Consider This from NPR - Young Conservatives Are Asking What’s Next For the Movement Charlie Kirk Started

As they try to make sense of his killing, many are also asking what's next for the movement he started.

The Gist - Aaron Sibarium on Charlie Kirk, Retribution, and the Cycle of Violence

Aaron Sibarium of the Washington Free Beacon reflects on his recent full-hour interview with Charlie Kirk, which aired just a week before Kirk’s assassination. He recalls Kirk’s reach across conservative factions and his surprising focus on debate and voter mobilization rather than pure outrage. The conversation widens to the risks of political violence, misperceptions between parties, and how quickly rhetoric escalates online. Plus, a Spiel on what might finally break the cycle of fear hatred and likely recrimination. Produced by Corey Wara

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘4 Horsemen of the Western Civilization Apocalypse’ Have Arrived

Europe, the United States, and other like-minded Western countries are facing four “self-inflicted wounds.”


These “Four Horsemen of the Western Civilization Apocalypse” didn’t arrive overnight.


At the turn of the 20th century, Western elites thought that they could create "heaven on Earth” by moving away from fossil fuels, allowing open borders, and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Results?


Skyrocketing fuel costs, which have in turn destroyed the “ viability of the middle classes that are now in revolt,” millions of unassimilated Islamic refugees, plummeting fertility rates, and the beginnings of tribalism, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
