Charlie Kirk, who was a champion for free speech, a devout Christian, and the founder of Turning Point USA, would have been 32 years old today. Kirk was assassinated on September 10 during a speaking event at Utah Valley University. His murder shocked the world and millions of people have mourned the loss of the man who will be remembered as an American patriot. President Donald Trump is expected to return from his trip to Israel on Tuesday to award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, Breitbart News reported Saturday. The outlet noted the honor will be bestowed during a White House ceremony. In a social media post on Tuesday, Turning Point USA honored Kirk, who never balked at sharing his faith in Jesus Christ with others, by stating, “A life lived boldly. A legacy remembered forever. Happy birthday, Charlie.” Meanwhile, Breitbart News reported on September 18 that the United States Senate “unanimously approved a resolution led by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) designating October 14, 2025, as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, honoring the late Turning Point USA founder’s legacy of faith, free speech, and civic engagement.” A new report posted on X shows a steep decline in the number of young people who identify as “non-binary,” suggesting that the non-conforming sexual identity contagion that has infected so many young lives over the last few years is now retreating. “Trans identification is in free fall among the young,” author and commentator Eric Kaufman wrote on X above a chart showing the plummeting numbers of “Students Not Identifying as Male or Female” at select college campuses. Kansas lawmakers are debating whether to expand health care providers’ access to the federal 340B drug pricing program. If passed, Senate Bill 284 would hand even more power to large hospital chains while shrinking consumer choice. It would also deepen the program’s existing problems — lack of accountability, rising costs, and market consolidation — all without helping the patients it was supposed to serve. The 340B program, created in 1992, was meant to help safety-net providers serving uninsured and low-income patients by requiring drug manufacturers to sell medications at steep discounts. Today, it has ballooned into the second-largest prescription drug purchasing program in the United States, behind only Medicare Part D, costing $66.3 billion in 2023. SB 284 would make that worse. The bill would block drugmakers from denying access to certain drugs, reduce transparency, and discourage innovation. It would do nothing to stop hospitals from exploiting the program. The myth behind 340B is that big health systems use their windfalls to support rural hospitals. The reality is the opposite. As 340B has expanded, rural hospitals have closed by the dozens. The law’s original purpose — to subsidize drug purchases for clinics that serve the needy — has been lost. What began as a narrow, temporary safety net for vulnerable populations has evolved into a profit engine for massive hospital systems. Many 340B participants today are large urban hospitals, cancer centers, and wealthy institutions that do little charity care. Once a hospital buys an outpatient clinic, it can immediately declare that clinic 340B-eligible, regardless of the patients it serves. Those discounted drugs can then be billed at full price to insurers or government programs, and the hospital keeps the difference. Hospitals buy drugs cheap, bill high, and pocket the profits... Instead of cutting costs, 340B creates a hidden subsidy that enriches institutions while obscuring the real price of care. Worse, some hospitals use their freed-up funds to expand abortion and gender-transition services, sidestepping Hyde Amendment restrictions on federal money for those procedures. One of the most brazen robberies in recent French history has taken the world by shock. As CBS News reported, masked thieves carried out a stunning daytime heist at the Louvre in Paris, the world’s most visited museum, on Sunday morning. The museum was forced to close following the incident as authorities began to investigate. A museum spokesperson told CBS News in a statement that the theft occurred at around 9:30 a.m. in broad daylight. They said several people broke into the Louvre through the Galerie d’Apollon and stole jewelry before racing away on motorcycles. “An investigation has begun, and a detailed list of the stolen items is being compiled,” the statement continued. “Beyond their market value, these items have inestimable heritage and historical value.” Among the items stolen were a necklace, a brooch, and a tiara. Another historic item, a crown belonging to the legendary French Emperor Napoleon’s wife, Empress Eugenie, was damaged outside the gallery. Jordan Bardella, a politician with the populist National Rally Party and likely 2027 French Presidential candidate, called the heist “an intolerable humiliation” for France. “The Louvre is a global symbol of our culture. This heist, which allowed thieves to steal the Crown Jewels of France, is an intolerable humiliation for our country,” he wrote on X. “How far will the decay of the state go?” The Louvre welcomes around 8.7 million visitors every year and attracts roughly 30,000 per day. It is home to some of the world’s most famous works of art, including Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/shock-masked-thieves-riding-motorcycles-break-worlds-most/ Almost 70 percent of American adults are considered obese under a revamped definition of obesity, according to a peer-reviewed study published in the JAMA Network Open and conducted by researchers affiliated with the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/nearly-7-10-american-adults-meet-new-definition-obese-study Not sure where this goes. Nelson