But you have rejected us and disgraced us
and have not gone out with our armies.
You have made us turn back from the foe,
and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
You have made us like sheep for slaughter
and have scattered us among the nations.
You have sold your people for a trifle,
demanding no high price for them. - Ps 44:9–12
There's that famous book about what woman should expect when they're expecting. We need a book out on what Americans should expect when their expectations of how the world worked have been decimated. The need is real!
We’ve learned some hard lessons in reality the past two decades. In the first Trump term we learned the Schoolhouse Rock song “I’m Just a Bill” actually has an even harder row to hoe: the poor bill has to get past the intel community, our fourth brand of government.
The deep state somehow failed to secure Hillary’s win in ’16 so Trump became the accidental president and accidentally revealed the deep state corruption. The “great revealer” did his work from 2016 all the way through 2024, throughout the rogue lawsuits, efforts to bankrupt him, to keep him off the ballot, raids on his house, assassination attempts, etc. But like God’s appointed, he seemed to get nine lives and two terms.
This time things got off to a strong start with stalwarts like Kash and Dan and Elon, deep state squashers all. But then God had other plans. Instead of Trump as the great revealer of the deep state, the deep state started revealing him. Graft in the WH via nicely timed stock options and rug-pulling crypto deals, his staff moved well on the way to the health and wealth gospel. Ol’ Kash began living his best life in his dream job, and you can bet having written about government gangsters he knew how to play one on TV. Trump himself turned on his base, calling them losers for falling for the “Democrat hoax”, meaning the Epstein files. Then, the unkindest cut of all, Charlie Kirk, for national security reasons, apparently had to be dispatched. No hard feelings though.
The new case for supporting Trump and the RINOs running in the midterms goes like this: “Sure, we spiked the Epstein story. Sure we had to fire your conservative hero. Sure we went to war in Iran for reasons we’d rather not say. But frankly, we’re not imprisoning rando American citizens like the Dems. It's better that one man should die than all the people be imprisoned. So just accept the world is darker than you’d like and that you want the very dim light versus the no light option."

The case against Tyler Robinson has more holes than a Vegas whorehouse. If he gets a mediocre defense and a decent judge he might get off with a written reprimand for hanging out with a bad crowd (the feds). But it's hard to imagine he'll get a decent defense or judge though. It's another test of our judicial system, the same system that failed the J6 political prisoners in truly spectacular fashion.
The awful logic is that this has to be a lone gunmen case or else the FBI's inexplicable quashing of Joe Kent's investigation makes no sense. This is a case of either Tyler acted alone slam-dunk, or it indicates a state-sponsored hit. (Note they didn't even bother to arrest or interview a few Trantifa types who supposedly knew about the hit beforehand.) Only a professional hit using the resources of the feds could accomplish the sort of shenanigans necessary.
The context is important as well: this is the same FBI made frantic calls to The Blaze to try to stop Steve Baker's reporting the identity of the J6 pipe bomber before they could line up an autistic patsy. It's not like this FBI is above playing the hardest of hardball.
Disclaimer: for entertainment purposes only. I have no idea who killed Charlie Kirk.

For the MAGA movement, losing Charlie was like the Civil War South losing Stonewall Jackson. Demoralizing. The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. Everything after Jackson's death was a letdown for the South and everything after 9/10/2025 has been a letdown for MAGA. Coincidence? God's displeasure? Who knows.
Interesting X posts found:
"Hamlet makes me think of Charlie Kirk. In a corrupt system, remaining uncorrupted is a death sentence. But it is also the only act that restores legitimacy. Hamlet doesn’t win; he makes winning possible again."

"Shakespeare wrote about this. Hamlet (Candace Owens) spirals into madness trying to uncover the King of Denmark's (Charlie Kirk's) murderer while the widow (Erika Kirk) is in bed with the killer. If we don't find out from Owens, I'd suspect whoever Kirk remarries."

