Following the attack, President Donald Trump promised "a lot of damage done to the people that did it."Ayad Mansoor Sakat, of Macomb, Michigan, a U.S. civilian working as an interpreter, was also killed in the attack. He was buried in Michigan over the weekend, the AP reported. Citing the Iowa National Guard, the AP said that soldiers' funerals will take place in the coming days. Like Blaze News?

'All in': TPUSA's Andrew Kolvet sets sights on 2028 presidential candidate after AmFest

With the first Turning Point USA AmFest convention since Charlie Kirk's death in September now concluded, TPUSA's Andrew Kolvet offered his insights on the convention and the political path ahead.Earlier this week, Kolvet told Fox News in an interview that Turning Point is "all in" for one of Charlie Kirk's closest friends in politics.'Charlie was very close to the vice president and had basically endorsed him already for months beforehand.'"We're all in behind Vice President JD Vance. Charlie considered him a generational talent and somebody that could lead this nation forward," Kolvet, executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show," said. Kolvet remarked that it was almost natural for the organization to support JD Vance given Charlie Kirk's relationship with him. "Charlie was very close to the vice president and had basically endorsed him already for months beforehand. It was no surprise for us. It was no surprise for those who were close to us."RELATED: TPUSA straw poll shows dominant front-runner for 2028 nomination Turning Point CEO Erika Kirk announced her endorsement of JD Vance during her speech at America Fest on the first day of the convention."We're gonna ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years," she said. "We are going to get my husband's friend JD Vance, elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible!"Andrew Kolvet reiterated the organization's support for the vice president while urging people to stay focused on the present: "We're very happy for the here and now, so we're going to let the next year play out, but heading into 2028, we're excited to get behind him. And the machine that Charlie built and that's still in place at Turning Point is going to be all in for the vice president." Vice President JD Vance gave a speech on unity on the last day of the convention, refusing to condemn dissident voices despite loud demands within the conservative movement. Like Blaze News?

Herod promised moderation — and then he slaughtered the innocent

Everyone loves the three wise men at Christmas. Gold, frankincense, myrrh, the star, the long journey — these are the images we place on mantles and church bulletins. But almost no one pauses to consider the politics happening behind the scenes. Matthew’s Gospel is not merely a nativity story; it is a collision of kingdoms. At the center of that collision is a tyrant who sounds far more familiar to modern ears than we might like to admit.Herod is remembered for one thing: He murdered infants. That is the brutal fact we cannot ignore. But before he unsheathed the sword, Herod did something else — something more subtle, more political, and more recognizable.Just as Herod spoke the language of worship to mask his intentions, the Democrats speak the language of ‘common sense’ to mask theirs. He promised moderation. He promised cooperation. He promised unity.And he lied.“Go and search carefully for the Child,” Herod told the wise men, “and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.” It was a trap. A manipulative plea for compromise. A tyrant asking the righteous to meet him halfway.Herod never intended to worship Christ. He planned to kill Him. And that is where the story begins to sound painfully modern.False moderationHerod’s modern-day heirs still use the same script. Every election season brings a fresh wave of polished slogans: “Commonsense reproductive health care.” “Protecting basic rights.” “Defending freedom.” “Stopping extremism.”The tone is moderate. The goal is not.These same Democratic voices champion abortion through all nine months, fund the industry, defend it in court, and celebrate each victory that preserves the so-called right to end a child’s life. Behind the rhetoric of calm reason lies a fixed reality: Every restriction — no matter how small — is treated as an existential threat.President Donald Trump proved this. He rejected national restrictions, announced he would not sign a bill banning abortion, and embraced the state-by-state approach, even calling a heartbeat bill too restrictive. And the left still branded him a radical intent on a national ban and criminalizing abortion.The charge did not depend on his position. It depended on leftists' strategy. If the destruction of the innocent is nonnegotiable for them, then every effort to restrain it is labeled “extremism.” Herod does not distinguish between cautious men and bold ones. The illusion of safetyMany have assumed that careful posture protects influence. The evidence says otherwise. No matter how tempered the proposal, no matter how limited the step, no matter how deliberately “reasonable” the tone, the same accusations appear: “Outlawing women.” “Criminalizing health care.” “Taking away rights.” “Extreme.”The strategy is simple: Anything that restricts the regime’s power is given the same label. If the political cost is identical regardless of the position taken, then the logic of compromise collapses. Because what, precisely, is being purchased?If moderation brings no peace, if restraint brings no goodwill, if cautious measures earn the same condemnation as courageous ones, then moderation is not a shield. It is simply paying the price for a position you do not hold.Herod offered cooperation. The wise men showed respect. On the surface, it looked like stability, but when God revealed the truth, the wise men acted decisively: “Being warned in a dream ... they departed for their own country another way.” They did not return to negotiate. They did not report back with updated information. They simply refused to play the tyrant’s game. And that refusal protected the Christ-child. Their greatness was not in their gifts but in their clarity. When a ruler is committed to killing the innocent, cooperation is complicity.New actors, same scriptThe modern Democratic regime does not offer moderation. It claims moderation while rejecting every limit placed before it. RELATED: The hidden hope of Christmas the world needs right now Photo by: Godong/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesA heartbeat bill? Extreme. An ultrasound requirement? Extreme. Parental notification? Extreme. A 20-week ban? Extreme. Nothing is ever reasonable unless it preserves abortion without limits.Just as Herod spoke the language of worship to mask his intentions, the Democrats speak the language of “common sense” to mask theirs. The tone is polished, but the aim is unchanged: keep the machinery of death running while demanding that others surrender the moral clarity that might restrain it. Herod promised a partnership he never meant to honor. The Democrats promise moderation they never intend to practice.The question that returns every yearWe have no shortage of latter-day Herods. They still promise moderation, still demand cooperation. They still insist that if only convictions are tempered, peace will come.But Christmas testifies otherwise. Herod was never going to worship Christ.The Democrats who champion abortion are never going to tolerate restrictions. The accusations will fall on anyone who lifts a finger for the unborn, no matter how small the effort may be. If the cost is the same either way, then only one path honors God, protects life, and is politically wise: Let us refuse the tyrants by avoiding the negotiation altogether. If the weight of truly treating abortion as murder is inevitable, then let us play the wise man and embrace our convictions.

