A man turns to Reddit for support after a heated disagreement with his ex over how their children should spend Father’s Day. He shares in his post that he and his ex, who were never married, share 50-50 custody of their two kids, ages 11 and 9, and that their arrangement has always been clear: “My ex always got Mother’s Day while I always got Father’s Day. That’s written into our court order and this has never been challenged before.” Four years ago, his ex married a man named Nick, and the blended family has since grown with a child...

Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass used Father’s Day not to honor the importance of fatherhood or the role of strong families, but to push a political message about illegal immigration. Instead of acknowledging the responsibility that comes with breaking U.S. law, Bass focused her message on sympathy for children whose fathers were deported for being in the country illegally. Her statement ignored the legal consequences of entering or remaining in the U.S. unlawfully and painted deportation as an unjust act rather than a necessary part of enforcing immigration law. “This morning, I’m thinking about the children in Los Angeles...

Every child longs for their father’s love — not just in the form of provision or protection, but through what he gives of himself: words that affirm, hands that embrace, and a steady presence that says, “You matter more than words can express.” A father’s blessing is one of the most powerful gifts a child can receive—and one of the most important a father can give. This kind of blessing is deeply biblical.

An international pro-life organization is helping African fathers to assert their traditional role as protectors and providers while rejecting the idea that population control and abortion strengthen families. As Americans celebrate Father’s Day, Emil Hagamu, Human Life International (HLI) Regional Director of English-Speaking Africa, explained in a statement sent to CatholicVote that, in Africa, fathers are traditionally viewed and respected as the head of the family. In his native country of Tanzania, for example, Hagamu said fathers “seek health, prosperity, and peaceful marriages for their families.” One Tanzanian village father and his neighbors, however, ended up adopting the Western ideas...

Chuck Schumer has just deleted his Father's Day burger post on his X social media page after being grilled by thousands about the cheese on a raw beef patty.

It’s Father’s Day. While I’d never thought that Bill Maher would have a good message for this special day for dads who are denigrated, mocked, and viewed as less than by angry feminists and deranged leftists, the HBO host, who often mocked traditional values throughout his career, appears to yearn for a return of conventional parenting. Specifically, Maher wants a return of the ‘trad dad.’ He wants fathers to have permission to be dads again. One knock on Maher is that he doesn’t have kids or want them. “Yeah, I don’t give b**wjobs either, but I can tell when someone...

The family unit (i.e., Father and Mother) is Almighty God’s design to protect and insulate mankind from the immoral ravishings, which manifest themselves by the violations of the moral absolutes instilled at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:1-31, Ex 20:1-17, Mark 10:19, Rom. 13:9, Heb. 13:4). It is a strong family unit that rests and abides on the moral absolutes of time that will keep and preserve society from decadence violence and social breakdown. When these moral absolutes are rejected, the horrific consequences that follow are devastating to the children and nation. In light of our day; godly fathers...

If the number of marriages increased in America, the number of abortions would likely decrease, statistics show. The Pew Research Center reported that in 2021, 87% of women who had abortions were unmarried, meaning that “marriage can make a huge difference if 87% of abortion-determined women are not married,” says pro-life advocate Ben Watson, a former NFL star. It’s not only the unborn that benefit from a society that celebrates marriage, but all children, Watson says. “It’s necessary that men be a part of raising a child and having a commitment to the mother in the form of marriage, because...

Many are wondering, today, what in the world has happened to our country? Lawlessness abounds, there is no justice to be found, deception is rampant, and the “pandemic” of delusion continues to morph into even greater variations of abominations.

While millions of Americans were busy celebrating Mom on Sunday, taking her out to dinner and showering her with flower bouquets and macaroni picture frames, at least one person over on social media was lamenting the fact that he – she? It? – was left feeling rather unspecial. Because after all, when it comes to the trans community, it is all about making them feel included, even to the point of inconveniencing or outright excluding everyone else. “There’s two different days in the year that I question,” a biological man with green hair and a baritone voice says in a...

Happy Fathers Day, to all the dads that don't shower with their daughters.

Every year on Father’s Day, we honor the men who help shape our character through their love, guidance, and devotion. Dads and father figures across the country sacrifice so much to support their families and to ensure that their children can lead fulfilling lives. I remember my own father, who instilled in me some of the most important values that guide me to this day. He taught me to treat all people with dignity, and that there is no higher calling than to be a good parent. He informed the way that I raised my own children — and how...

Eight dads are sharing how abortion has helped them become the fathers they are today, on what experts believe will likely be the last Father's Day before the Supreme Court issues a ruling that would overturn Roe v Wade. In May, a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban indicated the Court is poised to overturn Roe v Wade, the 1971 Supreme Court decision that established the constitutional right to abortion care. The draft is not a formal decision and the court has not ruled on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban. Abortion is still...
