The Presidential Medal of Freedom for Charlie Kirk came on what would have been his 32nd birthday. President Trump walked Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, out to the Rose Garden to present the award, as the crowd full of the president’s Cabinet, members of Congress and friends of Kirk looked on.
Last month, the House and Senate approved a resolution making Oct. 14 a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
.
“I can say with confidence Mr. President, you have given him the best birthday gift he could ever have,” Erika Kirk said in her remarks.
“To live free is the greatest gift. To die free is the greatest victory.”
Powerful truth right there.
What a lovely ceremony, held in such a lovely space. Our President is the most gracious man. This was a genuine and beautiful tribute to Mr. Kirk
What a moving speech she gave her husband as a birthday present!
Tremendous, spiritual speech. I’ve looked at comments on NYpost – some cast Mrs Kirk as though she is acting – they could not be more wrong and I see that as stemming from their own failings. I did not know much about this young man Charle at all as an outsider – in our country we have a despicable mainstream media with a lock on what what people see such that newsprint, radio and TV are unreadable, unlistenable and unwatchable. But I know after seeing this he is the kind of person that made the USA respected and incredible.
This young lady renewed my faith in that USA and undoubtedly why so many other countries look up to it because freedom and God together are foundational.
God bless America and deliver it from evil.
Anyone stupid enough to in anyway criticize her doesn’t know grief. You can’t fake a broken voice and tears mid sentence if you’re not speaking from the heart and attempting to convey your thoughts. Nobody is that good of an actor. She’s as real, genuine, humble and graceful as there is.
Perhaps you are commenting from Canada. My sister there is totally ‘off’ in her comments to me about PJDT… no relationship at all to the Truth as to what is happening here.
An exemplary and short life.
Any news on the investigation, and will we EVER know much more of what happened?
Nope.
He has been silenced so mission accomplished.
Same as the Trump attempted assassination – Where is the investigation of that? Deafening silence. This will be the same.
No ballistics report and no way on Gods green earth that projectile traveling over 2400 fps or faster depending on manufacturer and with over 2300 ft pounds of force was stopped by human bone and stuck in his neck.
Just like everything else that happens it all gets swept under the rug and disappears which speaks volumes
Yup; ever seen a 30-06 round strike a target?
No shortage of videos on Youtube but common sense is out the window these days.
Unless Grandpa’s old rifle was stored with old ammo.
Before I jump to conspiracy, I consider low-percentage, but real, possibilities.
Old, damp ammo can squib to the point where it doesn’t make it out of the barrel.
A key finding would be an estimate as to how old the casing(s) was/were. That should be public information, yeah. And was he at the range shooting range ammo, or Grandpa’s ammo?
Truth can be stranger than fiction. Just sayin’.
David Crooks had an “autopsy”, but it was far from complete.
His body was left on a hot metal roof, in the blistering July sun, for 12 hours, degrading tissue and fluid samples. And then the roof was promptly hosed off, washing away all the blood and brain splatter that should have been bagged. Recall this roof was deemed “too steep to climb” by the DEI female head of Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle.
If you want to shop coroners, you can move the body to a different county. This was done in Crooks case. Tox screens were done, but they did not include screens for SSRIs, or other psych pharma. If you don’t ask for a complete tox screen, you won’t get it. Hair and bile analysis, IF they were even done, are not listed.
The coroner did not even bother to extract bullet fragments from Crooks’ shoulder, let alone ID them. Did they match the bullet(s) which blew a good chunk of Crooks’ head off? We’ll never know, as he was cremated within DAYS of death.
Of course, when Crooks (patsy) was tasked with the assassination of Trump, Biden’s Autopen was still in charge. Now with a new sheriff in town, we would expect/hope for a more thorough investigation into Charlie’s assassination.
Still waiting on the ballistics reports. Did they line up with the planted Mauser?
Waiting, waiting…

I’m getting really bad vibes from Kirk’s wife.
I’m getting really bad vibes from you!
Sounds like a personal problem. Perhaps you can find a quiet corner in which to contemplate your troubled mind.
Have a cookie and forget you ever saw my post, people pointing out reality make you uncomfortable.
The best birthday for Charlie would be he was alive to enjoy it.
