@anne56799567 @dan9700 @JDVance Because God knows that Charlie can do more as a martyr in heaven than a force on Earth.

@dan9700 @JDVance To be honest, I thought about this last night. I am a God-fearing woman ,I was like he might be one of the strongest people on this earth to fight this ugly, and you took him. How?

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today. Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome." Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too. Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man. When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was. Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him. Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas. Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate. He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family. Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government. I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in. God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly. You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.

@thompson_lav @jsibo @netflix Oh pleeze.........

@jsibo @netflix Great interview. If ever there was a time the world needed flower sprinkles and finding beauty in community and the "small things," it's now.

I interviewed Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, at the TIME100 Summit in NYC today. We discussed Meghan’s journey as a founder and CEO, including launching her brand, As ever, her popular @netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan. Inspired by the theme of her podcast, I asked Meghan if she had a confession she’d like to share with the room. The audience applauded when they heard her uplifting response — this is the happiest she has ever been.

@CollinRugg Nobody believes ABC news.

NEW: The View's Joy Behar says people like their show because they tell the truth, unlike "dragon believer" Joe Rogan. Lmao. Whoopi Goldberg later chimed in & claimed conservatives on X are bullying people off the platform and that Elon Musk is the real Vice President. Behar: "I think that that's why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News." "We went from Walter Cronkite, to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons." Goldberg: I think a lot of Republicans who have different opinions are leaving X... I believe Elon Musk is the actual vice president.

@FoxNews No respect for a woman who let's her clearly demented husband be made a mockery of.

@brittneygriner You took a knee during the national anthem, bad mouthed America. Not been a good example to either gay or straight women. Hoping what you have been through causes you to pause and stand, put your hand over your heart during the national anthem. Be very grateful.

@marklevinshow Time to retire! Like NOW~!!~

McConnell is a huge drag on GOP.  He’s disliked by Republicans and everyone else. For good reason. breitbart.com/politics/2022/…

@DineshDSouza @KariLake @RealMarkFinchem @AbrahamHamadeh @bgmasters Yes, her name is Katie Hobbs. No way should she have been in a position to certify the election.

Something is rotten in the state of Arizona @KariLake @RealMarkFinchem @AbrahamHamadeh @bgmasters

@BoSnerdley No they are not. Only vote on election day. Absentee ballots should only sent to those that ask and show the need. i.e. unable to drive, homebound due to disability. Absentee ballots must be postmarked with a valid signature, and date one week prior to election day.

Let me ask it this way. Despite the supposed fact there is "no evidence" to claim otherwise... Do you THINK - that elections in this country are run in a fair and impartial manner?

@RubinReport There is something seriously wrong with this.

@PatriciaHeaton God certainly has not stopped the fighting in Russia and Ukraine or the firing of ballistic missiles from North Korea. Security certainly does rest in the hands of man and governments. Our president and our government are driving us into ruin. I don't see God stopping this

For those of you who are Christians and who feel disappointed or despairing of the election results, it is a blessing to be reminded that our security does not rest in men or governments, which are finite and will eventually crumble, but in God alone who is ever sustaining.

@Acyn Again, no mask, HYPOCRITE!!!!!

I wonder of there’s a discussion about reconciliation going on here

@AOC you are an idiot and supremely bad for this country. Why, because you see nothing wrong with the lies you spew.
