Dear friends, I must ask a question. What have you done for America lately? In fact, what have you done for America today?
In the continued light of the increasingly suspicious-looking death of Charlie Kirk, this is an especially good question to be asking. For there are many destructive forces working overtime to see to it that this land we live in becomes a far less free and far less prosperous land.
While Charlie Kirk may not have been perfect, he dedicated a great deal of his life to promoting liberty in this land, and encouraged many to do the same.
When I ask, "What have you done for America lately?" I am not asking about what you have done for the federal government or for your state government. I am, instead, talking about what you have done for the idea that solidified itself some four hundred years ago on these shores, the idea that life can be different than in stultified Europe and that men can live free. It is an idea that, over time, grew refined in some eras and grew more dull in other eras.
The FBI Is Beginning To Admit The Role They Played On January 6
We now have a leaked, 50-page FBI document that tells us that some 274 plain-clothes FBI agents showed up at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, with more than 300 agents total present. Its accuracy is confirmed by FBI Director Kash Patel, though his verification of the document creates more questions than answers, since former FBI Director Christopher Wray neglected to mention these details to Congress.
Suddenly, four years later, we are hearing for the first time from the FBI that 274 plain clothes FBI agents were present, but it was only for "crowd control" we are assured by Mr. Patel.
Additional Factors
Alongside the "Crowd Control Theory," Mr. Patel has already been the star in classic tales of nonsense such as "The Charlie Kirk Lone Gunman Theory," by which a young man who looks like Lee Harvey Oswald, Jr. complete with a bolt action rifle, does what is physically and chronologically impossible by bending space and time.
Mr. Patel is also known for classics such as the "Epstein DID Kill Himself Theory" and the "Epstein Had No Additional Accomplices Theory, So Let's All Just Close The Case And Stop Talking About It." Mr. Patel's willingness to state the inaccurate on key cases of national importance has already impacted his pursuit for a more trusted FBI.
He is rapidly becoming the poster-child of MAGA inaction, evidence-free "trust me" style statements, and Republican unwillingness to do the unpleasant work of enforcing existing laws for the well-being of the American people.
To add to the preposterousness of the Crowd Control Theory, do not forget the lie of omission contained within spook-speak that an "agent" is different than an "asset," and that no FBI Director is ever required to point that out to you. While we are starting to learn about agents that day, we have no idea from official sources how many assets were present.
For years, people who were on the ground on January 6, 2021 have insisted that government and Antifa provocateurs were present. Congressman Clay Higgins gave Tucker Carlson more than a year ago, a ballpark estimate close to the size of the leaked Patel estimate. The evidence is increasingly coming together that people within the federal government staged a riot on January 6, 2021, to cover up a stolen election. The time is much later than any of us realize and the government at all levels is far more complicit than many politically involved people will acknowledge.
America Is An Idea
Yes, America is an idea. And America is a culture that grew up around that idea. War will not stop America. Division will not stop America. Disagreement will not stop America. And not every person who pays taxes to the federal state is what I would call an American. America is bigger than a piece of land. America is a concept, an opportunity, and a culture, a culture that some choose to opt out of with their choices on how they exist.
But then there are others.
And in some periods of American history, those who called themselves patriots were enemies of that of freedom, but bootlickers of the state. While at other times, they were right there as well-aligned with those concepts as can be.
American culture exists where you sacrifice to encourage that liberty in your presence.
Something Very Good About The People Who Showed Up On January 6
On January 6, 2021, hundreds of thousands of heroes, perhaps even upwards of one million, gathered together in Washington DC to do exactly what people should do when they learn an election has been stolen.
The sad thing is not that more did not gather - what a defeatist way to see the world; afterall, the apathetic exist in all eras, so why focus your attention there. Nor is the sad thing that, so many opposed them - also what a sad way to see the world; for both the misinformed and those who oppose freedom, also, exist in every era.
The place to focus on a day like January 6, 2021: that America was strong enough in the year 2021, even after so much brainwashing and gaslighting took place in 2020, that some one million people would take time off work, off school, away from their duties, and pay their own way to Washington DC, some even spending the night or even several nights there, with additional days spent in travel, because they sincerely believed that the 2020 election had been improperly conducted, even stolen, and that their elected representatives needed to peacefully hear from them.
A million people showing up for that speaks volumes about the health of the idea known as America.
