Claim about Erika Kirk being involved in child trafficking, debunked

The killing of Charlie Kirk, CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth group Turning Point USA, sent shockwaves all over the country.

The 31-year-old commentator was speaking before a large crowd at Utah Valley University (UVU) on September 10 when he was shot in the neck.

Kirk was rushed to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

He left behind his wife, Erika Kirk, and their two children, daughter, 2, and their 16-month-old son.

The FBI revealed on September 11 that it had recovered the rifle tied to Kirk’s killing and shared images of the suspect. Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah the following day. After his arrest, Erika Kirk broke her silence and spoke about her late husband.

Erika addressed the nation in a livestream from Turning Point USA’s Phoenix studio, right next to the chair her husband had used for his podcast.

The grieving widow thanked emergency services for their quick response in trying to save her husband’s life. She also thanked the White House and Vice President JD Vance and his wife for “bringing [Charlie] home.”

Erika then expressed her gratitude to President Donald Trump, whom her husband had backed for years.

The memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Arizona draw tens of thousands of people.

Shortly after Charlie’s passing, rumors about Erika Kirk being involved in child trafficking through a charitable project in Romania started circulating.

According to Snopes, the claim was tied to Erika Kirk’s Romanian Angels project, part of her nonprofit Everyday Heroes Like You. The program aimed to support Romanian orphans by sending letters and gifts, as well as organizing visits from U.S. military members.

“Did ya’ll know Erika Kirk is banned from Romania because her Evangelical group was accused of trafficking children out of Romanian villages? Birds of a feather I suppose,” one online post that has been viewed more than 4.6 million times read.

A Threads post claimed, “In 2011 Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie, had a “ministry” in Romania that worked with the U.S. government, until Romania told her ministry to leave. Go research why. I’ll give you a hint. Epstein and Trump. Her ministry was accused of trafficking children from the village. – don’t believe me, do your research.”

While Erika didn’t comment on the matter, Snopes claimed “There was no evidence the trafficking allegation was true.”

“Newspaper articles about child trafficking in Romania that internet users shared as alleged evidence did not contain any mention of Erika Kirk or her organization. Likewise, materials from the Romanian Angels initiative that circulated online as alleged evidence did not contain any indication that the initiative was involved in trafficking or relocating any children;” it continued.

After my accident, my husband chose lunch over me—until the police gave him the real wake-up call

I’ll never forget the moment I realized my marriage of eight years was over, and honestly, I really couldn’t understand how I didn’t figure that out sooner.

I was lying in the ER with a dislocated shoulder while every breath I took felt like fire

I told Tyler, my husband, that I had been in an accident and asked him to come, but he wrote back that he couldn’t because he was in a middle of his lunch with Charlotte.

I just typed one word: “Okay.”

That was it. That word ended eight years of marriage, even if he didn’t know it yet.

It’s crazy to think that just that morning, I was in the kitchen making him breakfast the way he liked it, eggs over easy, bacon just shy of burnt, toast with the thinnest layer of butter.

That morning, he had mentioned Charlotte again, with that little smile of his he used to save for me.

“Another crisis,” he said, referring to his old friend’s Charlotte’s ex-husband who had allegedly stalked her. But honestly, it was rather strange that his stalking only happened on Thursdays, and it was even stranger that after months of him doing that police never got involved.

When I met Charlotte for the first time, I somehow knew she couldn’t be just a friend. They way she and Tyler laughed, how she placed her hand on his shoulder, and a bunch of other subtle signs that there was more to their story of being old friends.

That night, as I was driving to dinner with friends without Tyler, I was making a bunch of excuses in my head for his absence. And just then, I spotted a truck driving my way.

The next thing I knew was that I was on the ground, with blood all over me.

At the hospital, they tried to reach him three times. When he finally answered, I could hear the nurse saying, “Mr. Davis, your wife Hannah… serious accident… stable, but…” Then her face shifted. “He says… he’s with a friend in crisis, he can’t leave. He asked me to tell you to text.”

Then, I had the nurse call a police officer I knew, Janet, to go find him. I pictured the scene perfectly: him with Charlotte, leaning in close, until the officers walked up to the table and told him his wife was lying in the ER. That humiliation was just the beginning.

When my brother, David, arrived at the hospital, he was furious. He knew this wasn’t the first time Tyler showed he didn’t care about me. And without consulting me, David called a locksmith and a moving company, arranging for the locks to be changed and Tyler’s things to be boxed and out of my apartment.