Glenn Beck’s AI Christmas song just humiliated every 'Happy Holidays' grinch in America

Glenn Beck has been one of the loudest and boldest voices in conservative media regarding the dangers of artificial intelligence. For three decades, he’s been warning that a day is coming when technology outpaces human control and reshapes society.As that day draws ever closer, Glenn has urged his audience to learn how to use AI — not as a source for critical thinking, not as a companion — but as a tool beholden to our command.Glenn has been modeling for his listeners what it looks like to use artificial intelligence well. On his radio program, he regularly shares how he employs AI for research, meal planning, budget optimization, brainstorming, and trend analysis, among other tasks. Bottom line: AI isn’t good or evil. It just amplifies whoever’s holding the reins.And this December, Glenn took that philosophy one joyful step further. While left-wing activists and institutions continue their annual push to secularize the holiday — replacing “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays,” banning songs that mention Jesus, and swapping Christmas parties for generic “winter celebrations” — Glenn gave AI a simple but profound task: Produce a song that boldly puts Christ back in Christmas.And it did not disappoint. The lyrics are as follows:Well, the season's here, and the lights are bright, but they tell me, I can't say Merry Christmas tonight.They want RamaHanuKwanzMas all in one breath.Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death. So grab some cocoa. Let's reclaim this place. It's the birthday of the baby. Yeah, remember who that is.So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas. No microaggression here. My friend, if words can break you, I'll bless your heart, because that's a battle we can't defend. Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas. Let common sense unfold. Out with the new, in with the old. Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.And hey baby, it's cold outside, relax. It's flirting, not a federal crime. We used to laugh and dance in snow. Now they fact-check mistletoe. They say intent don't matter. Well, sure it does, ask Santa. He's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas. You can keep your outrage warm. If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm. Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas. Not buying what they sold. Out with the new, in with the old. Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told. They say that greeting is oppressive. Well, bless my soul. Who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble, the problem ain't the phrase, it's you.I'll question with boldness. I'll reason with grace, but don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.So here's to the manger. The star in the sky. The angels who sang up that holy night. Here's to the story that still brings hopeEven when cultures lost the remote. Raise your voice, let the bells all ring. This season was always about one King.Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas. Let the real good news unfold. The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold. So I put the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old. Out with the new, in with the old. Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.So crank up the volume, hit play, and let this AI-born anthem remind the culture: Christmas isn’t canceled — Christ is, and will forever be, King.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

What are freedom cities, and when will you live in one?

