Wednesday Morning Rant
The global aspect of the response came entirely out of left field for me. Protesters in Korea called him out during their demonstration. Tommy Robinson dedicated part of his UK protest to Kirk. In Australia, anti-corruption protesters included a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. There have been vigils, placards, etc. in honor of Charlie Kirk at US embassies in at least Spain, Italy and Germany. I've seen reports of memorials or vigils in Japan, South Africa, New Zealand and others.
Politicians the world over have chimed in, too - and the list will sadly surprise nobody. Milei (Argentina), Meloni (Italy), Orban (Hungary) and even Nawrocki (Poland) all made statements condemning the murder and praising Kirk. On the other side, the EU Parliament thought it important enough to follow the Democrats' lead and disrupt a moment of silence for Kirk when called for in their chamber. Personally, I have received a couple of texts from acquaintances in foreign countries about the assassination and the reactions to it where they live. He was an American, discussing American issues but nonetheless apparently had a truly global influence and effect. It seems that to the degree our issues are common throughout the civilized world, so to was his popularity. Then, of course, has been the street-level response. The firing/punishment campaign against social media leftists has been astonishing in its speed, breadth and depth. I have never once in my life seen a leftist punished for being vicious or awful, but I sure have this week. Even more casually, half the conversations I've overheard in public this past week have been about Kirk, in one way or another. Just as interesting, I know a few people who never find a lefty cause unworthy of vocal support who have been oddly quiet. People who are never quiet about anything are not shouting for the first time. I always viewed Kirk as an important and popular conservative activist. I had absolutely no idea how wide his reach was. Perhaps as a result of not being in his target audience, I was not aware of just how popular Kirk was to the younger crowd. His target audience - those in the heart of darkness that is the American university complex - dared to have memorials for him on campuses across multiple countries. His reach was broader than I ever imagined.Comments

I too was surprised by the outpouring of grief and memorials, and the fact that I was so unsettled and depressed by his assassination.
Maybe due to his youth and vitality, it is just instinctive for a human to be shocked and griefstricken by the abrupt end of so much positive potential.

A manhunt is underway in Pittsburgh for a man accused of what the FBI is calling a terror attack on the agency's Pittsburgh field office.
At approximately 2:40 am EST, the suspect rammed his car into the gate of the FBI's Pittsburgh Field Office in the city's South Side Neighborhood. The high-speed collision failed to breach the gate. The driver exited the vehicle and fled on foot after throwing an American flag over the fence.

there are demorats leaving the plantation because they are disgusted by the soulless ghouls dancing on Charlie's grave.
There are OF models, atheists, and even satanists who are abandoning their sordid lifestyles and reaching out to a new perspective on spirituality, if not outright embracing Christianity.

This is about to get really, really ugly, if so.
Neville Singham is the guy funding all the worst of the worst extremist and radial Pali protesters.
He's basically living in exile in Hong Kong, protected by China, because of how openly he's been funding terrorism.
I'm really hoping Trump has already quietly signed the declaration that Kirk's murder wasn't just domestic terrorism but international terrorism.

I'm with you. I never gave the man much thought--a noble if quixotic mission, as I saw it. Then they...
I will use the proper word: They martyred him.
I have always understood there are few things more dangerous than creating a martyr. The Left tries, but their failure to understand always shows. And now one man's mission stands on the edge of becoming a crusade.
I was surprised by the global response, too. I think it's a sign of things to come.

I have seen YouTube commentary that churches suddenly filled this past Sunday. I didn't see a big uptick at my parish, but it's likely the non-denom churches that experienced more rear ends in the seats.
I don't know if Catholic churches saw a big rush of people back to the pews, such as happened in the wake of the WTC attack in 2001... although some prominent YT priests immediately posted tributes to Charlie after his killing.

FBI has down graded the attack on the agency's Pittsburgh field office.
Donald Henson, who is reported to have a long history of mental illness, was at the FBI field office a couple of weeks ago to make what is described as a nonsensical complaint. It's not known if that interaction led to this morning's attack, but the FBI emphasized that he is considered to be dangerous.

Charlie probably reached and converted more people in death than he did in life.
I think the murder backfired, bigly. I also had little idea who Charlie was, other than that he was on our side and was a good advocate for our cause.
Now everybody knows who he was, what he stood for, and the more they see about him the more they like. And people see what bloodthirsty, mutated, perverted ghouls the left are.
The murder had the opposite effect than intended.

oh...speaking of Catholic church, etc...
to my Catholic brethren and sistern...please be aware there are a couple YouTube channels that publish speeches purporting authorship to Pope Leo XIV. They are nothing of the sort. They are AI generated.
The latest one is a long statement about Charlie Kirk's death, with dire warnings about future persecution of Christians. This statement did not issue from the Vatican or from the office of Pope Leo 14 himself.
I thought it was kind of odd when the one channel, Noble Spirit would post speeches by Pope Leo advising people to throw garlic in the toilet in order to get rich.

Those that hated him and wished for or celebrated his death never once listened to him speak, watched a video or did any research on their own.
They only heard the left wing media tear him apart by lying incessantly about him, who he was and things he said. They played snippets and clips without providing the context, ever, at any time.
"He hates gays and wants them stoned" was the biggest and brightest I'd seen recently. They shoved that one down everyone's throat.
Oh, and I hear Milo is considering coming out of 'retirement' to carry on for Charlie. Not sure what that'll do, but there it is.

