The Lindsay Clancy case horror: When empathy becomes child sacrifice

The ancient pagan world was full of human sacrifice. The most horrifying instance was child sacrifice. We got an inkling of this in this summer’s smash-hit The Odyssey, with the brief depiction of Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter for favorable winds. One of the most important changes that occurred from the pagan to the monotheistic, Judeo-Christian […]

The Biden administration knew it was creating a child migrant labor crisis and did nothing

Just last month, the New York Times published its blockbuster report into massive numbers of migrant children being coerced into child labor. Now, the Grey Lady reports that multiple people blew the whistle to the White House starting in 2021, but the Biden administration did nothing.

Ron DeSantis’s (almost) impossible task

RON DESANTIS'S (ALMOST) IMPOSSIBLE TASK. What is the hardest job in politics? Without doubt, at this moment, the hardest job in politics is running against Donald Trump in a Republican presidential primary.

How would Trump spend his political capital?

As he did in 2016, Donald Trump is proudly campaigning for his old office by blasting conservative attempts to reform Social Security and Medicare, and on his very active Truth Social account, the former president has only insults to aim at the Republicans who warn about the $32 trillion federal budget, a full quarter of which was accrued under the Trump administration.

It shows a startling lack of disregard for women’s rights and safety.
