Does this mean you sympathize with the elimination of the martyr Kirk? Please outline the "extreme" positions taught by Kirk that so offends you. You did not provide the reference for ADL and their reasons. Also provide sourcing for all of Kirk's teachings, both on college campuses and elsewhere. Much appreciated!

Tyler was fully versed in Antifa radical speech. So yes, he pretty much a lefty wannabe. He probably had to struggle against the teachings of his parents.

It is better to maintain minimum standards to some degree. Otherwise there is the potential for ever increasing levels of brute intolerance and bigotry among the liquored-up crowds that could lead to rioting or heaven forbid a lynching. That has been the case among fervent soccer fans in Europe. One video I will never forget showed a British hooligan with a screwdriver running down the stand and stabbing the "enemy" fan.

When I first saw the news, it brought to mind the various church shootings that occurred in Colorado for the last several years, a few of them were fortunate in having trained people with side arms able to stop the perpetrators rather promptly. Will the LDS church resort to using such people? Probably not, I think it will be years in the future as general societal violence keep increasing.

It was early this morning during my study on my gospel library app when I found the news on the HOME page. Interestingly the obit stated that the succession will NOT be formalized this week?

Tyler Robinson is a homosexual co-inhabiting with a man who claims to be transgendered. Just imagine the two getting themselves worked-up to a feverish pitch with their continual consumption of leftist propaganda with their vile and violent hate speech against conservatives and patriots and traditionalists. It looks like the partner is making "himself" scarce so "he" won't have to deal with the crush of reporters. In the wise words of @Stargazer found in his signature block: "Advocating for the punching of Nazis is in principle no different from shooting Charlie Kirk because you believe he was a homophobe, transphobe, fascist, racist, sexist, or some other -ist. He was none of those things, but because elements of one side decided to label him as such, it gave license to a "true believer" to eliminate him. Christ said love your enemies, not punch them." @The Nehor seriously needs to repent for advocating the punching of anyone. Especially if they are unjustly "mislabeled".

Never as I only attended Utah State Univ and graduated with a degree in math and comp sci. What kind of point are you trying make? You have defeated your OWN argument. Since Lisa is white, she would have had to work hard along with other "normal" students. I would consider her to have the same caliber and quality as Dallin H Oaks. These days it seems female students are out-numbering male students (without needing DEI pass throughs). Students enter the DEI lubricated path if they present sufficient "victim hood" status. 90% of universities and colleges have multiple aggressive DEI services and departments. Even east Asians have a tougher time gaining admission due to the glut of DEI enrollments. AOC is the poster child of DEI entitlements. She attended Columbia Univ majoring in economics but her "real world" understanding and wisdom of economics is abysmally shallow, having been heavily indoctrinated in communism and socialism and social justice lathered with a heavy dose of "hate America" propaganda. It is frightful how the Biden administration were pushing DEI candidates into critical positions such as policing, fire fighting, air traffic controllers, etc. It is downright dangerous!

They were DEI every step of the way . . . their public pronouncements were very embarrassing . . .

There is a difference but legal consequences are still on the table for making threats of violence. Isn't it ironic that Antifa claim to be Anti-fascist but behave in a very thuggish manner? That BLM rioters can burn cities and destroy businesses with democrat municipalities soft pedaling on bringing the rioting under control. When George Floyd expired due to clumsy police handling, cities burned. When Kirk was assassinated, conservatives and civil libertarians held prayer services and candle light vigils. They certainly are NOT the same. This is why Trump was forced to call out the California national guard. He knew that Governor Newsom was willing to allow rioting against ICE as a desirable political statement. The Washington national guard is doing an awesome job for bringing much greater peace for the residents of the District of Columbia. The crime rate has plummeted!

It is looking like there will be a stronger legal distinction between criticisms and violent threats. Nehor's signature statement: "always be punching nazis" is toxic and corrosive. This kind of language has led to Riley Gaines being assaulted by campus radicals. It was NOT right for her to be demonized so vituperatively by the LEFT simply for defending Title IX rights for women to have a "league of their own" without the unfair abuse of transwomen. @Raingirl was deeply wrong to use absolutist terms like fascist that now has lost meaning in the national dialogue. US Attorney General issued this statement - - - Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime. For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over. Under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), it is a federal crime to transmit “any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.” Likewise, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and 18 U.S.C. § 115 make it a felony to threaten public officials, members of Congress, or their families. You cannot call for someone’s murder. You cannot swat a Member of Congress. You cannot dox a conservative family and think it will be brushed off as “free speech.” These acts are punishable crimes, and every single threat will be met with the full force of the law. Free speech protects ideas, debate, even dissent but it does NOT and will NEVER protect violence. It is clear this violent rhetoric is designed to silence others from voicing conservative ideals. We will never be silenced. Not for our families, not for our freedoms, and never for Charlie. His legacy will not be erased by fear or intimidation.

