I'm going to admit something I didn't know much at all about: Charlie Kirk. Yet we have a tragedy that shakes the foundations of our republic, and the open-borders, deep-state lobby is already clutching their pearls, whispering about "divisive rhetoric" while the real villains slink into the shadows.
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old firebrand who built Turning Point USA from a garage dream into a grassroots juggernaut, was gunned down this week—assassinated on stage at Utah Valley University, a single bullet silencing the voice that rallied a generation against the rot of wokeism and globalist betrayal. This isn't just a loss; it's a clarion call.
As memorials bloom from Berlin to London to backyards across America, Turning Point USA is stepping up with a massive public service at Arizona's State Farm Stadium on September 21—a fitting arena for an American legend who fought like a gladiator for faith, family, and freedom.
Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend.

Let's talk about it, because the facts cut through the fog like Kirk himself used to on his broadcasts. Charlie Kirk, husband, father, and founder of TPUSA at just 18, cut down at just 31 while speaking truth to power by a brutal assassination plot, was pronounced dead at Timpanogos Regional Hospital after a sniper's shot through his neck that ended his life mid-sentence on Wednesday, in Orem, Utah. Echoes of that fateful day are still reverberating. He died at a university campus, ground zero for the battles he waged against campus radicals and their enablers because men like Kirk expose the underbelly of the deliberate dereliction that lets chaos reign, from border invasions to cultural erasure. How did he do it? By talking to people on the left to try to reach common ground. Yet that killshot to the neck, make no mistake, is one part of the symptoms of a diseased nation where courage gets you a target on your back.
I will do everything in my power to me there. Thank you!

Turning Point USA's response? Pure class, pure defiance. They're packing State Farm Stadium— home of the Cardinals, capacity 63,400 and expandable for the faithful — with doors opening at 8 a.m. and the program kicking off at 11 a.m. on Sunday, the 21st. First come, first served, by registering at fightforcharlie.com if you want in on this somber send-off. And get this: President Donald Trump, the man Kirk championed as the bulldozer against Biden and his fellow villains, is set to attend. It's poetic: Two warriors — one is the leader of this country, one is now a guardian angel from above.
JUST IN: A massive memorial service for Charlie Kirk has been announced at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on September 21.

As TPUSA re-posted on X, "A Life of Faith, A Legacy That Endures: Charlie Kirk, an American legend." Their tribute nails it: "His values were timeless American ones: Honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play."
His sacrifice will endure as a guiding light for generations. Kirk showed a generation that truth must never be silenced, that courage is contagious, and that freedom must be protected at all costs. Remember, Charlie is no different from you and me: a son of the heartland, building an empire of young conservatives who reject the left's hysterical hand-wringing for the rule of law and common sense.

While the media bickers back and forth, parsing "motives" to deflect from the real cancer—years of anti-American indoctrination and unchecked violence—events like this reaffirm what's worth fighting for.
Vigils are being held, from Utah students praying for his Christian legacy to overseas tributes in Berlin and London and South Korea. That's the real American exceptionalism rising, not cowering. The choice could not be clearer. Kirk's assassination isn't isolated; it's the bloody fruit of extreme, leftist, insane minds that prioritize illegals over citizens, radicals over patriots.
Biden's dereliction didn't just flood our streets; it emboldened the assassins who hate what Charlie stood for: unapologetic love for God, country, and the unborn. As the memorial site echoes Matthew 25:23—"Well done, good and faithful servant." We owe it to him to channel that fire. Show up in Arizona if you can, or light your own vigil. Follow the lead of TPUSA and Trump: honor the fallen by doubling down. Nothing can bring him back, but his light burns bright, a beacon for the battles ahead. Godspeed, brother Kirk, have a seat at the bar next to Andrew Breitbart and have a drink on me.