What a sad testament it would be if no one cared enough to show up in such a situation. But that is not the scenario we are in. America is very much alive and well. However, the government of this land has grown anathema to the concepts that make America what it is. In fact, the taxes paid in the United States are almost entirely weaponized against the people who most exemplify the culture and the concept that is America.
The "Get Trump" Movement Is About "Putting America In Its Place"
There was a two-year Mueller Investigation in which FORTY full-time FBI agents were handed to Robert Mueller to do anything he wanted with them as long as he followed his mandate to "get Trump."
Donald Trump has positive and negative dimensions. We can go back and forth all day about that. Regardless, he was the rightfully elected leader of this country in 2016, and to work not in favor of him as a government employee, but to do anything possible to delegitimize his presidency was to work against the people who elected him.
What a very important side-note to, therefore, add here. All of these efforts to "get Trump" were not efforts to neutralize a single individual: Donald Trump. He was not, actually, the problem. All the people who supported him and who he helped empower were the problem, with the former especially being a problem.
Donald Trump has been part of a movement of torch-bearers who have helped awaken a land of sleeping lions.
The effort to "get Trump" was about "getting the American people," about neutralizing the American people, about neutralizing you, and me, and ostensibly your wife, and my wife, and our kids, and brothers and sisters, and neighbors, and families, and all these people who civilly voted for a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump.
Those Who Make Violent Revolution Inevitable
These attempts to neutralize Trump are quite dangerous. As President Kennedy said in March 1962, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
It isn't about Trump. Those of us who love Trump, tend to love him because he enables America. Those of us who love Trump, love him because he lifts the boot off the neck of the increasingly lifeless body that is America.
It's Not About Trump, So Just Get Past That Mental Blockade Already
Is Trump perfect? That is not my standard. I know enough Bible to know that perfection is not expected of us. Regardless, it isn't about Trump.
That political focus is a distraction - it is about the people energized by a Trump presidency. You are the enemy. There are even people who do not vote who are energized (in a good way) by the Trump presidency, or never-Trumpers, too, as well as moderates, and some radical leftists even. Some of these people may be well-intentioned and there are likely many more like them to follow. It's not about Trump. It's not about politics. It's not about right and left. It is so much more important than that.
America is an idea. And it is a culture that has formed around that idea.
And there are many people, some of them quite powerful, who want to choke the life out of that idea and out of that culture. Because they believe that if they can do that, they can do the same to the rest of the world so much more easily, though there are a plethora of motivations beyond that common and sinister one.
America Changed Forever
On September 10, 2025, America forever changed. Charlie Kirk was shot that day. A man who gave everything for his country was shot that day, but also a man who gave everything for his Savior was shot that day.
We owe it to that man, to our progeny, to our forebearers, and to the idea and culture that is America to get to the bottom of what happened to Charlie Kirk. We owe it to those same people to live much like Charlie Kirk - not to just give occasionally for America and for faith, not to just tithe our time and tithe our resources for America and faith, but to give everything we have for those two important causes, causes that I might even say are one and the same.
Our Founding Documents, Our American Culture
The Mayflower Compact is one of our founding documents. The Declaration of Independence is also. To a lesser degree, but still important, the US Constitution is, especially with the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments, which were not added for some four years after the US Constitution was ratified by the first state. These are founding documents alongside essays, such as the collection known as "The Federalist Papers" and also the collection known as "The Anti-Federalist Papers." Those are our founding documents, and so are many other letters written between founding fathers part of our founding documents, and the most important of those founding documents is the Bible.
I am not demanding every American be a Bible thumper, or Bible reader, or even a Bible believer. I am not saying that, at all. I am saying, that if you want to get back to the basics of what America is, you are not going to get there without the Bible. You cannot take those other founding documents and the concepts contained therein out of the context of the most important American founding document, the one that all other founding documents must be read through - The Holy Bible.
It ain't a Judeo-Christian culture, either. It's a Christian culture. That isn't pointed out with the goal of offending anyone. That is pointed out with the goal of achieving laser focused clarity on where America needs to return to if it wants to return to basics, if it wants to return to first principles.
And with that, I must ask, "What have you done for America lately?"
You don't owe me an answer. But please give yourself an answer.
And don't judge yourself alongside some of the bums you know in life. Because if you do, you will be a bum-quality of American.
Judge yourself against someone like Charlie Kirk.
