Those who dismiss celebrations of Charlie Kirks murder as harmless free speech may have forgotten that the Pentagons crackdown on extremism began in 2021 after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.That year, the then-Defense Department, which was renamed the Department of War under the Trump administration, rewrote its standards for "extremism" within the ranks, making clear that even liking or retweeting certain content could prompt discipline. At the time, the initiative largely targeted right-wing extremism.Now, Pentagon leaders are once again scouring social media this time suspending officers who appear to cheer on the political assassination that has shaken the country over the past six days."It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of War has zero tolerance for it," Sean Parnell, chief Pentagon spokesman and senior advisor, declared in a post on X."Hunting down and prosecuting service members for their individual political beliefs is dangerous and un-American," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger, warned on X in response to the directive.In 2021, after several service members were implicated in the Capitol riot, then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a department-wide "stand-down" and created a Countering Extremist Activity Working Group. Its recommendations led to changes in the War Departments code (DoDI 1325.06), which formally defined "extremist activities," such as advocating violence, terrorism or the overthrow of the U.S. government.PENTAGON CALLS CHARLIE KIRK POSTS DOMESTIC TERRORISM; DEM WARNS DISCIPLINE IS UN-AMERICANFor the first time, the Pentagon explicitly stated that social media activity including likes or shares could be treated as an endorsement of extremism and grounds for discipline. The code also standardized recruit screening questions on extremist ties and issued new warnings to departing service members about the risks of extremist recruitment.By the end of 2021, fewer than 100 service members had been found in violation of the new standards.A June 2025 update left most of those rules intact, reaffirming that liking or sharing extremist content could be punished if it implied endorsement. But it did make one notable change: removing "gender identity" from a list of protected categories in the section banning advocacy of widespread unlawful discrimination. The 2021 version had barred discrimination based on "sex (including pregnancy), gender identity, or sexual orientation."Other agencies are taking even more aggressive steps. The State Department has announced it will revoke visas of foreigners who celebrate Kirks death, while Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Justice Department will pursue cases against those engaged in hate speech.JAY LENO CALLS CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION THE 'DEATH OF FREE SPEECH'Critics warn that the wave of firings and suspensions across the Pentagon, other federal agencies and even private industry risks going beyond curbing calls for violence to punishing those who merely criticize Kirk or fail to publicly mourn him."Government employees, including military personnel, dont give up their First Amendment rights when they take the job," Aaron Terr, FIREs director of public advocacy, told Fox News Digital. "The military does have leeway to impose discipline for speech that directly undermines discipline or the chain of command, but simply expressing an opinion that others consider ugly or wrongheaded doesnt meet that standard."Another First Amendment lawyer noted that in some instances, service members may enjoy stronger speech protections than private-sector employees, who can be fired "at will.""Usually, the way a government employer gets around [free speech arguments] is to say the government has the right to protect itself from statements that cast the institution in a negative light or pose a security issue," said Jeff Lewis, a California-based attorney."So, although public employees have stronger First Amendment protections than private-sector employees, the government as an employer usually wins when free speech rights come up against its ability to hire and fire."Already, Army Col. Scott Stephens was suspended following posts purportedly belonging to him that praised the killing."The death of Charlie Kirk in Utah was tragic. However, we can take comfort in the fact that Charlie was doing what he loved best spreading hate, racism, homophobia, misogyny and transphobia on college campuses," one post read.Another Army Reserve officer was suspended over the weekend."A monster died today," read one post allegedly belonging to Maj. Bryan Bintliff, who went by "Bryan Harlow" on social media. "Its sad Charlies kids are traumatized for life, but its not a sad thing that hes dead."

