Nation’s First ‘Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway’ Officially Dedicated

Published

on

The Lake County Commission in Florida unanimously voted in favor of designating the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway on Sept. 23.

This may well be the first officially designated tribute in the country, with the sign going up within days after the county commission voted on the change.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that former Florida legislator Anthony Sabatini spearheaded the resolution and posted “IT’S OFFICIAL — Our Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway signs are up!”

Sabatini commented, “Lake County, FL is now the 1st local government in the nation to name a road after the great Charlie Kirk — every city & county in America should follow our lead.”

Schofield Road, which connects Lake County to Orange County, was given the designation.

Approval for the name change was reportedly contentious, with about two and a half hours of sometimes shouted debate, the News-Journal reported.

Similar requests to rename roads in honor of Kirk are either awaiting approval or have already been denied in Florida in areas including Clearwater, Hernando County, Melbourne, Miami-Dade County, Pensacola, and St. Lucie County.

Conservatives have worked to honor Kirk’s memory and his life achievements in various ways, but their efforts have not always met with approval.

Directly following the public assassination of Kirk on Sept. 10, President Donald Trump ordered American flags to be flown at half-staff and shared that he would posthumously award him the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

People held vigils across the nation in churches and towns big and small.

A memorial service was held in Glendale, Arizona, which Homeland Security shared was attended by close to 100,000 people.

Kirk spent a good deal of time traveling to local universities in Florida.

Jamie Miller, the vice president of communications and chief marketing officer, said that New College of Florida in Sarasota plans to commission a statue of Kirk on campus “as a commitment by New College to defend and fight for free speech and civil discourse in American life.”

It may be said that the highway of ideas and the route of open debate is more heavily traveled because of Kirk’s work, and Lake County, Florida, seems to be the first to pay his path tribute.

The unemployment rate also decreased from 4.4% to 4.3% according to CNBC

President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT

From the president’s Truth Social account:
Tweet by Donald Trump discussing US job numbers, borrowing costs, interest rates, and a balanced budget, emphasizing America's strength and economic potential.

At what point can the American people sue the Federal Reserve Chief for his dereliction of duty? Jerome Powell is now costing every American untold amounts of money by refusing to do his job!

CNBC host Rick Santelli reacted positively:

Even CNN was forced to share the good economic news.

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
