Idaho High School Cheer Coach Fired for Posting Video Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination

Annika Rutz, an assistant cheer coach at Meridian High School in Meridian, Idaho, has been fired for posting a video celebrating the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Rutz was fired from the West Ada School District after declaring in a Snapchat video, “You fucking got what you fucking deserve. I just saw the fucking video, it looks like you got shot in the neck or chest,” in reference to Kirk, according to a report by KIVI.

In the video, Rutz went on to rant, “I’m not saying I wish death upon someone, but that’s what I’m fucking saying for this motherfucker, piece of fucking shit, I hope he’s dead.”

“Is that going to get me arrested?” Rutz adds, appearing to second-guess her remarks, before blatantly sarcastically adding, “I hope he’s not dead, ohh ohh, pray for Charlie Kirk, ohh ohh.”

“And he’s a huge advocate for gun rights, if that isn’t irony, I don’t know what is,” Rutz continues, before concluding her video by exclaiming, “Today’s a good day! Today’s a good day!”

In what appears to be follow-up post to Snapchat, the now-former Idaho high school employee shared a photo of her face with her hand over her mouth, writing, “Confirmed: he’s dead.” Click here to read more.

 

Do the Feds Really Need to Own One-Third of All Land in America?

The federal government owns about one-third of America.

Since we’re on a path to bankruptcy, it would be smart to sell some unused property.

President Donald Trump’s interior secretary says it may be worth as much as $200 trillion. Selling just a fraction of it would reduce our enormous debt.

Not just that: Since government doesn’t manage things well, selling or leasing some would leave it in better condition.

Federal bureaucrats have been slow to do controlled burns and remove deadwood that becomes fuel for wildfires.

“Fires on federal lands accounted for more than half of the acres burned,” says the Congressional Budget Office.

But whenever a politician suggests selling any land, environmental activists freak out. Click here to read more.

 

Liberal Foundations Spent Millions To Shape the 'Soft-on-Crime' Policies Now Blamed for Freeing Career Criminal Who Brutally Murdered Ukrainian Refugee

Two left-wing foundations, the MacArthur Foundation and Arnold Ventures, spent millions pushing criminal justice reform policies in Charlotte, North Carolina, that are now being blamed for career criminal Decarlos Brown walking the streets in Charlotte, where he brutally murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the city's transit system.

Brown, who fatally stabbed Zarutska on Aug. 22, had 14 prior arrests including an armed robbery that landed him five years in prison, and was released without bond or monitoring in a criminal case earlier this year. Lawmakers, the Trump administration, and even Brown's relatives have blamed the soft-on-crime policies embraced by Mecklenburg County court system, which oversees Charlotte.

Trump demands COVID vaccine data, calls for transparency from Pfizer

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is demanding that drug companies, including Pfizer, publicly release data to justify the success of their COVID-19 vaccines.

In a Truth Social post, Trump demanded transparency from companies, including Pfizer, regarding their work during “Operation Warp Speed,” the government initiative launched to accelerate the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

“I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public,” Trump wrote. “Why not???”

The president pointed to how Pfizer and other drug companies “go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work.” Click here to read more.

 

Lansing spends $1.4 million on tiny homes for homeless — that aren’t approved for winter use!

The city of Lansing is spending $640,000 on micro-housing units for homeless residents who won’t be able to use them when they need them most.

In August, city officials agreed to purchase 50 ModPods modular housing units for $640,000 from a nonprofit in Kalamazoo. The nonprofit had shelved plans to use them in that community after struggling to find a location, Bridge Michigan reports.

The pods, initially purchased for $1 million, are expected to cost another $750,000 a year to maintain, bringing the total cost for the first year to about $1.4 million, or $28,000 per 8-by-8-foot unit.

However, city officials told the media that the pods are not authorized for winter use and will likely not be available until June 2026.

“I think there’s utility in it.… It really depends on what the goal of the system is,” Nick Cook, director of public policy for the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, told Bridge. “In and of itself, it’s just another tool in the tool bag for communities to deal with the homeless and unhoused populations.” Click here to read more.

Michigan High School Students depicts Charlie Kirk murder during school
School district is investigating

LIVONIA, Mich. — Livonia Public Schools says administrators at Churchill High School took action after becoming aware of a student’s reported depiction of the killing of Charlie Kirk.

According to information provided to Keeping it Real, a student reportedly arrived at Churchill High School dressed to depict Kirk being killed, including what appeared to be fake blood running down the student’s neck.

The incident raised questions about how the school responded and whether the depiction violated district policies.

A photograph of the student in the costume was subsequently posted to a non- affiliated

Churchill Instagram account, with the song “We Are Charlie Kirk.”

I have obtained a copy of the photo, but due to its disturbing nature, I have chosen not to publish it.

Keeping it Real contacted school officials seeking an explanation of what happened and how administrators handled the situation.

Stacy Jenkins, administrator of district communications, said Churchill High School officials learned about the situation at the beginning of the school day and acted quickly.

 

“Churchill High School administration was made aware of the situation at the start of the school day and swiftly addressed it with the student involved,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins acknowledged that the depiction was inappropriate.

“While we cannot prevent every poor choice a student may make, we can ensure that inappropriate behavior is addressed when our administration becomes aware — that is exactly what occurred in this situation,” Jenkins said. “The depiction was inappropriate and did not align with our expectations for student behavior.”

The district’s response does not specify what action was taken involving the student or whether disciplinary measures were imposed.

The incident comes amid heightened concerns about how schools handle depictions or references to real-world political violence, particularly when they involve students.

Michigan pays out smaller portion of pothole damage claims

Michigan drivers who traverse state highways often incur vehicle damage from potholes. Many of Michigan’s roads tend to be riddled with potholes that blow out tires, crack windshields and break suspensions.

Some drivers seek state compensation, but only about 12% of those people received it last year, according to a document that Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained via a records request.

Michigan paid 10 out of 86 claims for pothole-related damages in 2025, totaling $4,844, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Those 10 people who received compensation from the state claimed damages caused by potholes on I-75, I-96, US-12, M-77, M-89, Saginaw Street, Plymouth Road, and Fort Street. Click here to read more.


 

Trump Asks SCOTUS to Permit Voter Verification System Ahead of Midterms

On Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer wrote to SCOTUS asking the justices to stay an order from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by former President Joe Biden.

In June, Sooknanan issued an order preventing the government from using an updated Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The updates greatly streamlined the process for states to purge voter rolls of ineligible voters.

According to Sauer, Sooknanan’s order is “indefensible” and “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government’s authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes.”

“The order will irreparably harm the federal government, the States, and the public by depriving the government of an effective tool to verify the eligibility of registered voters and benefits applicants under various state and federal programs,” Sauer writes to SCOTUS. Click here to read more.

Florida blocks 10 CDL training schools after federal regulators remove them from registry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida education officials are blocking 10 commercial driver training schools from recruiting new students or collecting tuition after federal regulators removed the providers from a national registry as part of a crackdown on commercial driver training.

The Florida Department of Education announced Tuesday that it is taking action against the 10 schools following their removal from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Training Provider Registry.

Through the Commission for Independent Education, the state ordered affected licensed programs to immediately stop advertising, recruiting, enrolling new students and collecting tuition while their federal removal remains in effect.

The schools must also identify students who have been affected, provide refunds where required and report to the state on corrective actions and communications with federal regulators. Click here to read more.