Raphael Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer, scholar, and refugee who gave the world a vocabulary for one of humanitys greatest evils. Out of the ashes of the Holocaust, in which nearly 50 members of his family were murdered, he coined the very word genocide to describe the Nazi attempt to annihilate the Jewish people and other targeted groups. His lifes work was to prevent such crimes, culminating in the United Nations Genocide Convention of 1948. For this, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 10 times.Today, more than six decades after his death, Lemkins name is being dragged through the mud by a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit that claims to speak in his voice but does the opposite of what he believed in. The so-called Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security has misappropriated his name and weaponized his legacy not to fight genocide, but to smear Israel and its supporters.'NEVER AGAIN' REQUIRES VIGILANCE AS ANTISEMITISM SPREADS THROUGH ELITE INSTITUTIONS AND CAMPUSESOnly days after the atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists butchered, raped, and kidnapped innocent civilians in Israel, the Lemkin Institute labeled Israels defensive response as genocide. Just five days later, it went so far as to call on the International Criminal Court to indict Israels prime minister for "the crime of genocide." The organizations posts have been viewed millions of times, magnifying this grotesque distortion across the globe.Let us pause on the perversity here. The word genocide was created by a Jew, for the world to understand what happened to the Jewish people under Nazi Germany. Now, an institution cloaking itself in his name uses it to demonize the Jewish state itself. That is not advocacy. It is desecration.Worse, the Institute has repeatedly defended or excused terrorist organizations. It condemned Israel for targeting Hamas leaders like Ismail Haniyeh, even portraying Hamas as part of a legitimate "response to European imperialism." It has painted Hezbollah another group sworn to Israels destruction as a victim of "terrorism" at Israels hands. And in its rhetoric, the United States is no better. The Institute has accused America of complicity in "genocide" merely for standing by its ally.This isnt genocide prevention. This is antisemitism masquerading as human rights.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe Lemkin family has had enough. Joseph Lemkin, a surviving relative and attorney, has joined with the European Jewish Association to demand action from Pennsylvania authorities. Their lawyers have filed a complaint to Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations, arguing that the Lemkin Institute is violating both state and federal law.The list of potential violations is long: unauthorized use of name and likeness, post-mortem right of publicity, identity theft, false endorsement, cybersquatting, and violations of Pennsylvanias charitable solicitation laws. The law is clear: you cannot hijack someone elses name much less one as revered as Raphael Lemkins to raise money, peddle propaganda, and mislead the public.The familys outrage is not about silencing criticism of Israel. Anyone can debate Israeli policy. But no one has the right to falsely cloak their agenda in the name of Raphael Lemkin, a man who dedicated his life to protecting Jews, not condemning them. His legacy is being prostituted to fuel the very hatred he spent his life fighting.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERThis moment matters far beyond one nonprofit. If Lemkins name can be stolen and twisted into a weapon against Israel, then any historic legacy is up for grabs. Imagine Martin Luther King Jr.s name being used to justify racial hatred. Imagine Mother Teresas name promoting cruelty instead of compassion. The outrage would be immediate and universal. The Jewish people and all who care about truth deserve no less in defense of Raphael Lemkin.Pennsylvania authorities must act. They should revoke the organizations use of the Lemkin name and hold it accountable under the law. The stakes are not only legal but moral. At a time when antisemitism is rising at alarming levels, the last thing we need is for Lemkins legacy to be weaponized against the very people he sought to protect.Words matter. Names matter. Legacies matter. To allow the Lemkin Institute to continue its campaign under this stolen banner is to allow history itself to be vandalized.For the sake of justice, for the sake of truth, and for the sake of honoring Raphael Lemkins memory, this charade must end.

