After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

Climate alarm 'blaring from every direction'
Climate-driven disasters are reaching "nightmare proportions" due to humanity's "addiction" to fossil fuels, a top UN official warned on Tuesday.

Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion. The active agents in mifepristone - the first of the two "abortion pills" - remain active post-excretion, i.e., they enter public water systems. The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested.

Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life.

IVF: Are We Playing God with Human Embryos

Imagine a young married couple. They have dreamed of having children since the day they were married. Month after month they hope, pray, and wait?but nothing happens. Eventually, their doctor suggests in vitro fertilization (IVF). Friends encourage them to try it. Social media is full of happy stories about babies born through IVF.

Millions celebrate IVF as a scientific miracle that fulfills the dream of parenthood. The pain of infertility is real, and every couple who longs for a child deserves compassion, understanding, and support. However, compassion should never prevent us from asking an important moral question: Does every technological possibility respect the dignity of human life?

From a Catholic perspective, the answer is not simply whether IVF works, but whether it respects God's plan for human life and the dignity of every child. Two serious concerns arise. First, IVF attempts to replace God's design for the beginning of human life. Second, it risks treating unborn babies as products that can be created, selected, bought, sold, or discarded according to human preferences. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

New! God Is Not a Socialist: Biblical and Moral Reasons for Rejecting Socialism

Kris Dhillon
Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise "equity," "inclusion," and "social justice" but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority.

The Contraceptive Imperative

Judie Brown
You don't have to go out of your way today to be confronted with the subject of contraception. In November 2012, the United Nations Population Fund issued its annual report entitled "By Choice, Not by Chance," describing contraception as a global "right" for women, and calling for the removal of all social and financial obstacles to access to its presumed benefits. In the very same month, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists publicly called on the federal government to permit over-the-counter sales of birth control pills.

For most couples, this desire for children is easily fulfilled. But what happens when that desire to welcome a child is difficult or not possible? What happens when a mother is unable to raise her child? It can lead to feelings of despair, a lack of hope, and desperation

The End of a Regime? Understanding the Extraction of Maduro

Angel Alvarado
The story of Maduro's extraction is not a tale of foreign intervention. It is a story of internal collapse, human suffering, and the eventual recognition - by Venezuelans and by the world - that a government cannot indefinitely destroy the lives of its citizens without facing consequences.

You can't stare down reality: population collapse has begun

Louis T. March
The study is a wake-up call for a world sleepwalking into unprecedented social upheaval. It examines"implications of a new demographic reality brought on by falling fertility and increasing longevity... reshaping global populations." This is not a forecast; it is unfolding as we speak. The implications are breathtaking. Humanity is on the cusp of precipitous and prolonged population collapse caused by an unprecedented decades-long birth dearth.
