Warning: I wanted to move on from this saga but the media has made that impossible….this is my thoughts on this whole thing and I will probably go off into some rants that may offend some readers that have a dislike for harsh words….if the reader is one of those people than I suggest that they move on from this post and go to TikTok and watch some funny cat videos.
Donny and his silly ilk are painting Charlie in a light he does not deserve….especially by MAGA supporters….its is fucking bullshit.
But Kirk was no hero. The record is clear. If Kirk was a victim of a pernicious culture of violence in America, it must also be acknowledged that he was an author of that culture.
His primary accomplishment in life was to foment hatred and division across the United States. He blamed all of America’s ills on the left, and cheered violent attacks on Democrats. He fought against equal rights for many Americans; some of his last words were condemning women’s reproductive freedoms. He promoted America’s gun pathology (Ironic isn’t it), and asserted the death of innocents was an acceptable cost for that culture.

A ‘martyr’?
Charlie was not what I would call a compassionate person….he proved it every time he opened his mouth….
One of Charlie Kirk’s most controversial statements comes from a Turning Point USA Faith event Q&A (starting around the 1:13:00 mark) in April 2023 where he was fielding a question about gun rights:
“It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights… That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”
On the October 12, 2022, episode of his podcast (around 36:40), Charlie Kirk stated:
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage.”
During a TPUSA Faith event on March 21, 2025, Charlie Kirk criticized birth control (around 36:50), stating:
“…birth control really screws up female brains, by the way. Every single one of you needs to make sure that your loved ones are not on birth control. It increases depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Birth control is the number one prescribed medication for young ladies under the age of 25. They will give young ladies birth control for pimples, for acne, to control their moods, and their period. It is awful, it’s terrible, and it creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women.”
Just a few of Charlie’s words of wisdom (that is also sarcasm)….
The MAGA silliness and even the puke spilling from Donny’s useless mouth praise this worthless POS….
Imagine that President Donald Trump actively wanted to encourage radical right-wing groups and “lone wolf” individuals to wage open violent warfare on anyone they deem a leftist anywhere in America. If Trump wanted to send that precise message, he could hardly do much better than the words he actually did deliver on Fox and Friends on Friday morning.
…
Look at what the president said just after the assassination of Kirk:
For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country and must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges and law enforcement officials.
As Jonathan Chait notes, here Trump treats political violence as if it only exists on one side of the spectrum. I’d add something else: I’m unaware of any other recent president explicitly vowing to unleash the power of the American state on a vast, inchoate ideological group in quite this way.
Trump’s wording in this prewritten speech is deliberate: He says his administration will target everyone it can find who contributed to the assassination of Kirk. The clear message is that anyone who can be blamed for Kirk’s death even speciously and pretextually is now subject to retribution by the full force of the government and Trump’s security services. Note that this includes liberal-left “organizations” as well.
“The radicals on the left are the problem,” he continued, “and they’re vicious and they’re horrible and they’re politically savvy.”

The fucking dipshit we call ‘president’ is doing what he did for those treasonous bastards on 06 January giving them permission to take the law in the own hands.
It seems clear that Trump isn’t interested in turning down the temperature on political tensions in the United States, and he’s just given the go-ahead to right-wing radicals to take matters into their own hands.
Within hours of Kirk’s death and without knowing any information about the shooter, Trump blamed the “radical left” and their rhetoric for political violence by “demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year in the most hateful and despicable way possible.”
Radicals on the Left? Yes they are some radicals but so far not one of them has taken up to assassination and besides has any of these dickless morons mentioned the the shooter was an independent that comes from a Republican family? (Of course for that would defeat Donny’s effort to turn this situation into the emergency he needs to go beyond)
Just for the MAGA supporters that think they are all that….Democrats are NOT radical Left. Democrats are not socialists. To believe otherwise makes them fucking mindless assholes.
Apparently none of the mindless herd does see any problem with the lameass rhetoric of their leaders just as they still defend those pricks on 06 January.
None of what they are saying or doing will solve the problem of these assholes and their guns. And what kind of leaders shoots off a dumbass mouth in this way?
I have had about a fucking enough of these cocksuckers and their lies and actions….