‘ I agree 100% - I had no idea how fervent his supporters are, or how wide his influence was.’
No kidding. In addition to his other virtues, Charlie Kirk was an exceptionally industrious man.

"His reach was broader than I ever imagined."
Same here. I knew a little about him, saw a few of videos but had no idea about his popularity. Or how much the left hated him.
Which got me wondering about the lefts insane reaction. How many of them knew anything about Charles Kirk beyond he was a conservative activist (or even that?). I'm betting not many. Yet they hated him intensely. Or more precisely, they could call up a white hot hate as required by the hive. That hate could be directed at anybody on the right anytime as required. This is the madness of mobs on display. That is disturbing.

What I am seeing is unlikely people, many of them very apolitical, many in their 60s or 70s who had never heard of him, becoming curious in the aftermath of the shock of a public assasination and seeking out his podcasts.
They almost unanimously find they actually agree with most of what he said, have huge respect for how he conducted himself in debate settings, and as a result, are even more horrified by the gleeful response of the left and the perfidity of the media.

YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X....... you name it.... were full of Charlie Kirk videos....... which is what gave him world-wide exposure to people of all ages.

Meanwhile, a Harvard professor wrote a book saying that it is just too gosh-darn difficult to amend the Constitution, which is getting a lot of press.
Her two main examples?
The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment to pass, along with an 1960's effort to abolish the Electoral College.
She's preparing the ground for wholesale illegal revisions to the Constitution when her people return to power.

Lots of young people in my church last Sunday, but we already reach out to the students at the local university. They were there for evening prayers in the evening service and a young man from RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) lead a prayer that touched on both Charlie and Iryna. My prayer group also prayed concerning Charlie and Iryna and the trend to violence from some in our country. The pastor’s morning sermon on Sunday acknowledged Charlie’s place with God in Heaven, but spent more time on Iryna’s murder. People of faith are hurt, angry, and grieving.

Willowed,
I've been telling her to delete her social media for a couple of years because it just feeds this paranoia. So...maybe she'll start to calm the fuck down.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
=====
My personal guess is that Dolley is trying to process too many different social networks of friends--in person, at work, social media friendz/contacts, linked in, etc. Basically communications overload with no way to have common denominators to resolve conflicts.
And social media algorithms are there to push out more and more anxiety provoking content to people because it pokes at the subliminal lizard brain, not the conscious one. And scare and shame used on social media (and media in general such as local news casts) are toxic long term corrosives on a person's well being by attacking that lizard brain female need for belonging and socializes. Makes every action seem problematic.
Given what you say about what she does in the past, I would also imagine that her antenna are much more sensitive to threats than others would be and social media is literally overloading her with potential threats of all sorts beyond her professional worries.

Mangione murdered a corporate exec. Sponky murdered Charlie.
Corporate sees its employees embracing murder as a form of protest. Firing the revelers is a mercenary move of self preservation by Corporate not a retaliation to the evil leftism.

plus it was the Pope's birthday, and he's an Augustinian like Leo XIV, so he was all fangirly about that auspicious event.
but I was very surprised that Charlie Kirk was not mentioned during the Prayers of the Faithful. I am going to have a mass offered for him so that they will have to announce his name in church and in the bulletin.

A couple of observations, with a week's space here.
1. My lesson of the last 15 years, and perhaps one that should have been learned 50-60 years prior as well... you need to draw a hard line with your kids before they are adults. I am a parent, I understand, but if they turn commie (or islamist, for that matter), you need to cut them loose, and they need to KNOW this, and know WHY. No support. No money. Get the fuck out until you unfuck yourself. Looking at what's been reported of how this shooter's family interacted with him, especially the mother - tired of seeing little dipshits commit leftist violence or generic psychotic stuff being enabled by squish parents. And you MUST know what your kid is up to; this twerp clearly started veering left as a minor, it's plain as day.
2. It's clear we're not done with the crescendo of outrage yet, we have many more levels to dial it up. You know how I know? No run on arms yet. I know these newly-appalled moderates and centrists aren't armed to the rafters (as we are); if they're not fixing that, it's because they're still in shock. Further incidents or the progs doubling down more may speed up their awakening.

Pope Leo XIV told the new U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, Brian Burch, that he is praying for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as well as his wife and children, following his murder last week in Utah, the Vatican said on Tuesday.
Leo also expressed concern about political violence and addressed the need "to refrain from rhetoric and exploitation that lead to polarization rather than dialogue," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement, according to Vatican News.
The pope's remarks came on Saturday, when he received the ambassador in an audience to receive his credentials, marking the first meeting between the two.

And it worked. We watched some Taskmaster (episode 9 of the newest NZ series), and she laughed. Since I can't reach her intellectually on this stuff, I'm left just trying to having a good time with her.

I didn't follow Kirk. I didn't know really very much about him, other than he was a conservative guy that went around speaking in methods similar to Crowder and his "Change My Mind" sit-ins.
My wife, on the other hand, followed him on all social media platforms and was a fan of him and his work.
My daughter knew who he was, but said she disagreed with him a lot. I'm guessing she's never heard him speak and was getting the left's rendition of who he was and what he said.
Her college, however, has fired one educator and expelled a black student who chose a Kirk vigil to make fun of him being shot in the throat.
Abbott has said they're reviewing and may be cancelling the teaching certificates of over 100 teachers in the state of Texas for their actions.

