This is a truly amazing new tool for tracking the bills moving through the Idaho Legislature! I already showed it to another politics-connected friend yesterday, and he was floored. Thank you to @gemstatebrief for this incredible work! 🔥

🚨BOMBSHELL: Marine Scout Sniper Analyzes 4 Angles of Charlie Kirk Assassination Footage —MUZZLE FLASH Seen Proves FBI's Narrative is a LIE! Shot Came from REAR RIGHT, Not Front Roof! 😱

My mind is blown — this video from a former Marine scout sniper with 5 years experience and ballistics teaching background dissects the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 11, 2025, at a Utah university event. He starts with a clean slate, assuming nothing from the FBI, who he says routinely lies, and focuses purely on ballistics from multiple camera views.

What’s in the video (detailed breakdown):

• He maps out four camera angles around Kirk, showing the bullet streak visible in frames from Camera 1, proving trajectory from behind and right, not the front roof where officials claim the shooter was positioned.

• Debunks body armor claims: What looks like a hit on armor is actually Kirk's earpiece and mic cord reacting to the shockwave, demonstrated with his own similar setup; entry wound low on right side, exit on left neck, causing immediate blood and no armor bulge.

• Clears "white hat guy" (Frank Turek, apologetics author): Phone reflection isn't bullet but a military-grade infrared laser sight (850nm range) from the real shooter, visible only on camera, not naked eye; dot moves up phone screen then Kirk is hit split-second later.

• Spots muzzle flash in background: Single-frame white dot in top left of footage, timed 8-10 frames before impact, suggesting vapor trail and confirming alternative shooter location for a smaller caliber round (possibly 9mm or 5.56, not 30-06).

• Explains wound ballistics: Temporary cavity from hit at base of ear/jaw pulls cord, flips earpiece; exit wound gushes blood on shirt instantly, inconsistent with entry; likely instant kill via spine/brain base, not blood loss.

Whether this changes everything or sparks more questions, it's a must-watch for anyone doubting the official lone shooter story in this politically charged killing. Hit play, analyze for yourself, and share to expose the truth! 👀🔁

.@MrsErikaKirk just shared this on her IG 🥺🙏🏼

“You loved witnessing excellence.
It's why you loved sports so much. You loved watching the best of the best perform at the level of greatness God intended for them.

When we first started dating, we went to the basketball court to shoot around. I loved seeing you in that element because time was irrelevant. It was just us, the sound of sneakers squeaking and jump shots. We bonded over how Jordan was the GOAT and you told me about your basketball days in high school and I told you about my basketball days in college. Just two athletes escaping the demands of the world for a minute.

I remember seeing on your wrist a red bracelet. You never took it off, it said "work harder, be better." And everyday you did just that. Years later, one day after an event on campus a student asked you about your bracelet, and you gave it to them. I have no idea who that student was or where they are today, but l have no doubt they're working harder and being better, because you set the tone.

This is one of the last photos taken of you before you were murdered. I look at it and can't help but see excellence. You're in your element. You're in athlete mode. Training for this exact moment, mind, body, and soul. To me, this is your "Jordan" photo. Permanently etched in time, held in my heart, as I admire your greatness. Forever.

I pray you've had the most amazing week in Heaven @charliekirk11 I love you.”

@Pastor_ChrisH @jonharris1989 I’m in the same boat. Our paster didn’t mention one thing about the assassination of CK. Today was my last Sunday attending that church.

[Joshua Haymes @haymes_joshua]

If your pastor didn’t mention Charlie Kirk (a modern Christian martyr) today, it’s time to find a new church IMO.

[Mark Rust @MarkRust421]

@niceblackdude Nope and I’m leaving.

One of our most attended Sunday services ever this morning.

People are hungry for hope, sanity, and direction.

They are hungry for someone to stand up and tell the simple truth, plainly and directly and without apology.

Pray fervently for many to turn to Christ in the tumult.

[Caleb Cook @FerrinsThoughts]

People are allowed to say terrible things in this country, that’s part of free speech. And those terrible things are protected* from legal or violent consequences.

But they absolutely are NOT protected from social consequences. If someone wants to celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death, they are free to do that. We also are free to do everything in our power to get them fired, to refuse to serve them at our businesses, to utterly exclude them from our social circles, and to generally ostracize them from society. Freedom goes both ways.

*Direct calls for violence, fighting words, libel, etc. notwithstanding

Imagine being his father.

Knowing what your son did to an innocent man and to the country. Knowing your son will rightfully face the death penalty for an unspeakable atrocity.

And despite this, you are the one to make your son turn himself in, even driving him to the station, while contemplating where your parenting went wrong.

It must have been the most difficult moment in the father's life. But he did the right thing.

[Brian Sauvé @Brian_Sauve]

I'll be preaching this Sunday on Ecclesiastes 3:1–8.

A Time to Hate. A Time for War.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Good men must die, but death can't kill their names.

@NickJFreitas Well said.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

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.
