Charlie Kirk’s assassination latest case of conservatives being targeted for murder

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The horrific assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk Wednesday is the latest entry in a grim and growing tally of conservative figures and institutions being targeted for violence, vandalism and murder.
The fatal shooting follows a lengthy recent history of conservatives and Republicans facing violence, a Fox News Digital review of the last four years found, including two assassination attempts against President Donald Trump in a roughly two-month span in 2024.
Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his «American Comeback Tour» when shots rang out and he collapsed on stage. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The 31-year-old husband and father was a staunch ally of President Donald Trump’s, and toured the nation promoting right-of-center ideology to youths, most notably on college campuses. He founded his conservative group more than a dozen years ago.

Conservatives and pro-life nonprofits have been targeted with shootings, arson, and vandalism in just the past four years.
Trump himself has faced two assassination attempts, including on July 13, 2024, when he was shot in the ear while joining a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooting rocked the election cycle as Trump rose, bleeding and defiant, and urged the crowd to «Fight, fight, fight.» The assassination attempt came just two days before the Republican National Convention was set to kick off in Milwaukee.
Trump appeared at the convention while wearing a bandage on his ear, and noted how he «had God on my side» during the attempt. The motive of the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper, remains unclear. The FBI has pointed to a complex web of personal grievances, mental health issues and a desire for notoriety as leading to the act, Fox News Digital previously reported.
RYAN ROUTH TRIAL OPENS WITH BIZARRE JURY QUESTIONS AND WITNESS DRAMA
Just weeks later on Sept. 15, 2024, Trump was rushed off of his golf course in Florida when shots rang out. The suspect in that assassination attempt case, Ryan Routh, posted prolifically about Trump, the 2024 election and politics in the lead up to the attempt, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Routh is going on trial Thursday over the case, and described the president as an «insecure ego idiot-mad fool» in court documents in September, the New York Post reported.
RILEY GAINES ‘AMBUSHED AND PHYSICALLY HIT’ AFTER SAVING WOMEN’S SPORTS SPEECH AT SAN FRANCISCO STATE
Attacks on conservatives have unfolded at the grassroots level, as well, including this year when the New Mexico Republican Party’s headquarters faced an arson attack. The attack destroyed the entrance to the headquarters, while graffiti reading «ICE=KKK» scrawled on the building.
The suspect in that case, who also allegedly attacked a Tesla Albuquerque Showroom, was hit with federal charges as Attorney General Pam Bondi pointed to the incident as a disturbing case of political violence.

TPUSA chapters around the nation have also faced other incidents of violence this year, including when a group of students with Turning Point USA at UC Davis were attacked by masked individuals in April, Fox Digital reported at the time.
The conservative group was in the midst of hosting a «Prove me Wrong» event with a guest speaker when protesters destroyed camera gear, a tent, event signage, flipped tables, and assaulted group staff, TPUSA said at the time.

Looking back at 2023, former NCAA swimmer and conservative political activist Riley Gaines was also attacked and barricaded in a room at San Francisco State University following a speech to students promoting a ban on biological males from playing in women’s sports. The event was part of a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute forum on campus.
DATA SHOW THERE HAVE BEEN 22 TIMES MORE ATTACKS ON PRO-LIFERS THAN PRO-CHOICE GROUPS SINCE SUPREME COURT LEAK
Churches and pro-life groups have also faced dozens upon dozens of attacks beginning in 2022 in response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which effectively ended the recognition of abortion as a constitutional right.
The attacks included a pro-life center that was «firebombed» in Buffalo, New York, in 2022, Catholic churches that were vandalized and set on fire, and pro-choice protesters interrupting church services and Catholic masses. The attacks followed a radical pro-choice group declaring in a public letter that it was «open season» on pro-lifers.

In 2017, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot along with three others when James Hodgkinson, a deranged supporter of Bernie Sanders, sprayed an Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field with gunfire as Republican lawmakers practiced for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. Scalise nearly died, but recovered and remains in office.
The fatal shooting of Kirk on Wednesday has not yet yielded a suspect, with the FBI and ATF on the ground and investigating, according to Bondi.
Trump, as well as members of his Cabinet, have offered an outpouring of support to Kirk’s family following the tragedy.

«The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,» Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday. «No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!»

