Former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “People don’t have the intention of saying something that will lead to something dangerous (so) we cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.”
How did Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, “hear it”?
After Robinson shot Kirk, he texted his roommate/partner, a man transitioning to be a woman. Robinson told his partner to find and read a message Robinson left before the assassination. It read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
On the ammunition found with his rifle were several phrases including, “Hey, fascist! Catch!”

The morning before Charlie Kirk’s murder, I told my sisters that the big myth was that the Democrats used to be safe Americans.
You know, patriotic, God-fearing, moral, anti-crime, proponents of free speech, totally in with the Constitution.
Forget that. Liberals hate those points to the extreme, cheering Kirk’s killing as revenge for brilliantly lauding conservative values.
If lefties couldn’t beat Courageous Kirk in debate, which was impossible at campuses throughout the country and even in England, then gun him down, which someone on their side did in Utah.
[…]In reality, liberals want MAGA to disappear. If it takes death, so be it.
As treacherous as the Democrats have been for two centuries, they’re just as bad now. Watch your back.

The assassination of a leading defender of Christianity, Charlie Kirk, represents the culmination of decades of hostile Marxist indoctrination in the West. Charlie Kirk has become a significant martyr, a new Martin Luther King Jr.
[…]Conservative Charlie Kirk, whose assassination was celebrated by so many radicals, lived his days in this quagmire of Marxist authoritarianism and hatred of Western values, in the remarkably occult and heathen America.
He was demonized, lied about, called the foulest of names, his message willfully twisted in the classical left-wing tactic so well-known throughout the elite-owned, mainstream media. He was detested for his Christian views: That we are one nation under God, with the ideal of a traditional family nucleus consisting of a faithful man and a woman in marriage and their children; the protection of the unborn child and its right to live; the belief in the church as a spiritual center fostering moral standards and a healthy social context; a nation state with border protecting the citizens, as defined in the U.S. Constitution. Also, a system that allowed differences of opinion to thrive; creating healthy debates in order to find the best solution to problems in society; supporting the ideal of a healthy capitalist economic system, where men should work and own the fruit of their own labor; a system where state power was to be decentralized so that the needs of the people would be served. The ideal was the separation of powers between the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches of government in order to stop the abuse of power.
[…]Charlie Kirk spoke fearlessly up against the toxic fluidity that is poisoning the minds of young Americans. For this he was martyred. Yet, his legacy marks the beginning of a new era in which millions rise up to follow in his footsteps, joining him in his faith in God and willingness to serve at any cost, causing landslides of changes that will fundamentally reshape America.

It has been a week since young conservative activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down at a rally on the campus of Utah Valley University in front of his wife and hundreds of attendees.
In the days since, a suspect – 22-year-old Tyler Robinson – allegedly confessed to his father that he committed the crime. Robinson’s father turned him in to the police, who arrested him. From the information available, it appears at this point that Robinson has been in a gay relationship with his roommate Lance Twiggs, who is undergoing a gender “transition” from male to female. If text messages from Robinson to Twiggs are authentic, Robinson told his lover that he killed Kirk because he couldn’t stand Kirk’s “hatred.”
Kirk’s death has left America reeling. Across the country – and throughout the world – there have been outpourings of grief, prayer vigils, memorials and fundraisers to celebrate his life, mourn his death and support his widow and two small children.
But if Kirk’s assassination cast a pall of grief over millions of Americans, reactions from the Left have shocked and outraged them. Immediately following the shooting and announcement of Kirk’s death, social media sites like X, Bluesky and TikTok were filled with posts and videos from thousands of people cheering Kirk’s death, calling him vicious names (“Nazi b*tch,” “fascist,” “racist,” “transphobe,” “misogynist”), stating that he deserved to die, dissing his wife and children, and even calling for similar violence against other conservatives.
[…]Millions of ordinary conservative Americans – not activists, politicians, podcasters or social media influencers – hold views very similar to Kirk’s. They have tolerated smears, doxxing, demonization and violence for years, and THEY. ARE. DONE. Recent events make it appear that the Left is being held captive by lunatics, and if you disagree with them, as Kirk did, you can be murdered in broad daylight, the press will run interference for your killer, and your neighbors, your nurses and your children’s teachers will cheer your death.
People are beginning to understand that being polite, staying out of the fray, trying to be viewed as nonjudgmental has only permitted the situation to grow more extreme.

If you have to resort to violence, you’ve lost the debate. The assassination of Charlie Kirk two weeks ago was a case in point. They couldn’t defeat him at debate, so they killed him.
Charlie’s slogan, as seen on the white tent he was in when he was shot, says it all: “Prove me wrong.” Anybody who may claim he was “proved wrong” by being shot subscribes to the view that might makes right.
[…]“Prove me wrong,” argued Charlie Kirk. His leftist critics could not, so one of their own resorted to violence. The alleged killer wrote in a text to his trans-lover: “Why did I do it? I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
So Charlie Kirk was an inveterate hater, and, therefore, he deserved to die. Tragically, this kind of thinking prevails among many young people today. They have rejected a Judeo-Christian viewpoint and have embraced meaninglessness (nihilism) as the meaning of life. And if there is no meaning, power prevails. We see the results.

I am not an American, but I am a Christian living in Spain who came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior because of the work of American missionaries. And this is the reason I do not want to remain silent in the face of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Looking at the events taking place in America and the West at large at this critical moment, one can easily conclude that the battle is not a political battle, nor is it an ideological one, nor a social one. The real crisis the West is going through at this pivotal moment is a spiritual and cultural one.
It is indeed spiritual warfare – a clash between the preservation of a Christian culture and the resurgence of a pagan one; between the advocacy of good and the advancement of evil; in a world where Christians are being persecuted, canceled, fined and even imprisoned for preaching the word of God in public, or for praying silently in the streets; in a world where artists of many disciplines produce works that desecrate and mock the Bible or the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; where pastors, religious leaders, and churches have to assign a significant part of their budgets for security to protect their lives and their buildings; where churches, children, and religious advocates are being targeted and brutally assassinated, for the only crime of being Christians.
In a world like this, it is obvious that the time of persecution for the Christians has begun. This means that we are going back to the very place where the Church was born, because, at the beginning of the Church, the very foundation, the cornerstone, was laid by the Lord Jesus Himself.
