The Shocking Assassination of Charlie Kirk

By | September 12, 2025

[September 12, 2025]  Both my wife and I were shocked to our core by the news of the political assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.  We did not know Charlie except by his works, as he brought common sense and conservative messages to young people.  His death is a great loss to humanity.  We will be praying for his family and especially for his wife and two children.

He was one of the best humans our country has ever produced.  And we were inspired by his values of Christianity, love of country and its people, family, hard work, and he had an uncanny clarity in his life’s mission.  Charlie is to be saluted for his good life.

Charlie has been a target of the political Left for many years, and he knew it.  Given the information we know at this point, which is limited, we can confidently assume that the assassination was politically motivated.   NY Post’s Miranda Devine writes in her column that this “assassination is the latest evidence that US is suffering an epidemic of leftist violence.”

For anyone listening to Leftists in America, they are telling us they are at war with Christians, Conservatives, Jews, whites, families, and those who support “law and order.”  We are categorized as the evil oppressors of people of color and the LGBTQ community. And we must be attacked violently, just for our skin color.  We see this message regurgitated every day in the legacy media and in the words of Democrat Party politicians.

“Assassination culture is spreading on the Left.  Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk.  Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.” – Charlie Kirk 

He knew that his life was on the line.  As a Christian, he was always polite and respectful, even when confronted at his events by deranged students who would call him “Hitler” and “fascist.”  Of course, he challenged them to give just one example, and they never could, often storming off while cussing and in a fit of rage.

Charlie Kirk won the hearts and minds on college campuses, and this made him a threat to the Left’s political cartels.  And, he was a major factor in getting Donald Trump elected in 2024.  This is why Leftists had to lie about him and did this by labeling him as hate-filled and violent.  Of course, he was neither.  I believe his practiced approach was the reason so many college students listened to him.

Charlie Kirk exposed the political Left for what it was: a lie, and that made them furious.  For them he had to die.  Now, they are gloating all over social media, as they enjoy reveling in Charlie’s death.

“You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when a person dies.” – Charlie Kirk

What is impressive is all that he accomplished in his 31 years here on Earth.  He is walking now with God.  Blessings to him and his family.

    I’m still in shock. But it makes me happy (I’m embarrassed to say) when I see these libtards getting fired from their jobs for celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I still can’t believe he is gone.

    ….. and I’m not a citizen of America! We are all now Charlie Kirk and stand against those who would celebrate the assassination of a man who was a good Christian, family man, and who preached non-violent means of getting the word out about how to be a good person.

    Great post, thanks. And another angle at this from today (13 Sep 2025) about how to stop using vitriolic language as a tool to get votes. John Hinderaker gives us some good ideas.

    The question is not why do Liberals (the forces of evil trying to destroy this country and all of western civilization) call the President, Charlie and other political opponents Hitler, but rather why do leftists fall for such an obvious lie. The short answer must be because leftists/totalitarians want to. I am not sure what they get out of that but ironically hate (which they projected on Charlie) seems to sell. This says it all. And they are the very fascists they are fighting against (or at least that is what they say).

      Good point, LM. But trying to figure out a liberal/leftist/progressive/democrat is like trying to figure out a raccoon with rabies. There is not understanding crazy and hate and narcissism combines.

    ‘When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When you stop having a human connection to someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence.’ – Charlie Kirk

    The prevailing culture of academia in recent years has been one in which many faculty members and students took the position that speech with which they disagreed was a form of violence. And now we see the results.

      President Trump appeared live on Fox & Friends. Per Axios and National Review, we learn that he announced “with a high degree of certainty” that the suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk is in custody. Trump said he learned of the development five minutes before the interview and that law enforcement would release more details later today. “With a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody,” Trump said. “I hope he gets the death penalty,” the president added. Politico adds that Trump qualified his statement “based on what I’m hearing” and that he is “always subject to be corrected,”. Politico is a POS organization. More to come. I can’t wait to hear this commie, Democrat, liberal sing.

    Anyone remember the cheering guy in the crowd (caught on camera)? See him in this YouTube video.. https://youtu.be/rRBDkJuJgC4?si=AadF1mqOWl9YSkDj.
    1. He wasn’t afraid.
    2. He wasn’t surprised.
    3. He was happy by the blood that traumatized everyone else.
    4. He cheered for murder.
    5. Now he’s crying for getting caught.
    Let’s make him famous for being an evil douchbag.

    From Roger on PowerLineBlog yesterday.
    “I don’t hate people. I think that crosses a line to say you hate them. However, if she was on the sidewalk and there was a big puddle next to the sidewalk, I feel confident I would run my truck through the puddle. She is a garbage human that doesn’t deserve the gifts she has been given. There are people in this world that would love this country, its ideals, and add to it to make it a more wonderful place. Omar is none of that. She is an ungrateful con-woman acting as a statesperson we should honor. She makes me sick.”

    What’s crazy is that so many of these disgusting people “celebrating” the death of Charlie Kirk work as Teachers, healthcare workers, and government employees. What’s up with that?

      “This is the last thing the Democrats needed. All they have left is Zohran Mamdani and Gavin Newsom’s meme factory of would-be nepo babies of the Lincoln Project. They have no vision, no hope, no policies, no fixes, no solutions – nothing. All they have is this. Their hatred of anyone who doesn’t conform and comply.” — Sasha Stone, in a great article titled, “ The Left Red-Pills America…”

    Shameful US representative Ileana Omar, while grinning, says Charlie Kirk deserved it and had it coming: “He downplayed George Floyd and slavery.” “People say he wanted to have a civil debate … It’s bullshit.”
    —— I want her deported. Immediately. Such a gross, embarrassing, anti-American, racist bigot. ——

      She just can’t help herself. From the New York Post, https://nypost.com/2025/09/11/us-news/rep-ilhan-omar-cruelly-stomps-on-conservative-activist-charlie-kirks-legacy-full-of-s/

      Ilhan Omar cruelly stomps on Charlie Kirk’s legacy: ‘Full of s–t’.

      The occasion was a recorded internet video interview. Quotes from the Post,

      Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his core mission was to have a civil debate on politics.

      “There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s— and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness”

      Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed George Floyd and opposed Juneteenth.

    As of this morning, they’ve not caught the assassin. I’m sure they will. There is too much video evidence in high quality to get a good idea who he might be. And, let’s help insure he gets the death penalty. Or, just send him to Texas for draw and quartering.

    Thank you, General Satterfield and your wife for giving us some satisfaction that Charlie Kirk was no aberration but a rising phenomenon that puts God, family, and country first over the mentally insane politicians of the radical Left. The Democrat Party is dead to me. I’m ashamed to admit that I was once a Democrat but I’ve awoken to their evil.