I want to point out that the gushing and swooning of Matt Gutman et al. for what it is:
It's a nastier form of "Kirk deserved it."
Because it flows from the syllogism of "these two were so loving to each other" and " but Kirk made them live in fear" thus "Kirk deserved it for making them live in fear."
A variation of "your failure to worship trannies causes them to suicide so your speech must be stopped."
But with murder justified.

67 Meanwhile, a Harvard professor wrote a book saying that it is just too gosh-darn difficult to amend the Constitution, which is getting a lot of press.
Her two main examples?
The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment to pass, along with an 1960's effort to abolish the Electoral College.
She's preparing the ground for wholesale illegal revisions to the Constitution when her people return to power.

Academia is dead essentially and that prof is stuck in the Sixties. If you care to look up, every time the Dems lose at elections, they start muttering about Our Frozen Constitution (see Lazarus) and other such bullshit. Basically intention rule breakers because power to the Dems is more important than any restraints.
GOP types, on the other hand keep pining for their own useless constitutional changes like repealing the 17th. They would do better focusing on repealing the 16th instead. More chance for that albeit very slim.

Well, somebody figured out how important he was. Groups like I suspect are behind Kirk's assassination are know to have "lists". I imagine once Butler failed, they went to step B. If anyone wants to see how indoctrination happens, they know where to look. Or read what is written about how the Left fell in Love with Militant Islam. Somebody wrote that once you remove the Islamic 'iconography" from Islamic extremism, you get...Marxism! But not exactly, you get nazism, because there is a very crucial, strong antisemitic element at the heart of it. So any time you see a some fool waving a Pali flag, you know what comes next.

I am also astonished, and trying to understand the reaction. Charlie Kirk, to my mind, was a crusading free speech advocate and, because I loosely follow free speech issues in universities, I always thought of him mostly in that way. Of course, he was also a tremendous political organizer who personally delivered young voters by the ton to Trump in the last election. That made me like him, not knowing anything else about him.
But I had no idea how he lived his life and the faith he so frequently professed. I had no idea he influenced young people not just to have civil conversations about difficult issues, but he also worked to bring them closer to God. And not just Christians. One of the first essays I read was by an Orthodox Jew, a student, who said Kirk heavily influenced his return to actively following Jewish laws and traditions, explicitly advising the young man "it is important!" for him to celebrate his religion.

Where we are now is baked in to the fabric of what we call "leftism" or (shudder) "liberalism". Every position they have pivoted towards in the last decade or two is founded on absurdity. We're not arguing about tax policy or whether or not to go to war with Russia, we're not arguing about how much money to spend on tanks and bombs and how much to spend on parks.
They want to "argue" about pretending we don't have a national border. They want to "argue" about murdering fetuses. They want to "argue" about letting dudes invade spaces specifically set aside for women to keep dudes out and keep women protected. Their policies have become 100% incoherent nonsense, and so their supporters are naturally the people attracted to and comfortable operating in 100% nonsense.
You can't debate that.

Patton said as much about the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge in an early SHAEF meeting in Versailles. Something like "Brad (Omar Bradley), the Krauts have stuck their head into a meatgrinder and I've got ahold of the handle." That is when he sprung the three divisions in 72 hours plan on SHAEF that he had already planned out with his staff prior to the meeting. He made it so simply that a very brief comm to his hq would put it into action without him even being there to do it personally.
Patton was a commensurate warrior and military professional soldier.

I am concerned about the security posture (lack of one actually) at our Masses. Concerns expressed to the Pastor and Pastoral Council - but nothing. Too worried about making everyone feel welcome, instead of welcome AND safe.

Neville Singh also funded the great majority of BLM riots in 2020. And even though everyone knows, it's impossible to find almost anyone reporting that he got all of his money to do it from the CCP, who he has always been a front for.
And he funds Code Pink, which his wife co-founded.
From what I've read he splits time between Hong Kong and Shanghai, but it's clear that he is under the personal protection of Chairman Xi, so he's untouchable.

Neville Singh also funded the great majority of BLM riots in 2020. And even though everyone knows, it's impossible to find almost anyone reporting that he got all of his money to do it from the CCP, who he has always been a front for.
And he funds Code Pink, which his wife co-founded.
From what I've read he splits time between Hong Kong and Shanghai, but it's clear that he is under the personal protection of Chairman Xi, so he's untouchable.

These are reasons I don't go to church. I went after 9/11 with the First Lady's blessed aunt and AFTER they sent the collection plate around, the pastor went on a rant about how the US brought this upon itself.........Auntie was visibly PISSED about his sermon and we left early.
The church has lost its way and I don't want to be a part.

What's striking is how much he did behind the scenes, such as getting Trump and RFKjr to join forces, inspiring people to run for office and connecting them with donors/support organizations, etc.

Patton said as much about the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge in an early SHAEF meeting in Versailles. Something like "Brad (Omar Bradley), the Krauts have stuck their head into a meatgrinder and I've got ahold of the handle." That is when he sprung the three divisions in 72 hours plan on SHAEF that he had already planned out with his staff prior to the meeting. He made it so simply that a very brief comm to his hq would put it into action without him even being there to do it personally.
Patton was a commensurate warrior and military professional soldier.

That's great news, Wenda. I haven't had to have a blood draw in almost a year now.
My health situation is improving overall. I was going through a period of periodic vomiting, but the gastroenterologist seems to have brought that under control.
In terms of my job hunt, I'm looking into jobs with the USPS now. They count military service as part of your seniority, so I could put my almost 9 years of Navy service to good use.

