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.

@JhWesten A so-called Christian leader that argues this is also not really pro-biblical Christianity.

@OliLondonTV Filtered air is not a fundamental human right. It is a privilege.

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.”  That moment deeply affected me.  I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.

Been off Twitter for a long time. Got rid of Facebook, ready for better social media. Would love to know who you recommend to follow here.

New to J-town we were looking for a home church. Attended Sojourn J-town on a whim, not expecting to be drawn back over and over. Now have been active members since 2016. No regrets! We love this body of believers!

Then again it could be that God is a Brewers fan and will use an American League team to execute justice over the Dodgers in TWS2018. 🤞

[Michael Waits @michaelwaits]

So disappointed in the Brewers loss to the Dodgers last night I’m praying Jesus returns before an American League team wins the World Series again. Come Lord Jesus.

If you never considered the challenges special needs parents face regularly, consider it.

Had a neighborhood block party today. Purpose: get to know folks that could get to know the gospel. Results: got to know folks that got to know me. Satisfaction: yep.

I love seeing all of these classic cars and #streetrods around #Louisville during this time of year.

Here are three ways the oft-maligned doctrine of predestination puts steel in our spiritual backbones. https://t.co/XTVCgDPdcW

[The Gospel Coalition @TGC]

Here are five things to seek in a church:

1. Commitment to expository preaching.
2. Clear vision for discipling one another.
3. Backbone to love wandering sheep.
4. Sense of mission.
5. Place with people unlike you.

Watching the #Yellowstone premiere on the Paramount Network is like watching the old martial arts movies where the voiceovers didn’t match the mouth movements.

The example you set for your children today will likely be similar to the one they set for theirs tomorrow.

The reason Christianity is true, and other religions are not, has little to do with religion and everything to do with Christ.

If it’s big enough to worry about, it’s big enough to pray about.
