Governor, you can say "abortion is health care" all day and it won't alter the fact from which you wish to distract us, namely, that abortion is deliberately killing a living member of the human species--a human being and as such a bearer of profound, inherent, and equal dignity.

You can't fight something with nothing. De-Christianized Europe has nothing. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot on the eve of World War II, for Europe's current moment: "If you will not have God, and he is a jealous God, then you should prepare to pay your respects to Allah and Lenin."

If universities cared about the well-being of their students--young women and men alike--they would cut it out with the the freshman orientation and "sexual health" programs that are nothing but propaganda for sexual liberationist ("sex-positivity") ideology and libertinism.

The percentage of teen girls self-identifying as "queer" has dropped by half in just 5 years - and researchers can't figure out why.
Let me save y'all some time and money.

Morocco is supposedly one of the most moderate Muslim countries. Let me show you what that “moderation” looks like.
As a Moroccan convert to Christianity, if I moved back to Morocco, among the many things I will face, for now I will pick the one small detail; restrictions even trying to name my son Peter, Mark, or John, not even in Arabic: Boutros, Morcos, or Youhanna!
Why? Because they’re Christian names.
The Moroccan state doesn’t even officially recognize my conversion. I can abandon Islam, but the government still treats me as Muslim.
Now imagine a Western country telling a convert to Islam: “You cannot name your son Muhammad or Omar because you were born Christian.”
Imagine the international outrage!
Yet ask Moroccans whether their country has religious freedom, and many will proudly say YES!
Here’s the catch: That freedom is largely reserved for foreigners.
A foreigner can be Christian in Morocco. A Moroccan who becomes Christian faces persecution, discrimination, and a lack of legal recognition.
In Morocco, your passport determines how much religious freedom you enjoy.
Apparently, freedom of religion means freedom to remain in the religion you were born into.

Every @DemSocialists candidate and elected official should be asked whether they support the push to abolish the nuclear family that is being promoted in the DSA’s official publication.
New in DemLeft: DSA’s Workers Deserve More calls for women’s, queer, and Indigenous liberation — but none of that is possible if the organization continues to treat the nuclear family as a given rather than a structure built to preserve capitalism.

“What’s causing it is unclear.”
No, it’s crystal clear what has happened: the artificial fad that was foisted on the public by woke Marxists isn’t perceived as cool anymore.
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis.
“It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.” wapo.st/4dtMSyQ

Secular culture mocks Christian morality. Monogamy is viewed as prudish. Abstinence is for losers. Sobriety is boring. Meanwhile, the children of secular culture are having threesomes in college and snorting ketamine off each other's genitals. Now they're debating about whether one can consent to a threesome, but not an orgy, depending on when the drugs kicked in. This is the consequence of immorality; chaos, trauma, and degradation.

But it couldn’t be social contagion, folks. It’s just that young people, especially autistic, gay and mentally ill ones, are finally free to be their authentic selves.
The sudden explosion of young women who want to cut off their healthy breasts and take testosterone? Well, it’s absolutely not the newest form of self-harm, to which troubled adolescent girls are provably prone, ok? It’s not a consequence of the commonplace fear of becoming an adult woman, with all that that entails. No, there’s nothing to worry about there.
The possibility of regret? Naturally, we don’t let minors get tattoos or own guns or vote, because that would be ridiculous, but if they want irreversible surgeries and drug treatments, they must be given them, and everyone around them must immediately agree they are now the opposite sex. That’s called being kind.
And the mounting numbers of detransitioners? They were never trans, obviously, and should be mercilessly attacked, especially if they now say they were vulnerable and in a friendship group, online or off, dominated by trans identities, where transitioning was presented as a way to resolve all their social and emotional difficulties. (I have the emails).
No, there’s nothing whatsoever to see here. Keep justifying it, keep cheering it on, keep insisting that the doctors and drug companies making serious money out of it all are acting with the purest of motives. Answer every reasonable question with an accusation of hatred and bigotry. Dispel every qualm of conscience with an activist-approved talking point. Reassure yourself that everyone on your dinner party circuit agrees with you.
And when, in years to come, we’re all looking back on graphs like this, be proud that you did your bit to monster whistleblowers, parrot unevidenced claims and create the climate of fear that allowed the worst medical scandal in a century to take place.
This data never ceases to "amaze" me. In 2005, very few people received any transition related genital surgery (120 over the whole of 🇩🇪), in 2025 it was 4,184.
And the shift in the age distribution is staggering: Surgeries on 18-25 year olds were almost non-existent in the noughties, now they dominate every other age group by a large factor.

🇮🇳 REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR.
An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit.
Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back.
Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary:
They stormed the cockpit.
They restrained the attacker.
Other pilots took control.
And that plane LANDED.
Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong.
Captain Smit Machchhar — India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. 🇮🇳
And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it:
Heroes. Every single one of you.
This is what courage looks like.

Every glib, arrogant, virtue-signalling celebrity who’s broadcast the lie that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition deserves to have this read aloud to them non-stop through a megaphone for a year.
A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

Lust Will Pick a Lock
As a young pastor, I attended a conference where a counselor who had worked with hundreds of fallen pastors said something I'll never forget:
"Lust will pick a lock."
He explained that every pastor he'd counseled who had fallen into sexual sin had safeguards in place.
Boundaries are important. Accountability matters. Wisdom is essential.
But rules alone are not enough.
The Apostle Paul warned that a list of "do not" rules may look wise, but they "lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence" (Colossians 2:23).
External safeguards can help, but they can never replace an internal dependence on Christ.
The real battle is won when our hearts and minds are fixed on Jesus. Colossians 3:1-2 says, "Set your hearts on things above... Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
Lust may pick a lock, but it cannot overcome a believer who is learning to walk moment by moment in dependence on the power of the resurrected Christ.
Keep your safeguards.
Strengthen your accountability.
Don’t put yourself in a position to sin.
But don't put your trust in any of those things.
Put your trust in Jesus.
Only He is strong enough to give us victory over temptation.

When the Pharisees asked Jesus about divorce, He didn't just answer their question. He went back to creation and defined what marriage is.
By quoting both Genesis 1:27 ("male and female") and Genesis 2:24 ("the two shall become one flesh"), Jesus showed that sexual differentiation isn't incidental to marriage, it's foundational to it.

NEW: My latest op-ed explains how many of us are beyond tired of talking about "trans," it's impossible because it destroys everything it touches. Fundamentally, it's totalitarianism.

Just took my first Waymo ride in Los Angeles.
Hopefully, my last Waymo too.
Cabin reeked of pot. The drive was as jerky as a bad carnival ride.
I exited nauseated, clothes reeking of pot.
Sorry, @Waymo, the emperor has no clothes.