Anything that they feel helps get them power is game. That's not absurdity, it's EVIL. Even Kirk got this; he was doing what he was doing to save as many as he could.

When somebody made him dead, publicly and openly, then "they" were in the same position as the dog who chased down and caught the car, or the drunk who watched his closest buddy spill a beer on the toughest guy in the wrong bar.

(LifeSiteNews) — The German soccer team Borussia Dortmund (BVB) has started an “internal process” to look into a player after he expressed support for Charlie Kirk on social media.
According to German news outlets, BVB wants to “internally review” a social media post by its player Felix Nmecha and “seek a conversation with the professional.”
......
I believe that expressing sympathy is human and should not be condemned,” he wrote.
According to a report from the German newspaper Bild, Nmecha’s contract contains a clause stipulating a penalty if he posts anything online that contradicts the club’s values.

You identify something that a lot of us are feeling - that the mainline churches became far too comfortable with the culture, and thus fell prey to the same disease that has consumed our culture.
But while those instititions are ending, there is a huge demand and need out here for something new to arise, some new form and structure for believers to connect. I don't know what it will be yet, or what form it will take - but I know personally of hundreds of people like me - and possibly you - that are ready and waiting for it.

Same here. I was hoping there would be an uptick, but that was mostly wishful thinking. The mass we go to is mostly hispanic and had normal attendance. That being said there were 4 other masses that weekend so who knows, maybe more showed up Saturday afternoon or another Sunday mass.

As I said, Trump should by act of Congress, officially name the White House Press Room the Charlie Kirk Room.
"The place where we have peaceful dialog -- just like Charlie wanted."
Make the media say it every day, or make them intentionally ignore it and insult his memory.

You'd be lucky if you stumbled onto a leftist who's positions were attained by thought. Most are NPCs.
Charlie Kirk's main superpower is infinite patience.
I had long ago given up debating leftist on issues, because it was largely NPC instructions, no depth, and shitty gotcha snark. I got tired of angering potential friends, family. I didn't have the patience.
So then I proceeded to mockery and derision and found it to be more fun.

And the national organization still hasn't taken any steps to correct the Marxist version of Luther's catechism (which is now being used to train new clergy), and the convention vote a couple summers back that got a 95% vote to condemn "white supremacy", but couldn't comment on BLM/antifa beyond a mild statement that they're '"controversial."

That was a bit later. Seems that both statements were more or less true that Patton did them in that meeting. In the screenplay of course but also in the biographies of people at the meeting.
Direct quote, "On 21 December, Patton met with Bradley to review the impending advance, starting the meeting by remarking, "Brad, this time the Kraut's stuck his head in the meat grinder, and I've got hold of the handle."
The comment of Patton of letting them go all the way to Paris was in the movie but I think it was actually made in conference with his staff. Because he added to letting them go all the way to Paris to roll them up, IIRC, "that is not the way the gentlemen up there think about war." or some such.

By the way, that "text message exchange" between Robinson and Lance was (in my opinion) a blatant attempt at lying for damage control. Nothing in that exchange should be taken at face value other than Robinson's confession to be at least part of the murder. But his language about (the equivalent of) wanting to go back and get the gun as well as his words about etching the language into the bullet casings may very well be attempts to ERASE involvement by anyone ELSE who did the etching or who was provided the gun or who was supposed to pick it up but didn't. The whole text exchange reads like language from a school play written by someone in high school (which matches their development stage).

I stopped written debate when I saw myself hating a sizable portion of a community that I enjoyed being a part of, simply because they were taken in by leftist agit prop, ORANGEMANBAD hysteria, and easily debunked media claims.

But while those instititions are ending, there is a huge demand and need out here for something new to arise, some new form and structure for believers to connect. I don't know what it will be yet, or what form it will take - but I know personally of hundreds of people like me - and possibly you - that are ready and waiting for it.
Something is getting ready to be born.

SpongeBro used to attend the Cowboy Church near where my dad lived. He sung and participated in services quite regularly. Then he found out the preacher was banging multiple of the married ladies in the congregation.

>>Oh, and I hear Milo is considering coming out of 'retirement' to carry on for Charlie. Not sure what that'll do, but there it is.
Milo's college tour was very effective. He is vey theatrical and good on his feet. You don't have to like him, but I don't think it's a bad thing he wants to get out again. HOWEVER, if he is still associated with that evil scumbag Nick Fuentes, then forget it.
I like that many are picking up for Kirk. Some will be good, some won't. Independent journalist Cam Higby (he's been covering antifa) has already started a tour:

Totally my opinion,
Small is better and the ancient church met in homes and small meeting areas. The problem with institutionalized big churches is they have mission spread which then requires endless funding pitches to the members to fund, volunteer, etc. that have nothing to do with the Great Commission.
That attenuates whatever messages they put out because you end up in an endless fund raising cycle which dispirits the preachers (or worse encourages it), the move to lowest common denominator Christianity in order to maximize church funding for projects. Sort of like if you build it they will come. End result, is you have dying main line congregations meeting in tiny numbers in huge buildings where there are no new families with babies to regenerate the institution.
Some churches, namely the Roman Catholic church, have substantial reserves and a long existing and difficult to change permanently doctrines. Thus, more resistant than something like Church of England, etc. I would put Orthodox in the same boat as far as ancient doctrine but much less well funded in the US and formerly were more tied to ethnicity

No, but you can yank it out by the root. It's usually the Marxism that set's them up for absurdity. They have a different moral compass than normal people. For them, right and wrong is all about oppressor/victim, instead of, did the individual act morally? It's the foundation of their lies and delusion.
Kirk was targeted in part because of where he did his thing, on campuses. The Academy needs a good flush, and maybe more than one. We should start by refusing student loans to any school and major with a high default rate. Eventually, we need to starve the grievance studies departments down to unsubsidized levels. If they have any merit, then good for them, but without the Gov backing the loans, I think they shrivel fast. That's a major source of the rot.

