Jimmy Kimmel getting fired is not the greatest attack on free speech we’ve ever seen.
Charlie Kirk being murdered on national TV by a radicalized leftist who didn’t like the things Charlie said is the greatest attack on free speech we’ve ever seen.
@TuckerCNews Over the last week I’ve actually wished I could hear what Charlie would say about this. I think the kneejerk reaction is anger and a desire for vengeance but I have a feeling that’s not what Charlie would tell us. He’d probably want us to pray for the conversion of their hearts.
Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
They just shot Charlie Kirk.
A married young man and father, who stands on college campuses and encourages young people to get married, have children, stop abortion, and simply live a life for God.
I’m praying that he survives.
And I’m praying that this country rises up and ends this.
My fear of driving over bridges since my illness in 2013 has really made me feel trapped in many ways. I wonder if @elonmusk’s Tesla that drives itself is the key to freedom. I think I should test out the theory for @Tesla. Let’s collab! My anxiety, your car? 🤣
#Opry100 was a beautiful tribute to all the greatest country music artists of our time. It was so refreshing to be entertained for the sake of appreciating talent, without any politics. Thank you country music!
@IvankaNews_ Who cares? Until you struggle like my family has over the last four years to make ends meet in a dismal economy, your feelings on the matter mean nothing. All these spoiled, privileged, celebrities have no idea what the majority of Americans are feeling.
The Apalachee High School shooter, Colt Gray, is said to be gay and had expressed frustration about trans kids not being accepted.
His parents lived seperately.
He lived with his father.
His two siblings lived with his mother.
She had a rap sheet, mostly for drug-related crimes.
His Aunt said Colt had mental issues that he had unsuccessfully sought help for.
His neighbor said there were times when Colt’s mother locked the children out on the porch, and despite their continual banging on the door and screams to let them in, she ignored their cries.
The neighbor also said that there were times the children came to her door saying they were hungry, begging for food.
The FBI visited the father’s home in 2023 after local tips claimed Colt planned to take a gun to school and engage in a school shooting.
The father said his guns were locked-up and inaccessible to Colt without supervision, and he promised to not let his son have access to a weapon.
For Christmas, 2023, Colt’s father bought his son an AR-15, a direct violation of his FBI agreement.
This was the weapon used in the school shooting.
The father was arraigned in court today, shortly after his son’s arraignment.
He’s facing a potential 82 years in prison for a myriad of crimes associated with the shooting spree and murders.
14 year-old Colt is facing life without parole, life with parole or the death penalty, (although death is off the table since underage children are not allowed to be put to death regardless of whether they’re charged as adults or not.)
Here is, yet, another sad, tragic tale of a troubled child who slipped through the cracks.
He sought help, but never found it.
He lived in a dysfunctional home.
He had made prior threats and was known to the authorities.
The signs were there.
Students in his class knew.
His family knew.
The FBI knew.
His parents knew.
Yet, here we are.
There is no new gun control measure that would’ve prevented this tragedy.
However, as a future deterrent, parents or guardians in all 50 states should uniformly be held responsible if their underage children gain access to their weapon, (regardless of type,) and harm someone or commit a crime with the weapon.
The laws currently vary state-to-state.
Making that change would be a good step.
