Deeply concerning to see so many military and civilian members celebrating the assassination of a political appointee of the War Department.
Especially the assassin was in contact with an organization with a known nexus to foreign terrorist organizations.

The Department has any number of tools at its disposal to get to the bottom of this.
From the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (@DCSAgov) to the Service law enforcement and counterintelligence elements, to the National Security Agency, there are tools.

@DCSAgov Critically: the assassinated hero, Charlie Kirk was very, very close to the President of the United States.
We need to know if these War Department members are part of an organization that seeks the violent (e.g. assassination) overthrow of the United States Government.

America can either (1) celebrate public service in America, or we can (2) "reward friends and punish enemies."
But look around. The Left, and therefore, all the major institutions, are doing the second.
The right needs to recognize this and act accordingly.

Let's level set. Fmr. Dir. Easterly:
> Obama appointee
> Biden appointee
> Initiated + covered up the largest organized censorship operation in American history
> Vocal critic of the current Commander in Chief
So: Why offer former Director Easterly a job at West Point?

Retiring from senior public service previously meant board seats, University sinecures and book advances.
Today, the left has locked down nearly every major institution in the United States. And those things are only for their "friends."
The media is filled with bad people. We know this. Talking about your parents and their jobs (an implicit threat) is trash behavior.
But — and I can speak from experience — there is a bright side.
I can speak to this from experience:
A few thoughts in no particular order:
1) Most people don't read. They'll see the photo, think it looks cool, and move on.
2) The article for the 1% who will read it is a Rorschach test. Your fans (myself included) see a portrait of a curious, driven, smart, talented guy...
John Adams. Born in Massachusetts in 1735 to Puritan parents, he did well in school and entered Harvard in 1751. While there, he studied law and politics.
Admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1758, Adams began practicing law.

Adams was inspired by James Otis's legal arguments against Writs of Assistance, which allowed British officials so search colonial homes without justification or notice.
Otis's public actions emboldened the young Adams to take up the cause of liberty.
Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette, the "Marquis de Lafayette."
French nobleman. Military officer. Veteran of the American and French revolutions. Co-author of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
1/7
Born into the French nobility, Gilbert – who would inherit the title "Marquis de Lafayette" from his father – took an early military commission. At twenty, after marrying (well), he purchased a ship and set sail for America laden with arms. He aimed to join the Revolution.

Lafayette made landfall in South Carolina then made his way to Philadelphia.
With support of Benjamin Franklin, the newly appointed envoy to France, he was commissioned into the Continental Army as a Major General in July of 1777.

Today we will talk about George Mason, whose 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights inspired the Bill of Rights.
1/7
Mason was born in 1732 in Fairfax County; today it's a suburb of Washington, but when his ancestors settled there, it was the frontier. They were Cavaliers, rewarded for their Loyalty to the crown with land, and built plantations upon which they raised cash crops.

Without much infrastructure, most transportation in Colonial Virginia was by river, and his father died when his boat overturned in a storm when George was nine.
After years of private education, he inherited the family estates and responsibilities.