Speaking of churches losing their way, and not having security due to "feels" -
A lot of stupid things can be laid directly at the feet of empty-headed bleeding heart church ladies and those that pander to them in various ways. Just look at the shooter's mom. Or the one of the tranny that shot up that Christian school recently - whose mom worked FOR that church. Or any of dozens of others.
You see this over and over again, and so again, I stress my assertion that your kids need to be taught that certain things are not OK and WILL lead to them getting disowned. Oh, you can try to convince them to come back into the fold; but stop fucking giving them money. Kirk's shooter didn't buy that car or it's insurance on his own. His furry boyfriend was "kicked out", yet lived in a family-owned rental property.
Stop supporting them. And stop ARMING your kids while ignoring, or being oblivious to, glaring character defects.

Classic Aristotle, the best rhetoric has truthful relations with the facts and is the most hurtful to those that speak and breath pure rhetoric.
You can only have dialectical conversations with those willing to be persuaded by facts and logic.
By the time I retired from academia, almost all the emphasis was on rhetoric and those trying to use dialectic with any nuance were blackballed, fired, and sidelined. So we kept our mouths to ourselves and taught the older ways to new students, not engage colleagues in discussions like when I first entered it.

My priest did mention Kirk by name, first in the prayers of the faithful, and then to elaborate further at the final blessing. He noted that Kirk's points tended to line up with the teachings of the Church, and even where they didn't, there were no calls to violence.
In other words, Kirk was making the morally corrupt feel uncomfortable, so they killed him. Sound familiar to any Christians?

My priest didn't mention Kirk by name, since this past Sunday was the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and most his homily was about that--but at the end, he did specifically call out the "leftists who keep killing innocent people" and pointed out that by doing so they will strengthen the Faith, not defeat it; he tied this comment back to his main theme, about how the Cross is a tool of death but also the instrument of victory.

"213 By the way, that "text message exchange" between Robinson and Lance was (in my opinion) a blatant attempt at lying for damage control. Nothing in that exchange should be taken at face value other than Robinson's confession to be at least part of the murder. But his language about (the equivalent of) wanting to go back and get the gun as well as his words about etching the language into the bullet casings may very well be attempts to ERASE involvement by anyone ELSE who did the etching or who was provided the gun or who was supposed to pick it up but didn't. The whole text exchange reads like language from a school play written by someone in high school (which matches their development stage).

I agree - I have watched it happen time after time over the course of my life, and the trend has been accelerating over the last couple of decades. The last church I attended was Presbyterian, I finally left because I couldn't take the people's reaction to Covid - mute obedience to whatever they were told, and worse than that, I realized that the entire church had become nothing more than a fancy funeral parlor with a long waiting list, that hosted social functions now and then.

>>Why do people insist on being assholes?
It is actually Easier to be pleasant. It takes actual effort to be foul and complain and huff and puff. Why not just be nice. Say “please” and “thank you.”
At some point in the last 20 years our culture started equating rage with passion. More rage = you care MORE than others. If you don't rage then you obviously don't care (silence=violence). Example: "Good and Mad" by Rebecca Traister, "Eloquent Anger" by Brittney Cooper, and "Rage Becomes Her" by Soraya Chemaly (and these are just the feminists).
This has been trained, nurtured, encouraged. This is why they are so proud of themselves for it, why they think showing rage on social media will impress their friends and followers.

We've been getting refugees from UMC denominations for quite a while. I've also heard that more conservative Catholic parishes, as well as Orthodox churches, have been seeing an influx of younger members of late, though I'm in no position to verify that.

243 Classic Aristotle, the best rhetoric has truthful relations with the facts and is the most hurtful to those that speak and breath pure rhetoric.
You can only have dialectical conversations with those willing to be persuaded by facts and logic.
By the time I retired from academia, almost all the emphasis was on rhetoric and those trying to use dialectic with any nuance were blackballed, fired, and sidelined. So we kept our mouths to ourselves and taught the older ways to new students, not engage colleagues in discussions like when I first entered it.

I stopped verbally debating when a respondent stated with all seriousness that "there is no such thing as logic."
---
Did anyone counter that this sounds like a logical statement?
Should I regard it or not?
This is the problem with thinking that what we think in the forebrain is all there is to it. It's the swapping of thing in and out of consciousness that gives us our actual framework, and things may not be consciously visible when we can't see a hole in our "logic" that says "logic doesn't exist".
If "logic doesn't exist" then it's arguable that "exist" has no *logical* meaning. Hence existence is nothing, so why did you bring it up?

I dunno. I'm still skeptical this will last. There was a massive response after 09/11/2001 Islamic terrorist attacks as well. And that lasted a few months until everyone went back to normal again. And almost immediately the country bent over to coddle Muslims and declare anyone who criticized them as "Islamophobes".
And within 7 years, the country elected a radical Islam-supporter, Israel/USA-hater as President.
And within 20 years, cities across the country and the federal government are now infested with radical Muslims. And NYC itself is poised to elect a radical Muslim.
So I am taking a wait and see approach to find out if Americans go back to sleep again.