TheDepartment of Justice is suingthe Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and the Providence Public School District (PPSD) over a program that only offersstudent loan forgiveness to non-White educators."While assisting new teachers in paying off their student loans may be a worthy cause, such a benefit of employment simply cannot be granted or withheld on the basis of the teachers race," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a Tuesday press release."We will not tolerate such plainly prohibited discrimination in employment," Dhillon added.INVESTIGATION FINDSRI PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFERED STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS TO ONLY NON-WHITE TEACHERSIn 2022, theLegal Insurrection Foundation, a Rhode Island-based nonprofit investigative and research group, filed a civil rights complaint with theU.S. Department of Education against the Providence Public School District.The organization alleged that the Providence Public School District provided a program giving student loan forgiveness to new teachers available only to non-White educators.The complaint said the district "engaged in a continuing violation and an ongoing pattern or practice of discrimination" with astudent loan forgiveness program for newly and recently hired educators that is only accessible to non-White applicants.The Providence Public School District reportedly said that recipients can have up to $25,000 of college loans forgiven once the teacher completes three consecutive years of teaching in the district.Eligibility requirements indicate recipients must "identify as Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latino, biracial, or multi-racial."A Julyfinal determination letter from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, requires that if violations are found, the Providence Public School District must work to bring a resolution.It directedthe Providence Public School District to contact the EEOC "within ten days upon your receipt of this letter to indicate your willingness to participate in EEOCs conciliation program to address the violation noted in this letter of determination.""Over the last few months, PPSD and RIDE worked in good faith with the U.S. Department of Justice to reach a resolution on this matter," a joint statement to Fox News Digital from a senior official at the PPSD on the lawsuit, read. "PPSD and RIDE officials have not been served, and we were not informed by federal representatives that they would proceed with a lawsuit. Since there is active litigation, PPSD and RIDE will not be commenting further."TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE STRIKES DOWN ANTI-DEI MEASURES FROM EDUCATION DEPARTMENTIn a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital, William Jacobson, Cornell law professor and founder of the Equal Protection Project, said he is glad the DOJ is pursuing legal action against a program he calls "racist.""The Equal Protection Project of the Rhode Island non-profit Legal Insurrection Foundation applauds the U.S. Department of Justice filing suit in federal court regarding the clearly racist Educator of Color Loan Forgiveness Program that ran in the Providence Public School District,"Jacobson said."The case arises out of a civil rights complaint originally filed at the U.S. Department of Education by the Legal Insurrection Foundation and pursued for over two years by the foundation and its Equal Protection Project,"Jacobson added. "The Educator of Color Program was created in cooperation with the Rhode Island Foundation, and openly discriminated against White teachers. We hope that the responsible parties will be held legally accountable, and that the role of the Rhode Island Foundation will be the subject of further legal efforts by DOJ."MINNESOTA FACES FEDERAL LAWSUIT FOR OFFERING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COLLEGE TUITION BENEFITS DENIED TO AMERICANSCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

An innocent dad was hit and killed by a suspect who police say was fleeing a smash-and-grab robbery on ChicagosMagnificent Mile.Mark Arceta was driving his normal route to work at a local hospital when he was killed. The 40-year-old now leaves behind a baby boy, who was born just one day after his death. His girlfriend spoke to Fox News about the tragedy."They did not want to tell me because I'm pregnant. They did not want me to worry. So, I just grabbed the phone, and then I couldn't believe it," says Roanne Masangkay.WOMAN KILLED IN BLUE CITY ROBBERY AS THREAT OF TRUMP TAKEOVER LOOMS WITH THIEVES TERRORIZING PUBLICThe Chicago Police Department (CPD) says the suspect behind the wheel of the car, 30-year-old Dejuan Wingard, was driving nearly 100mph at the time of the crash. Investigators say he was part of a theft crew that broke into a Louis Vuitton store on Michigan Avenue. The crime was caught on camera as one suspect was seen driving a truck through the store windows. The suspects then went inside and stole nearly $700,000 in merchandise, according to court records.At least seven people are now charged in connection to that smash-and-grab, which then led to the fatal crash. Police charged Keith Perkins, Anthony Hemphill, Harvey Fisher, Alton Jackson, Dejuan Wingard, Darius Bowdry and Kellen McMiller with a long list of charges including murder, burglary and felony theft. The crew also has long rap sheets, according to court documents.Darius Bowdry, 30, has been arrested 12 times as an adult in Chicago, according to CPD records.Kellen McMiller, 35, reportedly known as an anti-violence "peacekeeper," had at least four fugitive warrants, according to authorities.'CAREER CRIMINAL' KILLS TWO WOMEN, INJURES CHILD IN MINNEAPOLIS CARJACKING RAMPAGE: PROSECUTORSAlton Jackson, 37, has been out on parole since May after receiving a two-year sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will receive a full royal welcome from King Charles III following their arrival to Windsor Castle on Tuesday night.Wednesday's festivities will kick off with Trump, the first lady and several top U.S. officials participating in a carriage procession with the king, queen and other members of the royal family. Ahead of the couple's arrival, hundreds of staff worked through the halls and grounds of the nearly 1,000-year-old castle to ensure the monarch welcomed the couple in true royal fashion.Trump is set to ride in the foremost carriage along with King Charles, while Melania will ride in a following carriage with the queen. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and special envoy Steve Witkoff will also ride in follow-up carriages.Ahead of his visit, Trump hailed the "great honor" of being hosted by his "friend" at "the ultimate" Windsor Castle for his second state visit, the U.K.s Standard reported.U.K. POLICE DEPLOY 'COMPREHENSIVE' DRONE OPERATION ACROSS WINDSOR CASTLE FOR TRUMP VISIT"My relationship is very good with the U.K., and Charles, as you know, whos now king, is my friend," Trump told reporters, quoted by the outlet. "Its the first time this has ever happened where somebody was honored twice. So, its a great honor.""And this ones at Windsor," Trump added. "And I dont want to say ones better than the other, but they say Windsor Castle is the ultimate, right? So, its going to be nice.""Primarily its to be with Charles and Camilla," he continued.

