IT’S MIDNIGHT. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR WRITER IS? Skip Hayden Goes Kpop. (Contains very silly video and music.)
Yes, I do know what happened. It’s just when it happened, this time, I wasn’t cleaning house. I was being very silly and making videos to go with the music I felt compelled to write for the book. (Yes, I know the lips don’t synch and neither do the movements. Yet. This is minimum viable product. Very minimum. As always I learn new tech by screaming and hitting my head on the desk and saying I can’t, till it clicks and then I can do all the things. It’s a stupid process, but it’s mine.) Then I came to the computer to share it and–
Well. It is what it is. I promise tomorrow I’ll work (Or nap. I’m still sick. Just in case my playing with video tools has the same effects as house cleaning.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
THE KEY WORD IS “CLAIM:”
Charlie Kirk was the kind of conservative that progressives claim to like. Calm, rational, substantive, open to respectful engagement with the other side. But they unremittingly demonized him anyway.

Charlie challenged the Left in good faith to honest debates about the soul and future of America. They shot him for it. https://t.co/CpiYySAFtR

A generation of nutjobs have convinced themselves that disagreeing with them, and not simply giving them whatever they want, is violence and even genocide.
And so they view physical violence against people who disagree with them as justified. https://t.co/ZAtF8VPtTe

MORE:
Charlie’s assassination proves that this is no longer a debate of ideas.
The Left lost the debate, so they resorted to violence.
The Left have breached the social contract. They lie, cheat, steal, and murder, to get their way.
We are at war, whether you know it or not.

Today was an inflection point. The assassination of Charlie Kirk, coming on the heels of Iryna Zarutska's murder, is the perfect storm.
There is no turning back from what happens now.
The Left gloats because they don't understand what is happening.
Today will be shock.

Following some snide comments on X today, I feel I need to make the following observation:
If guns caused political violence, there would already be a lot of dead Communists in the streets.

The center holds. Barely. For now. Don’t take that for granted. Reader John Steakley writes:
The right thinks the left is stupid. The left thinks the right is evil.
I confess that it took me a while to fully understand what this statement meant. What it’s saying is that the right measures the left intellectually, but the left measures the right emotionally. Each side concludes that the other fails.
The right says that the left’s math doesn’t add up. The left says that the math is irrelevant as long as the outcome feels good.
But each side’s response to the other is starkly different. One side doesn’t resort to violence against those who can’t do math, but the other side proudly resorts to violence against those on the right cast as evil.
These two sides aren’t even speaking the same language. They aren’t pursuing the same goals. And they aren’t measuring each other or themselves by the same standards.
The right is appalled by Charlie Kirk‘s murder. But if it turns out to be a politically-motivated murder, the left will ultimately feel it as emotionally justified (despite whatever lip service they initially offer). And that feeling in the heart of the passionate left will invariably shock the cooler minds on the right.
This is where the right faces an existential decision: do they cower away from the emotional violence, resort to counter-violence, or stick together and stay the peaceful intellectual course?
I hope they choose the third option. But it is always the most difficult.
Indeed.
GUTFELD DROPS F-BOMB AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S MURDER, ISSUES WARNING TO THE LEFT:
“Yeah, I know that it’s somewhat a object of mockery to say ‘thoughts and prayers,’ but… thoughts and prayers for his family, um, they need it from all of us,” Gutfeld said.
For all the political implications, he reminded viewers that at the center of this horrific act is a young family mourning an unspeakable loss.
From there, Gutfeld turned to the bigger picture: “And Jesse’s right, if they can do this, they are capable of anything. I think that was the message, I believe that was the message.”
Make no mistake about it, the assassination of Kirk was not simply an attack on one man. It was a warning shot to every conservative willing to stand up to the left’s cultural and political assault on our country. Gutfeld’s words reflected what many instinctively know: This was meant to terrify, to silence, and to end the momentum that Kirk helped build through Turning Point USA and his unapologetically conservative media presence.
But if those responsible thought violence would shut conservatives down, Gutfeld argued, they’ve made a grave mistake. “Um, it’s really hard to radicalize Republicans,” he noted.
“You know, it’s like we’re not the radical type. But if you thought that you were gonna shut a movement down, you’re gonna get a rude awakening. You woke us the f**k up.”
If Glenn’s X feed is any indication, I don’t think the left realizes what the last decade has the potential for unleashing:
THE LONDON TELEGRAPH: Charlie Kirk: The Maga ally committed to speaking across the divide.
Charlie Kirk leaned into his reputation as a deeply polarising figure, taking his conservative message to the most hostile places he could imagine: America’s college campuses.
This helped him build his Turning Point USA movement into a fundraising giant and catapulted him into the highest echelons of Trump world.
On Wednesday he took his rapier wit and his “Prove Me Wrong” roadshow to Utah Valley University. It proved to be his final appearance.
He was cut down by a gunman’s bullet as he answered questions about mass shootings in America.
President Donald Trump announced his death, illustrating the power of the 31-year-old’s reach.
“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Kirk exemplified the confrontational, populist conservatism that brought Mr Trump to power.
Other than being a skilled debater, there was nothing “confrontational” about Kirk’s style. I very much hope I’m wrong, but that may not be true of those who replace him.
Charlie Kirk just went around debating college kids who had likely never heard a viewpoint outside the narrow ones they had been taught. He used words, ideas, that’s it. And someone found this so threatening that they decided to kill him for it.

NEW YORK YANKEES HOLD MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR CHARLIE KIRK:
This is a beautiful gesture and is how you unify the country against these acts of evil. The fact that far-left psychos will complain about it it is exactly why it’s necessary — it needs to be emphatically clear that political assassinations will only backfire https://t.co/RtbsZlvZ5W
