On the antifragile Charlie Kirk influence: Tonight my 23 yo son came home from a long day of being an electrician apprentice then trade school. Out the door at 5:30 am back home at 8 pm . Showered. Ate dinner. Did push ups. Sat next to me and prayed aloud for Charlie’s family for 10 minutes without prompting. Listened to two worship songs including “Rise up O men of God.” Watched a short talk by Charlie while eating. Hugged me and said “I need to be like Charlie. God help me.” Went to bed. Something is happening with young men. Burn like fire. Pour like rain.
There is now no doubt (as if there was any doubt) that this was a targeted political assassination by a leftist militant who had been radicalized by left wing propaganda. Political violence is nearly exclusively a left wing problem. It is a tool of their trade.
Every healthcare professional & teacher that celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination must lose their jobs.
They cannot be trusted with patients or children.
Imagine how they would treat your loved ones that they disagree with.
Phoenix Air Traffic Control sends a message to Charlie Kirk after landing in Arizona.
"Welcome home, Charlie. You didn’t deserve it. May God bless your family."
The world lost a great man.
It is NOT a "both sides" issue.
No assassination attempts on Biden.
No assassination attempts on Kamala.
No assassination attempts on AOC.
No assassination attempts on any other prominent voice on the political left.
No violence from pro-Israeli crowds.
No arrests on the pro-Israeli side.
No calls for death or murder of those who oppose the pro-Israeli side.
Those who oppose gender ideology do not call for the death of those who disagree with them.
Those who oppose movements like BLM did not call for the death of those who took part in the BLM riots.
Social media is not flooded with videos from those on the right celebrating the deaths of those on the left or wishing harm upon them.
It is not a "both sides" issue.
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.
When the truth comes out, and it will come out, people are going to see the full picture. This young man came from a family that understood right from wrong. His own parents turned him in. That is not the story of a family without morals. That is the story of a family doing what is right, no matter how painful.
And when it is revealed that he was radicalized by a school system that no longer teaches children how to think but tells them what to think… when it is exposed that they are trained to believe anyone who disagrees with them is a “fascist”… then this nation will have to face a reckoning. Because what has been done to our children is nothing short of catastrophic.
We are raising generations poisoned by ideology instead of anchored in truth. We are watching classrooms become factories of resentment and rage. And now the fruit of that indoctrination is spilling out into our streets in the form of violence.
If the adults in the room do not rise up now, if parents, leaders, and communities do not reclaim our schools and fight for our children, then the future that lies ahead is darker than anyone wants to imagine. What is happening in our education system is an abomination. To deny that is to deny reality itself. And if we refuse to confront it, then the violence we have just seen will not be the end. It will be the beginning.
Charlie Kirk lived and died for the truth. And it is now incumbent on every single one of us to do the same. To learn how to debate the other side the way he did, to speak the truth with clarity and conviction, and to win people over one by one. Because if we do not rise to that challenge, if we do not carry forward the example Charlie set, then the darkness will consume this country.
Conservatives say that guns are for sport, hunting, and self defense because that’s what they use them for.
Liberals say that guns are for killing people because that’s what they use them for.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
The last 24 hours has changed me.
I’m sick to my stomach.
The amount of hate emanating from these people is something I’ve never seen before.
Our country is sick. America is sick.
Our education system is a cancer.
