My grandfather said he’d never move into a retirement home.
He said, “Too expensive… and the food tastes like someone boiled sadness.”

Instead, he checked into a beachfront hotel.
We asked, “Grandpa, isn’t that even more expensive?”

He smiled and said, “Not really.
At the retirement home, I’d pay $200 a day for cold meatloaf and no visitors.
But here? For $150 a day, I get ocean views, room service, fresh towels, a pool…
…and suddenly all my grandkids remember I exist every weekend.”

Then he leaned back in his chair and delivered the final line like a mob boss:
“And if I die in the hotel lobby, the manager will actually look disappointed.
But at the nursing home? They just call it Tuesday.”

Dear @MrsErikaKirk
Honestly, I didn’t feel the need to make a big post or comment about your attendance at the correspondents’ dinner. Where you go or what you do isn’t really something I focus on unless it has a direct impact on things I care about. That said, there’s a pattern that’s hard to ignore, whenever you’re called out for something people perceive as inappropriate, your response tends to be to insult your critics or position yourself as above them, while dismissing others as malicious. At some point, it may be worth recognizing a simpler reality. Many people just don’t like you. And that’s their right. People are free to form their own opinions, even when those opinions aren’t favorable.

Maybe you genuinely don’t see what you’re doing wrong and maybe the criticism you receive feels completely unfair. But have you ever taken a moment to ask yourself, - What part am I playing in this? If you truly aren’t doing anything wrong, then why do the reactions you get seem so consistently at odds with what you expect?

Guess what, there could be a hundred Candaces in the world criticizing you and it still wouldn’t move people unless what they’re saying actually resonates. People don’t just fall for narratives that easily especially today. You cannot force someone to see something they fundamentally don’t see or don’t believe. That kind of influence is incredibly difficult to manufacture just ask the CIA they will tell you all about it.

Quick history lesson, even organizations like the CIA with billions in funding, massive infrastructure, coordinated networks and thousands of operatives have had to invest enormous effort over long periods to shape public perception in any meaningful way. And even then, results are never guaranteed. So the idea that one commentator (Or two or three) no matter how skilled, can single-handedly turn people against you just doesn’t hold up.

The reaction you’re getting isn’t because of Candace, it’s because of you. Your own actions are what people respond to. That’s the uncomfortable reality, wake up to it already, I say this with no hate. At some point, you have to stop deflecting and ask yourself an honest question: why does this keep happening to me? Why do people consistently react this way? We’re not living in North Korea, people are allowed to form and express opinions freely and as long as America is America they will do just that, it is their right, just like it is yours to be unhappy about it. Dismissing all criticism as manipulation avoids the real issue here.

And let’s be clear: you’re not some untouchable public figure in the mold of Jacqueline Kennedy. That comparison doesn’t land the way you think it does. Whoever told you, you could be her is not your friend, get rid of him/her. Curve your own path. Again I don’t say this to be disrespectful.

This isn’t coming from a place of hate, not at all, it’s frustration. A lot of people are tired of the constant back-and-forth, the blame-shifting and the refusal to reflect. You are clearly bothered by all of this, but I don’t see you saying, ''Oh, you know what? These people don’t like me no matter what I do. It’s so unfair, but maybe I should step out of the limelight for a while and see if things change. So it doesn’t hurt the company.''

No, instead, you come out and you have no problem attending parties, dinners and opening events with Nicki Minaj, holding hands, even though your husband clearly didn’t like her. I’m guessing he didn’t like her because most of her songs start with a dick and end with a pussy, or one inside the other (should I tag the songs?). I’m sorry for the expression, but it’s not mine, it is the woman’s you chose to have on stage next to you. Then, at that same event, you’re going to mention the Lord like 50 times and have a literal former stripper speaking in front of students about how they should live. Then you go ahead and criticize the students and everyone else who judge you for this. Do you see the problem?

