I agree with your wife. It all started with Obummer. We can't stay in the shadows. We must all do our parts. The evil will not stop.

Spot on, as always, Cap'n... this is both heartbreaking and infuriating. God help us.

God had other plans for Charlie. We know he is with his Father in Heaven. We are not a body with a soul, but a soul with a body.

His death just made me more determined. More determined to speak out. More determined to conceal carry. And definitely more determined to leave this country a better place for my granddaughter.

Dictatorships, communist regimes, etc. can only survive when opposing actions and voices are rigidly suppressed – examples abound. J.Edgar Hoover warned us: Communist takeovers need chaos and disorder, sewn by only 20% of the population – not 51%. Attempts at shaming us into "wokeism" are but one example of the opening salvos at silencing. Paid agitators are now underway. Criminals are instantly released. Already, subtle examples abound in our own daily worlds yet the media regularly hide them and mask them. Violent silencing is increasing. The only response is to stand stronger, not cower, like CaptK so well reminds us. Let's all please remember – maintaining democracy and freedom is far easier than re-establishing them when lost.

Capt K, this has been a tough 24 hours for many…yet we are crystallized in our fearless resolve.

I don’t know the future, but there’s a fight, fight, fight ahead, and it won’t end well for the snipers in the weeds, whatever stripes they might bear.

Only God can shine the light bright enough to change the hearts of those who persecute the truth-tellers. Please read Acts 9:1-23 (KJV suggested) for a reminder of the most complete divine conversion in the history of mankind. Ananias was the first witness, who said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.”

Nobody was praying the Lord save Saul, but that’s what happened to “a chosen vessel” whose footsteps I follow (because I can’t walk on water).

It is fitting that we pray for patience and understanding, even though we can’t wait to fight fire with fire in response to the incomprehensible horror of yesterday, and 24 years ago, today.

Thank you for this treatise that brings many into singular accord. And thank all who served and serve still in the armed forces and public safety. My father’s remains are near your father’s, overlooking the Potomac south of D. C., let us cherish their memory.

And, let us all be filled with the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

Unfortunately, this is what I have been trying to get people to understand for about a decade now. These people do not want what they say they want. When they say they want peace, what they mean is submit or die. When they say people should be careful what they say, what they mean is shut the hell up or die. These people are wholly uncivilized and unhinged. The demoncrap party is the same today as it was in 1880: these killers are the new KKK, the military wing of the demoncrap party. They exist to terrorize opponents and anyone who dares stand against the will of the party. George Soros learned a lot while working for the Nazis as a child. He is using that playbook today in America. They are wholly evil, all of them. You can't vote for a democrat and hope to have peace with God. If you think that you can, then you are lying to yourself.

I never followed Kirk, or watched his videos. The only times I saw him was as a guest on various shows. Yet, the feelings that hit me yesterday with this news, and are still with me today, are similar to yours. I am shaken, somber, and apprehensive. No, you can not coexist with those who wish you dead. I hope civil war is not at the end of this road, but if it is, I will be there.

Thank you Seth for writing today at this difficult time.

“Fighting the fight is the only way to respond to yesterday’s evil, and I encourage all to seek common ground with those on the side of good with whom you disagree.”

We have all been taken back by this, but you’ve hit the nail on the head with the above.

Great response to this sad, sad time! I'll pray for God's protection over all of you that are fighting this great fight! I know that God has already secured a victory for us. Let that knowledge raise up a great army in the fight for our countries very soul. I love you….and am so proud of all that you and Rachel do. So thankful for you….

You make some excellent points, Seth. Thank you for your thoughts. I definitely agree about BHO and about fake sympathy and unity.

The left is continually baffled that their attempts to goad us into violence have failed. That being so, they pulled a Thanos and said "Fine, I'll do it myself."

As for our side, beyond agreeing with you, all I can say is this...
