SCOTUS ruled that schools cannot secretly facilitate a child’s “gender transition” while keeping parents in the dark. Parents—not government bureaucrats—are the primary protectors of their children. Unfortunately, Illinois has moved in the opposite direction, repealing parental notification for abortion and undermining parental authority.

Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just funding science — he was embedding himself inside America’s elite institutions. $17M+ flowed into Harvard. A furnished office. Keycard access for 10 years after his conviction. Emails reveal discussions of eugenics, “designer babies,” gene editing, behavioral modification — even plans for a breeding program at Zorro Ranch. This went far beyond philanthropy.

New evidence and testimony are raising serious questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s high-level financial and political connections. Who funded him? Who worked with him? And what questions still haven’t been answered? Who is the Deep State behind the Deep State?

A major Epstein witness testified under oath for five hours — yet key issues were never pursued, including networks, surveillance systems, and institutional ties. What wasn’t asked may be more revealing than what was said. Oversight without accountability isn’t oversight.

On the morning I began writing this article (02/19/2026), Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His alleged crime? Forwarding confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.

It is no secret that our culture has become increasingly sexualized. More than that, it has been increasingly sexualized towards our children.

Families and communities once cared for new mothers. Now government wants to take their place. Illinois HB 4606 would send state home-visiting programs into homes with newborns. Parents, family, and close friends — not bureaucrats — should guide those first precious months.

Isabella Varian is making headlines for being the first detransitioner to successfully win a lawsuit against her “gender-affirming care” doctors.

Marriage and family are God’s design — the foundation of human flourishing. When families crumble, society follows. Strong homes, faithful fathers, and biblical truth are not optional… they are essential to civilization itself.

Would you be shocked to know that YouTube Kids features R-rated content? Graphic violence. Suicide. Torture. Abuse. Pornography. Yes. All of these things are depicted in the “kid-friendly” version of YouTube.

3.5 MILLION pages of Epstein files — but no real transparency. Names of powerful officials redacted. Required records missing. Bulk downloads blocked. When government “transparency” requires hiding who was involved, something is very wrong. This isn’t openness. It’s obstruction.

The NFL Super Bowl halftime show featuring Puerto Rican rapper, Bad Bunny, was anything but wholesome and in no way communicated anything close to “traditional family values.”

Sexually assaulting a student should never be treated less seriously than bringing a weapon to school. Illinois SB 2991 addresses a real gap in the law — but mandatory punishment demands professional investigations, formal hearings, and a higher evidentiary standard. Protect kids. Get the process right.

When the U.S. Supreme Court decided favorably in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, it was celebrated as a win for adult equality.

Ahhh…it’s February. It’s the month when we reach the half way point of winter. In Illinois, it’s hardly a cause for celebration. Often some of our coldest days of the season are this month. Oh to be in Scottsdale, Arizona, this week!
