I stayed silent until now. I gave @msrachelforlitt the benefit of the doubt because she claims to “care about children.” But after seeing her justify the forced hijab on little girls, I am furious. I am absolutely disgusted.

I was one of those children. I never chose the hijab. It was forced on me, and it stole my childhood.
I watched other kids run free while I baked in the heat, suffocating under fabric that restricted every move.
I dreamed of skating with the wind in my hair, of playing without limits, of simply looking like every other child.

Those little girls today are not choosing anything. They are being robbed of their freedom, their joy, and their innocence, all so adults can push a political agenda.

@msrachelforlitt, do you even grasp the misery you’re defending? Do you understand the pain of a child who just wants to feel the sun on her skin and live without chains?
Shame on you.
Shame on you for twisting abuse into “choice.”
Shame on you for normalizing the oppression of children to protect your ideology.
You are a complete disgrace.

The No Kings people were the Capos of the Covid crackdowns and the cultic devotees of Herr Doktor. I find them a blend of farcical and sinister as they posture as freedom fighters.

That this cohort might rise again to hold significant influence is my most vivid social fear.

It's not a Simulation. It's our lives. Thinking of it as a simulation is a way to promote ironic distance from the blood-and-bone reality of it all. To alienate us from a creation we should love with our whole being, every nerve & cell. It's also a way to turn others to ghosts.

[Megyn Kelly @megynkelly]

I listened to the presser and feel empty inside. The motive was as suspected, so now what? Now Erika knows exactly why they stole her husband, her kids’ father. Why Charlie will never get to walk their daughter down the aisle, never have a catch with his son. The shooter will likely die by firing squad one day and should. It won’t bring Charlie back.

We lost one of our best bc some gamer left-wing trans/furry-loving loser decided Charlie was “too hateful.” The L told him it was so, and he believed it. Or maybe he just listened to CK videos on trans issues and decided for himself, based on his own Left-wing ideology, reinforced by woke liars all over the news, that it was hateful to say this is a sickness … that you can’t change genders … that it’s evil to cut off healthy body parts of children and to sterilize minors.

Either way, the media won’t stop. They’re complicit in the lies that rotted this shooter’s brain. And the six trans mass shooters before this. But they’ll never acknowledge it. It’s too important to them to virtue signal and be on the side of the allegedly powerless oppressed. Murders of children, of Charlie, be damned.

The side of sanity has no choice but to forge on without these lunatics. Grow our ranks. Donate to TPUSA. Get more children educated with truth and common sense and biological reality. Parents need to get their children off the damn laptop/internet for hours on end and actively intervene when obsessive gaming/reddit surfing becomes a problem. This shooter’s parents may have turned in their son but they sure did know right away that their kid was the culprit. They took one look at those photos and knew. What had already happened to him that made their minds go there? What signs were ignored or overlooked? Maybe we can get the next set of parents to do better. Be more engaged. To protect us all.

Realistically, it’s up to us to raise our kids well and that means with a strong moral core, a strong connection to us and a strong connection to their faith. Then we must multiply our ranks by making K-12 and colleges our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY for de-programming sick and pernicious leftist ideology. What makes parents stay silent in the face of insane woke abusive schools? Junior needs to get into Harvard? Don’t piss off the administrators whose recommendation you need? They’ll make him into a full communist. And maybe a killer.

FIGHT. Fight the lies that are being told. Fight for a return to wellness practices - off the constant gaming/discord and onto a field, e.g. Do NOT remain silent when they actively try to infect your child with the woke mind virus that could cost your child or someone else’s their life one day.

Above all we must continue to spread Charlie’s message of faith, freedom, family and patriotism. We must become even more effective at it and more ubiquitous in our reach. We must say it, say it all, and say it again. And we must do it from fortified spaces so we can live.

The silence from most universities after Charlie Kirk was murdered at a college event speaks loudly and finally a professor has the courage to call it out. Meet professor Trevor Michael Tomesh from the University of Wisconsin system. He said everything that needed to be said. 🔥

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Charlie Kirk didn't even believe in race.

[Steve Loftus @LoftusSteve]

I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk

Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it.

I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time.

Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics.

Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again.

The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not.

Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay.

What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest.

Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me.

I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief.

At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled.

With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful.

I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.

Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.

And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.

Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.

I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.

Here are the facts:

Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.

Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.

Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.

These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.

Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:

These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.

These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.

When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.

They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit.

And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.

When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”

They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.

And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.

When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.

And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.

For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit.

In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.

In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism.

> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)

> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)

> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)

> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)

In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection.

> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)

> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)

All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.

You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.

Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.

If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.

#TheUnityMovement contains many factions--including #MAGA.

Here are some others:

1) The AntiWar movement
2) #MAHA
3) Silicon Valley renegades opposed to ESG madness
4) Politically homeless liberals
5) Real environmentalists
6) Libertarians
7) Bitcoiners
8) The medical freedom movement
9) Family oriented conservatives and others focused on protecting children,
10) Minorities who want a level playing field
11) Constitutionalists and those concerned about the surrendering of national sovereignty
12) People concerned about government control of speech and information
13) People who fear the homeland is being made vulnerable
14) People concerned about rampant corruption
15) Common sense conservatives

MAGA is mostly working class people who were economically betrayed and abandoned by the Democratic elite--especially since the Clinton administration. It has a special place in the Unity Movement because it was an effective political force all on its own.

Yes, the Republican Party has been very corrupt, and that element remains and must be addressed. But the Blue Team MUST be defeated in 2024 to Rescue the Republic and save the West.

Add any factions you think I have missed in the replies. Please share and use #RescueTheRepublic. Time is short. We need to get it trending to spread the word!

I hope that helps.

A thread (for non-Hebrew readers too!) 🧵 1

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

The Harris messaging on Trump "stealing your democracy" is beyond dumb.

"It’s about losing freedom."

Me: Which freedoms?

"Freedom to control own bodies (Birth control, abortion)"

Me: The majority of voters in every state are women, and half of men agree with them. That means women control all state laws in the long run, not just about abortion and birth control.

Trump wants nothing to do with abortion or birth control laws. He's a moderate on this issue.

"Love who you love openly with pride."

Me: Conservatives mostly want to be left alone. They don't care what you do privately. Just don't force them to celebrate other people's private choices. And don't brainwash their kids without their consent.

"Freedom from gun violence"

Me: That's a made-up and stupid "right." Nothing the Left does is compatible with reducing violence: Defunding police, supporting riots, no cash bail, open borders, pushing DEI and racial division.

And it ignores the value of gun ownership for protecting against a dictatorship.

"Freedom to have access to ballot"

Me: We have still never met the one person who can't figure out how to vote.