Isn't 'terrorism' a federal jurisdiction?
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 17, 2025 08:34 AM (gVopW)
Don't matter if it is.
It doesn't get more federal than a UCMJ court, and one of their judges released Bradley Manning, and openly stated that he did it purely because Trump said he didn't like Bradley Manning.
The feds are the very worst element of a very bad judicial system.

Because the military has a chain of command - the commanding officers in the chain above the judge in a court martial are not allowed to make statements about a case. It is called "Command Influence" and is absolutely a reason to dismiss a case. As soon as the Commander in chief made a comment about the case my reaction was "Oh Shit, Trump just screwed up there."

I agree - I have watched it happen time after time over the course of my life, and the trend has been accelerating over the last couple of decades. The last church I attended was Presbyterian, I finally left because I couldn't take the people's reaction to Covid - mute obedience to whatever they were told, and worse than that, I realized that the entire church had become nothing more than a fancy funeral parlor with a long waiting list, that hosted social functions now and then.

I was very lucky (more accurately: blessed) in 2020 because the church of which I was a member wimped out and stopped holding in person services which led me to look for a church nearby that was… and that led me to Grace Community Church, pastor John MacArthur…. I still regret that I hadn’t already been going there… it was a longer drive but not bad, only 45 minutes or so

You might enjoy and find informative reading about the ancient churches and how those writing during a time of hot and cold persecutions, a multitude of heretics inside and outside the churches, but yet had a far firmer belief in resurrection than churches emphasize today. A belief, like Charlies, unto death. Started with Polycarp, Ignatius, and now reading Eusebius and Iraeneus on Heresies. Next up Clement and Oregen.
Their firm faith and direct contacts to people that witnessed the crucifixion and resurrection made for some hard men in the faith willing to suffer torture, persecution, and death for what they believed. Much less about 'love' and more about 'faith'.

Commenter "Ordinary American" posted this comment the other day and it resonated with me. Hoping our cynicism is unwarranted...
As a sidebar, one thing I've noticed is a lot of talking heads saying the Charlie's murder feels like a "tipping point" in the same way that 9/11 did, and that the world has tectonically changed. But I'm curious, what really did change after 9/11? That is, what truths were realized and how have they lasted? In fact, post-9/11, the Muslim invasion of the West only accelerated, now to the point that they've practically captivated the politics of Europe, and transformed and trashed their culture. So, in fact, it seems we really learned nothing from 9/11.
Will Charlie's death play out similarly? Will any of our harrowing realizations last?

As far as I know, there are at least two ways our brain processes thoughts, there are synapse firing for well-wired paths, and there is a slower chemical process which is more generally useful and adaptable.
There seems to be a state in our brain where we *know* what we have confidence in, but it is not readily available, it's more of a base for intellectual processing.

They were quite literally obeying Scripture, as found in Romans 13 - 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Some people will get mad, but this is what Paul stated in Romans. How does one resist tyranny and obey the word of God - which tells you to obey the government - at the same time?

The public didn't get to see the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination until Geraldo played it on a ABC late night show in 1975, 22 years after the death. That really sparked the outrage enough to get House investigation into the JFK death in 1978.

Yup, our response to 9/11 was to surrender to the Islamic Caliphate.
___
I'm guessing the Caliphate perceives it this way, which is probably good enough for them to continue as if we did surrender.

Yep and the culture changed when the old profs were replaced by Millennials filled with broken programming. Snitch culture, outgrouping, and tedious lectures in meetings and my particular department and school had never been particularly woke before that. Students were worse--head full of nonsense from K12 and their selected nutjob senseis on campus.
Since I taught law classes mainly and the obligatory US Gov. I taught what the Founders, Framers, and the entire Constitutional and Political History of the US in my classes using direct sources. Students have never conceived of actually reading original sources in an introductory class rather than the evil pablum served up by textbooks.
The funny thing is, the students liked not having to buy textbooks which made it easier for me to deindoctrinate them by showing them real history and make them trust original sources more than summaries.

Unless he meant that logic has no corporal form or force. Then, yes, that is a hard one.
I agree logic does not "exist" in that sense. Because to "exist" is to stand on one's own (out). And words only live in our heads and are mainly expressed from our mouths.
Because I believe in the Word (Logos), I came to believe in The Word of the external He Who Was and Is.
We act out the two essential concepts of God in believing that remote physical bodies are communing with us. And through Breath (Spirit) they are brought to us.

The reason the left won't allow conservatives to speak on campus and hate PragerU is because 5 minutes of clarity and rational fact-based argumentation never heard before -- e.g. one Charles Kirk -- can undo years of irrational leftist indoctrination.

Housing in my area doubled in price 2018-2022.
Then flatlined pretty much since. I see signs it’s starting to ramp up again, there’s been a rush of people buying recently with mortgage rates hovering around 6%. Lots of pent up demand.
If there a crash happening I don’t see any evidence of it yet.

Yes, that was something to watch. I did feel sorry for Tarlov; she was playing the usual intellectual games that someone taking the "other side" of an issue usually takes, and I don't think she had thought about it all that seriously. She was just playing a part, and then Gutfeld hit her with a Godzilla heat-ray blast. You could see that she was in shock and just wanted to run away and hide behind something.

