Fighting words are: “Words which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.”
This comes from the Supreme Court case Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942). The Court held that certain “well-defined and narrowly limited” categories of speech are not protected by the First Amendment—including fighting words. Just being offensive isn’t enough. The speech has to be:Directed at a specific individual. Likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction.

Where are the riots, like after the drug overdose death of George Floyd? An assassin destroyed Charlie Kirk’s jugular vein while he was on a university campus answering a question regarding transgender ultraviolence. The ammunition had written messages on it supporting transgender ultraviolence. We have been warned sternly by the “experts” about the “fascist” nature of America’s Christian majority, yet for some reason, those Christians are going about in quiet prayer.

Statement on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk – by Daniel Miller, 10Sep2025
https://texianpartisan.com/news/statements/statement-on-the-assassination-of-charlie-kirk/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Via a Mormon blog I follow – 11Sep2025
I hope I’m wrong.
But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn’t even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.
Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.
I didn’t feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump’s life. If I had to rationalise why I didn’t, I guess it’s because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.
But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.
Charlie’s death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don’t pray often. I am praying for them tonight.
But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.
I hope I’m wrong. (Konstantin Kisin)

The entire Right has to band together. Enough of this in-fighting bullsh@t. We are up against demonic forces from the pit of Hell. They’re killing us in our churches. They tried to kill our president. They killed Charlie, one of our greatest advocates. Put the personal squabbles aside. Now’s not the time. This is existential. A fight for our own existence and the existence of our country. (Matt Walsh)

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America – an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. (Ben Shapiro)

“Law enforcement isn’t to PREVENT crime! Law enforcement solves crime, okay? That is what they are supposed to do.”
(Translation: the police aren’t there to protect you, they are there to draw the chalk outline of the dead person. You can defend yourself to decide who is in the chalk outline. – jlr)

I was scanning TikTok when Charlie Kirk was shot. One of my conservative ladies gave out the news on an unexpected “live” thingie, and I went looking, panicking. Yep, it’s real. Damn. God damn. God FUCKING damn!

My lizard brain is currently doing shots of imaginary coke right now, hopping itself up to keep me aware of everything going on around me. I keep seeing things out of the corner of my eye and it turns out to be dust motes. I’m trying not to shut myself down right now, but also not to get so caught up that I lose track of life.

Why’s this under “prepping” today? Well, we need to be aware that when violence happens, we tend to REact. And frankly, I don’t believe we (and when I say “we” right now, I mean everyone who isn’t an absolute nut job, regardless of political stance) can afford to react. Act, yes. React, no. Reaction is instant. It’s brought about by the aforementioned lizard brain. It engages our “fight or flight” mode, and if we are reacting, we are not thinking.

When we’re in a personal emergency, that’s a good thing. It gets the adrenaline going, gets you up and moving, and might save your life. But with something like this, it’s just not useful. It hypes us up with nowhere to go. And while I trust the people I generally hang out with to be “head on a swivel” without being nut jobs, I don’t trust everyone else. I know too many on the Left who are excited and happy over this, and too many on the Right who have been itching for an excuse and who are using Kirk’s shooting as that excuse and damn the realities. NONE of it is good. Not one damn motherfucking bit of it.

I have enough EMT training to know that he wasn’t going to survive that shot. He lost so much blood in that initial burst that there was simply no way. The second hint was that his team picked him up and moved him. They don’t do that if there’s a chance he’ll survive; instead they form a shield wall and let the EMT do their work. There are lots of rumors out there (see my previous post on rumors) regarding what happened, who did it, and the reasoning behind the assassination. Like Chris, I’m waiting. I need to hear good, quality information from reliable sources, as difficult as that may be.

I will tell you what I think happened. I think a nutjob (very possibly with a septum ring and ties to the Left, but no guarantees) decided that the First Amendment was not worth protecting, and decided to make Charlie a signpost about what happens to people who don’t lap up the narrative from the Left’s breast. I think it was meant to do a few things. First and foremost, I believe it was meant to enrage the Right and hopefully spur people into doing stupid things (those REactions). Second, it took out someone who was effectively teaching young adults to think for themselves (because Charlie always listened to people and encouraged them to support their points). Third, it has been done in a way that makes it a chilling effect.

The Most Terrifying Force of Death

Please don’t wake the man who wants to be left alone.

Charlie

As of Thursday night, they still do not have the shooter in custody. They have confirmed they have good video of the shooter. They believe they have his firearm. A Mauser in 30-06. They have released an image of a person of interest.