Hey Treepers, I just baked some chocolate chip cookies! Help yourselves. 🍪🍪🍪
GSD doesn’t get any. I forgot his post.
I don’t get bad vibes from her in the slightest. I am quite sure some people that recoiled about her deeply heartfelt love for Christ will have “vibes”. They may express that in gaslighting and dogwhistling. Sometimes in a certain place in the world they spit on Christians. Imagine losing your soul partner, delivering this outstanding speech and having devilment spread in the commentariat.
Lots of people follow Jordon Peterson and think he is the best thing since sliced bread.
Time has proven he is an utter charlatan, drug addict and anti-Christian.
It’s a difficult position to be in when you tell people to “have discernment” because red flags are present. It’s not a matter of ignoring the person but simply observing them to see if any others crop up. I see people already promoting this woman to RUN FOR PRESIDENT. Please tell me what qualifications does she hold to be elected to this office? There is more here than meets the eye and it would be wise to keep an open mind.
Our population tends to be a bit silly at times. Just because somebody does a good deed or whatever is enough for them to support the person to be president. Anybody can do a good deed but that alone does not qualify them to be president of the U.S.
Go to your safe space, troll
Thanks for the laugh; hardly a troll considering how little I post because so few have discernment these days.
You used a semi-colon, but forgot the rest of the punctuation. That says something, though I am not sure what.
I understand many won’t agree, but my gut screams whenever I see her perform that something is very off. Initially I felt so bad for her, & of course the children. But when you put that emotion aside… I’m not comfortable pretending I can’t see the many red flags she gives off.
*So this is for the ones who can’t shake that nagging feeling.
She’s either a terrible actress, or the most disingenuous person I’ve ever seen on a screen. Everything she does looks scripted, down to the cued pauses & methodic dabbing of dry eyes (not just this latest display).
I’d like to say what we saw happen to Charlie was fake/cgi– and then this could explain her lack of social norms & cringe worthy performances.
Bc on the other side of it… she’s either a psychopath level crazy, or just a heartless narcissist.
Recently saw a clip of her talking about when they first met. She applied for a position at TPUSA & they had a dinner interview. After 2 1/2 hours it ended well. Charlie tells her, “I’m not going to hire you.” And instead, “I’m going to date you.” I detected a hint of her being insulted in retelling this. He tells her to think about it & let him know. Couple days later he invites her on a work trip to HI, & the rest is supposedly history.
I also saw a clip where Candace Owens was talking about how Charlie was with her when she met her future hub in the UK. She’d confided in him she thought she’d marry him. He said to her, “are you sure that would be good for your brand?” Candace was retelling this in a fond way, but that’s a really strange thing to say imho.
However when you combine these two very telling scenarios… it’s odd. Erika was clearly a career driven type from her early resume. I can see that type of woman becoming resentful of a husband that believed in more traditional roles & thus stalling her personal ambitions.
Then again, who’s to say their relationship was even real. Never heard of her until after. Then there’s suddenly all these stories & clips of their storybook relationship everywhere, & her in the spotlight every chance she from day 2. It’s weird & sets off alarm bells.
Her 2 videos at his coffin were beyond creepy! Who with any respectable sense during such an intimate moment of goodbye, thinks to have somebody film it & then immediately post it on the internet!?
Never mind the countless holes in the accepted narrative of the shooting. It just all stinks to high heaven.
Sure, Jan.
I’m not exactly a committed Christian owing to my many faults, though I was raised right. You do not speak to me. This woman speaks to the essence of being Christian. I can only see you as opposed to the message and you should understand this person is speaking continuously from the heart in their darkest time.
I want to pray, but also unlike the very committed, I see you in a different way. I don’t like you.
I’m not a p00fter in case anyone is trying to make me out as a POI. All of us knows the cm-tx needs to be addressed. Preferably designated.
Name dropping Candace O was your tell, doofus. The rest of your screed suffers accordingly.
You are as bad at this as the other sock puppets, lol.
Candace Owens—a low IQ nut case, speaking to an audience of like minded fellow travelers.
For a second there I thought you were describing Pam Bondo.
Never ignore your gut instincts. Wont say too much here because as you can see, the feels run way too deep on this one. Better to turn the TV off and stay grounded.
However I must say, I Haven’t seen this kind of reaction since George Floyd caused members of Congress and politicians around the world to kneel in solidarity.
