"The Golden Age in America is here"

This weekend in Tampa Florida, the sparks all truly flew – igniting and uniting our great newfound assemblage of American Leadership with 7,000 bright - and wide-eyed members of Our American Youth.
The young men, the young ladies all came “impeccably well dressed. “ It felt almost as if these thousands of young, well put together people got somehow transported “Back To The Future “ from some sort of 1940’s Elegance styled Era.
The young men were all mostly clean cut, hair combed, walking upright with heads held high in fitted suits. Most appeared to be walking with both prose and purpose.
The young ladies in attendance were dressed so elegantly. Total class. Dresses. Heels. Perfectly put together hair and walking with that very same prose and purpose.
They all walked with a sort of confidence, a bright eyed vigor, an esteem. They appeared to all be here with a purpose. Searching.
Perhaps for their chance at The American Dream.
Understanding the Shift
Political Awareness vs. Political Action
As the crowd of these 7,000 fresh and vibrant young faces first came to find their seat, it was evident and perfectly clear – Americas New Leaders were here.

The event began almost like a rock show. A DJ on the stage, a massive American Flag hanging from the rear rafters, lights, cameras – and with the quick flick of a playlist of upbeat and exciting music, the ACTION began.
All of these young Americans were in for a real treat… and for three straight days, not a single one wanted to move or leave their seat.
It was this incredible combination and coming together of this new movement - all mixed in to hear, see, and feel -up close and personal - from our nation’s greatest of leaders.
The event, put on by firebrand Turning Point USA - hosted it's Student Action Summit. The crowd was mostly " Gen Z " college aged students.
Influences on the Current Political Climate
Every single speaker that walked across that stage this July weekend in the year 2025 has all but been crucified during the entirety of this last full decade in America.
The common thread seen and so masterfully collected, webbed and weaved was each one of these people have been gone after, attacked, brutalized, dehumanized, defamed, demeaned - all in what now can be so easily seen as a deliberated effort – to purposefully try and extinguish that revered and so highly esteemed – AMERICAN DREAM.
Those still standing, after a decade of real and true war, were all on display this weekend in Tampa Florida for all our young people to see.
A Common Thread
Faith. Family. Virtue.
The big beautiful young sea of 7,000 all - danced, sang, clapped, cheered, and they kept up an incredible energy - for all 3 days - in a most poignant of way. They all took in so many moments to collectively remain silent, bow their heads, and to above all else - pray.

Almost every single one of our great American leaders that took to the stage this weekend all took the time to very purposefully pray.
A sentiment that resonated with the young crowd.
Beyond the collective recognition of faith, family, and desired virtue it felt like being inches from literal rockstars as the sparks surely blasted and flew.
Our youth got to see, hear, and experience an allegiance of true fighters. An exclusive collection of warriors who have all survived an all-out decade long assault and an attempted “murder of a movement. “
Forged Through A Decade of Fire
All you must do is simply look to "The Lineup" of this weekend’s speakers and you’ll truly find yourself saying out loud - wow.
All these names have been blasted and bullet ridden - in every headline for the entirety of ten years...

The Emergence of a restored america
Our Leaders Take Center Stage
“Legacy Media “as it is now often referred to... Like a slowly dying dinosaur moans and groans right before being forever put “to an eternal rest.“
Media outlets such as NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS… They used to be a collection of “our very best. “
I believe it’s finally safe to conclusively say they can all sit down now. Like the dinosaurs of old, just take the loss. Lay down and rest. This nation and it's people have no use for you at this juncture. You are obsolete and quite frankly a direct threat to us all.
As we enter into this newfound renaissance of American Revolution, just in time for Our Beloved 250th, undoubtedly a new sheriff has come to town, and that vested authority, that “official source” is no longer them… IT'S YOU.

the dawn of a new age
The people. Most especially those in attendance here in Tampa over this weekend.
We are witnessing the real and true manifestation of our forefathers’ dreams.
What it was always meant to be…
For you, for me, even for those in which they knew back then – the group that can never seem to figure it out or ever see…
Our freshest of faces, our brightest of young minds got to see Our Nations Greatest Warriors, Patriots, Pioneers… Real tried and true legends living in their own time.
A Turning Point
What more can be possibly said than just seeing the names in that lineup…
Mr. Charlie Kirk deserves every ounce of adulation for somehow impossibly rounding up, harnessing, capturing, curating, and so cleverly assembling this absolute powerhouse of not just a show, but a strategic and masterfully well woven movement of Men, Women, and Leaders of Americas Second Revolution.
Charlie Kirks assemblage of events such as this Turning Point USA Student Action Summit is a compelling and incredibly clever response to the very real war in which undoubtedly came storming our shore.

