Years ago, I knew someone who claimed that a young man killed in a motorcycle accident had been her boyfriend. She told everyone she was devastated, quit her job, and made his death the defining story of her life. I believed her initially.
Later, I learned the truth.
They had never actually dated. He had pursued her briefly, but they were never a couple. In fact, before his death, she had told mutual friends that he annoyed her and that he was a loser.
Thereās a term for this: grief appropriation. Itās when someone inserts themselves into another personās tragedy, elevating themselves into a central figure in a loss when, in reality, they played only a minor role in that personās life.
Often, thereās a secondary gain. In her case, it was attention. It gave her a reason to quit a job she didnāt want, receive sympathy, and continue being financially supported by her parents. She even tried to enter his bedroom to collect personal belongings she claimed he āwould have wanted her to have.ā
She genuinely believed she was entitled to them.
The story became more elaborate over time. The more she invested in it, the more convinced she became that they were soulmates and that she was one of the primary victims of his death.
Meanwhile, his real family was left to deal with the confusion and additional pain her behavior created. His parents had lost a son. His siblings had lost a brother. Instead of allowing them to grieve, she made herself another person they had to manage.
Thatās one of the cruelest parts of grief appropriation. It doesnāt just rewrite the past. It competes with the people whose grief is actually rooted in reality.
I share this because I see striking similarities in Candace Owensā attempts to position herself as the guardian of Charlie Kirkās legacy. Charlie has a real widow. He has real children who will grow up without their father. He has parents, a sister, lifelong friends, and colleagues who are carrying an unimaginable loss.
When someone elevates themselves into the center of another personās tragedy, they arenāt honoring that personās memory. Theyāre appropriating it. And in the process, they often make an already devastating loss even harder for the people who loved that person most.
šØ VP JD Vance has the FULL constitutional authority as President of the Senate to overrule the Democrat-linked Parliamentarian.
It's time to use it.
Bills like SAVE America shouldn't be blocked by unelected bureaucrats.
Sen. Mike Lee and Scott Presler are right, any means necessary to deliver for the American people.
The last time a VP did this was 1975.
2026 is the perfect time for the next one.
šØ BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee just amplified the fact that Vice President JD VANCE has the FULL AUTHORITY to overrule the Democrat-linked Senate Parliamentarian
SCOTT PRESLER: "There will come a time that Vice President Vance needs to overrule the parliamentarian. Itās within his authority to do so." š„
JD is President of the Senate.
She is a HUGE roadblock to passing bills like SAVE America! Thune should just fire her.
This would be a MONUMENTAL move: The last time a sitting VP ā the President of the Senate ā over ruled the parliamentarian was in 1975
Any means necessary! @BasedMikeLee@ScottPresler
This is everywhere you use google maps history before Gavin Newsom and after Gavin Newsom on any street it is like the plague of hell holes he caused with bad policies
Iām going to blow your mind. Are you ready? Hold on tight!
Dr. Oz and Nick Shirley just walked a single block in NYC and found double-digit pharmacies.
Dr. Oz: āI donāt think you could go anywhere in America and think this was normal unless there was a cash cow business feeding it.ā
Nick Shirley: āAll these people need is a medical beneficiary number, and that is worth more than any credit card that a senior can give anybody.ā
Dr. Oz: āSome of the drugs in these pharmacies cost more than a car. Think about that.ā
What the hell is actually going on here?
Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members.
Nick: āThis public document says you have 7,899 members.ā
Employee: āNo, we donāt have 7,000 members.ā
Nick: āSo youāre overbilling then? Youāre getting paid $1,600 per patient ā thatās how you got $12.9 million in 2024.ā
Employee: āPlease leave.ā
American taxpayer dollars at work.
šØ Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up.
EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.
@TheKevinDalton It is clear as day, that the current government regime is knowingly creating a state of despair. This is an agenda, set in motion decades ago. An agenda to overthrow our Republic and create a āone world governmentā. Much like āHunger Gamesā.
@TheKevinDalton Newscums California abused, discriminated, stole our innocent daughter for medical mutilation experiments and kicked us our keeping her and our home as hostages.

-3 million people were deported under Obama (most without seeing a judge)
-50 ICE shootings from 2015-2021
-50 detainees died in ICE custody under Obama
No moral outrage.
No riots.
So spare us the BULLSHlT!!
You're only upset because you were TOLD to be upset!!
If Republicans do not demand full transparency from the Senate & our govāt on the state of Senator McConnellās health, then we are no better than when the democrats covered up Bidenās cognitive decline for years.
