Who Will Catch the Bloody Bouquet?

When Martin Luther King died, people in his penumbra used his death as a catapult to launch themselves into similarly powerful and lucrative careers. They wanted to replace him, not because they cared about black people, but because he had a really good thing going, and a position someone else worked hard to build was suddenly vacant.

This is how we ended up with Jesse Jackson in our faces for 50 years. A reverend in title only, non-Christian Jackson told all sorts of lies about his closeness to King. He claimed he held King as he died, which was a lie, and he appeared on The Today Show wearing a shirt he claimed was stained with King’s blood.

King was not a Christian, which is strange, since he used the title “Reverend.” He denied essential tenets of Christianity, including the resurrection, without which there is no Christianity. He was a pervert, and he degraded his wife by participating in orgies. One of his best friends said King physically attacked a woman who commented on his mass adultery.

He was not a great guy or any kind of minister, but as a political figure, he was a powerful agent in the battle to see to it minority members’ civil rights were not denied. His accomplishments were 100% political and 0% Christian.

Nonetheless, many people insist he was a great Christian and a valid Christian martyr.

Now we have our own MLK; the late Charlie Kirk. He appears to have been a much better person than King. He didn’t chase or hit women. He wasn’t a closet boozer. He was a very, very serious family man. I have never seen any evidence at all that he was a hypocrite like King.

This is all wonderful. He seems to have been a fantastic human being. I think he was very sincere, although I have been fooled before. He was definitely ambitious and dedicated to self-promotion, but I believe he truly cared about America.

The thing that disappoints me is that he is suddenly being promoted as a new Stephen. A holy man the likes of whom have not been seen since the first century.

Worse, like King, unless I’m mistaken, his memory is being used by morally inferior people to accelerate their own careers. Notably, the notorious antisemites Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.

You can’t be antisemitic and be a good Christian, any more than you can be a socialist and be a good Christian. It is not possible. The New Testament warns us against antisemitism, every one of the Bible’s books is believed to have been written by Jews, and Yeshua himself was, and remains, a Jew.

Owens claims it is not possible to be a Jew and believe in Yeshua, which makes you wonder if she has ever heard of Yeshua, his disciples, Paul, or any of the other Jewish believers named in the Bible. None of them ever renounced Judaism.

She must think Yeshua doesn’t believe in himself.

Owens is pretty smart. She is not “brilliant,” as Megyn Kelly mystifyingly asserts. She’s no Ann Coulter, not that I endorse Coulter. Owens is aggressive and wildly overconfident, and she loves to argue, but she is not a real thinker.

Kelly seems to have a hangup about feminism, so maybe that’s why she imputes brilliance to a woman who does not show any signs of possessing it. Anyway, Owens is smart, but she is also ignorant, and not just a little.

As proof of her shocking ignorance, let me point to her wacky dispute with Bill Maher. Maher told her we know, for a fact, that people walked on the moon, and she expressed doubt.

Anyone can go witness a Spacex launch. Anyone can look up and see satellites. The International Space Station can be seen with binoculars.

Starlink exists, and there are no cables connecting millions of rural homes to it. There are no giant towers hiding in plain sight, shooting Starlink signals to homes. The data comes from outer space. These are indisputable facts. Spacecraft exist.

The moon is not that far away; it’s about 30 earth diameters off, or roughly (roughly, nerds) 250,000 miles. There is no wind resistance in space. It’s not that hard to make an object in space move at an average speed of thousands of miles per hour. We can send things to the moon in a long weekend. If we can send things, we can send people.

She had to ask Maher if more than one person had been to the moon. This is like asking if more than one person has been to New York.

The Washington Post’s motto is “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” I would say this: antisemitism grows in darkness, just like leftism. The more ignorant you are, the more antisemitism appeals to you.

No American over the age of 7 has an excuse for not knowing astronauts went to the moon. What else doesn’t she know?

Owens later claimed she was joking with Maher, but she’s a liar. Watch the video yourself some day. She was dead serious.

Owens is so eccentric, she devotes a huge amount of energy to proving the wife of the Prime Minister of France is a man. She bet Piers Morgan $300,000 she was right. Now she’s being sued by the Macrons, and in order to shake Owens off her ankle, poor Madame Macron is going to have to show a court her private parts.

