FTA The memorial was overwhelmingly a religious, not political, event. Thus, the climax came when Erika said that she forgave her husband’s murderer, as Jesus forgave those who crucified him. It was a moment of extraordinary emotional and intellectual power. But, speaking for myself, I will never forgive the liberals who created the conditions for the murder of Charlie Kirk, and many other evils. Following Erika, President Trump’s contribution was adequate but anti-climactic. The highlight was when, after he was done speaking, he and Erika hugged. She was the star of the day, not Donald. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/09/the-charlie-kirk-memorial.php#google_vignette

I listened to Erika Kirk’s full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political. First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I don’t know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life. That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of God’s love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive. Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirk ’s words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husband’s murder, or inviting others to spread God’s love in response because, as she said, “we do not respond to hate with hate.” That is powerful beyond words. Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.

I'd like to say that this is an exaggeration, but it isn't

When I was in college, my inbox flooded with emails from the provost, president, dean, and department heads after George Floyd died in 2020. •@UChicago’s president declared America a racist country •The provost said his death was “racially motivated” •The English Dept promised to admit only “Black studies” grad students •The History Dept pledged allegiance to the violent, fraudulent BLM org Yet 10 days after Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Nothing. Not a single word from university leadership. Why? Because they are complicit in his murder. Violent Marxism is the curriculum. America’s universities are expressing their approval via their silence.

The left still doesn’t get it. It’s not the “MAGA movement” mourning Charlie Kirk. AMERICA is mourning him.

THAT....................is obvious. You have made up your mind already. One wishes that you would try opening it. .

You are floundering. The spin that you have swallowed will not convince anyone. Read more and think about it. Meanwhile:

Obama Is a Soulless Fraud By J.B. Shurk Barack Obama is such a soulless fraud. He’s spent the last week trying to downplay the significance of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. First, he pretended that the motive behind Charlie’s murder was impossible to ascertain. Then he blamed President Trump for welcoming “extremism” into the White House. Finally, he insinuated that Charlie was a racist and at least partially responsible for his own death. As always, America’s foremost “divider in chief” excels at rubbing salt in gaping wounds. The Soros network of NGOs must have recently sent out marching orders instructing Democrats to speak favorably of Obama’s presidency because every prominent Donkey Party politician has tried to rewrite Obama’s divisive reign as some kind of unifying era of social harmony. I suppose they’re attempting to brainwash the fifteen-year-olds who can’t remember a thing about the ugly Obama years but who will be voting in the next presidential election. The quick and dirty version, kids, is this: When Obama left office, even the leftist propagandists at the AP acknowledged that his presidency had greatly divided the country. Obama could have been a remarkable figure in American history. When he entered office, he enjoyed phenomenal approval ratings because Republicans who had voted for John McCain recognized the real possibility that the worst chapters in American race relations might finally be closed for good. For several decades, in fact, black and white Americans had been getting along better than ever. Martin Luther King Jr.’s exhortation that we view people by the “content of their character” and not by the “color of their skin” had won hearts and minds everywhere. Forty years after MLK Jr.’s assassination, Obama became president. His campaign promised “hope and change.” Americans of all political backgrounds wanted to believe that the country’s best years lay just ahead. Even Republicans who voted against Obama in 2008 recognized the remarkable opportunity his presidency provided to bring all Americans together. Unfortunately for America, Obama and his “wingman” attorney general, Eric Holder, had no intention of uniting Americans. They had been incubated in the politics of hate and inculcated with Marxism’s prime directive to divide people and turn them against each other for partisan political gain. Once in office, Obama and Holder transformed every political debate into a new excuse for cynically accusing ideological opponents of racism. During the Obama presidency, the “race card” was the unofficial cover sheet for every administration policy. With the race-obsessed duo of Obama and Holder at the helm, Christians were smeared as “white supremacists” and “Christian nationalists.” Grassroots members of the Tea Party movement were marginalized as “racists” who wanted to take the country back to a time before black Americans could vote. And police officers were demonized as “slave catchers” dedicated to beating up and murdering black men. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/09/obama_is_a_soulless_fraud.html

What kind of person protests at a memorial service?

JD Vance says it's time to BE HONEST that "evil still walks among us" and we "shouldn't ignore it for a fake kumbaya moment." "[We must] address it HEAD ON, HONESTLY for the SICKNESS that it is." "But for every hateful voice celebrating his murder, THERE ARE A THOUSAND people mourning it and fighting for his legacy every single day!"
