When I was a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in D.C., we took our summer associates to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. A survivor spoke to us and said something that stuck with me: Lawyers need to know the holocaust did not begin with camps. It began when Jews were removed from institutions - above all, legal institutions. Judges stripped of their robes. Lawyers disbarred. Then, when law-groups were Judenrein, they codified laws that made discrimination systematic and "legal." First, you remove the Jews from the institutions. Then, Jews can be discriminated against without representation. On Monday, Mayor Mamdani announced his 18-member Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. The Committee was promised to be "truly reflective of New York City." Not one of the 18 is Jewish. Not one Jewish attorney, former judge, or law professor - in a city where one in eight residents is Jewish and even Justice John Leventhal, recommended by the State's Chief Judge, was rejected. It is estimated that over 50% of the New York bar is Jewish. That means there is a 0.0004% chance of no Jews being selected to the Committee. Mamdani’s marginalization of Jews has been ongoing, and few voices on the Left have spoken up. On Day 1, Mamdani revoked the IHRA antisemitism definition (top priority); he changed the NYPD guidance protecting houses of worship, eliminated Jews from the City's immigrant-heritage map, called for the arrest of the prime minister of the only Jewish state, and now created a Judenrein Judiciary Committee. My grandmother, Leah, survived Nazi Germany. Before the laws, before the violence, she told me how she was pushed out of her high school groups. Then, once excluded from all activities, she was bullied and marginalized. We are already seeing Step 2 in NYC. Two weeks ago, on a Jewish Holiday, two men were stabbed outside Upper West Side synagogues - one wearing a kippah- and yesterday, Jewish students were attacked. Every 26 hours, there is a hate crime against Jews in NYC. In NYC, there is a concerted effort to disappear Jews from public life and leadership. No one on the Left is speaking out. If this discrimination was happening to any other group, the chorus would be deafening. To be clear, Jews will find a way. Many are already taking their talents elsewhere. When white-shoe firms shut Jewish lawyers out, they built firms that now dominate. Cardozo, Louis Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all found a way despite discrimination. But NYC will be worse off without us. A city government that is judenrein - cleansed of Jews – does not just hurt the Jews, but hurts the city. The tragedy is not just that Jews were left out of the institutions. It is that the institutions were left without the Jews. If you see this and have not yet spoken out, I encourage you to do so.

🚨 JUST IN: Pennsylvania Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro DENIED creating a Great American State Fair booth in DC for PA — so Sens. John Fetterman (D) and Dave McCormick (R) did it themselves Now Pennsylvania has a booth and it's LIVELY! Shame on Josh Shapiro! MCCORMICK: "It said PA wouldn't participate, the governor didn't want to use tax dollars and couldn't find ANY businesses to support it." "So I called Sen. Fetterman and said, 'this can't stand.' Pennsylvania, the history of America runs right through Pennsylvania!" "So Fetterman jumped on board and said, yes, we're gonna do this! And businesses came out of the woodwork!" "They were absolutely enthusiastic about getting behind this...being a patriot is not a Republican or Democratic thing, despite our differences!" AWESOME! 🇺🇸 📽️ @ZitoSalena

In the wake of the SCOTUS ruling on women's sports, it is more than a little worth noting that the entire narrative (from advocacy orgs, mainstream media and Democrat leaders) was centered on the supposed harm to boys who identify as girls. No one noted it as a major civil rights win for women and girls. Pathetic.

Grateful for the chance to tell “the rest of the story” about the male athlete from the SCOTUS case just now on @CNN. When a male is making threats of sexual assault in the locker room, I’d say that’s a time when sex matters.

Today you will read many sympathetic media stories about B.P.J., the male athlete who challenged WV’s law and lost at SCOTUS. I’m guessing none will mention that B.P.J. defeated 470+ girls 1,400+ times (including a state title) and sexually harassed our client Adaleia (pictured) in the girls’ locker room. Sadly, Adaleia stopped playing the school sports she loved due to B.P.J.’s ongoing presence in girls’ sports and spaces. But we’ll probably be lucky if those girls get even a passing mention—let alone a front-page photo. This has been the pattern on this issue from far too many institutions of power. Boys’ feelings are the focus. Girls’ safety, fairness, and opportunity take a back seat.
 I’m so thankful today that the Supreme Court reversed that pattern, acknowledged the reality of biological sex, and remembered the girls.

