The Left has the cities, the colleges and the universities, the K-12 public schools, the police departments and the military, and they have the ‘scientists’, the academics, and the financiers in their pockets; they have the bulk of publishers, movie makers, and media outlets, the political privileges and ‘affirmative actions’ enumerated for and enjoyed by those of their ‘protected’ class. They have the ‘justification’ of ‘social justice’ for acts of vandalism, theft, assault and murder, the claim of ‘tolerance’ where they cancel, harass and doxx. And yet, despite all of this, they claim that it’s not enough, that they’re under  attack,  and that they are doomed by ‘the right’.  The truth is that what passes as ‘the right’ today is a fabricated fiction, a convenient enemy. The arc of history for Western society has, in its clear and definitive departure from classical liberalism, demonstrated a secular shift to the radical left, with ‘the right’ (in its true form) a dista...

A despicably insensitive comment is making its rounds on social media, so ignorant and disrespectful that I hesitate to even share it here. Let it stand here as still further evidence of the evils on display in Leftist echo chambers: “If Charlie Kirk were a first grader at school America would have moved on by now.” Statistically speaking, more than one hundred and fifty thousand people died the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated: among those, at least 70 people were killed in Gaza by Israeli attacks, 35 died in Yemen due to Israeli bombings; 29 civilians died after Russian attacks around the Donetsk Oblast area, and Russian forces suffered 890 casualties, while Ukrainian military casualties also measured in the hundreds, all in the same twenty-four-hour period.  Death is all around us.  It is a constant, a sad reality of daily life and a consequence of lots of different forces and factors.  As human beings, we mourn the losses in our own ways, some more publicly than othe...

Almost immediately in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there have been religious and spiritual types calling on their followers and fellow ‘believers’ to offer ‘grace’ and ‘forgiveness’, to pray for those who have committed acts of evil; to offer these, they say, just as Jesus Christ would do the same — as if any fallible human being possesses the slightest idea of what the Omniscient thinks or knows, as if any mere mortal is remotely capable of imitating the Omnipotent in the betrayal of human emotions or visceral instincts or Earthy concepts of justice, and despite the fact that Judgment on High is separate from Justice on Earth. Scripture’s warnings about judgment are not a call to moral passivity. They are a warning against hypocrisy, not against clarity or conviction. Human beings do judge, must judge, and are right to judge; not out of divine pretense, but out of necessity — for protection, for justice, for truth.  Judgment on High may belong to God alone, ...

Some people are late to the conversation. Some think that there’s still room and time for dialogue, that those who don’t get it are still within reach, that they can still be ‘saved’; that, if we are clever and cautious enough, if we just assemble a tighter and more comprehensive argument and package it nicely enough, reason will finally prevail, and that the uninitiated will surely accept the truth when it is finally perfectly and plainly laid before them in the clearest of resolution. This is not just a pipe dream but a complete misreading of the room, a special kind of ignorance to the “godless ideology,” as Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas has described it, “that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness… and [led to the assassination of] Charlie Kirk.” Remember this: less than a year ago, half of the country was wholeheartedly prepared to vote for a senile dementia patient, Joe Biden, for the simple reason t...

Charlie Kirk is known to many as a political activist; he is known to some as a Christian; he is known to two as daddy, and to one as a husband. As of today, September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk is also known as a martyr. As of this day, Charlie will be remembered forever as a martyr, a thirty-one-year-old man who gave his last breath in his exercise of free speech and his defense of reason — on a university campus, no less, where civilized men were once encouraged to engage in the free exchange of ideas, and where the most impassioned of dialogue was meant to take place. After all, where discourse breaks down on campus, where the truth is off limits even at our supposed institutions of learning, arguments are soon substituted with assaults and the freedom of speech is effectively null. As President John F. Kennedy famously proclaimed on April 27, 1961, “ That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment — the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution — n...
