📰 Turning Point USA Plans Its Own “All-American” Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026

By The Trend Planet News Desk

Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by the late political activist Charlie Kirk, has announced plans to host its own Super Bowl halftime counter-show in 2026.

The group shared a flyer on social media revealing that the event — called “The All-American Halftime Show” — will celebrate “faith, family, and freedom.” The alternative show is scheduled for February 8, 2026, the same day as the NFL’s Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California.

Following Charlie Kirk’s passing last month, his wife Erika Kirk took over as CEO of Turning Point USA. She confirmed that details about the venue and the lineup of musical performers will be announced soon.

According to the official event website, visitors can submit their preferred music genres. The survey options include Americana, Classic Rock, Country, Hip Hop, Pop, and Worship, suggesting a diverse lineup with a patriotic theme.

The announcement came shortly after the NFL named global superstar Bad Bunny as its 2026 halftime performer — a choice that has sparked mixed reactions across the United States.

While millions of fans praised the Puerto Rican artist’s global influence, others — including former President Donald Trump — criticized the decision. “I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it — it’s crazy,” Trump said earlier this week.

Bad Bunny, who primarily performs in Spanish, has been vocal about his opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Reports indicate that his recent world tour avoided U.S. stops out of concern over possible ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids.

A Trump administration official later stated that ICE agents would maintain a visible presence at the 2026 Super Bowl, emphasizing a “no safe haven” policy for undocumented immigrants.

Super Bowl counter-events are not new. Networks such as Animal Planet have long aired the Puppy Bowl, and other platforms have experimented with creative alternatives like the Kitten Bowl or Fish Bowl. However, Turning Point USA’s live event marks one of the first large-scale political or cultural halftime alternatives ever attempted.

Whether “The All-American Halftime Show” will compete with the NFL’s massive global audience remains to be seen — but one thing is clear: Charlie Kirk’s legacy continues to spark conversations well beyond politics.

Canada Post Shifts from Nationwide Strike to Rotating Walkouts

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has announced a significant change in its labour strategy, moving from a full-scale nationwide strike to a series of rotating walkouts. This shift means that after a two-week halt, mail and parcel delivery across Canada is set to partially resume. However, the public should prepare for ongoing, unpredictable service disruptions as targeted strikes will continue to pop up in different locations across the country. Why the Change in Tactic? The move to rotating strikes is a strategic one for the union. By sending the majority of its 55,000 members back to work, CUPW aims to restore core postal services while maintaining pressure on Canada Post during negotiations. This approach allows the union to continue highlighting their demands without the widespread public frustration that a complete shutdown causes. The union hopes this strategy will help drum up public support for its broader fight against proposed federal reforms that could signif...

$2 Trillion Wiped Out: Stock Market Plunges on Trump Tariff Threat

A single social media post triggered a massive Wall Street sell-off on Friday, erasing an estimated $2 trillion in market value and shattering a period of unusual calm for investors. The catalyst was a post from former President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform, where he threatened a "massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products." The announcement sent shockwaves through the market, reversing early gains and leading to the worst single-day performance for major indexes in months. From Record Highs to a Sharp Sell-Off The sell-off was swift and severe. Before the post, the S&P 500 was hovering near a record high. By the closing bell, it had plummeted 2.7%, its worst day since April. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which is highly sensitive to U.S.-China trade relations, fared even worse, sinking 3.56%. The decline was broad-based, with 424 of the 500 companies in the S&P 500 finishing the day in negative territory. Why Did the Market React So Violen...
