Turning Point?
This woman scares me. And I’m on her side.

I was not a big fan of Charlie Kirk. I was on his team politically, but personally there seemed to be something vaguely off-putting about him. He reminded me of those earnest Mormons who come to your door hoping to convert you. I don’t exactly dislike them, but I wonder how they can seem so certain about everything.
But Kirk’s murder was shocking. I can’t help but believe this is some sort of “turning point” in the culture wars. We do indeed live in interesting times — but not in a good way.

Kash Patel — I’ve wondered why this guy has such ardent supporters, like podcaster Tim Pool. From the Epstein files to his early bungling of the Kirk-killer manhunt, he doesn’t inspire much confidence. Plus, he has a perpetual deer-in-the-headlights look:
Please prove me wrong, Patel.

The shooting of Kirk made me angry. I don’t want revenge on leftists in the streets. I do want a strong response from Trump. I have no faith in our hapless congressmen and congresswomen.
I hate to say this, but this seems like civil war and, as the saying goes, all’s fair in love and war. So go ahead and bend some rules, Donald; even break them, if you have to. It’s what the left does.

The gleeful celebrations by leftists on social media —
If I’m honest, there were times the past five years when I’ve wished Joe Biden dead. I thought if he was killed, or just died, the world would be better off. I think this is human nature. So, I can’t get too worked up over the leftists and their tasteless, often odious, celebrations.
But I’d like to think that those feelings are temporary, and that they won’t transform into something tangible. But obviously, sometimes they do.

“Let’s just admit that both sides are guilty of this.” No, let’s not. There are exceptions, but 90 percent of political violence comes from one side, and it’s not the right.
And let’s not forget the non-political violence that stems from Democrat policies (below).
