Restraint and the Tornado Tragedy

restraint, tornado, Tragedy'0 comment

Some politicians and government officials can’t let a crisis go to waste. In the matter of the tornadoes that devastated parts of Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, restraint was called for, but went unanswered. Asked about the cause of such devastation, President Joe Biden said, “We all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming.” He later walked back the comment to a “wait-and-see” position. Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell also blamed climate change, saying such disasters will be the “new normal” from now on.…

What if former President Ronald Reagan was right? What if freedom really is never more than “one generation away from extinction,” as the then-governor of California said during his inaugural address in 1967.  A Purcellville, Virginia-based Christian youth group called Generation Joshua has heeded Reagan’s warning and is working tirelessly to empower and educate teenagers to become future leaders of our nation.  The organization exists “to teach high school students about their country, where it comes from, why it’s free, and how to keep it that way,” Joel Grewe, the…

Medals for Jumping to Conclusions About Jussie Smollett

about, Smollett, medals, Jumping, Conclusions, Jussie0 comment

If love means never having to say you’re sorry (it doesn’t), then being a member of the media means never having to admit you were wrong (it does). I wouldn’t write about the Jussie Smollett case and his conviction for lying about a hoax he perpetrated if it didn’t reflect something seriously wrong in the culture. Smollett was convicted in Chicago last week of faking an attack by a supposed Trump-MAGA man he claimed uttered racist and homophobic slurs. Normally, I would ignore this story, along with other tabloid trash…

What I’ve Learned Rescuing My Daughter From Her Transgender Fantasy

from, daughter, learned, Fantasy, Transgender, I’ve, Rescuing0 comment

My daughter’s story is no longer novel. Stories like it are occurring in your state, your town, and perhaps even on your street. Gender dysphoria—the incongruence between the mind and the body—moves stealthily and quickly to invade girls and boys alike. But this isn’t a cautionary tale. It’s a warning. My daughter was an ultrafeminine girl since birth. She insisted that her room be painted pink, and she refused to wear anything but dresses until third grade. She avoided her older brother’s toys and sports, choosing tea sets and Shopkins,…

Will New York Times, Washington Post Return Pulitzers for Misleading ‘Russia Collusion’ Stories?

In 2018, journalists from The New York Times and The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize in national reporting for their biased and inaccurate coverage of Russia’s alleged collaboration with the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 election, a claim we now know was a hoax. So, when are they going to return the prize? If this sounds familiar, it should. This is not the first time the prize—which is supposed to recognize outstanding achievement and public service in journalism—was awarded for misleading and discredited coverage. In 1931, The New York Times published…
