The Day the Masks Came Off - the Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk should be alive today. He should be at home tonight with his beautiful wife and their two little children—three bright futures entwined with his own, now stolen away forever. He should be grinning that irrepressible grin, telling stories, cracking jokes, and planning his next campus stop...
Charlie Kirk is dead - murdered in Utah during what should have been a routine campus event. That sentence alone should be enough to unite Americans in grief and outrage. But it hasn’t.
On Twitter, the progressive crowd erupted in celebration. Memes, jokes, cheers - many of the same people who preach about compassion and “our shared humanity” couldn’t resist mocking the death of a man who devoted his life to building conservative institutions and defending ordinary Americans...
For years, conservatives have described liberals as misguided, wrong, or naïve. We thought they were mistaken but basically well-intentioned. Liberals, on the other hand, increasingly painted conservatives as evil - racist, fascist, subhuman. That imbalance shaped our politics: one side wanted to persuade, the other side wanted to destroy.
But with Charlie Kirk’s murder, that asymmetry collapsed...
Today, conservatives are saying what we once resisted: they are not just wrong. They are evil...
Erika Kirk speaks for the first time since husband Charlie Kirk's assassination, 13 September 2025:
The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love. They should all know this. If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.

Exorcism Nigh, by James Howard Kunstler, 12 September 2025:
... The Democratic Party has this affinity for the criminally insane because the party as a whole is insane. It peddles insane policies and ideas, such as cashless bail and defunding the police. It can’t tell the truth about anything. For instance, that black people account for 37-percent of violent felonies committed in the USA, according the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, though they comprise about 13-percent of the population...
The [Charlie Kirk] murder sickened at least half the nation to a degree we haven’t seen since the Kennedys and MLK were gunned down half a century ago... Nobody knows what comes next, but you can sense it is going to be harsh...
Good thing America elected an exorcist in 2024. I don't know if Mr. Trump ever thought of himself that way, but it's come to that. I suppose he will start by dismantling altogether the skein of NGOs beyond the already-demolished USAID umbrella — and there are thousands more of them — that keep money flowing into the Democratic Party, a thoroughly corrupt and treasonous faction. Start with George and Alex Soros's operation, please, Mr T...
The Democratic Party might not survive all that especially since it has turned itself into a mere infernal machine manufacturing hoaxes and hustles against the public interest. That’s all it does, all it stands for...
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Flipped a Remarkable Switch in the MAGA Movement, by John Nolte, Breitbart, 13 September 2025:
What the left’s public execution of Charlie Kirk has done to mobilize the MAGA movement is something I never expected to see...
All at once…
- We understood what had changed forever and why.
- We mobilized.
- We prepared for action.
- We instinctively knew what that action would be.
- We knew we had the power to take that action.
- We took that action and are doing so effectively.
- We share an unprecedented resolve.
- We’re in it for the long term, forever if needed...
No one's wringing their hands that the media aren’t doing to the left what they always do to us. Instead, based entirely on group instinct, we instantly understood that it was up to us to hold accountable those who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s murder and those on the organized left (Democrats, media, academia, etc.) who put a fatwa on Charlie Kirk and the rest of us with their 24/7 "Nazi" and "fascist" and "white supremacist" talk...
The media no longer hold power over us. The media no longer matter. At long last, and after decades of hard work, with the flip of that switch, we realized that we have the power now...
Democrats and the media are calling for unity. In the past, we've fallen for that trap. But this time the switch flipped, and our collective voice said: Go away. You didn't ask for unity during the George Floyd riots. You never ask for unity when it's your side. You demand only fealty...
Democrats and the media are calling for us to tone it down. Another trap we've fallen into. Not this time. This time our collective voice said: Go away. You never demand that your side tone down the rhetoric...
... at long last, we understand the mission, understand the enemy, have joined arms, and are on the march...
