White House Action Plan

Posobiec, Kirk’s frequent co-host on his podcast and a regular speaker at TPUSA events, was one of the key instigators of Pizzagate in 2017. His career started to really take off when Alex Jones started having him on his show. Doing politics the right way.

Quick, burn all your Antifa membership cards. I'm havin' Pete climb the tree and take the clubhouse down. And don't do the secret handshake in public and whatnot!

The last two decades.

lot of people been posting this one but here’s my post of it with my name correct. okie doke

It never fails. The base warns them against an action that will have a very specific outcome, they ignore the base, they witness the outcome they were warned against, and then turn around and attack the base for not preventing this thing from happening.

He was the populist anti-establishment choice. The actual Democratic base warned against him and had endorsed candidates more progressive than him. The new rule should be to own your mistakes.

It’s incredibly frustrating to constantly have to remind these privileged goobers that they’re not the base and the actual base warned them about this and countless other red flags only to get blamed for the outcome.

Boorman’s commentary track is worth a listen. He gives details on the making of, and discusses ideas that interested him at the time, and even laughs at himself and his audacity in a couple of moments.

I’m usually “oh, I haven’t heard this song in a while, what’s it called?” and then instantly forget it until the next time it comes on.

Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns · 12h I respect @ezraklein a lot, but this is dead wrong and frankly a baffling thing to say. Charlie Kirk was the *epitome* of our modern brand of poisonous politics. Ezra tries to make the point that he went around to college campuses to debate people. And that's true, for a very tortured version of the word 'debate'. But Charlie Kirk was not trying to build bridges. He was not trying to reach a common understanding with his opponents in the way that Ezra himself does. He was not operating in good faith, and his goal was not respectful two-way conversations where both sides can grow and change. Kirk's goal at his college 'debates' was not to find experts on tricky issues of culture and policy and then have a Socratic dialogues and learn from them. His goal was to find a purple haired nineteen year-old sociology major with more feelings than sense, and then dunk on them. He wanted to farm clips he could use on social media to make his opponents look ridiculous, and he was good at it. When I think about how social media has changed politics for the worse, Charlie Kirk and his style of engagement is one of the main protagonists. We live in a heavily polarized era where the parties hate each other more than they have in decades and political violence is on the rise. And while it might be distasteful to say it directly after he was murdered, Kirk was one of the people driving that hatred and that polarization. He taught his audiences to hate and fear their opponents. He egged on the public's worst and basest instincts. He flirted heavily and repeatedly with the idea of political violence. It should obviously be said that none of that justifies killing him. Anyone who advocates for political violence is no friend or ally of mine. But for a man who wrote a book called "Why We're Polarized" to look at Charlie Kirk and say that he practiced politics the right way is delusional.

For those asking themselves why it's delusional for a liberal like Ezra Klein to venerate him on liberal terms.

"To catch a killer we have to...uh...probably...I guess...uh...guys, can you help me out here I have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to do."

If anyone is "celebrating" Kirk's death, it's Trump and his people. They are already using it as pretext for achieving their goal of stripping people's rights, crushing dissent. Your opinion about Kirk could be a criminal offense. If you don't want to run afoul of the law, change your opinion.

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Opinion | Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression.

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Kirk received $1.25 million from a billionaire supermarket heiress to arrange bus transportation for people to attend Trump’s January 6, 2021 rally in DC devoted to overturning the results of the election he lost.

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

“The FBI is investigating” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it since Trump fired experienced officials and installed incompetent lackeys like Kash Patel.

In the interest of transparency, Kash is really bad at his job.

Charlie Kirk wasn't from New York. He didn't live in New York. The shooting didn't happen in New York.

In July he Tweeted "Was just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong."

Why did the New York Yankees have a moment of silence for him?

Agree with Charlie Kirk, or disagree with Charlie Kirk, nobody can deny that if you agreed with him there was something seriously the fuck wrong with you.

So twice they've now claimed they caught the shooter only to backtrack and say they had the wrong person? Twice?

Really inspiring confidence.

Certain folks are posting clips of Charlie Kirk that reveal in no uncertain terms exactly what he said, what he did, and what kind of person he actually was. For God's sake, people, the man just died, show some respect.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Nick Fuentes hated him too and stirred up a lot of hatred to get his people to show up at TPUSA events to heckle him for being anti-white.

I know jumping to politically-advantageous conclusions is just what we do now, but its still striking how many right wing folks have immediately jumped to "violent leftist," as if there hasn't been a sustained, decadelong hate campaign against Charlie Kirk from those to his right.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.
