In public debate today, few subjects provoke more confusion, emotion, and controversy than gender ideology. Supporters of transgender activism often claim that the science is “settled” and that those who question the legitimacy of “gender identity” are engaging in harmful denialism. One talking point that has grown more common is the claim that “baseline studies”…
Book Review: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Few texts in modern history have generated more controversy—or inspired more movements—than The Communist Manifesto, penned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. At just under 25 pages in most English translations, this slim document is anything but minor in its impact. It has shaped revolutions, toppled monarchies, reconfigured political economies, and left an…
Book Review: The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor
There are few names in history that generate as much ideological fervor—or controversy—as Karl Marx. He is hailed as a liberator by some, vilified as a destroyer by others. For over a century, Marx’s ideas have catalyzed revolutions, toppled governments, and redefined economics and politics around the globe. But what kind of man was Karl…
Book Review: The Christian View of Man by J. Gresham Machen
J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) stands as one of the most courageous and intellectually formidable defenders of orthodox Christianity in the modern era. A New Testament scholar, Presbyterian theologian, and cultural apologist, Machen’s impact stretched far beyond the ivory towers of academia. His career was marked by a deep commitment to truth, clarity in public witness,…
Book Review: A Christian Manifesto by Francis Schaeffer
The year was 1981. Ronald Reagan had just taken office. Roe v. Wade had been law for less than a decade. The Moral Majority had captured the imagination of a growing number of evangelical voters. But in the midst of this awakening, Francis Schaeffer didn’t issue a pep rally speech. He wrote a manifesto. A…
Book Review: It’s Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement by Voddie Baucham
We live in an age where categories are rapidly collapsing. Male and female are considered fluid. Morality is redefined as preference. And now, perhaps most provocatively, sexual behavior is being framed as an issue of civil rights. According to many in modern progressive movements, to identify as LGBTQ+ is not only to express a private…
Book Review: The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy Pearcey
What does it mean to be a man? This is no longer a question confined to self-help books or locker room discussions—it is one of the most hotly contested cultural battlegrounds in Western society. Are men naturally aggressive and domineering, or sacrificial and servant-hearted? Is masculinity inherently toxic, or is there a deeper design behind…
Book Review: Woke Antisemitism by David Bernstein
Antisemitism, often dubbed “the world’s oldest hatred,” has shown a terrifying ability to adapt to new cultural and political climates. Whether through medieval church decrees, 20th-century fascism, or radical Islamist rhetoric, antisemitism finds expression in whichever language the culture speaks. In the 21st century, particularly in elite Western institutions and academic circles, that language is…
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Randi Weingarten, the Democrat Party and the Battle for the American Mind
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is one of the most powerful labor unions in the United States, boasting more than 1.7 million members. It is best known as the national voice for public school teachers, but its influence reaches far beyond collective bargaining for salaries or classroom sizes. Under the leadership of Randi Weingarten…
The National Education Association (NEA), Rebecca Pringle, the Democrat Party, and the Battle for the American Mind
When Americans think about education, they often picture classrooms filled with curious young minds, teachers inspiring students, and the promise of a better future forged through learning. But behind the scenes of lesson plans and standardized tests lies a vast and powerful organization that wields enormous influence over what children are taught and how they…
Three Categories of Marxist Influenced Nations
In recent decades, many people fleeing failed or authoritarian regimes have arrived in the United States from nations shaped by Marxist, Neo-Marxist, or Socialist-Influenced ideologies. Unfortunately, these emigrants, many of them industrious, intelligent individuals, have found themselves in our nation, which is under attack by the same Marxist-influenced ideologies. While terms like “socialism” are often…
Echoes of the Serpent: Gnosticism and Neo-Marxism (wokeness)
One of the most persistent spiritual errors in history is not atheism, but Gnosticism. It is not a single religion but a worldview—a deep structure of belief—that reappears across centuries in different forms. From ancient heretical sects to modern self-help philosophies and identity-based ideologies, Gnosticism survives by adapting itself to its cultural host. At its…
Defending Manhood—the Truth about the Woke “Toxic Masculinity” Smear
In today’s cultural discourse, few terms are wielded with as much venom and imprecision as “toxic masculinity.” Popularized by progressive academics and amplified by corporate media, the phrase has come to represent everything wrong with traditional manhood—assertiveness, strength, leadership, competitiveness, and even stoicism. The assumption is clear: masculinity is a problem that must be fixed.…
The Biblical Rejection of Gay Marriage and Homosexuality
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a narrow 5–4 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, declaring that same-sex couples possess a constitutional right to marry under the 14th Amendment. This watershed moment in American legal and cultural history did not arise from democratic consensus, moral clarity, or faithful jurisprudence. It…
Senator Joseph McCarthy – Vindicated
On a frosty February night in 1950, freshman Senator Joseph R. McCarthy told a Republican audience in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he held “a list of 205 Communists” working in the State Department. Reporters pounced, critics scoffed, and the phrase McCarthyism soon became shorthand for reckless accusation. Yet the deeper question never vanished: Was McCarthy’s…
Saving Nine – The Left’s Attempt to Undermine the Supreme Court
Back in high-school civics we all learned that the federal government resembles a three-legged stool: Congress (the legislative branch) writes the laws, the President (executive branch) carries them out, and the Supreme Court (judicial branch) interprets what those laws mean when real-world disputes arise. Each leg checks and balances the others: Congress can override a…
Independence Day (July 4) and the Culture War
The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is one of the most cherished and patriotic holidays in the United States. It commemorates July 4, 1776, the date on which the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, marking the American colonies’ official break from British rule. The holiday celebrates the birth of…
20 Pro-Abortion Lies and the Truth that Refutes Them
The battle over abortion is not merely political—it is moral, spiritual, and cultural. For over fifty years, abortion advocates have advanced a narrative full of carefully crafted half-truths and outright lies. These lies are not only destructive to preborn life, but also to the hearts and minds of mothers, fathers, and society at large. It’s…
Were the Hippies Proto-Woke? A Christian Analysis of Two Revolutions
From the flower power days of the 1960s to the flag-burning protests of today, America has witnessed multiple waves of cultural rebellion. While today’s culture warriors are driven by Neo-Marxist ideology and “woke” activism, an earlier generation sparked a different revolution—one that traded suits and sermons for tie-dye and psychedelics. But were the Hippies just…
How Can a Man Know What It Feels Like to Be a Woman?
A friend asked a thoughtful and penetrating question: “How does a ‘trans woman’ know what it feels like to be a woman, so that he can verify that he is a woman based on his feelings?” It is a simple question, yet it exposes the soft underbelly of gender ideology, which claims subjective feeling is…
