As well know, the Francis Scott Key Bridge was destroyed recently, and already the woke elites are calling for it to be renamed.
Key, who wrote what became the basis for our National Motto, was a man of his times. And those times don’t measure up to today’s standards. So off with his head, metaphorically speaking.

Much is going on in our country. Some of it is positive and some of it is negative. Something that seems to get little attention, at least in the media, is how our families are doing. What is the status of the family in America?

Have you ever wondered why so many companies invest so much energy and resources into being woke? After all, business seems like it should be about, well, business!

It's not enough to know that we have the scientific ability to do something. We must also think about the moral significance of the thing we choose to do. The artificial reproduction technology known as IVF is no exception. If anything, it is the quintessential example; what may seem to be a miracle of science of infertile couples actually brings with it a host of severe moral complications.

While the corporate media is hyperventilating about threats to so-called “abortion rights,” we are hearing very little about the dangerous situation that has been created by the Biden Administration's open borders policy. For example, have you even heard about the illegal immigrant from Lebanon caught sneaking over the border last month?

I saw a Facebook post recently re-shared by a friend I admire. You will need to read it all the way through to get the gist of it. Since it was a public post, here’s some of it:

Despair and disdain over the cultural moment grow more common with every passing day. Listening to news outlets brings a fog of disbelief and discouragement. Has the world gone insane? Much of the babble billowing across the airwaves invokes words, such as charlatan, libertine, racist, bigot, reprobate, deplorable, ingrate, selfishness and envy, as apt descriptions of the proponents and their propositions.

What are we doing to our children? Today, children are told—starting at 3 or 4 years old—that we don’t really know if they are a boy or a girl.
