Spencer Pratt is right. We see it all around us. A throw away society.

Kids don’t care about grandma’s old table. They’d rather have a crappy IKEA throw away table, unless YOU explain the value and steadiness of grandma’s table.

Kids don’t want the old photo albums with their great, great grandparents photos in them. They have no attachment to them-unless YOU show them the importance of them.

Kids don’t understand why knowing who they are and where they came from is important, unless YOU know and YOU show them.

Families build the memories and relationships that carry on a family culture.

It’s the same with our country.

We used to look for “made in America” with pride to buy.
We used to wear “made in America” and exclusively help our countrymen who made it.
We used to SHARE our history and learn from each other to make our CULTURE better.

America is the greatest nation on earth and we should act like it.

September 10th began as one of the best days of my adult life. A new business I was helping out hit its first inflection point, the flywheels were spinning, I had quality time with the family. Cracked open a can of nitro cold brew and got ready for another day of war on X. 10/10 day.

My wife said, “Charlie Kirk got shot.” I opened the video and then life changed for everyone.

The grief fell down on me like a ton of bricks.

I was not as close to Charlie as Posobiec and others were. Charlie would text me, like he would hundreds of others each day. He was a modern-day Benjamin Franklin, and I was fond of him from afar. Who wasn’t? Charlie was one of the most impressive men who ever lived. Will Durant would need to return to life to give Charlie’s life the treatment it deserves.

I wasn’t sure what to make of him at the time. I watched his star rise at Turning Point and saw him navigate difficult media attacks and grow an empire.

One of the first people I talked to was Jack Posobiec, who said what I was thinking, “We thought it’d be you.” That wasn’t an insult. He wasn’t saying it should have been me.

All of us know that we might be murdered. It’s something we talked about frequently. Who will get shot first? We can say that it’s tragic to live this way, and so what?

As men you accept that there are enemies of civilization, not many allies, and those on the front will be framed for crimes, sued into bankruptcy, or killed.

I went to great pains to put my assets into vehicles for my children, to fund their 529s, to make sure that my family would have financial security. I nagged everyone in the fight to do this, literally telling people, “Assume you will be destroyed, your children will know their father was a historically significant person, your absence will be hard enough to deal with, don’t leave them broke too.”

I embraced the Stoic and samurai ideals of meditating on death. (Since then I’ve returned to Christianity, that is a different story for another time.)

I watched him show up at the RNC in 2016 shouting on a megaphone, “Socialism sucks.” Sadly, I lost most of my video footage from that era, but was able to locate that classic Charlie moment. (I posted it a couple of weeks before his murder.)

Why Charlie?

We kept asking that. Charlie was pure. If anything he was too righteous for this world. A lot of us to this day ask, “Why not me instead?”

I racked my brain and reached some conclusions that may not look good in the written word without facial inflection, but here we go.

Charlie was too pure. No one thought, “If I murder Charlie, then his followers will kill me and my friends and family.” I’m not saying this to criticize Charlie. He lived his Christian values. Some others on the right are seen a bit as more in the “grey area,” not walking fully in the light, as Charlie did.

Morally it’s a question I fight with almost daily. Are we too pure? Will all of our families be lined up against the wall like Tsar Nicholas’ was, as the neo-Bolsheviks bayonet our children?

Are we too Christian and kind?

My own regrets.

When text messages began to leak, my heart broke again. I’m going to carefully word these next sentences to avoid embroiling myself into the endless controversies and drama. I want no part of any of that and reject fully anyone’s attempt to bring me into it.

I wish I had talked to Charlie more often. I had no agenda or angle to work. He needed someone older and removed from the day-to-day whose only question was, “How can I help you, Charlie Kirk?”

We attended Charlie’s memorial service. Most impressive to me was the President of Hillsdale College. Even looking for this video has me choking up. This man loved Charlie. He didn’t see Charlie as a political tool or way to launder a pet political cause onto college campuses.

This is grief. This is true paternal love.

“Why is dad crying?”

During a trip to see my sick father in the hospital, I was listening to the worship music from Charlie’s memorial, weeping on the plane.

There was some comedic relief to the grief. I loathe worship music. Yet there I was playing megachurch jam band songs from the Charlie Kirk memorial. (Someone posted a Playlist on Spotify.)

“How the f—k did I end up a weepy mess listening to this shit?” As the saying goes, you either laugh or cry. For me it’s been both.

Between Scott Adams’s passing and Charlie’s, I was often getting up to leave the house. Had to walk, collect my thoughts, and go cry alone. I get over stuff that happens to me easily, probably too much so. My wife’s biggest complaint is, “You’re too nice and people take advantage of you.” My dad is the same way, and it’s something I’m working on with my oldest. You have to stand up for yourself. Not everyone shares our values. (In fact, most don’t, and they’ll even steal from you if given the chance.) Even so, there’s a lot to be said for not caring about yourself too much. The opposite end of that is endlessly brooding and greed.

