Something is deeply wrong in our nation’s cities. It’s not just the crime or the grime; it’s a rot in the very soul of these places, a void where logic and morality used to be. Forces of pure chaos are working overtime to tear down every pillar of order and tradition, and they’re hell-bent on leaving nothing but anarchy in their wake.

But in times of great trial, the true character of a people is revealed. When the foundations seem to be shaking, it is often the quiet courage of ordinary citizens that shines the brightest. A single flame of defiance, lit in the face of overwhelming hostility, can become a beacon of hope, reminding us that the spirit that built this nation has not been extinguished.

From The Post Millennial:

Tensions flared outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland on Saturday as Antifa agitators squared off with federal law enforcement. Then an unexpected development occurred. A group of demonstrators arrived carrying a massive painting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

As the left-wing agitators confronted federal agents, this new group of patriots stood as a line of support. They began to sing “God Bless the USA,” their voices rising above the discord. They were not there to provoke a fight, but to defend the rule of law and honor the memory of a fallen conservative warrior.

Patriots Answer the Call

While one crowd—you know the type—seethed with its usual manufactured rage, something different happened. Americans who still love their country showed what real resolve looks like. They weren’t a mob; they were a testament to civic courage, supporting the federal officers who are so often abandoned by Portland’s own city leadership.

Their actions were symbolic and deeply meaningful. The massive painting of Charlie Kirk, fist raised in defiance against a backdrop featuring a Christian cross, served as their banner. In the face of nihilistic anger, they brought symbols of faith and patriotism. And as they stood their ground, a chant began to ripple through the crowd: “We are Charlie Kirk.”

Anarchy in the Streets, Inaction From City Hall

And if you want a perfect snapshot of the reality in these blue-city disasters, look no further than what happened to Daviscourt. She is not just reporting on the violence; she has been a victim of it, and a victim of the city’s dereliction of duty. While covering a similar riot, she was viciously attacked by an Antifa militant.

“Today, I am sitting here with a black eye and a concussion after being violently hit in the face with a metal pole while reporting outside the ICE facility,” she recounted. “I immediately went to three Portland police officers who refused to detain the suspect… I was waiting for Portland police to come and they never came.” Spoiler alert: in cities like Portland, they rarely do.

This is the reality: violent extremists are given free rein while law-abiding citizens are left defenseless. It is this vacuum of leadership that the patriots in Portland stepped in to fill, offering moral support to federal agents who stand as the last line of defense against total anarchy.

So yes, the soul of our nation is being tested. The real question is, who are we going to be? The patriots in Portland showed us the way. They reminded us that the spirit of Charlie Kirk, and the millions of Americans like him, lives on—not in statues, but in action. They showed that the response to hate is not fear, but faith. The answer to chaos is not retreat, but courage.

• Charlie Kirk’s legacy inspires a growing, faith-based conservative movement.
