Department of War Suspends Army Colonel Scott Stephens for Saying Charlie Kirk Deserved to be Assassinated

By Cristina Laila Sep. 14, 2025 1:20

Army Colonel Scott Stephens was suspended after he publicly mocked the assassination of conservative activist and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered at an event at Utah Valley University. Graphic video of Kirk getting shot in the neck with blood pouring out of his carotid artery was posted to social media – and Colonel Stephens said Kirk deserved this.

“The death of Charlie Kirk in Utah was tragic.However, we can take comfort in the fact that Charlie was doing what he loved best – spreading messages of hate, racism, homophobia, misogyny and transphobia on college campuses. It also allows us to see who in our lives support those views. I would offer empathy, but Charlie hated empathy. As we have been told in the wake of so many other tragedies, we have to move on. We can’t make this political,” Stephens said in a social media post.

A Facebook user pushed back on Stephens and replied,“He did not deserve to be assassinated. What happened to freedom of speech? It isn’t political. It’s evil.”

Stephens replied, “[Charlie] spent years inciting political violence to die the victim of it. Tragic, for sure. Certainly aren’t going to argue that. But everyone shouldn’t be shocked when the leopards actually eat your face.”

Colonel Stephens believes Charlie Kirk’s beautiful Christian wife, Erika, deserves to be a widow. Stephens believes Kirk’s two young babies deserve to be fatherless.

What a monster.

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth last week said his agency is tracking military personnel and DOW civilians who mock or celebrate the assassination of a fellow American.

“The Department of War has zero tolerance for it,” spokesman Sean Parnell said.

Stephens was suspended after his social media post was brought to the Department of War’s attention.

Rep. Ilhan Omar Suggests Trump’s America is Worse Than Somalia:‘I Don’t Remember Ever Witnessing Anything Like That’ – Omar Fled Somalia in a Plane When Their Compound Was Attacked by 20 Men

by Ben Kew Sep. 14, 2025 10:00 pm

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar has insisted that her home country of Somalia were not as bad America is under President Trump.

The Minnesota Congresswoman made the commentsduring an appearance this weekend on the YouTube channel Democracy Now!,where she complained about the Trump administration’s policy of mass deportations and restoring law and order to cities like Washington D.C. and Chicago.

She explained:

Armed men who are in plainclothes that are snatching people off the streets, unwilling to identify themselves. You have the military being deployed in our streets. My God, this is America. You have states’ rights being disregarded. You know, the constitutional crisis that’s being created in front of our eyes.

And the same week where we have a president who has deployed the military, who are trained to kill our enemies, not Americans, but our enemies, are in our streets. It’s the same week that we are going to have a military parade. Can you imagine that image that is going to be coming out of our country?

I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship. And I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights.

While our president is spending millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade. It is really shocking and it should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in, this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our constitution, our ideals, our values.

We should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting what is taking place this week.

Watch the clip below:

When Omar and her family arrived in the U.S. in 1995, Somalia was already a failed state.

The central government had been overthrown years earlier, leaving the country carved up by rival warlords and militias who terrorized civilians with violence, extortion, and checkpoints.

Law and order had completely disintegrated, and famine and disease had already killed hundreds of thousands.

That same year, the United Nations abandoned its failed peacekeeping mission, pulling out after years of bloodshed and humiliation.

Somalia was left a stateless wasteland where survival depended on clan loyalties and the barrel of a gun.

Radical Democrat Ilhan Omar and her privileged family fled Somalia in a plane after a gang of 20 armed men attacked their private compound.

The country’s situation has not improved much since. It is widely considered the most dangerous country on earth, with the U.S. State Department urging Americans not to travel there under any circumstances.

Finnish PM admits Russia sanctions hurting economy

Trade has been largely scrapped and billions in investments lost, Petteri Orpo has said

Finland’s economic growth has suffered due to sanctions on Russia linked to the Ukraine conflict, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo has admitted.He noted that Finland has lost nearly all trade with Russia and billions in investments since it closed the border with its neighbor.

Finland, which shares a 1,300km (800-mile) border with Russia, has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow in line with EU policy since 2022. It has also tightened entry rules for Russian citizens and shut all but one border checkpoint with its neighbor. The moves saw trade between the two countries drop to $1.5 billion in 2024, compared with $11 billion in pre-conflict 2021.

In an interview with Yle Areena on Saturday, Orpo acknowledged that sanctions have hit Finland harder than most EU members due to its traditionally close trade ties with Russia.

“The fact that the border is closed means, for example, 10 million cubic meters of Russian timber for our industry is not coming in. Finnish companies have lost billions in investments in Russia. Nearly all border traffic and trade have stopped,” Orpo said. “That brings uncertainty. All this has led to the fact that the growth of the Finnish economy has not been as desired.”

Despite this, Orpo echoed other NATO members in claiming Russia remains a “permanent threat”to Finland and the EU, vowing to increase defense spending and militarization to counter it. Finland joined NATO in 2023, a step Moscow – which views the bloc’s expansion as a trigger of the Ukraine conflict – called a “historic mistake.”

