million settlement in his lawsuit against the tech giant for banning his account in January 2021.
President Trump previously filed a lawsuit against YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook after the tech giants banned his accounts following the January 6 Capitol riot.
“We’re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well,” Mr. Trump said in July 2021. “I am confident that we will achieve a historic victory for American freedom and at the same time freedom of speech.”
Trump’s lawyers asked the Court to prevent the tech giants from “exercising censorship” or “editorial control” over the posts of a US president.
According to The Wall Street Journal, YouTube agreed to pay a $24.5 million settlement after Meta agreed to pay Trump $25 million and Twitter/X paid $10 million.
YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit that President Trump brought against the company and its chief executive over its suspension of Trump’s account after that year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to court papers.
The settlement makes YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet’s Google, the final Big Tech company to settle a trio of lawsuits Trump brought against social-media platforms in the months after he left the White House. Meta Platforms agreed in January to pay $25 million, most of it to a fund for Trump’s presidential library, and X agreed to pay $10 million, much of it going directly to Trump, The Wall Street Journal previously reported.
Google executives were eager to keep their settlement smaller than the one paid by rival Meta, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump’s share of the settlement—$22 million—will go to the nonprofit Trust for the National Mall, earmarked for the construction of a Mar-a-Lago-style ballroom Trump is building at the White House, according to the court documents. The White House has said the ballroom, expected to cost $200 million, would be funded by donations from Trump and “other patriot donors.”
A further $2.5 million will go to the other plaintiffs on the case, a group that includes the American Conservative Union and writer Naomi Wolf. The settlement doesn’t mention attorney fees.

President Trump has also received a settlement from CBS over its decision to deceptively edit an interview with Kamala Harris.
CBS was forced to pay millions of dollars to President Trump and agreed to change its editorial policy in a settlement.
President Trump filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s parent company Paramount for deceptively editing a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.
Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.
Trump will be paid $16 million up front, according to Fox News.
The FBI’s lab report on the so-called January 6 pipe bombs was released this weekend.
According to the pipe bomb lab report obtained by Just The News, the bombs had ‘destructive potential’ but never detonated.
Additionally, the witness who discovered the RNC pipe bomb said the kitchen timer attached to it only had 20 minutes left. This blows up the timeline narrative and suggests the RNC bomb was planted shortly before it was discovered.
The kitchen timers attached to both bombs only had a 60-minute timer.
“I am the person that discovered and alerted the guards to the pipe bomb found next to the RNC on January 6. I wanted to identify myself in case there are additional details I can provide that might be useful to the investigation,” the witness wrote to the FBI, according to Just The News.
“I did not see nor do I recognize the person of interest socialized in the media. However, I can confirm that the device must have been placed between 12pm-12:40pm EST, because it was not present when I went down to the area to start laundry (~12pm), but it was present when I returned to continue laundry (~12:40pm),” she told the FBI.
The unsolved case of two pipe bombs planted at the major political parties’ headquarters in Washington D.C. before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.
The documents obtained by Just the News show that both bombs — one planted at the Democratic National Committee and the other at the Republican National Committee — were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential.
But most notably, the FBI laboratory report never uses the word “viable” to describe either bomb. Both devices never exploded and were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters.
“When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death,” the lab report stated. The report offered no clear explanation why the bombs — which it called “Improvised Explosive Devices” — did not detonate.
The FBI in January released *new* footage of the January 6 pipe bomber after Rep. Loudermilk released a report revealing the bureau engaged in a massive coverup operation.
For years we’ve been told an unidentified suspect planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
The FBI still ‘can’t find’ the person who planted the bombs.
A previous report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence.
Following the release of the House Committee’s report, the FBI released new information on the January 6 pipe bomber and offered a $500,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.
The FBI says the January 6 pipe bomber is approximately 5’7″ tall.
We also announced that we believe the suspect is approximately 5 feet, 7 inches tall. pic.twitter.com/iCZH99stre
The FBI then released a suspiciously doctored video from ‘camera 1’ of the pipe bomber supposedly planting the bomb at the park bench at 7:52 pm.

