What Happened Today – 10 Sept 2025
I was in the middle of writing today’s update and stopped and won’t be covering any topics today.
Trump has gone online and declared Charlie Kirk dead after the shooting at Utah Valley University. Kirk was shot in the neck while doing what he does—out there with his “Prove Me Wrong” tour, debating college kids in the open, and minutes later, the country learned about it from Trump himself. The news itself is gutting, confirming our worst fears faster than the police or doctors could do their press briefings. All the praying in the world can’t undo a bullet.
This is outrage. This is heartbreak. This is another example of just how far off the rails America has gone. Killing each other cannot—and never will be—the answer. Right as the Kirk news hit, more blood was spilled at Evergreen High, three kids in critical condition, panic all over, parents not knowing if their children were dead or alive, and nobody sure if the threat was even over. Active shooters are a sick part of our reality and will keep being one unless we actually start providing solutions instead of cutting them.
Mental health? Guns? Yes, both are the problem and one only feeds the other when politicians rip out therapists, counselors, and nurses from schools and slash Medicaid, leaving millions without any lifeline. The hypocrisy is painfully obvious—how dare anyone shout “mental health!” while gutting the very services that give people a fighting chance. More than 80% of school districts have cut health staff in the past year; 70% report slashed mental health services. Medicaid cuts are leaving 16 million people out in the cold. That’s kids and families, right here, right now.
This will divide us more—there’s no denying it—especially with Kirk’s politics being so central. But if we could only get it together and do things for the greater good, maybe one day tragedy like this wouldn’t headline America. The dream hasn’t changed: people just want to be safe, raise their families, and live well.
I genuinely don’t have words. I’m heartbroken. I feel defeated. I feel overwhelmed. I don’t want to be out in public. Violence isn’t and won’t ever be the answer.
Speak Truth! Keep speaking TRUTH!