I mean this with the utmost respect & wish Senator McConnell well.
Trump is officially playing hardball.
Refuses to sign the housing bill until voter ID is passed.
The line in the sand has been drawn so itās time for Thune to stop being a buffoon.
Statement on behalf of the Kirk Family:
The conclusion of the preliminary hearing marks an important step forward in the pursuit of justice for Charlie. Our family is grateful for the prayers, support, and kindness that has been extended to us, especially through these unimaginably painful and emotionally demanding proceedings.
As difficult as these last few days have been, it brings our family comfort to know that the world has witnessed the overwhelming evidence of what occurred to Charlie that day.
Nothing will ever undo the loss of our beloved Charlie. As this case moves into its next phase, we pray that truth will continue to be heard through a process that is fair, transparent, and grounded in the facts.
URGENT: The "Stop Nick Shirley Act" advances to the CA Senate!
This unconstitutional bill targets citizen journalists who expose fraud involving taxpayer-funded Left-wing groups.
WATCH ā then contact your state senator and demand a NO vote!
Now that Seth Rich is back in the news, letās revisit how it all ties in to CrowdStrike, UKRAINE, and RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA
How did Trump Know?
š“ TRUMP #1
⢠āI still ask the FBI, where is the Server? How come the FBI never got the server from the DNC? Whereās the server? I want to see the server?
āThe server, they say, is held by a company whose private ownership is from UKRAINE!ā
https://t.co/CnCQi43Zun
š“ TRUMP #2
⢠āitās very interesting, they have the server from the DNC. The FBI went in and told them āGet out of Here. Weāre not giving it to youā They gave the server to CROWDSTRIKE, or whatever itās called. Which is a company owned by a very wealthy Ukrainian [Oligarch].ā Why did they give it to a Ukrainian company? (CROWDSTRIKE). https://t.co/zntjCGMSAw
š“ COMEY
⢠Were you given access to do the forensics on those servers?
āā Comey: We were not. A highly respected private company got access and shared with us (FBI) what they saw there.
In a nutshell⦠The DNC would not give access to their servers to the FBI or John Podestaās devices, but they would give them to CrowdStrike. https://t.co/W3QZ6OHLYE
š“ HOW IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
⢠CrowdStrike is the cyberfirm that fabricated the entire claim that Russia hacked the DNC, which created āRussiagate.ā
āā they accused Julian Assange of working with Russia.
⢠Assange never revealed who his source was, but itās widely suspected that Seth Rich was the leaker.. and they murdered him for it.
āā CrowdStrike was later discovered to be working for the Clinton campaign.
⢠FOUR YEARS LATER, CrowdStrike CEO admitted, his contract was NOT with the DNC, but instead "with Michael Sussmann from Perkins Coie." Retained by Sussman & Clinton.
⢠The entire RussiaGate Investigation began because the FBI relied on CROWDSTRIKE, rather than independently investigating the "hacked" DNC servers.
š“ How did Trump know when all intel agencies claimed otherwise?
THE GREATEST MILITARY OPERATION the World has ever Seen
Trump & the Military absolutely 100% knew what was going on and exactly where those servers were.
āā 1. this is evident when Trump admitted to setting a Trap for Nancy Pelosi and and Adam Schif by allowing them to go through with Impeachment Hoax #1. https://t.co/qulrFFTBvu
āā 2. it is evident that Trump had more than everyone thought, when The Biden Bribe Tapes Were āLeakedā ā Calls of John Kerry, Biden, and Poroshenko https://t.co/755lfrAC9J
The globalist Dems and Rinoās panicked, said Russia attacked the United States of America by attacking the DNC Serversā¦
Now all those same Globalistās canāt stop worshipping Ukraine, because theyāre protecting their own criminality. lol
š“ Letās not forget what happened In 2014. When The US effectively ran a coup and regime change
āā How The CIA, our US Gov and traitors Obama, Biden, and Nuland (+others) overthrew Ukraine's government in 2014. Nuland was caught on tape planning Ukraines new government shortly after for goodness sake. https://t.co/jqftGa0uem
š“ LETāS NOT Forget how they Panicked When Trump was Elected
⢠Just after Trump was Elected, McCain and Lindsey Graham went to Ukraine, Desperately trying to get control of Eastern Ukraine since Donald Trump was just elected. https://t.co/VZrv1HLVwr
⢠After their Trip, McCain and Lindsey Graham come home and desperately try to blame RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA https://t.co/WGy5KTThUc
Notice a pattern?
Seth Rich opens the door to Ukraine, Clinton, Obama, Biden⦠+++
