Millions of American women remain unmarried because they cannot find the type of man they’re looking for to raise a family, argues Timothy Goeglein, Vice President of Focus on Family. “In reliable studies, women say if they're going to be married, they're looking for an economic partner. They're looking for someone… who can be an excellent father.” The demand for such men is presently far larger than the supply, he says. Men especially are facing a deep, spiritual crisis, and millions of prime-aged men are neither working nor looking for work. @FocusFamily

When someone becomes suicidal, our culture often responds with panic. We rush to medicate, hospitalize, and contain them before taking the time to truly listen to what they are trying to say. Many people in that state do not need immediate silencing. They need someone willing to sit with them and hear the depth of their pain without fear. They need space to speak honestly about why life feels unbearable and why death feels appealing in that moment. When those conversations are shut down too quickly, the isolation and despair they already feel can grow even deeper. Sometimes, genuine human connection can reach people in ways that force, panic, and medication cannot. @janjekielek @amthoughtleader

Greetings from the Presidential Office Building in Taiwan! Just wrapped an interview with Taiwan’s “cat warrior” VP @bikhim; we tackle Taiwan’s new initiative to solicit intelligence from mainland China and a lot more—@AmThoughtLeader coming soon. Tomorrow I’ll be testifying at in the Taiwanese parliament on “Killed to Order”; also thrilled to be here for the @Rotary international meetings for the first time with the End Forced Organ Harvesting Rotary Satellite Club, part of CAAHT. And a big THANK YOU to our fantastic team!

Timothy Goeglein just delivered an urgent warning: “We are definitively, with no debate, in a demographic winter.” “We have never had a lower marriage rate.” “And we’ve never had a lower fertility rate.” He told me that young Americans have been raised to believe that family and children are bad things. And it goes hand in hand with the vilification of religion. “We need to tell a new generation that marriage is a really good thing.” “Babies are really good things.” “Intergenerational connections among families and communities of faith are really good things.” “If someone were to ask me: what is the biggest single challenge facing America in its 250th year?” “I would say that the biggest challenge facing us is a spiritual crisis of a pretty substantial order.” “And I would say: show me a country with a strong spiritual and religious base, and I’ll show you a strong country.”

"Extractive repression" — destroy a group while monetizing it. @JanJekielek connects his father-in-law's Holocaust survival to what his research says is happening with forced organ harvesting in China today. The term is new. The logic isn't. Full @DerateTheHate conv. 🔗 in 🧵

The U.S. went from 8,000 drug overdose deaths a year in the early 1980s to more than 112,000. President Trump’s drug czar, Sara Carter, says children are being killed by fentanyl disguised as common prescription drugs. “We went from 8,000 in the early 1980s… to 112,000 Americans in one year.” “We see our children dying.” “They died because they ordered an Adderall.” “What they get is a pure fentanyl tablet.” “When their parents find them, they find them dead on the floor of their bedroom.” @SaraCarterDC @ONDCP @DrugCzar47

Tens of thousands of Americans die from illicit narcotics each year. “It is unrestricted warfare,” says White House “drug czar” Sara Carter. “Could you imagine if a bomb was dropped every year in the United States, and 100,000 people were just wiped off the planet just every year?” The equivalent is happening now. U.S. federal investigators recently discovered a sophisticated tunnel fifty-five feet underground between Mexico and California—among the largest ever to be found—with electricity, a rail system, ventilation, reinforced walls, and a sophisticated hydraulic lift system. White House “drug czar” Sara Carter estimates that it was used to transport narcotics worth hundreds of millions of dollars. @ONDCP @SaraCarterDC @DrugCzar47

“You can’t experiment anymore.” President Trump’s Drug Czar, Sara Carter, says Americans need to realize the drug environment has changed. One mistake can now cost you your life, and drug dealers don’t care if their customers die. “I'm meeting with a family… their son went to a party after law school in Miami.” “Made one big, huge mistake.” “Did a line of cocaine that had fentanyl in it.” “He seized, had a heart attack, and died in an instant at the party.” “This is unforgiving.” “We have adversaries that have contaminated our supply chain.” “We have cartels that could care less.” “They do not care because there’s always another customer around the corner.” @SaraCarterDC

Márton Sulyok just told me there are “big political and social movements” against China’s growing economic power within Hungary. “There’s battery factories all over causing all kinds of environmental trouble.” “Non-compliance with laws has been an issue.” “This might actually be a contributing factor to turn down the volume… on the Chinese connection.” “It will or it might disappear from public discourse as a point of pride, or it will be less emphatic.” I’ve been following China’s construction of a massive BYD factory in Hungary. China analysts have described these BYD vehicles as intelligence-gathering tools. National intelligence law in China requires BYD, or any other company, to spy and provide intelligence to the CCP. And they’re never allowed to admit that they’re doing it. Watch my full interview with Sulyok on Hungary’s massive political shake-up below:🧵

“Only 13% of all American 8th graders can, with basic proficiency, say what the American timeline is.” “Which is to say less than 15% can accurately say at 8th grade the American Revolution, the Civil War, the First and Second World Wars, etc.” Timothy Goeglein says America’s education system is failing despite the billions of dollars poured into it every year. “That to me is really stunning.” “It’s a lower number than I would have thought.” “In light of the billions of dollars that our country pours into education of all kinds.” “I think it’s a real failure.”