As Leo Tolstoy wrote, ''All happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'' And while you can understand it as - everyone grieves differently, the point he made was actually much simpler, dysfunction is usually self-generated and unique in its causes. And if Tolstoy were around today, he might put it even more bluntly: no one creates their own problems quite like you do…

I assume you’ve seen my post, most people have, so you’re aware that my opinion of you is far from favorable. That said, in my capacity as a journalist, I haven’t made a habit of targeting you or spending weeks analyzing your every move, event, or speech. I only comment on matters where you have influence over issues I care deeply about. Quite frankly, I’m not extremely interested in you, especially when our country is facing serious challenges.

But what’s actually concerning to me is watching you come out and double down on claims that are demonstrably false. Saying things like, ''Candace Owens is accusing me of murdering my husband,'' or that people who criticize you are evil or something similar, this is simply not accurate. She has not accused you of murder. Not publicly anyway. So why say it?

Because you're reframing the criticism into something more extreme than it is. You’re acting as if anyone who questions you must believe you were involved in your husband’s death and that they must be all evil, while you must be a constant victim of this supposed malice. That’s not what’s being said here at all.

Let’s be clear:
The issue people have with you is different, it’s behavioral, not criminal. I’ve described you as a person exhibiting traits of psychopathy and I stand by that as my opinion. Again I’m allowed to have one, just like you are allowed to disrespect it. I’m not saying this to be cruel, I mean it seriously. Psychopathy reflect something deeply complex and very difficult to deal with in life, not something trivial so trust me when I say, I do not say this with hate at all. It ’s a simple observation.

You may disagree, that is your right. And it is my right to expressing my opinion on a public figure that has made herself a target by refusing to leave the spotlight and cameras even when she gets a negative feedback constantly. Constantly!

And to be precise, if you go back to what @RealCandaceO actually said, her claim was that she intends to prove that something is off about you. She did not say she intends to prove you killed your husband. Those are two completely different arguments and conflating them only distorts what’s actually being discussed. It also should be noted that Charlie Kirk’s investigation is ongoing for Candace and for most of us, and the “Charlie’s Bride” series Candace produced is separate from that ongoing investigation. That is why it is placed separately as an 8-episode series on her YouTube. It is a standalone thing. I kindly invite you to check it out.

So to put it plainly, someone could lose a spouse in a completely unrelated event, like a car accident and still face criticism if their behavior afterward appears detached, performative, or inconsistent with what most people understand as grief. Being criticized for how you act is not the same as being accused of murder. And if Charlie had died in a car accident and you behaved the way you are behaving now, the reaction would be the same (I can speak for myself her). So no, this is not about Charlie or Candace, it’s about you. People are questioning your behavior and what it suggests about your character. That’s the real issue, not murder.

You can keep saying that everyone grieves differently, but apparently this nation and others as well has never seen anyone grieve the way you do that is why they keep talking about it. So maybe you should take a step back and reflect. When millions of people (And they are in millions, this is why it got to the point where it bothers you and your organization) are telling you something feels off, you don’t lash out. You take time to ask yourself why people perceive you that way, especially if you believe that perception is absolutely incorrect. That’s the mature response. Rolling your eyes at people and calling them names isn’t the answer, especially if you want a public career or hope to lead others.

And if you don’t want that scrutiny, then walk away. The spotlight is not for everybody. Or take an example from your husband, who was a warrior, he handled it perfectly. He faced being hated all the time and he still engaged them and accepted them he didn’t tell them to shut up. If he thought people who criticized him were evil, he wouldn’t be sitting in front of them trying to understand their point and help them.

You have the money, you’re taken care of thanks to Charlie. If the spotlight is a burden, step aside and let someone else take on the role, someone the public will accept. If you do that, you’ll likely be forgotten in six months and you won’t have to deal with criticism anymore. You will be able to finally live privately, attend events all day long and no one will care.

But when you say that 'evil people won’t stop you from having it all or what your husband built for you or whatever idea is driving your actions and you say you’ll continue regardless of what people think, great, good for you - but then you should expect people to do exactly that: THINK. And their opinions may not align with what you want. That’s life. Get over it.

