The impact of the life of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, dead at 31 from an assassin's bullet at a free speech event at a Utah college, almost certainly will surge over the coming years. What is fact is that there have been not just thousands, but tens of thousands of requests to launch local chapters of his organization already.

But for one Hollywood star, it was the words of his widow, Erika Kirk, that impacted.

Tim Allen, star of a long list of movies and television programs, wrote, "When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: 'That man … that young man … I forgive him.' That moment affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: 'I forgive the man who killed my father.'"

Allen added, "Peace be with you all."

Fox News reported the actor, who has voiced characters for Toy Story movies, starred in the Santa Clause series, the Shaggy Dog, was "Tim the Toolman Taylor" in Home Improvement and many more about which cult followings have developed, lost his father, Dick, a real estate agent, when a drunk driver's vehicle collided with his car when Allen was 11.

President Trump has made good on his plan to send U.S. military troops to Portland, Oregon, a city that has had more than its share of violent protests at the hand of Antifa and other left-wing agitators.

Trump posted the news on his Truth Social account Saturday, emphasizing the he's "authorizing Full Force, if necessary" to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Oregon's largest city.

Posted Trump: "At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Planned Parenthood, America's abortion industry giant, already is contending with what some have called an existential threat to its future because Congress adopted a law withholding federal Medicaid funds – hundreds of millions of dollars a year – from the abortionists.

Planned Parenthood actually went to court over that law, claiming it now has a constitutional right to be paid taxpayer money.

It has complained that it will have to shut down some of its abortion business locations if it doesn't take tax money to keep them open.

But there's also another threat, and this one, in the race to be an "existential threat," is far and away ahead.

According to a report in the National Catholic Register a court case accuses Planned Parenthood of taking hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers that it was not allowed to take.

It was an anonymous activist, and the state of Texas, that brought the claim the abortionists improperly took money from Medicaid.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Thursday in the case, which is titled Doe v. Planned Parenthood, and a decision could come soon.

"When Planned Parenthood was exposed for selling fetal tissue and organs, Louisiana and Texas quickly moved to revoke the organization's Medicaid eligibility. Court orders delayed the revocation. As the courts debated Planned Parenthood's eligibility, the group continued to make Medicaid reimbursement claims despite the uncertain status until 2020, when the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the states," the report documented.

The lawsuit, from 2021, comes under the False Claims Act which requires "any person who knowingly submits, or causes to submit, false claims to the government is liable for three times the government's damages plus a penalty that is linked to inflation."

Jennie Bradley Lichter, chief of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, told the publication that taking money from the government "while ineligible" must be "repaid in full."

Planned Parenthood lawyer Susan Baker Manning said there's no grounds for the abortionists to worry.

"This case has one goal: to shut down Planned Parenthood and deny patients access to sexual and reproductive health care," she said.

The problem, however, is that, according to Katie Glenn Daniel of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, "The whistleblower in this case, Doe, is suing on behalf of the people to recover taxpayer dollars Planned Parenthood had no right to take and still has not voluntarily paid back, plus fees and interest."

She said Planned Parenthood for years after being disqualified continued billing Medicaid in Texas and Louisiana and taking the cash.

The Hill reported, "Planned Parenthood's access to tax dollars has also been limited by the Supreme Court ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which upheld states' authority to decide whether abortion providers qualify for Medicaid reimbursements.

"Against this backdrop, the under-the-radar case of U.S. ex rel. Doe v. Planned Parenthood represents an existential threat to Planned Parenthood. Now, Planned Parenthood could be on the hook for treble damages, civil penalties, interest and legal fees, pushing its total potential liability in the pending case past $1.8 billion — a financial catastrophe for the abortion giant.

It actually could "hasten its end."

In what undoubtedly will shake the foundations of the Democrats' power structure in America and worry a lot of leftists who participated in the weaponization of the government against President Trump during his first term, a grand jury has indicted ex-FBI chief James Comey.

Comey, who recently promoted the "86-47" messaging presumed to mean "86" or destroy "47," with Trump being the 47th president, was indicted on two counts – one count of lying and one count of obstruction of justice.

He already has been complaining how Trump has weaponized the government against his opponents, such as Comey. But Comey's comments come in the aftermath of his participation, and the participation of multiple Democrat power figures, in the fraudulent "Russiagate" conspiracy theory that was assembled to try to keep Trump from being elected, or then to destroy him during his first term.

A judge has thrown out a lawsuit by Peter Strzok, the ex-FBI agent to openly conspired with an FBI lawyer about how to stop Donald Trump from being president at his first election, and who already negotiated a $1 million plus payout from the FBI for his dismissal, has lost his latest legal fight.

A federal judge has dismissed his claim that his First Amendment rights were violated when he was fired during the first Trump administration.

A report at the Gateway Pundit said, "U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, said Peter Strzok did not show his firing violated his First Amendment rights."

Kamala Harris has gone wild with her claim that President Donald Trump is a communist dictator.

A report at the Gateway Pundit called it "weird" that she forgot to mention that her own father was a "Marxist economist."

Harris, who was anointed by Democrat party elites to be their nominee in 2024 after Joe Biden pulled out of the race, eventually lost a landslide, with Trump victorious in the Electoral College, the popular vote and in all of the nation's swing states.

She said, "A tyrant. We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with now with Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up."

