Is anyone else getting a black screen on the thread every once and awhile?

I get this black screen only here, you can still read the threads but its black, and I cleared my cache and deleted cookies and all of that, but it keeps happening. Thought I would ask.

Maybe @Angelina might know
It's fine for me.

Apparently Kirk was warned he would be shot
And why not use shield of bullet proof glass.

That would also have helped prevent Trump being shot.

He seemed the type of chap who would leave it in God's hands.

The banner encircling canopy he sat beneath read, PROVE ME WRONG.

That in conjunction with this killing makes an even stronger impression for what we're up against.

If anyone can post this video would be great. I can not figure out on my phone. But I think this speaks of a lot of us how we feel
Here is what the speaker in the video said. Sorry I did not know it linked to facebook

Here is a link to the post.

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved. But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

Exclusive | Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin Tyler Robinson bragged about long-range shooting skills: former coworker

Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson once bragged to a group about his precise, long-range shooting skills, a former coworker recalled during an exclusive interview with The Post Saturday. …
nypost.com

nypost.com

Yes, according to a report from the New York Post, Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old arrested for the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, did boast about his long-range shooting skills. A former coworker who worked with Robinson on an apartment complex job in St. George, Utah, in 2023 recalled Robinson claiming to have made a 450-yard shot. The coworker described Robinson as unusually quiet, except when discussing firearms, and noted that Robinson often walked around with tightly clenched fists—a trait that was evident in security footage from the Utah Valley University shooting scene. New York Post


This revelation adds to the profile of Robinson as someone with a history of discussing firearms and shooting skills. Investigators have linked him to the shooting through DNA evidence found on a towel wrapped around the firearm and a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop where the fatal shot was fired. Additionally, a note allegedly found at Robinson's home expressed his intent to target Kirk due to ideological hatred. New York Post

Robinson did engage in online communication during the 33-hour manhunt, including joking messages in a Discord chat about his resemblance to the shooting suspect and referencing details about the ammunition used.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So even though he is refusing to fess up to the police, they got him on material evidence as the killer.
Many criminals refuse to cooperate with investigations, it won't win him any reprieve from justice.

Vile protesters sung the song written on the bullet casings which killed Charlie Kirk at the vigil mourning his death tonight at NYU. They also threatened to kill NYU College Republican Club president Ryan Leonard.

While the Christians are singing spiritual songs, patriotic hymns and some are sharing the gospel.

What doesn't make sense is there were no arrests after someone threatened to murder Ryan Leonard?

Hope they deport the one from Pakistan. Since the other one claims US citizenship, a long prison sentence. They are dangerous.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

2 kids on video hoping the best news ever mom has is a couple dead politicians, guess who.
Now you know why the Bible says there will be accursed children in the last days.
I never understood that before.

Candace Owens said they're lying about Charlie Kirk.
One lie is that he turned against Israel due to the Gaza conflict.
