Charlie Kirk has been transformed into an internet laughing stock, with his legacy destroyed by grifters and his wife.

https://theintercept.com/2026/09/07/charlie-kirk-internet-meme/

In the year since he was gunned down at an event at Utah Valley University, the Turning Point USA founder has gone from a man cut down in his prime to a recurring internet meme, complete with an AI-generated song, “We Are Charlie Kirk,” which hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 U.S. ranking. Audio of his killing became a TikTok sound for girlie outfit transformation videos; he’s been inserted into movies like “Avatar” and “The Odyssey”; he’s been AI’d into Studio Ghibli-style art, the final scene of “The Sopranos,” and the video game “Grand Theft Auto.” Even the moment of his death has gotten the meme treatment, with parodies depicting him with Jeffrey Epstein and Benjamin Netanyahu.

The ridicule comes as a product of the American right’s insistence that Kirk’s violent death be taken seriously. They fought back hard against the meme-making and serious critique alike, weaponizing the conservative college-whisperer’s death to broadly crack down on free speech.

President Trump and his allies almost immediately blamed Democrats and “the radical left,” without evidence, for Kirk’s assassination. At the Department of Defense, Secretary Pete Hegseth promised to investigate whether members of the armed forces were inadequately mournful and terminate them. The State Department revoked visas of noncitizens who “celebrated” Kirk’s death. Local cops got in on the civil rights-bashing fun, too: A Tennessee man was arrested for posting a meme in the wake of Kirk’s death, amid a wave of firings in the state on similarly unstable grounds.

Some 10 days before Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally warned by the leader of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive move against Israel, but did not update Israeli security leaders and did nothing with the information, according to a report on Tuesday.

An Emirati source familiar with the conversation confirmed the Haaretz newspaper’s report to The Times of Israel later Tuesday, and said the warning came during a phone call between the two leaders.

The UAE itself declined to confirm or deny the report, issuing a statement that noted “open lines of communication” with Israel through which “all relevant intelligence has been and continues to be communicated.”

Netanyahu’s office issued a statement Tuesday evening saying that “the press reports are false. No warning was given to the Prime Minister from the United Arab Emirates before October 7. If there was any relevant information, it was passed through intelligence channels between the two countries.”

The Haaretz report cited a new book, “Kidnapped: 843 Days of Abandonment,” by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, based on interviews with dozens of sources including senior officials in Israel and around the world. It said three senior foreign officials were updated on the contents of the 45-minute phone call at the end of September, and it cited a Palestinian adviser to Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed who emigrated from Gaza to the UAE and had direct knowledge of the conversation.

grindr crashes during the Republican mid term convention after nude pictures of Hasan prominently displayed

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/grindr-crashes-in-dallas-after-huge-surge-in-activity-at-the-republican-national-convention/ar-AA2bWVdu

Grindr, the world's largest LGBTQ+ dating app, reportedly went down as the Republican National Convention's midterm event began on Wednesday.

According to Downdetector, the app reported several outages just as the conservative event kicked off at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The highest number of reported outages appeared to occur in and around the Dallas area.

A similar incident was reported during the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "If that's the case, it aligns with Grindr activity during previous national conventions," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Former Republican New York Congressman George Santos jokingly called the RNC the "Grindr Super Bowl" in a video posted to X. "Let me tell you something, just come out the closet, boys. Come on, it’s fun! You can be gay and conservative."

"But, look, Grindr’s already outing you anyway based on the hits, and guess who’s in town? It’s all you conservatives. Bye!" In the same video, Santos said he met his husband, Matt Gerard, on Grindr. "I'm openly gay, no qualms about it, proud conservative Republican."

After the 2016 RNC in Cleveland, a Vice article cited Grindr data showing that user traffic in the area around the convention's main hub increased by 66%. Other Grindr hotspots like Times Square, Capitol Hill, Disneyland, and South Beach, Florida, saw no comparable increase in user traffic at the time, according to the outlet.

>Four of the games on the White House’s arcade website were still available to play as of Tuesday afternoon, including apparent clones of “Flappy Bird” and “Snake,” but the Tetris-style game entitled “Build the Wall” was nowhere to be found.

>It was not immediately clear why the White House removed the game, although the Tetris Company has successfully sued imitators in the past.

>The Tetris Company previously stated it was “not involved” in the game’s production and takes copyright infringement “very seriously,” shortly after the arcade website was unveiled.

>The White House and Tetris did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Forbes.