We can all look for some sort of ‘Reichstag’ fire moment coming.
Makes me so proud to be an American. (And that is fucking sarcasm douche bag).
More thoughts on this propaganda.
I am under no obligation to mourn….but in this case I will mourn not for the person but for the nation he and his ilk have tried so hard to destroy.
Enough said!
If you were offended all I can say is you were warned.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Nice effort but you can’t preach to the choir.
That choir is a bunch of no class losers that we would be better off without. chuq
by the time this has mellowed out, Trump will be nominating this dude for Sainthood, and possibly a new face on that awful mountain carved into Presidents. Rushmore, that’s it. The mess is, alllll the people who love Trump (wait until the reckoning for that one) are now mourning the loss of a great american whatever. Those who can see it in a different stripe are mourning the loss of sanity. Your choice.
It’s always too bad when someone in public gets shot, and it’s messy. But when the Someone is then elevated to Sainthood, it’s beyond messy. It’s just insane.
Mourn the loss of sanity….well said. chuq
I confess that I relish the irony when someone who advocates personal guns for all under the second amendment becomes a victim of one of those very guns he championed. It also seems fishy to me that rooftops within a killing rifle range of Kirk were not checked by law enforcement, or patrolled by them. It’s almost as if they wanted a ‘new martyr’ for MAGA.
Best wishes, Pete.
The did need this guy….now Donny can almost get his way with all the taking of civil liberties. chuq
His comments about women and birth control made me want to spit at the computer screen!! It just angers me to my core when MEN try to tell women how they should live their lives. ESPECIALLY when it comes to birth control and/or abortion!
Good riddance, Kirk!!! This world is far better off without you in it.
AMEN! chuq
I do not condone what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk did. Just like Horst Vessel condoned the type of violence, that became his fate. Perhaps someone will write new words for that song.
This is not just a US problem. In the UK, during this past weekend, a rally of about 150 000 rightwingers, originally for freedom of speech, was dedicated to Kirk, and four police officers were seriously injured. Did the demonstrators really think those police officers were there to repress their freedom of speech? How is the freedom of speech under any threat in the UK?
A web of lies by opportunistic right-wing Populists has made the mob angry in and around Western World. This effort is supported behind the scenes by a bunch of authoritarian dictators, who share the same Fascistic core values. People are right to be angry, but now their anger is being abused and redirected, so they would not be angry at their exploiters, the Oligarchs and big time Capitalists, but at the leftist and Liberal “elites” in Academia. They should fear the climate change and growing division between the priviledged and the unpriviledged, but instead they are being led to fear of losing their own priviledges, what ever little they think they should hold in comparrison to some even less fortunate. People in the UK are a prime example of what this sort of lunacy causes. They voted for the Brexit, because these right-wing extremists promised to save the fishermen, the economy, the national health services and stop immigration. None of this came to pass, because it was all just lies.
It is almost as if those who now bemoan the loss of Charlie, defouled his legacy by not respecting his sacrifice – willingly given – to uphold the liberty to tote guns, what ever sort of nutjob you are. Is it not?
Well said and I am still looking for these far Left people that I keep hearing about….they are a mythical beast. chuq
Haha! I think I know a couple of them. If it qualifies as “far left”, that they sit in the pub talking about the need for equality.
What I find absurd about this murder + circumstances before and after, is how Charlie Kirk tried to profile himself as this champion for freedom of speech, and this is how he has been described by the very same people who now claim his murder was a direct consequence of how the Democrats talked about him. Trump himself was very vocal about how Charlie and others have been described as Hitler, by the Democrats. Did he refer to JD Vance, who compared Donald to Hitler not so long ago?
So, is there hope in the air, that the right finally acknowledge there are consequences to mere words? Would they now want to restrict the sort of freedom of speech, that may lead to violence?
Consequences for only those that disagree….their words are pure and peaceful….(my ass) chuq
While they are canonizing kirk and demonizing the left and claiming the left’s “violent rhetoric” is responsible for the violence, a Fox News personality just declared the other day that the solution to the homeless problem was to execute them.
That slug has apologized for his statement but his words are still out there….all this rhetoric about violence while promoting violence….hypocritical trolls. chuq