There are statements being presented as fact that the cartridges had things written in them indicating a trans or antifa motivation. This has not been confirmed by official sources. The different media reporting this might very well be circle sourcing.

Iryna

It has been 20 days since she was murdered. The look of stark fear in her face after she was stabbed is burned in my mind. I am waiting for the trial to end to find him sentenced to death.

Networking

It’s working. Shhh, don’t spook it.

Race Conditions

In computer science, a race condition is when two threads act on the same value at the same time, with the results of one thread being overwritten by the other.

Consider a database with a value in it; call it the number of visitors to the site. Simplistic code would read the data from the database, increment it by one, then write it back to the database.

This works if there is only a single thread. But if there are two threads, between the time one thread reads the value and writes it back to the database, another thread reads the same value. The value will be incremented in the database by one, when it was supposed to be incremented by two.

In this simple case, we can use a monoatomic action to do the operation: UPDATE options SET value=value+1 WHERE key='site-counter'

This SQL statement reads, increments, and writes the results back in a single operation.

The other method is by using a transaction. db_start(); $row = db_query("SELECT * FROM options WHERE key='site-counter'"); $value = $row['value']; $value += 1; db_query("UPDATE options SET value=$value WHERE key='site-counter'"); db_commit();

The framework I am using uses a crass and simplistic ORM (object relationship model). You don’t normally access the database directly. There is no method to start a transaction using the ORM. This would not be an issue except the framework actually has a critical section where a race condition can exist and is being hit on a semiregular basis.

And my last explanation to the client, this being the fifth time she’s asked what this thing is happening, was met with “I don’t speak your language. When will it be fixed?”

3) People begin to look for preferential treatment.
4) Opposing ideology to the prevailing civic ideology is introduced and spread.
5) Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
6) People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology.  Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
7) Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
* 8) Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
9) Opposing sides develop governing/war structures.  Just in case.
10)Open War.
* where we are now

The Weatherman: Some Brief Thoughts – by Chris Bray, 10Sep2025
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/the-weatherman-some-brief-thoughts
First, the murder of Charlie Kirk is just the next level up the behavioral chain from the way Robert F. Kennedy was just treated in front of a Senate committee. (See #8 of The Wilder Countdown to Civil War II™. above)
Second, the transition to radical violence is a reflection of the events that followed the death of the radical dream of the 1960s New Left. After the hippies, the Weatherman and the Symbionese Liberation Army.
I know this message will seem strange in this moment, but the violent lashing out isn’t a sign of strength. It’s the sign of cultural death, and evidence that the people who want to destroy disagreement are deeply, painfully aware that they cannot convince.
There will be more infliction of pain as they face that collapse.

Ally is in tears. I’m angry. I haven’t been this angry since somebody tried to take my kids from me 15+ years ago.

We are seeing a breakdown of our societal norms. We are no longer a high-trust society. As the Magic Eight Ball used to say, “All signs point to yes.”

My father used to say that he was made colorblind by an act of Congress. By this he meant that as an officer in the US Navy, he was legally bound to ignore race when interacting with those that reported to him.

In my entire life I believe I’ve only seen one reaction from him or my mother that was race-based.

In 4th grade I asked my parents if my friend from school could come over. They agreed. The parents were in contact with each other, and Mom and I went to pick up my friend.

He climbed into the car, and we had a great playdate. Afterward my parents said something about, “We weren’t expecting a black kid.”

In all my descriptions of my friend, I never mentioned his race.

I feel like I remained colorblind until middle school. In high school I was exposed to N* for the first time. They enjoyed picking on the white kids. They were crass, rude, mean. I hated the bus ride, I hated school, and I hated everything to do with the N*s. But here’s the thing: I use that word today; I didn’t at the time. Those monsters destroyed my opinion of black people. It took years before I recovered.

I did recover. I was able to look beyond race and judge people by their actions. I didn’t see racism until I was at University and was introduced to the term “Oreo” by a friend. He was describing how N*s described him.

Even when I was living with Section 8 people, the people were people. The N*s dealing drugs across the street from me and my family? Not so much.

The other day, an evil monster with black skin was riding the light rail when he decided to murder a young white woman. He took a lockblade from his pocket. He opened it. He then prepared to leave the car at the next stop.

As the train stopped, he stood, took a step to his right, leaned forward, and stabbed Iryna 3 times, murdering her before walking off the train saying, “I got that white girl.”

I have been seeing videos claiming that Iryna deserved it, because she was white. There are images out there of this evil black monster with a crown on his head and red glowing eyes praising his actions.

And I’ve seen videos made by blacks calling the white people that refuse to sit in front of them “racist.”

