On Erika, Making Money, and Main Eventing Wrestlemania

Image description: A picture of Erika Kirk on stage at a TPUSA event. Pyro is erupting as she stands on stage in a glittering gold pantsuit. One commenter said, "I am unsure in which grief stage is Erika Kirk." Another commenter responded with, "The grandest stage of them all. The road to Wrestlemania."

Erika Kirk took two to three days to jump to the final stage of grief and keep it movin' after Charlie's unaliving. And now she's out here with the Goldberg pyro, gettin' ready to team up with Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker.

Erika Kirk didn't lose one minute of sleep after her husband's murder. She went right to work, making sure the grift kept grifting and using the hate group/organization he created his wealth off of to keep stacking that hate money.

Hell, there was a booth at the most recent Turning Point USA event in Phoenix this past weekend that was a recreation of the booth her husband was murdered in - for photo ops. PHOTO OPS. I mean, c'mon. Erika ain't got NO FEELINGS of trauma connected to even the idea of that being a thing at the event she's leading? That idea came to her desk and she was like, "We could make money off that."

That right there is quintessentially white supremacist, capitalist, and the personification of the grift mattering more than human lives - even the life of a so-called "beloved" spouse.

But hey, Charlie would've wanted the show to go on, amirite?

I'm sure Charlie would've wanted his wife to step over his body then stand on it to make sure the paper kept comin' in.

You earn the mourning you deserve.

This Week's Opening Thought: December 22, 2025

This week’s opening thought:

"In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.”

- J.D. Vance, vice president of the United States of America and blatant white supremacist.

People of pallor, I’ve gotta ask: Did I miss a memo that stated y’all had to apologize for not being sun-resistant?

Oh, wait - what we’re actually talking about is the centuries of harmful actions and systems you and your ancestors have benefited from.

Got it.

People of pallor and the outright refusal to atone or apologize for oppression, terroristic actions toward non-pallor cultures, colonization, genocide, and chattel slavery go back like spinal cords and car seats. Collectively, pallor has never been willing to atone or apologize for past and present harm. Hell, most of y’all are actin’ like your ancestors, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and even yourselves weren’t benefiting from - or aren't still benefiting from - participating in systems and championing and espousing beliefs that aren’t harmful or dangerous for Black and Brown communities and communities of color in general.

So like I said, did I miss a memo, newsletter, or something else about y’all being forced to apologize for being people of pallor?

Or is that the insecurities and fragility around what you represent and support talking?

This Week's Opening Thought: December 15, 2025

TW: Mentions of mass shootings, assault, murder, domestic terrorism.

This week's opening thought: how horrible does a person have to be for you to not back or support them?

How horrific does a person's words and actions need to be for you to not back or support them, even if you believe you'll receive some kind of benefit from backing and supporting them?

When does a person's words and actions become so vile, so repugnant, that you are unable to disregard, whitewash, or ignore their words and actions, even if ignoring their heinous behavior could lead to you getting some privilege or power you think you deserve?

What's your tipping point?

What is it that someone has to say or do that will make you decide it's something you can't ignore?

Is it when someone you've given your undying devotion to is willfully destroying employment opportunities in your town or city and making it harder to live? Is it when this person tells you that you saying that you're not able to afford to live, survive, and take care of yourself and your family with some comfort is propaganda, even though you know you're being gaslit?

Is it when the person you idolize goes out of their way to minimizie and disregard mass shootings, no matter how many people lose their lives?

Is it when the person you support relishes his ongoing, seemingly gleeful, pursuits of the mass kidnapping of hard-working citizens and their children?

Is it when your messiah openly uses language that empowers their most hateful and violent followers to unnecessarily terrorizing cities and immigrant communities?

Is it when your chosen leader constantly makes fun of people who have been attacked or murdered, especially those he believes are "deranged" for not being on board with his views, actions, and language?

Seriously - what's your tipping point?

And if you back the current president of the United States and you’ve witnessed everything he has said and done - not just in his life but over the past 11 months - and you haven't reached your tipping point yet?

Why does your tipping point have such a high bar?

On Fishback and the Morality Police

Image description: a screenshot of a news posting regarding Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback and allegation of him having an ongoing statutory rape/assault situation with a 16-year old. The news clip tries to paint the situation as a "secret relationship", which multiple commenters immediately debunked and factually stated as statutory rape.

TW: Mentions of pedophilia, hebephilia, ephebophilia, rape, and sexual abuse.

It will forever frustrate and anger me that an entire political party in a country with an archaic two-party system is absolutely loaded with pedophiles, hebephiles, ephebophiles, rapist, sexual predators, hatemongers, and closeted gay, lesbian, and queer individuals who have been indoctrinated by "Christianity" to hate themselves so much they weaponize that hate to harm others.

I'm not even shocked anymore when these creatures are outed for the horrible things they've done or are still doing. This is so normalized in the Republican party, and politics in general, that I'm not as shocked about them anymore as much as I'm shocked about how they keep getting re-elected and how many of y'all - who always stand up as the morality police whenver these horrible people pop up in the news cycle - will defend these creatures when the truth inevitably comes out about who they are.

That part says a lot about how some of y'all are fine with the things these people do as long as you possibly receive a benefit from them being in office.

Just so you know, supporting creatures so you can maintain comfort and privilege? That's also some creature-level behavior.

I mean, you probably don't care, but I wanted to make sure your moral compass got the news so you could navigate through that.

What In The Hell Is Wrong With This Country?: December 2, 2025 Edition

TW: Transphobia.

In today's edition of “What In The Hell Is Wrong With This Country,” I give you Samantha Fulnecky.

From the Huffington Post:

““After Samantha Fulnecky, a University of Oklahoma junior, received a failing grade on an essay, she filed a report with her school alleging that she’s being discriminated against because of her religious beliefs. In response, the school put the instructor who gave her the grade on leave.

In a Thanksgiving Day post, the U of O chapter of Turning Point USA highlighted Fulnecky’s essay and her professor’s response to it. The assignment was to write a reaction to a psychology article on gender stereotypes in middle school students and how it affects their mental health.

In the paper, Fulnecky bases her argument nearly entirely around Christianity and the Bible, arguing that “Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts.” The college junior went on to write that, “Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic.”

Instructor Mel Curth gave the assignment a zero for not addressing the reading. Curth, who TPUSA and other news outlets identified as trans, opened their feedback note to Fulnecky by saying that they were not deducting points because of the student’s beliefs but rather because she did not follow the assignment, contradicted herself, made offensive comments, and did not provide empirical evidence.

The post also included feedback from another instructor, who said she agreed with Curth’s grading and that “[t]his paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment.”

But what should have been a disappointing but not uncommon outcome in an academic setting turned into a referendum on trans people, attacks on the instructor’s gender identity, and higher education.

“We should not be letting mentally ill professors around students,” TPUSA said in a lengthy post. “Clearly this professor lacks the intellectual maturity to set her own bias aside and take grading seriously. Professors like this are the very reason conservatives can’t voice their beliefs in the classroom.””

So now Professor Curth - a person who was just doing their job (and was cosigned by another professor for their assessment of the raggedy-ass paper Samantha's fragile-ass turned in) - has been placed on leave and may lose their job or be forced to apologize and give Samantha a grade that she didn't earn. All while now being endangered by TPUSA's "call out" for the foreseeable future.

This is the future so many of y'all want, isn't it? To never be challenged, to believe you're "white and right" even when you're wrong, hateful, and harmful?

Well, it's a really violent and stupid future that benefits none of us.

And "none of us" includes willfully ignorant, thin-skinned, and devout "Christian" white supremacists like Samantha.
