The Kirk Hangover!


We've had a weekend to sober up and look at the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk from a realistic, sober and fact-based view. JK, this is America where anything makes one go on social media and say hey look at me! The Tik Tok and the deep dark internet videos of screeching right wing nuts looking for attention by calling for permission from King Trump to start killin the libtards. Yeah, some of them are over the top and are nothing but performance theatrics, but some are not. You can tell the serious ones from the middle school level audition for the tough guy role. The serious ones are kind of scary. The ones where the person speaking is not holding a gun, not screaming, not wearing any type of right-wing gear yet very calmly announces that war has been declared. Either creepily dangerous OR the best actors on the planet. 

The MAGAt snowflakes have their marching orders. Blame the transgenders, the left and whatever else they can throw against the wall hoping it sticks to dummies. We have a Governor of Utah, almost sort of unifying and eerily strange, suddenly changed course over the weekend and began blaming the left and the transgenders. It's almost like he had a little talking to by a googly eyed incompetent. The crazies all started taking like the killer being part of the "trans agenda" was as fact based as the stolen 2020 election. These people are pros. They know how to stir the shit and they also realized that ignorant people are so easy to manipulate. Much like Kirk knew.

Meanwhile the grieving widow, Erika Kirk, with a filter that made her look even more insane, took to social media to deliver a bitter, spiteful, threatening speech that did zero unifying. But then why would it? Erika Kirk is every bit the grifter her husband was. She crassly posted on Instagram for chrissakes video of her hovering over the casket of her dead husband, kissing his fingers, kissing his face all the while whispering her love. Also, all the while being professionally taped. Talk about performance art! Later on the emails began to circulate. Erika will carry on his work. Please give me money. The guy isn't even buried, and she's gotten back on the grifting horse. She's a con artist, a grifter, a charlatan just as Charlie was. It's all about the cash, baby, send me some. Say wait, wouldn't Charlie have wanted a man to take over since women are for makin white babies and stayin out of sight?

I am so sick of all of this. The right, full of gun nuts and guys who have waited their whole lives to join the modern day equivalent of the KKK and start lynchings again. The left, full of everything relates to Gaza and immaturity gloating over a guy bleeding out on a stage in front of hundreds cuz he said something they didnt like. The crazies, full of antisemites blaming the Mossad cuz Charlie was going to abandon Israel, or the whackos saying it was an inside job and the stage security killed him, or the jibrones saying it was a false flag. I'm SICK of it! Maybe some bad joke at the Emmys will outrage the MAGAt snowflakes into a new outrage. I sure hope so.

Meanwhile on Saturday night, Omaha's own Terence Bud Crawford won yet another boxing title in Las Vegas. I love to watch Crawford box. He is as methodical as an Ali, a Greg Maddux, an Ichiro, a Marv Levy, a Greg Popovich, a Brady, a Gene Tunney (google him kids). Methodical is boring to some. The people who worship legalized assault like UFC or MMA or the theatrics of WWE. They just want action. Brawling. Total chaos. Then there's the rest of us. Admiring the thought process of a man who knows his every move and showing Mike Tyson's theory that all your plans go out of the window when you get punched in the face is only 99% true. Crawford gets socked in the grill and acts like yep thats part of the plan. What Crawford has done is unprecedented. He has won multiple titles from 135 lbs to 168 lbs. Thats remarkable. Nobody is too big to take down for Bud. I say the two loudest indoor spontaneous reactions I've ever heard were the moment in Omaha when a Husker volleyball  killshot beat Texas for the national title AND the moment Bud Crawford one punch knocked out Julius Indongo  in Lincoln. Well done beating a bigger guy yet again.
