@bethanyshondark The risk of a sleepover is not worth your kids one night of “happiness”. Their safety is more important than their happiness in every situation, period.

“Charlie Kirk, how do you want to be remembered?”

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.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

Charlie was the best of us.

[James O'Keefe @JamesOKeefeIII]

O'Keefe team at HQ is all standing unified and lifting Charlie Kirk up in prayer right now.

And he needs your prayers.

[Conservative From a Liberal State - Virginia @CFLSVA]

Praying for Charlie 🙏🏻

The American media is getting people killed and justifying it.

[Chris Pratt @prattprattpratt]

Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God’s grace. God help us.

@smalltown_wife @annamlulis I rather be married to my husband money or not. I’m sure she feels the same. I stay at home to homeschool our 3 (and growing) children. You couldn’t pay me to quit.

That’s what will change the culture. Raising these children right.

[Conservative From a Liberal State - Virginia @CFLSVA]

@kirikoukimbo @annamlulis Looks like a family to me!!! More fathers in the home regardless of race.

@noahherbenstein @herejustfortren @Femanonymously @UncivilZ0mbie This was a 2021 conversation. Do you want to talk about Biden’s record now? I have many examples of his failure metallurgy and politically.

[Conservative From a Liberal State - Virginia @CFLSVA]

@noahherbenstein @Protogenes1 So you are relying on your subjective opinion. Something being “old” doesn’t mean it’s not relative.

What about Trumps assault accusations? Do you believe thats old?

[Conservative From a Liberal State - Virginia @CFLSVA]

@noahherbenstein @Protogenes1 And this was 2021 yet you seem to agree.

Don Lemon is patently lying here.

USAID funneled money to BLM.

USAID funded the destruction of our cities.

On the one hand, you guys are livid about aviation involvement from about a dude who builds 20-story rockets and catches them as they come back to earth. On the other hand, you cheer a transportation secretary who couldn't fill potholes in South Bend but is gay and loves trains.

Well I suppose you could try to make a case in court, but since the states havent certified their elections, it might be difficult to estsblish standing. After the certification, you might have standing but unfortunately a court cannot overrule an act of the legislature. You could potentially try to gather a slate of alternate electors, but the Congress is under no obligation to accept them. At that point you'd probably have to appeal to the Supreme Court, but that's tough since they dont want to be in the business of deciding elections. Then all that's left really is good old fashioned right of assembly for a redress of grievances, ie a march. January 6 is when the VP certifies the election officially and that's probably the time you will want to aim for to acheive maximum public impact. Good luck!
