Tyler Robinson's Defense Team Just Threw Candace Owens Under the Bus
As Tyler Robinson's defense team prepares for a ruling on whether or not their client will face trial for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they've now been reduced to pushing back against the online conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens who claim that Robinson was not Kirk's alleged killer.
A couple of weeks ago, the defense filed a motion arguing the case shouldn't qualify for the death penalty because Robinson didn't intend to hurt anyone other than Kirk. Absent from that motion were any of the arguments and so-called evidence laid out by Owens and the rest.
Now another transcript from the court, the Robinson defense team is distancing itself from the "crazies."

Polish Far-Right Lawmaker Charged With Denying Nazi Crimes Over Auschwitz Gas Chamber Claims.
By Ailin Vilches Arguello. August 27, 2026.
Polish authorities have charged lawmaker Grzegorz Braun, a far-right politician notorious for his repeated antisemitic statements and outspoken criticism of Israel, with denying Nazi crimes after he called the gas chambers at Auschwitz “fake,” in the latest incident to thrust his inflammatory rhetoric back into the spotlight.
On Tuesday, prosecutor Robert Janicki confirmed that Braun, who heads the Confederation of the Polish Crown party, had been charged with publicly denying, “contrary to the facts,” the genocide committed by Nazi Germany at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Under Polish law, publicly denying Nazi crimes is a criminal offense punishable by a fine or up to three years in prison

Four Men Plead Guilty to Arson Attack on Jewish Ambulances in London.
By Reuters and Algemeiner Staff. August 28, 2026.
Four young British men on Friday admitted to an arson attack on community ambulances in London, the first of a spate of incidents targeting the capital’s Jewish community this year.
The four ambulances belonging to Jewish volunteer emergency service Hatzola were set ablaze on March 23 while they were parked near a synagogue.
In other attacks in April and May, a synagogue and a former synagogue were targeted, as was Persian-language media organization Iran International and a memorial wall dedicated to people killed in Iran.
British police said at the time that they were investigating possible Iranian links to those arson attacks, with pro-Iranian group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI) claiming responsibility for the ambulance attack and some others.
The SITE Intelligence website has said HAYI had been behind similar fires in Europe.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, 18, and Saif Ali, 18, appeared at London’s Old Bailey court on Friday and pleaded guilty to destroying or damaging the Hatzola ambulances and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

Israel-Lebanon Deal Under Strain as Hezbollah Disarmament Falls Short.
By Ailin Vilches Arguello. August 28, 2026.
Two months after Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered memorandum of understanding, frustration is mounting in Jerusalem as the Lebanese army falls short of its pledge to dismantle Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in the country’s south — threatening to stall the fragile agreement before the two sides can move to the next stage of negotiations.
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), an Israel-based research institute, released a new report on Friday warning that the pilot program in southern Lebanon has failed to deliver on the security commitments outlined in the MoU between Beirut and Jerusalem, as the Lebanese army has yet to demonstrate that it can disarm the Iran-backed terrorist group and establish a state monopoly over weapons in the country.

As Nepal reels from deadly flash floods that have devastated communities and left a trail of destruction, Jewish and Israeli humanitarian organizations are mobilizing emergency assistance, joining an urgent rescue effort as survivors remain stranded and the full scale of the disaster continues to emerge.
In one of the latest initiatives, humanitarian agency World Jewish Relief has launched an emergency campaign to support communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, where devastating floods swept through the region on Wednesday, leaving residents grappling with widespread destruction and urgent humanitarian needs.

Leading Famine Expert Largely Silent as Catastrophic Predictions for Gaza Fail to Materialize.
By Corey Walker. August 28, 2026
Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and internationally recognized expert on famine, has remained largely silent as his repeated declarations of mass hunger and death in Gaza have failed to materialize and have been undermined by newly released UNICEF data.
In 2024, de Waal became one of the most prominent voices warning that Gaza was heading toward an unprecedented mass-starvation catastrophe. Yet the catastrophic mortality scenario suggested by these warnings did not materialize on the scale implied. In a series of interviews, de Waal asserted that approximately 10,000 people per day would die in Gaza as a result of mass starvation.
The famine narrative on Gaza collapsed further after UNICEF released data earlier this month confirming that malnutrition rates in the enclave are lower than much of the region, undermining assertions that Israel purposefully inflicted a starvation on innocent civilians.
According to the results, acute malnutrition rates across Gaza ranged from 0.2 percent in Khan Younis and Rafah to 0.8 percent in Gaza City and North Gaza, figures that researchers said are comparable to or lower than those recorded before the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
The survey revealed that malnutrition rates in Gaza are less severe than many neighboring Middle Eastern countries and are comparable to several European countries. For instance, roughly 3.3 percent of Egyptian youth under five years of age suffer from malnutrition, according to the data. Further, approximately 4.3 percent of youth in Iran and 2.3 percent of youth in Jordan suffer from malnutrition, per the data.

