Mourners Gather to Honor Kirk

President Trump spoke at a memorial honoring the late Charlie Kirk on Sunday in Glendale, calling Kirk a martyr for American freedom.

Kirk’s widow, Erika, told the estimated 200,000 people in attendance at State Farm Stadium and overflow areas that she forgives the gunman who killed him.

“I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do,” Erika Kirk said. You can watch her full comments here.

Last week, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating Oct. 14 a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.

Heat Suspected in Owl Die-Off

Researchers continue to study the cause of 54 flammulated owls dying or becoming sick last fall across metro Phoenix.

Preliminary findings suggest that a fall heatwave caused dehydration and kidney damage in the rare species, likely contributing to the die-off.

Residents had collected dead and injured owls and delivered them to wildlife sanctuaries, enabling researchers to study them.

Scientists from three universities, working with the state Game and Fish Department, ruled out bird flu.

Teen’s Invention Protects 15,000 Homes

Scottsdale teen Ayush Sidapara is turning heads with his invention, the Door Bull, which makes doors more secure for homes and schools.

Sidapara’s invention strengthens doors by anchoring the device to the door frame, turning weak entry points into secure barriers.

The Door Bull is already installed in 15,000 homes and several schools nationwide, generating more than $800,000 in sales. It has been praised by security experts for its simplicity.

Sidapara is working to expand access, including plans to donate Door Bulls to local communities and partner with leaders to enhance safety, particularly in schools facing security concerns.

A groundbreaking discovery is transforming how we understand memory and brain health.

Scientists at the prestigious Weinberg College of Chicago recently built the world’s most advanced atomic microscope, powerful enough to look deep inside a living, active brain. What they saw left them stunned: the true location of memory cells and how these cells shape our daily habits, decisions, and even personality.

Even more exciting, their research revealed a simple way to restore lost memory and sharpen mental clarity—without expensive treatments or risky medications. A revolutionary mental training program now makes it possible to reverse even severe memory loss using just a few easy, 3-minute techniques.

Because it relies on natural brain retraining—not drugs or supplements—powerful corporations are already trying to keep this discovery from the public.

The opportunity to reclaim your memory may not be available for long.
