America Must Mourn All Victims Of Gun Violence, From The Forgotten To The Famous Like Charlie Kirk - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

America Must Mourn All Victims Of Gun Violence, From The Forgotten To The Famous Like Charlie Kirk - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom: America must mourn all victims of gun violence, from the forgotten to the famous like Charlie Kirk.



The funeral of Charlie Kirk, alongside the remembrance day declared by Congress, should not be understood solely as the mourning of one family or the tribute of a single political movement. It represents something larger—a moment that should belong to the entire nation. Gun violence in America spares no one. It has taken the lives of the forgotten and the nameless, as well as those whose faces fill television screens, whose voices dominate the airwaves, and whose names are instantly recognized across the political divide.

By passing a resolution to designate Kirk’s birthday, October 14, as a National Day of Remembrance, Congress has acknowledged the weight of this loss. But the meaning of such a day should not stop with one man’s memory. To truly honor its purpose, it ought to serve as a day of mourning and reflection for every life cut short by gun violence in America—famous or unknown, political or apolitical. Only then can it stand as a unifying reminder of the urgency to confront a crisis that touches us all.

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma By Ben Emos and Tony Bruce | Wednesday, September  25 , 2024 | 7 min read Recently, critics have argued that Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t fully fleshed out her policies, raising concerns about the clarity of her agenda. Interestingly, this critique mirrors rhetoric often used by former President Donald Trump, who is known for diverting attention from more controversial issues. In this case, it could be seen as a way to shift the spotlight away from growing unease around the GOP’s Project 2025 and the more symbolic “eating of cats and dogs” controversy in Springfield, Ohio. Project 2025, the Republican-backed policy framework, has stirred concern due to its extreme deregulation measures and rollbacks on protections for vulnerable communities. Critics of the plan argue that it represents a significant threat to public health, environmental safety, and economic equality. The “eating of cats and dogs” metaphor, while not literal, encapsulates ...

Donald Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Trial Involving Porn Star Stormy Daniels

Donald Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Trial Involving Porn Star Stormy Daniels. By Don Terry | Tuesday, January 14, 2025 | 2 min read In a landmark case that has captivated the nation, former President Donald Trump has been sentenced after being convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Despite the guilty verdict, the court handed down an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump will face no further penalties, including imprisonment or community service. The allegations centered on claims that Trump orchestrated the payment to Daniels to silence her allegations of an affair. Prosecutors argued that the payment was fraudulently recorded in business ledgers, violating state law. The jury ultimately sided with the prosecution, but the sentencing judge issued a rare and controversial ruling, granting unconditional discharge. Legal analysts have n...

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened. By Mary Jones and Ben Emos | Thursday, August  15 , 2024 | 6 min read During Donald Trump’s political campaigns, particularly in 2016 and 2020, he often  employed personal attacks and misinformation to undermine his opponents. In 2016, Trump targeted Hillary Clinton by focusing on her husband’s extramarital affairs, hoping to tarnish her public image. By 2020, his strategy shifted to Hunter Biden’s business ventures, with Trump attempting to discredit Joe Biden by associating him with his son’s dealings. In both cases, the goal was clear: damage the opponent’s reputation through a blend of accusations, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. In yet another one of his colorful anecdotes, former President Donald Trump claimed he experienced an emergency helicopter landing alongside former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Trump described the situation as a tense moment, suggesti...
