Do people need tutorials on masturbation? Apparently at Harvard they do. Students at the Ivy League institution are set to host their annual Sex Week celebration, slated for the first week of November. On tap this year? A “BDSM and Kinks” workshop and a “Touch, Techniques and Tools” seminar, according to the scheduled of events posted on social media. Another event will feature a “queer and trans sex educator,” co-hosted by the Harvard Undergraduate Queer Advocates group, a promotional flier states. There will also be a “condoms and lubricant 101” event, sex trivia party, and “Sensual Strokes: Painting Your Pleasure”...

A transgender teenager has admitted to planning a mass shooting attack at an Indiana high school back in February meant to take place on Valentine’s Day. Trinity Shockley, 18, is planning to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder and will receive 12 and a half years in prison, along with five years of probation, The New York Post reported. Police said Shockley was arrested after they received a tip that she had an AR-15 and had bought a bulletproof vest. The tipster added that Shockley was obsessed with the idea of mass shootings. Shockley identifies as a man...

The New Jersey Education Association, one of the most powerful political arms in New Jersey favoring Democrats, is set to host an event next month to celebrate “the vibrant world of drag” for public school teachers.The NJEA is the union representing hundreds of thousands of New Jersey educators, and is also behind one of the top-spending political groups in the state. It has poured tens of millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns and last month endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill over Republican Jack Ciattarelli.Just a few days after that election takes place, it will hold the event called “Drag...

Created by Elon Musk, xAI's Grok has introduced AI ‘companions’ — and one of them targeted toward children refers users to Planned Parenthood, likening abortion to simply “turning off a light.” According to a July 2025 article from Tom's Guide, Grok's companions are "AI chatbots that are assigned specific personalities for you to interact with...." Tom's reviewer Alex Hughes adds, with concern, that "[M]ost of the larger AI companies with strong reputations have stayed clear of this world, primarily because of the pretty expansive ethical problems that come attached with providing people with ‘AI relationships’." Grok's companions, Hughes writes, each...

Christianity is growing at an unprecedented rate in several regions around the world, particularly in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, known as the Global South. From the spread of passionate faith-based communities to the establishment of thriving churches in urban centers, Christianity’s growth rate continues to climb. “According to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary”, these trends indicate that Christianity is expanding in new and dynamic ways...Factors like migration, high birth rates, and the influence of revivalist movements are all contributing to the rapid growth. Let’s examine where in the world Christianity is growing...

Antifa terrorists, gang members and rioters are endangering federal officers in American cities.President Trump awarded my friend Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom this month. As a country, we need to honor Charlie’s memory, face some hard facts and take action. Before it’s too late. Charlie’s assassination forced Americans to confront a dark truth: Leftist extremists are waging war on the rule of law, liberty and our way of life. Terrorists, gang members and rioters routinely attack federal law-enforcement officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under the Biden administration. Our officers have been shot at...

Shocking revelations from earlier this month out of Chicago should jolt every American out of complacency when it comes to public safety. A commander in the Chicago Police Department ordered officers not to respond to calls for help from federal law-enforcement agents who were under duress, surrounded by vehicles and under threat. This should not be dismissed as just a Chicago problem. It is a real, present warning sign for all of us of how deeply fractured our policing institutions have become. What happened in Chicago is not an isolated incident. Rather, it represents the next inflection point in a...

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, the second-highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England, acknowledged the pain the decision would cause. “We believe we have done the right thing,” he said, citing legal and theological guidance, “but we know it will be difficult and disappointing for some.” The Church of England has once again found itself caught between the demands of doctrine and the pressures of a changing world. In mid-October, its bishops voted to suspend a long-anticipated plan that would have tested separate blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples — a move hailed by traditionalists and lamented by reformers. The...

If only the peasants would just surrender! When I saw this headline in the opinion pages of the WSJ, I had high hopes that some scientist pointed out that politicians and bureaucrats can’t control the climate: We Can’t Stop Climate Change, So We Need to Prepare for ItSadly, I was wrong. The article was a pure piece of garbage, essentially claiming that despite the work of green pushers to scare everyone into capitulation to the radical green agenda, people just won’t cooperate. The writers complain that, “Around the world, people are giving priority to higher living standards, economics, and access...