The White House released a collection of MAGA-themed online arcade games last week, which featured Trump-approved messages modeled after classic games. These include “Flappy Bill,” an apparent riff on the classic mobile game “Flappy Bird,” and “Rio Run,” which is reminiscent of the “Snake” games that came programmed into Nokia cell phones. The White House also released videos previewing the site featuring vintage logos for Xbox, Sega and Pac-Man, among other iconic gaming brandings. So far, no games publishers have announced copyright challenges against the website.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/911-air-quality-report-mamdani-ground-zero-b3046630.html

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released more than 170,000 pages of internal records Tuesday that show officials misled people about the safety of the air around Ground Zero after the September 11 terror attacks.

“People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air,” Mamdani said during a news conference.

The move came just days before the U.S. is set to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the al Qaeda hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people when passenger planes toppled the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, damaged the Pentagon and crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Comedian and activist Jon Stewart, an outspoken supporter of first responders who were sickened while searching for remains at Ground Zero, also spoke at Mamdani’s City Hall news conference.

“There was poison in the air, and on the ground, and in the window sills, and in your air conditioners, and covering your pets and your clothes, and it stayed there for months,” he said. “Everyone knew. Now it’s very clear that the city knew as well.”

Key findings from the documents, which were reviewed by The New York Times before Tuesday’s announcement, include:

• Asbestos levels in dust samples throughout lower Manhattan exceeded hazardous limits in the days after September 11.

https://apnews.com/article/labor-day-record-high-gas-prices-dffb7d3fa06ef930aaeebc380e5e4e0e

It’s never been more expensive in the U.S. to fill up the tank and take one last summer trip over the Labor Day weekend.

The average price of regular gas was $4.14 a gallon heading into the holiday, nearly a dollar higher than last year and well above the Labor Day weekend record of $3.82 from 2012, according to AAA motor club.

Nicole Collins planned to head from Philadelphia to South Carolina to visit friends, but she said her family has spent most of the summer close to home and not taking their typical weekend trips because driving has gotten so expensive.

“Gas is pretty high right now. It doesn’t help that we also have a baby, so we also have to pay for that,” Collins said outside a gas station in Claymont, Delaware, where regular gas was $4.199 a gallon.

Prices shot up after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February and have not settled down since. Crude oil traffic through the key Strait of Hormuz has plunged, and Iran has refused to reopen the waterway.

“Everything points to the Iran War and the Strait of Hormuz,” said Tom Seng, a professor of energy finance at Texas Christian University.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright offered few specifics on when the nation’s drivers might see relief at the gas pump, acknowledging that prices are higher now than Labor Day 2025.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/04/politics/small-potatoes-trump-iran

President Donald Trump on Friday labeled the Iran war “small potatoes,” the latest attempt to minimize a six-month conflict that caused a spike in gas prices and led to the deaths of 18 American service-members.

“A lot of people don’t call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it’s small potatoes for us. It’s not a big thing,” he said in the Oval Office.

A day earlier, Vice President JD Vance said the conflict shouldn’t be termed a “war” since major combat operations ended months ago.

Trump similarly cast the conflict as periodic and low-grade, despite routine rounds of back-and-forth strikes.

“I would say that it’s intermittent. You know, we do intermittent strikes,” Trump said, adding: “There’s a lot of truth that we’re not fighting right now. There’s no fighting.”

This week the US said it had targeted nearly 60 military targets around the Strait of Hormuz — including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites — while simultaneously escorting ships through the waterway.

The administration had signaled it was moving past a military strategy, focusing instead on choking off Iran financially by applying sanctions on its trading partners. So far, however, the US has stopped short of punishing China, Tehran’s biggest economic lifeline.

CANFIELD, Ohio (WOIO) - An armed Canfield man was arrested Sunday at the Canfield Fair after lunging at Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton and injuring multiple people, according to campaign officials and sheriff’s deputies.

Records show Patrick Havas, 38, of Canfield, has been booked into the Mahoning County Jail on two counts of assault and one count of disorderly conduct.
What Happened

Gerry Ricciutti, a spokesperson for the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office, said Havas walked around 2:30 p.m. into a tent for the Mahoning County Democrat Party (MCDP) and was taking cellphone video of Acton.

As Acton spoke to a crowd pf people, Ricciutti said Havas pushed his way through them, knocking two to the ground.

Havas was confronted by Acton’s security detail, which included Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, and was arrested by Canfield police officers.

Ricciutti said deputies recovered two guns and a set of brass knuckles following his arrest. However, he said Havas did not use the weapons during the incident.
