Khaman Maluach looks bigger, didn't turn the ball over once, he's dunking on people and making 3's.
All this without real guard play. I'm so excited to see the Man Man leap this year. He looks so much better already.
Hello Mrs. Owens,
You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk."
He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it.
You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it.
You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days.
You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater.
You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu.
You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name.
And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely.
Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him.
So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath.
Every single one failed.
I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow.
The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts.
I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.
@dmichaelclary Ok. I can see that. I think getting involved and saying something about the drag queen show is religious and a part of living as salt and light. I will get your book and read it. Twitter can be such a challenging space to talk through these issues.
Reminder: she was a beautiful woman that bought into a destructive ideology.
Ideas have consequences.
We not only should grieve this kind of thing, we should labor to rescue others from buying into it.
@smithhmackenzie Makes me think of this quote by Tim Keller, "The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope."
If you love Jesus you should love what Jesus loves, and that ultimately means you should be an official, active, and serving member of your local church (Eph. 5:25).
Church membership should be normal for Christians. Lives lived in regular accountability demonstrate the gospel’s reality to the world, particularly through the mutual love that Jesus identified as the mark of his followers. This is both biblical and strengthens evangelistic witness. Weaker and newer Christians gain feeding and accountability through membership, and mature and seasoned believers demonstrate authentic Christian living.
Hebrews calls believers to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” explicitly warning against forsaking assembly “as the manner of some is” (Heb. 10:24–25). This suggests participation isn’t optional but essential to spiritual health.
Church membership preserves biblical truth by establishing who bears responsibility for rooting out false teaching and protecting the gospel when leadership itself becomes compromised. Paul’s letter to the Galatians exemplifies this. I say this as a positional elder in my church — Paul appealed to the whole congregation rather than leadership alone to address doctrinal corruption. Think about it: how are you to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal 6:2), which positions mutual care as a central Christian obligation, if you’re not actively in a membership role? Thessalonians similarly exhorts believers to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thess 5:11), framing encouragement as a reciprocal responsibility that requires presence and investment.
Healthy membership equips believers to recognize heresy when taught or communicated and transforms them from passive consumers into active defenders of the faith.
Acts depicts the early church persevering in apostolic teaching, communion, and gathering daily, with believers holding possessions in common (Acts 2:42–47), a portrait of intensive communal engagement rather than individual isolated devotion or nominal affiliation.
Ultimately, practicing membership glorifies God as Christians gather to form his body, living under the life giving words of scripture, fellowshipping with one another sacrificially, and reflecting his character.
🤯 Listen to this extraordinary exchange between Camilla Tominey and Labour’s Health Secretary James Murray. It is genuinely jaw-dropping.
Camilla: “You’re quite pro-trans, aren’t you? Do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously?”
Murray: “No, I don’t.”
Camilla: “So you’ve changed your mind?”
Murray: “Yes.”
Camilla: “Why?”
Murray stumbles. He says he’s been thinking about the issue over recent years and would not now say trans women are women.
Camilla hits back: “You must have known that before. You are very well educated. How on earth can you have previously thought that a woman can have a penis?”
He had no real answer. Because there isn’t one.
This is not some backbench MP. This is the Secretary of State for Health, the man responsible for the entire NHS, puberty blocker policy, women’s health services, and child safeguarding.
He spent years either believing or pretending to believe that biological sex is fluid and that women can have penises. Only now, when the Cass Review, court rulings, and public opinion have made that position politically toxic, has he magically “changed his mind”.
Think about the damage done while he held that view. The eroded women’s rights. The confused children fast-tracked toward hormones and surgery. The female prisoners and athletes forced to share spaces with biological males. All enabled or ignored by senior Labour figures like him.
This level of ideological delusion at the very top of government is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Basic biology should never have been up for debate, let alone something a Health Secretary had to “evolve” on.
I’m glad Mexico lost. Some of their noted behavior:
-The anti-gay chant (”¡Eh…!”) – A homophobic chant directed at opposing goalkeepers, resulting in repeated fines and sanctions from FIFA.
-Throwing objects onto the field – Cups, bottles, and other items have occasionally been thrown at players, referees, or onto the pitch.
-Crowd violence and fights – Some matches have seen fights in the stands or outside stadiums involving Mexico supporters.
-Poor sportsmanship toward opponents – Booing national anthems, taunting opposing fans, and hostile behavior have drawn criticism.
-Confrontations with security and police – Isolated incidents of disorder have led to arrests and increased security measures at some matches.
-Undisciplined play by the team – Critics have pointed to unnecessary yellow and red cards, emotional reactions, and occasionally losing composure in high-pressure games.
Outrage over teaching the Bible is anti-intellectual:
The Bible "is included in the curriculum, like every other reading on the list, as a critical piece of classical literature.
Which it is.
A Texas student won’t find too many temples to Zeus or Odin, but he will see churches as numerous as oil rigs dotting the Lone Star State’s landscape. If he is to know why they are there and the nature of their influence upon his culture, it must start with a reading of the book which inspired them.
The hysterical response to the SBOE’s decision to include the Bible in the k-12 curriculum is more than anti-God, it is anti-intellectual.
Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Donne, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Eliot, O’Connor, and a host of others are virtually unintelligible without a working knowledge of the Bible.
Imagine trying to understand A Christmas Carol (also on the SBOE reading list) or merely the title of Faulkner’s great novel Absalom, Absalom! without that in your intellectual toolbox.