Russia has repeatedly rejected claims it poses a threat, accusing the West of fueling Russophobia to justify military buildups and divert attention from domestic problems. It has condemned Western sanctions as illegal and warned they would backfire.

The Finnish economy slipped into recession in both 2023 and 2024. According to Eurostat, its growth projections for 2025 are the lowest in the EU.

Polish PM reports wave of ‘antipathy’ towards Ukraine

Donald Tusk believes “it is the role of politicians is to stem this tide”

The Polish population is starting to develop antipathy toward Ukraine,but the government should make efforts to curb this shift in sentiment, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said. His comments come after several drones recently fell on Polish territory, which Warsaw blamed on Russia. Moscow has dismissed the allegation as baseless.

In a post on X on Sunday,Tusk stated that “there is a growing wave of pro-Russian sentiment and antipathy towards a struggling Ukraine,” claiming it is being fueled by the Kremlin and “genuine fears and emotions” alike, without elaborating.

He added that “the role of politicians is to stem this tide,” not to take advantage of it. “This is a test of the patriotism and maturity of the entire Polish political class,” Tusk said.

His warning followed an incident last week when officials reported at least 19 violations of Polish airspace by drones, adding that up to four UAVs were downed, and that there had been damage on the ground but no casualties. Warsaw subsequently accused Russia of staging an “act of aggression.”

The Russian Defense Ministry dismissed the allegation,stating that none of its drone operations are aimed at Poland and that they only target Ukrainian military-linked facilities. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “the leadership of the EU and NATO accuse Russia of provocations on a daily basis, most often declining to offer any arguments.”

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski acknowledged that many of the drones entered from Ukrainian territory, adding they were capable of carrying munitions but had not been loaded with explosives.

He also dismissed suggestions that Poland’s air defenses were unprepared for a drone incursion, despite reports that several UAVs had travelled hundreds of miles into Polish airspace. His remarks came after several Western media outlets, including Politico and Austria’s Kurier, noted that the episodehighlighted the vulnerability of NATO members to large-scale drone attacks.

(Do these leaders truly think they can change the thoughts and emotions of the people, when the Ukraine war has affected all the people’s lives? Poland has invited the most Ukrainian refugees in their country and are living off money that should be going to the Poles. Tusk is an EU ally and has ruined Polands relationship with the U.S. He is a NWO leader)

Poland pours cold water on ‘security guarantees’ for Ukraine

There are “no volunteers” to fight Russia if the conflict reignites after a settlement, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said

Western ‘security guarantees’ for Ukraine could end up being hollow, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has warned, arguing that Kiev’s backers have so far shown no willingness to go to war with Russia if the conflict flares up again after a potential ceasefire.

Western capitals have for months debated over the commitments that could accompany a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. According to media reports,leaders in France and the UK have floated proposals for a ‘reassurance force’ on the groundfar from the front line, as well as aerial assets to help monitor the ceasefire.

A number of other EU states have pushed back against sending troops to Ukraine, proposing instead to focus on other types of support. US President Donald Trump has also ruled out sending ground troops to Ukraine, but said America could contribute in other ways.

Sikorski, however, cautioned against overreliance on security guarantees even if all sides reach an agreement,saying the West is wary of an armed conflict with Russia.

“Security guarantees are meant to deter a potential adversary… if there is some kind of peace, the next time Russia tries anything against Ukraine, we might go to war with Russia,” he argued, as cited by The Guardian.

In this case, Sikorski said, this framework looks “not very credible.”

“If you want to go [to] war with Russia, you can do it today, and I see no volunteers. And there is nothing more dangerous in international relations than giving a guarantee that is not credible,” he added.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pushed back against the comments, suggesting that Warsaw should have warned Kiev of the caveats in the potential guarantees before persuading it to follow a pro-Western path.

Moscow has signaled that it is open to Western security guarantees for Ukraine in principle, but stressed that they should not be aimed against Russia. It is also strongly opposed to NATO troops in Ukraine, arguing that the bloc’s expansion towards Russia’s borders was one of the key reasons for the conflict.

(It’s all talk pushed by Macron and Starmer. None of these countries have enough military to even protect their own countries. All they were doing, is to get their own citizens to think more highly of them, which will never happen. And it was all based on having US soldiers there, and that will NEVER happen!)

Ukraine adds three-year-old to state-backed ‘kill list’

The child, along with several other minors, was blacklisted for alleged “border violations” and “threats to Ukraine’s sovereignty”

A group of Russian children, the youngest of whom is just three years old, has been targeted by the controversial Mirotvorets(Peacemaker) website, which publishes personal details of individuals it labels as ‘enemies’ of Ukraine.

According to an entry added on September 13,one child born in April 2022 is accused of “conscious violation of the state border” and “encroachment on sovereignty.” On the same day, five other minors aged 5, 9, 10, 12, and 16 were also blacklistedfor similar alleged offenses. Earlier this week, a five-year-old and several 11-year-olds were added to the site.

