The family is not a niche issue, a private lifestyle preference, or a sentimental talking point reserved for holidays and greeting cards. It is the most basic social institution in any civilization and the primary mechanism by which moral norms, economic stability, and social trust are transmitted from one generation to the next. When families…
Critical Issues Dividing the Parties and the Nation – USAID Funding
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) occupies a curious place in American public life. It is rarely discussed in everyday political conversation, seldom appears in campaign debates, and is often described in vague terms such as “foreign aid,” “humanitarian assistance,” or “development work.” Yet USAID controls tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, operates…
Silencing the Saints: The Left’s Hypocrisy on Faith and Public Life
Americans live in a strange moment. For all our talk about “free speech,” “pluralism,” and “diversity,” there is one voice that many in our cultural elite insist should remain silent: the Christian voice. You hear it in classrooms, corporations, and newsrooms—often delivered with the smirk of enlightened certainty—that “religion has no place in public policy,”…
How the Left Has Hijacked the Word “Dignity”—And Why Christians Must Resist
Western culture is experiencing a quiet but powerful struggle over the meaning of words. Not long ago, terms like love, justice, freedom, compassion, and dignity carried Christian assumptions about truth, human nature, and moral responsibility. But today, many of these old, once-stable words have been redefined under the pressures of progressive ideology. The battle is…
The Left’s Hypocritical Colonization of the West
A college campus can sometimes feel like a confessional without forgiveness. A Western student rises during a seminar on world history, clutching a laptop containing cobalt from Congolese mines, to denounce “the evils of European colonization.” Around the table, heads nod in solemn agreement. No one dares to point out that the student’s own worldview—steeped…
When ‘Black Lives Matter’ Meets the Abortion Industry: The Moral Collapse of the Left
Introduction: The Apologist at the Clinic A Christian apologist stood outside a Chicagoland abortion clinic and noticed something strange. The clinic staff, who defended abortion as a “woman’s right,” was wearing apparel emblazoned with the slogan “Black Lives Matter.” The irony was striking: within those very walls, thousands of black infants had been aborted—disproportionately so.…
Media Hall of Shame Series: The Nation
The Nation is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, founded in 1865 in the aftermath of the Civil War. Originally conceived as a classical liberal outlet focused on civil discourse, The Nation has undergone a radical transformation over the decades. Today, it functions as one of the most ideologically left-wing publications…
The Hidden Pipeline of Political Funding
If you ask most Americans whether their tax dollars should be spent advancing abortion access, promoting transgender surgeries for minors, or accelerating mass immigration, polling shows that large majorities either strongly oppose or hold significant reservations about such policies. Yet critics allege—and many prominent figures from the political, legal, and watchdog community suspect—that these same…
Media Hall of Shame Series – USA Today
At first glance, USA Today may not seem like an obvious candidate for a “Hall of Shame.” Compared to overtly ideological outlets like Rolling Stone or The Nation, USA Today presents itself as cheerful, accessible, and middle-of-the-road. Its colorful graphics, digest-style layout, and bite-sized summaries are designed to appeal to a broad, mainstream audience. But…
You Might Be Woke If….
