@CollinBCook @KevinHarvick 1st race I ever attended.

@nut_history No. Because it is on FS1.

Hey @fox5sandiego, why aren’t you showing the WBC game with the US v D.R?

@MoveTheSticks @brandonensley1 “Traitsy” is a quality DJism. Incidentally, that’s how I describe my golf game.

@RepDanGoldman You’re right. It takes some big balls to do what the Admiral has done.

@ianmSC Except Sotamayor, for reasons that (1) She agrees; and/or (2) she’s happy to no longer be the dumbest one.

@jeff_gluck I would watch them all but it's tough with the different providers. I get the races on the networks (Fox & NBC) and on Prime. But those on cable are tough to justify paying $85/month for YouTube TV to watch the races. In the fall, NFL and college FB change the value prop. a bit.

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

But the decline of powerful empires of old was unimaginable at the apex of their power. But the Roman, the Greek, the Egyptian, and British Empires once ruled their times but are now long gone. Unless something drastically changes and fast, we face the same fate.

[Baconlord @48lawyer]

We aren’t a nation anymore. What unites us? Faith? Culture? Foundational principles like free speech? A large swath of our country doesn’t just believe the other half is wrong but fundamentally evil. They celebrate the assasination of a man who just debated people.

[Baconlord @48lawyer]

@IlhanMN So the message is that I should give up my guns or else you will kill me with yours?
