However, there is an example from a century ago in Mexico that proves concerned parents can stop public schools from grooming their children. This virtually unknown incident followed the 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution and provides parents of today some encouragement. This...

The astounding speed with which a delusional fantasy has been imposed on society – that people can become the opposite sex simply by saying so – requires explanation. This obliteration of nature’s (and God’s) most fundamental truth of our lives and the resusltant diminishing of the reproduction of our species clearly vectors toward societal and civilizational collapse. It destroys fertility when surgical and chemical interventions are used, and this dooms the society successfully targeted to decline relative to the rest of the world unaffected by the craze. (Have you heard about transgenderism spreading in Russia and China?) The indoctrination of...

It was just after the pandemic that the Gen Zer joined...

The U.S. is an “outlier” among Western nations in providing body-altering drugs and surgery to children who identify as transgender, as concern grows in the scientific community about the results of such treatments. Described by many Democratic politicians as “gender-affirming care” for “trans kids,” puberty-blocking drugs and sex reassignment surgeries at a young age may not reduce psychological distress, and may have long-term and irreversible consequences that children cannot factor into their decision-making at a young age. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday: The U.S. is becoming an outlier among many Western nations in the way its national medical institutions...

Instagram is helping pedophiles connect with one another and buy child pornography, a damning new report suggests.