“Woke” once meant being alert to injustice. Today, it describes a full-fledged ideology—a secular religion rooted in critical theory, radical subjectivism, and revolutionary politics. It teaches people to see all of life through the lens of oppression, privilege, and identity group conflict. The “woke worldview” believes that truth is socially constructed, moral norms are oppressive,…
Media Hall of Fame: The Daily Wire
In an era where once-trusted media institutions have succumbed to the dogmas of progressivism, where truth is sacrificed on the altar of narrative, and where many conservative outlets tread lightly for fear of cancellation, The Daily Wire stands apart. Bold. Unapologetic. Effective. Founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing, The Daily Wire began…
Media Hall of Fame Series: GB News (UK)
In an era where much of the British press has surrendered to ideological conformity, corporate groupthink, or government appeasement, GB News has emerged as a beacon of dissent, common sense, and free inquiry. Launched in 2021, GB News was widely mocked by its progressive media rivals. But rather than crumble under the weight of criticism,…
Media Hall of Fame Series: CBN News
In an age where the mainstream media industry is awash in relativism, selective outrage, and secular dogma, CBN News stands out as a powerful exception—one that not only reports the truth but does so with spiritual conviction and biblical clarity. As the news arm of the Christian Broadcasting Network, CBN News brings something few other…
Media Hall of Shame – PBS
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) presents itself as a calm, steady, trustworthy institution in a media environment that often feels shrill and partisan. For decades, it has wrapped its programming in a soothing tone, authoritative narrators, and orchestral theme music designed to convey seriousness, culture, and objectivity. From PBS NewsHour to Frontline, from Washington Week…
A Christian Response: “Jesus Never Mentioned Homosexuality”
The claim that “Jesus never mentioned homosexuality” is one of the most common—and most misleading—assertions made by those attempting to harmonize the LGBTQ movement with Christianity. It appears in Progressive pulpits, activist manifestos, and even church mission statements that promote “inclusion” over biblical truth. At face value, the claim sounds reasonable. After all, if Jesus…
Refuting the Lie That Gender-Confused Children Will Commit Suicide Without “Transitioning”
It has become a common refrain in modern discourse: “Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” This emotionally charged question, repeated endlessly in media coverage, school board meetings, school counseling offices, and activist circles, implies that gender “transition” is a matter of life or death for children with gender dysphoria. The…
What is Toxic Empathy, and How Does it Relate to Wokeness and Gender Ideology?
In an age where feelings are often elevated above facts, and emotional affirmation is considered a moral imperative, the concept of toxic empathy offers a necessary warning. Coined and explored by Christian thinkers like Joe Rigney, toxic empathy describes a form of emotional identification that loses its moral bearings. It is not empathy itself that…
Toxic Empathy vs. Biblical Compassion – The Emotional Tyranny of the Woke Revolution
In our age of expressive individualism and cultural decline, one counterfeit virtue is being weaponized to dismantle the remaining moral framework of the West—toxic empathy. Promoted by the Neo-Marxist progressive left and increasingly adopted within misguided corners of the Christian Church, toxic empathy demands not that we help others, but that we surrender to their…
Be Aware of the Intentional, Deceptive Conflation of False Gender Ideology with Real Intersex Conditions
I recently watched a video of a local school board meeting. A community member mentioned intersex conditions during his three minute allotment. I am not sure what his objective was, but it seemed to be geared towards justifying gender ideology beliefs through conflating them with disorders of sexual development (DSDs), more commonly called intersex conditions.…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of Science and Medicine
Over the past half-century, activists steeped in Neo-Marxist theory have learned to wear lab coats. By re-defining words, leveraging crisis, and silencing critics, they have steered whole branches of science and medicine toward political ends. This post tells that story in plain English, offers real-world examples, and sketches a path back to honest inquiry. Neo-Marxism…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of The Military
The U.S. military has long stood as a symbol of national unity, meritocracy, and upward mobility. For generations, it has offered young men from impoverished backgrounds—regardless of race—a clear path to economic stability and personal growth. Enlistees benefit not only from steady pay, comprehensive healthcare, and educational opportunities through the GI Bill, but also from…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Family and Sexual Ethics
Let’s be honest. If you told a Christian dad in 1950 that one day schools would teach his son he could be a girl, or that the Supreme Court would redefine marriage altogether, he would’ve thought you were insane—or reading science fiction. But here we are. And it didn’t happen overnight. What we’re seeing today…
Critical Theory/Intersectionality – the Ideological Web Behind “Progressivism” and The Democrat Party
In public debates today, words matter—and they matter a great deal. Political movements rise or fall not just based on their substance, but on how they are labeled. The term Progressive, widely used to describe left-wing political and cultural ideologies, carries with it a flattering connotation: that the movement is moving society forward, improving justice,…
Silencing the Saints – Why the Church Must Speak Boldly in the Marketplace of Ideas
In an age where falsehoods are shouted with confidence and truth is whispered with fear, the Church must reexamine its calling. While many Christians are faithful in personal devotion and fellowship within their congregations, a troubling pattern has emerged: a retreat from the public square. We are told to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians…
Are Christians Criticizing Gender Ideology Unloving?
