Does Disney Still Deserve the Benefit of the Doubt?

Nearly every child born in America in the second half of the 20th century (and beyond) was reared on Disney. The Wonderful World of Disney occupied a prime slot on the weekly television schedule; Disneyland and Disney World were aspirational vacation destinations, and Disney movies were worth the cost of admission for the entire family […]

Babies by any means? AOC and the Fertility Crisis 

In early August, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC, D-New York 14th), posted a video of herself beginning the process of freezing her eggs. Soon enough, a social media firestorm around reproductive technology, marriage, and motherhood erupted online—AOC’s leftist followers praised her for “taking control of her own life,” but the political right split on the issue. Some criticized AOC for perpetuating the narrative that women should delay motherhood to pursue careers, and others defended AOC for desiring to have children in […]

Not in my school: CWA’s Long History of Opposing School-Based Health Centers

A 1986 edition of Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) monthly magazine, Family Voice, listed the following prayer request in its prayer bulletin: That people across the country would see the danger of school-based “health” clinics and know how to take effective action against them. Forty years later, CWA is still committed to fighting School-Based Health […]

Big Marijuana’s Long Shadow of Destruction

On July 15, 2026, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Department of Justice (DOJ) officially wrapped up a historic set of hearings on rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. The dramatic change would reclassify the drug as now having an accepted medical use and a low risk of abuse. However, marijuana itself has never been accepted for medical use and is overwhelmingly abused […]

“Under-Regulated and Unaccountable”: The State of America’s IVF Industry

When I sat down with Emma Waters, Senior Policy Analyst at the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Technology and the Human Person, I expected to learn about policy. What I didn’t expect was her jarringly accurate description of the state of American fertility law. “The best way to categorize the governance of the fertility industry and of IVF in particular,” she told me, “is that it’s under-regulated […]

The War on Truth, Smithsonian Edition

When a people forgets where they came from, they forget who they are. But America’s largest institution charged with preserving and sharing our history has been captured by an anti-American ideology that is lying to busloads of school children and international tourists for the sake of a corrosive political agenda. Now that it’s all finally […]

The Personhood Debate Expands

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way Americans live and work. Businesses, schools, governments, and consumers are racing to identify ways AI can improve their current systems and increase efficiency. AI is the name of the game. However, developers have reached beyond simple efficiency, and many programs are created to mimic human personality, simulate relationships, […]

Blind Squirrels and Broken Clocks

Scandal-plagued Fairfax County (Virginia) schools finally got something right (kind of). At its July 16 meeting, the Fairfax County school board voted to restrict generative AI for elementary students, prohibit tablets and laptops in pre-K and kindergarten classes, limit personal devices during instructional time, and launch a pilot program to implement a “whitelist”-style firewall (rather […]

We can test for alcohol in seconds. Marijuana impairment? Still a guessing game

On Jan. 1, 2026, I was on the phone with my fiance when he was struck head-on by an under-the-influence driver going down the wrong side of the highway. Fortunately, my fiance survived the horrific incident — however, so many in this same situation do not live to tell the story. In 2023, a 17-year-old Texan who was driving while […]

The Game Industry’s Most Dangerous Marketing Trick

You just purchased a new card game, and now you are being marketed the “adult extension pack.” The pack does not add strategy, complexity, or deeper gameplay. It simply adds crude sex jokes and innuendo. While it may seem harmless, the practice of marketing erotica, drugs, and profanity as “adult” may be more harmful than […]

How States Can Support Grieving Parents

Miscarriage is a devastating, life-altering event that far too many parents walk through without adequate care for their needs or meaningful recognition of their lost child. Rather than weaponizing the loss, public policy advocates must uplift these families with substantive care and recognize that their grief is not just the end of a pregnancy. It […]

What You Need to Know About the Housing Market

Buying and owning a home has long been considered the pinnacle of the American dream and a way for many families to invest, establish roots, and build generational wealth. As a young woman in my 20s, the affordability of the housing market is hitting my generation the hardest, and we are eager for a path forward.   Generally, homeowners welcome higher housing costs, aside from higher property taxes, because it is an […]

Netflix’s Imperfect but Still Worthwhile Little House

Netflix has done much in recent years to alienate Christian and conservative audiences. Many conservative subscribers questioned the appointment of former Senior Obama and Biden administration official Susan Rice to the Netflix Board of Directors and the $50 million, multi-year development deal the company signed with Barack and Michelle Obama around the same time. It […]
