- An attorney representing the family of Charlie Kirk has filed a formal written notice against the state of Utah, Utah Valley University (UVU), and campus police, alleging severe security failures leading up to his assassination on September 10, 2025. According to the paperwork, the family claims there were major security lapses at the event, which drew thousands of attendees. The allegations state that only six police officers were available, no prior risk assessment was conducted, and no ambulances were on standby—noting that Kirk's body had to be transported to the hospital in the back of an SUV. While the university has acknowledged receipt of the notice, the state Attorney General has declined to comment. A formal lawsuit seeking unspecified damages is expected to follow. Meanwhile, a judge ruled earlier this month that the trial for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of Kirk's murder, will move forward, though an official trial date has not yet been set.

- Shocking courthouse surveillance video captured the moment an inmate broke through his handcuffs and viciously attacked multiple sheriff's deputies during a desperate escape attempt. Timothy Regal had just been sentenced for assault and failing to comply with a police officer when he suddenly throat-punched the deputy escorting him. The chaotic footage shows Regal bulldozing his way through a second deputy, violently tumbling down a stairwell, and making a mad dash for the front doors. His escape was narrowly thwarted when a deputy successfully deployed a Taser, bringing Regal down just before he could reach the outside. While reinforcements secured the suspect, a bystander who was at the courthouse for an unrelated matter rushed to help the bloodied deputy left on the hallway floor. Both injured deputies were transported to the hospital with reported head and back injuries. Regal is now facing additional severe charges, including felony escape and assault on two police officers.

Taking off through the streets, the runaway steed was treated to a full, VIP police escort as it galloped away from its official duties. It took a massive, multi-agency collaboration to get the situation under control.

- During Dr. Nicole Saphier’s Senate confirmation hearing to become the next US surgeon general, Senator Bill Cassidy delivered a scathing condemnation of anti-vaccine rhetoric and the recent resurgence of measles. Cassidy called the deadly return of the disease a "terrible legacy" for the Trump administration, noting that the CDC is actively having to define death by measles after decades without fatalities, pointing to four recent reported deaths in Pennsylvania. Throughout his remarks, Sen. Cassidy heavily criticized politicians who give medical advice with "zero scientific backing," specifically calling out those who continue to push thoroughly debunked claims linking vaccines to autism. He condemned the practice of scaring mothers into delaying or skipping their children's vaccines, referring to those who hide behind the excuse of "just asking questions" as gaslighting. Cassidy stated that such behavior is not leadership, but rather "performative," "irresponsible," and directly d...

The Airman, who was part of a two-person F-15 fighter jet crew, recently sat down with 'Sixty Minutes' over the weekend to share his incredible story of survival behind enemy lines. After his jet was shot down, the Airman ejected but suffered a damaged parachute. During his terrifying free fall, he sustained severe injuries, including a broken back, arm, and shoulder. Despite being badly wounded, he miraculously managed to hike up a 7,000-foot ridge to hide and avoid capture by Iranian forces who were actively searching for him. His fellow crew member was rescued shortly after the crash, but it took a massive, 50-hour operation involving hundreds of American military and intelligence personnel—including elite Special Operations forces—to finally bring him home.