Tras más de un siglo, aparece un ejemplar perdido de poemario de Manuel Machado

El hallazgo de un ejemplar completo de uno de los primeros poemarios de Manuel Machado, publicado en Barcelona en 1895 y considerado perdido durante más de un siglo, ha reconfigurado el panorama de la investigación sobre la lírica española de finales del siglo XIX.
Este volumen, que reúne versos del joven poeta sevillano y de su compañero de bohemia Enrique Paradas, permaneció fuera del alcance de los estudiosos hasta que, en enero de 2022, fue adquirido por el bibliófilo y antólogo Manuel Márquez de la Plata a través de una librería anticuaria catalana.
Durante décadas, la comunidad académica creyó que el único vestigio de este poemario era un ejemplar incompleto conservado en la Biblioteca Machado de la Institución Fernán González, dependiente de la Real Academia Burgense de Historia y Bellas Artes. A este volumen le faltaban la mayoría de las páginas atribuidas a Manuel Machado, lo que impedía conocer con precisión la extensión y el contenido de su contribución.
Las principales bibliografías, incluida la editada por la Biblioteca Nacional española en 1976, identificaban la obra bajo el título de ‘Etcétera’ y le asignaban 126 páginas, aunque sin advertir la posible ausencia de las últimas hojas. Otras referencias bibliográficas de los años setenta repetían el mismo título y, en algún caso, calificaban un ejemplar completo como un “volumen inencontrable”.

La confusión sobre el título y la integridad del poemario se mantuvo hasta el otoño de 1979, cuando el poeta y profesor Miguel d’Ors, tras analizar el ejemplar mutilado de Burgos, publicó en la revista académica Cuadernos de Investigación Filológica de la Universidad de La Rioja un artículo titulado “Donde se enmienda un error de las bibliografías Manuelmachadinas”.
En ese texto, d’Ors aclaró que el libro, firmado “Paradas-Machado”, no se llamaba Etcétera, sino & Versos, y que en la cubierta figuraba como & Colección de poesías. D’Ors interpretó el uso del símbolo “&” como una muestra del gusto personal de Machado por los títulos singulares, recordando otros poemas suyos titulados con signos como ‘¡…!’, ‘***’ y ‘….?’.
El análisis de d’Ors aportó detalles sobre la mutilación del ejemplar de Burgos: de las 126 páginas, las 120 primeras correspondían a versos de Paradas, mientras que las seis restantes incluían el nombre de Manuel Machado, el encabezado de una posible sección titulada ‘Bocetos’ y un único poema, ‘Ruinas’, ya publicado en el primer poemario conjunto del año anterior, ‘Tristes y alegres’.
D’Ors dedujo que resultaba improbable que la aportación de Machado se limitara a seis páginas y un solo poema, por lo que era evidente que faltaba una parte sustancial del libro. En su artículo, animó a los investigadores a buscar el poemario perdido en las bibliotecas, pero advirtió que debían rastrearlo bajo el título “&” y no “Etcétera”. A pesar de este llamamiento, ni entonces ni tras la reedición de su artículo en el libro Estudios sobre Manuel Machado (Renacimiento, 2000), se tuvo noticia de la aparición de un ejemplar íntegro.

La situación cambió radicalmente a comienzos de 2022, cuando Manuel Márquez de la Plata localizó el poemario en una oferta en línea de una librería anticuaria catalana, que lo vendía por unos pocos cientos de euros. Tras adquirirlo, comprobó que el volumen, impreso en 1895, constaba de 191 páginas, es decir, 65 páginas más que el ejemplar mutilado de Burgos.
Las poesías de Machado ocupaban desde la página 121 hasta la 191 y estaban divididas en dos secciones: ‘Bocetos’ y ‘Poesías en prosa’. En total, los versos del poeta sevillano en este poemario superaban los ochenta. Aproximadamente la mitad de estos poemas ya habían aparecido en publicaciones de la época, como La Caricatura, o fueron incluidos posteriormente en otros libros de Machado, pero la otra mitad no figuraba —al menos con el mismo inicio— en las últimas Poesías Completas publicadas en 2019 por la editorial Renacimiento.
Márquez de la Plata, movido por su admiración hacia Miguel d’Ors y en agradecimiento por los momentos de satisfacción que le habían proporcionado sus escritos, decidió enviarle por correo certificado una fotocopia de las páginas con las poesías de Machado. D’Ors, ya jubilado y residente en Galicia, recibió el envío con sorpresa y entusiasmo, y lo incorporó a su colección de primeras ediciones de su poeta favorito, a quien había dedicado años de estudio.
Tres años después, en la primavera de 2025, el periodista y escritor Víctor Olmos, que trabaja en una biografía de Manuel Machado, contactó telefónicamente con d’Ors para consultarle sobre el poemario. Durante la conversación, d’Ors le reveló que, gracias a Márquez de la Plata, disponía de una fotocopia de las páginas del libro supuestamente perdido y le relató cómo había llegado a sus manos.

