Erika Kirk shared a speech at Hillsdale College for its 174th graduation ceremony, on Saturday, May 9, 2026. She has had quite a year, since her husband Charlie was shot and killed by a deranged young man. Erika is quite treasured by many in the conservative community, as she stepped into a role that was created by Charlie's absence. I do not think she intended in any way to be in this role, especially as a young mother of two, and would likely have preferred to be Charlie's wife and “helpmeet,” as the Bible says. But here she is. 

She spoke with wisdom and grace and compassion, with a seeming thankful heart, about truth and commitment, faith, life, family, learning, and dedication to liberty. Especially concerning her beloved husband, Charlie, she spoke with fond memories and adoration.

There are many who have much animosity and even hatred for Erika Kirk, sharing such horrific accusations and gossip through the bowels of the Internet. It's a shame. 

This whole event and her speech remind me of a passage in the New Testament, found in the small book of Philippians, chapter 4, verses 4-9.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

There is such filth and degradation in the world today, with language that used to be rarely heard among the most coarse and lowest class of citizens now being freely spoken by even young school children and in refined professions. There is such a loss of respect, both for ourselves and for others, that is reflected in the behavior and language of so many. It is no wonder that abortion is so prevalent. Respect for life itself is at stake. 

Treasure life, and count your blessings. As the Army advertisement said, “Be all that you can be!” It is so much more appropriate concerning a life found in Christ Jesus, than in the military service to our country, as noble as that might be. 

God bless you!

The recent death of media mogul Ted Turner brought out the accolades for the creator of the first cable news network, aptly titled “CNN.” Thanks to his efforts, from the early 1980s to the present we’ve had access to 24/7 news coverage. There are obvious benefits to the round-the-clock approach these days, since things move at a much faster pace in the 21^st century than in times past. However, the need to fill up a lot of otherwise “dead” space with something provocative has made for a legion of pundits telling very different stories about the same incidents or issues. This leaves the viewing public in confusion, oftentimes wondering how to sort out the “real truth” from the hyperbole or downright falsehoods.

Los Angeles is a broken city, facing huge problems made worse by corrupt politicians. It is overrun by homelessness, crime, blight, and the horrifying aftermath of the 2025 Palisades fire.

In several weeks, Los Angeles voters will elect a new Mayor. One candidate, former reality television star Spencer Pratt, is making a huge splash. He was previously known for his starring role on the MTV show The Hills from 2006 to 2010.  

A convert to MAGA and a “revert” to the Catholic Church, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s trip to Italy and the Vatican this week is a great opportunity to set the record straight about Iran and world events to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Pope Leo. Both figures were sold to Americans as “conservatives,” but they are anything but that.  

Today, let's explore Five Laws Everyone Should Know for better lives that unleash our capacity by increasing our competency. Then I’m going to add a sixth law that I thought of.  

During this special year, the 250th anniversary of the United States, let us recognize how President Trump, like our third president, Thomas Jefferson, safeguarded our great nation from a Muslim terrorist regime’s aggression, even if the Daily Mail can’t or won’t recognize that fact.

A tree grows in Jeffries' Brooklyn. As usual, the Democrats accuse the Republicans of what the Democrats were doing themselves.
