Tuesday - Night

I have been following the news today, so I was rather shocked after having turned it off and maybe half an hour later, seeing the news of Charlie Kirk being shot at a rally he was holding at a university in Utah.  The first video I saw was from afar, looked like someone taking video on a balcony somewhere. The second video, however, was up close and hard to watch.

The video showed Charlie in the middle of sentence when you hear a shot ring out.  A flash of a second later, Charlie is hit by the bullet in his neck, he starts falling backward and a LOT of blood starts gushing out of his neck.  I immediately thought, this isn't survivable but I put out a plea for prayers for him anyway.

It wasn't much later that they declared that Charlie had passed away. I can tell you that I have watched probably hundreds of his videos on both YouTube and Facebook debating mostly college students who vehemently disagree with him, many of which immediately go into name-calling and denigration. But Charlie took it all in stride, would hear them out but then he would fire back facts at them.  

Charlie was at least in part part of the reason Trump was elected. He took the battle to the colleges, where there are plenty of potential voters whose minds are being subverted with leftist propaganda.  He spoke out against deviant sexuality being taught in schools, confronted people about their beliefs on abortion, trans and a host of other issues both political and personal.  He had a lasting impression on so many youth, he was a godly man, loved the Lord Jesus Christ and had no problem speaking His Name - Jesus! - to everyone whether they wanted to hear it or not.  

I don't know if they can replace him in the organization that he put together - Turning Point USA - that had millions of people following and subscribing to it.  

I think the name of his organization is fitting for this event.  Enough!  It is time for all patriotic Americans to take a stand against the far leftist ideology that is attempting to destroy this nation.  I am not calling for violence, I am calling for a definitive stand to push back on this at every turn, whether you see it online, in person, on the phone, friends, relatives, whoever.  Remember, the left called the rioting going on in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, LA etc "peaceful protests" While entire blocks were being burned down, police were being assaulted and people were being assaulted. 

I have a long memory for the violence the left has not only condoned but have asked for.  Maxine Watters infamous speech telling everyone to turn against cabinet members, saying just short of violence against them.  

It is a sad day in America.  For me it is anyway and a lot of people like-minded.  

And the left reaction was expected even if shocking in nature.  Pritzker declaring that Trump and his supporters are complicit in the violence that is occurring in the US.  NUMEROUS MSNBC commentators making outrageous statements, one of them staying that Charlie created the conditions for his own demise and basically saying he got what he deserved! What SICK people these are! What would really be great is to find ways to put these mouthpieces of evil out of business. MSNBC and CNN especially, but a LOT more as well.  

These people are evil, godless and hate America. Period. 

I have been watching the footage off and on and I can tell you, until they announced his death, I was really hoping that he would pull through this.  I was hoping the Lord would intervene, but alas, God had different plans.  Charlie is with Him in heaven now. His death is horrific but there is also peace that he is in eternity with Christ.  

I can't imagine the grief his wife is going through or thinking about his young daughters growing up without a father. How do you explain such a thing to kids that young?  Where is daddy? When is he coming home?  How do you explain to them that daddy is NEVER coming home?!

I am disgusted and repulsed by this event not just for the shooter but for the leftist reaction already being exhibited just HOURS after the man's death.  They are heartless, cruel, uncaring and hateful people, the entirety of the left. Sorry, NOT sorry to say that.  I have had enough conversations with them, I have watched their politicians, I have heard their actors speeches, I know how they think.

Only God can change all of this.  To be honest, the only thing that will work is prayer.  This nation is filled with evil.  Look at all the unborn babies being killed every year.  I don't want to go into a whole list here, I am really put off by all of this.  A movement has to rise up, if possible and if it's in God's will.  Something has to happen that changes the focus of citizens.  I point to Jesus, my Lord and Savior!  HE is the hope of this world!  

Wednesday - early

This fast is kicking my @$$.  Headache, feeling of ...ugh...just a bit nasty.  I've got another 12 hours and then I can break it.  

Trump. Well, he has lost a few of the court battles, but the one that is irritating democrats the most or certainly high on the list he just won.  

That's the immigration raids in LA.  A lower court had halted them but now the SCOTUS has weighed in.  Democrats are predicting a "parade of racial terror".  These people are so disingenuous and just plain liars.  These leaders know that what they are saying is patently false, but they go around proclaiming their fictitiousness from the rooftops in order to try and do what? Sway voter opinion, of course.

They've lost power, at least temporarily, and they can't stand it.  Republicans have been sidelined for 4 years with the communist Biden administration, it's no wonder they can't deal with the nation being reverted back to patriotism and a sense of self determination, ie: that the entire world can't just march across our borders and start taking up positions of power.  Or just taking our jobs.  Filling up our health care system to the brink of bankruptcy, at least in rural communities.  

BTW, I'm all for RFK Jr's direction to make America healthy again. I have been doing a great deal of research on fasting and it ultimately led me to the types of foods that we are being offered at the grocery stores, the fast food places, everywhere we eat, basically.  We eat too much food and a lot of the food we eat is basically poison to our bodies.  We are fat and sick.  

It doesn't help that the chemical laden garbage we are eating is the cheap stuff, if you want to eat healthy? You better have the bucks to back it up, because healthy eating isn't what corporate America wants.  It keeps people dependent on endless visits to doctor's offices and taking all kinds of pills.  This is as much about the pharmaceutical industry as it is about the food industry. I'd say they work hand in hand.

Doctors treat symptoms, they don't find the root causes.  It's as if they want you to stay sick and dependent, the whole lot of them. Politicians don't care, as long as they are in positions of power and filling up their coffers, they are perfectly happy with the status quo. 

Anyway, Dems are having yet another meltdown over ICE raids and maybe in a future setting, 50 years from now, it might be humorous to look at what "those people were doing" back then, actually supporting the overtaking of our nation by foreign actors through the means over simply walking across our borders and engaging in anti-American activities designed to change the American way of life.  

Now I'm not trying to say that a lot of them aren't "just" coming here to find better opportunities or even have food to eat. I'm all for feeding the hungry, I have been doing that for many years starting in the mid 80's.  But I have to pay for my food and my health care.  I don't get freebies and I don't expect them.  I can't go to THEIR nations and ask their government to basically give me a free ride, they won't even let you through their borders and if you're caught, some countries impose very stiff penalties.  You will certainly be deported if nothing else.  So why is it that democrats think the entire billions of people in this world should just be let in here?

It's unsustainable.  It's not realistic.  

I'll get off of my soapbox, my time is running out.  I woke up early. Not 3 am early but earlier than the alarm.  I tried to go back to sleep but that was a non-happening event and I just ended up getting my day started.  I will try to get through this day without too much brain chatter telling me it's time to eat, dinner is only 11 hours a way.  Salmon patties and rice.  Probably a little salad and maybe some bone broth soup just before dinner to kick start the internal digestive system? I dunno.  Maybe.  

G'day
