Some have accused Erika Kirk of using forgiveness as a political tool, but anyone who actually listened to her statements knows her words came from faith, not hatred.

Forgiveness doesn’t erase grief or justice — it simply refuses to let bitterness take over the heart. Do you really think a woman mourning her husband would fake forgiveness just to ‘get back’ at anyone?


I personally think Erika Kirk’s decision to forgive her husband’s killer isn’t about politics or pretending — it’s about faith. In her own words, she said that forgiveness was the only way to keep hate from taking root in her heart, and that Charlie would have wanted her to lead with grace, not vengeance. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what happened; it’s a declaration that evil doesn’t get the final word. She chose to honor her husband by living the values he believed in — courage, conviction, and mercy — even toward someone who didn’t deserve it. Condemning the faith of a grieving widow doesn’t prove moral strength — it reveals a heart hardened by anger. Forgiveness isn’t a political act; it’s an act of obedience and love. Erika’s response reminds us that faith can transform suffering into a testimony of grace.

At the end of the day, forgiveness reveals the condition of our hearts — whether we’re ruled by anger or guided by grace.

My take: If you can get FOX & MSNBC to agree in solidarity, then you MUST be wrong Pete.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has imposed new restrictive conditions on media access to the Pentagon, requiring reporters to commit to not acquiring or using any unauthorized information, whether classified or unclassified. Journalists must sign an agreement to this effect or risk losing their press credentials and physical access to the Pentagon. This policy also restricts reporters' movements within the Pentagon, banning access to large areas without official escorts and relocating dedicated workspace for news organizations to undisclosed locations, making it harder for reporters to interact with military personnel. Hegseth's policy demands that any information reported must be preauthorized for release by Pentagon officials, effectively granting the Pentagon editorial control over what journalists can publish. This move has been widely criticized by the Pentagon Press Association and major news outlets—including ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, Fox News, The New York Times, and many others—who see it as a violation of First Amendment rights and an unprecedented attack on press freedom. Almost all media organizations have refused to sign the new rules, and many reporters have turned in their Pentagon press passes in protest.Hegseth defends the restrictions as common-sense measures to safeguard classified information and maintain order, but critics argue this escalates censorship and stifles transparency regarding military affairs. The policy also moves the Pentagon press corps toward an unprecedented absence of mainstream news coverage inside the Pentagon, breaking a tradition that had lasted since the Eisenhower era. Only one right-wing outlet, One America News, has agreed to the new conditions, while nearly all others stand in solidarity against them

NYT today:

American Jews, long Israel’s strongest domestic backers, have turned sharply critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government over the Gaza conflict. A majority believe Israel has committed war crimes as it has killed tens of thousands of civilians and restricted food aid, and four in 10 believe it is guilty of genocide, a new Washington Post survey found — a charge Israel denies. The shift has created new incentives for even moderate Democrats in Congress to get tough on Israel, including by curtailing U. S. military aid.

The damage is also increasingly bipartisan. Despite Republican efforts to identify their party with Israel and to tag Democrats as providing aid and comfort to its enemies, younger evangelical Christians are breaking with their parents on the issue, seeing Israel as an oppressor rather than as a victim. And the breakup extends beyond evangelicals. "Everybody under 30 is against Israel,” the conservative commentator Megyn Kelly offhandedly told Tucker Carlson on his podcast last month.

The question is whether those younger Americans will be lost to Israel long-term — and what Israel’s advocates will do to try to reverse that. Israel’s dependence on U. S. support had become so glaring over the course of the war — in political, military and economic terms — that Israel would be motivated to treat its possible defeat in the court of American public opinion as an “existential threat.”
