Thank you Rep. @MontyFritts4TN for authoring the Charlie Kirk Memorial Courtyard Act to honor Charlie's legacy by encouraging a new generation of Americans to step into the public square, defend their convictions, and participate in the conversations that sustain our republic.
You literally sicced the IRS on the Tea Party. It was you who first broke the norm of weaponizing government against your political opponents in the modern era.
My heart is filled with sorrow.
I had some nice dialogue with Charlie, he instantly felt like an older much wiser brother even though he was younger than me. He was always trying to include me to come speak at his events.
I don’t think he knew how hard public speaking is for me. My whole body shakes, my mind goes into survival mode & my voice quivers. I much prefer writing, fighting, acting & interviews in intimate settings. But alas, Charlie did find out how hard public speaking is for me in Vegas last year.
I had originally just wanted to support Tulsi who was doing an event with the Common Kings in Vegas. I wanted to support her & be there for her, maybe just announce her or be backstage with her. Then Turning Point got involved & before you knew it, rumors that President Trump would be speaking swirled and came true.
Of course I tried to back out once I realized they wanted me to speak. But Tulsi wasn’t having it. She gently encouraged me. So I decided to just write out my speech on paper & read it.
The night came & I had missed my spot in the speaking line up because I was back stage taking a picture with President Trump who had 100’s of people he was taking pictures with before he went on to speak.
I ran back to the stage & there were only Charlie & Tulsi left to speak before Trump would take the stage. I had the 6 pages in my hands, the lady on the stage seemed rushed & I looked at Charlie and said, “No it’s ok, I’m not good at public speaking, don’t worry about me.” He calmly looked at me & said, “Gina, they hear from me all the time, they need to hear from you. How many pages do you have?” I told him 6. The lady on the stage said, “Do you think you could keep it to 3 minutes please?” But Charlie kept eye contact with me & said, “Take my time, go out there & say what you need to say.”
He gave me so much strength in that moment, my body shaking, I went out & summed up my 6 page speech to whatever I could muster. I was so proud I did it. It was short & sweet, the pages went out the window. I wanted to do it for my hometown, in front of my family, for my country. I felt I needed to & Charlie made sure I did.
As soon as I walked behind the curtain I collapsed into Charlie’s chest. He held me for a few moments as I stabilized & then he walked out to give his speech. The lady who helped me off stage said, “oh my gosh you’re shaking!”
I went back to my seat & sat with my mom & dad who were beaming with pride, I was still shaking. People patted me on my back & gave me hugs, the whole crowd knew I was nervous but it was ok. They cheered me on louder than most of the other speakers my dad said but of course he’d say that. ☺️ Sure felt that way. The audience saw my vulnerability & rooted for me. That was the atmosphere of this lovely crowd of people. And that was who Charlie was. He helped me conquer something that day. And since then I have gotten better when a microphone is handed to me.
Charlie helped so many find their voices. He put the microphone in people’s hands, to be heard, to ask questions, to learn how to communicate. He was teaching us how to communicate.
I am in complete awe of his bravery. He could’ve easily just stayed comfortable & been with his wife & children right now but he saw the need of keeping dialogue going & he risked his life everytime he went out there.
He was a graceful genius with a heart for the Lord and he followed his calling.
I am so happy Charlie is with the Lord now. He truly was the best of us & without a doubt the bravest. They took his body but they cannot take his spirit. I mourn for his wife, children & loved ones with my full heart & soul. God be with them.
I am struggling with positivity as evil is rearing its ugly head. If I wasn’t so exhausted from sorrow I would be more enraged. My head is torturing me on repeat as I see Charlie shot & the blood gushing. All I can do right now is pray for justice & peace.
God bless you Charlie Kirk. We will not forget you. ✝️
With less than 24 hours notice, thousands showed up in person & online tonight @MercyCulture to pray for America, the Kirk family, & for REVIVAL!
THE CHURCH IS ALIVE! THE SOLUTION IS JESUS! THE MOVEMENT HAS STARTED! 🔥
It should be noted that Charlie Kirk’s wife was equally brave for supporting her husband’s mission despite the daily threats against her family. Erika shaped his final years, made him into the man he wanted to be. She knew the risks and supported him in his mission. She deserves so much gratitude and support as she is suffering the greatest loss today and for the rest of her life. Please God, comfort and strengthen this young family.
@NonlinearSum@SammyRArmstrong First of all, this is an Ai image and has about 32 inaccuracies for “real Amish”. But also, Amish have to all wear the same hats and bonnets (and I mean EXACTLY the same) or they would get excommunicated. Church rules.
It is funny how the entire left cannot stop making Nazi comparisons about absolutely every mundane thing (driving in cars, holding a rally at MSG) but made a carve out for elite enclave IVF eugenics
On today’s show, I sit down with @DaniBPinter, the attorney for the American witness in the Romanian sex trafficking case against Andrew & Tristan Tate.
She shares shocking details.
She also addresses the soft ball interviews of Tate by Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens & more.
Life is complicated.
Putin is the aggressor in the current war, and countries wanting to align with NATO in no way justifies his invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine is a corrupt state, which in no way justifies its destruction by Russia.
Zelensky is a corrupt clown with poor manners, but he acted heroically in the months following the invasion of his country by a superior force.
America does have an interest in deterring Russian aggression in Europe.
This war would not have started if Trump had been president.
This war would not have started if America, NATO, or a European coalition had moved trip-wire troops into Ukraine or initiated a no-fly-zone over the country in 2021 (instead of Joe Biden saying he was okay with a small invasion...).
Ukraine cannot win the war without America.
Zelensky missed his best opportunity for peace over two years ago.
Zelensky is missing his second best opportunity for peace right now.
Zelensky is a fool for campaigning in the US Presidential election and for being disrespectful to his largest patron.
America's interests intersect with Ukraine's, but are distinct.
The war must end.
You can disagree with any one of these points, but for the most part, people are just barking partisan talking points and pretending there is no complexity to a war that has probably killed 1.5M people and implicates the entire West and the two largest nuclear powers on Earth.