Jerusalem musician, terror attack survivor Pesach Krishevsky dies at 90.
Pesach Krishevsky, a well-known Jerusalem musician who survived a deadly Palestinian terrorist attack in the city in 2015, has died at the age of 90, according to an announcement from his family on Friday.
Krishevsky was seriously wounded in a car-ramming and stabbing attack on the capital’s Malchei Yisrael Street on Oct. 13, 2015. His cousin, Rabbi Yeshayahu Krishevsky, 59, was killed in the attack.
The terrorist drove a vehicle into pedestrians waiting at a bus stop before exiting the car armed with a knife and attacking passersby. He was subsequently shot and killed by security forces.
Pesach Krishevsky suffered severe injuries but recovered and eventually returned to performing at weddings. A longtime fixture of Jerusalem celebrations, he was known as the “Jerusalem drummer.”

Mourning in Jerusalem.
The "Jerusalem Drummer" Rabbi Pesach Kryszewski, z"l, passed away.
The figure of Jerusalem's majesty and kindness who delighted generations of brides and grooms and became an inseparable part of the urban landscape, the late Rabbi Pesach Kryshevsky, passed away at the age of 90 | The late Rav survived against all odds in the dramatic stampede attack in the Melki Israel, which killed two of his children, and continued to delight hearts with ardent faith (Dayan Ha'amat).
Chaim Rosenbaum
Shabbat Square |Tu Elul | 08.28.26
Baruch Dayan Ha'amat: In the Jerusalem Metropolitan Municipality, the famous Rabbi Pesach Kryszewski [Krishevsky], one of the oldest and most important residents of the Holy City and one of the city's most veteran figures of majesty, grace, and kindness, passed away this morning. He was 90 years old at the time of his death.
The late Ztz"l was connected with every fiber of his soul to the authentic Jerusalem experience. For decades, he served as the mythical drummer at celebrations, weddings, funerals, and events in the capital, and was known to all by his beloved and unforgettable nickname, "The Jerusalem Poiker." With his well-known drumming that thrilled hearts, he radiated pure joy out of exultation and an extraordinary Ahavat Yisrael.
When he reached his peak, he married his wife, the important woman Mrs. Chaya Bracha, daughter of the late Rabbi Chaim Rubinfein, who passed away in 1957.
His acquaintances and friends tell of a Jew who was completely God-fearing, innocent in his ways, a light to every person, whose mouth never ceased praising God. He possessed the noble qualities of simplicity, humility, and a kind eye, and was loved by all his acquaintances. Throughout his life, he was heart and soul attached to the Gabbaid of the 'Eda Haredit', the author of 'Minchat Yitzhak', zt"l, who served as his Gabbai, and he was also attached with all his soul to the Gabbaid of 'Sha'arei Tuvia', zt"l, as he would visit his home in the Gush 80 neighborhood every week.
The name of Rav Pesach, zt"l, was engraved in public memory in a heroic and moving chapter during the wave of terror of 5776. On the morning of Tuesday, Tishrei 5776, he stood at the bus stop on Malkei Yisrael Street in the Geula neighborhood of Jerusalem, alongside his cousin, Rabbi Yeshayahu Akiva Kryszewski. A despicable terrorist who sped in his car ran over the two with force, and then got out armed with a butcher knife and brutally attacked them. His cousin was murdered on the spot for sanctifying God, while Rabbi Pesach was seriously injured and was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in critical condition.
In the hospital, obvious miracles took place around his bed. Against all medical predictions, and thanks to the many prayers of the public, he survived the severe injuries, made a miraculous recovery, and got back on his feet. While still hospitalized in the ward, he openly waved the banner of honoring Heaven and the Sabbath, when he came out in a vigorous protest and with Hasidic courage against the desecration of the Sabbath, while publicly sanctifying the name of Heaven and declaring that the right to observe the Sabbath is the protector and refuge of the people of Israel.
Upon his release from the hospital, he returned to the scene of the attack on Malkei Yisrael Street, accompanied by his family and acquaintances, and with emotion and tears recited the blessing "May He perform a miracle for me in this place." After his miraculous recovery, Rabbi Pesach returned to the drums and the stages, continuing to make brides and grooms happy.
In his life, he experienced severe tragedies when he lost two of his children: his daughter, the important woman Mrs. Hava Saarl Yehudit Stern, may God have mercy on her, the wife of the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Stern (one of the most important rabbis of the Hamadimi community), and his son, the great Rabbi Chaim Shalom Kryszewski zt"l (one of the most important Hasidim of Rachmastrivka). Rabbi Pesach accepted the difficult decrees with fervent faith and silence, and continued in his sacred work.
He left behind righteous and blessed generations, sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who continue in his pure path of Torah and Hasidism.