You claimed you attended the dinner not to mingle with influential people or enjoy the spotlight, but to meet some journalists who have written negatively about you, to put faces to names. Well, let’s put a face to the name. I’m ready to sit down with you any day, at your convenience, even in your own studio if you prefer. You’re not the only one who values being direct. So here I am, willing to have a genuine conversation. The offer stands. No hate, no disrespect. Just a difference of opinion. Let’s see if what you say is true.

And if you can’t handle an interview with someone who disagrees with you and doesn’t like you,then that’s fine. I totally understand that. Not everyone can do what Charlie did - engaging directly with critics instead of avoiding them.

In that case, you can always put a face to a name in Utah court. Come see me in court, where your husband’s supposed killer is on trial, I'm always there. I suggest you bring a pre-prepared lunch, it can be an absolutely grueling ordeal. Sometimes it goes on for 6+ hours with only 15-minute breaks, with no time to go out and eat. But we sit through it because it’s important. It’s Charlie Kirk!

We are interested in who killed Charlie Kirk and whether we have the right guy and if we do, we want to see that the process goes exactly how it should. So yes, you can find me there. I haven’t seen you even once, not once attending the hearing. Maybe one day you can show up. I bet it will help with the criticism part of things :)).

You said you like directness, so do I. So here you go. I’ll leave my invitation open for you to sit down with me.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

John O’Keefe was not hit by a car. This is an indisputable statement of fact.

John O’Keefe is a homicide victim, whose body was found on Brian Albert’s front lawn. This is an indisputable statement of fact.

John Okeefe hit his head on a rigid surface, causing a 2 inch gash on the back of his head, and his right arm was bit by a dog. These are indisputable facts.

The people inside Brian Albert’s house were never treated as potential suspects, and many of them were never even interviewed. Those who were had hours alone together to get their story straight. They never came out of the house to help, and didn’t offer their home up to first responders throughout the day. None of them saw his huge body 10 feet away from the curb when they drove by him. None of them were checked for scratches, bruises, or cuts. They sold the home that was never searched, but only after they were accused of being involved in the murder in court filings. The aggressive dog slept through the whole thing and then they got rid of her. They got rid of their phones the day before a preservation order. They called each other when they were sleeping and blamed it on butt dials. They butt answered during sexual intercourse. They monitored police activity and directed each other to stick to the story that the guy never came in the house. They called and answered calls at 5:07, 6:07, and 6:08 when they were sleeping. They never went to bed and were awake at 4:30 AM after a night of drinking. They moved suspicious bags from car to car at the police station at 2 AM while drunk. They coached Kerry Roberts through a timeline and lied to her so much that she repeated those lies to the grand jury. They explained boxing scars by lying under oath about falling on ice and bracing themselves with fists. Chris Albert’s testimony destroyed his son’s timeline and proved that he lied. They offered bribes to the lead detective who never questioned their son, who was in his sisters wedding party. They never spoke to the most important non-house defendant witness - the plow driver - until I made them. They left the house in a blizzard to do their unrecorded interviews across town. They didn’t find any taillight until 3 guys Lt OHarra didn’t recognize started to help them search. They Googled “how long to die in cold” at 2:27 AM when it made no logical sense to google that unless they were plotting to murder someone, and then erased that google search. They made sure that an innocent woman was arrested, and then they pressured the DA to arrest an innocent man for doing what the police wouldn’t and investigate this murder properly.

Karen Read did not and could not have killed John Okeefe, which means someone else did. We all know who did it Steve. The jury that acquitted her knew. We all know.

FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow War Fighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Great post acquittal moment here. @MazzaMedia has raised close to $100k for Kelsey’s legal defense fund. Her family is ecstatic.

Not Guilty.

Kelsey Fitzsimmons not guilty on all counts.

[Bederow Law @Bederowlaw]

I can confidently state that in almost 30 years of practice, the cross examination of Kelsey Fitzsimmons was 100%, unequivocally the worst I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning. There is no basis whatsoever to find her guilty. None.
