Lines snaked several blocks before sunrise Sunday, when temperatures were expected to near 100F (37.8C) by the afternoon. Inside the stadium, seats began to fill hours before the official program was due to begin. Supporters were already in tears as they listened to a Christian rock group that performed on stage in advance of the official program.
Jeffrey Barke, a physician with a large online following, went to the stadium with a group of friends from Orange county, California, on what he called a “pilgrimage of sorts” to honor Kirk’s life and legacy. He pledged to use own platform to aid in spreading “Charlie’s message”.
Christina Sawick, wearing a “Trump was right about everything” hat, said she had been watching and listening to Kirk since 2016. On Sunday, she left her home in Mesa at 3am to attend his memorial service.

She said she appreciated Kirk’s willingness to debate anyone regardless of their politics or background. “He didn’t sugarcoat anything,” she said. “He just wanted to be heard and he wanted everybody to be heard.”
Thousands were gathering in Arizona for a public memorial to honor Charlie Kirk, the rightwing youth organizer who was fatally shot during an event at a Utah college.
Donald Trump, his vice-president, JD Vance, and Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, were among a long list of prominent officials and figures expected to pay tribute to the slain activist, a reflection of his deep imprint on the president’s Make America Great Again (Maga) movement.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that it will withhold $40.6 million in federal funding from California, citing the state’s failure to fully enforce a rule requiring commercial truck drivers to demonstrate English proficiency. According to federal law, truck drivers must be able to read road signs, respond to official inquiries, and complete paperwork in English. The DOT argues that California’s existing licensing system does not adequately ensure that all drivers meet these requirements. In response, California officials assert that their system already complies with federal standards. This penalty affects California’s ability to receive reimbursements for truck safety programs, including inspections and enforcement activities, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.
Newsom Defies Federal Law: California Risks $160 Million in Federal Funds Over Trucking Licenses California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a showdown with federal authorities after the state DMV unilaterally extended the deadline for revoking 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses held by foreign nationals. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted the extension as illegal, warning that if California doesn’t revoke the licenses by January 5, it could lose nearly $160 million in vital federal highway funds. As Newsom continues to push policies that defy federal laws, Californians may soon pay the price, with federal funds at risk and public safety concerns growing. This is just another example of Newsom’s reckless governance putting the state in jeopardy.

“WORLD STUNNED: President Trump Declares ‘Peace on Earth’ as Official New Year’s Resolution—Insiders Claim Secret Global Ceasefire Talks, Military Stand-Down Orders, and a Radical ‘America First, World Peace Always’ Doctrine Are Already Underway”
President Trump’s proposal to revoke green cards and visas of Hamas supporters directly targets foreign nationals who fund or promote terrorist activities against the United States and its allies. Allowing such individuals to remain in the country poses a serious threat to national security, public safety, and American families. Deporting them reinforces that the U.S. will not tolerate support for violent extremist organizations on its soil. Do you support this?
