Michelle Obama claims that women are discouraged from acting with confidence and that real freedom begins when we’re no longer bound by family. But is self-focus true liberation—or a fast track to despair?

In recognition of the holiday, I decided to release a video about what we ought to cheer and cherish here in the United States, by looking at the state of modern culture in Britain. Happy Independence Day! Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/K5eVuqrJK-8

It is a strange feature of our times that when a priest fulfills his sacred duty, it becomes news. Such is the case with Fr. Ian Vane, who rightly refused Holy Communion to British MP Chris Coghlan after Coghlan’s public support for assisted suicide.

They’re asking if your newborn is homosexual or GenderQueer. No, really. A New Jersey hospital gives parents a sexuality-and-gender questionnaire moments after birth. This isn’t about medicine. It’s about remaking humanity.

America is engulfed in protests once again, under the auspices of moral indignation and compassion. Yet not far below the surface, we can see a driving revolutionary ideology that is propelled by an unholy union of resentment and covetousness.

The USNS Harvey Milk is finally being renamed. Why was a Navy ship ever named after a man who preyed on teen boys? What we glorify reveals what we believe. A moral nation cannot celebrate perversion and expect to endure.

Priests in Charlotte are being forced to flatten the liturgy and betray their vocation. This isn’t about unity—it’s about control. A reflection on the harm being done under the guise of reform.

Behind South Africa’s farm murders lies a story the media won’t tell—of racial vengeance, ideological blindness, and the collapse of moral order. The violence against South African farmers isn’t a myth—it’s a crisis the media refuses to name. Denial has a cost, and it’s being paid in blood.

Imagine defending yourself from a rapist, and then being charged for that defense and imprisoned for 17 years. That is the reality of Martyna Ogonowska, sentenced under Britain’s unjust legal system, which hinges upon a broken system of morality.

Pornography has rewired a generation. Choking is now considered “just part of sex.” ER visits are up. Dead bodies are being excused with “She consented.” This isn’t liberation—it’s desecration. What we call love is increasingly indistinguishable from violence.

I wanted to provide a health update, in light of all of the well-wishes and inquiries that I have received. I had the gallbladder surgery, which was successful. I now have four small wounds in my abdomen, which are healing nicely…

As Catholics and commentators alike dissect Pope Leo XIV’s past, we’re reminded that the papacy is not a political office—and treating it like one blinds us to its spiritual reality.

I have been told that I need to have surgery, and that I may not safely delay. I have lost the ability to eat most foods, because my gallbladder needs to be removed. Surgery is scheduled for May 6th, and I would appreciate your prayers for its success and a rapid recovery.

With Pope Francis’ passing, many rush to praise. Let’s have a more honest reckoning—acknowledging ambiguity, failures, and the need for mercy.

In a world that trivializes evil and buries grief, we must confront both the brokenness within and the ruin around us. Easter is a reckoning.

As the West unravels, hope endures—not in online echo chambers, but in rooms where people still care about truth, beauty, and rebuilding what was lost. This is how we fight the collapse.

Ahead of a speaking event in Chicago, a candid reflection on the necessity of real-world community, the failures of DEI, and the delusions of disarmament in violent cities. Some things still need to be said face-to-face.

Modern society cultivates despair by depriving people of meaning, heroes, and true human connection. In a world that denies the soul and offers no redemption, isolation and hopelessness thrive. But we were made for more.

Here we go again, with another fake noose. This time, the offender (LaTarsha Brown) was a city employee and member of the school board. She was expecting sympathy, attention, and solidarity, but the city took the complaint seriously and did an investigation.

The conviction of a Pride co-founder for child rape is not an anomaly but a symptom of a society that refuses to acknowledge uncomfortable truths. It is a dangerous consequence of ideological blindness, of which our children bear the cost.

ActBlue pours billions into shaping elections, but is ‘democracy’ just a weaponized illusion? When votes are bought and culture is engineered, the moral high ground crumbles. The Left claims to defend democracy—yet bends it to its will. Is this the real scandal?

What DOGE has revealed about the nation’s expenditures is fascinating, because it shows that it is not simply the case that the government has been wasteful. What we are seeing is the selective and precise export of the worst of our culture.

I converted to the Catholic Faith almost 3 years ago, but never before have I talked through what that process looked like, and why I was moved to convert. Here is that story. Watch on YT instead: https://youtu.be/ig7yg3eYdr8

Andrew Tate presents himself as a model of masculinity, but his values are fundamentally at odds with the moral foundations of the West. His worldview undermines the very civilization he claims to defend.

Washington State is engaging in a two-pronged attack against children, both planning to put felons in school systems as volunteers, and creating a “grace period” before notifying their parents of sexual abuse. It’s a disordered prioritization that places the guilty above the innocent.
