Turning Point USA Gets a Chapter At Southern University
October 15, 2025 NewsHound
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative values on high school, college, and university campuses. It was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery, with the goal of pushing back against the rampant ideological leftism on college campuses and universities.
According to their website, the student program exists to educate young people about the importance of limited government, free markets, and freedom.
With 800+ college chapters, Turning Point USA College is the largest and most impactful movement for promoting freedom-loving, American values. Students champion these initiatives by organizing into student-led chapters on their campus. Students are encouraged to be leaders in their communities and educate others on American ideals in a fun and compelling way.
Apparently there is a new TPUSA startup at Southern Adventist University—perhaps in the wake of Charlie’s assassination.

Seventh-day Adventist Conference Responds to the Murder of Charlie Kirk
September 26, 2025 NewsHound
NNEC—In the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, the administrative committee of the Northern New England Conference wish to express our sympathy to Erika Kirk, their two children and extended family. We are committed to praying for them in this time of grief and loss.
We affirm Charlie’s courage and commitment to the Christian faith, Biblical marriage, strong families, sexual purity, and the seventh day Sabbath. Because of him, many people have been drawn to the truth of the Bible including the seventh-day Sabbath.
It is not our purpose to embrace or deny Mr. Kirk’s specific political views but rather focus on biblical unity and our mission to proclaim the Three Angels’ Messages.
Finally, we affirm all who love God and Country. God has worked for all people, and His footprints in the history of America, including its Constitution, are bulwarks supporting liberty of conscience. Revelation 12 shows that God raised up this nation as a refuge for His people and launching pad for the gospel. Revelation 13 warns of changes to come that shall deny the first Amendment rights of all Americans. Revelation 14 includes an urgent warning not to blend church and state.
We grieve the deaths of all who seek to stand for religious liberty and free speech, however imperfectly, and are determined to continue the legacy that defends truth and leads souls out of darkness and into the marvelous light of Jesus.
****
We are encouraged by this balanced response to the tragic slaying of Charlie Kirk. The authors of this statement exemplify the wisdom of considering a matter before responding (Proverbs 18:16; James 1:19), and demonstrate the Christlike virtue of mourning with those who mourn.

Similar words used by Ilhan Omar and Neal C. Wilson.
Dustbin of History
"Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint...that attitude on the church's part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned." (Neal C. Wilson, past president of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, Court Transcript of United States vs the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission vs the Pacific Press Publishing Association and the General Conference, Reply Brief for Defendants, p 4, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, presided over by Judge Charles B. Renfrew, U.S. District Court, San Francisco, California, 1974-1975.)
"There is another universal and truly catholic organization, the Seventh-day Adventist Church." (Neal C. Wilson, General Conference President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Adventist Review, March 5, 1981, p 3).

Witnesses of a Captive West: Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk
The string of recent killings, from Annunciation Church to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, are not unrelated.
Scott Ventureyra
On August 22, 2025, Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian, was murdered on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, after finishing a shift at a local pizzeria. She had fled her homeland in the hope of a brighter future in a supposedly safer country. A chilling surveillance video captures the moment she was stabbed from behind—three savage thrusts to her neck as she quietly scrolled her phone—before she collapsed in shock and bled out on the train floor. No one stepped forward to help until it was much too late. Within minutes, the attacker, Decarlos Brown Jr., exited the train, walking away with a bloody knife.
Brown, a career criminal with 14 prior arrests, including armed robbery and domestic violence, was a clear danger. He suffered from paranoid delusions about “foreign materials” in his brain and called 911 repeatedly in psychotic distress. Yet, in January, Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes released him on nothing more than a written promise to appear. He was released without bail, with no confinement, and no treatment. That decision sealed Iryna’s fate.
Her murder was horrific in itself, but the greater scandal is that mainstream America barely noticed. The silence was deafening. By contrast, her workplace, Zeppedies Pizzeria, responded with dignity: keeping her memory alive with a lit candle, a quiet symbol of her warmth and kindness. In a society that has largely abandoned truth, it was ordinary people, not elites, who bore witness to her worth.
And now, as I was working on this piece about Iryna, news broke of Charlie Kirk’s death. I began following the developments in shock, and I could not help but widen this reflection into a global theme—two tragic losses bound together: the slaughter of a young Ukrainian refugee who came seeking peace; and the assassination of a Christian conservative voice and defender of free speech in America, a husband and father now torn from his family.
A video posted on 𝕏 shows the shooting occurring moments after Kirk had been asked a question from the audience: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters in the past ten years?” to which he replied, “Too many.” The questioner pressed, “Five. Now five is a lot; I’ll give you credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years?” Kirk responded, “Counting or not counting gang violence?” And then—in a grim twist of fate, he was shot viciously in the neck. The irony is inescapable. Only days earlier, I had written on the disturbing links between transgender ideology, violence, and murder in an article titled “Gender Ideology and Violence: Cultural Confusion and the Spiritual Battle.” Kirk’s death, unfolding in that very context, makes the point in blood.
These are not isolated sorrows but twin revelations of a world increasingly gripped by darkness.