Last year TGP reported on a new video from January 6 showing a man exiting a DC Metro police vehicle carrying a bag toward the location of the DNC ‘pipe bomb’ at 12:51 pm on Jan. 6 – just 15 minutes before the ‘explosive device’ was discovered by another officer.
Who is this mystery man carrying a bag toward the park bench just 15 minutes before the ‘pipe bomb’ was discovered?
WATCH:
NEW: Recently discovered video from Jan 6 shows an individual believed to be police carrying a bag toward the location where “pipe bomb” was found at DNC.
This is about 15 minutes before another officer “discovered” the device.
Did this police officer place the pipe bomb next to the park bench on January 6?
Not one Secret Service agent saw the pipe bomb during a sweep of the building before Kamala Harris arrived that day.
The bomb-sniffing dog that was brought to the location earlier in the day also didn’t detect the bomb.
Last year J6 footage released showed a highly-trained bomb-sniffing dog somehow missing the DNC ‘pipe bomb’ just a few feet away at approximately 9:51 am that morning.
WATCH:
The FBI has told the public for 3+ years that the J5/6 “pipe bomber” planted the devices the night before. FBI brass insisted pipe bombs were viable—with black power—and deadly.

On Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a lawsuit against pro-Palestine protestors who allegedly targeted a synagogue in New Jersey in 2024.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon will use the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, the same act that the Biden administration used to target pro-life activists.
Today, @CivilRights filed a FACE Act lawsuit against violent groups that intimidated and disrupted Jewish worshippers at their synagogue.
AG Dhillon shared during a press conference, “The practice of turning a blind eye to these attacks on houses of worship throughout the United States stops now.”
“Today, we announced the filing of a civil complaint against individuals and organizations who organized and carried out a violent protest that interfered with a religious event and obstructed worshippers at congregation Ohr Torah Synagogue in West Orange, New Jersey, last year.”
“These violent protestors meant their actions for evil. But we will use this case to bring forth good, the protection of all Americans’ religious liberty.”
“Let me summarize what happened in this incident last November. About 50 protestors, including the defendants, organized a mass protest and assembled illegally without a permit, gathering near a Jewish worshipper’s home before moving towards congregation Ohr Torah Synagogue in West Orange, New Jersey.”
“Some of the protesters carried in blue Vuvuzelas, horns capable causing hearing damage while shouting at Jewish residents as they passed their neighborhoods. The group marched onto synagogue property, blowing the Vuvuzelas and shouting to drown out a memorial service and a Torah sermon.”
“Defendants Altaf Sharif and Jane Doe blew Vuvuzelas within inches of a Jewish worshipper’s ears. Sharif then charged at the Jewish worshiper. When another worshiper intervened with pepper spray, defendant Eric Kamens pointed at the worshiper and shouted, ‘the Jew is here,’ prompting Sharif to place the worshiper in a chokehold lasting over 20 seconds.”
“Even after the police ordered the mob off synagogue grounds, they continued shouting threats, including, ‘You can’t hide,’ and ‘You’re next.’”
“These actions constitute interference with protected religious worship in the United States and obstruction of access to the synagogue, which is illegal under the FACE Act.”
“Our complaint seeks to join the defendants from interfering with worship at synagogues or obstructing worshippers from synagogues throughout New Jersey, the fullest reach of the United States district Court, in which we’re filing this complaint.”

One of the world’s most infamous actresses attempted to troll Trump supporters on social media, but it blew up in her face when users answered her snarky question with brilliance.
“Wicked” star Ariana Grande shared an Instagram post on Sunday trashing the Trump administration’s policies, including immigration, trans issues, and free speech.
She then posed a question meant to embarrass the president’s 77 million supporters.
The message reads as follows:
I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: it’s been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all — has your life gotten better?
Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier? Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?