Modern Revolutionaries
Charlie Kirk and his team are our modern Sons of Liberty… Our modern-day Minute Men. Our brave men and women coming together in the small brick churches, the wooden houses, the dimly lit taverns, and out on a stump or stage surrounding the village green.
A collective response to a very clear and constant attack from an " Enemy Within. "
No, you cannot hear cannons roar, muskets fire or men shout, however you can be absolutely certain, an enemy has already taken to our shore.
Just as our incredibly wise Founding Fathers so predicted, hundreds of years ago…
facing a war As Real The Revolution.
250 Years ago a foreign enemy not only came in hundreds of warships to our shore… That enemy came right to our front door.

An enemy came asking for war and though it took nearly an entire decade of bloodshed and absolute horror… Our precious homes, farms and fields being burned. Our youth being slaughtered. Families being brutally smashed and forever broken to pieces… All account for everlasting scars that are still very visible to this day…

Looking Ahead
Though no Declaration of War was ever read, and no Revere came shouting to get out of bed... The enemy came in not only by our shore, but through an open door.
Many are just now waking up to what has been allowed to go on for so many years...
Our Republic. Our Democracy. Our Nation.
Our Nations greatest threat comes not from some distant country or continent. No, The United States of America’s greatest threat comes directly from within…
" America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. " - Abraham Lincoln

We saw firsthand, well some of us, those bold and brave enough to take a stand and speak up for truth – this said enemy… as it also came to our door.
Some of us have had our lives destroyed. Names burned to the ground. Family, friends, and community nowhere to be found. Most can’t see it, thanks to the tight grip that’s starting to slip. Our information. Our news. Our truth…
A Time for choosing
When The Enemy first came – like The Revolution fought for 250 years ago – some stood… However, sadly – and as our history will forever show to all our future generations still yet to be born… During this crucial time in our history, many rushed to follow orders… Many hiding behind things in which they were coerced to be worn.
Our bravest and our bold came to the stage this weekend in Tampa Florida
Not just to speak, post, pander or posture... They came as Symbols. Monuments. Examples.
All war heroes in their own respected right.
Individuals, Representatives, Leaders who all so bravely stood… Taking on all the enemies nonstop relentlessly funded decade long fire…
Some folded. Some fell. However, all those who took to the stage in Tampa this weekend… They all individually stood, they fought, they forged – and despite being continually surrounded and counted out, they all kept marching their way forward - through an absolute HELL.
In a most tumultuous time, we truly almost lost Her.
Can you imagine… 250 years of bones still buried in our dirt…
Everything that they did.
From the farms, fields, and streams of Lexington and Concord…
The silent cemeteries packed to capacity in places like Gettysburg and Petersburg.
Our woods, hills, valleys, and streams…
Beneath it all lay the brave and bold leaders of their day.
Men like Francis Marion. George Washington. Paul Revere.
Men who took over the helm, when even back then, the majority blinded by fog, paralyzed, unable to steer, making decisions drenched solely in the presence of fear.
It’s been exactly 250 years now since those immortal names walked our literal earth.
We as a Nation are faced with an eerily set of very similar circumstances… An enemy actively aiming, trying to take out anyone who dare stand up for what they know is right.
In Search of The American Dream
So why did all these young people come to Tampa this weekend?
They came like everyone has done...
It is our last 250 years of being this enchanted symbol. A sign one hundred miles high, advertising a land of true and unadulterated liberty. Lady Liberty. America. This bright and shiny thing of ours that shines around the entire world – similar to a bright night sky – packed with a billion beaming stars. A rarified place on earth set aside for boundless equal opportunity. An entrenchment of almost mystic wonder and sparkling allure.

A place where everyone is given the gift and distinct ability not to just fantasize or dream, but also the chance to use our hallowed and historic fields, farms, and streams to sow seeds that can one day bare an endless supply of a most favored of fruit.
Our American soil is sought after because of its unimaginable quality and ability, thanks to all those who fought for it, died for it, and above all else - from its original blessings from God.
This weekend in Tampa - the year 2025 - will go down in history as " A True Turning Point," in which an old flame got fanned just enough to come back alive.