There are two key pillars behind the Chinese Communist Party’s murder-for-organs industry. First: dehumanization. Using language reminiscent of Nazi Germany propaganda, the CCP brainwashed the Chinese population into believing Falun Gong practitioners are dangerous and less than human. And now they’re using the same playbook against the Uyghurs. Second: a massive, incarcerated population. By 2005, the U.S. State Department estimated that half of all people in China’s Reeducation Through Labor camp system were Falun Gong practitioners. From there, the machinery took shape. They started blood typing, tissue typing, and organ typing these people and all their vitals—turning them into a living database of “donors.” And that’s how the CCP were able to build a system that’s the exact reverse of an ethical system. In the rest of the world, patients wait—hoping for a match. In China, a match triggers an execution. When a wealthy buyer or party official needs an organ, a prisoner is killed on demand. We’ve known about it for 20 years. And we’ve mostly turned a blind eye. I was honored to be invited to speak about my new book “Killed to Order” at the Women’s National Republican Club in New York City. Together let’s end this atrocity.

“In the history of the United States of America, we have never had a lower marriage rate, and we’ve never had a lower fertility rate.” “We are definitively, with no debate, in a demographic winter.” Timothy Goeglein says America is facing both a fertility crisis and a spiritual crisis. “We need to tell a new generation that marriage is a really good thing.” “Babies are really good things.” “Children are really good things.” “If we really want to resolve most of the cultural challenges in 21st century America.” “It’s impossible, in my view, to have that conversation without an immediate conversation on the future of the American family.” “What is the biggest single challenge facing America in its 250th year?” “The biggest challenge facing us is a spiritual crisis of a pretty substantial order.” “Show me a country with a strong spiritual and religious base, and I’ll show you a strong country.”

“The biggest single challenge facing America in its 250th year…is a spiritual crisis of a pretty substantial order,” says Timothy Goeglein, Vice President at Focus on the Family. “Show me a country with a strong spiritual and religious base, and I'll show you a strong country.” He’s the co-author of the new book “What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Freedom, and Family.” From family dysfunction to high rates of suicide and pornography addiction, what are the root causes of this social malaise? What we are witnessing are “the practical ramifications of destroying an objective moral code… of saying you can't really define good and evil,” he says. @FocusFamily

🚨This is what the UFC setup at the White House actually looks like: Octagon dropped on the South Lawn this gigantic custom “claw” lighting/arena rig towering right in front of the White House. It's the first pro sporting event in history at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. UFC Freedom 250 is this Sunday, June 14. Main event: Topuria vs Gaethje for the undisputed lightweight title. Co-main: Pereira vs Gane for interim heavyweight gold. (Thanks for the clip @mada7ina!) #UFCFreedom250 #UFCWhiteHouse

Viktor Orbán’s landslide election loss may mean massive change for Hungary’s relationship with the US, the EU, and China. Watch my full interview with constitutional law scholar Márton Sulyok on the new government’s plans below:theepochtimes.com/epochtv/wh…

What if the groups that are considered trustworthy fact checkers are not what they claim to be? Journalist Jacob Siegel says that’s exactly what’s happening, and most people have no idea. “By 2015, that apparatus is already beginning to look at the necessity of not only censorship in the overt sense.” “But also more subtle forms of informational control.” “The establishment of a new fact-checking apparatus.” “Who possibly could object to facts, right?” “There’s a very influential one called the International Fact-Checking Network.” “Which would later become the kind of in-house fact-checker for Facebook.” “They have the appearance of neutral civic organizations.” “They’re actually highly partisan.” “They’re integral to this whole of society coordination.” @jacob_siegel

Very happy to be back on @AmThoughtLeader for another great conversation with @JanJekielek discussing The Information State.

“We have these emails from social media executives saying, ‘We can’t keep up with the volume of these censorship requests coming from the Biden White House.’” The Censorship Industrial Complex was in full force under the Biden administration. Jacob Siegel breaks down the scale of the censorship campaign and how the public eventually began pushing back. “We now have this trail of emails from top Biden administration officials calling for RFK Jr. to be censored.” “This is happening as soon as the Biden administration takes office.” “They’re sending out quote unquote requests, but really orders to the social media companies.” “The Biden administration’s COVID censorship became so extreme, so overt, and so absurd.” “You can’t go to a loved one’s funeral.” “You can’t attend the wedding of your sister.” “And you’re not even allowed to speak openly about these things.” “Or to investigate the origins of this disease.” “The censorship efforts become impossible to deny.” “This begins the process of a partial undoing of the information state.” @jacob_siegel

The CCP’s killed-to-order organ system that uses prisoners of conscience as a living organ bank is a macabre reality that must end. Thank you Chairman @RepBrianMast of @HouseForeignGOP for inviting @Eastofethan and me to brief you and @CECCgov Co-chair Rep. Chris Smith on this, especially recent developments and possible cartel connections. It makes no sense for the US and other free nations to have any ties to this dark industry. [1/2]