Since 2000, Pennsylvania public schools have lost 176,000 students. But added almost 30,000 staff. That's why property taxes are rising.

He took a rainbow stitched onto a San Francisco Giants cap and placed beside it the first Word God ever spoke over that sign. Genesis 9:11-16. That was enough for the league to warn them to not write a Bible verse on the pride hat again. A covenant became an offense. MLB could point to the uniform rule and maybe the rule was clear enough. Still, everyone knew the ink was not the real scandal. The scandal was Genesis. A verse from the first book of the Bible appeared beside a rainbow and suddenly the old story came walking into the modern room. God had spoken first..that was the wound. Before it was claimed by a movement, it was placed there by mercy. Landen Roupp said there was no hate in it. He said the rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant and as a believer he wanted to stand firm. Good! There are times when standing firm looks less like shouting from a platform and more like refusing to vanish under a hat. Writing the verse in ink was small a small thing. The witness was not. I admire him. He could have worn the cap and said nothing, carried his convictions quietly back to the clubhouse. Instead, he wrote Genesis 9 beside the rainbow. It was not a spectacle. It was a confession. To understand why, we have to leave the ballpark and walk back into the soaked world of Genesis 9. God speaks as the world was still wet with judgment when God blessed Noah. He gave Noah’s family the earth. He sent them out to fill it and placed a holy fence around human life and said, in effect, “Do not treat people like animals. They bear My image.” Every person carries that mark. The baby in the womb and the old man in the nursing home. The angry critic online and the confused soul wrapped in a flag. Every one of them lives beneath the hand of the God who made them. Christian courage can never be cruel because every person bears God’s image. Mercy still hangs over this world and sinners still have time to come home. Then God lifted His sign into the clouds.“ I have set my bow in the cloud,” He says, “and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth” (Genesis 9:13). The word is bow. That is easy to miss because we have turned the rainbow into greeting-card weather with soft colors after rain. Scripture’s bow is often a weapon. It belongs in the hand of a warrior. Scripture’s bow is often a weapon, bent with judgment, strung with arrows, aimed by wrath. In Genesis 9, God hangs the bow in the clouds with no arrow in it. Look at that again. The bow is there, but the string is quiet. The storm has spent itself. Sunlight breaks through the wet air. Color bends across the sky and creation receives a sermon without a single human word. God remembers. He keeps His promise. The world deserves judgment, yet mercy still hangs over our heads. The rainbow is a sermon. Long before flags, merchandise, corporate campaigns, political speeches, or team uniforms, God placed the rainbow above a guilty world and made it preach patience. That is why Genesis 9 belongs in this conversation. Christians do not need cruelty to speak clearly. Sneering never strengthens truth. When believers say the rainbow belongs to God, we are saying more than “our symbol came first.” We are saying the world is still being held together by the promise of a holy God who gives sinners time to repent. The rainbow is beautiful because mercy is beautiful. It also warns because mercy delayed carries a clock inside it. Peter tells us the Lord is patient and calls sinners to repentance. The same God who set His bow in the clouds has appointed a day when every mouth will close and every knee will bow. That makes the cross shine brighter. At Calvary, judgment did not stay in the distance. It landed as the arrow we deserved struck the Son of God. Christ stood beneath the wrath sinners earned and mercy flowed from His wounds. Genesis 9 gives us the empty bow in the clouds. Golgotha gives us the Savior on the tree. So yes, be thankful for these players. Be thankful for men who can stand beneath public pressure and say, with open eyes and a steady voice, “I belong to Christ.” Christians should learn from that. Stand firm when the culture demands your silence. Hold your ground when conviction is called hatred. Do it with tenderness, clean hands, tears for the lost, love for your neighbor and your Bible open. A rainbow appeared on a baseball cap and a few men remembered the God who set it in the sky. That is enough reason to be grateful. The rainbow is still preaching and let the church stand firm under it.

