The SAVE Act: A Step Towards Securing Federal Elections  | Charlie Kirk with Chip Roy

Imagine having the courage to stand back up after an assassin shot you on stage, rather than the rational impulse to remain in cover. And not just stand up, but also having the courage to rally the crowd to “Fight!” as Donald Trump did while under fire. No one, not even Trump’s worst critics, can possibly deny his physical and mental courage in that moment just after he barely missed having his head blown off.

The next day, Trump called on Americans to “fear not” while crediting God with his escape from death. It recalled FDR’s exhortation that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” 

That is what this moment demands of us, too. Do we hug the ground when confronted with evil and wickedness? Do we panic into blind retaliation? Or do we do as Trump did—stand firm, raise our fist, and pledge to fight it?

That moment could well define our character, both individually and as a nation. 


Let’s stand up and fight.

Ed Morrissey: “Fight!”

The news worlds of Republican and Democratic partisans do not overlap much at all anymore. A very small percentage of America watches any single entertainment show at the same time, much less news programs. The Super Bowl and presidential debates are the only events shared in real-time by tens of millions of Americans.

And: Everyone knows what they saw and heard at the debate and those who chose to watch the president’s interview with George Stephanopoulos know what they saw and heard there. Everyone is talking about exactly the same things—a very rare thing these days. 

A huge slice of those people across all ages, backgrounds and political opinions, and especially from different states—both ruby red and deep blue—have the same, deep doubts about the president’s ability to guide the country and the world through to the next inauguration, much less the next four years. 

And: Not just Americans either. Our allies are watching and are worried. Our enemies, too, are calculating.


Biden should do the best thing for the country and step aside now.
