“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees, flowers, grass -- grows in silence. See the stars, the moon and the sun.
How they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
Mother Teresa

During World War I they called it Shell Shock. During World War II it was Battle Fatigue. Now it’s called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Whatever they call it, America is suffering from it. The whole country.
There’s something very wrong going on.
They say, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And that is true.
But, it seems evil is flourishing as good people are doing something. Talking. Too much.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated. To have everyone and anyone who knew him tell their story seems to me to be disrespectful in its own way.
The stories become about the speaker. And become a distraction.
Charlie Kirk was a good man. He did good works that changed lives.
He made the choice to travel tirelessly to college campuses, and when on those campuses, he was most often not welcome.
He did it for years. If you watch videos of his rallies, you can see what it was he did.
He invited college students who disagreed with him, or the world in general, to come to the front of the line and speak.
He listened. Then told his point of view.
It was about free speech. An exchange of ideas. The bedrock upon which our country was founded.
Then there are the people who are rejoicing at Kirk’s death.
What is there to say?
These people are the malcontents who make excellent targets for those seeking to fundamentally change our country.
It is done by normalizing the abnormal. Destroying the family. Attacking God and religion. Perverting education. It’s the tactic used by the Communist Party.
Another is distraction. Now Kirk’s assassin’s boyfriend/girlfriend/transvestite relationship has become the focus.
ABC’s Matt Gutman reported about the text messages Robinson sent his partner, after the press conference announcing the charges against Robinson.
“It was very touching in a way that many of us didn’t expect,” Gutman said emotionally.
“A very intimate portrait into his relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him ‘my love,’ and ‘I want to protect you, my love.’
He apologized forty minutes ago. They usually do when their jobs are at stake.
“I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk…and the personal, disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County Attorney at the press conference,” he said.
“I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear.”
On the contrary. His words made it abundantly clear what he believes.
This is exactly the kind of media coverage that is responsible for the mess our country is in right now.
And don’t forget the forgettable Jimmy Kimmel.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything theycan to score political points from it," Kimmel said last night on his show.
In Texas, Camryn Booker, an obnoxious, black, female student shouted “F**k y’all homie dead. He got shot in the head,” at a Kirk memorial.
What she said wasn’t nice.
There are calls to fire Gutman. Booker was expelled.
But should anyone be fired or expelled? I, frankly would like them to be. But Freedom of speech in America protects speech even if we don’t like the content. Even for Nazis.
The 1977 planned-Nazi march in Skokie, Illinois was upheld by the Supreme Court, as protected by the First Amendment.
That, friends, is what makes America Great.
But I still think sometimes it’s better for everyone to just shut up.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots
