Grinding Ax

TPUSA was and is Charlie Kirk’s baby, a child birthed through sacrifice, vision, sweat, tears, and ultimately his own blood. Today, that child is being dragged into the court of public opinion for a full-on spiritual custody battle with everyone claiming to know what’s best while pulling it in opposite directions. It’s easy to get swept up in the cultural chaos, but 1 Kings 3 gives us a spiritual lens for moments exactly like this. Two women stood before Solomon, both insisting the child was theirs. One was the true mother. The other a deceiver. But how could anyone tell the difference? Only one cried, “Give her the living baby… but don’t kill him!” The true parent would rather lose the argument than watch the child be cut in half. The false one only cared about winning, even if the child was destroyed in the process. So in this moment, for all who truly love Charlie, his mission, and his life’s work, the real question isn’t: Who yells the loudest? Who says they have receipts? Who posts the most? Who claims the moral high ground? The real question is… Who wants the child to live? Who wants the work to continue? Who is fighting for unity within the conservative movement? Who cares about the souls of the next generation? And who did Charlie personally choose and entrust to steward what he built? Those answers have a way of revealing themselves. And for those of us still carrying Charlie’s mantle, the mission hasn’t changed, the calling hasn’t dimmed, and by God’s grace, the child will not die on our watch.
