Why the Left is to Blame for Charlie Kirk’s M*rder
The attacks from the left against the First and Second Amendments have become more deranged and dangerous since the election campaign began in earnest last year.

What Happened
Leading conservative influencer, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Kirk, 31 had been responding to student questions for around 20 minutes when a single shot rang out.
The question he was answering was related to recent shootings involving transgender activists.
Videos available online (but since removed) showed the shooting from several angles. A camera around 150 feet from Kirk recorded the sound of the shot followed by the vision of Kirk slumping back in his chair.
Footage from a camera situated no more than 20 feet from Kirk graphically showed the full extent of the impact. Kirk was part way through answering the question when suddenly you could see his body shudder from the impact of the bullet to his throat, followed by a gush of bl**d from the wound.
It’s clear from the image that the bullet must have struck an artery with Kirk likely unconscious before he even hit the ground.
Why it Matters
This assassination is the latest in a series of attacks on prominent public figures, mostly conservatives, although there have been attacks on liberal politicians too.
But the attacks from the left have been far more vicious and relentless. It was approximately this time last year that a crazed gunman shot at and struck then presidential candidate, Donald J Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
DoorDash’s $79B Explosion — But bigger?
When DoorDash first hit the scene, critics brushed it off as “nothing new.”
And here’s the kicker: they were right.
Yet the founders of this "delivery business” knew something that the rest of the world missed.
Today, DoorDash is worth $79 billion, with a valuation increase of 110,800% for early investors.
But there may be a second chance with a company that recently grew 32,481%.
No, it’s not a food delivery service…
It’s a company that rests at the intersection of three fast-growing global markets, driven by the same vision of turning personal assets into income streams.
Mode Mobile is tapping into the earning potential of smartphones, and the results speak for themselves:
● Helped users earn and save more than $325 million
● $75M+ in revenue and growing.
● #1 in software on Deloitte's 2023 fastest-growing companies list.
There are over 8 billion smartphones and Mode has gained the support of over 50,000 investors.
Their last two rounds were oversubscribed at $0.30/share and only limited room remains in the current one.
The shooter was subsequently taken out by a Secret Service marksman.
Political violence isn’t new to American politics. President’s Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy have all been assassinated while in office. An attempt was made to assassinate President Reagan in 1981, and two former presidents (Theodore Roosevelt and Trump) were both subject to attempted assassinations while running for re-election.
Although Charlie Kirk wasn’t a president, he was a prominent influencer who campaigned for President Trump’s re-election and was close personally to Donald Trump Jr. and key Trump Administration officials.
Importantly, it shouldn’t be a surprise that something like this happened. Earlier this week, mainstream news channel, CNN went so far as to criticize Kirk for his comments about the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a mentally deranged black man.
Pundits on CNN claimed, without evidence, that Kirk was deliberately trying to stoke division among Americans by turning it into a racial issue.
How it Affects You
There’s no doubt that due to commentary from the mainstream media, it’s a dangerous time to be a conservative.
The attacks from the left against the First and Second Amendments have become more deranged and dangerous since the election campaign began in earnest last year.
Any thoughts that the unsuccessful attempt on Donald Trump’s life last year may have caused liberals to wind back their rhetoric have come to nothing. It seems their goal is to make their supporters as angry as possible and then blame conservatives and the Second Amendment when the left-wing lunatics respond to the rhetoric with violence.
