The Right turns to God for strength in prayer and has vigils for their victims, the Left burns, loots and assassinates. The Left may have a moment of silence benefiting themselves, often on but one knee, the Right a moment with God that others may be benefited, usually on both knees. These responses are not the same, the one response invites goodness, the other often evil. The Right do not burn, loot, or assassinate. Charlie Kirk’s assassination should awaken every American to the need to bring God, more fully, into their lives.
This was most blatantly demonstrated last week in the House of Representatives when House members learned that Charlie Kirk had been shot. Speaker Mike Johnson led a moment in silence after which Representative Lauren Boebert said “silent prayers get silent results,” and requested a vocal prayer. The request drew audible groans, shouts and even boos from mostly Democrats (“House Floor Erupts as Lauren Boebert Calls for Prayer for Charlie Kirk,” By Anna Commander, Newsweek, Sept. 10, 2025). The chaos silenced her request for an audible prayer.
Charlie Kirk was not a politician, a candidate for public office, a billionaire, or even a religious leader. Instead, he was a gifted debater, orator and a religious man that all of us, if God has any place in us, could admire and identify with. The Left could not have found someone less worthy of assassination in the public square, and the public is already turning against the Left and Democrats blaming them for the rhetoric that led to this extreme violence.
The Left say, “Oh we condemn this violence.” But they do NOT! Their unending hate Trump rhetoric has called for harm to Trump for at least a decade and for almost 5 years on his MAGA followers. You can’t call Trump, Hitler, a fascist dictator, a Nazis, and a threat to democracy day and night for years, before some one (like Tyler James Robinson), will feel invited by the Dems to take him, or a follower (Charlie Kirk), out and feel justified in doing so.
Like a choir the Deep State’s news, and vast majority of the Democrat Party, sustained this decade long constant “full court” press messaging. Fascism was virtually their only message. Notice the frequency of the word in article headings. Here are some recent examples: ABC, “Half of Americans see Donald Trump as a fascist.” POLITICO, “Trump and fascism: a pair of historians tackled the big question.” CBS News, “Trump praised Nazi generals loyalty to Hitler the Atlantic claims.” NBC news, “Kamala Harris calls Trump a ‘fascist’ as she argues he’s dangerous and unfit for office.” Rolling Stone, “Trump goes full FASCIST: whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people.” PBS, “How Trump’s rhetoric compares to historic fascism language.” CNN, “people are calling Trump a fascist. What does that mean?” “The Atlantic, “Donald Trump’s Fascist, Romp.” The New York Times, “Is Trump a fascist? This time, Mayor Adams dodges the question.” And, “Kelly’s comments about Trump, fascism and Hitler.” NPR, “Trump’s former chief of staff called him. A ‘fascist’ Harris is campaigning on that” (X22 Report hereafter not cited, Ep. 3730b, Sept. 14, 2025, 34:03). No candidate for president, nor indeed all put together, had more hate messaging against him than Trump.
Obviously Trump’s 1st term, one of the most prosperous and successful in U.S. history, followed by Joe Biden’s, likely the least, proved Trump not a fascist. Nevertheless Biden and Harris continued precisely the same messaging before and after Trump’s landslide reelection in 2024. The people knew all of the above were lies and voted for his return. The favored word describing Trump in virtually every address of Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024 was THREAT. They said, Trump (and MAGA) was “a threat to this nation,” “to our freedom,” “to the very soul of this country,” “to everything America stands for” “to our country: the right to choose, civil rights, and America’s standing in the world.” And “to democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything” (Ibid. 34:44). By this time the Democrat Party is almost entirely radicalized. The common people, not able or willing to turn off the Deep State news, or social media, and do their own hard research, in the words of Stephen Miller, “have been deeply violently radicalized. The consequence of a vast, organized ecosystem of indoctrination” (Ibid., 41:26).
Ironically on April 7, 2025, Charlie Kirk warned of the country’s assassination tolerance, “The Assassination culture is spreading on the Left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump (“Charlie Kirk Warned Of ‘Assassination Culture’ Months Before His Own Assassination,” by Natalie Sandoval, Sept. 10, 2025, Daily Caller). Kirk had no idea that many in the culture would cheer his own assassination five months later including some American Airline pilots who were caught celebrating his demise and immediately laid off by the Airlines (Ep. 3730b, Sept 14, 2025, 12:29). Most passengers would feel uncomfortable with pilots this insensitive to life and assassination and radicalized to justify it. Worse, “after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, The New York Post reports that a slew of Bluesky users have posted calls for the deaths of Tesla founder Elon Musk, President Donald Trump, author J.K. Rowling and conservative commentators Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles (“Who’s Next? Bluesky Posters Call for Deaths of Prominent Republicans, Conservative Media Figures,” American Greatness, by MtnClimber, 12 Sept. 2025).
Again, the Right does not provoke assassination or mob violence. January 6, was debunked years ago, the Left staged the violence at that event too. There have been 33 instances of major leftist violence in the United States since 2016 with the BLM riots of 2016 listed as 1st and the assassination of Charlie Kirk as 33rd. Space does not allow our identifying these but death resulted in all They can be found listed on X22 Report, Ep 3731b, Sept. 15, 2025, 41:53. All were performed by the Left and most involved trans people or Antifa.
The Left have become the domestic terrorists. The list, noted above, has them shooting up schools and churches and killing children. For a political party that hates guns so much they sure use them often (Ep, 3731b, Sept. 15, 2025, 23:27). We are nothing like them. Nothing like them at all.