Everywhere you look, it seems like there is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to plans for futuristic, dystopian systems of government. However, one such plan has already materialized and has caught the attention of some very powerful people: freedom cities.While it's too early to tell if freedom cities will be a dystopian nightmare or, in the more likely scenario, a merely fascinating innovation, what is clear is that many powerful people have been interested in the idea for years.'Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living.'First, what are freedom cities?Freedom cities are essentially deregulated economic zones designed to encourage innovation and technological development without (or with much less) cumbersome bureaucracy, rules, and taxes.RELATED: Biotech founder sliced open his own legs on camera to prove his product is safe for US troops Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesAccording to an article by Newsweek, the creation of a freedom city in the United States would require at least two states to demarcate land along their borders and to agree on taxation and policy.But why should we care about what is probably just a billionaire pipe dream to ease the billionaire tax burden?Well, one of the powerful people who is very interested in these cities is President Donald Trump.Freedom cities have been on President Trump's mind for nearly three years at least.In March 2023, then-former President Trump issued a video statement detailing several plans to revitalize American innovation.Past generations of Americans pursued big dreams and daring projects that once seemed absolutely impossible. They pushed across an unsettled continent and built new cities in the wild frontier. They transformed American life with the interstate highway system — magnificent, it was. And they launched a vast network of satellites into orbit all around the earth.But today our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way. If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable — how good it was, how great it was for our country.Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living. ... Here are just a few of the ways we can do it. Almost one-third of the land mass of the United States is owned by the federal government. With just a very, very small portion of that land, just a fraction, one-half of one percent — would you believe that? — we should hold a contest to charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.In other words, we'll actually build new cities in our country again. These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people — all hardworking families — a new shot at home ownership and in fact the American dream.While President Trump's plans have not yet been put into practice in the United States, the idea of a freedom city has already been put into practice in Honduras, for example.According to Newsweek, Pronomos Capital, a venture capital firm backed by tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, has helped push for the creation and development of Prospera ZEDE, a privately run economic zone on parts of Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras, and on the coast of La Ceiba, Honduras.According to the company's website, Próspera ZEDE (Zone of Economic Development and Employment) is "a startup zone with a regulatory system designed for entrepreneurs to build better, cheaper, and faster than anywhere else in the world."However, this economic zone in Honduras has seen its fair share of criticism from locals, pushback from the Honduran government, and legal challenges since its establishment.Think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute have also taken an interest in the creation of freedom cities in the United States. According to a March 2025 report produced by the AEI Housing Center, freedom cities "offer a dynamic framework for re-shoring critical industries, expanding housing affordability, and facilitating rapid progress in emerging fields such as biotechnology, aeronautics, and energy."The AEI even drafted a "homesteading map" showing the pockets of federal land in Western states that could potentially be used for freedom cities, forecasting that the development of freedom cities would take anywhere between 40 and 50 years.

'Why would somebody have such hate?' Churchgoers stunned at vandalism against Nativity display

Members of the Bethany Lutheran Church in Ashtabula, Ohio, said they were speechless to find that someone had vandalized their Nativity scene ahead of Christmas.The near life-size display was found scattered on the ground, and a church worker initially believed the wind had blown it down. However, they discovered evidence that it was intentionally vandalized.'All I know for sure is we need to pray for the person or persons who did that because God wants us to pray for their soul, and it’s going to be hard to do that, but that’s what we have to do.'"You could see the tire tracks coming in from the north, and we are 50 feet off the road," said Bob Oxley, who has put up the display for five years. "They came through one time, wiped it out, came through a second time, wiped it out again."He said there were three sets of tire tracks going through the location of the display, and on the third pass, the vandals destroyed the lighting that was set up."Life-sized characters. You could see they are driven in the ground with conduit to hold up to the wind. They came down, they went down through the whole length of it, and it’s probably 10, 20, 30, 40 feet long," he added.Church board member Jackie Featsent said she has worshipped at the church for most of her life and cannot understand what would motivate the vandalism."It’s just so sad that somebody would have such hate for something that is supposed to bring joy. Why would somebody have such hate to do something like that? I don’t understand, I can’t understand that," said Featsent.Oxley estimated that the damages added up to about $1,500 and said the display was unrepairable.RELATED: Church displays political Nativity scene with Jesus in zip ties and centurions as ICE agents "The last couple of years, it just seemed so much bigger and nicer," Featsent added. "Bob had it spread out, added some extra lighting. You could see it from the main drag another block over, but you could see it from there. It just stood out."The church filed a police report, and church members hope cameras will help catch the culprits responsible."All I know for sure is we need to pray for the person or persons who did that because God wants us to pray for their soul. And it’s going to be hard to do that, but that’s what we have to do," Featsent added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

