๐จ KAROLINE JUST SAID WHAT EVERYONE AROUND HIM ALREADY KNOWS
At the South Carolina rally, Karoline Leavitt stepped up and told the truth about President Trump:
โYou can call this man at 6 in the morning. You can call him at 3 in the morning. He picks up the phoneโฆ because heโs looking out for YOU.โ
Then she got personal:
โIt has been the honor of my life to serve as your White House press secretary, sir.โ
And the part the media will never run:
โI just want everyone in this room to know how hard this man works for all of you, and for every American across the country, whether theyโre Republican or Democrat.โ
These young women are heroines. They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing in women's sport. The only people who are "f*cking insane" here are those making a mockery of fair sport for women and trying to bully girls like this into silence.
Based on what the @POTUS presented this evening about our corrupt elections, the CIA and NSA directors during his first term should immediately be arrested for treason.
On this day 250 years ago, our forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer. Today, Americans will come together again as one Nation under God.
This is who we are and who weโve always been.
Pastor Samuel Rodriguez leads prayer at Rededicate 250 on the National Mall:
โFather, we come before You today not merely to remember, but to rededicate. Not just to reflect on history, but to realign our future.
ย
Your Word declares in Psalm 89:14 that righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne, and truth and love go before You. So today, we come together to rededicate America to You, the God of righteousness, justice, truth, and love.
ย
Righteous Lord, We come before you prayerfully acknowledging that a righteous nation recognizes the image of God in every human being, without exception. As a result, Let America affirm the dignity of life in and out of the womb while simultaneously protecting religious liberty for all.
ย
Just and Holy God, With reverence and humility, we ask that justice flow in this land. Let justice roll like a stream, as America defends the vulnerable, confronts injustice with courage, and ensures that fairness is applied consistently to all.
ย
Author of The Truth, With conviction and clarity, we ask you to help us remember that our rights come from You, not from man. That what makes us exceptional is embedded in the following algorithm of liberty; God over man and man over Government.
ย
Remind us oh Lord That we are created equal and endowed by You with life, liberty, and purpose. And we beseech thee, let the truth found in the finished work of Jesus Christ set us free.
ย
With surrendered hearts, we ask that love define us. Teach us to love You with all that we are, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to follow the radical calling to love even our enemies, fully cognizant of the fact that perfect love expels all fear.
ย
Finally, We recognize that there is a battle in America. Yet the battle it is not primarily between the donkey and the elephant. The battle is between the serpent and the Lamb. And Your Word reminds us in Colossians 2:15 that the Lamb has already defeated the serpent.
ย
Because you are the God of righteousness, justice, truth, and love, we proclaim by faith that the most powerful spirit in America is not the spirit of Jezebel, not the spirit of Pharaoh, not the spirit of Goliath, not the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar, not the spirit of Herod. The most powerful spirit in America is still the Holy Spirit of Almighty God.
ย
I submit this and pray this in the holy, righteous, triumphant name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
ย
Amen.โ
In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America.
"It's bigger than you, I want you to remember that... It's bigger than me - you are here to make somebody else's life better, the pursuit of liberty & freedom."โค๏ธ
A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.
Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."
Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.
Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.
When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.
Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.
Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.
Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.
He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.
Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.
I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.
God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.
You ran a good race, my friend.
We've got it from here.
We feel so much loss because we realize how much mojo Charlie Kirk possessed. He was presidential material; he motivated oceans of people; he was determined to win; he was destined to be bigger and more influential than any political figure in history. He was the perfect mix: tall, handsome, a staunch conservative, passionate Christian, proud family man, and a true gentleman. He won every brawl with a smile and without ever raising a fist. He was Reaganโs personality combined with the lion's heart of Trump. He was as familiar as the guy next door, and so we just always expected to see him. Charlie was an old soul in a young man's body. He was different, magical, and one of a kind.
Benny Johnson and his team put together this very beautiful 3 minute video of Charlie Kirk. WOW
Stop what you are doing and watch it
Oh also grab some extra tissues ๐
