We met at an @Excision tour in 2018 through a mutual friend that has since passed away. This year we are getting married. Thank you for leading us to each other. #ravecouple
Just a reminder, many of these people laughed and even celebrated when Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood.
Now theyāre outraged about a girl getting shot by law enforcement after she broke the law repeatedly. She:
Obstructed federal law enforcement.
Ignored commands to get out of her vehicle
Aggressively accelerated and hit an agent with her vehicle before she was shot.
The left is NOT the party of law and order. Nor do they seem to care about right or wrong.
Sentiments of Venezuelans
Iām going to say this once, and I donāt care if it makes people uncomfortable.
If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing
Then shut the fuck up.
You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you donāt get to lecture anyone about whatās happening there.
Iām Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.
This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.
Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.
My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.
Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.
And everything died.
Not slowly.
Violently.
People didnāt suddenly become poor because of ācapitalismā or āthe USā or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.
They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.
People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.
They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.
So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about āimperialismā or āUS badā or āTrump this or thatā
No.
Itās not complicated.
Youāre just ignorant.
China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.
They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining whatās left.
If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity
Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.
Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.
This is something to celebrate.
Not because itās perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.
Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people donāt have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.
If youāve never lived through a country collapsing
If youāve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If youāve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation
Then again
Shut the fuck up.
This isnāt theory.
This isnāt politics.
This is lived experience.

Venezuelan man:
āThose who say that the U.S. is only interested in our oil, I ask you:
What do you think the RUSSIANS and the CHINESE wanted here?
The recipe for arepas?"
ššš
Regardless of where you stand...
Pray for the meeting between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens tommorow.
Pray that truth is revealed.
Pray that grace is shown.
Pray that questions are answered.
Pray that ego is disarmed.
Pray that love is prevalent.
Pray that unity is inspired.
They wanted the food stamps gone and they wanted people to go without pay.
Democrats were rooting for a shutdown before the election because they needed the chaos.
They knew if Americans lost their benefits and paychecks, theyād blame Trump and the Republicans. They donāt care who suffers , as long as it helps them win.
Less than two months ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated with a bullet to his neck for being conservative and Christian.
Tonight, Democrats in Virginia elected an Attorney General who said he wants Republicans murderedāeven their children.
Once again, itās jarring to realize the bloodlust of the left, their vicious, violent hatred of YOU isnāt the fringe. Itās a mainstream view of the entire Democrat Party.
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We donāt have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.
Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & itās dangerous to pretend we donāt notice.
Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Letās remember to lift them up in prayer.
Erika Kirk (and supporters) had to memorialize Charlie from behind bulletproof glass.
Liberals have the luxury of cheering for Charlieās death in the streets, safe and unafraid.
Never forget that contrast.
As a Black man, it hurts my soul to see people call Charlie Kirk a racist. I knew him personally and I can tell you, he was nothing but kind to me. Charlie never looked at me as a color, he looked at me as a friend, as a brother.
He went out of his way to help me, to open doors for me, to make sure I had opportunities I didnāt even ask for. Thatās who he was, just generous, thoughtful, and loyal.
To hear people smear his name with lies is painful, because I knew the real Charlie. He wasnāt about division, he was about lifting people up, no matter where they came from or what they looked like.
And honestly, this all still feels unreal. I still cry, Itās hard to accept that heās gone. A man who gave so much, who inspired so many, taken from us too soon.
Charlie Kirk was more than a leader , he was a husband, father , friend to many of us and a true American patriot.
I listened to Erika Kirkās full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political.
First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I donāt know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life.
That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of Godās love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive.
Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirkās words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husbandās murder, or inviting others to spread Godās love in response because, as she said, āwe do not respond to hate with hate.ā That is powerful beyond words.
Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.
The strength it takes to stand on stage and say that you forgive a person who brought so much hurt to you.
Absolutely incredible, Erika.
What a stunning example of the Christian faith.