El-Sayed’s antisemitism is the issue; not Hasan Piker.
Democrats want their Michigan Senate candidate to disavow his podcaster pal. The problem is that most on the political left have already embraced his Jew-hatred and lies.
Jonathan S. Tobin.
(Aug. 28, 2026 / JNS) Democrats wish Hasan Piker would just go away. But he won’t and it’s their own fault. And declaring him to be a distraction that should be ignored, or condemning him without also disavowing their U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan who embraced and campaigned with him, won’t cut it.
Piker is back in the news because during a live stream on his popular Twitch channel, he said: “If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the State of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.”
How antisemitism works
This is a standard trope of antisemitism in which Jews are blamed for the hatred and violence aimed at them. In effect, he’s saying that if Jews continue to support the Jewish state and aid efforts to ensure its survival, they will not merely provoke the same sort of terrorism that was visited upon the Jews of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, but will incur similar atrocities against Jews in the United States.
That this vile effort to rationalize, if not justify, violence against Americans elicited condemnation is unsurprising. Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Michigan Democratic Senator Elisa Slotkin condemned it. Even his buddy, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who embraced and welcomed Piker to join him on the campaign trail during his successful effort to win the Democratic senatorial primary, felt the need to distance himself from the comments.
Liberals understand that their chances of winning control of the Senate in the November midterm elections will be considerably diminished if they lose in Michigan as a result of this controversy. So, they are pushing for El-Sayed to disavow Piker and to make a better effort to appear as if he opposes antisemitism and understands why his candidacy has inspired fear among Jews in Michigan and around the country.
For them, it is simply a matter of political common sense. If a major party candidate for high office is being negatively affected by the extreme statements or actions of an ally, there’s only one thing to do. The candidate needs to cut off ties with the ally and move on, thereby supposedly proving his moderation and good judgment.
It is therefore frustrating for the national party and its many media cheerleaders that El-Sayed just won’t do that.
But the issue isn’t that El-Sayed is being either stubborn or prioritizing loyalty to his friend over the goal of winning the Senate for the Democratic Party. It’s that he doesn’t really disagree with Piker and thinks that anyone who believes that supporters of Israel shouldn’t be abused (even if not subjected to actual terrorism) has lost his or her moral compass.
The Dems’ Tucker Carlson...

Trump calls for leaders of ‘failed nation’ Iran to be tried for ‘war crimes against humanity’ after latest US strikes.
By Ryan King.
Published Aug. 31, 2026, 8:28 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON — President Trump publicly called Monday for Iran’s leaders to be prosecuted for “war crimes against humanity” after trashing the Islamic Republic as a “failed nation.”
“Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD!” the president proclaimed on Truth Social. “They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country.”
“The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA, a willingness to kill their protesters (now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity!), and a good line of ‘BULLS—.’”
Trump’s statement came after US forces attacked rocket launchers used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to deploy mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil passed in peacetime.

The proposals from the far-left faction, which has enjoyed multiple high-profile election victories in the last year from Congress to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, would result in government spending surging to 57% of GDP, according to the lower-bound estimate from libertarian think tank the Cato Institute.
In 2025, the US government spent approximately 33.8% of GDP.

Trump calls for leaders of ‘failed nation’ Iran to be tried for ‘war crimes against humanity’ after latest US strikes.
By Ryan King.

WASHINGTON — President Trump publicly called Monday for Iran’s leaders to be prosecuted for “war crimes against humanity” after trashing the Islamic Republic as a “failed nation.”
“Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD!” the president proclaimed on Truth Social. “They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country.”
“The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA, a willingness to kill their protesters (now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity!), and a good line of ‘BULLS—.’”
Trump’s statement came after US forces attacked rocket launchers used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to deploy mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil passed in peacetime.