I’m sick of it. I’m sick of being told that I’m evil and uncaring and attempting to silence people who are saying everything they think out loud and in public.

I’m not willing to make a fuss or call them on their hate-filled screeds. It isn’t worth it.

Charlie was willing. Charlie was very good at it.

He would debate anybody who came to talk with him. Ben Shapiro is good at winning debates. He isn’t nearly as good as Charlie was at bringing people to the right.

Ally watched more of Charlie than I ever did. I didn’t watch because I can’t stay that calm in the face of such idiocy.

Today we lost Charlie.

And I’m scared. There are people from the middle that are running from the far left loons as fast as they can. They aren’t conservatives, they are not right leaning, but they sure as hell aren’t with them.

I don’t know who shot Charlie. I’ll wait to find out. I am passing judgment on the reaction of the “left.” I’m passing judgment on the rhetoric of the left, of how they constantly use the language of violence against the right.

I don’t hate them; they are not worth my energy. They say they hate me.

What am I scared of? I’m scared the light switch has been flipped in far too many people.

The left treats violence as a dimmer switch; they turn it up until it starts to look like it might be too much, then they turn it down. They use it to keep things at a low boil without things boiling over.

Unfortunately, the response isn’t on a dimmer switch. It is on a toggle switch to 20,000 volts.

It is the people who are comfortable taking 300 yard shots with Grandpa’s old hunting rifle.  It is the people who walk into a place and understand egress planning as well as sight/shot lines. It is people that respond without thinking to threats as if they had been in dance class together.

These are the people who go silent while they make target lists. These are the people who will spend the time and effort to plan every part of their operation to the final degree.

And that target list is huge. It would include people who wouldn’t dream they would be on someone’s target list.  They are just a talking head on MSNBC or CNN or any of the other outlets that spew hate and lies. It includes all the low-level politicians who aren’t relevant enough to be on a target list.

There is a powerful scene in Unintended Consequences where two hunters are out deer hunting. They look across the river into the backyard of a politician. They decide that they want to become part of the resistance.  So they line up to take the shot, just as if it was a deer. It was an easy 250-yard shot.

They then just walked out of the woods, another pair of hunters.

How many opportunities will present themselves over the coming months to people who have had the switch flipped?

I pray for all of you to do the right thing. Stay strapped; keep your head on a swivel. Stay away from stupid people. Stay away from stupid places. And don’t be there at stupid times.

Charlie Kirk has died. I’m more than PISSED.

I am so angry right now.

Keep your head on a swivel. Stay strapped.

So everyone occasionally shares a rumor. Most of us catch onto a good one and speculate among ourselves, making sure everyone we talk to understands IT IS A RUMOR. Rumors are not truth, and I suspect that everyone on Vine of Liberty and most conservatives are quite aware of that fact. Liberals in general and Democrats in particular are less sure of this distinction.

Rumors I have heard this week on social media:

• Trump is dead.
• Trump is being defeated in the courts.
• Trump is giving massive tax cuts to the rich and forcing the poor to pay for everything.
• Able bodied people dumped off of food stamps and other gov’t funded charities will die.
• Republicans are racist, homophobic (and/or hate gay people), misogynistic, etc.
• JK Rawlings is a racist, homophobe, etc.
• Trans people are dying because of Trump’s rules and laws.
• Gay people are losing their rights.
• Trans people are losing their rights.
• People of any ancestry other than “white” are losing their rights.
• Women are losing their rights.
• We’re on track to be in an episode of The Handmaid’s Tale.

I could go on, but I know you’ve heard it all before, too. And I could sit here and refute most of the above without even having to look stuff up, but why bother? Even when I present factual, irrefutable proof that their rumors are actually untrue, they continue to believe.

Most of the rumors I hear are bullshit, and I treat them as such. I just skim onward, ignoring them. There’s simply no point in giving them any traction, and there’s no way to weed them out. They’re teflon, because people on the Left have such strong belief that it’s … well, unbelievable.

And then there’s the recent set of rumors (I refuse to call them facts, but I have no other word to use, so we’re going with “rumors”) that Pew has put out. I’m disappointed in them, by the by. I normally consider their stuff to be not too bad, but this really got me.

They did a survey of Americans, asking what their opinions were on the economy, and a variety of economic factors. Now, even red states have a low view of the current economy in certain areas, because we’re recovering from four years of Liberal spending and waste. That’s to be expected. But the headlines that came out of it was stuff like “Economic failure in sight!” and “Trump’s Economy Problem is Threatening his Entire Agenda.”