Country artist Gavin Adcock warned those who thought they could silence Charlie Kirk that his death has only awakened millions more."For all the people or the hateful people out there, the groups that thought that would quiet Charlie Kirk, you've just awoken millions of other people that are not scared to die," Adcock said Monday on "The Ingraham Angle.""If you live in the life of the Lord and believe in Jesus, you shouldn't be scared to leave this world, and Charlie Kirk was a great example of that."UTAH LEADERS URGE UNITY FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION: 'TURNING POINT FOR AMERICA'The "Four Leaf Clover" singer paid tribute to Kirk over the weekend, hoisting the American flag and speaking about the late conservative activist as concertgoers chanted his name.Adcock said that Kirk's shocking assassination weighed heavily on his heart as he faced a slate of scheduled shows. Still, honoring Kirk gave him strength."I think my fan base sits right at the age group and the mindset of where Charlies fan base sits" he said."It was great to honor him all weekend. It wasnt just at that first show. It was every show this weekend. They were chanting, Charlie Kirk."YOUTH LEADERS MOURN 'THE GODFATHER OF CAMPUS CONSERVATISM' CHARLIE KIRK FOLLOWING ASSASSINATIONKirk was killed during a speaking engagement on a college campus in Orem, Utah last week, sparking tributes across the country and prompting many to reflect on his influence on politics and free speech.Adcock had never met Kirk, but said he often watched videos of his debates on social media."It was every day I was seeing him debate somebody over just being moral and being a good person and he just had a voice, and he expressed it, which I can really appreciate because I'm one of the most outspoken artists in all music and that's not something I can be bought out from or I'll ever change, so I can really appreciate that," he said.Despite acknowledging the risks of being outspoken in his industry, Adcock said he isnt concerned."I'm just living my life, playing my shows and being a good person," he said."If I get targeted and go down, there'll be people [who] raise up louder. [I'm] just proud to be an American, proud to be a believer of Jesus."Adcock proceeded to read Psalm 97:10, a Bible verse he displayed at his weekend shows in honor of Kirk and the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks."You who love the Lord hate evil. He protects the lives of the godly and rescues them from the power of the wicked."Fox News' Janelle Ash contributed to this report.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz criticized a United Nations report accusing Israel of genocide, warning that the Trump administration and Congress had tools at their disposal to sanction those behind it.The report, issued Tuesday by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (COI), said, "the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide, and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."In a statement to Fox News Digital, Cruz said, "This latest announcement by the United Nations is no different than any of the other antisemitic smears and libels that have been leveled against Israel in their ongoing response to Hamas' atrocities on Oct. 7."This campaign directly undermines American national security interests by eroding Israel's freedom of action against Hamas terrorists who killed Americans and fueling international lawfare against Israel, which will be turned against American servicemembers, and indeed American citizens in general. The Republican Trump administration and Republican Congress have developed tools and sanctions to deal with these threats, and they should be used against everyone involved in this travesty,' his statement concluded.UN BLASTED FOR FUNDING COMMITTEE CREATED TO DESTROY THE JEWISH STATE, DESPITE BUDGET CRISISAnne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices, told Fox News Digital that "the latest report of the U.N.s phony inquiry promotes genocide against Jews."Bayefsky said the report "obscenely rationalizes the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas and other Palestinians on Oct. 7 as an understandable reaction to prior Israeli wrongs," and "downgrades the mass murder, rape, torture, and trauma of Israelis by suggesting that not enough Jews were harmed to pose an existential threat to Israel."Bayefsky said that the COI, which has previously been accused of omitting important facts from its reporting, "makes zero recommendations for Hamas." She also said the report mentions the terror groups tunnel network, which was "integral to the Oct. 