'Can we kill him': 6th-grade girl group harassed 12-year-old before making death threats, Ohio family says

An Ohio family says that authorities did little to protect their 12-year-old son after they reported online harassment that included a death threat plot. The messages were allegedly made by other students from Madison Local Schools in Butler County, according to the victim's aunt, Courtney Sorrell.'We didn't want this to blow up, but we want the kids to know you can't make these threats and bully someone or say these things and not be held accountable.'Sorrell said the harassment began after a breakup, which led to the girl group targeting her nephew."Her and her friends were targeting my nephew individually at first," Sorrell said to WKRC-TV. "Just calling, texting, FaceTiming, and harassing him to the point he would block one person's number, and then they would reach out from another number. They would say disgusting things like how he's hated and he needs to just go kill himself."The girls allegedly added him to a group chat where they discussed their alleged plan to kill him. Some of the messages were included in a Butler County Sheriff's Office report. "Can we kill him," one message read.Another read, "Yas we will kill him tomorrow," and, "Who has weapons that we can bring to school."Others said they could bring a pocketknife, baseball bats, and a gun.Screenshots of the group chat showed 13 participants.The kids who participated in the chat were suspended for 10 days, but the family is upset that the district didn't appear to take the threat seriously. Sorrell said the family went to the media because they felt the district wasn't doing enough.In response, the school district released a statement."We are aware of social media posts regarding a potential threat toward Madison today," the statement reads. "The district is actively addressing the situation and has taken appropriate steps to ensure the safety of our students and employees. We appreciate your cooperation and support as we prioritize the well-being of our school community."RELATED: 'Just end him': 5th-grade girls allegedly plotted to stab boy to death at school and make it look like a suicide Sorrell says the family wants greater accountability at the district and far more transparency. They also want the children who made the threats to face more stringent punishments."Why don't you call the cops? Why don't you go to the school? Well, we tried that at the beginning,” Sorrell continued."We didn't want to come to social media," she added. "We didn't want this to blow up, but we want the kids to know you can't make these threats and bully someone or say these things and not be held accountable."Like Blaze News?

Riley Gaines: Why Americans are FINALLY pushing back on gender ideology

Women’s sports, children’s innocence, and biological reality are at the center of America’s cultural struggle — but Riley Gaines tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey at AmFest that the tide is finally turning.However, it took some serious struggle on Gaines’ part before she began to see a change. “It was really hard to read some of the things that are being said about you. I mean, bear in mind, I’m a 21-year-old college student who merely just wanted to compete fairly, right? Seems like the bare minimum,” Gaines recalls.“For saying the things that I said, such as ‘there are two sexes’ and ‘you can’t change your sex’ and ‘each sex is deserving of equal opportunity of privacy and of safety’ — for saying that, you’re vilified,” she explains.While at the time, Gaines was hurt by the negative response, which included being called names like “racist” and “misogynist,” it’s now “water off the duck’s back.”“I put all of the confidence and the security that I have in the fact that I’m fighting for the hope and the promise of eternal life. And once you do that, it shifts your perspective to understand that nothing of this world matters,” Gaines says.Because of the courage of women like Gaines, Stuckey feels that the “tide is turning in a really good way when it comes to female sports.”“You’re really in the thick of it,” Stuckey says. “Like, you see the activist attacks. You’re seeing what’s really going on on college campuses. Do you feel like the tide is turning?”“110%,” Gaines answers. “You compare now to even a year ago, it’s very different. I think we’re seeing more people with the willingness and the boldness to say that men can’t become women. Men can’t get pregnant. Women don’t need prostate exams. Tampons don’t belong in boys' bathrooms.”“Obviously, it sounds pretty cliche, but I do believe courage begets courage. And so when you have people like yourself, or you have President Trump in the Oval Office, that gives the people a lot of cover, right?” she continues.“They see him doing it or you doing it, and they think, I can do that,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

