Congress needs to listen to the life of Charlie Kirk. Congress needs to embody one tenth the virtue of Charlie Kirk and that one tenth would be a trailblazing improvement for a polluted organization. But Congress has proven it has no interest in anything approaching virtuousness. As a practitioner of perfidy, Congress sits at the epicenter of blame for the death of Kirk and the heartless deaths of millions of other Americans. Congress and its vile handmaiden, Legacy Media, sustain an evil culture that has ripped apart the very foundation of the basic American ethic — the noble belief in Christian virtues. Rip apart the family unit. Rip apart the ideals of individual responsibility and accountability. Rip away free speech. Rip away Truth and replace it with deceit. Unfortunately, good people shrink from passing judgment, for casting blame. Christians embrace Christ’s admonition “Let the person with no sin be the first to cast a stone . . . .” Sorry, Lord. What happened to Charlie Kirk is beyond sin. The people who contributed to his death must be called out. All but a few of the 260 Democrat house members and senators are complicit to murder on a grand scale. They freely supported, if not encouraged, the immigration policies of Joe Biden — policies that knowingly led directly to the murder of Americans — deaths that occurred day after day, month after month, year after year, as a nation stood by witnessing a modern-day holocaust. Listen closely. Do you hear one confession? One hint of remorse? Football coaches take more heat for the loss of one game than Washington politicians take for the loss of thousands of lives. Have you heard Legacy Media (LM) condemn the Democrat Party and demand an end to ill-fated policies? Instead, LM ginned up lies about Donald Trump, creating an atmosphere of hate that played an important role in the two attempts to end his life. To be fair, Media — or what used to be called Journalism — died before Donald Trump or Charlie Kirk made national headlines. Always left-leaning, evidenced by their disdain for powerful business interests and successful individualists, Journalism sold its soul to Barak Obama. Willfully, unreservedly, LM betrayed its professional oath as the honorable Fourth Estate — the vow to seek objective Truth. In succession, America’s slide into Socialism became a landslide. Whether you believe the rest of the story or not, you may not deny the injection of critical race theory and sexual orientation studies into the public school system. You may not deny the subsequent glorification of BLM, accompanied by nationwide riots, civic destruction and loss of life — crimes that went unpunished, ignored and often celebrated. Quickly, the dogmas of DEI, Woke-ism and Gender subjectivity infiltrated the hallways of government, universities, corporations and even houses of worship. When Trump blew back into town the second time, despite the marshaled forces of the Establishment who, by the way, no longer need naming, the people who still believe in the American ethic stood up and spoke up to send a message — and for the time being, post modern dogmas have drifted from the limelight. But Tyler Robinson (and you might as well face reality), Legacy Media, the Democrat Party and millions of rich, poor, old and young voters, are unwilling to debate issues and recognize that free speech is among the Constitution’s most revered freedoms. Therefore, true to the blueprint for success in achieving power, Leftist zealots fall back on a not so secret weapon — simply eliminate the obstacle. One of their ilk — as so often is the case, a young activist — decided he hated Charlie Kirk, and had at least one family member who also hated Charlie Kirk for allegedly “spreading hate and fascism.” That crime seemed egregious enough for Robinson to hide on a rooftop about 150  yards away and courageously end the life of a young man who was willing to courageously and openly say what he believed. Too bad Robinson couldn’t bother speaking with millions of his generation who would say that love was at the heart of Kirk’s message. Too bad Robinson didn’t find a way to meet and talk with Charlie Kirk. Too bad he chose instead to steal the life of someone he didn’t even know. Kill him for what he said. Your anger for him and the culture of tyranny that bred him knows no bounds. And yet you’re insistently reminded of other words: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Note: Typically, LM stands shoulder to shoulder to infer that Kirk got what he deserved. He aligned himself with Donald Trump. The message is clear.  Better watch your tongue. The war against the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights will never end. And neither will the war against the American Republic itself. Ed.

By varying degrees, evildoers have populated Washington D.C. since its official beginning in 1790. But the large-scale, treasonous nature of Capitol Hill escalated in earnest with the election of Barak Obama in 2008. It intensified with the candidacy of Donald Trump in 2015, multiplied exponentially with his victory, persisted during his alleged 2020 defeat and mushroomed with Biden’s pathetically illicit administration. If you want to suffer through chapter and verse of just the past 10 years of traitorous activity, you can risk the utter tedium of a Sean (you know) Hannity monologue on radio. Or you can simply google Director of National Intelligence Gabbard’s recent press conference. Good for you, Tulsi. But sorry to say, there’s widespread cynicism among the grass roots — a squawk that Trump wants you to have exposure, to put on an executive show, slap around the opposition a bit and keep the base optimistic. Trouble is, Tulsi, the base is up to here with smoking guns and the savvy ones think you’re shooting blanks. Sorry, but the cynicism is earned. Better you were invisible to the base and suddenly showed up with arrest warrants. But, anyway, good for you, You did make the accusations against a bunch of two-faced crooks, including former presidents and their cronies who are still walking the hallowed halls of the most venerated buildings in America. But guess what, Tulsi? You missed out accusing the biggest crooks of them all. Legacy Media were overt accomplices to treason. No, they weren’t mistaken; no, they weren’t misled; no, they haven’t owned their lies. For years, they acted with premeditation, knowingly parroting lies, encouraging the impeachment of a President. But forget Trump. Forget his attempted assassinations. Forget the millions of dollars wasted on a scam and fraud. Without Legacy Media — ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, WP, NYT, WSJ — even PBS and Big Tech — thousands of lives would not have been lost to domestic genocide — to illegal immigration’s fentanyl deaths, murders, child trafficking, graft and corruption, not to speak of disastrous Covid abuses — the lies, business shutdowns, repurpose drug prohibitions and continued suppression of doctors and other medical practitioners. If you have an iota of doubt about this accusation, Tulsi, look how Media just treated your sensational press conference. On balance, you have been categorically ignored and hastily marginalized. There is no credible story that leads to treason. It doesn’t exist. In fact, you have been targeted for daring to utter the “T” word. Interestingly enough, and once again, the Legacy Media’s pernicious “journalistic” record is in plain slight for a forensic analysis by the FCC, JD & SCOTUS. But no examination has been or will be implemented. Surely, by now, the distinguished University of Missouri must be a sizzling think tank, outraged by America’s journalistic decay. But, no,Tulsi, no call to arms from the Mo. dean, faculty or student body. Instead, American universities are feeding the Media syndicate. Even more sinister is the ugly fact — that America’s majority, including scores of Trump voters, still swallow Legacy Media deceit. So don’t get sucked in to thinking that LM will somehow, somehow, eventually, travel the rehabilitation highway. Never happen, Matilda. Not until time passes and current media owners, execs and staff turn over to a new generation of Americans — eager to embrace corny values like honesty, integrity and morality. For now, there’s heartfelt advice for Donald Trump and his brain trust. Get wise, sir. Your adoring millions are passionate about the border, the economy, foreign policy, and the debt; but the size of that passion is dwarfed by rage, by the hunger to see America’s Scales of Justice visit her traitors. In true crime stories, you hear victim families talk about the importance of “closure.” In the case of Washington, D.C., the nation’s victims want a “cleansing.”