“The UN just walked back its climate doomsday models – after BILLIONS were wasted. ‘Every apocalypse is a business model.’ They used fear to grab your cash, your gas stove, your truck, your burger.” Watch this epic takedown of the climate cult from @greggutfeld. “The UN is backing off after calling you a climate denier, as if questioning the faulty models is like denying the Holocaust. But no big apology, no refund check, no "our bad." Because in the end, they got what they wanted. The motive wasn't the environment, it was greed. The instrument was fear. Once panic becomes an industry, there's no incentive to calm people down. That's why every Dem crisis now comes with a consultant, a nonprofit, a celebrity telethon, and a 900-page spending bill. Every apocalypse is a business model. And for the climate change scammers, no business had been hotter than the end of the world.”

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

He accomplished two important things with this line of questioning: 1) He exposed abortion for what it really is, stripping away the euphemisms that hide its barbarity, and 2) he revealed that abortion's proponents are too embarrassed and uncomfortable to have the conversation without the euphemisms because it makes them look monstrous. In other words, they care more about how they're perceived than anything else, including the wellbeing of innocent, defenseless babies. So they are, in fact, monstrous — and terrible at hiding it. Very well done.
Today I asked an abortion advocate what her favorite method of abortion is.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

In 2016 Norway gave every 5-year-old child an iPad. Within a few years, Norway's reading scores plummeted and dropped below the OECD average. They ranked dead last out of 65 countries. Now Norway is spending millions of dollars to reverse this trend and get people reading.

It's not just conservative families. It's conservative religious families: Guenter Lewy is the author of Why America Needs Religion. "Interestingly, Lewy started out to write a book on the opposite theme—why America does not need religion. Many political conservatives have argued that religion is foundational to morality and social stability, and Lewy intended to prove them wrong. His book would be, in his own words, “a defense of secular humanism and ethical relativism.” But as he examined the evidence, Lewy turned around 180 degrees. He ended up writing a book arguing that religion, particularly Christianity, correlates with lower rates of social pathologies such as crime, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, and family breakdown. Or, to put it positively, Christianity motivates attitudes that signal social health, such as responsibility, moral integrity, compassion, and altruism. “Contrary to the expectations of the Enlightenment,” Lewy concludes, “freeing individuals from the shackles of traditional religion does not result in their moral uplift.” To the contrary, the evidence now shows clearly that “no society has yet been successful in teaching morality without religion.” Today the facts are in: Science itself confirms that biblical principles work in the real world—which is strong evidence that they are true. The Bible describes the way we were created to function, and when we follow its prescriptions, we are happier and healthier. The best explanation of the positive data is that our lives are lining up with the objective structure of reality." --from Total Truth
“Boys from liberal families now show higher anxiety than girls from conservative families.” That surprising reversal — even though girls generally report more anxiety — comes from Abigail Shrier on Joe Rogan. The gap isn’t just biology. It’s shaped by environment. Conservative families more often practice authoritative parenting: warm, deeply involved parents who set clear rules and guardrails without being cold or authoritarian. They don’t hand every decision to the child or outsource authority to experts. Decades of replicated studies, dating back to Diana Baumrind’s work in the 1960s, show these kids consistently end up happier, more resilient, and mentally healthier. They feel the people who love them most are calmly in charge. Kids intuitively know they’re not ready to steer their own lives. When parents pull back too much, anxiety rushes into the open-ended void. Structure isn’t restriction — it’s the quiet safety net that actually frees them to grow without constant overwhelm. With youth mental health resources at record levels yet outcomes still declining, this pattern quietly challenges how we’ve been approaching parenting and childhood. What’s your real-world experience: does loving parental structure with clear guardrails feel more like freedom… or something else?

This 5-year-old boy showed up to heart surgery alone—no parent, no guardian. He was in social services. But the anesthesiologist who cared for him chose to adopt him. Today, that little boy has a family, a future, and a life filled with love. Every child deserves a chance. Adoption doesn’t divide love—it multiplies it.