Speaking of Dialectic, this is embarrassing to admit, but I still don't understand the concept of the Hegelian Dialectic.
Posted by: XTC at September 17, 2025 12:03 PM (UnA8+)
No one does, because it is nonsense.
Everything is Concept. Every thought, every physical thing, every soul, all of them are just Concepts.
Concepts follow Rules. Concept + Something Else = New Concept. Physics, Psychology, Philosophy, everything, all follow some predictable set of Rules (and gosh, just you wait until I can publish those Rules for you all!)
Engels stole the idea from Feuerbach of shoehorning "History" itself into the Hegelian concept of Concept, and said that History follows rigid Rules too (and gosh darn it, my buddy Karl is one day gonna let you know what those rules are, and how!). History is inevitable. Revolutions are inevitable. This is Historical Materialism in a very lame, incomplete nutshell. Bullshit based on bullshit of some fairytale set of Rules that don't actually exist but hey, they totally do, we just haven't gotten around to figuring out what they are yet.

Some people will get mad, but this is what Paul stated in Romans. How does one resist tyranny and obey the word of God - which tells you to obey the government - at the same time?
Posted by: A serious question
=======
Easy, Paul was writing during the time of early Christianity and was deeply involved in the Great Commission. He lived in a time of tumults and Jewish rebellions. And he was more concerned about the ability to get new converts which would be destroyed if the Roman Empire took a sustained view that the Christians were rebels and deserved special treatment as enemies of the state.
It was already enough that Christians refused to bow to the fake gods of Caesar and the Roman pantheon. That warranted individual death in many cases. It would have been much worse for the spread of Christianity which saved eternal souls to focus on temporal political power.
But say a government or other countries is bent on exterminating Christians as the German government was at killing Jews. Then resistance is not only necessary and warranted, but demanded of Christians for themselves, their faith, and future. Deus Vult indeed.

History proceeds like so:
We have a state. That state has innate complications and conflicts with what we want from it and what we say it is. This invites a significant push for negation of that state.
That negation is almost always too much and too far. An adjustment to a a stable state from the input of the two results in another base state, which will bring it's own negation.
The part that a lot of people have a problem with is that Hegel believed that this was the process of refining toward spiritual perfection.
I just consider it a reasonable model of social "tectonics", to put a word on it, given an imperfect world.

Unless he meant that logic has no corporal form or force. Then, yes, that is a hard one.
I agree logic does not "exist" in that sense. Because to "exist" is to stand on one's own (out). And words only live in our heads and are mainly expressed from our mouths.
Because I believe in the Word (Logos), I came to believe in The Word of the external He Who Was and Is.
We act out the two essential concepts of God in believing that remote physical bodies are communing with us. And through Breath (Spirit) they are brought to us.

She needed to feel the heat of what normal people are feeling about this murder -- that she couldn't just do her usual DNC talking points to handwave away Kirk's ass@sination. It was powerful precisely because Gutfeld doesn't usually rage, he's usually quite relaxed and a happy warrior.

What I saw in physics majors before I retired was disheartening: female majors who expected an “A” for “B” work, and some male majors who might as well have been castrati. And female faculty who pushed the lowered expectations for their (female) protégés. The limp wrist attitudes of some of our male students (not all, thank God!) bothered me more. No, they were not homosexual, but they might as well have been. They had no drive, no push! I have had homosexual students in class often enough, and frankly, I felt sorry for them. It was none of my business though: I was there to teach physics and teach physics I did!

To further the discussion, basically the Bible has to be read as a whole, including the often bloody and dreary Old Testament. When you start cherry picking particular books without reference to the other books or pick your favorite Apostle. You are only getting part of the story behind those words. Context is everything and that includes the historical contexts when the words were written. Early church members are also useful as you find many of the unwritten traditions and stories not in the Bible themselves. That gives additional context to what happened after the Bible ceases to tell us stories ending with the Apostles.
In a way, it is much like the Constitution--clause bound interpretivism is not the way to do it. You have to eat the whole burrito--history, text, and historical usage to come out with something resembling a complete doctrine. Far easier for most to simply issue disconnected rhetoric of cherry picked sections of personal interest.
Harder slog to understand the complexities of doctrine influenced by the original sources and practice over time.

But a number of them decided to 1. celebrate and 2. try to push it into the message competition: "Both sides..."
The thing is that the principle that "All lives matter" counters "Black lives matter", in seeming to be a gloss over a heart-felt expression, is *exactly* the same as "both sides" to a terrible event like this.
"Charlie Kirk matters" --> "Lives on BOTH sides matter". It also starts a fight with us about whether or not we believe that Paul Pelosi's life matters, when nobody even brought that up.
"Both sides" was to "Charlie Kirk was killed" as "All lives matter" is to our black brethren wanting to hear us say "Yes, Black lives matter".

I think there are two parts to Kirk and TPUSA. There's the part that is the actual mission, but that is target-specific, and if you are not in the target audience, you are probably not going to see or be all that interested in him. The other part is public appearances and interactions with Trump, Vance, Tucker, etc. etc. either in interviews or hosting at a TPUSA event. Those are videos that older people or people not interested in the college scene are going to see.
Speaking for myself, those are the times I've seen Kirk. The only time I've seen him at a college event was unfortunately the one he got shot at, because, well, he got shot at it.

_____
Housing is an odd market, tends to be very local, and is a long tailing indicator. In most areas, it takes years before you can break ground, so construction today means the project was initiated no later than 2023. Some smaller rural areas might be different. And there probably was over-building coming out of Covid.
You can't drive or walk a block in NYC without seeing some major new construction or renovation, both commercial and residential.

