@NoDMsPerfavore Yes! And putting on a sweater and warm socks then taking them off and putting on a tank top, shorts and sandals and then......

@farmingandJesus This is so tragic. I worked with children with autism. They lack self-awareness. We never lost sight of them. Field trips were very stressful.

[Turning Point USA @TPUSA]

September 10, 2025, changed America’s history forever.

One year ago, our founder, our leader, and our friend, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while doing what he had devoted his life to: standing before young Americans and challenging them to think, to speak, and to have the courage to stand for what they believe.

There are no words that can adequately describe what this past year has been like.

We have had to learn how to carry on without the person who was at the center of everything we do. We have celebrated milestones that Charlie should have been here to celebrate. We have stood on stages where his voice should have been heard. We have watched his children grow without their father there to see it. And we have felt the weight of his absence in ways that never seem to get easier.

For the people who knew and loved Charlie, September 10 will never simply be an anniversary. It is the day our lives were changed forever.

Today, our hearts are especially with Erika, Charlie’s children, the Kirk family, and the countless people who loved him. No organization, movement, or mission can replace what was taken from them. We will never forget the unimaginable loss they continue to carry.

But we also remember Charlie for how he lived.

Charlie’s faith was at the center of who he was. He believed deeply in God and trusted that his life was guided by a meaningful purpose. Charlie’s faith in Christ was his armor, which no assassin could overcome. He believed in life everlasting, and it was this unshakable faith that gave him a courage that was impossible to miss. He was willing to walk into difficult rooms, have uncomfortable conversations, and stand firmly for what he believed because he wanted others to know the hope and truth he had in Jesus. Charlie died a martyr for Christ.

Charlie believed America was worth fighting for, that young people could change the course of a nation, and that speech would only remain free if exercised. Always leading by example, he was fearless in the pursuit of truth—no matter the cost. No one taught this generation how to fight the good fight better than Charlie Kirk.

Turning Point shares those beliefs and will never abandon them. Charlie never gave up, and neither will we. Turning Point will continue to grow and meet milestones that Charlie dreamed of.

Today, we are not focused on the chapter numbers, the headlines, or the accomplishments. Today, we remember an incredible patriot, a husband, a father, and a man whose faith gave him the courage to spend his life serving a purpose he believed was bigger than himself.

We miss him.
We grieve him.
And we will never forget him.

One year later, Turning Point remains committed to carrying forward the work Charlie began.

For Charlie. Always.

@ArlineL0 What I don't understand is that if she was such a hot psychotic mess then why weren't the children removed from the home before she could harm them?

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@NancyMace And a change of venue.

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@GovKathyHochul So when you eventually help them to gain total control, which is their goal, will you prefer to submit to their rules for women or suffer the consequences for non-compliance?

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@ArlineL0 I had a student once with autism that got in his family's boat alone because he wanted to go across Lake Ontario to go to the water park in Canada. Thankfully they stopped him. Very scary.

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@ArlineL0 Darn no more thin mints. Oh well.

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@Sea_Glass1115 Go for it! I have 2 girls. This one talks to me. 😻

[Joyce Barney @jcbarn09]

@BuzzPatterson When we went to our son's graduation from Ft. Jackson there was one kid there without any family. He looked lost and sad, I still remember that.😒
