Keith D Trestrail Poet Political Verse

Notes About The Poem

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

The media are so desperately trying to gaslight you that the shooter is a right wing extremist who thought Charlie Kirk wasn’t “far right” enough. Because the cowardly assassin was raised in a Republican home with conservative parents who support the 2nd Amendment they want you believe this was MAGA killing their own. 

What the fake news media omit is the killer is a troubled young man in a relationship with a trans man who was radicalised to hate Christian conservatives like Kirk. Well, Charlie Kirk didn’t hate trans people or anybody else. I see all the haters and cowards on this website and on social media trying to defend the indefensible. The only place I’ve seen that level of delusion and derangement is in a cult.

Charlie Kirk would probably have been President one day, but much more than that, he would have been a great father and leader and force for good. You killed the man but his legacy will be felt for a very long time. 

Not one building has been set on fire, not one store looted, not one riot, and not one person murdered in the aftermath. Compare that to George Floyd. That’s the difference between us and them. And they call MAGA white supremacists and claim they are the biggest threat to America. Open your eyes.

Gershon Wolf November 6, 2025 at 7:06 PM Great comparison there, Keith. I was so dis-gusted by that phony George Floyd uprising, paid for and ignited by George Soros and the rest of the trouble-makers. BLM = Beasts Love Meat, and DEI = Didn't Earn It. Faith and Strength, Gershon

John Read September 17, 2025 at 7:29 AM His passing will inspire another thousand Charlie Kirk's. Keith D Trestrail September 17, 2025 at 3:54 PM Sometimes it only takes one man/woman to spark a revolution.

Krishika Upadhyay September 15, 2025 at 8:44 PM This is a powerful and intense reflection on current events and media narratives. Thank you for sharing it with us. Keith D Trestrail September 16, 2025 at 12:49 AM Thank you, Krish. His death and the reaction to it in some quarters says a lot about how sick and grotesque his revilers are.

Rob Carmack September 15, 2025 at 8:12 AM At first, it does make us angry, in both the actual assassination and the subsequent character assassinations that follow. But then I realize that they are so consumed by hate that only God can help them. If it is the case of Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” then they have no hope. Not saying this out of pride, but humble in my thoughts and reactions. Arlo Parker September 24, 2025 at 10:16 PM Nothing new under the “fallen” sun. Charlie is with his Lord and his servant heart will be reflected in myriad, mysterious ways. Keith D Trestrail September 15, 2025 at 3:20 PM So true, Rob. I’m a bit of a firebrand and sometimes my message gets lost in the smoke and dust. That’s the difference between me and Charlie. He could debate with these loons all day but after five minutes I just lose it. What the world needs desperately is more Charlie Kirks whichever side of politics you support. He was a man of peace and they killed him for it.

John Lawless September 14, 2025 at 7:24 AM It would seem that all the assassin/murderers are deeply troubled young men or women. I am a deeply troubled old man who almost didn't comment for fear of offending the "deeply troubled". Keith D Trestrail September 14, 2025 at 3:30 PM We have our fair share of those on the Soup. Troubled or just dumb. They keep calling “us” Nazis and fascists yet when they kill (or in Trump’s case, try to kill) one of us we hold prayer vigils but if some drug crazed violent criminal with a heart condition and a lethal dose of fentanyl resists arrest and dies it’s a summer of rioting and killing. Well, I think I know who the real fascists are. I’m damn sure I know who the threat to democracy are. Chalk another trans related leftist act of political hate and violence up to the Democrats. They must be so proud!
