This has to end. Leftism needs to be relegated to the ash heap of history with Communism, socialism, and fascism. Charlie Kirk was killed because he was making strides towards doing just that. We have to continue on with that and do it as he did it, though learning, discipline, and conviction. While the other side embraces violence, we must embrace reason and faith.

The world certainly needs a savior as badly now as it did then. The good news is that Emmanuel or “God Among Us” is still among us.

Attempts to rationalize the performance and tolerant and inclusive are laughable. Accordingly, many Christians were outraged. The IOC has given and halfhearted apology and has memory-holed all depictions of the event online.