Trump supporters responded with a loud ‘yes’ and detailed almost everything Trump has done to turn America around in just a few months after four disastrous years under the Biden regime.
They also mocked Grande for being completely out of touch with the real world and laughed at her.
Here are some of the best replies:
Hey Ariana Grande, as a Trump voter I will answer your question:

Why yes Ariana, it has.
One of the best things that has happened is that we’ve learned to ignore spoiled, rich, elitists handing out advice to the ‘peasants’. That you’re all a bunch of freaks who think you know what’s best for the ‘greater good’.
You make us laugh.
Yes it has, inflation has slowed down, transjengas are off my social media timeline, fuel prices are the lowest in 20 years saving me $48,000 a year, i have been allowed back on to social media platforms. I kept my job for not getting vaxxed. Video games are starting to get…
Yes..thank you for asking!
Under the Biden administration inflation was as high as 9%.
Everything was higher from eggs and groceries to gas and utilities, not to mention housing and rent skyrocketed.
Never going back to Democrats!
The answer is yes @ArianaToday
We have less rapists, murderers, illegals in our streets
Our economy is improving
Inflation is lower
Gas is cheaper

Will the new AI character be the death of human performers in movies?
Hollywood may soon be filled with falling human stars and rising AI starlets.
Film director Alfred Hitchcock, the ‘master of suspense’, once said ‘all actors must be treated like cattle’ – but if you think that’s bad, brace yourselves for the brave new world we’re living in, where actors won’t even exist as such, anymore.
The creation of AI ‘actress’ Tilly Norwood has generated a massive wave of backlash over the unsurprising news that ‘talent agents’ were already lining up to sign the ‘digital character’.
Tilly Norwood seens as a threat by Hollywood actors.
“’To those who have expressed anger over the creation of my AI character, Tilly Norwood, she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work – a piece of art. Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity’, Eline Van der Velden wrote in a statement on Instagram, also posted on Norwood’s own Instagram page.
‘I see AI not as a replacement for people, but as a new tool, a new paintbrush. Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI opened fresh possibilities without taking away from live acting, AI offers another way to imagine and build stories. I’m an actor myself, and nothing – certainly not an AI character – can take away the craft or joy of human performance’.”
Van der Velden has said earlier that ‘talent agents’ had been circling the ‘AI character’ and she expects that an agency will be chosen to represent it (not ‘her’) in the next few months.
A multitude of actors have protested the development. Are they fighting for sanity, or are they falling stars overcome by technical developments like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard?
Gloria Swanson as ageing silent picture star Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
“Over the weekend, a host of actors responded to the news that agencies were circling Norwood. The threat of AI has long haunted industry creatives, and regulations around the craft became a linchpin clause through the SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023.
Notable uses of AI in film and television include the de-aging of certain actors or generating complex visual effects, but fears concerning AI’s ability to replace actors – or illegally use their likeness – have continued to creep up on Hollywood.”
AI-generated ‘actress’ Tilly Norwood eyed by talent agents, could star alongside real actors in film and TV
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House./Image: Video screenshot.
Minutes before President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began speaking with the press, the White House released a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.
During his remarks, Trump noted that Israel and other nations have accepted the outline, saying, “Everyone else has accepted it. But I have a feeling that we’re going to have a positive answer. But if not, as you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you would have to do.”
If accepted by Hamas, “This proposal calls for the release of all remaining hostages, immediately, but in no case more than 72 hours.”
Trump added, “I hope that we’re going to have a deal for peace, and if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible, they’re the only one left.”
Under the plan, Gaza would be governed “under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza” and Gaza would be “redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza.”
“If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end,” and “Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release.”
The proposal further states, “Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty,” and “members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.”
“Full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip” upon acceptance of the agreement.”
President Donald J. Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict:
1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.
3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.
4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.
5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.
7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.
8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.
11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.
13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.
16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.
17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.
18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.
19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.
President Donald J. Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict:
1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.
