In a poignant moment, Erika Kirk, wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, posted a tweet at 16:45 UTC (10:45 AM MST) on September 10, 2025, citing Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” This message came just hours before her husband was fatally shot in the neck during a student Q&A at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, around 12:20 p.m. MST.
The assassination, described by Utah Governor Spencer Cox as a “political assassination,” has sparked widespread grief and outrage, with over 100,000 X posts offering prayers and condolences. Erika’s tweet, a beacon of faith amid personal tragedy, reflects a coping mechanism noted by the American Psychological Association to reduce acute stress by up to 30% in crises.
The FBI has since confirmed an arrest, amid ongoing investigations into this escalating wave of U.S. political violence.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the
layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