'Obvious f**king failure': Even Hunter Biden admits dad’s Afghanistan exit was a total disaster

Hunter Biden criticized his father, former President Joe Biden, and his administration for the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and he detailed his thoughts on the country's immigration problem.During an interview on the "Shawn Ryan Show" released Monday, Hunter Biden stated that he believes politicians on both sides of the aisle want to find a solution to immigration.'I think there was a better way to do it.'Podcast host Shawn Ryan and Hunter Biden discussed how foreign nationals have been receiving abundant resources on the American taxpayer's dime, including free hotel rooms."We need immigration. We need a vibrant immigration, but we don't want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources," Biden told Ryan.Ryan expressed concerns that more resources are being allocated to foreign nationals, while American veterans continue to struggle to obtain the necessary support.Hunter Biden stated that he does not want immigrants prioritized over U.S. troops or other Americans.RELATED: 'I'm going to get myself in trouble': Hunter Biden urges Democrats to race to 'the bottom faster' after Kirk's assassination Hunter Biden.

Biden stated that he believes it was necessary to leave Afghanistan but criticized the execution of the withdrawal."I think one of the failures was the way in which they executed the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think it was an obvious f**king failure. I think 13 Marines are dead. I think that there was a better way to do it," Hunter Biden said."And I can blame it on his generals. I can blame it on the people, the way in which we did it. But my dad always knew this also, is that the buck stops with him," he continued.

Former MLB All-Star calls out Disney Cruise Line for having a 'man dressed as woman'

A nine-year MLB veteran is taking issue with apparent cross-dressing on a Disney Cruise ship. Ender Inciarte won three gold gloves with the Atlanta Braves while appearing in one MLB All-Star Game before retiring in 2022. 'I don't think it's hate i just don't want to normalize that behavior.'Now, Inciarte is calling out Disney Cruise Line for apparently having a man dressed a woman speaking to kids."Hey [Disney Cruise Line] love your cruises!" Inciarte wrote on X. "Except for the part that there are man dressed as woman ... thought you already got over it."This immediately drew backlash from some readers, including one man who called Inciarte a "little fragile guy" who "gets upset easily while other people live their lives peacefully without bothering anyone."The 5-foot-11-inch outfielder replied, according to an X translation, "It wasn't hatred or a personal attack. It was an opinion based on my convictions. I believe in respecting everyone, but also in calling things by their name without mockery or contempt. Living in peace doesn't mean silencing one's conscience. Take care, champion!"RELATED: Family 'sick' after apparently discovering transvestite doing little girl's hair and makeup at Disney boutique — (@) A Tampa Bay baseball fan rudely asked the former player, "Have you considered going to Hell, Ender?""No. I've been saved from that thanks to Jesus!" Inciarte enthusiastically stated in response.While it is unclear if Inciarte was drawing from a personal experience or a video he saw online, he explained his reasoning when replying to a reader who said his kids would be traumatized seeing "dudes dressed as women."The Venezuelan explained, "Where is my hate? All i am saying is having my kid enter a place where a 6ft tall guy is dressed as a woman and acting like one would traumatize my kid on a family cruise."He added, "I don't think it's hate i just don't want to normalize that behavior."RELATED: Disney did something it hasn't done in nearly 30 years — it will delight Christian parents and drive liberals crazy Photo by George Rose/Getty Images While Disney has not responded to inquiries from outlets like Fox News Digital to confirm the allegations, this would not be the first time a transgender person or cross-dresser was spotted at a Disney business dealing with children.In 2024, a family chronicled a transvestite cutting children's hair and applying makeup at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World.At Disneyland in 2023, the same boutique had a man dressed as a woman working in front of the store to welcome guests and schedule young children for their makeovers.Like Blaze News?
