Conservative family advocacy Moms for America announced support for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, citing the need for “leaders who are not afraid to fight for what's right.” “We are in the midst of a cultural crisis, and the American family has never been at greater risk. Our God-given rights are under attack, and our children are being taught to disdain the very values that have always made America the freest, most prosperous nation on Earth,” Kimberly Fletcher, the president of Moms for America, said in a Nov. 28 announcement.“What we need most right now...

Former NFL player Sergio Brown has been arrested in connection with his mother’s death after being seen partying in Mexico in the wake of her death, according to a report. He was deported from the country on Tuesday and taken into custody near San Diego based on an arrest warrant issued in Illinois, an unidentified law enforcement source told CNN. Police in San Diego are now reportedly working to transfer the former pro-footballer from Southern California to the Chicago area, where his mother, Myrtle, was found dead in her home last month.

Phyllis Schlafly was a brilliant thinker. Here is proof: “Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate.” “What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.” “I think the main goal of the feminist movement was the status degradation of the full-time homemaker. They really wanted to get all women out of the homes and into the workforce....

Five years ago, after 30 years working in midwifery, I came up with the principles reprinted below. Why do I repost this today? A. "Telehealth" is causing skyrocketing abortions in Colorado. (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4178731/posts) B. A Wyoming judge cannot define "woman" so a sorority must accept a trans "woman" whom the sorority does not want to accept. (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4178718/posts) C. A Canadian woman seeking treatment for suicidal thoughts is asked to consider euthanasia. (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4178754/posts) The above looks insane to me. Sanity is what most people think is normal: "1. Men, women and children need to live with love. This love is an indispensable...

Their inability to plan was totally not her emergency. A traveler is being lauded online for her response to a mother who tried to take away her dream seat in first class — just so she could sit closer to her teen.

The 6-second video, captioned “POV: Flight agent asks me if I want to give up my 1A seat so a child...

Tammy Wynette’s mother gave her the wonderful gift of birth on the 5th of May, 1942. Tammy went on to become a legendary country music champion who fought like hell to get mothers more respect and articulate their needs. Wynette channeled the spirit of Hank Williams away from the interests of men towards the deep concerns of women as mothers. In D-I-V-O-R-C-E she wrote of the pain of family break-up: “I spell out all the hurtin’ words And turn my head when I speak ‘Cause I can’t spell away this hurt That’s drippin’ down my cheek.” Another number one hit....

The abstract of a scientific study undertaken in 1994 has been making the rounds on social media, and it is shocking on two levels. The first wave of shock (although not surprise) comes at you from what the study discovered: the mothers of gender dysphoric boys tend to suffer from a host of mental illnesses of their own.The study (full text can be found here), “Mothers of boys with gender identity disorder: a comparison of matched controls,” was performed by researchers Sonia Marantz and Susan Coates, both of whom are Ph.D.s. The abstract details their predictable but sad nonetheless findings:This...

Sex is great and most guys get more sex in good marriages than by being single. God has arranged things that way to keep families strong. Too many Third Wave Feminists hold motherhood and mothers in contempt. The beauty of Hollywood babes Cyd Charisse, Claire Trevor and Karen Morley is something God created for red-blooded men to take delight in. God Bless Freedom and All Creation's Joys.

She’s got a bevy of baby daddies and she doesn’t care who knows it. A Tennessee woman has hit back at haters who have criticized her for having 11 children with eight different men, saying she’s not ashamed of her unconventional family. The Memphis mama, known on TikTok as Phi, is frequently fielding questions about her children’s fathers on the social media site, where she has clocked up close to 100,000 followers. In a viral video back in August, Phi said there were even advantages to having so many men around. “Let me explain it,” she said. “If you have...

Feminism has made increasing numbers of young and middle-aged women ashamed of their capacity for motherhood. In those circles, it is an insult to be considered "only a mother". But it is what happens between mothers and fathers that sustains most of what is good in us, our culture and our nations. Lest We Forget. God Bless All Mums. Let us pray for them.

The Connecticut mom who strangled her three children before hanging herself left a suicide note for her husband that read, “Sorry, Pedro, I take my kids with me,” his cousin told The Post on Friday. Sonia Loja, 36, had long battled depression and had been crying for days over the shuttering of her illegal child-care business before Wednesday’s horrific murder-suicide in Danbury, said relative Digna Naulaguari, 47. Loja’s devastated husband, Pedro Panjon, saw no signs of the coming violence and only realized that something might be amiss when he got home from work that day — and none of the...

Based on recent reports out of the Supreme Court, it looks like the issue of when a woman or girl can choose to get an abortion may soon be left up to the people in the states to decide—and that is a good thing. It gives people in the states, through their elected representatives, the opportunity to support and nurture vulnerable women and girls and the babies in their wombs. Women and girls need love and encouragement when facing an unplanned pregnancy, not a cold-blooded abortion industry looking to make money off their vulnerability. The abortion industry, like Planned Parenthood,...

QUINCY – Mothers fighting for the rights of their children, grandparents who remember a time before Roe v. Wade, and young people who've never known a world without legal access to abortion came together at Quincy City Hall on Tuesday night to protest a leaked draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the landmark decision just ahead of its 50th anniversary. The group March Forward Quincy organized the "Rally for Roe" at the Hancock-Adams Common in front of city hall at the same time thousands of other groups were gathering nationwide.

Controversial feminist author Jill Filipovic is preaching the “overwhelmingly negative consequences” of stay-at-home moms — and social media watchdogs are coming for her. Filipovic, 38, detailed her stance that these mothers create “worse, more sexist” men — and women who are “psychologically and emotionally worse off” — in a now-viral Twitter thread published on Tuesday. SNIP “The problem with paying people to stay home with kids, though, is that (1) we’re overwhelmingly not talking about ‘people,’ we’re talking about mothers; and (2) pushing women out of work comes with overwhelmingly negative consequences,” begins the thread by the outspoken author of...

Charges will be dropped against a woman who had been arrested and jailed in Texas on a murder charge

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that she believes the “extremist” Supreme Court is “emboldening people in the state legislatures to actually break the law” by passing laws that limit abortions. When asked about an Oklahoma law, Warren said, “I grew up in Oklahoma at a time when abortion was illegal, but even as a little girl, I understood that women still got abortions. Rich women just went somewhere else. They could travel and had plenty of access to abortion. Poor women went to back alleys. Understand that even if Oklahoma says we’re going to prosecute...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the mothers of Russian soldiers in an emotional Sunday night speech — saying he wants them to see the carnage their sons have caused after hundreds of executed civilians were discovered in a mass grave in a Kyiv suburb. “I want every mother of every Russian soldier to see the bodies of the killed people in Bucha, in Irpin, in Hostomel. What did they do? Why were they killed?” Zelensky asked in his nightly address on Sunday.

Gender rights activists today gathered in London to protest as they urged politicians to protect single sex services and spaces. Around 100 protesters wearing the purple, white and green of the suffragettes launched their new movement. The protest was led by three main groups called Sex Matters, Women's Rights Network and Women Uniting. Campaigners said that their movement is growing 'exponentially' but has remained largely underground and online until now. Protesters marched from the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in Victoria Tower Gardens to a sculpture of Milicent Fawcett in Parliament Square. They chanted the slogan of their campaign 'Respect my...
