Fertility rates are plummeting across the developed world. Doom and gloom over climate change dominates the discourse in advanced economies. Pro-choice activists have shifted their stated stance from “safe, legal and rare” to “it’s a birthing person’s choice” even at full term. Proabortion activists paint their faces red and scream “I love killing babies.” Teachers instruct kindergarteners about their own peculiar sexualities as well-funded international organizations remake pedagogy in the image of “Drag Queen Story Hour.” The signs of evil are everywhere. But many of us, overwhelmed by the scope of the situation, struggle to make sense of just what...

Disturbing footage circulating online shows young children berating law enforcement officers on a sidewalk in St. Paul. According to Alpha News, the video was recorded last week as the Minneapolis police department and other agencies served a search warrant for a murder suspect.

This 32 second video says it all, about where we are as a society.........................

I've heard it said more than once now. "We're in a war." We are. The President of the United States has declared war on its citizens. We are in a war for the soul of the country. In violation of Federal law, SCOTUS Justices are being harassed while at dinner. The White House is all in favor of it. In fact, Biden is inciting violence upon on the Supreme Court. Biden: "We can not allow an out of control Supreme Court, working in conjunction with extremist elements of the Republican party, to take away freedoms and our personal autonomy." pic.twitter.com/Xjzd3SHdhB...

Incredible how these guys at Dragnet summed up the problem..... https://youtu.be/FZo2hhvvlpw

he pair of suspects arrested for allegedly plotting to “shoot up” a Fourth of July celebration in Richmond, Virginia — thwarted by an American citizen — are illegal aliens, court records state. On Wednesday, as Breitbart News reported, the Richmond Police Department announced the arrests of Guatemalan nationals 52-year-old illegal alien Julio Alvardo Dubon and 38-year-old illegal alien Rolman Balacarcel Ac for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at the city’s July 4th celebration. According to Police Chief Gerald Smith, Dubon and Ac’s plan was thwarted thanks to an American “hero citizen” who overheard a conversation about the plot and subsequently...

From Madison reading Cato and Cicero when framing the Constitution to the outsized impact both Rome and America had on the world around them, the United States has long been associated with historical Rome. There are great similarities, and there can be much to learn. When most of us think of the worst emperors Roman in history we think of names like Commodus, Nero, Caligula and Elagabalus. To a man they were vain, self centered, bloodthirsty hedonists who took what they wanted and tortured and killed many thousands of Romans and provincials. All emperors, including the great ones like Augustus,...

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” When you look at society today, it would not appear these truths are self-evident at all. Colorado has a civil rights commission that expects you to be treated differently based on your skin color or sexual preference. Government bureaucracies have exploded and seek to regulate every aspect of our lives. People and even some elected officials are openly advocating for communism and for the removal...

The Looking Glass was a 70's group whose well-known hit Brandy" was their claim to fame.

When many people feel disconnected from their social environment they become prone to fanatical belief in an unreasonable narrative, creating favorable conditions for the emergence of a totalitarian state, said Mattias Desmet, a professor of clinical psychology. The psychological phenomenon where individuals who feel disconnected from their natural and social environment and experience purposelessness in life start to fanatically believe in a certain narrative—even if it is absurd—is a specific kind of group formation called mass formation, Desmet told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program on June 16. The individuals in the grip of the mass formation are blind to the...

It’s easy to feel like you’re in the minority when it comes to the issue of transgenderism. I was banned from Twitter for speaking the truth about transgenderism. Lia Thomas’s teammates were afraid to speak out publicly in opposition to his competing against them, and have only done so anonymously out of fear of retribution. Transgender ideology is pushed by Hollywood, and even medical professionals are pressured to legitimize it. If you recognize that there are only two genders, male and female, and that impossible to change from one to the other, you might feel like you’re alone, surrounded by...

If I looked up 'GRAVITAS' in the dictionary, Shelby Foote's picture and voice should be there. Anyway, while I just happened to enjoy this YouTube replay of a Brian Lamb GENUINE interview (as opposed to what we see these days), up pops a PROPHETIC statement by Mr Foote on the acceptance of history versus the desire to 'cancel' history.

Last week was more than just the end of Howard Johnson's. It marked one more place in our culture that lost touch with its customers because the owners had little in common with them. HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pennsylvania—In truth, the last Howard Johnson’s restaurant closed long before the one in Lake George, New York, did last week. The only thing that particular location had in common with the fried clams and 28 flavors of ice cream the restaurant was famous for was maintaining the iconic orange roof that signaled to families for generations you were pulling up to a place you could...

Men who are feminine? Why are men so soft? Effeminate men sin? Video is 40 minutes long, might offend those with woke pronouns

Why does the Millennial generation (people born between 1982-1996) have lower marriage and birth rates than previous generations? And when Millennials do get married, why is it at a later age than previous generations? Prominent periodicals like The Atlantic, Time, Washington Post and others have published articles trying to explain the phenomenon. Some claim that the cause is economic – we graduated from college into the 2008 Recession, we have a lot of student loan debt, and we receive stagnant wages as housing prices soar. Financial difficulty prevents young people from getting married. This is of course part of the...

A Californian is going viral after sharing the biggest culture shocks she faced after moving to Iowa. The clip comes courtesy of Katie Bishop (@katphishhbishh), a podcaster and CRNA student now living in Iowa. Her video, about the most surprising differences between her old state and new one, now has over 800,000 views. It’s the latest entry in a long line of posts about culture shocks TikTokers have faced after moving.

Former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones is currently promoting Pistol, the new FX series following the story of his former punk band. However, in two recent interviews, the guitarist has revealed that he doesn’t listen to his old music much these days. He would much sooner find himself listening to Steely Dan than any 1970s punk rock. The topic first came up in an interview with The Telegraph last week. “I never really listen to the Pistols’ music anymore,” Jones admitted. “I’m xxxx tired of it, to be honest with you. I’d rather listen to Steely Dan.” It will come...

However during a 14-0 run by the Celtics, Jones opened the door to criticism: “The Celtics have stormed ahead! This insurrection has them leading by 11.”

So. We vilify action men, brand chivalry and valor “toxic masculinity,” stamp on the manly virtues that made civilization possible. Then we are shocked when armed cops stand around outside a classroom while children are slaughtered, or when straphangers watch passively as a woman is ­assaulted on the subway. SNIP We pathologize manly virtues and bow to the tyranny of identity politics that seeks power by overthrowing a make-believe patriarchy. We raise boys in a soup of ­reproach and negativity that tells them their intrinsic nature is ­diseased.
