Things to Remember about Charlie Kirk

Kirk spread hate!

Kirk was known to be a gun owner himself and regularly spoke out on the issue, including on behalf of the National Rifle Association in the aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018.

At a Turning Point event in Salt Lake City in April 2023, he said, “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”

Kirk adopted a traditional Christian conservative stance in his approach to many contemporary issues, telling an audience at a Trump election rally in Georgia last fall that Democrats “stand for everything God hates” and adding: “This is a Christian state. I’d like to see it stay that way.”

He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

Generally Kirk was loyal to Trump, whom he saw as key to establishing the conservative Christian America he wanted to help realize, one in which abortion is heavily restricted to cases of medical emergency in which the mother’s life cannot be saved by any other means, women enter higher education to find husbands and “woke” ideologies play no part in public life.

Charlie Kirk said Young Women Going to college should be there only for their “MRS”

What happened to Charlie Kirk was just awful but to treat the man like he was a saint is delusional lunacy.

Caitlin Berray shares her experience going undercover at Turning Point USA’s 10th annual “Young Women’s Leadership Summit,” a three-day event in which ultra-conservative speakers groom young women to vilify feminism and serve a Christian nationalist agenda. Should women “submit to a Godly man” and spend every waking moment looking for a husband? TP USA’s Charlie Kirk says yes!

I attended Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit in Grapevine, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, on June 13–15,

Kirk’s messaging went well beyond glorifying marriage and motherhood — it resoundingly discouraged women from entering the workforce or pursuing education. At one point, Kirk professed that, “Husbands should do everything he can to not force his wife into the workforce.” But when he received an earnest question from a woman asking what federal policies he would back to make it possible for single-income households to survive financially, Kirk, predictably, did not have an answer. His solutions are not policy-based, but are instead rooted in indoctrination and unwavering obedience. In one of the two Q&A sessions Kirk led, as teenage girls lined up to ask for his wisdom on navigating school or balancing a career life with motherhood, Kirk stressed that women should not attend college and that high-school girls should prioritize marriage and children above all else. Kirk trumpeted that grades do not matter and that a true patriot should not care about them, suggesting that Christians get bad grades because they do not succumb to the “woke” teachings of the U.S. education system and the Left.

If girls do want to attend college, their end goal should not be a degree, but rather a husband, Kirk clarified. At one point, Kirk touted the idea that American society should “bring back” the “Mrs. Degree,” a concept dating back to the mid-19th century, in which women attended college with the intention of finding a husband. Kirk wants the reality for American women to be modeled after the 1950s — and a congregation of over 3,000 women and girls appeared to agree with him.

End of the United States Constitution

The war on the United States Constitution is now on full display. President Donald Trump is the leader of the war. Being no fool, Trump is chipping away rather than a full declaration that the Constitution is obsolete.  Why doing his plan this way he appears to believe he can accomplish his goal without an uprising of most people.  He is succeeding!

Trump’s attack on the free press began as he was running for his second term. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times owners nixed their editorial boards endorsements of Kamala Harris. The Times went even further than the Post when it canceled its editorial board. Why did they block the endorsements? They feared the attacks that Trump would bring to their businesses if he was elected that they were anticipating.

Now that Trump has been elected that same fear is being felt among the communication corporations.  ABC, NBC, CBS are Trump’s targets and they too have decided that it is better to accede to Trump’s demands.

From todays news:

  • President Donald Trump suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against” him.
  • Trump’s comment came a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show because of comments its host made linking the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk to Trump’s MAGA movement.
  • Trump said it would be up to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to decide whether to cancel networks’ licenses.

First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So what is next? Laws about religion?

Trump is succeeding.
