Charlie Kirk closed his eyes to this earth for the last time… and opened them to eternity for the first.

A powerful video where he shares his journey of faith. His life was short, but a life well-lived.

Rest in peace, brother. Your wisdom will echo through the lives you’ve touched, and your influence will remain forever irreplaceable.

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

This #VeteransDay I thank all of those who’ve served, and all of America for giving me the privilege to have served!

An 11-month-old baby Koah was found buried beneath the ground in Lexington County, South Carolina. As rescuers dug, they heard Koah crying and raced to save him.

His father buried his own son alive to punish the child’s mother. It is a sign of the times a reminder of how cruel and monstrous a parent can become toward his own flesh and blood. No child should ever become a weapon in an adult conflict.

May Koah heal, grow up safe, and be surrounded by love. AW

When we place our hopes and stability entirely in government, we ask it to provide what only strong principles and moral character can sustain. Government matters. It can protect rights and serve the public good. But no government can make a society virtuous by itself.

When we stop striving for honesty, humility, responsibility and compassion, our institutions reflect that decline. And when they do, changing the party in power is not enough. The names and labels may change while the same failures deepen.

We must loosen our loyalty to parties and labels and strengthen our loyalty to principle. No party deserves our blind allegiance. Every leader should be judged by the same standards: Do they tell the truth? Do they respect human dignity? Do they serve the public or themselves?

A healthier country begins when we hold ourselves and our leaders accountable, and when we keep striving to do what is right even when it is inconvenient. Our future depends less on the label we defend than on the principles we are willing to live by. AW

Today, we salute the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. But a true salute asks more of us than a moment of silence or a few words of thanks. It asks us to remember what service costs and what we owe to those who have served.

We often speak of courage on the battlefield. We should also remember the courage it takes to leave home, to miss birthdays and holidays, to live with uncertainty, and to carry memories that may be difficult to explain when the uniform comes off. Behind every veteran is a story of duty, sacrifice, and a family that served alongside them in ways the nation may never see.

Some veterans return to applause. Others come home quietly, carrying injuries visible and unseen. Some find their footing quickly; others face years of adjustment, grief, or loneliness. Their service does not end when they leave the military, and our responsibility to them should not end with a ceremony.

Veterans Day is a time to honor those who answered the call, whether in war or in peace. It is also a time to ask whether we have kept faith with them with care worthy of their sacrifice, with opportunities to build a life after service, and with leaders who understand the gravity of sending Americans into harm’s way.

We can disagree about wars and policies. But we should never forget the people who stood ready to serve their country, or the families who bore the worry and absence that came with that choice. Their commitment deserves our gratitude, our respect, and our sustained attention.

To every veteran: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and the quiet strength you have given this nation. May we honor you not only today, but in the way we live, the promises we keep, and the care we show one another.

Happy Veterans Day. AW

Live on the National Mall: A statue referencing President Trump’s Vietnam-era draft deferments is drawing attention and offense. Many consider the satire disrespectful, especially ahead of Veterans Day; others see it as political expression. The day belongs to those who served and their families. AW

[Armstrong Williams 🇺🇸 @Arightside]

There is nothing funny about a political assassination. Dave Chappelle is a gifted comedian, but saying he feels better since Charlie Kirk was murdered is painful and deeply disappointing.

We can disagree fiercely with Charlie Kirk’s politics. But he was a husband, a father and a human being whose life was taken by violence. Comedy can challenge power and provoke thought; it should never make another family’s grief a punchline.

Rudy Giuliani’s warning about J.D. Vance deserves attention not because Giuliani is beyond criticism, but because he raised specific concerns about Vance’s judgment and temperament.

Giuliani said he sees “presidential potential” in Vance, but also “certain dangers” in his personality. He questioned Vance’s claim that the Iran war was the main reason Republicans lost the midterms, arguing that the economy and cost of living mattered more. He also said Vance needs flexibility of mind and should not let slogans dominate his thinking.

Giuliani’s sharpest concern was that Vance might be too quick to back away from confronting Iran after an election loss, despite what Giuliani described as decades of threats against American leaders.

That is a striking warning from a man who has been closely connected to President Trump and his inner circle. Is Giuliani speaking from a deeper place from what he has seen up close about the people and pressures surrounding the president?

Vance should be judged by his decisions and his willingness to serve all Americans. But Giuliani’s warning raises an important question: What kind of character and judgment should we trust with the presidency? AW

There is something deeply tragic about watching a man who once seemed to have the world at his fingertips face the consequences of his actions.

Russell Brand built a career on wit, charisma, and a willingness to challenge the establishment. Millions listened to him, admired him, and believed in his message.

