Re: Responding to Charlie’s Murder
“Every American of any political stripe should read this column. Amen.” —Utah
“The news of Charlie’s assassination hit me hard. With his death, a lion has been awakened in thousands and thousands of people. The only way forward is in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Satan once again thought he would win by killing Charlie, but God is in control, and the name of Jesus is being lifted high. ‘For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.’ 2 Timothy 1:7” —Oregon
“There is an epidemic of mental illness across our nation. That vulnerability, coupled with the removal of faith from many aspects of life, the promotion of abnormal behavior, the infusion of violent video games, and the toxic political rhetoric, all combine to form an evil front. The fuel is the toxic rhetoric, the result is evil.” —Illinois
“We need to focus on the critical factors underlying the brainwashing of an entire generation, and turning out assassins like Robinson. Gen Z grew up with social media. They grew up socially isolated behind digital screens using algorithms designed to target them with brainwashing propaganda! We know that Obama changed the law in 2012 to gut the Smith-Mundt Act, allowing the media cult to target Americans with propaganda. Until that changes, expect more of the same.” —Arkansas
“I was at a complete loss over how to respond to Charlie’s murder, other than a lot of anger and angst. Thank you for pointing me and countless others in the right direction. Yes, this is exactly what Charlie would have wanted.” —California
“Outstanding, may your words be the light in the darkness for everyone. His love will always be greater than the evil of a soiled heart. Thank you.” —Oregon
“Charlie Kirk stood for and spoke Truth while working to restore America’s faith, values, traditions and exceptionalism. The Left flatly rejects these because they impede their agenda to wrest power to fundamentally transform our nation. Charlie was most effective in exposing the duplicity of the Left, and the fact that he had the ear and following of countless Americans of all ages bodes well for our nation. We must hope and pray that the efforts of Charlie and TP USA are not only sustained, but increased to preserve the USA and its many bestowed blessings.” —Florida
Re: The Assassination of Charlie Kirk
“Please pray for Charlie Kirk’s wife, children, and family. Their hearts are shattered and broken right now. But to them and to all those who are born again believers in Jesus Christ, I will declare to all of you now, soon and very soon: ‘For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore, encourage one another with these words.’ —1 Thess 4:16-18. What a glorious day it will be! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!” —North Carolina
“The loss of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy for this country. He was killed not only for speaking the truth but more importantly for getting young people to listen and learn. His murder hurts so much. But I have to believe that somehow it is God’s plan that a great good will come from this evil. I pray for this country, for Charlie’s family and friends, and for all of us. He is with Jesus, but we still need him here. He has his reward, but we mourn our loss.” —Delaware
Re: Another Year of Education Failure for Our Nation’s Children
“This depends on your definition of failure. The Marxists running the public schools want to ‘dumb down’ our kids. They have been very successful in attaining that goal. Division and hate are on the menu as well, and as you can see by the Left’s response to Charlie Kirk’s murder, that has been tremendously successful.” —Texas
“It’s nice that we know at the government level that kids are really dumb and that things need to change, but in this country, change comes hard, and leftists fight it like it’s pulling their teeth. And at a very local level, people don’t seem to care, and they don’t care if change ever comes. The country is divided into those who know and those who don’t care. And the don’t cares are winning.” —Washington
Re: The Real Jobs Malaise During Biden’s Economy
“It’s humorous. We always knew Joe Biden was lying, but not much was done to prevent his damage. And now we have proof he was lying, and we know President Trump wants to reverse it. But now we have people who are fighting against the change we know is needed and are slowing the progress.” —Washington
Re: A Critical Reflection on Black Culture
“This is a master conclusion to a perpetual issue. I have long thought that the issues have nothing to do with color or religion or the other factors blamed for lack of ‘fitting in.’ The reality is, Charlie Kirk has it right. A civil conversation about our differences and life experiences gives us the chance to understand in a new way. When we stop listening and ‘assume’ everyone else is wrong, we become stupid and tribal.” —Wisconsin
“I agree that the birthday card is a waste of everyone’s time, and Congress discussing it is a waste of taxpayer money, as the time could be used toward matters far more important. Whether Trump drew the picture and signed the card isn’t going to change anything. However, I do think it’s important to get all documents & tapes pertaining to Epstein, as I believe the victims deserve justice. I also believe we cannot allow anyone involved in this sex abuse against these victims to get away without being held accountable!” —California
Re: God-Given Rights and Tim Kaine’s Major Malfunction
“If our rights come from the Government, then they can take away those rights any time they want. If our rights come from GOD, then no one can ever take away those rights. Look at England, where they arrest people for silently praying in their minds. A Government that is big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have, including free speech.” —Wisconsin
Re: A Gruesome Murder Illustrates the Left’s Crime Failures
“This heinous crime, seen on a video, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, also seen live on video, should convince all of America that there is only one penalty for murder, of any type: the death penalty. God did not put us on earth and make us in His image to use His creation as a tool for randomly extinguishing human life without consequence.” —Massachusetts
