MAGA Martyrs

 

Trump has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until Sunday. Another MAGA martyr has joined Ashli “Q-Anon” Babbitt in the sacred Valhalla of MAGA Martyrdom.

MAGA has been demanding that their female martyr receives the full military honors the Pentagon rightfully denied her. After all, Trump granted her clemency and therefore restored her honor, right? One Democrat wants Republicans to go on the record for this travesty and insult to military honor.

Raw Story reports:

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) will introduce a formal resolution to prevent the Department of Defense from offering full military honors to Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to crawl through a smashed window into the House Speaker's Lobby as Donald Trump supporters tried to overturn his 2020 election loss, reported CBS News.

"The idea that they're giving this to a person who actively tried to overthrow the government, who was violent in nature, who knowingly was entering a restrictive zone while we were trying to conduct the safe passage of democracy, and the idea that they're just going to give this without a fight, it's just not going to happen," Gallego said.

The Pentagon initially denied the Babbitt family's request for a military funeral, stating that she was killed after "illegally" entering the Capitol, but the right-wing Judicial Watch lobbied Hegseth to reconsider, pointing to Trump's immediate pardon for more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants upon returning to office.

"[The government's] refusal to provide military funeral honors was part of the 'grave national injustice' that President Trump ended by granting clemency," Judicial Watch wrote in its request. "The 'process of national reconciliation' that began with presidential clemency demands a new determination granting military funeral honor for Ashli and her family."

But Gallego said those honors are meant "for those who defend the Constitution, not traitors," and his resolution cites the specific violation of federal law she was committing when she was killed.

"Ashli Babbitt's actions on January 6, 2021, constitute disqualifying conduct under section 985 of 4 title 10, United States Code, the rendering of military funeral honors to her would bring discredit upon the Air Force, and she is not eligible for such honors," Gallego's resolution reads.

The murder of Kirk is absolutely inexcusable. I too, extend condolences to his family. Nobody should have to suffer such horrible grief. They deserve our empathy. 

Now we’re hearing the usual chorus, mostly from Democrats, “There’s no place for political violence”.

But that ship sailed on January 6, 2021. Political violence is here to stay since Americans REWARDED a Criminal who incited a violent coup. Our next Medal of Freedom winner Charlie Kirk urged his fans to help bail out Nancy Pelosi's husband's assailant. 

Some Republicans have also echoed the condemnation of political violence, but none of them, including the extremists on the Supreme Court, seem to have a problem with Trump inciting, praising, and pardoning his thugs for beating cops bloody in their attempt to steal the 2020 election for him.

But that doesn’t mute their blatant hypocrisy. House Speaker Mike Johnson once told reporters. “And we need every political leader to decry the violence and to do it loudly. The problem is in the human heart, and it’s gotten out of hand.”

Gee, why IS that, Mr. Speaker?

But with Trump and his white Christian nationalist base, political violence ISN’T really denounced. It’s in their wheelhouse. It’s ALWAYS about demonizing and punishing people they hate.

After his standard fascist smear of him, Johnson advocated violence upon the Democratic California governor, Gavin Newsom.

“He is applauding the bad guys and standing in the way of the good guys,” Johnson said. “He is a participant, an accomplice.”

“I’m not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tarred and feathered, I’ll say that.”

Newsom aptly replied: “Good to know we’re skipping the arrest and going straight for the 1700’s style forms of punishment. A fitting threat given the [Republicans] want to bring our country back to the 18th century.” 

Newsom’s response to Kirk’s murder demonstrated a level of empathy, (the word Kirk can’t stand,) we never hear from Trump and his MAGA mob.

“The best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate – never through violence.”

Let’s contrast that with what Trump had to say after a Minnesota state representative and her husband were killed, while another state legislator and his wife were wounded. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him," Trump said. "Why would I call him? I could call and say, 'Hi, how you doing?' Uh, the guy doesn't have a clue. He's a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?"

Yes, like Kirk, Trump can’t stand the word “empathy”. Tyrants and authoritarians along with their followers have no use for empathy. It neither enriches nor empowers them.

Ignoring what happened in Minnesota and his cold-blooded hateful response to the assassinations, Trump doubled down on his fascist rhetoric and projection in praise of his propagandist, "Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis ("very fine people") and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.”

This comes from the neo-Nazi fascist whose "values" include smearing Democrats as "communists destroying America" and "vermin". I can almost hear the strains of the "Horst Wessel Song" in the background. That was the Nazi Party anthem to their most famous early martyr and Brownshirt thug.

Now what concerns me are the rabid neo-Nazi elements of MAGA who would be emboldened to become vigilantes hunting Democrats, like the assassin in Minnesota.

Let the radical Right and corporate media dutifully sing their accolades for Kirk, for I have come to bury Kirk, not to praise him.

His own vile neo-Nazi white nationalist words will suffice for this memorial. As Kirk framed his speaking tour, "Prove me wrong".

Kamala Harris says her values haven't changed. So your Marxist values haven't changed?... She has deep father issues. Her father, who is a communist.

(Economist Donald Harris is married to Carol Kirlew, a former communications specialist for the World Bank.)

In August 2024, Kirk published an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show titled "Kamala the Communist Wants Soviet-Style Grocery Stores".

“Woke is the new word for Communism. And Trump needs to exploit that Kamala Harris is a communist.”

The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project. That is at the core of the Democrat project, at the core. And Jasmine Crockett is just some circus act in that entire operation. But it's deathly serious. She — you shouldn't take what she says seriously. It's just a joke. What she represents is very serious, which is the continue attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.

Enjoy Charlie and Jack Posobiec's conversation from The People's Convention, where they discuss Jack's new book, 'Unhumans,' alongside Joshua Lisec. They dive into the history of Communist revolutions, socialism and Marxism, the links between Communists and today's liberals, and other history you may not know, but should.

Ketanji Brown Jackson - is what your country looks like on critical race theory. KBJ is your country on CRT. KBJ - Ketanji Brown Jackson - is an embodiment of the tyranny that we currently live under. She's an ideological, unintelligent, yet confident fanatic who is so dismissive that you might even ask the question of what a woman is.

The Civil Rights Act, though, let's be clear, created a beast, and that beast has now turned into an anti-white weapon. 

And:

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Is it really worth it to his family? Maybe if you hate the word "empathy", I suppose.
