_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Turning Point USA is seeing unprecedented growth in membership and influence following the assassination of its founder, Charlie Kirk.

The organization has received tens of thousands of requests to launch new chapters, while Kirk’s widow and new TPUSA CEO, Erika, has vowed to continue his mission through campus tours and major conferences.

Conservative leaders and allied organizations have pledged financial and logistical support to help TPUSA continue spreading conservative ideas throughout the culture.

Peaceful, but ardent dialogue, American exceptionalism and civics grounded in our founding documents, and the role that the Bible, and biblical principles, played in the founding of our nation.

Inspiring young people to reclaim their identities , especially young males; learn history & civics; learn manners; grow in selflessness and sacrifice for a greater good: respect and politeness, great foundations for hard dialogues and open debate.

The number of people in attendance at Kirk's memorial is inspiring shows a sign of hope the surge in young people continues. I know that emotions are high right now, but I also know that it will wane going forward. I do wish there will be major pushback against Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who are trying to stem the support for Charlie Kirk simply because he supported Israel.

Continued action through education on the outskirts of colleges and public schools, while calling for coursework with an emphasis on patriotism.

Faith in Jesus Christ snd a firm commitment to His cause is what drove Charlie in his political activism. This should be the continued focus of TPUSA. Political activism is an outgrowth of faith but when it becomes the main focus, it will ultimately lead to division within. We are created for a purpose and that purpose is to glorify our Creator. Only God can save our country. Our Savior will not arrive on Air Force One.

Judeo Christian values. Two parents, two sexes, one God. Our country is trying to make everything okay regardless how absurd. That is tearing us apart. Unchecked diversity is divisive! We must have cohesiveness, commonality, get rid of hyphens, and just be Americans.

Truthfulness! Stay and defend Truthfulness. Listen with two ears, answer with the truth with an open mind, following GOD'S directions and guidance.

One cannot improve on truthfulness, except by continuing to listen to opponents and to gently let them see their logical and assumptional errors. Many issues ARE complex, and we must all be willing to be persuaded by facts and logic. Speaking as a physicist, this is why theory always yields to experiment. There is only idiocy or demagoguery in Obama's statement, "The science is settled".

It seems all issues TPUSA addressed are important to a functional and civil society. I think it's as important that ALL decent US citizens across the nation get behind the very simple, practical, rational and moral standards that Charlie and TP represented. We have to take a stronger stance and actions in this country less we turn it over the degenerates and deranged of society who are anti-American to their core. I always favor diplomacy when possible but only if the other side is capable of reasoning. That time has come and passed to no avail. As Miller implied, it's time to release the dragon in this country upon all who wish her harm and would be as bold as to disrespect and undermine it's founding principles and values. We can't afford to be taking half measures any longer. Peace through Strength..

Perhaps the most central theme would be the positive changes provided to people when they draw closer to God; accepting Jesus’ death on the cross for their sins. The methods may vary, but dialogue and debate are good vehicles. Charlie made use of these to help others see truth.

Whatever the issue, the MOST important thing is to stick to the TRUTH and the FACTS.

Free Speech based on knowledge of civics and biblical wisdom for living a life worth living. The importance of marriage and children as a basis for a healthy society.

Basically the same message Charlie delivered and has always believed. Faith, family and country. Open discussion regarding them and having open and honest discussions.

Christianity. We are being invaded by Islam, which is against our Constitution; there is no equality between men and women. The Koran is full of stuff like 8:65 "O you prophet, provoke the believers to engage in war." " Sura 8:12 "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who became infidels. So strike their necks and chop off every finger of them." Muslims have been victims of this totalitarian political ideology, as have Christians and Jewish people, for 1400 years. It is time - way past time, actually, for us to confront this ideology with truth and love, and firmness.

Erika said on Sunday during her time on stage - "Every decision you make is a mark on your soul." That was powerful statement, I will never forget. Keep telling the truth. The veil of our broken world is falling and people are waking up.

Refute lies and misinformation with the truth at every opportunity. American Civics and Respect must be an integral part of learning, all the way up. Rules of Debate - real debate, should be taught so that logic & reasoning is clearly identified and understood by everyone participating.