But fame does not excuse misconduct. Celebrity does not place anyone above the law, and influence cannot erase the suffering of those who have been harmed. A jury has convicted Brand of rape and sexual assault, and he has now been sentenced.

I believe in redemption. I believe people can change. And I believe that even those who have committed terrible wrongs deserve to be treated with basic human dignity.

But redemption begins with accountability, not excuses. Sympathy for a fallen public figure must never eclipse compassion for those who have suffered.

There are no winners in a tragedy like this. Lives have been damaged, trust has been shattered, and a celebrated career faces a devastating reckoning.

We can recognize Russell Brand’s humanity without minimizing the gravity of the jury’s verdict or the harm described by his victims.

Character is not measured by the applause we receive, but by the responsibility we take for our actions. AW

[Armstrong Williams 🇺🇸 @Arightside]

Elected officials across America deserve better than a chain message built on fear.

The story circulating about a Muslim imam supposedly admitting that Islam commands every Muslim to kill nonbelievers has been challenged for years. The account is not reliable evidence of what Muslims believe. The Quran itself says to fight those who fight you without transgressing, and permits kindness and justice toward people who do not wage war against Muslims. “Jihad” has a range of meanings in Islamic tradition, including spiritual striving; it is not a blanket command for Muslims to murder Christians or anyone else.

That does not require us to ignore history or excuse violence. Islamic empires expanded through conquest, as did many empires in history. And today, extremist movements invoke Islam to justify terrorism and coercion. We should condemn those movements plainly, study their ideas honestly, and protect the people they target. But it is neither honest nor just to assign the actions of extremists to every Muslim.

My Christian faith teaches me to speak the truth, love my neighbor, and defend the freedom of conscience. I can proclaim Jesus as my Savior without misrepresenting my Muslim neighbor. Moral clarity means confronting both religious extremism and the prejudice that turns an entire faith community into a suspect class.

The message’s claim that Muslim voters will soon elect a president is no argument against their citizenship. In America, people of every faith have the right to vote, serve, and seek office. Officials should judge candidates by their words, policies, and conduct not by a voter’s religion.

We can defend our faith without bearing false witness. We can confront terrorism without condemning millions of innocent people. And we can insist that every American, Christian or Muslim, live under the same Constitution and the same law. AW

Flashing lights and a strong police presence make us look because our minds are wired to notice danger. When we don’t know what happened, uncertainty quickly fills the gap and we imagine the worst. Sometimes the scene is serious; sometimes it’s routine. Before assuming, pause and wait for the facts.

Beneath the Washington Monument, these flags remind us that America belongs to all of us. Patriotism means honoring our ideals, facing our failures, and doing our part to build a country worthy of its promise. Our story is unfinished. 🇺🇸. AW

A must-see in Washington: “Revealing the Hidden: Byzantine Icons from Thessaloniki and Patmos” at the Museum of the Bible.

Standing before these icons, I felt the centuries grow quiet. These are not simply beautiful works of art. Created for worship, they carry the prayers, biblical stories, and devotion of Greek Orthodox communities across generations.

This exhibition takes us across centuries and religious traditions. It invites us to encounter the faith and history of others with curiosity and humility and to reflect on the human longing for meaning, hope, and a connection with God. The images of Christ, Mary, and the saints remind us how art can make belief visible and bring sacred stories to life.

I left feeling spiritually nourished. If you’re in Washington, make time for this remarkable exhibition. It’s a chance to look closely, learn deeply, and let beauty open a path to greater understanding.

Exhibition: November 7, 2026–February 28, 2027
Location: Museum of the Bible, Floor 5
Address: 400 4th St. SW, Washington, DC 20024
Visit: Allow 30–45 minutes; included with general admission. The museum is open Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, 1–7 p.m. Hours may change seasonally. AW

The most consequential and potentially dangerous result of this election may be Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan.

His victory speech offered a glimpse of the posture he may bring to Washington: smug, self-congratulatory and eager to taunt his opponents. But personality is only part of the concern. We should judge him by his own words and policies, not by his faith.

In his 60 Minutes interview, he said he would accept a one-state outcome if Israelis and Palestinians chose it. But that answer leaves a fundamental question unresolved: would Israel continue to exist as the national home of the Jewish people?

That is not a minor distinction. A shared state could mean equal rights and security for both peoples or it could mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state. Voters deserve a clear answer about which future he would support.

El-Sayed also called for an arms embargo on Israel and accused the country of genocide. Those positions deserve serious scrutiny, especially as antisemitism rises and Israel faces threats to its security.

