I wonder who is paying her to defend this losing case. Soros money?

There's no question who is paying for this defense attorney. It's Utah County, with additional infusion of needed cash by the State of Utah. They hired a competent criminal defense practitioner because they wouldn't want a loser, cheapo defense attorney to screw up Robinson's defense and grant him multiple future appeal arguments based upon incompetent counsel. No one wants an appeals court to order a new trial after this one's over. It's common in high-profile murder cases for the government to hire better defense attorneys than the public defenders who represent misdemeanants and small-time felons on a contractual basis with local governments. Forty to sixty years ago, the SCOTUS mandated that indigents were entitled to relatively competent defense attorneys hired by the state or appointed by the relevant courts.

I do not want to be cruel but I really think those who murder should be murdered the same way they did it to the victim. When he is found guilty, as he walks back to the cell, someone should do to him what he did to Charlie. I really think people would STOP killing if the same was done to them. I know this sounds awful but why should THEY receive grace when they gave none to their victims. Same w this Mangione guy. When he is found guilty on the way back to his cell someone should shoot him in the back. Just like he did to the CEO. If criminals knew this would be the result they would stop behaving this way. I am not being unkind but I want to stop future victims.

Totally agree, #7, I've been saying the same for decades. My fear is that Charlie Kirk's murderer, looking for mercy, will claim that Erika Kirk's forginess made him find Jesus Christ and we'll end up with 23 years of appeals

Her job is to prevent him from being sentenced to the death penalty. His guilt is a foregone conclusion. Look for a plea deal after a battery of psychological tests.

#7 & #8, I soooo wish that would work but unfortunately these monsters don't have normal thought-processes. The idea of getting shot in the neck would terrify most of us and cause us to reconsider committing dastardly deeds. But it likely wouldn't even phase a murderer with an extremely distorted perception of reality and no understanding that his actions have consequences.

Sara Jane Moore, Who Tried To Kill President
Ford, Dies In Franklin At 95

Sara Jane Moore, the would-be assassin of President Gerald Ford, died Wednesday at a nursing facility in Franklin. She was 95. Moore’s death came two days after the 50th anniversary of her attempt to kill Ford outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco in 1975. Her actions followed Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme’s attempt to assassinate Ford just 17 days earlier in Sacramento. The two events were unconnected. Moore was sentenced to life in prison. She attempted to escape in 1979, but was captured after a few hours. She was released on parole in 2007.

Hillary Clinton hit out at white Christian men just two weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination. The former first lady found fault with Christian conservatism during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe Wednesday, saying she disapproved of the ideology because it promotes division. The movement has picked up momentum thanks to people like Kirk, whose evangelical faith shaped his politics. He was killed earlier this month while speaking at a college campus in southern Utah.

New Social Media Trend: Pregnant Leftists

In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

Federal agents executing a search warrant at the downtown office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton in late August seized a cache of documents marked as classified, according to court documents. The office mission was the second such search conducted by the FBI following an early-morning raid at Bolton's home. The application for the warrant at his office, according to the filing, was to search for "evidence of a crime" and to locate potential "contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed."

A registered Democrat mother in New Jersey is going viral after posting a TikTok video admitting she had her political “turning point” the day her 11-year-old daughter came home from school saying she hated Charlie Kirk—without even knowing who he was.[snip] Kryssa revealed she never spoke about Kirk in her household, nor had her daughter seen his videos. The hate, she realized, was planted elsewhere, inside the classroom. Her daughter, a sixth-grader, is surrounded by classmates who regularly bash Trump supporters, and Kryssa admitted that peer pressure already made her daughter feel uncomfortable that her mother supports President Trump.

The more we learn about Democrat Mikie Sherrill, current Member of Congress and candidate to be New Jersey's next governor, the more she looks like your average, scandal-plagued DC swamp rat. We reported earlier on her Nancy Pelosi-esque ability to leverage her congressional tenure into remarkable stock market gains, and now we're learning that Sherrill has a scandal-ridden record going back to her days at the United States Naval Academy. Here's what went down. Back in December of 1992, two dozen of Sherrill's fellow midshipmen were expelled from the Naval Academy after it was discovered they had obtained and shared the answers to an electrical engineering exam.

The California Legislature passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom eagerly signed, a bill that forbids law enforcement officers from concealing their identities with masks. The law applies to local as well as federal officers, but it’s clearly intended to make it easier to dox federal immigration agents. Of course the administration says it will ignore the law. So what happens when local and state officers try to enforce it? A war? California also forbids federal agents from enforcing immigration law in state courthouses.

Changing clocks twice a year could be putting 300,000 Americans at risk of a potentially fatal stroke each year. A new study, conducted by Stanford Medicine researchers, found that switching between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and Standard Time (SDT) disrupted the body's internal clock by forcing it to adjust too often to changes in light and darkness. [Snip] The next change is set for November 2, 2025, at 2am in each time zone. [Snip] While simulating what would happen the US decided to make SDT permanent after 'falling back' in November, estimates showed the change could prevent about 300,000 stroke cases annually by reducing this circadian strain.

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten has written Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy, a book she claims will empower us and give us hope.

In an interview with a sycophant at The Progressive, a far-left magazine that covers politics and culture, Weingarten claims that “the undermining of public education is an intentional strategy of the right; they favor school privatization.” Wrong.
