A Tragic National Harbinger :: By Bill Wilson

The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has revealed much about the state of our nation.

Yes, Kirk was a public figure, but also a husband, father, and fellow citizen. His death should have inspired sympathy, even from critics of his politics. Instead, thousands took to social media to mock, ridicule, and celebrate his murder.

That so many would cheer the death of a man simply because of his beliefs is a sobering reminder of how far society has fallen from even the most basic standards of decency. Scripture warns that when people do what is right in their own eyes, the result is corruption, chaos, and grief. Sadly, we are living in that reality. This single event is no doubt a national harbinger of a country at a crossroads.

The sheer number of celebratory posts was staggering. From cheer coaches to school board members, from employees at companies to ordinary citizens, many proudly displayed their joy that a man had been assassinated for his beliefs. Videos and memes were shared openly, mocking Kirk’s wife and family.

Social media, once intended to connect communities, has become a tool for hate and destruction. What used to be whispered in dark corners is now shouted from digital rooftops without shame. The willingness of thousands to revel in another’s murder shows not only the hardness of hearts, but also the presence of a darker, more sinister cultural current rising within our nation.

This is more than mere political division. It is evidence of an evil spirit growing in the culture, one that despises God, family, and truth. And when a record of these disgraceful comments is compiled—such as the website gathering public posts of those who mocked Kirk—mainstream outlets like Wired rush to condemn the collectors as “right-wing extremists.” Think about that: the outrage is not over people rejoicing at an assassination, but that their words are being preserved as evidence. Fortunately, those who engaged in such vile mockery are already facing consequences, with several being fired or suspended from their jobs.

Liberals decry this as an attack on free speech, yet they ignore the accountability that comes with exercising that freedom. They overlook that they celebrate a murder that silenced the free speech of a fellow citizen.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Every word carries weight. With rights come responsibilities, with responsibilities come accountability, and with accountability come consequences. Those who mock the dead, especially one’s husband, father, and fellow citizen, should not be surprised when their words cost them. The deeper tragedy, however, is not in the firings or suspensions. It is that our society has reached such a place where political animus overrides human decency.

Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.”

Let us stand in solidarity with what is right and good in the sight of God, and hold accountability against the tide of darkness trying to overtake us.

Stupidocrisy: Democrats Mocking God :: By Bill Wilson

Democratic Party leadership long has fought religion, but they have collectively and very publicly shown their true hearts in the wake of the Minnesota Catholic school shooting.

Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki lit the fuse by declaring, “Prayer is not freaking enough” when kids were killed by an insane trans shooter.

This is offensive to those who believe in the power of petitioning Heaven in grief.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back, while Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom further demeaned prayer, saying that those children were literally praying as they got shot at. This heresy is more than tone-deaf. It shows a political party with an ideology willing to mock what’s sacred. But it’s even deeper.

There’s real hypocrisy at play. The same party that now mocks prayer leans on “thoughts and prayers” when tragedy makes headlines—until it doesn’t.

Vice President JD Vance called Psaki’s remarks bizarre, reminding us: “How dare you attack people praying when kids are just killed praying?”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, now DNI, called Psaki’s stance “anti-God sentiment,” noting her words mirror the same ideology that motivated the shooter.

The Democrats that attacked people of faith for praying lays bare their true hearts as families are still grieving the horror of the attack on their children.

Mocking prayer is rebellion against the very One who holds life and death in His hands.

As Franklin Graham said, “God does see, God does hear, and God can intervene.” He reminded critics that prayer isn’t some hollow ritual; it’s a direct line to Heaven. Graham essentially said that people discouraging prayer are doing Satan’s work, “We need to call on His name, ask for His help, and not be ashamed of prayer….Yes, we pray, and I will continue to encourage people to pray. Satan would like nothing better than to thwart the most vital tool God has given us—prayer.”

Catholic Bishop Robert Barron called the dismissal of prayer asinine and said that praying doesn’t shield from suffering—it connects us with God in pain.

Mocking prayer is not leadership. It’s doing the devil’s work and perfecting the dark art of cultural vandalism.

Trashing how millions communicate in their relationship with God is the mouth speaking from the abundance of dark hearts. That’s truly revealing.

Galatians 6:7 reminds us, “Do not be deceived: God will not be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

When they mock God, they sow contempt—and that harvest isn’t pretty. Prayer doesn’t excuse inaction, nor does action excuse dismissing the divine. A nation without prayer is spiritually bankrupt.

The Democratic Party’s talking points have crossed the line to offensive sacrilege. And their harvest? A divided, distrustful country where they characterize faith as a political liability, not a common lifeline.

Much of what the Democrats say and do these days is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

But they cross the line when they mock God. Look at how they lead and the fruit of their work, and it is evidence of godlessness.