Olmos, a punto de cumplir noventa años y con experiencia periodística, intuyó que el ejemplar podría ser único y constituir una primicia literaria, ya que, en el ámbito de la bibliografía, nada es definitivo, pero no se tiene constancia de otro ejemplar.
Olmos sugirió a d’Ors que narrara la historia del poemario perdido y hallado en algún medio, especialmente en un momento en que los Machado acaparaban la atención pública tras la exposición Los Machado. Retrato de Familia, celebrada en Sevilla, Burgos y Madrid.
D’Ors consideró que la iniciativa correspondía a su propietario, Márquez de la Plata. Finalmente, Olmos se puso en contacto con él, quien aceptó la propuesta de informar sobre la existencia del poemario para conocimiento de expertos, biógrafos y bibliógrafos machadianos.

Trump hit with setback as court rules Alina Habba unlawfully served as top federal prosecutor in New Jersey

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An appellate court found on Monday that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving as the top prosecutor in New Jersey, delivering a blow to President Donald Trump as he fights to keep his preferred nominees in charge of U.S. attorney’s offices in blue states.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said in an order that a lower court was correct to disqualify Habba, a fiery Trump loyalist who previously served as the president’s personal defense lawyer.
The Trump administration could ask for a full panel of 3rd Circuit judges to reconsider the decision, or it could turn to the Supreme Court to weigh in. Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Justice and a Habba spokesperson for comment.
A three-judge panel for the 3rd Circuit heard arguments on Habba’s appointment in October and grilled a Department of Justice lawyer over the unconventional way Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi reinstalled Habba as U.S. attorney after her initial, temporary appointment expired.

Habba is one of several names who became jammed up in court proceedings over allegations that Trump sidestepped the Senate and improperly exploited loopholes in federal vacancy laws to keep his preferred prosecutors in place.
Habba’s case was the furthest along in the court process, but Lindsey Halligan and Bill Essayli, temporary U.S. attorneys in Virginia and California, respectively, are among those also facing high-stakes court challenges to their appointments.
The panel that heard Habba’s case comprised two appointees of former President George W. Bush and one appointee of former President Barack Obama.
The judges voiced skepticism of DOJ lawyer Henry Whitaker’s claims that Bondi had authority to fill the vacancy for the U.S. attorney of New Jersey after Trump fired the court-appointed one. Whitaker said the administration simply took advantage of «overlapping mechanisms» afforded to it by Congress.

«In this case, the executive branch admittedly took a series of precise and precisely timed steps not to evade or circumvent those mechanisms but rather to be scrupulously careful to comply with them,» Whitaker said.
One of the judges said during the oral arguments that he viewed Habba’s case as unusual and possibly unconstitutional.
«Would you concede that the sequence of events here, and for me, they’re unusual, would you concede that there are serious constitutional implications to your theory here, the government’s theory, which really is a complete circumvention, it seems, of the appointments clause?» the judge asked.
Veteran D.C. lawyer Abbe Lowell, known for his involvement in lawsuits challenging the Trump administration, represented the defendants contesting Habba’s appointment.
Two sets of defendants facing run-of-the-mill charges brought the challenge to Habba, saying she should not be allowed to prosecute them because she was an invalid U.S. attorney.

Habba had no path to Senate confirmation, in part because New Jersey’s Democratic senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, did not approve of her through the Senate’s blue slip tradition.

That precedent has drawn Trump’s ire as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, stands firmly behind blue slips, which require home state senators to approve of U.S. attorney and district judge nominees.
Trump recently conveyed, through his firing of former U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, that earning Democratic senators’ approval could be disqualifying in his view, setting up a stalemate with the upper chamber over his nominees in blue states.
This is a breaking new story and will be updated.

EU official warns ‘impunity’ for Russia would mark ‘historic mistake of huge proportions’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As President Donald Trump’s administration aims to help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, a European Union official asserted that Russia must face accountability for its «crimes,» according to a report.
European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection Michael McGrath warned against allowing «impunity,» opining that it «would be a historic mistake of huge proportions.»
«I don’t think history will judge kindly any effort to wipe the slate clean for Russian crimes in Ukraine,» McGrath said, according to Politico. «They must be held accountable for those crimes and that will be the approach of the European Union in all of these discussions.
«Were we to do so, to allow for impunity for those crimes, we would be sowing the seeds of the next round of aggression and the next invasion,» he noted, according to the outlet. «And I believe that that would be a historic mistake of huge proportions.»
