The left descends on Turning Point USA

Over at last few years, people on the left have taken exception to the mission of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Our leftist university campuses in particular have criticized the TPUSA mission, since it advocates conservative and religious values.

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the organization, attempts to ban the organization have grown exponentially. And if they oppose the plans of TPUSA, they have good reason to be worried about maintaining their leftist agenda:

Since [Kirk’s] death, interest in Turning Point USA, the organization he co-founded has grown exponentially.

“In the past 2 weeks, TPUSA has received 121,000+ requests from high school and college students nationwide to start a chapter or get involved with an existing chapter,” the organization posted on X Wednesday.

The attacks on the organization have been vehement and hateful. College campus executives, professors, and students have lied and misrepresented the actions of the organization. Here are some of the fabrications that the left is promoting:

From its inception, TPUSA has sought to be confrontational. One of its most notorious tools, the Professor Watchlist, publishes the names, photos, and alleged offenses of professors the group deems “anti-conservative.” This public shaming campaign has been condemned by educators and civil liberties advocates as a threat to academic freedom and personal safety. In more recent years, TPUSA has expanded its targets beyond individual professors, with initiatives like the School Board Watchlist, designed to stir distrust of public education and stoke fear around diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

You might be interested to learn that the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League (both of which have been discredited by the FBI), and other journalists are leading the efforts to defame TPUSA.

The left seems to prefer “the after school satan club”.

Lord, defend Your people from the attacks of the evil one.

Lord raise up strong leader as when Moses passed you raised up Joshua, amighty warrior. Raise up mighty warrios in Jesus name, amen.

The left always complains when their own tactics are used against them.

If their accusations are ever true.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Americans better keep their firearms ready at all times. The tyrannical fascist far left wingers are acting like they are ready to start a fight. Don’t hesitate to fire back. Keep a close eye on your wife and kids at all times. The far lefties don’t have a problem killing them.

Every day it appears to me what is happening is good vs evil ... final battles or not no one knows but God.

I remember when Rush Limbaugh started.
He was the first pioneer using leftists tactics against them.
It is very often great idea, Charlie was great at it.
It drives them nuts!

The left’s accusations are merely their confessions.

A friend of mine who teaches at a major state university called me last week to tell me about a meeting with the department head. The department head expressed that several students had complained about my friend’s comments on the Thursday immediately following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, claiming it made them feel “unsafe” and “oppressed”.

My friend had fortunately recorded the class and the comments occurred before class started (and sent me the transcript), expressing (1) Kirk’s devotion to open, civil, respectful discourse was exactly what should be happening in college classes and his death represents an extraordinary loss to the academy, and (2) expressing deep sorrow for the world that the students would be facing if nothing changes.

Who complains to a supervisor about sentiments like that? This only reinforced my belief that woke snowflake students have weaponized their manufactured outrage and expressions of faux victimhood to make sure they are never exposed to any opinion or fact that makes them feel bad and to punish those who exhibit wrongthink.