I hope she can write a check for $300,000 without selling anything or borrowing money, because I don’t think Morgan will let her off the hook.

She says she told Charlie Kirk he was too smart to be a protestant. She chose a religion whose adherents quite literally pray to dead people and statues; a religion known to have created the “saint” cult in order to get pagans to join, and she thinks protestants are dumb.

She has written books. Has she ever read one?

Interesting fact: Charlie Kirk’s denomination, Calvary Chapel, is not a Protestant sect. That’s their official position.

Carlson is just gross. If you look into the details of his firing, and that of his cronies, you will not be impressed. The picture the details paint is one of a bunch of smirking, semi-bright frat boys whose mental development stopped when they were 14.

According to a former Fox employee who sued over Carlson’s behavior, Carlson and his dudebros had sexually-suggestive posters on their office walls. Posters? Aren’t those for high school kids and mechanics?

Carlson was allowed to host Kirk’s show the other day, which suggests he is making a grab for the bloody mantle. I wonder if he paid for the privilege.

I saw him talking to a couple of Kirk underlings. They had the audacity to talk about Yeshua and revival while buddying up to an enemy of the Jewish people. One of them made it seem like Kirk’s death was going to be the springboard for a huge revival.

It’s a springboard, all right, but not for revival. Not with people like Tucker Carlson jockeying for pope status.

I remember when Andrew Breitbart. I knew things about him, which I heard from an insider. He was a sleaze. I don’t think he had any principles at all. He helped Arianna Huffington start The Huffington Post, and then he turned around and started his own parasitic link page that fed off Drudge. That turned into Breitbart.com.

I think he would have been perfectly happy to run MSNBC or Mother Jones as long as the checks were good. I have no reason to think he was a conservative.

After Breitbart died, people eulogized him and played up their relationships to him. They tried to make him look like the fourth member of the Trinity. He was a sleaze, period. And he called me “evil” for being right about Pajamas Media.

Kirk was no sleaze, but people are using his death to beatify him in the eyes of the public, so they can cash in on their dubious proximity to him.

It wouldn’t bother me if they only praised him for his secular virtues, but they’re making him sound like Yeshua himself.

He didn’t heal anyone. He didn’t prophesy. He didn’t work miracles. He didn’t lay hands on people so they could receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit. He belonged to a weak denomination that keeps the Holy Spirit on the bench in order to avoid offending Christians who are heading in the wrong direction.

Try and find a video of him preaching. I couldn’t find a single one. I can’t find an essay about his walk with God.

If Christianity is the center of your life, and you have a monstrously-large public platform, how can you not write about your life with the Holy Spirit?

According to the Bible, Christians are supposed to have testimony, and, “Jesus changed my life,” doesn’t qualify.

He did a very secular job, and he relied on the non-Christian tools of hard work, self-promotion, and self-confidence. Fine. Lots of people have done similar things. Mike Lindell, for example. Donald Trump. Famous Amos. Susan Powter. It’s impressive. But it’s not ministry or anything likely to lead to real revival. Talking about Yeshua in between short debates with confused, hungover college students who take the Cliff’s Notes/Candace Owens approach to life and smell like bong water is not an exemplary ministry.

No one ever said, “I am on fire for God, and I absolutely have to drive across America to a Charlie Kirk appearance so I can be filled with the Holy Spirit and do what Peter and Paul did.”

He formed TPUSA Faith, not to turn Republicans to Yeshua, but to turn Christians to the Republican party.

People went to his appearances to see him own the libs. No one would have gone if he had done nothing but talk about Yeshua.

He’s not going to be replaced. Not by any of the usual hacks, at least. Owens is too crazy, angry, arrogant, and ignorant. Carlson isn’t very smart, he has the opposite of charisma, and like Owens, he will have a hard time wooing people who aren’t borderline Nazis. Who else is out there right now? Nobody.

People are saying his widow will replace him. In order to do that, she would have to have his gifts. I watched her speak for a while, and although she seems like an intelligent and motivated person, I doubt she can do what her late husband did. If one rare phenomenon just happened to marry another, it would be quite a coincidence.

If I were her, I’d just try to arrange the inheritance so I could raise my kids and let someone else take the heat.

It would be sad if a large number of people mistook Kirk for a spiritual leader. Anyone who can’t tell the difference between a secular leader who is a Christian and a spiritual leader who also has political leanings is blind.
