Your media is, reporting that only 100,000 people turned out for Tommie Robinson rally ,and others are saying 1 million. Which is which ,was the pro Palestinian 2023 rally more attended?
5000 counter protesters were allowed to meet with the Unite the Kingdom rally ,this ensured police got to arrest the troublesome far right

Someone asked about the publicly gay people. Do they date and marry transexual men? If not then maybe the gay community know there could be something mental about those who think they are trapped in the wrong bodies.

Multiple leftist groups in Utah under investigation over their possible involvement in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
I believe Antifa is one among them. George Soros funds I believe may also be scrutiny.
I'm not vouching for this news alert until confirmed by budaatum.

---Compare the divisions Felon 47 had caused in the past 10 years---and during Obama's years---there is huge difference---

I’m a committed Christian, a strong believer in free speech, and an advocate for critical thinking that refuses to settle for shallow binaries. I believe in wrestling with the full weight of human complexity: spiritual, moral, and behavioral.

Yesterday, someone asked if I was familiar with Charlie Kirk. I said, “Yes. While I agree with some of his positions rooted in biblical ethics, I generally avoid his content. His anti-Black rhetoric makes it hard to see his platform as one rooted in justice, truth, or sound theology."

Learning of his death, I was jolted by the (unconfirmed) possibility that one’s politics could incur mortal risk. And what I’ve witnessed since has left me equally unsettled.

There is an idol complex that has taken root in certain Christian spaces where allegiance to a platform, or in this case, religious identity, is mistaken for faithfulness to Christ, leading to the uncritical endorsement of racist rhetoric.

Kirk has argued that Blacks are disproportionately violent and criminal due to cultural decay, a claim that not only lacks theological integrity but disregards well-documented structural factors such as over-policing, racialized surveillance, historic disinvestment, and systemic bias within the criminal justice system.

Statistics reflect who is targeted, not who is inherently criminal. We are 3.6x more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than Whites despite similar usage rates, and Black men are 23.4% less likely than White men to receive probation, even when convicted of similar offenses (among those who are incarcerated their sentences are longer). Darker‑skinned Blacks fare worse: receiving significantly longer sentences than lighter‑skinned Blacks or Whites with comparable charges.

I struggle to understand how someone who presented himself as an intellectual and Christian can so confidently weaponize data without confronting the structures of sin and power behind it. Yet, when mass school shootings (committed overwhelmingly by White males) dominate national headlines, he didn’t label that a White cultural pathology. He didn’t ask what’s broken in White family structures, or call it the fruit of moral collapse. When the perpetrators are Black, however, the judgment becomes collective and cultural.

One would expect that both Black and White conservative Christians, grounded in a biblical understanding of sinfulness, would reject narratives suggesting one group is more depraved. Yet, such claims are advanced behind appeals to statistics, “law and order,” or cultural pathology, and receive little resistance when endorsed by a Christian figure. This reveals not only theological inconsistency but a dangerous tolerance for sin when it aligns with political loyalty. If our allegiance is to Christ, we must reject tribalism and pursue a faith marked by biblical integrity.

Our theology must be consistent, and our witness must be rooted in truth, even when it's uncomfortable. Especially then.


---Written by A. Joseph---
Kirk used to hold open debates. Ask me , prove me wrong. Show me one person who proved him wrong , it's that simple. And how he reacted after being proven wrong. He used to respond on social media,so why is this guy getting airtime now?
I hate to speak ill of the dead or the sick and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing that article up without any rejoinder.
Why didn't they ask him when he was alive? TPUSA is still alive, he should ask them now instead of trying to justify the anger people may have had due to him.

Cococandy is talking about freedom to post anything.. Charlie Kirk had once been banned by Twitter. They had tried on several occasions and failed to reach a consensus , but when he alleged the 2020 election was fraudulent they banned him.

Matt Taibbi, who released Twitter files has the receipts.

I don’t have time to dissect your writing for all the nonsense you are spewing here. Trump is your hero if you don’t see the damage he is causing domestically (division) and internationally (throwing allies under the bus and rolling out the red carpet to Putin). Bye.
Tyler Robinson roommate was a transgender. He helping FBI and his input was vital in nailing him.
Charlie Kirk is straight who preached about a complete family. Father Mother and children if you don't know.
That would add impetus to Tyler hating Kirk.

Your hero was too cowardly to debate Harris for a second time. Spare me with this your nonsense list. When did Trump last give an interview on a liberal network? How many journalists did he exclude from White House press conferences? Nonsense with ingredients.
Trump is not my hero. I agree with him on most issues because I don't like liberals reasoning and conduct. Look at what havoc your god Obama left in libya, Syria,Iraq .There was no media to call him.out. I can call him a stealth jihadist
Before he became president,CNN was a reliable news network.So many journalists and media houses had their biases but they strove to be balanced. Enter the tin god,I don't know whether he spied abd blackmailed them ,but journalism was thrown out of the window. Hatred was allowed to foster. When Trump won,media officially became the democrat PR department.

