The tragic loss of a visionary keen on conservative policy-making and inspiration of faith to many. Let your life and actions reflect your faith, becoming a beacon of hope and encouraging others to live with joy and kindness. A shared faith can strengthen connections, turning conflict into opportunities for understanding and forgiveness within relationships.
In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination on the campus of Utah Valley University 800 W University Pkwy, Orem, UT 84058 I have spent several hours of watching media analysis and commentary who are so misinformed and uneducated trying to articuate a tragic situation. Let’s first say that transgenderism is a mental health illness and dangerous affliction, no debating this in the public forum. The suspect Tyler Robinson was most likely going through his own inner personal identity crisis of being a homosexual engaged in a relationship with a transitioning male-to-female individual.
I’m not going to spend time telling you what security failures were identified because that isn’t going to bring Charlie Kirk back I’m going to educate the so called security experts and law enforcement agencies using this tragedy as use case example number one. First and foremost a 12 year old could have been successful in this assassination. A young 12 year old who has had two full hunting seasons of experience under their belt given these circumstances has high percentage of success. An elevated location in a prone position with clear line of sight whether using a .30-06 (30 OTT Six), .308 or 35 Marlin Carbine all with a aligned sighted scope with no type of weather detriments such as wind gusts, changing wind patterns, and calm conditions because the buildings acted as a buffer from those potential wind conditions along with a full frontal target position and Charlie was unfortunately a “Sitting Duck” and I hate to use that phrase or term but that is exactly what Charlie was.
To give additional context – imagine a hunter sitting or laying at the top of a hill in a open field or pasture and a 10-point buck walking slowly across the field about 200 yards away stopping every few steps and taking a few bites of grass and then raising their head to take a few more steps with no indication of danger in the air. That is exactly what the situation amounts to with the shooting of Charlie Kirk. A lot of media pundits try to make a similar comparison with the Butler, PA and President Trump rally shooting but not even close – had a shooter in an elevated location about 75 yards , and the appearance of Crooks tells you that he was NOT a seasoned or experienced hunter, I guarantee that the rush of adrenaline created shaky and nervous mental capacity, also President Trump presented a side body profile target along with continous movement moving arms and hands along with head moving from side to side and turning of his head and fortunately and God’s intervention this was not successful.
Beyond religion and philosophy, faith can refer to confidence or trust in a person, thing, or concept.
- Trust: This is a core element, as faith often means relying on someone or something even without total certainty. This can apply to a friend’s ability to help you or your confidence in your own skills.
- Loyalty: Faith can also imply fidelity or allegiance to a person, promise, or code of ethics.
- Hope: In contrast to hope, which is future-focused and anticipates something, faith is often described as a present, unwavering trust in what is hoped for.
Across different traditions, faith is not a static state but a practice that requires ongoing effort and action. Ways to strengthen faith often include:
- Daily discipline: Consistent habits like reading scripture, praying, and meditating.
- Community: Engaging with others in a shared belief system, which provides encouragement and support.
- Action: Translating belief into tangible actions. As stated in the Bible (James 2:26), “faith without deeds is dead”.
- Trials and challenges: Faith is tested during difficult times, and overcoming these challenges can lead to spiritual growth and stronger conviction.