An interesting item from the New York Post - - - "Before being shot Wednesday, Kirk was being questioned by Hunter Kozak, a far left TikToker, who asked the conservative pundit about mass shootings involving transgender people. "The two argued back and forth over the topic shortly before the shots were fired, killing Kirk, while Kozak was standing nearby. Kozak on Thursday posted a somber video on X, saying he still opposes many of Kirk’s conservative views but expressing condolences to Kirk’s family. “It’s a tragedy,” said a teary-eyed Kozak. “People have obviously pointed to the irony that the point I was trying to make is how peaceful the left was – right before he got shot – and that only makes sense if we stay peaceful.”

South Koreans and other nations appreciate how gracious Kirk is. The world understands that wokism tactic is to resort to extreme name-calling when the LEFT lose the debate. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/09/13/we-are-charlie-kirk-south-koreans-take-to-the-streets-in-global-show-of-support-n2663301

This is a slam dunk. Charlie Kirk is VERY widely and deeply appreciated in this country and AROUND the world. His work was profound in a gracious way. Duncan is simply being absolutist ridiculous.

I would agree. This was where the First Estate started. The spiritual earth (the sentient consciousness of Gaia or whatever it might be called) was also organized in the same location. Along with uncountable spiritual earths. With all the spirit children residing thereon and rejoicing in the Presence of Heavenly Parents. When the Great Plan of Happiness was presented then approved by the vote of the majority of spirit children, all these earths were transported to the Terrestrial Realm where they were cladded with physical planets in preparation for the implementation of the Second Estate. It was in the state of paradise with NO deaths among all the physical creatures. After the respective Adams/Eves made the correct choice for partaking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Fall occurred and all the earths were again transported. This time to the Telestial Realm. The race of mortal humans sprung forth being subjected to travails and challenges of a fallen world and also becoming subject to physical death along with spiritual death. At the Second Coming of our Lord, the earth will be burned and transformed BACK to the Terrestrial State where there will again be NO deaths among the inhabitants. This is the paradise of the Millennium located in the Terrestrial Realm. At the end of the Millennium (after the battle of Gog and Magog), the earth will be burned again (with even more fervent heat) and be transported BACK to the Celestial Realm. I believe we ALL had to prove ourselves numerous times in many stages in many locations. We had to make choices as intelligences before the First Estate to agree to become spirit children of Heavenly Parents. We acquired new knowledge and new experiences as we grew and progressed as we were being taught by Heavenly Parents. Remember how Lucifer was among the exalted ones, rubbing shoulders with Jehovah, Michael, Gabriel, etc. But he became prideful and sought to take the place of God, demanding he be given greater glory over the Father. But our progress plateaued and we still needed further progress to become like our Heavenly Parents. So God presented the Plan of Happiness. The third part of the host aligned with Lucifer because they believed his argument that it is only fair for EVERYBODY to have "cookie-cutter" equality of outcomes (communist doctrine). Whereas the Father and the Son provided freedom of choice (agency) thru equality of opportunities. Lucifer and his host were then condemned to remain spirit beings without gaining physical bodies and cast out of Heaven (the Presence of God). It is interesting how Cain was able to talk with God but he became familiar with Satan and grew to love Satan MORE than God. Cain failed this test miserably. He regretted the consequences but apparently remained unrepentant. Even in the Millennium, children will NOT always be loyal. Some will eventually join with Satan in the battle of Gog and Magog.

I wonder how the bandit entered the home. Did he break in or ring the doorbell then barge in? Might have been useful to have installed a doorbell camera? Sometimes the spirit provides warnings? Sometimes the Lord allows tribulations to occur in order for certain outcomes to provide greater blessings?

I am a regular on chess.com. It has introductory courses and you can play games with randomly selected players around the world. There are many features that are very helpful and do not cost. It uses the ranking system that will match players to your skill level.

You sound agitated. Correction - - - missionary: Our church publishes the Book of Mormon. Our prophet is teaching the members to use the formal name of the church more consistently. It is more likely our youthful missionaries do have the presence of mind to NOT fall into the mistake of replying with a "no sir" but to offer a gentle clarification. Going overboard with your agitation?

I am regularly banned. The last time finally resulted in me being "limited" which means I cannot rep other people and they cannot rep me.

He is more conservative than you. How does that work? I had no idea what it was so I queried chatGPT (see below). What I do know for sure is that T45 learned a huge amount from his first term. Had another 4 years to battle insane "lawfare" and begin to plan intensely for T47. It has been a TERRIFIC and overwhelming six months for his second term. The LEFT has a serious case of collective NOSE-BLEED.

Hopefully this will NOT lead to re-hashing the 70's ERA (Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution) that would have led to grievous distortions of society in general and the nuclear family in particular. Hopefully the emphasis will be on the complementary benefits and the strong reinforcements that does occur between the man and the woman. Hopefully the discussions will NOT drift into wokist insistence on all things "equitable" - - - here is a chatGPT perspective:
