RIP | Right Michigan

Rest in peace, Charlie. Your voice may be silent now—but it echoes still.

We are saddened by the inexplicable loss of Charlie Kirk .. an indomitable force, a culture warrior, and fundamentally, a fine human being whose presence was powerful and whose voice was un-apologetically steadfast.

Charlie was a rare creature in today’s cultural landscape: someone who challenged prevailing norms and called others to do the same—not with quiet neutrality, but with bold conviction. In an era when voices are often diminished, he insisted on being heard .. even if what he said made many uncomfortable. His convictions were rooted in tradition, shaped by faith and family, and radiated through his work with Turning Point USA and beyond.

He encouraged robust debate; he invited scrutiny. His “Prove Me Wrong” table wasn’t just a clever setup ..it was a testament to his belief that strength lies in standing behind what you believe, especially when challenged.

His passing leaves a void in modern cultural discourse. We will miss his fiery intellect, his unapologetic authenticity, and yes, even arguments with him—because they made us think harder, dig deeper, and stand firmer in our own beliefs.

Our hearts ache for his beloved wife, Erika, and their two young children. No public figure, however impactful, can ever replace the role he played in their lives. To them—may you find comfort in the memories you made and the legacy he leaves behind.

May God carry him and bless his family at this time.

You Betcha!

Proposal 15-1 died as it was supposed to, but there is still work to be done.

Assume ‘gloat mode,’ then get back to work.

If anyone thinks it ends here, they have forgotten the lesson of 2013 when we eased up pressure, (if only temporarily) and the governor slammed us with Medicaid expansion. In fact, when looking at the way things happen with this progressive mess in Lansing, scales put it this way to me directly:

“The gross underestimation has only brought a hike in the State Income Tax, Medicaid expansion, retirement pensions being raided, Common Core, 300+ Ghey *marriage* licenses, a quarter of a billion to the Ilitch’s ice rink who vote Democrat, a Detoilet bailout for the DIA, a recapture of control of the state Party via his pal Baird from Chicago and the Rockefeller-wing Romneys, a monolith of a Health Department, a NAFTA Bridge, a cousin with furniture contracts, more slightly faster Amtrak railcars, driver licenses for illegal alien anchor brats, a H1-B visa center operating out of his MEDC, the launch of moonslime Day at the Capital, Boji payola buildings, no-bid Medicaid contracts with moonslimes, a pending abomination of energy policy waiting in the House and Senate, and this goddam ballot proposal, of which, you notice the Nerd ain’t wooing anybody who falls within the Right side of the political spectrum, yes?”

His point can be taken to the bank.

And it will earn interest.
