Candace Owens announced on Monday that her show would be back on the air beginning Wednesday with a new “investigative series” targeting Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, eliciting an abundance of horrified reactions.
The teaser trailer for the series shared by Owens on X begins with news coverage about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but quickly transitions to clips of its subject, as well as critical commentary about her, “Zionists,” and Israel. There’s even a implication that the Turning Point USA CEO is implicated in a Romanian human trafficking scandal.
The series is titled “Bride of Charlie,” and its promotional banner depicts Erika wearing a crown.
Owens, who has promoted a wide variety of conspiracy theories about her former colleague’s death, had initially said she would stop if Erika asked her to. Over time, however, Owens began to subtly, and then outright suggest that the widow might have been involved in a conspiracy to betray her husband.
In the hours since Owens began to publicize her new project, much of the internet has united in disgust at her and those who have run cover for her.
“Everyday, there’s some new line being crossed by this lunatic that makes me wonder whether certain people will finally speak up,” mused RedState’s Bonchie. “They won’t, though. Not even this will be enough, and it’s probably time to start asking why they are so invested in Owens.”
“What would Charlie have to say about this? And what would he think of his so-called friends who can’t summon the courage to say it for him?” wondered The Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon.

This didn’t start with Charlie’s death. She’s been spouting insane fantasies for profit for years.
Parlement Technologies, the former parent company of the conservative social media platform Parler, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware in April 2024, reporting up to $50 million in liabilities.
agreed
That is true but this one, surrounding Kirk, is particularly gross.
I’m no fan of Erika but this speculation is filthy.
It’s not factually grounded, self-serving and hurtful speculation.
Civilized people don’t pull the trigger on such nastiness and filth without knowing it to be factual.
She has proved herself to be a bottom feeder with this conspiracy shop.
well, he’s apparently worth many millions regardless.
I don’t give a rats ass about their opinions of me or Candace. People can have good information on topics that I don’t. That’s why I read the comments to see if any FReepers (who are typically pretty smart) have information that I don’t have.
When I see every post is just making personal attacks, it leads me to believe they don’t actually have any information.
It does strike me as odd that people who are often the victims of the ad hominem attacks usually have one shared opinion in common. And those making the ad hominem arguments also often have a certain trait in common.
The more pay attention, the more I notice it.
“I’m no fan of Erika but this speculation is filthy.”
Ditto.
The week that Candace is slammed with lawsuits from TPUSA, Erika, Mikey McCoy, Netanyahu, et al., is going to be awesome. (They’re probably waiting for the actual killer’s trial to en.)
“Owens, pity the insignificant woman looking for relevance, very dangerous.”
Owens, pity the SCORNED woman looking for REVENGE, very dangerous.
Candance Owens used to be interesting and fun to listen to. She’s become absolutely vile. Either she really believes the bat-sh*t crazy conspiracy theories she peddles or she knows it’s all nonsense and pushes it anyway so she can feed her crazy audience. Either way, she is doing evil.
Owen never red pilled, she black pilled.
That premise is simply illogical in the light of her numerous well-known dubious and refuted claims. It is in the light of which (including:https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4366161/posts?page=1 https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4363517/posts https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4358725/posts https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4354150/posts https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4362491/posts https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4368106/posts?page=1 that all you seen are aspersions to her character and or content. But if you need some of her claims:
1. Macron‑Brigitte “conspiracy + identity theft” claims (featured on FreeRepublic)
Claim:
Brigitte Macron is not a woman; she was born male and “transitioned,” she and Emmanuel Macron are blood relatives, and he is using a stolen identity; this is the “biggest political scandal in history.”britannica+1
Refutation / status:
The Macrons have filed a defamation lawsuit (Delaware, 2025), arguing these are demonstrably false, built on recycled internet rumors, and unsupported by evidence.clarelocke+1
Civil‑records and biographical data show Brigitte Macron is a woman born in 1953; no credible investigation backs the “male identity” or “relatives” claims.pbs+1
Status: Conspiracy‑theoretic, defamatory, and legally challenged.
2. “Emmanuel and Brigitte ordered an assassination plot against her”
New FreeRepublic‑highlighted claim:
Owens alleges French President Emmanuel Macron ordered an assassination plot against her, with Israeli‑operative involvement, and has supplied no evidence.wikipedia+1
Refutation:
Official sources in France, Israel, and the U.S. have not substantiated any such plot.[en.wikipedia]
Critics and antisemitism‑watchers treat this as a reheated conspiracy trope linking Israel, elites, and “traitors,” with no factual basis.adl+1
Status: Unsubstantiated conspiracy; no evidence, and echoing dangerous antisemitic and anti‑elite motifs.
