For the better part of a year, we've been reporting about Richard Cox, the Tier III registered child sex offender currently terrorizing women and girls in and around Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia.

Advertisement Back in September, we learned Cox, a registered child sex offender, had schedules for children's swim classes on his phone, presumably so he could be in the locker room before and after those classes took place. VA's Democratic gubernatorial...

Homosexual throple allowed to adopt child in Canada A court in Quebec has granted three men in a homosexual polyamorous relationship full legal parental rights over a three-year-old girl, marking one of the most radical redefinitions of family yet seen in Canada. The case follows a 2025 ruling declaring that limiting children to one mother and one father was “unconstitutional,” opening the door to so-called “multi-parent” households. The men—Eric LeBlanc, Jonathan Bédard, and Justin Maheu—had been fostering the child for two years before being formally authorized to adopt her. Under the new framework, the court recognized all three as equal...

The Trump administration has agreed to settle a lawsuit by restoring webpages containing health- and science-related information, including resources on HIV and LGBTQ health issues, that had been deleted to comply with a series of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump.

Other Trump orders targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in both government and the private sector, and threatened to strip federal funding from events or organizations...

Vice President Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, brings a track record to the Democrat ticket that could help energize the country's left-wing base along with several progressive transgender policies aimed at children.

This laid the groundwork for several of his more progressive LGBTQ policies. The law tells courts in Minnesota not to follow prosecutions from other states against people who come to...

All of it is Queer"We are so back" is a current meme indicating how some part of "woke" culture has been pushed back, but even the most anti-woke conservatives stand defenseless against gay culture.One of my favorite homosexuals of all time was Justin Raimondo, founder of Antiwar.com and author of the 2008 book Reclaiming the American Right, who once said that the best thing about being homosexual was all the sneaking around. That was when there was a closet; ahh, the closet. Most people in those days knew who was “that way,” who was “light in the loafers.” But they...
