Charlie Kirk is dead, tragically murdered by an assassin’s bullet. Now Turning Point USA wants to cement its founder’s legacy by Christianizing America in his name. Read about that threat to democracy in my new book out now: wjkbooks.com/bookproduct/066…

Police found roughly 30 partially clothed young men packed inside a sweltering basement at a Wisconsin fraternity house, covered in food, condiments and other liquids — with several showing signs of being physically struck.
Officers responded to an anonymous tip at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house on Langdon Street in Madison around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday during rush week. The thermostat in the basement was set to 81 degrees, creating hot and humid conditions. The vast majority of those inside were 18 years old.
Fraternity president Brayden J. Klein and vice president Samuel N. Vane, both 20, were arrested on hazing and disorderly conduct allegations. Police say cooperation from those at the scene was limited, and statements from witnesses didn't align — raising red flags for investigators.

✍️ It turns out Presidential attendance has impacted the comms of several CFB games.
LSU had a plan in case it happened in the 2019 national title game.
@davidubben and I spoke to coaches and a former secret service agent about why this happens:

I regret to inform you that it wasn't just a one-off at Ole Miss, cc: @MisfitPatriot. Someone is funding this, too, in all likelihood.

SCOOP: Top researchers at Columbia, Stanford, and others thought they were elected to elite scientific societies alongside Nobel laureates. The catch? The organizations are a sham.

Is that a homemade Charlie Kirk shirt?

The report insists Turning Point had key decision making power. That may be bad for its lawsuit. But there is plenty of error by campus police especially since Kirk had been there before.

I got bored, I made a visualization of how many extra minutes people now have to work in each state in order to afford a gallon of gasoline - starting from biden's last day, based on that state's median income.
You'll never guess what happens

Got my third Rick Jackson mailer in a week here in Hall County - same “she is soft on crime” just different colors. Haven’t seen one KLB mailer or TV ad. Saw one yard sign. I’m surprised it’s this close too #gapol
IMHO #GAGOV being a tossup is an indictment on both candidates
KLB: sharing a ticket with a strong Dem senate incumbent in the best year imaginable
RJ: hasn’t really moved the needle in a historically red state despite spending a gazillion dollars
