hmm… Once again, there is that steady deadly progression. On the battlefield of ideas, as you start to lose on fundamental arguments, the temptation to intimidate grows. And so, we the people, who support the Constitution have witnessed, the level of intolerance and rage directed towards any deviation from left wing ideology has continued to become ever more volatile as the fallacies of their arguments become ever more exposed. For those in the tea party, we bear personal witness to this relentless escalation of rage and violence culture. And as always, the corrupt media was ever present to launder the evils committed by the left and create false narratives of imagined evils on the right. I remember when our tea party was just beginning, they ignored us. They knew a powerful movement was exploding throughout the nation and it was in reaction to the clear threat that the radical policies being ushered in by the left posed to our Republic. It was at that beginning that Charlie Kirk came to become engaged and found his purpose. His beginning was with the Tea Party. It was then, when Charlie learned up close and personal how toxic the left was to America. When we became too big to ignore, we were ridiculed and mocked. When that didn’t work to prevent the historic losses of left-wing power in 2010, they upped the rage rhetoric demonizing the tea party movement. Many serious lines were crossed during this dark and historic time. Lines that should never have been crossed, were crossed with impunity. The demonization of the best Americans emerged as a powerful weapon and for the 1st time in our history, massive numbers of people were organized to hunt us down and disrupt our events. They created chaos, mayhem and violence throughout the nation and were not held accountable by the media or even law enforcement in the democrat-controlled cities where they operated. We recognize the pattern now, but back in 2011, it was new and we thought the organized national lawlessness was a passing aberration. Occupy wall street was the left’s counter to the tea party. They were criminal, violent, but immune to laws and decency. They were the precursors of what we endured later. That is why it was such a tragedy that the law was not enforced right then as it would have been to any American. They were appeased and tolerated and because of the absence of consequences, the violent cancel culture movement grew into the great horrors and devastation of ANTIFA and B.L.M.
The terror and carnage that was 2020 was left wing rage on steroids. It was a natural consequence that grew out of democrats and media providing cover and discouraging accountability to any lawlessness from arson to assaults, to looting to murder. For me, that is when that American bridge between left and right was burned down to ashes. No consequences to the mobs and warlords, but plenty of celebration of their terrorism by democrats and media. So it can come as no surprise that as their policies become ever more discredited, that they would return more and more to violence and murder. Even multiple assassination attempts on President Trump didn’t give the left pause to reign in hateful language and rage. Hateful language that lent some perverse legitimacy to acts of inhumanity, violence and murder. And now a final line has been crossed with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. A man of goodness and faith who willingly entered the toxic belly on the beast of our campuses and universities as a teenager to keep civil debate alive and speech open and free. He became the most dangerous of people to the fascistic left. He became a young person who encouraged critical thinking and embraced open and civil debate. This was a line that the left would not allow to be crossed and so Charlie Kirk was assassinated. His voice silenced forever and his murder a message to all good Americans about the dangers of speaking. Now private citizens are being targeted for death and for many of the death culture of the left, their rage and hatred continues unsatisfied even after Charlie’s assassination. They even have a list on who will be next and this past week, that list has been made public.
Throughout history, there have been many watershed moments that changed life and history forever. 9-11 and Jan. 6th were the recent ones for us. I believe that the Assassination of Charlie Kirk could be one of those moments. I will do what I can so that Charlie’s death will not be in vain and to end this cycle of violence and death in the battlefield of ideas and speech.
At this point, I’m tired of being targeted by lunatics and left-wing thugs both in the streets and from the halls of power of my own Government. It is my hope that this tragedy will finally put an end to mob rule and influence. I look to have that kind of change which heralds the end of the powerful and nihilistic left-wing movement in our nation and bring about the full restoration of our Republic which began in earnest on Nov. 5th, 2024. I will pledge my life, my treasure and my sacred honor to end the evil that the left has become. I hope that many will embrace this spirit and purge the toxic evil that the left has become from every corner of our Republic.
With Resolve,