Going back 250 years, the enemies of America thought long and hard about how to destroy the fledgling experiment of a democratic republic that our Founding Fathers had envisioned. It was and continues to be clear to them that America’s strength is a function of three phenomena: - A fervent belief in the God Who makes miracles happen, for just one example the crushing defeat of the thunderously powerful English Empire’s armies by blazing patriots like General George Washington and his ragtag army of American heroes. - An equally ardent belief in and passion for the concept of freedom. Men...

Conservatives are flaming each other over a group chat and liberals are protesting "kings." Meanwhile, Christians in Nigeria are being hunted, murdered, and buried in silence. Video has now emerged of an October 14th mass funeral. Most of these wooden coffins hold children and their mothers. This heartbreaking mass burial of Christians - mostly children and their mothers, actually happened on the 14th. Nigeria will go down in history as the country that has drunken the most Christian blood in all of human history, with zero remorse. Loud shame pic.twitter.com/YTH8Wtcbtj— J. C.

A ruling from the Minnesota Supreme Court found that a transgender powerlifter was discriminated against when USA Powerlifting refused to allow her to compete in women's events. … The Minnesota Supreme Court found the district court rightly granted partial summary judgment for Cooper on a discrimination complaint under a public accommodations statute. Wednesday's ruling found that under Minnesota's Human Rights Act, USA Powerlifting's policy that prohibits transgender women from competing in women's competition constituted sexual orientation discrimination. … However, the case isn't over. Justices also found that USA Powerlifting could be protected against one part of the claim because of...

Many of the women were lured with promises of easy cash jobs during the final months of pregnancyOn the morning of September 2, in Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexican law enforcement raided a remote safehouse and uncovered one of the most grotesque cartel operations they had ever encountered. They found not just the usual drugs but rudimentary medical equipment and bloodstained tarps. The evidence confirmed what many investigators had suspected but couldn’t prove: that growing US demand has created a black market in human babies. Police arrested a brutal female gangster, Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, who was allegedly running an operation that...

When a public high school in Orange County, Florida, aired a weekly “Witchy Wednesday” religious video series on the schoolwide TV system, led by students and featuring detailed instructions on casting spells and performing rituals, including soul cleansing and moon worship, many parents were stunned. The school canceled the series after public outcry and intervention from Liberty Counsel, in which the legal group asked for equal time for Christian instruction. But the larger question remains: Why would a public school introduce spiritual practices rooted in witchcraft to impressionable young students, and what does this reveal about the direction of public...

When the long march through the institutions gives destructive and ridiculous people control of the institutions, the institutions become destructive and ridiculous, and then they become destroyed and ridiculous. The law professor Glenn Reynolds has talked for years about the premise, in public policy, that people can be brought into the middle class if you give them the markers of middle-class status. Having a college degree is middle class, so make it easier to get a college degree. Owning a house is middle class, so lower the barriers to homeownership. 1.) Make it all much easier. 2.) Give people way...

When Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that ChatGPT would begin allowing “erotica for verified adults” starting December 2025, the world crossed a moral line that should never have been approached. His defense — “We are not the elected moral police of the world” — was meant to sound neutral and enlightened. But in reality, it was the digital equivalent of Pontius Pilate washing his hands. This plan is being sold as a matter of “adult freedom,” but make no mistake: this is about normalizing sin, monetizing lust, and expanding the reach of evil under the guise of technology. What...

I watched the clip—again and again—Steven Furtick laughing, giving some guy a piggyback ride in what he calls a church. The people around him cheering, clapping, filming on their phones like the presence of God is some novelty sideshow act. Honestly, this stuff just makes me sick. It should grieve us when what is meant to be holy is dragged through the mud and turned into a circus. There was a time when men trembled to enter the sanctuary and especially when one took the pulpit. When the thought of the Most High, holy and righteous God stirred awe and...

As they grapple with a profound disconnection from their parents and older adults in general, nearly 40% of young adult women in Generation Z — those born between 1999 and 2015 — now identify as religiously unaffiliated, according to new data released by Barna Research. The data from 2,000 adults and teenagers between the ages of 13 and 24 shows that 38% of Gen Z women (ages 18 to 24) currently identify as atheist, agnostic or say they have no faith at all. This is higher than the 32% of men in the same age group who said they are...
