No, feminism isn’t fixed by repealing the 19th Amendment
Recent nationwide gubernatorial and mayoral elections were a resounding success for Democrats (and one very notable Socialist). Exit polling reveals a concerning statistic: young women overwhelmingly voted blue —“Hot Girls for Mamdani,” anyone? Here are the numbers: In New York City, 81% of women aged 18-29 voted for Mayor-elect Mamdani; in Virginia, 78% voted for […]
HHS Ends Taxpayer Funding of Sex-Rejecting Procedures
For far too long, the American medical industry has been captured by an ideology that says sex is interchangeable, that the temporary whims of a child should be affirmed by permanent surgical mutilation. But at last, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced that they are pulling the plug on these barbaric practices. For […]
Boy Wins Girl’s Irish Dance Competition for the Third Year in a Row
Boys are still stealing trophies from girls. On the racetrack, the volleyball court, and even on the dance stage.

Congress Bans Dangerous Hemp-Based Products
While America cheered that Congress finally funded the government, the funding bill included a less celebrated but far more significant victory – a ban on dangerous intoxicating hemp products.

Department of Education Begins Its “Final Mission”
When Linda McMahon was named Secretary of Education, her stated purpose was to work herself out of a job by shutting down the Department of Education (ED).

Schumer Shutdown Comes to an End
After over 43 days and 15 votes on the House-passed funding bill, the longest government shutdown in American history is finally over.

Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence
“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months. And yet, it seems as if a disproportionate number of these attacks are inspired by left-wing political rhetoric. Without acknowledging the source of this […]
Transgender Violence: What is driving this trend?
In August, trans-identifying male Robert “Robin” Westman sprayed bullets through stained glass, killing two children and injuring 14 at Annunciation Catholic School. In 2023, trans-identifying female Audrey “Aiden” Hale shot and killed six schoolchildren in Nashville, and in 2019, trans-identifying female Maya “Alec” McKinney shot indiscriminately into a Denver classroom, killing one student. These massacres […]
Report: Understanding Physician-Assisted Suicide in the United States
In September 2025, Lifeway Research found that over half of Americans (55 percent) agree that “physicians should be allowed to assist terminally ill patients in ending their life.” The figure should be zero percent. Physician-assisted suicide is an affront to the sanctity of human life, a sure-fire trap door into a dangerous slippery slope for […]
Shutdown Update: The RIFs Have Begun
It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement.

The Shutdown Continues
At midnight on October 1, the government shut down for the first time in seven years.

CWA / YWA at the Texas Youth Summit
The future of America rests in the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Senate Hearing Reveals Meta Buried Research into Online Child Abuse

Big Abortion’s Big Lie: The Truth About Planned Parenthood’s Collapse
While the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s one-year Medicaid moratorium may deal a significant blow to big abortion providers, it would be a mistake not to point out that Planned Parenthood (i.e., the nation’s largest abortion provider) has been in a steady state of decline for decades. The defund provision could hit the corporation’s finances […]
Report: “Gender-Affirming Care” Is on the Way Out in 2025
Introduction Kayla Lovdahl was twelve years old when her parents sought help for her severe depression, mood swings, self-harm, nausea, gender dysphoria, and explosive, irritable behavior.

Marijuana Should Remain a Schedule I Drug
Just because “everyone is doing it,” doesn’t make it good. No better substance exemplifies that sentiment in the present age than marijuana. Some states have, unfortunately, gone down this path – from the ever-present stench of weed wafting through city streets to the fact that daily cannabis use has surpassed that of alcohol, marijuana is […]
