“Forrest Frank has lost nearly 30,000 of his millions of Instagram followers since sharing his views on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but the Christian singer isn’t bothered by it. Last week, Frank took to Instagram and shared a video of Kirk speaking about him and praising him for creating Christian music. Frank became emotional in the video and started to cry while explaining that he didn’t feel comfortable continuing on and posting his music without first addressing the conservative activist’s assassination. Frank’s video garnered over 1 million likes and nearly 20,000 comments before he shared another video on Sept. 14 to say that he lost tens of thousands of followers for speaking out about the tragic events that took place at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.” (09/16/25)

“Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier declared state residents are free to openly carry guns statewide after an appeals court decision that struck down Florida’s nearly 40-year-old ban.

Ron DeSantis who is running for the post in 2026, sent out a ‘guidance’ memo Monday to law enforcement agencies and local prosecutors asserting the 1st District Court of Appeal ruling is in effect statewide. ‘Meaning that of last week, open carry is the law of the state,’ Uthmeier wrote on his official X account in a post that included the memo.” [editor’s note: Per the Second Amendment, it’s been “the law of the state” since Florida became a US state in 1845; the legislature was just in rebellion against the US Constitution with its fake “law” to the contrary – TLK] (09/15/25)

“Thousands rallied across Slovakia on Tuesday in a nationwide mass protest against the economic and pro-Russian policies of populist Prime Minister Robert Fico. The rallies took place in 16 major cities and towns, including the capital of Bratislava.

The government says the measures are necessary to cut a budget deficit that at 5.3% of GDP was the second highest last year among the countries using the common European currency, the euro. The deficit is expected to surpass 5% this year, exceeding the limit of 3% required by the European Union.” (09/16/25)