I'm fascinated by the silence from many an influencer unwilling to touch "the third rail" of the Charlie Kirk murder. Danger Will Robinson! From Mike Cernovich to James Kunstler to Sharyl Attinkinson to Lara Logan, this is not something they want to think much about -and who can blame them? The cognitive dissonance is off the charts. It's impossible to think that TPUSA security had anything to do with it, or the Kash-led FBI. You would need some key individuals for something like this, a compliant hospital with, say, a new CEO (check), a new medical examiner (check), no autopsy published (check), a university president who resigns suddenly (check), the would-be judge in the Robinson case retired a month before Charlie shot (check), a quick make-over of the crime scene (check) and a sheriff who gives a bad timeline to the media and then resigns.
The previous judge who would've gotten the case retired six years before mandatory retirement and thus was on the young side of average age of retirement for Utah judges. Grok portrays him as "a straightforward, experienced judge who followed the law strictly — even when it produced unpopular outcomes. Among the broader public and especially losing parties in emotionally charged civil cases, his reputation was more negative, with accusations of being too procedural, pro-defendant..."
From X:
"The judge selected to preside over the Charlie Kirk assassination trial—and the judge he replaced—were both the subject of unique Google searches from israeli IP addresses BEFORE the assassination (July 26 & May 15, respectively). Neither was the subject of any searches in Utah until AFTER the assassination.
The previous retired on August 1, and new one assumed his duties on August 4th—on or about the same day the Special Agent In Charge of the SLC FBI field office, was removed.
Just a bunch of coincidences?"
Utah Governor Cox, who has drawn a lot of suspicion by us conspiracy theorists, was ultimately responsible for both the hire of the medical examiner via his cabinet in the middle of 2024 as well as the judge (middle of 2025).
The turnover of all the key positions is rather impressive:
List of Retirements/New Hires:
1. Utah judge in charge of Robinson case: New one appointed August of 2025 after previous judge retires. Immediately gets Robinson case.
2. Head of Utah investigation took office on July 17, 2025 (replacing the retiring Commissioner).
3.The sheriff who played a key part in Tyler Robinson’s surrender, resigned after public and media attention increased on timeline discrepancies in Robinson’s surrender, such as when Robinson actually arrived at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
4. Medical Examiner comes in mid-2024 via Gov Cox appointment.
5. UVU President resigns January 2026.
6. The former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Salt Lake City field office was forced out of her role in August 2, 2025 and new FBI agent placed in charge ahead of Kirk death.
7. Hospital that Charlie was brought to was under a new CEO after resignation of previous CEO, effective August 25, 2025.
Grok opines:
"If these were independent events with average annual turnover rates of ~10–20% for most of these leadership roles, the raw mathematical probability of all seven shifting in roughly the same 12–18 month window (mid-2024 through early 2026) around one specific case would be low — perhaps on the order of 1 in several hundred to 1 in a few thousand, depending on how tightly you define the time window and geographic scope."
Grok estimates that the former DPS commissioner took nearly a 50% pay cut along with a prestige cut (in terms of job title) by moving on.
So much of this is bad optics, especially TPUSA's lackluster post-Charlie performance. Optics not proof but wow they sure have a lot of them clustered.

It's all.... too much right? How come we can't have white hats and black hats? Are we not entitled?
Speaking of, I've always felt completely entitled to a democratic republic and not one run on blackmail. It's been a sobering process of enlightenment, or de-lightenment. But truth is, I can find absolutely no biblical warrant for the entitlement to a just ruling class or to a republic. In fact, we are promised trouble in this world. A small example from the world of Catholicism: what possibly could be more unjust than St Padre Pio having been shut down and banned by the Vatican for part of his life? And yet he meekly obeyed the injustice even while if not having suicidal ideations did wish the Lord might take him early.
St Augustine:
"The Lord is the God of vengeance; do you think that He does not punish?...Thou murmurest surely because the bad are not punished: yet do not murmur, lest you be among those who are punished. That man has committed a theft, and lives: you murmur against God, because he who committed a theft on you dies not....Therefore, if you would have another correct his hand, you must first correct your tongue: you would have him correct his heart towards man, correct your heart towards God; lest perchance, when you desire the vengeance of God, if it come, it find you first. For He will come: He will come, and will judge those who continue in their wickedness, ungrateful for the prolongation of His mercy, for His long-suffering, treasuring up unto themselves wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds...He who in His humility feared no man, will He fear any man in His glory? From His dealing thus confidently in time past, imagine how He will deal at the end of time. Murmur not then against God, who seems to spare the wicked; but be thou good, and perhaps for a season He may not spare you the rod, that He may in the end spare you in judgment...."
