A Voice Silenced: Charlie Kirk's Tragic Death

September 10th, 2025

Like all other conservative, America-loving patriots, I am reeling from the devastating news of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The feeling is surreal. Anger, sadness, disbelief. The full range of emotions.

I feel like I knew Charlie Kirk. I gleaned so much from this young man. He single-handedly changed the course of this country. He stopped the pollution of young minds. Turning Point USA is, not was, the Charlie Kirk revolution. He helped Donald Trump recapture the White House.

As I write this, looking at his images, my eyes are misting over. Youthful, vibrant, handsome, with his beautiful family, I feel a void thinking of his demise, but from this abyss, I can feel a renewed hope like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The assassin took Charlie from us, but he cannot take away his ideas.

Charlie, the embodiment of the American spirit, will live on stronger in death, his spirit alive inside all of us. A piece of America died today with Kirk, but this will only make his movement stronger. Do not forget your dying king. "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT."