Some Jewish voters supported him. One early-voter survey put his Jewish support at about 57 percent, while also finding he underperformed other Democrats among the same voters. Their choices belong to them; no one should presume to tell Jewish Americans how to vote. But every voter should weigh carefully what a candidate says about Israel, Jewish self-determination and the security of Jewish communities.

The warning here is not about a candidate’s religion. It is about the consequences of his stated positions and the danger of dismissing those consequences until it is too late to debate them honestly. AW

My verdict on Benjamin Netanyahu: never underestimate his political craft.

The election has left him short of a majority, but his opponents are so fractured that he may still find a path back to power. Netanyahu has survived too many political crises to be counted out now. He knows how to exploit divisions, make unlikely deals, and wait for his rivals to stumble.

Power can become its own intoxicant. Netanyahu has held it for so long that surrendering it may be almost unthinkable. The question is whether Israel’s divided opposition can unite long enough to keep him from finding one more way back. AW

The instinct to blame Susie Wiles alone for the Republicans’ losses is confusing. Elections are shaped by many forces, and responsibility cannot be reduced to one person. Wiles served the president and his administration, and she deserves recognition for that service.

A chief of staff must have the president’s trust and respect. That relationship is essential to the job. Stephen Miller has been less visible in recent months, but now he is being asked to take on a demanding responsibility at a consequential moment.

He should understand that his work will help shape Donald Trump’s legacy. That is a serious charge and an opportunity. Give him the chance to show what kind of chief of staff he will be. Judge him by his decisions and results in this role, not by old headlines or assumptions about what he might do.

And if President Trump can meet this moment with humility and restraint, tone down his rhetoric, and show a genuine willingness to work with Democrats, real progress is possible. The country needs leaders focused on easing the hardships many Americans face and confronting threats at home and abroad. That work will require more than loyalty or forceful words. It will require discipline, sound judgment, and a willingness to put the nation’s interests ahead of partisan scorekeeping. AW

You’re right to demand accountability across party lines. Corruption should be investigated and punished wherever the evidence leads, regardless of who holds power.

One clarification: qualified immunity is not a blanket shield for every elected official. It generally limits certain civil lawsuits against government officials over constitutional-rights violations; it does not make corruption legal or prevent criminal prosecution. But the broader concern is real: legal protections, political influence and weak oversight can make accountability difficult.

What’s being done? Inspectors general, ethics offices, courts, prosecutors and Congress have tools to investigate misconduct. The public’s job is to demand that those tools be used independently and consistently and to press for transparency, consequences and reforms when they are not. If both parties are suspect, then neither should be allowed to investigate itself without scrutiny. AW

Republicans have just suffered a brutal set of midterm losses, and the finger-pointing has begun in full view.

Pete Hegseth is reportedly on the chopping block, with some Republicans blaming him and the fallout from the Iran war for their losses. Charlie Kirk’s widow is urging conservatives to toughen up after the beating they took. Even Whoopi Goldberg is telling Democrats to stop celebrating and get to work. And Kamala Harris is calling on her party to be ruthless with the power voters have handed them.

That tells us something. When one side is being urged to press its advantage while the other is consumed by blame, the fight may be lost before it begins.

One Republican who bucked the blue wave acknowledged that the party had two difficult years and said affordability and corruption were the top reasons voters turned away. That is a significant admission. Voters rejected a party that failed to convince them it understood the pressures of groceries, rent and gas.

So the question is simple: Will Republicans spend the next year learning how to speak to working people about the cost of living, or keep chasing headlines while Democrats organize and press their advantage? One path offers a chance to win back voters. The other risks repeating the same losses. AW

Gavin Newsom has announced plans to commute the death sentences of all 548 people on California’s death row, changing their sentences to life without the possibility of parole. The commutations are not all final: 382 require approval from the California Supreme Court.

Among those affected is Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped and murdered 12-year-old Polly Klaas in 1993. Her father, Marc Klaas, has spent decades confronting the consequences of that crime. He has said the prospect of Davis’s sentence being commuted is deeply painful. Davis would remain in prison for life; he would not be released.

Newsom says capital punishment is “incompatible with California’s values” and has cited what he sees as the limits of what government can justly accomplish.

Yet this decision raises a difficult question: How should a governor’s clemency power weigh against the judgments of juries and courts and the will of voters, who rejected efforts to repeal the death penalty in 2012 and 2016? California has not executed anyone since 2006, and Newsom imposed a moratorium on executions in 2019. This move would take his opposition to capital punishment a major step further, without putting the question back to https://t.co/3JZvREPWwm