In an Easter editorial, a local newspaper editor-in-chief lamented Christians who criticize gender ideology, implying such objections are inherently unloving. This claim is not just a misunderstanding of Christian theology and ethics; it represents a deeper cultural confusion about what love truly is. Christians who confront the destructive lies of gender ideology are not engaging…
Criminalizing Biblical Counseling – The Rising Global Threat Against Christian Counselors Who Oppose Gender Ideology
What was once considered the compassionate, biblically faithful ministry of pastors and Christian counselors—offering hope, prayer, and moral guidance to the confused and hurting—is increasingly being labeled “conversion therapy” and even “hate speech.” Nowhere is this more evident than in discussions surrounding gender dysphoria. From state laws in the United States to sweeping federal criminal…
Does Gender Ideology Lead to Legalized Pedophilia?
In our current cultural moment, society has grown rightly horrified by child sexual abuse. Even the most radical voices on the left rarely defend or minimize its impact. We know from decades of testimony, psychological research, and moral conscience that sexual exploitation of children leaves a lifelong trail of emotional, spiritual, and psychological destruction. Yet…
What Christians Need to Know about Postmodernism
Postmodernism is more than an academic fad or a passing cultural mood. It represents a deeply influential worldview that has radically shaped Western thought, politics, art, literature, education, and even the church. For the Christian thinker, understanding postmodernism is not optional—it is essential. To engage culture, proclaim truth, and defend the faith in today’s climate,…
School Choice and the Battle for the Minds of American Children
For decades, conservative parents and legislators have sounded the alarm: America’s public school system is no longer a neutral arbiter of education but an ideological battlefield. State-sponsored school choice—whether through education savings accounts (ESAs), charter school access, or voucher programs—has emerged as a critical tool in restoring liberty, excellence, and integrity to the American education…
What Does “Woke” Really Mean?
In today’s political and cultural debates, few words spark more emotion—or confusion—than “woke.” It’s often used as an insult or rallying cry, but it’s rarely defined with any precision. Is it just about being sensitive to racism? Is it a catch-all term for political correctness? Or is it something deeper? This post seeks to define…
Fourteen Lies of Gender Ideology
The cultural revolution being waged over “gender identity” is not a matter of compassion or civil rights—it is a matter of truth versus delusion, science versus ideology, and children’s health versus irreversible harm. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, has spent years exposing the deception at the core of what she rightly…
Public Education and the Rise of Ideological Indoctrination
Some of my friends and acquaintances in the public education system believe that my assessments of their colleagues are too pessimistic. Others quietly affirm what I’ve observed. This letter is for those who think I’ve been too critical. Let me begin with my own memories of school. I went through K–12 primarily in the 1970s…
Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump – A Clear Choice for Rational, Conservative Voters
The 2024 election presents voters with a stark choice—between two vastly different political visions for the country. Unfortunately, many Americans are being emotionally manipulated by corporate media and leftist propaganda rather than soberly examining policy positions. This post is a plea to voters: don’t let irrational fear or media distortion determine your vote. Consider the…
Donald Trump Assassination Attempt and School Board Elections
I would like to offer my opinion on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and add some additional comments on school board elections. It is my contention the Biden/Harris administration, Democrat leadership, news media allies and Secret Service senior leadership intentionally created an environment encouraging the assassination attempt. Democrat leadership and news media…
Are School Board Elections Important? Yes – and More than You Think
I want to encourage conservative voters to carefully consider their choices for school board members in November. Your informed vote counts more than you think. School board elections are difficult due to their non-partisan nature, which allows the possibility of electing individuals that don’t reflect conservative values. Local media interviews are useful to form an…
Do Christians Want a Theocracy?
At a recent local school board meeting, a community member claimed that grooming of children is not occurring within public education. Instead, he maintains grooming is happening in religion. It is an undeniable fact that the Biden administration, Democrat leadership and woke allies are promoting indoctrination of children into gender ideology nationwide despite strong parental…