Said the Gateway Pundit, "The crazy lady who can't string two sentences together is making the rounds this week to promote her new book. During her MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow, Kamala compared President Donald Trump, the most important free-market capitalist in the world today, to a communist dictator."

It continued, "It is stunning that she accused Trump of being the communist – coming from today's openly Marxist Democrat Party with leaders like AOC and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani who is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America party."

Harris' own promotion of her book:

And her comments triggered a response:

As well as a pointed note that she is supporting "Zohran Mamdani, a communist."

She further confirmed the Democrat party's homophobia, admitting that she couldn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her vice presidential nominee because he's homosexual.

Commenters also challenged her accuracy in her assessment of her catastrophic loss, a loss from which the Democrat party still is flailing, to President Trump.

A California abortion business has found a way to circumvent the Supreme Court's constitutional rights precedents and has obtained a ruling from a radical judge that terminates two rights protected by the Constitution for a pro-life advocate.

And the American Center for Law and Justice said it is joining the fight on behalf of Chad Hunt, who is represented by the Life Legal Defense Foundation, by filing a friend-of-the-court brief in his case.

The focal point is that the trial court simply refused to use the precedents that already exist for First Amendment protections.

The case is Women's Health Specialists (WHS) v. C.H. and many parts of the case are familiar already.

"The plaintiff WHS is an abortion facility, i.e., a place that kills babies for money before they are born. The defendant, Chad Hunt, is a pro-lifer who opposes such killing. WHS has 'escorts' whose job is to disrupt pro-life advocates who are reaching out to abortion 'customers' with life-giving alternatives. One of those escorts accused Chad of bumping her three times with his stomach when she tried to interfere with other pro-life counselors outside the abortion clinic," the ACLJ explained.

While such claims routinely would involve a police citation or a civil suit, the abortion business went another direction.

"Instead, it filed for a 'Workplace Violence Restraining Order' (WVRO). That is, WHS argued that their escort was at work, that Chad's alleged bumping of her constituted 'violence,' and, therefore, a WVRO should be issued," the ACLJ said.

"Sadly, the California superior court bought WHS's arguments — and did not apply the Supreme Court standards for protecting free speech rights. In effect, the superior court let WHS use the WVRO as an end-run around the First Amendment. And the result was an order that banished Chad 100 yards from WHS, forbade all contact with the escort of any kind, and — to add injury to injury — barred Chad from owning or possessing any firearms, even at home for his own self-defense."

The ACLJ noted that the court provided that the banishment of constitutional rights lasts for three years, "and can be renewed."

"Not only is the court violating his First Amendment rights, but it's using that violation to justify violating his Second Amendment rights as well – a two-for-one evisceration of his rights. Free speech rights limit what a court can do to stifle your expressive freedom. Such rights do not evaporate just because a litigant pulls a different legal tool out of the toolbox," the legal team explained.

The organization argues, "Many Left-leaning states stand ready to crush pro-life advocates if they dare speak out for the unborn – even if that means censoring or suspending the constitutional rights of advocates. We have previously written of our recent efforts in Maine, Illinois, and Ohio to defend advocates targeted by government officials. California appears ready to simply erase freedom of speech and the Second Amendment rights of a pro-life advocate."

Hunt has appealed the egregious ruling, with the Life Legal Defense representing him, and the ACLJ is filing an additional briefing for the court.

"WVROs are supposed to protect employees from creepy or hostile colleagues or supervisors, not provide an excuse to stifle public free speech rights," the ACLJ said.

President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened the Venezuelan government that it must accept the return of all prisoners the country forced into the United States, or else "the price you pay will be incalculable."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan 'Leadership' has forced into the United States of America.

"Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these 'Monsters.'

Trump concluded: "GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!"

The warning comes on the heels of a series of U.S. military attacks against drug-running boats from Venezuela carrying illicit substances to America, as Trump told the Venezuelan narcoterrorists that they were being hunted.

"These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests," Trump said of a strike on Sept. 15.

"BE WARNED – IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!

"The illicit activities by these cartels have wrought DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, killing millions of American Citizens. NO LONGER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!"

A cryptic post by California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office had the interet a buzz Saturday.

The post reads, "Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today.

"You're welcome, America."

Noem, of course, is secreatary of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Trump administration agreed that Team Newsom's tweet looked like a threat. As The Gateway Pundit reports, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin slammed Newsom for hiding behind a keyboard to "threaten" Noem.

"This reads like a threat," McLaughlin wrote. "This is ugly, @GavinNewsom."

"Your keyboard warrior team may hide behind their laptops and spew this kind of vitriol but you would never have the guts to say this to her face," she added.

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli was next to respond, saying the alleged threat has now been referred to the Secret Service.

One X user posted: "A week after the most consequential political assassination since Kennedy, Newsom is threatening Kristi Noem. Any democrat saying the Right needs to 'turn down the temperature' is a liar and complicit."

Newsweek reports that Newsom signed five bills Saturday meant to protect immigrants, legal or otherwise.

A special visa program, the H-1B program that allows companies to hire foreign workers to replace Americans in those same duties at much lower salaries, is facing a bombshell from President Donald Trump.

He plans to impose a $100,000 fee on all such visa applications.

The program was created on the idea that there were not enough American workers with specific tech skills to fill the jobs that were open.