What's the point of debating Kamala with biased moderators. Actually show one positive news item about Trump from MSNBC, NBC, CNN . None at all.Nada.Zilch.
Your charlatan god Obama never takes questions from real journalists Add Biden. They run to safe spaces like he made liberals, demand in public spaces.

Tyler Robsonso is a Fruits of Obama change we can believe in What change was it apart from race baiting,divisive politics and putting boys in girls washroons ? Useless man,wonder my Mitchell hasn't divorced him.
Tyler Robsonso had the help of all the Democrat news media who labeled Trump and all who follow him as Nazi’s and Hitlerites. If you believed that crap why wouldn’t you want to shoot them? Save six million Jews, small children, and decent Democrats from death camps and an end to Democracy as we know it. If you believe Trump would never step down, make himself president for life. and use rabid Christian fanatics to force all to church and use his power to force a corrupt religion on to people. If you buy the idea that Trump is a form of Bond Villain bent on world domination you would be a hero to try and stop him any way you can. How many lives would have been saved if a bullet took out Castro? or Mao? The Left was too good at their propaganda and maybe that was the goal all along

They only go to TV Stations where they most likely have questions before hand or they won't be asked anything serious by fawning activists pretending to be journalists.
Unlike Trump who goes deep into enemy territory and entertains their questions any time.

So Charlie Kirk used to hold "Prove me Wrong " debates. Everyone welcome to challenge his ideas on literally everything he believed in You go do your research and ask him questions which he would try his level best to answer
He wasn't like a social media influencer with 20 million folliwers who post content that goes viral , with a large chunk believing what was posted.
No, he was ask me personally I'll be here on this day to take your questions.
For tha, t they celebrate his death May his soul rest in peace. May his efforts bear fruit.

To spoil this. When was Obama or Biden ever asked any question by a credible journalist or panelist. Answer: Never ever including in presidential debates

#walkaway has been trending on TikTok. Pink haired, nose rings , name it etc leftists have posted tens of thousands of videos expressing disgust with the democrats reactions , many quiting the plantation.
Liberals are doing everything to insinuate Tyler was a Republican a Trump supporter..
Saw somewhere that the Halloween photo of Tyler with Trump costume was someone else..
Over 600 liberals have lost their jobs including doctors, professors, executives plus a secret service agent who was suspended.
The hatred of conservatives is real and shocking . Some people have posted they have workmates who are good people but after 20 minutes of talk, they discover their colleagues are not what they seem to be.

social media boom is what you are looking at not Obama
Obama lit the fire in America. Social media helped him pour gasoline..
Other countries don't have that problem , some like Korea have almost 100% internet penetration.
Social media is also one of the most effective policing tool, many crimes trigger law enforcement from social media . It also allows mass surveillance without any laws being broken.
At an ISP level , a catchall mailbox can capture every email. Every email sent received is easily captured from the logs..
Social media and technology gives the govt more tools to surveil.

Obama had something to do with mass shootings I've asked several chatbots , all conclude mass shootings increased under Obama.

Ronald Reagan (1981–1989): 5
George H.W. Bush (1989–1993): 0
Bill Clinton (1993–2001): 6
George W. Bush (2001–2009): 5
Barack Obama (2009–2017): 31
Donald Trump (2017–2021): 29
Joe Biden (2021–2025): 35



There is no point looking for solutions if you can't question the root source and you also want to be politically correct .
If you ask me the explosion of Anti West rhetoric in the media and school system under Obama is a big factor. Do they still teach civics in schools there?

This is the part you are supposed to say I am wrong about antifa.

But answer this.

1: Tell us about anytime the proud boys killed anyone

2: Tell us anytime they attacked anyone aside from antifa.

3: Tell us anytime they attacked any democrat

4: Tell us when they burn down an entire block including a police station.

The Proud Boys were formed in 2016 by Gavin McInnes, a Canadian far-right commentator and co-founder of Vice Media, as a self-described "Western chauvinist" fraternal organization. The group emerged during a period of heightened cultural and political polarization in the United States, particularly around the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Below is a concise explanation of why the Proud Boys were founded, based on their stated goals, McInnes’s public statements, and the broader context.

This is when antifa were harassing right wing speakers and beating up trump supporters.

They were formed to counter antifa

Antifa attacked senators and their families. So their leader took pictures with one senator, and a bunch of people on the right. Yeah, a group like that is never a danger, yet Biden left antifa and labelled them terrorists group while it was antifa burning an entire street, attacking government buildings and police station.
Exactly. Proud Boys were demonized by the democrat and media. Anti antifa ( Product of Two negatives is s positive) makes Proud Boys fascists
