The notion that families are the essential building blocks of civilization and have been under assault in the culture is not dependent on any specific religious doctrine.
No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others. You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all. Enough! If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists. If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized. For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent. It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

Any graduation ceremony prior to high school is an abomination and should be illegal in the United States.

I covered Jason Kidd when he played for the Nets. I know one of his childhood friends. I've been to his house, met his kids, then-wife, and Pilates Instructor. And I have insight from many people who worked with him in his coaching years. This is a great firing.

I was braising an avocado for breakfast this morning when my four year old daughter Allegra ran into the room with tears in her eyes. “Daddy,” she screamed. “Did you hear that Elisabeth Warren killed the discount airline Spirit?” I nodded. “They wanted to merge, but she said no. Now they’re gone forever. The savings are gone. The rowdy crowds. Everything. It’s all gone.” I nodded again. This time I was choked up too. “Will people on work release even be able to fly now?” I shook my head. “Even grandma?” With that, I lost it. We threw our arms around each other and sobbed.

Replying to @RepShriThanedar
This is monstrous, Congressman. We have our dignity and basic rights--human rights--in virtue of our humanity, not age, size, or stage of development, anymore than race, sex, or ethnicity. Human dignity is inherent, not acquired. All of us have it, and we have it from the point at which we come into being; we do not lose it except by ceasing to be (i.e., by dying). On this principle--that of the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each and every member of the human family--all else depends. It is the foundational principle of justice. If we bandon it, then all other claims of justice are rendered arbitrary ... and Thracymachus wins.

Commentators are the worst for this #RSL game @AppleTV ... "this could kickstart LA for the rest of the season!". TWO BS PK's is what they have... and absolute garbage play otherwise.

When I was living in Buenos Aires, Diego Maradonna got good and coked up, stole a city bus, crashed it into a building downtown, and was signing autographs for the police when they arrived. Tell me again who you think the #goat is? 🐐 #rsl

It’s basically the same chart as one showing educational achievement.
americans in the southeast of the US have a 20 year shorter life expectancy than those elsewhere insane difference why?

I cannot stress enough how important it is that you refuse these types of things when taking your kids to the doc. Good work @JulieLovesFluff
I took my 11 year old to her checkup this morning and the nurse asked me to step out of the room for a moment. I politely declined and she said, "It's just for a moment." And I told her, "No thank you, given all the stories about children being abused my husband and I decided to never leave our children alone with anyone, even medical providers. Anything you need to do or say you can do with me in the room." She looked all miffed and just left, no idea what her plan was but she didn't feel the need to continue it with me present and that makes me even more suspicious?? When she left my daughter thanked me for not leaving, she's already shy about the doctor, her eyes got so wide when the lady asked me to leave.

Utah is what California used to be. If Governor Cox and that anti-white Senator who went after Jeremy Carl gave their way, Utah will become what California now is.

I’ve had some version of this conversation several times over the past year or so. “Hey, what do you think about this: the conspiracy with the Jews, the moon thing, Erika Kirk, Nephilim, etc.?” Me: “Can I ask you a question first?” Them: “Sure.” Me: “What’s your approach to life insurance? Are you going whole life or term?” Them: “What does that have to do with this?” Me: “Humor me.” Them: “I honestly haven’t thought about that.” Me: “That’s exactly my point. You should be thinking about things like that. You should be thinking about how to secure your family if you die. You should be thinking about wealth transfer. There are a lot of real responsibilities that demand clear thought: your kids’ education, the culture of your home, the well-being of your wife, vocational and skill development, long-term stability. There’s a lot we should be thinking about. And yet many of us haven’t done that thinking on the things that actually matter most to our immediate, God-given responsibilities. Instead, we’ve spent a great deal of time consuming and speculating about things that, in comparison, matter very little.” Most don’t need more information about speculative threats. They need tighter focus on immediate responsibilities. There’s good and necessary work to get done.
