Take personal joy in your abstract contributions to other people’s lives. It can’t be quantified nor is it tangible but it is real. You should never try to politicize it or corrupt it. Just allow it to humble you and understand that it intrinsic to your happiness and proper order
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.
It was also that same Republican family that turned him in you goon.
This is completely disingenuous. @marclamonthill knows full well that it wasn’t any sort of Right-Wing ideology driving the killer but commie left wing poison.
Trump asked to disavow radicals on the right: "I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem"
Absolutely correct response. Killer is now confirmed as another antifa terrorist.
Nick Fuentes gives a touching eulogy for Charlie Kirk.
"He was a TOWERING figure in American Conservatism. He was ambitious, a hard-worker, and he did things I cannot do. I don't know if there's anyone that can fill his shoes."
🚨 BREAKING: Ben Shapiro says he’ll be going to college campuses across the country and has a message for the violent left.
“To those who would try to intimidate or seek to stop us, I have two words: F-CK YOU.”
Nick Fuentes loses his patience:
"If your gut reaction to seeing someone take a bullet in the neck, and their head explode, is to celebrate, You must be DEFEATED. You must be DESTROYED!"
🔴Trump won the popular vote
🔴312 Electoral College votes likely
🔴GOP took the Senate (54+ seats)
🔴GOP on track to gain in the House
We defeated a $1+ BILLION campaign, Hollywood, Big Tech, Big Business.
And it wasn't even close.
If you fuck this up, you will never get another chance. Not in the next election. Not in any election. Because there will be no more meaningful elections. Vote Trump. Do not delay.
“I’m telling you, Brandon Johnson, from my heart to yours: Trump 2024.” —Chicago residents CALLS OUT Mayor Brendon Johnson and local leaders over excessive spending on illegal migrants.
“You’re running the city into the ground. We asked you over and over again to stop with the spending. We’ve told you and your cronies to stop with the spending. You’re giving us no choice. We gotta go to the federal level, we gotta go to Donald J. Trump.
This is America. You bring these people over here from socialist countries and all this and that, and y’all think you’re gonna run that here? Black America says, ‘No, you’re not.’ The true white Americans are saying, ‘No, you’re not.’ The true Latinos and the true Asians are saying, ‘No, you’re not.’”