My mother lost her husband, my father, suddenly and unexpectedly. She was crushed, but knew she had to maintain a superhuman bravery and composure as she had 6 children to raise through their formative years. 17 months later my younger brother and 2 others innocents were killed by a drunk driver. I did not fully comprehend and appreciate what my mother had to endure until I married and was blessed with children of my own.
My point, it is easy to judge but impossible to fathom.
“it is easy to judge but impossible to fathom”
Painfully accurate
The mystery of Jesus Christ, who was PERFECTLY obedient and in PERFECT submission is what we are seeing on display. It’s the inverse of our fleshly desire to live by the World. Without obedience, we cannot see the blessings of Gods grace during suffering. Jesus was the standard at the cross. Erika is displaying that we are most content when we are most obedient to the master. This isn’t an act… Charlie DIED a Martyr. Sacrificing his life for Truth. Obedience. FAITH. And as leader of the home, Erica would be purified through their
Covenant of Marriage. Her actions are not a surprise when viewed thru the lens of biblical Truth. They would be a surprise to the blind.
Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr.
Charlie Kirk was viciously murdered because he adequately heralded Biblical truths in public arena’s.
Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr.
✝️
Erika Kirk is amazing.
It’s near impossible to place yourself in her shoes. She is no ordinary woman and her words are testament to her abilities. Such a contrast to the murderer.
Such a contrast to the demon possessed naysayers
A tribute to what the faith encompassed by a tiny mustard seed, as encompassed in Charlie’s heart, may accomplish. May the many seeds that were sown as a result be watered with the Flowing Water and grow in Faith and Love.
So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Luke 17:6
😥 so true
I’m sorry this video stopped at the end of Erika’s remarks.
Ater, as the assembled were milling about to the strains of a lovely quartet of strings in the background, and President Trump was speaking to various guests, he moved to speak to a couple who were seated quietly in the front row far away from the podium.
I learned that they were Charlie’s parents…she who bore Charlie and both who reared Charlie to be the powerful inspiration that he came to be. And both who have stayed away from the public eye, bearing their terrible bereavement privately.
I couldn’t see their faces, nor much of his as he spoke with them for some time. But I could see from his eyes that there was deeply felt sympathy and empathy being communicated to them from a man who has known grief himself.
There are those who ridicule or complain about President Trump’s tone and manner of speaking…his brash use of language and the delivery of it. But in private in conversations with those who have suffered personal losses, many have said that he has brought such comfort to them when it was very much needed.
That man is not seen day to day as he attempts to right the terrible wrongs done to our America and the world by people who are incapable of such human emotions.
Yesterday I got a small glimpse of his heart.
And I will be honest in saying that I became suddenly tearful…a moment I shall never forget.
And so grateful that such a man as Donald John Trump was there by the grace and mercies of Almighty God for Charlie’s parents, whose own grievous loss seems to have been forgotten.
What was this string quartet playing as I watched their interaction?
Amazing Grace…yes, how great Thou art 🙏🏻
“Freedom is not a theory, it’s a testimony.
Every single day the Trump Administration will continue to carry out the mission for which Charlie Kirk lived.
For Charlie. ❤️”
https://truthsocial.com/@WhiteHouse/115375511151051697
Charlie’s assignment was to tell the historical truth about the Gospel and the founding of this nation.
Is the government really going to do that?
“The blessings of liberty are not man’s invention but God’s endowment.”
This is one of the many excellent points made in this speech. They truly are sacred promises and to hell for the power mongers that incite deception on us.
Some people in the comments need Jesus. Please ask and you shall receive. This woman is a widow with children to care for. She loved her husband and is doing the best she can to keep it together while holding on to her faith. Have some grace will ya? Good grief.
Is the 10/14 Remembrance Day permanent annually, or is it only for 2025 ?
In the SD linked video, with fortitude and humility
Erika Kirk clarified very well about the
responsibility and accountabilty that goes along with our freedom of expression
( USA 1st Amendment to the USA constitution ) !!!
p.s.
To wit, foreign visas in the U.S.
to be withdrawn from foreigners that celebrate an assassination:

Love thy neighbors…
This was a beautiful ceremony, and a wonderful statement of faith in Jesus Christ.