7 atrocities," only "in the context of criticizing Israel."Salo Aizenberg, director of media watchdog group HonestReporting, pushed back on the COI reports assertion that Israel has "impos[ed] measures intended to prevent births." He told Fox News Digital that, "If Israel truly aimed to destroy Gazas population, why did it allow WHO teams earlier in 2025 to vaccinate 603,000 children under age 10 matching pre-Oct. 7 numbers?"He noted that it "disregards that more than 20,000 Gaza fatalities are fighters from Hamas and other armed groups, obscuring the true dynamics of the conflict."HAMAS TERROR OUTLET QUIETLY CUTS GAZA DEATH COUNT, REVEALS MOST KILLED WERE COMBAT-AGE MENIn its recommendations, the COI report specifically calls for Israel to "ensure full, unimpeded access of humanitarian aid at scale" and "end the distribution of food aid through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation." The report cites the commissioner-general of the controversial U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), who has called GHF "an abomination" and "a death trap" that is "costing more lives than it saves."According to recent U.N. statistics, however, between July 21 and Aug. 18 there were double the number of deaths along U.N. convoy routes (576) as there were surrounding GHF sites (259).Additionally, only 14.5% of U.N. aid trucks sent into Gaza have reached their intended destinations since May due to armed looting and theft. During the same period, GHF has distributed 165 million meals to Palestinians at its secure distribution sites.GHF released a statement explaining that the COI published its report "without ever contacting" the organization, calling its statements "falsehoods that could have been easily corrected had we been asked." GHF said there have been no shootings at its sites, and that claims, particularly that children have been shot, are "not only false" but "reckless."HAMAS PLOTS INFILTRATION AT US-BACKED GAZA AID SITE, FORCES TEMPORARY SHUTDOWNWhile the COI currently casts specific blame on three Israeli officials for alleged genocide, COI member Chris Sidoti told the press on Monday, "there are many, many statements by Israeli political and civilian leaders that incite genocide, and also by others, including some media commentators in Israel, that have been inciting genocide."Stphane Dujarric, spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Antnio Guterres, did not respond to questions on whether Sidotis remarks were an attack on Israels media.In response to press questions about the COI report, Guterres said that "it is not in the attributions of the Secretary-General to do the legal determination of genocide. That belongs to the adequate judicial entities, namely, the International Court of Justice." Guterres said, "the truth is that this is something that it is morally, politically, and legally intolerable."Bayefsky said that "U.S. law withholds funds for the COI, but clearly it has not had the intended impact." She argued it is "high time" to do a "lot more to terminate the dangers that the U.N. and its COI pose to both the United States and Israel."Fox News Digital asked the State Department whether it intended to sanction COI members or prevent their travel to the U.N. for next weeks General Assembly debate. The State Department did not issue a response by press time.A spokesperson for the COI did not respond to questions from Fox News Digital about its report.

The assassination of conservative influencer and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk last week has sparked renewed urgency around protecting free speech, particularly on college campuses.Kirk, 31, was killed Wednesday during a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He leaves behind his wife, Erika, and two young children.Seattle-based journalist and conservative influencer Cameron Higby, who contracts for Turning Point's FrontLines, is among those leading efforts to honor Kirks legacy. He co-launched a grassroots campus tour this week with political commentator David Khait called "Fearless.""Its to show people that conservatives, and people in general, arent afraid to go out and talk about their beliefs in the public square Even though Charlie sat behind a table just like ours and was shot and killed. We want to show that were not scared," Higby told Fox News Digital.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKWearing "Make America Great Again" hats, Higby and Khait set up a booth Monday at Georgia State University with signs that read, "Nobody should be killed for their opinions. RIP Charlie" and "Left is violent: Lets debate."
