After this I’m going to try to stop beating this particular dead horse…

But regarding Charlie Kirk…
I’m not celebrating his death. I am amazed at the irony by which it occurred because one rarely sees such karma in real time. I hadn’t thought about him before the shooting, and he likely won’t remain in my thoughts once he’s out of the news.

But to folks like the fellow yesterday who called me "evil and cruel" and wished me harm because I can’t quite love my enemies (and who demonstrated he’s no different):

Suppose this had happened to Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton ? Would you be urging all this compassion and empathy for their loved ones ? Call me skeptical; I know my countrymen.

Yes. This is all correct. Kirk’s death is an utter tragedy, but the intense reaction to it is insane. That my team (Chicago Cubs) decided a moment of silence was appropriate for Kirk begs the question of who on the left this would be given for. He was not a politician nor a humanitarian. Nor would he have claimed to be.

@luckranger71 The Yankees did the same, then followed it the next day with Trump in their locker room while they fawned over him on the Anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers. :(
