It's been a tough 2025 so far. So much death. So much hassle in my life. So much family trama that has pushed our family to the limit. Life long friends that have angrily declared "You're not a friend you are in fact my enemy." Ungrateful children, for they are both ungrateful and children. Until one has a child of their own or has experience true loss they fail to fully grasp that life is truly fragile and short. I believe one remains a child until we have a child or experience devistating loss. Many of us die as children which isn't as bad as dying without belief.
Charlie Cook was not a child and he died with belief. At 18 he figured things out that take most of us decades. At 31 he helped create a movement, a loving marriage and two beautiful children. Charlie Kirk's life was ended because a young man killed someone he didn't know. Had the assassin known Charlie he would have known his motto "Prove Me Wrong" was not a message of hate.
Although the media characterized Charlie as a NeoNazi he wasn't and he definitely wasn't spreading hate. Charlie would simply debate the Left and more often than not give away a hat or something else to those he disagreed with. Charlie was known for his willingness to talk to anyone and I can't remember him ever raising his voice.
The Left focuses on January 6th while absolutely ignoring months of "mostly peaceful" rioting. The George Floyd riots resulted in thousands injured, two dozen deaths, 700 buildings burnt, countless businesses shut down, hundreds of businesses utterly destroyed never to return. Estimates of the damage done by the "mostly peaceful" riot costs are in the billions, a quarter of which were not covered by insurance.
Officially many on the Left disavow Charlie Kirk's assassin while secretly (many openly) cheering on the killing. For the first time in my memory a handful of media "icons" have been fired or suspended for their dishonest at best and at times just insidious commentary.
The Left goes on about "Extreme Right MAGA Fascists" while to this day declaring Antifia does not exist. Their arguments on face fail the test of time let alone logic. As stupid as calling a practicing Jew a Nazi their repeated characterization of Charlie Kirk as a NeoNazi filled with hate is so inaccurate as to be laughable... Until it's not. How many in the media cancel culture or academia have be fired for attacking Charle in life or death? For the first time in my life the Left is finally experiencing a tiny taste of the cancel culture they have for years unleashed on the Right and collectively they are angry!
What's so sad is Charlie Kirk very much wanted both sides to just talk. His wanting to end college and university leftist ideology indoctrination of our nation's youth. For this this he was killed. He wanted people to talk to each other with the belief discussion could might sway one more person to see the world as he did and experience God's love.
Here is a great podcast explaining all of this:
Sasha Stone "It's too Late to Cry"
One insanely disgusting comment finally motivated me to blog about this: "Rest in Piss Charlie Kirk". Who would say something like that? Clearly someone without any class or knowledge who Charlie was in life. Charlie, I never meet you but I always appreciated your willingness to talk to the other side. Thank you and may you rest in peace brother.
