Within Conservative Inc., Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has been a mixed bag. On one hand, they have promoted much of the degeneracy and liberalism for decades while also platforming atheists like James Lindsay at their Faith conference. On the other, Charlie Kirk has demonstrably shifted to the right on social issues since the Groyper Wars famously trolled him and black sodomite Rob Smith. In many ways, Charlie Kirk is the Overton Window, that is a lagging indicator as to how far the cultural discourse has shifted. In the last year, Kirk has shifted rightward in discussing race and even birth control, amongst other issues.
Nevertheless, neither Charlie Kirk nor TPUSA are perfect, and still have tendencies that are all too common within Con Inc. TPUSA is hosting a Young Women’s Leadership Summit on June 13-15, 2025, in Dallas. When politics is increasingly bifurcated by gender, with the Democrats being the feminist party and the Republicans being the masculine party, many forces within conservatism seek to conserve egalitarianism within the movement. TPUSA is out of touch with the direction of the movement it seeks to capitalize upon.
Among the names that garnered the most scrutiny was that of Nala Ray, a former Only Fans prostitute whose high-profile profession of faith accumulated much fame and notoriety. On two occasions, she appeared with Michael Knowles on two occasions, and she returned to the Whatever Podcast where she debated Andrew Wilson. Moreover, her conversion attracted much debate over the nature of her repentance. While she would dispute that she was still living off her sordid gains, there are genuine reasons to hold her conversion with high suspicion: first, she has made overtly sexualized content with clothes on; second, she was spontaneously baptized at a seeker-sensitive church; and three, lack of proper spiritual influences in her life, including her husband.
Rather than lead a quiet life, Nala Ray wants to transition from pornography to social media influencer. A few months ago, she launched her own personal ministry, The Appointed Pathway, which offers life coaching courses, including one on porn addiction. For the price of $50, she sells porn-addiction recovery courses. While her monetization strategy is an obvious grift all too common on the internet, often under the guise of “coaching,” we said at the time that the real game being played was that she was using this “ministry” to gain access to the conference circuit, which is exactly what TPUSA is within conservatism.
Repenting of being an e-thot does not qualify one for leadership in the Conservative movement, nor should one go to a former porn star to recover from porn addiction. TPUSA is the first high-profile conference to feature her, and unlikely to be the last.
Conservative Inc. Matriarchy
Surely, there are worthy women in the conservative movement, right?
What about Rep. Nancy Mace, who boasted that she was going to show the whole world her naked body (she lied) as a ruse to accuse her former fiancé of rape? This would have a former whore is sharing a platform with the biggest whore in Congress. Then there is Riley Gaines, who has milked losing to a man at a swimming competition into a career in Con Inc. Also, there is Lila Rose, who runs Live Action, a pro-life media company operating as a 501c3 with ineffective and feminist pro-life messaging. There is Allie Beth Stuckey, whose defense of whorish dancing videos led Doug Wilson to counter-signal Ogden. Tulsi Gabbard is a boomercon simp bait who is not conservative on anything but foreign policy. Alina Habba was most known for being Trump’s lawyer in his NY trial and subsequently becoming a US Attorney, but probably in part because of her looks. While likable, Brett Cooper rise to fame was astroturfed by the Daily Wire, but she is hardly a leader who can espouse a positive vision. Several of these women are related to influential men in Conservative circles.
Conservatism does not need female leaders, and the ones being platformed are collectively awful. Most were also elevated for their appearances. All this is without rehashing the feminism of Tomi Lahren and Megyn Kelly, who blame men for the marriage crisis. Conservative women should be modeling motherhood, not activism. They should be pursuing marriage, not careers. They should be scolding childless women, not being one.
The American Right has done much to purge the influence of Zionism in the movement, placing it in terminal decline, but for the movement to thrive, they must also prioritize male leadership rather than elevate attractive women. If conservatism were serious about advocating the differences between men and women, then it must understand that leadership roles are for men, not women. Just as Paul articulates male headship via ontology, against contemporary cultural practices in Corinth, so too must the Right argue male headship in the body politic.

Tulsi Gabbard was born in 1981, hardly a “boomer” of any sort.
tpusa is not the church.
however, this does raise the bigger issue of if society would be better overall if church standards were applied to all institutions and not just to the church