The Left is all excited that Trump is apparently disliked by most people. They miss that the polls only polled people who would answer a certain way. The outcome is one of opinion, not fact. Someone a few weeks ago was explaining (mansplaining) to me that the economy was shite, that everything was becoming so expensive that it wasn’t affordable to eat, businesses were failing, and the world was going to sink under massive debt. I looked over at the lowest gas prices I’ve seen in years, and the cost (expensive but affordable) of the sushi dinner I had with my partner last week, and how the price of my groceries has dipped by about a third since Trump came into office. I tried to explain that to the person, but was rebuffed. I don’t understand economics, they said. They’re correct that I’m not great with economics, but I know how to make a budget and I know I’m coming in UNDER budget for most things for the first time in years. So… I guess they don’t understand economics either.

Everything presented by the Left lately is based on opinion. Now the Right does that sometimes too, but most of the time the Right manages to rightly label something as opinion. They don’t put opinion out as if it’s fact. They don’t say the economy is bad because people think it’s bad. That is literally what’s happening right now on the Left. They can’t point to facts to show how bad things are going, so they’re polling people who are “proving septum ring theory” and presenting it as fact. By that, I mean that they’re proving that septum ring theory is correct.

I’m tired, folks. I’m worried about a lot of things. I’m worried about vaccines (because I know most vaccines work and I don’t want to see the baby thrown out with the bath water). I’m worried about the economy (because if Vance doesn’t get in for 2028, the economy is going to circle the drain). I’m worried about books in schools (while I don’t see anyone banning any books, I do wish some books were more readily available in schools and I worry that the Karens of the world will spoil school libraries for everyone). I’m worried about the posting of Christian-only religious materials in public schools (because I’ve long held the opinion that either it’s “everyone gets to” or “NO ONE gets to”). I’m worried about the next generation being able to manage the world (because other than the few successful kids I personally know, all I see out there are slackers who think that working more than 7 hours in a day is some kind of abuse, and they’re damn vocal about it). I’m worried that the ideal of personal success is gone. I’m tired, and I’m worried. The rumors don’t help; they make it worse.

I read Reddit because there are some useful groups within. Mostly technical. Unfortunately, like most social media, the woke left has taken over large swaths of the site. I recommend CourtListener.com to anybody who is interested in following court cases. I’m acquainted with the leader of the Free Law Project, who runs CourtListener.

In other words, I’ve had multiple personal conversations with him. Even going so far as to talk about Second Amendment issues. He is a “good” person, but he is driven by feelings of conservative evil. They dropped their X account because of Elon’s “Nazi salute” and only use BlueSky for social media announcements.

That is the sort of thing that drives many Reddit groups. A level of TDS and hatred of all that is not lockstep leftist talking points.

When I heard about the Claremont school district (SAU-6) having a budget shortfall of over $5 million, I read some articles. Every article rapidly descended into hate for Republicans, Trump, and anybody to the right of Marx.

These postings were in the New Hampshire sub-reddit. Since I read one article, the algorithm gave me more. Which led the algorithm to recommend r/messachusetts. Which was pure leftist drivel and a constant stream of hate.

The article that led me here was a picture of a new ICE vehicle. Since it was new, there was hate about that. They hated on the fact that the car wasn’t a beater. They hated on the paint job. They hated on money being spent on ICE and not burnt at the stake of “ending homelessness,” “universal healthcare,” “low cost healthcare,” and anything else they could think about—free housing, free transportation, free everything.

About every 10th comment was, “Did you report it to LUCE?”

From context, I knew LUCE had to be a group actively involved with protecting criminals.

And of course they are. “Think you see I.C.E. in your area? Call: 617-xxx-xxxx”. They have operators ready to take calls and texts in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Haitian, Creole, Mandarin, “and more to be added!”

Their entire media presence is built around conflating immigrants with criminal aliens. They talk about the evil of Trump and his plans. Of attempting to install fear in the “immigrant” community.

They are absolutely tone-deaf to what we on the right are thinking about dealing with.

Here we see a criminal animal sitting behind an immigrant. The immigrant had a job, was well-liked in the community, and was on her way home from work. She was killed by the criminal animal who had been released multiple times for multiple felonies.

She is an immigrant that we, on the right, support. She seems to have done everything correctly to enter and stay in the United States.

I will say that I had originally written that the animal that murdered Iryna Zarutska was a criminal alien; it turns out that he is just an American born animal.

As I get older, I find the songs I once sang along to have a different meaning and a different feel.

Is he really singing about his nanny sexually abusing him “before he left his nursery?”
