Republicans Brace for the Next Wave of Big Beautiful Debates
Republicans Brace for the Next Wave of Big Beautiful Debates
by Suzanne Bowdey
When Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) hauled the "one, big, beautiful bill" over its first mountain - House passage - he had one request. To the GOP senators, he said, "I encourage them to modify the package that we're sending over there as little as possible." Thinking back over the warring factions in his chamber, he added, "Because we have to maintain that balance, and it's a very delicate thing."

California Makes Partial Retreat on Males in Girls' Sports
by Dan Hart
In an unprecedented backtrack from gender ideology in the Democrat-controlled state of California, a high school sports governing body has revised the rules governing biological males competing against girls in an upcoming track and field event.

Seattle Pro-Family Rally Highlights Clash of Worldviews, Witness
by Joshua Arnold
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell (D) apparently had a miserable Memorial Day weekend.

Then, after a bureaucratic bungle by his own government, the police department had to arrest nearly two dozen counter-"protestors" who did more than protest - what an embarrassment!

Anti-Semitism Soared in 2024, with Almost 70% of Incidents Linked to Left-Wing Extremism
by Sarah Holliday
There were 6,326 documented acts of anti-Semitism in 2024. Roughly 4,327 of them - 68.4% - were linked to far-left ideologies.

Addressing Infertility Upstream of the IVF Dilemma
by Chuck Donovan
In early April, in one of its cost-cutting moves, the Trump administration dismissed six public health personnel who constituted the Center for Disease Control's Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Surveillance team. The timing of the dismissal sparked commentary as it happened at the midpoint of a much-publicized review of federal funding for in vitro fertilization (IVF), the ART team's primary mission. Today, with the Trump IVF review now several days overdue, the weakness of data on key issues surrounding reproductive matters.

Totalitarian Social Engineering (Part 3): Family and Marriage
Totalitarian Social Engineering (Part 3): Family and Marriage
by Yoe Suarez
The Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) demanded parents be active in indoctrination. Homes belonged to the State; whatever was discussed at the dinner table, at the weekend dinner, had to contribute to the goals of socialism. "Adults who act by omission also indirectly reinforce the consolidation of negative behaviors that, when repeated and aggravated over time, can lead some children and adolescents to commit crimes." Imagine if your child ended up a counterrevolutionary! Or worse: a conservative!