Conservative are always subject to infiltrators and grifters because they have no firm doctrine of their own. Russell Kirk tried and failed to create one but any sort of creedal notion of democracy is simply not sustainable. The left and Stan himself are always great about fair sound distortions turning into outright lies in practice.
I think you have to go beyond creed reasoning and demand a coherent and cohesive society based on faith and patriotism beyond the narrow tribalisms of the left. Nihilism of any sort needs to be shamed, ignored, and disputed any time it arises.

Leftists redefine the problems like with Global Warming becoming Climate Change. Magic words means that the past record does not apply. Same as Affirmative Action became Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Brits termed it Positive Discrimination which is a perfect oxymoron.
And the old saw is that true Socialism/Communism has never been tried when you point out the failures of New Soviet Man project and the dying Chinese economy and society.
At some level, I think socialism/communism appeals to people because they harken back to families where the parent is supposed to go out and work/slave to take care of the kids. Kids by and large no longer work as they did in most of American history and this produces a distorted view where Gubmint is supposed to take Mommy and/or Daddy's place for resource extraction necessary to live. Indoctrinated infantilism.

Even if this wasn't planned/coordinated by that queer gun club in Utah, its leader (Iranian immigrant trans) is the nexus of a lot of bad things - PSL, UN, US State Dept, college job, Warren's campaign, indirect funding from Neville Singham, training in Cuba months ago. . . yikes, there are legit revolutionary forces, and they are well-connected and well-funded.

City of Phoenix has a huge RE problem, and I suspect LA has it as well. Huge tracts of new houses were built by big developers in the 70's and 80's, thousands of them. BUT they were built very cheaply, with barely adequate plumbing, wiring, and roofing. Cookie cutter houses, and now they're 30 to 40 years old, and all of the substandard parts are falling apart, on all of them. Even worse, over the years as their conditions detreated, many of them were turned into rental houses and entire neighborhoods sank into low income status.
Now, there are areas of hundreds to thousands of homes (In Phoenix, especially around the old Metrocenter mall) that are modern ghettoes, places that were great that are now just large ghettoes.

Having had contacts in construction and dealing with the fallout of 2007, that is a symptom of rates being too low, not demand. Construction is driven (beyond replacement and absolute need) by the ability to afford to break ground and get it built. Rates are low, construction booms. Rates go up, all the starts stall out. Also the quality crashes since the goal is to borrow money to build to sell to pay off the loan, and you live on the difference. Often you wind up paying off the last build with the profits for the current build, which is why the industry collapses when the rates go up, too much debt is built up depending on cheap rates to go on.

The Roman state? Jesus preached an ideology of divine justice and authority that was orthogonal to the Roman imperial justice and authority. Other than that, how did He defy the Roman state? Pontius Pilate challenged Jesus on His claim of Kingship and found Jesus innocent of any sort of revolutionary intent.
Jesus definitely defied the Jewish authorities, but they were very limited in their role of governance.

Illegal immigrants don't buy houses.
Sure they do. Bank of America made a big deal about lending to illegals a while back.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at September 17, 2025 12:30 PM
Grok estimates 20-25% of illegal aliens get homes through either paying cash or ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) loans. Not to mention, many illegals get houses by pooling all their cash together and all living in the same house. A coworker friend from Canada tells me this is a massive issue in Windsor, Ontario as well, especially with people from India and Muslims.
A rough estimate, based on studies of immigrant populations, suggests undocumented immigrants’ homeownership rates are likely in the range of 20–25%, significantly lower than the 30% for all non-citizens, as they often rely on ITIN loans or cash purchases, which require substantial savings or pooled resources.

No. I would know if I meant that Paul didn't really mean what he said. You're kind of taking what he said as an absolute, when it's not clear he meant it as an absolute.
I think most Christians in history got the balance.
Paul says "Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to the governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men."
If your general principle is to submit to the authorities and you do that 95% of the time, how are you not submitting and recognizing their authority through God in those actions.
I don't think there is any suggestion that earthly authorities are flawless.

No. I would know if I meant that Paul didn't really mean what he said. You're kind of taking what he said as an absolute, when it's not clear he meant it as an absolute.
I think most Christians in history got the balance.

Same here. I knew a little about him, saw a few of videos but had no idea about his popularity. Or how much the left hated him.
Which got me wondering about the lefts insane reaction. How many of them knew anything about Charles Kirk beyond he was a conservative activist (or even that?). I'm betting not many. Yet they hated him intensely. Or more precisely, they could call up a white hot hate as required by the hive. That hate could be directed at anybody on the right anytime as required. This is the madness of mobs on display. That is disturbing.

This was the eye-opener for me. I knew of the name Charlie Kirk and the organization TPUSA. But honestly, I just thought it was another do-nothing organization like CPAC that went around holding get-togethers to talk and take pictures in fancy clothes to post to social media and not actually accomplish anything.
But when I saw the massive amount of hate and rage and celebrating from the left over his assassination, I was taken aback. Maybe he was more influential - with both the right and the left - than I thought.

Some people will get mad, but this is what Paul stated in Romans. How does one resist tyranny and obey the word of God - which tells you to obey the government - at the same time?

Except, in America YOU are the government. You must fight to enact godly laws and policies. You must convince your neighbors what is good and right. You - being the actual government - have an obligation to fight tyranny and promote good government. It's the premise in the opening to the Declaration of Independence.
