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.
Stephen Miller just deconstructed the entire media narrative surrounding that deported MS-13 gang member that liberals are demanding be returned home.
Here's how he completely turned the tables on these reporters 👇

Karoline Leavitt's White House Press Briefing today cleared up A TON of the lies that the liberal media has been pushing about the Trump administration.
Here's what we learned today 👇
The global chessboard is finally in motion.
President Trump’s sweeping tariffs have landed, and the world has responded. We can now see who’s ready to play in this grand reset—and who isn’t.
Three clear response strategies seem to be emerging. Let's check the updates so far🧵
Look at me. I’m a Hamptons liberal.
I believe in progress—but not if it alters the historic district. I summer in a 7,000 sqft “cottage,” where I post about climate change from my wraparound teak deck beside a gas-powered fire-pit overlooking an infinity pool that’s slowly leaking into a freshwater aquifer.
I think racism is bad, actually… but I also think Bridgehampton has gotten a little too exciting lately. That said I just love diversity, in theory, if it stays west of the Shinnecock Canal and north of the highway.
I love to host fundraisers for causes I don’t understand, attended by people I can’t stand, to fight problems I’ll never face. The only working-class person I’ve spoken to all summer is the Ecuadorian guy who trims my hydrangeas—and I make sure to tag him in my stories to prove I’m “connected to the community.” The El Salvadorians are such noble people, as long as they leave by 5 p.m. and don’t use the outdoor shower.
I call everything “sacred” except tradition and everything “sustainable” except my lifestyle. But don’t call me out on it. Because if you do, I’ll call you problematic and divisive or worse… a Republican.
Karmelo Anthony, the kid who killed Austin Metcalf.
Hear me out.
My belief is most of the stuff you're seeing on this app defending Anthony is bought and paid for by his defense team and the leftist NGOs agitating for racial conflict. It's not organic. You pay key race-bait influencers to post stuff in his defense and then you let groupthink and racial idolatry take over. Next thing you know a cut-and-dry case becomes a clickable, ratings-driving narrative about America's "racial" history and "unfair" criminal justice system. This is the matrix at work doing what it's designed to do -- divide black and white and distract from truth.
We're in a battle of good vs evil. Unfortunately black Americans have been brainwashed into the demonic "black culture" religion established by Hollywood and the music industry.
We should pray for deliverance and point to Christ and the Cross. All else is noise and plays into the hands of our enemy, Satan. Thanks for reading.
Look at me. I’m a Cape Cod liberal. I don’t have to chain my bikes to cement or lock my doors at night—because diversity is something I vote for, not something I live near.
I support open borders from the comfort of my historically preserved colonial. My kids attend “inclusive” schools where everyone’s named Cooper or Maeve. I talk endlessly about systemic injustice, then retreat to my 98% white ZIP code to decompress with restorative yoga and a $17 smoothie.
The nearest Black person is on the New York Times opinion page I didn’t read and I like to post about redlining while sitting on inherited property that I pretend I earned. I’m not racist though I just like “good schools” in “quiet neighborhoods” and if you label me a hypocrite, I’ll accuse you of hate speech.
@DeanKremerBurn from the Earth, yes—but also from experience. From the dance between molecule and memory, biology and story. They are the poetry of the senses, shaped by evolution and culture, body and soul.
@DeanKremerBurn it does not just because of its chemical compounds—like vanillin—but because of what we associate with it. Comfort. Childhood. Warm kitchens. Birthday cakes. To one person, vanilla might be bland; to another, it might taste like home.
So where do flavors come from? They come
@DeanKremerBurn after human hands coax it into being through a long and patient process: pollination, harvesting, fermenting, drying. It’s not simply found—it’s revealed.
But flavor, in a deeper sense, doesn’t truly exist in the pod or the tongue. It lives in perception. Vanilla tastes the way
@DeanKremerBurn Flavors are born at the intersection of nature, memory, and meaning.
Take vanilla. On the surface, it comes from the cured seed pods of an orchid—the Vanilla planifolia—native to Mexico. But its journey is much more than botanical. The rich, sweet scent of vanilla arises only
Will anybody in media talk about Austin Metcalf the way they talked about George Floyd? What’s more of a tragedy, a criminal overdosing on fentanyl, or a Christian, high-school, straight-A athlete murdered at a track meet?