Walters about Palantir. I had heard the name of course but didn't know anything about it. I thought this was fascinating. Polish President Karol Nawrocki has signed a law that completely eliminates personal income tax (PIT) for all parents raising at least two children. This “fiscal shield,” inspired by Hungary's successful model, takes effect immediately and could save an average family up to 1,000 zlotys (235 euros) per month, strengthening the backbone of society against leftist policies that erode birth rates. Data shows that 76% of Poles see it as essential to combat the 2024 fertility rate of 1.16 children per woman, the lowest in the country's history. For low-income families, the benefit is modest (75 zlotys per month), but the message is clear: rewarding responsible parenthood, not subsidizing woke ideologies that promote sterile individualism. The European Conservative Party highlights how it emulates Hungary, where mothers with two children already enjoy a lifelong exemption, boosting birth rates by 20% since 2010. This news breaks the pessimism: Poland proves that conservative governments prioritize life, not an omnipotent state. https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/10/breaking-news-poland-fully-exempts-parents-two-more/ China’s state-run Global Times on Monday reported that 25 provincial authorities are set to begin distributing “maternity allowances” to women on November 1. In other words, having exhausted every other strategy to combat demographic decline, China will start paying women to have babies. Louise Loo, head of Asia research for Oxford Economics, glumly noted to the Washington Post on October 11 that it is “almost impossible to reverse a demographic decline,” even for an authoritarian regime like China with fairly deep pockets. China’s brutal “One Child Policy” of population control left the next generation short of fertile women, since couples wanted boys more than girls. The Chinese Communist regime seemed surprised that it could not simply order its population to start having more children when demographic decline became apparent. Numerous big-money programs to increase fertility have failed to produce adequate results, as in other declining countries that attempted similar programs, like Japan and South Korea. “The Chinese government is now throwing money at the problem, but it may come as too little, too late. Last month, Beijing unveiled a new subsidy of about $500 a year for the first three years of a child’s life. On social media, some commentators noted they would consider having more children if the subsidy were 10 times what’s being offered,” the Washington Post noted. https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2025/10/20/china-begins-paying-women-to-have-babies/ According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Singh is an Indian illegal alien who was caught and released by border patrol agents at the El Centro, California, sector by the Biden administration in March 2022. “I’m told ICE is placing a detainer request on Singh with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where he is in custody on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He has not been formally charged yet,” Bill Melugin said. Eyewitnesses said the collision created a massive fireball after the driver failed to stop as traffic slowed down. A total of 8 vehicles, including four big rig trucks, were involved in the deadly crash. An eyewitness said Singh was driving at a high rate of speed when he slammed into the vehicles. Singh was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. Other charges are pending. Tuesday’s horrific accident comes as California is under fire for giving Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) to illegal aliens. Investigators found that one in four commercial driver’s licenses issued in California were improperly issued to non US citizens, including illegal aliens. Illegal aliens who failed reading tests were issued CDLs. Over the summer, an illegal alien named Harjinder Singh killed three people on a Florida highway. The Punjabi driver who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California – and Washington state – made an insane U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce in August and caused a deadly crash. The horrifying video shows Singh completely unbothered and unfazed after a minivan collided with his truck as he made an illegal U-turn. It was later reported that Harjinder Singh couldn’t even read English and failed the basic English reading tests. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/breaking-identity-21-year-old-semi-truck-driver/ In August, 28-year-old illegal alien Harjinder Singh of India was driving a semi-truck when he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway and spurred a crash that left three people dead. Video of the crash quickly went viral as Singh, and his brother in the passenger seat, can be seen having little-to-no reaction to the crash. ...we learned that Singh failed his written exam 10 times, and he took his behind-the-wheel training course at a private CDL school in Washington,” Uthmeier wrote on X. “That school will be hearing from my office soon.” An investigation opened by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy found that Singh was able to secure the CDL thanks to the sanctuary states of Washington and California. After the deadly crash in Florida, Singh was given an English Language Proficiency assessment by the Department of Transportation. Officials said he failed the test, correctly answering only 2 of 12 verbal questions and accurately identifying just 1 of 4 traffic signs. The fatal crash involving the illegal alien spurred Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pause the issuance of CDLs going to foreign nationals.
