@KCKDesign @MrsErikaKirk My friend, please refer to Hebrews 13:17, 1 Peter 5:5, and and 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13. Our spiritual fathers called for submission to our bishops and you're missing something spiritually without elders to whom you can submit (enter under their mission)

NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: “Abolish ICE!” tweet the yuppies as they order midnight burritos, insulated from the shadow economy of debt slavery their orders enable.

On a typical night in Manhattan, you’ll see gas-powered mopeds, headlights cutting through steam from street vents. Riders slumped over cups of coffee, helmets at their feet. Towering above them in $4,000/month rentals, customers stare at their phones impatiently. “Your Thai curry is six minutes away.”

Everybody knows what’s going on. We just don’t say it out loud.

Most of these men on mopeds recently arrived from Venezuela, Ecuador, or West Africa. They aren’t legally allowed to work, but they are anyway, leasing vehicles from brokers for $300 to $500/week, and renting app logins from citizens who farm them out for another predatory fee. No payroll records, 1099s, or workers comp. No real path to lasting freedom.

In liberal cities like NYC, customers look away, or tip 35%, thinking it absolves them of guilt even as they accelerate a broken (and illegal) system.

The solutions aren’t easy, but instead of cruelty or performative charity, we should aim for integrity. Enforce the border and punish exploitation. End a system that lets you feel good while someone else breaks the law for you. Your burrito might get more expensive, but if we want a humane system, it has to be lawful first.

Today in Pirate Wires, @_sagnikbasu on the shadow economy powering your burrito limo. Full story 👇

If @Ring is allowing users to dox ICE agents and helping illegals evade arrest, they’re complicit in obstructing the rule of law.

The American people deserve answers on this, @Ring.

To my friends on the political Right: I understand the feeling that people are putting words into Charlie Kirk's mouth. At some level, I agree and share your frustration.

Try to remember: a lot of people loved Charlie. It is natural for them to debate his views and his legacy. In fact, I think Charlie would welcome that.

But for now, let's celebrate our friend, remember his impact, and save the debate for after his funeral.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: US Attorney Judge Jeanine Pirro just called for the establishment of a national Charlie Kirk Day. I LOVE THIS IDEA.

"Charlie Kirk has had an impact, not just on America, but on the world. And there should be a day recognizing Charlie Kirk. That's just how I feel."

"Erika Kirk has an unbreakable will and determination to continue with his legacy." 🇺🇸🙏

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

In the wake of Charlie's assassination, many people are demanding that we redouble our devotion to the "free marketplace of ideas." The call seems at first glance courageous and noble. In reality, it is reckless and impractical. We had an open marketplace of ideas; the Left shot it up.

Not only have extreme leftists committed violence in the marketplace of ideas; more scandalous still, mainstream left-wing voices have cheered and made light of the violence. There can be no open marketplace—of ideas or anything else—under such conditions.

Marketplaces require rules, confidence, and common media of exchange. They require, in other words, order. Liberty requires order. One cannot be both free and undisciplined, for instance, or free and ignorant. We know this philosophically, and we also know it intuitively. It's why we don't let toddlers vote.

What we require now is the reassertion of order. We must insist upon the acceptance of basic truths and moral goods, not as the asymptotic goal of endless debate but as the axiomatic foundation without which debate cannot occur. We must foreclose certain antisocial behaviors and suicidal ideologies. We must, to borrow a phrase from Chesterton, stop "the thought that stops thought."

In practical terms, this means we must stigmatize certain evil ideas and behaviors, and we must ostracize people who insist upon them. More practically, this means that people who persist in such disorder should lose their social standing. In certain cases, they should lose their jobs. There must be consequences.

With any political reform, it is wise to err on the side of caution. The offenses that merit such ostracism should be particularly egregious. A good place to begin would be with those who celebrate the murder of an innocent man.

Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.

This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.

Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.

Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.

Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.

Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.

Abolish term limits, repeal the 22nd, etc.