3. Charlie Kirk assassination conspiracy theories (massively expanded on FreeRepublic threads)
a) “TPUSA / Israel plotted Charlie Kirk’s death”
Claim (FreeRepublic‑blog/f‑chat threads):
Turning Point USA, Israeli‑linked actors, and “zionist‑military” forces orchestrated or enabled Kirk’s assassination.ctc.westpoint+1
Calvary Chapels are military‑psych‑ops designed to manipulate Christians into supporting Israel and to facilitate the killing.adl+1
Refutation / context:
No credible investigation has linked TPUSA, Israel, or churches to the killing; the claims rely on circumstantial tinfoil‑like reasoning (e.g., “military background = operation”).ctc.westpoint+1
A free‑Republic blogger explicitly calls this “height of absurdity,” “delusional anti‑Israel ideology,” and “gross negligence and defamation” toward Jack Hibbs and Calvary Chapels.[ctc.westpoint]
Status: Refuted by fact‑based commentators and treated as malignant conspiracy‑defamation.
b) “Charlie Kirk was a time‑traveler controlled by agents”
Claim (FreeRepublic f‑chat 4362491):
Owens suggests Charlie Kirk was a time‑traveler, with “agents” monitoring him since childhood to “change an outcome,” and killed because he tried to disturb the “space‑time continuum.”[ctc.westpoint]
Refutation:
These ideas are purely speculative and science‑fiction‑like, with no evidence.
Commenters on FreeRepublic note this looks like incipient insanity‑defense posturing rather than rational analysis.[ctc.westpoint]
Status: Not even a “dubious claim”—it functions as a fictional, attention‑driven narrative with no factual anchor.
c) Plaintiffs and legal pushback (TPUSA, Macrons)
Fact:
Turning Point USA has sent Owens a cease‑and‑desist based on an NDA from her speaking contract, alleging she defamed the organization for far longer than allowed.[ctc.westpoint]
TPUSA and the Macrons argue that even when they shared evidence correcting her, she downplayed it and continued spreading false narratives.wikipedia+1
Status: Not just a “refuted claim” but a claim that has prompted legal action and public‑reputation damage.
4. “Something biochemical happens to unmarried women”
Claim:
Something “bio‑chemically happens” to women who don’t marry or have children, and she cites Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, and Kathy Griffin as evidence.[en.wikipedia]
Refutation:
No medical or scientific literature supports a universal biochemical change tied to marital status.
The claim is widely treated as pseudoscience and gender‑essentialist stereotyping with no data.nupoliticalreview+1
Status: Biological speculation with no empirical basis.
5. Planned Parenthood “79% in minority neighborhoods” + eugenics
Claim:
79% of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods and this is eugenic by design from Margaret Sanger.politifact+1
Refutation:
The 79% figure is misleading or misapplied; location patterns are driven mainly by need and access [supply and demand], not race‑based extermination.[politifact]
Historians and demographers reject the direct [key word] line between Sanger’s eugenics and modern Black‑abortion patterns.wikipedia+1
Status: Misrepresented statistics + over‑simplified history.
6. “Abortion is black‑baby extermination” / “extermination of black babies”
Claim:
Abortion = “extermination of black babies,” and Planned Parenthood is intentionally targeting Black communities.nupoliticalreview+1
Refutation:
Black‑population abortion rates highlight deep cultural and structural ruptures, especially the rise of fatherless homes and welfare dependence since the 1960s, which the welfare‑state Left entrenches, rather than a morally neutral ‘health‑care‑access’ story.”
Status: Moral exaggeration rooted in data‑misuse and alarmism.
7. Southern strategy denial
Claim:
The Republican “Southern strategy” did not happen; it is a “myth.”[en.wikipedia]
Refutation:
Political historians widely agree the Southern strategy was real: the GOP deliberately appealed to white Southern voters using racially coded language and policy.britannica+1
Her testimony is cited as historical revisionism in mainstream biographical sketches.britannica+1
Status: Historically refuted.