Hearing him doing that, I didn’t stop him.

By the next morning, the locks were changed and movers cleared his things. A neighbor mentioned seeing Charlotte’s BMW at my house. It was enough proof that it hadn’t been just lunches. When Tyler came with his mother to collect his boxes, Charlotte was still calling. She was always the priority.

He left in minutes, and I stopped looking back. His excuses and barroom stories weren’t mine to carry. Six months later, my home was full of laughter, my scars had softened, and Thursdays felt light again. The crash almost ended me, but in truth, it gave me back my life.

Knowing how powerful and beneficial it is, all you need to do is make the ginger part of your diet.

The best thing, however, is that you can grow your own ginger in your home without the need to buy it in a store. All you need is a pot.

Benefits of Growing Ginger in a Pot
When you grow your ginger in a pot, you can easily control soil, water, and sunlight for healthier plants and better harvests. Plus, pots can be moved indoors during colder months and add a touch of greenery to your home.

Understanding the Basics of Ginger Cultivation
Ginger is a tropical plant grown from rhizomes that thrives in warm, humid conditions. It needs rich, well-draining soil, steady moisture, and partial to full sunlight, taking about 8–10 months to mature.

Choosing the Right Ginger Variety for Pot Growing
If you are not sure which type of ginger to choose, go with the most common culinary ginger (Zingiber officinale) which is a great choice for pots. Ornamental types like “Blue Hawaiian” or “Baby Ginger” also work.

In order to ensure healthy grow, make sure you buy organic rhizomes from a trusted source.

Selecting the Ideal Pot and Soil for Ginger
Ginger grows horizontally, so choose a wide, shallow pot with good drainage. Use rich, well-draining soil, and mix in some sand or perlite to stop water from building up

Step-by-Step Guide to Planting Ginger in a Pot
Start the process of growing your own ginger by soaking rhizomes overnight. Next, place them just below the soil surface with buds facing up. Then cover with soil, water well, and keep the pot in a warm spot with indirect light.

Caring for Your Potted Ginger Plant
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, and feed with liquid fertilizer every few weeks. Watch for pests and give support if the plant grows tall.

Harvesting Your Homegrown Ginger
Ginger is ready to harvest after 8–10 months, once leaves turn yellow and growth slows. You can dig up the whole plant or take what you need, letting the rest continue growing.

Common Ginger Growing Problems
The biggest issues when you grow your own ginger are root rot from too much water and pests like aphids or mites. That’s why it’s crucial to keep the soil well-drained. You should always water carefully, and use natural treatments like neem oil if pests appear. Yellowing leaves may mean the plant needs more nutrients, so adjust your fertilizer.

Tips for Ensuring a Continuous Supply of Ginger
In order to have a continuous supply of this extra powerful food, plant new rhizomes every few months. Make sure you save part of each harvest for replanting to keep a steady cycle going.

To grow ginger in a pot is not only simple, but also rewarding because it gives you fresh spice whenever you need it. With a little care, you’ll enjoy both the flavor and health benefits of homegrown ginger all year long.

Why AOC’s district is eligible to be a federal law enforcement battleground

Residents of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, a two-mile stretch that has become notorious for illicit activities, are voicing their concerns over the increasing presence of brothels and s*x trafficking in the area.

The area, which was once considered a commercial hub for immigrants, has now transformed into what some locals refer to as a “red-light district.” Many legitimate businesses that once served the community are now being pushed by places that run illegal operations.

Despite local law enforcement efforts, residents feel that the problem continues, and as a result, community leaders have bypassed their local representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and have appealed directly to FBI Director Kash Patel for federal intervention. According to them, the situation escalated and local authorities can’t manage the issue alone as tougher measures are needed.

Protests by citizens on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens/Let’s Improve Roosevelt Ave

The coalition, known as Restore Roosevelt Avenue, has organized protests and identified several locations they believe are operating as brothels. They claim that gangs are coercing women into prostitution and engaging in open drug dealing, making the area a prime candidate for federal investigation.

While local police have made numerous arrests related to prostitution, residents claim that these efforts are only addressing the symptoms, not the real problem.

They emphasize that even when individuals are arrested, they are quickly replaced by others.

