We Can’t Protect Kids Without Fathers - TERRY SCHILLING

However, it is impossible to understand the increasing threat to children without also recognizing the widespread assault on the American family that has taken place in recent decades.

There should be no doubt that there is a crisis. By any measure, America’s children today are struggling. 

• Academically, students have never been in worse shape — according to the National Assessment for Educational Progress, in 2022 only 36% of fourth-graders were proficient in math and only 33% could read at grade level.
• Our kids are also suffering from a severe mental health crisis. The number of children on anti-depressants grew by over 40% from 2015 to 2021, and youth suicides increased by 62% from 2007 to 2021.

...the most important, and perhaps least acknowledged, cause has been the disappearance of fathers from the lives of their kids.
There’s no getting around it: dads have not been as involved in protecting their children as they should have been. 

• And this has resulted in a disaster for everyone...

Is "the fix" in?

Instagram urges users to reconsider following Tucker Carlson in 'insane warning' | Blaze Media: 

"This combination of scale and independence is a serious threat to established power," continued Patel. "That is the only reason why people can't even go to a Tucker Carlson birthday post on Instagram without some insane warning." "Luckily, people are on to this," Patel added, noting that they've elected to sidestep "big tech censors" like Instagram altogether and go straight to Tucker Carlson's website.

"In Virginia, the law says that in a regular traffic case, you have the presumption of innocence, you have the right to remain silent, you have a right to a jury trial – all of the criminal protections that we get," Anderson said. "That’s what the case is about. If the court finds that traffic tickets are entitled to full constitutional protections, then I think we have a real shot at getting this injunction."

The evolution of Pop from being the music of freedom to being the official soundscape of the dumbest regimes JUPPLANDIA

• Sometimes the most infuriating aspect of living through dystopia is not the lies, but the mediocrity.
• Dystopia’s have no room for genuine creativity, genius, or talent...
• During the Soviet era and the Cold War, western culture was producing a vibrancy and excitement that the heavily regulated, controlled and oppressed artists of the Communist world could not possibly match...Creativity doesn’t flourish when a man with a clipboard and a gun is examining every line for forbidden things...

Today, we are in a very different situation. 

The modern Communist is aligned entirely with the modern Bright Lights...

Corporate America finally wises up to the scam. - Joan Sammon 

• From Boeing to Starbucks and BP to Budweiser, the landscape of Wall Street is increasingly strewn with failed executive boards that adopted ideological policies that have been bad for business...
• Filled with acolytes from some of America’s most prestigious business schools, executive boards have been persuaded by promises of increased executive compensation -- lots more money -- to not question, not challenge and not fight the adoption of transient faddish standards into boardroom decisions, even in direct violation of their fiduciary obligations to shareholders.
• Now...shareholders are finally demanding that the ideologically strident environmental, social and governance nonsense known as "ESG," economic foolishness underpinned by narratives of "climate catastrophe" and the make-work, economically suicidal foolishness of "diversity equity and inclusion" (DEI), be scrapped...

Prices at the grocery store changing before your eyes

But the cost of an item could change in the time it takes you to walk from the deli to the frozen aisle. - By Kim

"Grocery stores across the country are swapping out printed price stickers on aisles for electronic ones. 

• Retailers say it saves time...
• Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) are already in place in Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh stores and in regional chains, like Schnucks in the Midwest. Walmart plans to add ESLs to 2,300 stores by 2026.
• They have a point about saving time...The typical Walmart store stocks roughly 120,000 different products. Adjusting all those prices manually takes days. 
• With the ESL system, thousands of prices can be updated in the blink of an eye. Prices can change every 10 seconds...

Audrey Hale, a transgender radical leftist, massacred three young children and three adults in a premeditated, anti-white racial attack on Christians.

• A Nashville journalist has been threatened with prison time if he doesn't reveal his source who leaked Audrey Hale's manifesto, the transgender Covenant school shooter who massacred three young children and three adults in a premeditated, anti-white racial attack on Christians.
• The Tennessee Star published the bombshell manifesto after the federal and local governments worked to block the public from seeing it, citing concerns it could be used as a roadmap for copycat school shooters in the future and there could be "unintended consequences for the segment of the population more vulnerable or open to conspiracy theories."...

Some have missed the point!

Climate Change Information is Sanitized for Your Protection

The public is right to be apprehensive of official proclamations whenever qualified professionals are strongly discouraged and even prevented from challenging dubious “settled science.” By Anthony J. Sadar

"Climate change information disseminated to the public has a huge political filter. 

• In the 1970s, besides poor air quality, the three biggest air-related issues were depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, acid rain, and climate change. The climate change angst was in a state of flux, with a solid leaning toward the coming of the next ice age.
• As the 1980s rolled in, progress was underway to limit ozone-depleting chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons) and to curtail acid rain by reducing power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide, among other actions. 
• Climate change concern was veering from cooling to warming and the “greenhouse effect” became the popular nomenclature (later to morph into “global warming,” then “climate change,” and more dire terminology)...

The only reason!

What the IDF just said about Hamas should "TERRIFY everybody | Blaze Media: 

“[His statement] should terrify everybody,” according to Glenn.

“This is about good versus evil ... not just for Israel. The West is riddled with supporters of Hamas and their clones. They're marching in our own streets! Do you think if Hamas is re-energized, it's going to be good for America?” he asks.

“If Israel fails in this, the world will be darker for it, but it will not stop there. They will come for the rest of us. [Hagari] is wrong.”

Snopes Suddenly Discovered that Biden and the MSM Have Been Lying About Trump for Years DAVID STROM

It only took seven years, hundreds of thousands of repetitions of falsehoods, and a presidential campaign predicated on a lie for Snopes to fact-check a claim about President Trump praising White supremacists.

Joe Biden has pushed this hoax for years now, and even claimed he ran for president because Trump called White supremacists very fine people.
Few people in the media ever contradicted this narrative, even though there was no question that it was false...

Defense Department sued over killing 'Duty, Honor, Country' slogan | WND | by Around the Web: 

A government watchdog, observing what could be a step in the transition of West Point to "Wokey" Point, has sued the Department of Defense over the decision to kill the "Duty, Honor, Country" slogan at the military academy. "Given the woke virus infecting West Point, deleting the words 'Duty, Honor, Country' from its mission statement has sparked justified concern about what the Army's rising leadership is being taught at the United States Military Academy," explained Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton.
