If I die please don’t ignore my public teachings while believing rumors that I was radically changing my beliefs in secret. I also suggest extending that same courtesy to Charlie Kirk. What’s clear is that Kirk was a powerfully influential person and in his absence many people want to wield that influence for themselves after Charlie is no longer able to speak or correct a rumor. Lucas here seems to be honoring the man rather than abusing his legacy.

A few recent interviews with John Yep ( @USAYep ) are circulating the claim that Charlie Kirk ( @charliekirk11 ) was in the process of converting to Catholicism. That claim is not accurate, and it needs to be corrected. As the Senior Director of TPUSA’s Faith division and someone who served directly under Charlie’s leadership during the final year and a half of his life, I am in a position to speak plainly about this. I have personally communicated with Charlie’s wife, @MrsErikaKirk, and I also spoke directly with Father Kline, the priest referenced in these discussions. After those conversations, the facts are straightforward: • Charlie was not in the process of converting to Catholicism • He never took Catholic conversion classes (OCIA) • His marriage was never convalidated in the Catholic Church • He was baptized Presbyterian and remained a Bible believing evangelical throughout his life Father Kline indicated concern that his prior comments have been misconstrued and that the current public narrative is not accurately representing his conversations with Charlie’s intentions. Let me be clear, respect for Catholicism is not the same thing as moving toward conversion. Charlie respected many people across denominational lines. Like many evangelicals, including myself, he read widely, including Augustine and Aquinas. None of that constitutes a conversion trajectory. In my own conversations with Charlie, he was firm on justification by grace and did not believe he could biblically reconcile certain Catholic doctrines, including Mariology and the invocation of the Saints. In the few instances he was present at mass, he found it peaceful and beautiful. Charlie enjoyed sitting inside the empty sanctuary to worship in peace without being asked for selfies etc. That is a long way from entering OCIA. If there had been an active conversion process, there would be documentation. There is none. Charlie loved all true Christians, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Evangelical. Again, that is a long way from entering OCIA. That this even has to be addressed is bizarre. An occasional “fist bump” does not equate to intimate friendship nor give @USAYep the authority to speak on behalf of the dead. I would caution him to take care not to overstate what the facts simply do not support. This is not about scoring theological points. It is about honoring Charlie’s actual life and faith with accuracy and refusing to let speculation rewrite his story.

@MayorFrey He pulled a 9mm gun on the agents.

Today, we lost another Minneapolis neighbor after multiple ICE agents pummeled him and shot him to death. How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends? President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first & get ICE out.

@JoJoFromJerz He pulled a 9mm gun on the agents.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

@bpmckeon64 @MattMorseTV Yes

@MattMorseTV Would you be okay being detained by ICE for a period of 2 hours to 2 days so we can deport more people?

In the last 12 months, there have only been 170 confirmed instances in which an American citizen was temporarily, improperly detained by ICE. In that same timeframe, there have been approximately 622,000 forced deporations. This puts ICE’s improper, temporary detention rate at 0.027%. In other words, ICE has a 99.973% success rate.

@marklucovsky @MattMorseTV Pretty sure there are zero cases of what you described happening. If I’m wrong, please give me the name of the person that happened to.

@MattMorseTV Now let’s assume your mom is one of the 170. But she was held for 3 days. Came home with a broken arm, missing tooth, and stitches on her left nipple due to a bite. Still good right?

@ScottAdamsSays Praise God. We have all been praying for Christ to draw you to himself.

It took me a long time as well. Don’t let any complaints or criticism stop you. There is definitely not one way. Please give your life to Jesus and then dive into his word. I know you said you won’t be responding and that’s fine but if I could just give you a suggestion, it would be to spend as much time as possible reading the Bible. Read the gospel‘s backwards starting with John. Then read the book of Acts. Then go wherever the Spirit of the Lord leads you. I pray that the peace which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Okay, all the complaining has almost talked me out of it. Apparently, many people believe there is one right way to do it.

I appreciate the outpouring of suggestions and questions, but what happens next is between me and Jesus. I won’t be responding to your well-intentioned messages on this topic. (There are a lot!) I hope you understand. And thank you.

@PhilMickelson @Notwokenow Exactly!

@Notwokenow They’re usually on the receiving end 😉

Serious question: Why don’t Democrats care about their money being stolen through rampant fraud and corruption?

@ScottAdamsSays @joelpollak Done 👍🏼

I have a favor to ask. If my work helped you, or someone you know, please follow my biographer and good friend @joelpollak and leave a comment here in case he wants to follow up with you on DMs. It gives me great joy to learn about any contribution I made. I tried to be useful.

The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says. Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation.

And?!

@NICKIMINAJ Hallelujah and Amen 🙏🏼

Angels bow before him. Heaven & Earth adore him. What a mighty God we serve.

@evitaduffy_1 I couldn’t agree more. They have hassled pregnant women and old ladies long enough.

I nearly missed my flight this morning after the TSA made me wait 15 minutes for a pat-down because I’m pregnant and didn’t feel like getting radiation exposure from their body scanner. The agents were passive-aggressive, rude, and tried to pressure me and another pregnant woman into just walking through the scanner because it’s “safe.” After finally getting the absurdly invasive pat-down, I barely made my flight. All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job. Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I’d handed over my biometric data to a random private company (CLEAR). Then I could enjoy the special privilege of waiting in a shorter line to be treated like a terrorist in my own country. Is this freedom? Travel, brought to you by George Orwell—and the privilege of convenience based solely on your willingness to surrender biometric data and submit to radiation exposure? The “golden age of transportation” cannot begin until the TSA is gone.

Walking through Denver airport today and came upon a quartet singing Christmas carols. When they came to the line "God and sinners reconciled," tears flooded my eyes. A sinner like me reconciled with the Holy and eternal Lord of all. What a glorious and profound reality. I love Christmas.

@shaunmmaguire And I won’t be shocked if he got in a car and drove to MIT to murder that Jewish professor
