WTF? Who is this Erika Kirk weirdo, other than the Charlie Kirk’s widow and a former Miss Arizona? She’s now going to be in charge of Turning Point USA, which is great — she’s going to eventually kill the organization, so more power to her. But now…

Donald Trump has appointed Erika Kirk, the widow of murdered rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, to a key advisory board of the US Air Force Academy.

No mention of her qualifications or why she was even considered for the position. It’s just part of Trump’s general policy of packing all kinds of positions with clowns, incompetents, and grifters. Look who else is serving on this advisory board:

Other people appointed by the president in March 2025 include the Republican Alabama US senator Tommy Tuberville, and Dina Powell, who was deputy national security adviser for strategy during the first Trump administration.

A number of Congress members from both parties make up the bulk of the rest of the panel, which includes two other Republican US senators elevated by John Thune, the chamber’s majority leader; they are Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, named recently as Trump’s pick to replace the fired homeland security secretary Kristi Noem.

In other words, the Air Force Academy is simply a dumping ground for every failed twit in the Republican party. They claim that their role is to inquire “into the morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods and other matters” of the Colorado Springs military training facility,” whatever that means. The clue, though, is Colorado Springs, the notorious center of televangelist/religious nutjobbery in the country.

I know that Candace Owens is spinning a whole set of conspiracy theories about Kirk. I don’t need to hear about them.