I can get over a lot.

Charlie’s death is not something I am close to getting over.

Charlie Kirk got us back into church.

My wife and I hadn’t ever gone to church together unless it was for a wedding, and I hadn’t been inside a church to worship for decades. We went to a local church our friends attended, and it was packed. The pastor immediately mentioned Charlie’s murder and said he would talk about it.

I hated the sermon, as did my wife. We wanted a message of vengeance, not forgiveness and contemplation, and brotherly love. I rebelled against Josiah B. Trenham’s homily calling for us all to reflect for 40 days.

I’ve tried. I’m still full of hate and anger, almost one year later. Maybe my heart isn’t Christian enough, or maybe Christians have lost touch with the Polish Winged Hussars and other warriors who fought back against the Ottoman Empire and other primitives. Maybe Tsar Nicholas should have taken the Bolshevik threat more seriously.

My wife said of the church service we attended, “Maybe that’s the message we needed to hear.” I don’t have it in me to forgive Charlie’s murderer, the far left, nor the Tech and Wall Street guys who funded it all. I am not Charlie Kirk.

God knows I’m not Charlie Kirk.

Stop what you are doing right now, and watch this. I am 100% serious when I say this may be the best pro-American political video I have ever seen.

Spencer has the mandate.

Watch.

They say all countries are created equal.

But then you look at the United States of America, and then you look at everybody else and you know that statement ain’t true.

See, every country’s got a 50/50 chance of being the greatest at best.

But America’s not every country.

You take that 50% chance, add 250 years of freedom, multiply it by the strongest military on Earth, multiply that by millions of hard-working Americans, then add the Stars and Stripes and one bald eagle.

Now everybody else looks at that equation and they KNOW they can’t compete.

So everybody else’s 50% chance drastically goes down.

And America’s chance of being the greatest country on Earth goes up to 141 2/3%!

The numbers don’t lie. And they spell disaster for anyone who thinks they can compete with the United States of America!

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME!

[Aaron @pplcallmeblue]

@disneytipsguy Me! Life drastically changed during the eras in the current carousel. Don’t think they are as dramatic in the eras selected.

Hope the new one will be good but…It seems a little silly for Walt to be at the beginning to introduce the ride he didn’t make 😂

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Spencer Pratt just OBLITERATED Communist Ugandan Mayor Mamdani for 5 minutes straight

"F*CK YOU, COMMUNIST! This is OUR HOME and YOU CAN'T HAVE IT."

"Commie Mamdani's ancestors NEVER BLED FOR THIS COUNTRY. He has no history here. So he has no attachment to our home. He has no place to rewrite our history and lecture us about what our country stands for!" 🔥🔥🔥

"We aren't cowards. We don't turn our backs on the painful memories because they make us who we are. Be proud of our country, damn it!"

"We all had to sit and watch that vile commie mayor sit on the wrong side of our founding father's desk to try and lecture us about our own history!"

"Notice how the communists always attacks your history. The communists must attack YOUR history."

"Why? Because history is what anchors you. It's what makes us attached to something."

"Erasing history is how you demoralize people, how you unmoor them, and detach them from their society, so you can take it from them and rewrite it in your image!"

"Communism is an evil anti-human religion. So it must destroy what makes us human. The Communist destroys your history so he can take your home and rebuild it in his image."

"That's why it's your patriotic duty to celebrate today unashamed. It's okay to love America. Not only is it okay to love America, it's necessary to love America."

"Our history is violent. F*ck yeah it is. And that's why we love it!"

"Not only is it a miracle that this radical experiment itself, governance even survived past 1776. But we are the champions of the world. Be proud of that."

"Be proud of your history. Millions of your ancestors fought and died to preserve it.

"So celebrate today. Show some American pride. Honor your history. Raise your flag"

"Today we celebrate our Independence Day. God bless America."

[Mr. T @MrT]

Happy birthday America! I am very proud, No, I am extremely proud to be a Christian American! Born and raised in this beautiful land, which I love! Yes, I love America! #USA

RIP @3x5.

This Braves X community is something special. Megan was a huge part of it for a lot longer than I have been. She was as passionate as any. I had these note cards made just for when we wanted to send her something from the booth to let her know we were thinking of her and wanted to make it look a little more pro. We’ll remember her every time we use one. This all happened way too fast for someone so young and it doesn’t seem fair.

Braves Country lost a great one.

[Kelley Schramm @kelley_schramm]

Hi everyone - Megan passed away this afternoon. I’ll miss her so much. I appreciate everyone’s messages and I’ll get back to yall as soon as I’m in a clearer head space. @3x5
