There was plenty of outrage yesterday after President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and posted the following reaction to the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller: “Robert Mueller just died.

How the Human Rights Campaign Makes You Complicit in Child Victimization
By[email protected] March 23, 2026April 22, 2026

Thanks to the Human Rights Campaign, even conservatives may be helping fund child-mutilating hormones and surgery, mother-and-father loss, and the destruction of embryonic life—not through elections or legislation, but through burrito bowls, chocolate bars, and bronzer. That is the scandal exposed by a new report from Them Before Us, “Harming Rights of Children: How the…

Obamacare at 16: An Unhappy Birthday
By[email protected] March 23, 2026April 22, 2026

March 23, 2010. Sixteen years ago, President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, thus locking into statutory concrete the dysfunctional status quo that burdens us today. Recall this was Obama’s “signature” legislative achievement. Of course, Obama’s congressional allies knew exactly what they were doing. They conscientiously read and fully grasped the 2,700-page…

America Didn’t Lose Its Village—We Stopped Building One
By[email protected] March 22, 2026April 22, 2026

They say it takes a village—but what does that really mean? In the past few decades, it’s taken really anything but a village to raise a child. iPads, Ms. Rachel, and Bluey—yes. A village—not so much. This idea is essentially what social scientists call “social capital”: the value we gain from our relationships with other people. That value translates into…

No, Following the Money Behind Antifa Is Not an Attack on the First Amendment
By[email protected] March 22, 2026April 22, 2026

For years, the Left tried to gaslight Americans into thinking that Antifa was a fake threat, even though we could see the political violence before our own eyes. Now, the Trump administration isn’t just bringing charges against Antifa rioters, it’s taking aim at the potential funding networks behind the violence. When Antifa agitators set cars…

Planned Parenthood just can’t wait until July 4, 2026. That’s the day taxpayers will have to start subsidizing the abortion industry all over again. How did this happen?

By[email protected] March 21, 2026April 22, 2026

In the year 1204, Arab scholar Abd Al-Latif Al-Baghdadi visited Egypt. Al-Baghdadi marveled at ancient monuments, including the Sphinx (then buried in sand up to the neck and nicknamed “Old Father Dread”) and of course the pyramids, which he described as “awe inspiring.” However, Al-Baghdadi found it disturbing that none of the Egyptians of his…

By[email protected] March 21, 2026April 22, 2026

During the recent Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, it came to light that one of the most prominent and celebrated athletes—Alysa Liu—was born via surrogacy and an anonymous egg donor. Surrogacy is an assisted reproductive technology whereby a woman (the surrogate mother) is impregnated and carries a child for so-called “commissioning” or “intended” parent(s). It…

Do you eat steak? You’re killing the planet! So say climate activists. Silly media agree: Vox warns that beef is the “worst thing we eat when it comes to global warming.” The World Economic Forum, which says it’s “committed to improving the state of the world,” released a video promoting a future where “you’ll own…

Are you a “girl boss” or a “trad wife”? Maybe somewhere in between? Seems like society is pressuring women to pick a side instead of learning to “Lead Like Jael.” Emma Waters, a policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Technology and the Human Person, joins “Problematic Women” us to discuss “seven timeless principles…

What Shannon Bream’s Bestselling Book Reveals About America
By[email protected] March 21, 2026April 22, 2026

For years, Americans have been told that faith out of fashion. Others have rendered God an outdated thing of the past. But the success of Shannon Bream’s latest book, “Nothing Is Impossible With God,” suggests a different reality. Debuting at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, the book’s rapid rise reflects a continued, and perhaps even growing, hunger for spiritual truth in an increasingly uncertain culture.

New York’s desperate governor is turning to a well-known practice in New York City: aggressive begging. While speaking at Politico’s “New York Agenda: Albany Summit” last week, New York Gov.

SAVE America Act Will Make Absentee Ballots Great Again
By[email protected] March 20, 2026April 22, 2026

Most discussion of the SAVE America ACT has focused on how it would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections. Lying Democrats claim that citizenship-confirming birth certificates are beyond the reach of mere mortals. Never mind that private and government websites help Americans order them online for home delivery. Also, racist Democrats argue that black and brown voters are…

The use of the agricultural input glyphosate may be one of the most hotly contested issues within public health right now. For some, glyphosate is proof that modern agriculture is poison.

California’s ‘Butterfly’ Bridge Fiasco Exposes Blue State Dysfunction
By[email protected] March 19, 2026April 22, 2026

I think this may be the most California story of all time. In 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated the groundbreaking of a giant wildlife bridge across the 101 Freeway in Southern California. He noted that while the project came with a $54 million price tag, it could be completed with another $10 million. For those who’ve followed…