In April, federal agents arrested eight individuals believed to be members of the 18th Street gang, which has been linked to violence and criminal activities on Roosevelt Avenue.

Protests by citizens on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens/Let’s Improve Roosevelt Ave

Members of the community claim they don’t feel safe and that their children are exposed to solicitation near schools with parents expressing concern over the mental health effects this environment is having on their families.

While Ocasio-Cortez has requested funding for nonprofits addressing trafficking, some constituents believe her response is insufficient. They point to Rep. Grace Meng, who has been advocating for increased federal funds and better cooperation with the NYPD, as a more proactive approach.

Residents of Roosevelt Avenue emphasize that their focus is on targeting traffickers and not the victims of exploitation.

They call for victim-centered support services and rehabilitation programs to address the real issues.

The situation on Roosevelt Avenue reflects larger issues with crime, immigration, and city management. Residents are calling on officials to step in and protect their community.

Jimmy Kimmel breaks down in tears as he shares message for Erika Kirk

Jimmy Kimmel’s on-air suspension over the comments he made about the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was short-lived.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel also criticized Trump’s decision to lower flags to half-mast in honor of Kirk and mocked the president’s reaction to the shooting.

“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish,” the talk show host added.

The late-night show host returned on TV on Tuesday and took time to address the issue that got his show canceled in the first place.

During his monologue, the veteran broadcaster said: “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.”

Before the show returned after its nearly week-long suspension, President Donald Trump — who had praised ABC for taking Kimmel off the air — blasted the network for allowing him back.

In the monologue following his return on the show Kimmel again mocked Trump, saying, “You almost have to feel sorry for him, he tried his best to cancel me and instead he forced millions of people to watch the show.

“That backfired bigly, he might need to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

However, although Jimmy Kimmel added a humorous touch, he also got emotional when he spoke of Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk.

“I want to make something clear because it is important to me as a human and that is that it was never my intention to make light of a murder of a young man. I don’t think there is anything funny about it, I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion and I meant it and I still do,” Kimmel said.

“I understand that to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both, and for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset,” he added, referring to Disney, ABC’s parent company, and its reasoning for suspending the show.

As he wrapped up his monologue, the host shared words on Erika Kirk’s remarkable decision to forgive the person who murdered her husband.

“She forgave him. That is an example we should follow,” Kimmel said. “If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That’s it. A selfless act of grace. Forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply. If there’s anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that.”

Barack Obama slams Trump in brutally honest response to his Tylenol autism announcement

President Donald Trump declared during an announcement on Monday that taking Tylenol, the US equivalent of paracetamol, during pregnancy causes autism in babies, and former President Obama has hit out at him for “undermining public health” with his statement.

Namely, Trump claimed that “There are certain groups of people that don’t take vaccines and don’t take any pills, that have no autism.

Turning to US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, Trump asked, “Is that a correct statement?”

Further, Trump announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would issue new guidance to all doctors in the country.

“Ideally, you don’t take it at all, but if you have to, if you can’t tough it out, if there’s a problem, you’re going to end up doing it.”

Trump spoke of alleged link between Tylenol and autism/ Francis Chung/Politico/Bloomberg via Getty Images

His statement comes despite the World Health Organization stressing that there is “currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between autism and use of acetaminophen,” the non-branded name for the drug sold as Tylenol.

WHO responded to Trump’s announcement with a statement that read, “Globally, nearly 62 million people (1 in 127) have autism spectrum disorder, a diverse group of conditions related to development of the brain. Although awareness and diagnosis have improved in recent years, the exact causes of autism have not been established, and it is understood there are multiple factors that can be involved.”

Obama accused President Donald Trump of “violence against the truth” a sit-down with historian David Olusoga in London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday.

Fane Group

“We have the spectacle of my successor making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved,” Obama said in front of a 14,000-strong audience in London.

“The degree to which that undermines public health, the degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant, the degree to which that creates anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic which, by the way, itself is subject to a spectrum and a lot of what is being trumpeted as these massive increases actually have to do with a broadening of criteria across that spectrum so that people can actually get services and help…

“All of that is violence against the truth.”

Fane Group

Tylenol representatives also issued a statement after Trump’s comments on the medication, stating that it is “one of the most studied medications in history,” adding that it is “safe when used as directed by expecting mothers, infants and children.”

The company further stated, “The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism.

“Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.

“High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor.

“We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.”
