One of the things I so admired about Charlie Kirk is that he didn't have a jealous or envious bone in his body. I'm not sure whether this is something innate or cultivated. You see it in young kids from an early age--some kids just feel a natural jubilation when other people do well or succeed, and others don't. Charlie just rooted for everyone, supported them, cheered them on, and encouraged them to see the possibilities they couldn't see in themselves.
All of us should follow that example. Whatever their politics, mistrust anyone who's naturally envious of the success of others. A lot of the posthumous attacks on Charlie are rooted in envy.
There's a reason envy is one of the seven deadly sins.

So many emotions over the last week for a man most of us didn’t know personally. I have cried more over the last week than I have in a long time. May God bless @MrsErikaKirk as she picks up the microphone. No matter what form TPUSA takes from here, May God bless the way!
The Turning Point Board has unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board.
In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death.
Charlie Kirk is an American martyr.
Charlie gave his life for God and country.
May we rise up with a full heart and defeat the evil that stole Charlie Kirk from us. God help us.
This is the Turning Point.
We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.
Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?
As a member of the Holy Catholic Church, emotions can run high when the Pontiff dies—but it’s not only mourning. It’s a great privilege to be Catholic and I ask you to pray with me for the repose of Pope Francis’ soul and for the Cardinals who will soon gather for the conclave.
Statement from Michael P. Warsaw, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of EWTN Global Catholic Network on the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis:
“The death of Pope Francis is a moment of personal grief for Catholics around the world. Together with our entire EWTN Family, I mourn his passing and join the Church in prayers for the repose of his soul. I was privileged to be able to meet Pope Francis a number of times throughout the years and was always struck by his kindness and good humor in our encounters. As Catholics, we thank God for the life and pontificate of Pope Francis, and in particular for his tireless advocacy for those on the peripheries.
As part of our service to the Church in this moment, EWTN will air programming to honor Pope Francis’s life and legacy as well as coverage of the many devotions and Masses from the Vatican, including the Holy Father’s funeral Mass. We invite our global audience to join us in this period of mourning. May God have mercy on His servant and grant him eternal rest.”
Don’t get me wrong, I love a man with a beard but I’m going to miss this rule. It made the Yankees feel superior. Now they are just the team that American doesn’t really like (with facial hair).
I’m not a Husker fan, but I lived there for 8 years and I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Cook. He created a very successful program. Those ladies come to work everyday and when athletes turn up like that, it’s because they have a great leader. Enjoy retirement! 👏🏼
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She's the first woman to hold the position.
She was given a great honor today, a chance to unify America around a Christian message at the dawn of a new administration. Instead, she disgraced herself with a lecture you'd hear on CNN or an episode of The View.
What an embarrassment.
Listen to NCAA President Charlie Baker hem and haw and blame everyone from courts to “the locals” for HIS policy allowing men in women’s sports. It’s indefensible - and he knows it
The NCAA allows biological men in women’s sports and men in women’s locker rooms. Five women’s volleyball teams have had to forfeit games to teams with men this fall alone. How much longer will NCAA allow this insanity to go on
Paige Hubl was my mentor my first week at Hudl. I was so nervous when I walked into the office that first day and she helped me feel right at home with that sweet smile of hers. God bless her and her family.
Tragic news as former Husker Paige Hubl passed away earlier this week.
She played for Nebraska between 2009-12 and was a co-captain her senior year. Hubl was a prep standout for Lincoln Southeast and later served as head coach for the Knights for four years.
@marilispineiro @PillarCatholic Both of their bios said canon lawyer…what is that? Are they lawyers for priests or just studied hard to learn the church? Not confused about the article, just the people that wrote it.
Thank you to all the veterans out there for putting on this country's uniform. In a country blessed with incredible natural resources, perhaps the most valuable resource we have is that millions of people are willing to serve in uniform.
We are grateful to you!