8. “Talmudic Jew” / holding up The Talmudic Jew (August Rohling)
Claim (FreeRepublic f‑bloggers 4358725):
Owens calls Ben Shapiro a “Talmudic Jew”, encourages viewers to read August Rohling’s The Talmudic Jew (1871), and implies the Talmud is a manual of anti‑Christian hatred and swindling Gentiles.[adl]
Refutation:
Rohling’s book is recognized as a notorious anti‑Jewish polemic, built on medieval libels and out‑of‑context quotes.[adl]
Antisemitism watchers treat this as reviving blood‑libel‑style tropes and explicitly call it antisemitic incitement.wikipedia+1
Status: Antisemitic and libelous rhetoric, not a “neutral critique.”
9. Jack Hibbs / Calvary Chapels “assassination‑plot‑linked military‑cult”
Claim (FreeRepublic 4354150):
Jack Hibbs and Calvary Chapels are linked to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Calvary Chapels are an invention of the military, a psych‑op to manipulate Christians into supporting Israel.[ctc.westpoint]
Refutation:
The blogger explicitly calls this “height of absurdity,” “delusional anti‑Israel ideology,” and “defamation.”[ctc.westpoint]
Historical documentation of the Calvary Chapel movement and Kirk’s own pro‑Zionist stance undercut Owens’s narrative.adl+1
Status: Conspiracy‑defamation grounded in thin or fictionalized evidence.
10. “Israel is the root of global jihadist hatred”
Thematic pattern (FreeRepublic‑style critique):
Owens often frames the Gaza war and Israel–West relations as the core catalyst of militant Islam’s hatred, implicitly suggesting that removing Israel or U.S. support for Israel would dramatically reduce Islamic‑radical anger.adl+1
Refutation (from our earlier geopolitical discussion):
Militant‑Islamist and Iran‑Russia agendas are much broader than Israel; jihadist groups target the U.S. and the West even where Israel is not central.responsiblestatecraft+2
Thus, blaming everything on Israel is reductionist and ignores the wider ideological and geopolitical drivers.stimson+1
Status: Oversimplification and false‑causality in explaining global jihad.
11. COVID‑19 death‑count / “CDC lying about flu‑deaths”
Claim:
The CDC “plummeted” flu deaths in 2020 and replaced them with COVID deaths, thus inflating the pandemic’s toll.firstamendment.mtsu+1
Refutation:
Fact‑checkers rejected the claim as false or misleading; CDC’s methodology and broader data do not support the idea of a massive substitution scam.[firstamendment.mtsu]
Courts dismissed her defamation suit against the fact‑checkers, noting their labels did not meet the high bar for defamation.[firstamendment.mtsu]
Status: False or misleading claim adjudicated by fact‑checkers and the judiciary.
Do you really not understand how YouTube personalities get rich, sometimes EXTREMELY rich?
And yes, of course people grieve differently. Are you incapable of understanding anything that’s different from YOU and YOUR ways?
People like Owens always eventually show themselves as what they really are, even to their naive ‘true believers’. Their egotism and arrogance finally get the best of them. It will happen with Owens, too.
LOL! I never heard the one about women who never marry and have children.
I guess all the Catholic nuns are ‘biochemically crazy’...
1 Tim 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
How is she evil?
Actually that charge was who "don’t marry or have children," meaning it is having children that is the key aspect. Which likely is surmised in the light of the number of childless women SJW.
Yet,
Short answer: Yes, whether or not a woman has children can show up in epigenetic “aging” markers, but the effect is small, population‑level, and mixed with lots of other factors (like socioeconomic status, stress, and health behaviors). It does not mean that being childless is “biologically broken” or that having children “fixes” a woman’s body.
1. What “epigenetics” means here
Epigenetics refers to chemical tags on DNA and histones (methylation, acetylation, non‑coding RNA) that regulate how genes are expressed, without changing the DNA sequence itself.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
Epigenetic clocks (like Horvath, Hannum, DunedinPoAm) estimate biological age from these patterns, and accelerated epigenetic aging is associated with higher disease and mortality risk.pnas+1
2. What the data say about childlessness and biological age
Recent large‑scale and twin‑cohort studies show:
Both no children and very many children correlate with slightly faster epigenetic aging and higher mortality risk, compared with having 2–3 children at a moderate age.nature+2
Nulliparous women (never had children) showed about 1 year more accelerated aging, and women with the highest number of children showed the largest acceleration, even after adjusting for known risk factors.lifespan+1
So:
Childlessness is associated with slightly faster biological aging, but
So is having a very large family; it’s not a simple “good vs. bad” pattern.eurekalert+1
Mechanically, pregnancy is energetically expensive: it can promote protective effects (e.g., reduced breast‑cancer risk) but also accelerate some aspects of aging at the epigenetic level.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
3. Why you can’t draw simple moral or value‑laden conclusions
The observed epigenetic differences are population‑level averages, not deterministic rules for any one woman.nature+1
Social, economic, and psychological factors (stress, loneliness, poverty, health‑care access, lifestyle) are strongly linked to both childbearing choices and epigenetic age, so correlation ≠ causation.eurekalert+1
Some studies find that genetic variants associated with “genetic burden” are slightly more common in childless people, but this is a tiny piece of the picture compared to choice, relationships, education, and opportunity.sanger+1
So:
Epigenetics suggests that motherhood and family structure can nudge biological aging one way or another,
but it does not translate into a clear “moral‑physiological mandate” about women’s worth or calling.