Ah, the Big Beautiful Bill, Donald called it. One thing he does understand is Marketing 101. Give something a name and it has brand value; or if the value is overstated, it still has the power of awareness. People are always loyal to a brand until it betrays them. Just ask Bud Light which continues to lose market share to major brands it used to mash (pun intended). Big Beautiful Bill builder Trump is himself a brand. But former pal Elon Musk’s loyalty to the boss has apparently evaporated because Elon believes the President folded on his pledge to smash Federal spending — by touting and signing a bill that is a shell of what it should be.

Dear Elon,

Of course you’re wrong. You may be a genius, but you were impossibly naive about the reality of D.O.G.E. You also shouldn’t be blamed for jumping ship. When you jumped on the D.O.G.E. saddle, you were fired up to implement the Trump promise to the American people. You believed the hype. You believed Trump would overnight dismantle the Federal bureaucracy. In your inventive mind, you had little more than a year left before the midterms — so much to do and so little time — and no doubt you relied on the Man to take giant steps to influence Congress to take a giant leap that would take a chainsaw to federal spending. Sorry, sir, the Big Beautiful Bill was not nearly strong enough to meet your logical business expectations. To the GOP’s credit, the bill does correct many of the most villainous Biden policies. But at the end of the day, the massive Federal budget still looms over a country with a monumental ($37 trillion) debt, and with intrusive federal agencies that still exercise their unconstitutional powers. Granted, all of it pisses you off. Nonetheless, Elon, please find a way to chat with Donald just as Benjamin (Franklin) chatted with John (Adams) who refused to buckle on the proposed slavery passage in the Declaration of Independence. Adams wouldn’t agree to remove the offending paragraph because of “principle.” He was unyielding as the entire South stood poised to scuttle American independence. Franklin was alleged to have said something like, “John, we are here trying to found a new nation; we can’t fight the slavery issue until we have a United States.” The Big Beautiful Bill passed the House by two measly votes, Elon. The opposition called the bill a travesty, vigorously reported by leftwing media. Trump made good on several key promises at least to stop the bleeding and begin the healing. All the while, he’s made great strides in foreign policy. Elon, many Americans are sympathetic to your dissent. Please put aside your animosity and help him. Remind him that his policies are transient when a new administration occupies the White House. Openly help him achieve what is possible in the short time left. With you in his corner, you are in a position to help shape the narrative.  The lay of the land is this. Congress has not changed and will not change and neither will the SCOTUS. The Democrat Party still owns more than half the electorate. The GOP has not a speck of interest in a diminished Federal Government and will never elect another outlier. A third party would hand off America to some version of communism. Donald does not owe his 2024 victory to the GOP — he owes it to America’s great middle classes who are sympathetic to all of the Elon Musks that inhabit the new administration. You must encourage Trump to use his bully pulpit to tell the nation what needs to happen during and after his days are done in D.C. He and you must use your influence to appeal to all Americans — friend and foe alike — to adopt the principals that gave them a country that is the envy of the world. So consider advising him: Mr. President, create a manifesto — a document that will become recorded history for future generations. Tell him he might call it the Liberty Manifesto. In it, he would list the essential precepts of liberty. Perhaps, Elon, you might offer a few recommendations:

Every individual is sovereign. All individuals are responsible and accountable for their own lives. All adult individuals must be part of the American workforce. Liberty cannot endure when one half the country is dependent on the forced charity of the other half via borrowed money. The Federal Government must abolish gratuitous economic aid at home and abroad. The Federal Government must relinquish all domestic jurisdiction to state and local governments. The Supreme Court of the United States must roll back its runaway interpretation of The Constitution. Congress must be confined to a balanced budget and restrained from dispensing special interest monies from the US Treasury without a two-thirds majority consent.

Trump’s Manifesto could very well be the inspiration behind a necessary national dialogue. We have the Founders’ documents behind glass. Trump’s testament must reside appropriately alongside other historic figures. He must leave behind his counsel now, while he’s in the arena. He must speak, teach and reach future lawmakers and influence the neglected generations. Help him, Elon.

Respectfully, Ed.
