From a veteran friend of mine.
“Yesterday, Erika Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, forgave the man who killed her husband.
Trump, speaking at the same event says, ‘I hate my opponents.’
Which is a perfect summary of the difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism.
Those who think Trump was chosen by God are Christian Nationalists. They want their enemies destroyed. The stuff Jesus said is only for themselves.” - Neil Gussman
On September 4, Pam Bondi's DOJ obtained a guilty plea from a top aide to Ras Baraka, Al-Tarik Onque, for doing precisely what Tom Homan allegedly took $50K to do.
According to his statement of offense, Onque took $7.5K in bribes.

In 2016, while campaigning, Hillary Clinton said, "You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," and the nation erupted.
The sitting President just said he hates a significant portion of the nation, and we just nod and accept it: “I hate my opponents, and I don’t want the best for them.
@AlliFlowers @Nonilex They're guilty of not making him feel special.
#Trump named #JamesComey, the former #FBI director; Senator #AdamSchiff, Democrat of California; & #LetitiaJames, the New York attorney general, saying he was reading about how they were “all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.”
Asked later by reporters about his message for #PamBondi, Trump said, “They have to act. They have to act fast.”

Trump told the audience at the Kirk memorial in Arizona that he “hates his political enemies” and said “we have to act fast” but lying that he was wrongly impeached and indicted.
#Trump demanded on Saturday that his AG move quickly to prosecute figures he considers his enemies, the latest blow to the #DOJ’s tradition of independence.
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation & credibility,” Trump wrote in a social media post addressed to “Pam,” meaning US AG #PamBondi. “They impeached me twice, & indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
---
Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

An alternative interpretation: MAGA is fracturing into gang warfare.
Charlie Kirk was murdered by an associate of a rival gang acting as radicalized proxies for moneyed elites competing for leadership in a fascist movement.

Gang warfare shares a lot of features with competitive oligarchic authoritarianism.

Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes are opposite ends of the white supremacist pipeline. Nick Fuentes made a career out of attacking Charlie Kirk. His followers have been showing up at Charlie Kirk events to physically intimidate him for years now.
Nick Fuentes reacted the way stochastic terrorists always do. He did the "I condemn this" dance, and as soon as the dust settles, he will select another conservative target to complain about not being extreme enough.
I have submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for all video evidence & documents created in the investigation of Border Czar Tom Homan & his acceptance of $50K in bribes for favorable government contracts. Kash Patel says the case was closed due to no evidence of criminal behavior. Accordingly, he should have no hesitation releasing innocuous footage & docs.