4. In your theological and sociological frame
You already argue that family‑structure collapse (fatherlessness, welfare dependence, spiritual decline) plays a huge role in vulnerability and social harm. That’s consistent with the data:
Social stress, broken family structures, and economic precarity all correlate with accelerated biological aging and higher disease risk.nature+1
So you can say:
Epigenetics confirms that relational and structural realities (including family stability and dependence) leave a measurable biological imprint,
but it does not support claims that women are “biologically incomplete” without children, nor that childless women are “damaged” in a moral sense.lifespan+1
My next question is how can epigenetic changes in parents affect children, despite have parents genes
- perplexity.aiEven though children inherit fixed DNA sequences from their parents, epigenetic changes in the parents can still influence the child’s development and health. This happens because epigenetics is about how genes are used, not about changing the underlying genetic code itself.
Core idea
Parents pass DNA (the sequence) unchanged to the child.
But they can also pass epigenetic marks (chemical tags on DNA or histones, and small RNAs in sperm and egg) that reshape how those genes are expressed in the developing embryo and beyond.science+1
So the child gets the parents’ genes, but with a “settings layer” on top that can nudge risk for stress‑response, metabolism, behavior, and disease.
How parental epigenetics reaches the child
Germline epigenetics (sperm and egg)
Experiences like stress, malnutrition, toxins, or trauma can alter DNA methylation, histone modifications, and small non‑coding RNAs in a parent’s sperm or egg.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
When that sperm fertilizes an egg, these altered epigenetic patterns help shape early embryonic gene expression, affecting brain development, metabolism, and stress systems.science+1
In‑utero environment (mother’s body)
The mother’s stress hormones, nutrition, immune state, and toxin exposure affect the placental epigenome and the fetal epigenome inside the womb.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
These changes can persist after birth and influence the child’s mental health, metabolism, and stress regulation.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
Early postnatal care and family environment
How parents interact with the infant (nurturing, neglect, abuse, socioeconomic stress) can continue to shape brain‑epigenetic patterns, especially in systems regulating emotion and stress.childandfamilyblog+1
Key features of this influence
Multigenerational, but not permanent
Adverse experiences can “tag” genes in ways that increase risk for mental‑health and metabolic problems in offspring, and sometimes even grand‑offspring, but these marks can also be modified by later environments (e.g., good care, therapy, stable homes).sciencedirect+2
Small, probabilistic effects
Epigenetic differences linked to parental experiences usually tilt risk, not guarantee outcomes. They interact with genetics, environment, and choices over a lifetime.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
Does not override free will or moral responsibility
Epigenetics shows that broken or stressed family systems can leave a measurable biological imprint on children,
but it does not reduce the child to a deterministic “puppet” of those marks; nurture, faith, relationships, and lifestyle can reshape gene expression over time.scientificamerican+1
In your theological and cultural‑declension framework
You’ve argued that spiritual and cultural decline (fatherlessness, broken families, welfare dependence, secularization) damages individuals and communities. Epigenetics gives a biological channel for that damage:
Toxic stress, family instability, and poverty leave epigenetic “biological memories” that can affect children’s brain‑development, stress‑response, and health.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
But at the same time, the reversibility of many epigenetic marks is a scientific sign of hope:
God‑honoring stability, strong family‑like relationships, and nurturing environments can partially heal or counteract some of this biological legacy.sciencedirect+1
So NO Tallywhacker?
basically she is functioning as an Islamist plant, as is Tucker Carlson. The gravest threat currently going is the islamist insurgency in this country, called the red-green allince.See Mamdani. if that’s not crushed out of existence by Constitutional means in very short order, we’re going the way of Europe. Candace Owens is beyound a fellow traveller. It doesn’t even matter what Erika Kirk is or isn’t.