It’s not appropriate at all to speculate on body language and hidden motives during this time. None of us has the wisdom to accurately assess any of that. All such speculation is nothing but noise.
It IS appropriate to celebrate the life of Charlie Kirk, to give thanks to God for Charlie’s mission on this earth, to pray for Erika Kirk and her children, to pray for TPUSA’s mission, and to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world.
Jeremiah 17:9-10
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.”
And TPUSA (Kirk etal) expresses with action to others,
the Good News of Jesus Christ (whom was Jewish, and a Son of God, and became a Holy Spirit)
avoids others tempting Turning Point to endorse, or be named by,
any of the many human named denominations.
Easier said, than done.
The bigger pivot point / turning point mission is to accept as truth and to come to understand the Lords messaging and wisdom,
sharing it, plus equally listening to other people (Freedom of Expression)
that may, or may not, have been caught up (knowingly, or not)
in a devious, multi-pronged 60 year + secular culture war
(an untold culture war that seems to promote non reason, hoaxes, and / or evils in various forms
including propaganda and /or fake science that untold miss treats people
like people are conscious less test animals
in the Pavlovs’ dog (ring bell, food, salivating) experiment.)
Only God knows how,
but, most honest People have conscience and souls.
(A I software can not be designed by humans to have a soul )
imho
Love thy neighbors…
Thank God and the USA for Donald Trump is these wicked times where media is in the hands of certain people that have a very different reason for existence
Blessings to All!🙏🏻🙏🏻😇
Wonderful, touching ceremony. Charlie Kirk’s worth is not in money but devotion.
President Trump was understandingly a little tired, rambled a little but was a good “grandfather” to Erika.
Erika is a very good speaker, made great memorable remarks, and has a pleasant voice.
All while going through a horrendous time.
Yeah…..
Trump45/47 was rambling…..
a little……again……

Derrick Evans, “After watching what happened to Charlie Kirk, this is the video I want to remember instead.”
Sorry I couldn’t get the video to show up instead of just the link.
written on his t-shirt… FREEDOM …
where are his parents? haven’t seen nor heard from them during this ordeal? …strikes me as strange
They were there. Prefer to stay in background. Grieving. Your name is fitting 👿
And your words are telling. I was just thinking which would be the most unbearable grief – that of a spouse or that of the mother and father. I would be very reluctant to share my thoughts about this on this forum except to say that one can always find another spouse. The same cannot be said of the mother and father. And yet they are not even mentioned by the ones who should be mentioning them. At least President Trump sought them out.
“…And yet they are not even mentioned by the ones who should be mentioning them. At least President Trump sought them out.” — Izakly!
warrantless assumption about me
Trump pointed them out at the ceremony. They were in the front row. He also commented that they were very private and did not want the spotlight.
What’s so strange about that?
hadn’t watched the full video yet, I will. ‘Joan’ said it best! (above)
So … I will ask another uncomfortable question that has bothered me – alot!
Why wasn’t Melania at the Tribute on Sunday 9/21 in Arizona? My thanks to anyone who can answer that Q.
“Why wasn’t Melania at the Tribute on Sunday 9/21 in Arizona?” – nobody likes that question, hmmm
In her speech, Erica mentioned that their little boy, 16 months old, is not yet speaking. Of all the remarks made during the ceremony, I found that to be the most poignant. Gut-wrenching.
Dear God, please look after Charlie’s precious young family.
Amen.
I do not catch Mr. Rubio smiling much. Perhaps overloaded with work?
Rubio was told he now has another job, assigned to Head Coach Penn State football (‘X’ post of the week!)
And our FBI has still only arrested one supposedly lone wolf gunman. What a joke.
wellll, they Are protecting him from the next Jack Ruby – so far, so good
…and the jail bird has not chirped?
how would we know if he has or hasn’t?
The one who confessed in writing, and in person to his own father, turned himself in, and left DNA evidence all over the crime scene, weapon, ammo, while appearing on video in the sniper’s nest with the gun.
Other than that…
[And just when I thought I was out of tears … Erika Strikes Again.]
The GloboHomo Deep State determined that they’d better take out a future MAGA POTUS before he was old enough to even run for that office.
/Possibly hyperbolic, but that’s my belief and I’m schticking to it …
