Children now are inundated from a young age with messages about sexuality and gender, the founders of the CHANGED Movement say, but those messages aren’t always positive. “What [society is] doing is not allowing children to really explore their sexuality before labeling them as LGBT or Q or anything else, and suggesting that at 7…

One of the first skirmishes in the fight against Big Tech occurred last week in the House of Representatives. The subject was not tech per se, it was antitrust. But as we know, the problems of Big Tech companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter stem from their size, scope, and power. The antitrust…

Civilization is fragile. It hinges on ensuring the stuff of life. To be able to eat, to move about, to have shelter, to be free from state or tribal coercion, to be secure abroad, and safe at home—only that allows cultures to be freed from the daily drudgery of mere survival. Civilization alone permits humans…

Bound by the terms of a pre-COVID-19 pandemic contract, railroad workers have felt overworked and undercompensated in recent years. Having come within hours of a railroad strike, workers are now set to vote on a tentative contract. The major sticking points in the railroad union negotiations were pay, sick leave, and schedule flexibility. Some workers…

Wes Martin is the lead pastor at Grace Church in St. Louis, where he’s led his congregation through the turbulent times of COVID-19 and some of the political debates that have shaped our society over the last couple of years. Martin spoke to The Daily Signal about his church’s mission and why he’s boldly confronting…

How is it that equity, a doctrine that tells government and the private sector to treat Americans differently because of their race, is becoming so pervasive in the Land of the Free? One reason is the deliberate obfuscation of its meaning. Fortunately, every once in a while Kamala Harris comes along to remind us of…

Under Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of Congress can propose constitutional amendments and, after 50 years of trying, sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states in March 1972 with a seven-year ratification deadline. Even after a disputed deadline extension, only 35 of the necessary 38 states had approved the ERA, and five of…

Be prepared for Democrats to exploit the devastation of Hurricane Ian to peddle demodernization. And because there is no conclusive way for anyone to prove that global warming isn’t triggering every natural disaster—and because nature offers a continuous flow of these terrifying events and always will—the exploitation will never stop. The effort began in earnest…

Thirty-one years ago, a media-anointed secular saint named Anita Hill uncorked some sexual harassment charges against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas that she could not substantiate. Thomas called it part of a “high-tech lynching.” But Hill, who became a millionaire author and a professor of “social policy, law, and women’s studies” at Brandeis University, has…

A 10-year-old named Noella McMaher has become the youngest transgender model ever to open and close a runway show during New York Fashion Week. Noella was born a boy, but dresses in girls’ clothing. This is yet another example of an entire community—from this child’s parents, to the fashion industry, to LGBTQ organizations—pushing radical gender…

What is the basis for the current aggressive transgender treatment for kids? Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist and author, says it’s rooted in a study done of 55 children in the Netherlands who suffered from gender dysphoria, and were given puberty blockers. But there are problems with how American doctors are using that study,…

For too long, Big Tech companies have abused the government’s anemic enforcement of antitrust law to kill competition, cozy up to hostile foreign actors, and consolidate power at the expense of the American consumer and citizen. A three-part antitrust bill that heads to Congress for a vote this week can help provide a fix. The…

The partisans running the House Jan. 6 committee would like you to believe there’s a controversy over an ex-Republican coming out with his own “unauthorized” Jan. 6 book the day before their last scheduled committee hearing. Would your average cynical reporter buy this “going rogue” storyline? Or does it look conveniently designed to put the…

NASA successfully conducted a test Monday in which the agency deliberately ran a spacecraft into the smaller of two asteroids to alter the trajectory of that asteroid. The space agency’s successful test, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, involved advanced technologies. The spacecraft hit the smaller “moonlet” at some 14,760 mph—a speed substantially…

TALLINN, Estonia—Conservatives seldom have been great at forging international coalitions. But that is changing rapidly. A common enemy always does that. Failure to form global networking is a bit of an occupational hazard for conservatism, inherently a nation-oriented, inward-looking endeavor. Conservatives, after all, seek to conserve very different national traditions, sometimes contradictory ones. What a…
