When Charlie Kirk was assassinated administration talking heads declared that this was clearly done by the “radical left” and/or the demonic Democrat Party. When the shooter surrendered himself (with Kash Patel claiming the FBI worked out … can he become more cartoonish?) it was established that his family was apparently deeply conservative so it wasn’t as if the shooter was steeped in “woke ideology.” Then a family member described Tyler Robinson’s as having been “moving left” and the Administrations goons jumped on that saying “See, he was groomed by the radical left.
Now, given that the family is self-described as being very conservative, we would place them somewhere on the right-left spectrum at either near far-right or actually far right. Moving leftward from there, you have the right, the more liberal-right, the center-right, the center, the center-left, the conservative-left, the left, the far left, and then the radical left.
So, “moving left” from where the family is could have been all the way left to the center-right, or … gosh! … even to the center.
Does it appear to you as it does to me that the left-right labels are of no longer any use to us. They are not descriptive and people are just more complicated than simple labels. (Antifa! Antifa! Aren’t we all against fascism?)
I wrote several times about the Charlie Kirk assassination, having never heard of the man prior to his killing. In those posts, if memory serves, I criticized people jumping to conclusions and offered no conclusions of my own other than hypothetical ones. You know, picking the low hanging fruit by criticizing Stephen Miller, Presidential Asshole-in-Chief. He wanted the Democratic Party to be labeled as a terrorist group, having not said a peep when Democrats were assaulted and even killed in Minnesota about the MAGA crowd being a terrorist group. You can make a case for that, in that whenever Trump criticizes a judge, almost a daily occurrence now, the judge receives death threats and often has to reinforce whatever security arrangements they have. That is using fear as a weapon a common trait of terrorist groups.
Remember the guy who supposedly shot Trump’s ear (and was killed at the scene so he couldn’t be interrogated)? In August 2024, the FBI described the incident as an act of domestic terrorism and noted that Thomas Crooks’s social media activity included antisemitic and anti-immigrant themes. (According to NPR “Investigators have found no threatening language on his social media accounts, according to Wells of the FBI’s counterterrorism division.”) However, the investigation has not established a definitive motive. Sound’s like Trump’s FBI. They couldn’t identify a motive, but they found some tiny comments and so it was domestic terrorism.
What are we doing people? Doing to one another and ourselves by this bizarre rash behavior?
Uncommon Sense 
I Hadn’t Heard of Charlie Kirk …

… until his assassination made the news … and I knew little of him, but since some time has passed and a number of year-end reviews have mentioned him and his wife, I now have any opinion of his character. Anyone who would marry Erika Kirk has no judgment, nor any idea of what meaningful relationships are. The behavior of his widow tells me everything I need to know about the man’s character. I will not say “may he rest in peace” as the dead need no rest, nor can they experience the same. The phrase when I was a child was “good riddance to bad rubbish.”
Please note that I do not advocate for violence of any kind, I’ll let our president do that. (Has anybody counted how many people, beside Jimmy Kimmel, that our Schmuck à l’Orange has suggest be killed?)