Russia’s special envoy on humanitarian issues, Rodion Miroshnik, condemned the targeting of children, accusing Kiev of “sowing discord and hatred” to incite hostility toward other Slavic nations.

“The Ukrainian Reich is declaring toddlers enemies of their state,” he told TASS. “The radicals and Nazis who rule the ball in Ukraine todayharass not only politicians or military personnel, but also their children, their close and distant relatives, seeking to sow the seeds of hatred as deeply as possible into the shattered consciousness of Ukrainians.”

Launched in 2014, Mirotvorets publishes the personal data of individuals it claims threaten Ukraine’s national security. Although nominally independent, thesite is closely linked to Ukrainian state security services and has been branded a ‘kill list’, as several people listed on it – including journalists and politicians – have later been killed or died under suspicious circumstances.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has described the website as a hit list targeting individuals Kiev allegedly wants to “eliminate.”

In addition to Russian children, Mirotvorets has previously targeted numerous international figures. Earlier this year, Hollywood director Woody Allen, actor Mark Eydelshteyn, and Russian hockey star Alexander Ovechkin were added. Israel’s 2024 Eurovision contestant, Eden Golan, was blacklisted for taking part in a children’s competition in Crimea when she was 12.

The list has also included prominent Americans such as US Director of National IntelligenceTulsi Gabbard and journalist Tucker Carlson.Other high-profile figures have included Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the late US diplomat Henry Kissinger, and musician Roger Waters.

Trump claims he will ‘have to do all the talking’ for Putin and Zelensky

The US president says he has “stopped” seven wars but the Ukraine conflict has proved tougher than expected

A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky is possible but would be hard to arrange because “they hate each other,” US President Donald Trump has said.He claimed that he would need to “intervene” to bring the two leaders together.

Trump met with Putin for a summit in Alaska last month, after which he pledged to prepare a meeting between the Russian president and Zelensky.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday during a visit to the memorial of slain activist Charlie Kirk,Trump claimed the hatred between Putin and Zelensky was “unfathomable,” adding he believed he would “have to do all the talking.”

The US president also claimed to have “stopped seven wars,” and admitted he thought the Ukraine conflict would “be an easy one for me, but this has turned out to be tough.”

While no Putin-Zelensky meeting has been confirmed,Trump indicated that talks could take place “relatively soon,” without giving details on the potential format. “We’re going to get it worked out one way or the other,” he said. “So I’m going to have to get involved.”

Putin has said he is ready in principle to meet Zelensky and suggested the Ukrainian leader could travel to Moscow for negotiations. Kiev has rejected the idea, saying it would not accept “deliberately unacceptable proposals.”

At the same time, the Russian president has raised doubts about the legitimacy of Zelensky’s position and whether talks would be “meaningful.” Zelensky’s presidential term expired last May, but he has refused to hold elections, citing martial law.

Putin has also said reaching agreements with Kiev on key issues would be “practically impossible.” He has noted that even with political will there were “legal and technical difficulties” tied to territorial disputes. The remarks referred to Crimea and other regions that voted to join Russia in referendums in 2014 and 2022.

Moscow has repeatedly said it is ready for peace negotiations with Kiev if the “reality on the ground” is taken into account. It has also said it would agree to an immediate ceasefire if Ukraine withdrew its troops from the new Russian regions or halted mobilization and Western arms deliveries.

(If the U.S. stops sending Ukraine arms through NATO, the faucet will turn off asap. The EU barely sends them anything. So turning off U.S. money and arms, Zelensky and Kiev would have to participate!)

Charlie Kirk assassination investigation widens to probe whether pro-trans, online groups knew in advance

By Josh Christenson and

Published Sep. 14, 2025, 3:26 p.m. ET

The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.

The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.

Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.

Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.

Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.

Flyers promoting the event hosted in partnership with self-described “leftist student organization” Mecha de U of U obtained by Young America’s Foundation feature a young woman clad in two ammo belts and clutching an AK-47, with her finger on the trigger.

The flyer includes a prominent hammer and sickle, as well as a rainbow flag, and includes the words “agitate, educate, organize.”

In an interview with Voyage Utah last year, a representative for Armed Queers SLC said in response to a question about risk-taking, “Our commitment to something much bigger than ourselves, to people’s struggles against racism, transphobia, and capitalism, means much more to us than any risk.”

Details have emerged in recent days that point to Robinson being radicalized by far-left politics and a pernicious fringe internet culture.

A neighbor claimed that two weeks ago, several people, driving cars with out-of-state plates, were seen going in and out. “They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.

Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single bullet shortly after being posed a question about transgender mass shooters at his American Comeback Tour college speaking engagement.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak.

“Too many,” Kirk responded.

“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” Kozak followed up.

“Counting or not counting gang violence?” the Turning Point USA founder sought to clarify.
