From the article -- Imagine an entire generation, then erase nearly a third of it. That’s not a half-hearted thought experiment. It’s a national crime scene, neatly packaged as progress.
Recent demographic reports reveal a devastating reality. Nearly 28 percent of Gen Z in America were denied the simple mercy of daylight. Between 1997 and 2011, 19.5 million lives were ended before they began. For every classroom, every cradle, every dinner table, an empty space mourns what never was.
The global context is equally grim. Nearly one in three pregnancies worldwide ends in abortion. In England and Wales, the rate has reached an all-time high. What was once framed as a “rare and tragic choice” has become routine — a conveyor belt of convenience turning human potential into medical waste. What looks like liberation is, in reality, liquidation.
Our culture — decadent and desensitized — plays a central role. Celebrities now speak of abortion not with grief but with pride, turning tragedy into trend. British pop star Lily Allen — one of the defining names of the 2010s — recently confessed she’d had so many abortions she’d lost count. She said it casually, almost proudly, as though ending life were an act of empowerment. Once, that kind of confession would have shocked a nation. Today, it barely raises an eyebrow. A nation that won’t create life is already courting death.
2) “The Tales We Tell Our Children: How Children’s Literature Shapes a Civilization’s Soul” (Jamie K. Wilson, PJ Media)
From the article -- A young girl stands on a mountain of ice, her dress glittering like the northern lights. The world below has judged her, feared her, told her to hide what makes her different. Then comes the moment every parent remembers: she spreads her arms and sings, “No right, no wrong, no rules for me — I’m free.”
For a decade now, that line from Frozen has echoed in bedrooms and playgrounds, in sequined Elsa dresses and YouTube sing-alongs. It’s more than a song; it’s a creed. Every generation has a fairy tale that defines its moral world. For ours, it’s this one, a story in which isolation becomes empowerment, repression becomes villainy, and liberation means casting off every bond of duty or expectation.
There’s a reason the movie Frozen's iconic song ‘Let It Go’ hit like lightning. It gave girls permission to feel powerful, not weak. After centuries of tales where heroines obeyed, endured, or were saved, Elsa burst from the mold and claimed her own sovereignty. It felt fresh, defiant, modern. And yet, under the shimmer, the story carried a quiet inversion. Where older fairy tales taught that freedom comes through virtue, through courage, mercy, and love, Elsa’s anthem taught that freedom comes from rejecting virtue itself.
The transformation was moral, not musical. A generation earlier, Disney heroines longed to belong. Ariel gave up her voice for love, Belle sacrificed comfort for her father, Cinderella kept faith through humiliation. Elsa breaks the cycle by renouncing belonging. “Conceal, don’t feel” becomes “Feel, don’t kneel.” The dragon has been slain, but so has the idea of obedience.
For the little girls who sang it, this was thrilling. For the culture that raised them, it was revealing. The fairy tale had flipped: no longer a guide for how to master the self, but a hymn to self-sovereignty. And in that shift, an entire moral inheritance melted away.
3) “Maybe Totally Legalizing Vice Was Not Such a Great Idea After All” (Kurt Schlichter, Town Hall)
From the article -- Of course, vice invites corruption, and it’s now publicly infecting sports themselves (it has no doubt infected them for a while, with point shaving, thrown games, and the like). It is also resurrecting the mob – I guess when the FBI was busy hassling moms for being mad about sex offenders in their kids’ locker rooms, the Mafia took advantage of the opportunity. The recent busts will be just the tip of the iceberg. Mark my words and move over, Black Sox – this will be a disaster for professional sports.
Then there’s the vice of dope smoking. We stamped out regular smoking pretty effectively; I freak young people out with tales of the smoking section and theaters where you couldn’t see the screen through the haze of burning tobacco. But somehow pot is different. You walk down any urban street and it’s like a Cypress Hill concert; you’re lucky if you don’t wander off the sidewalk and into traffic from the contact high. Even in the most conservative states, you will find dispensaries passing out supercharged ganja with 10 times the THC of the old skunk weed that stoner guy in your dorm used to fire up. Medicinal my tush; the only things it’s treating are boredom and ambition. Really, the smart play would have been legalizing cocaine, since people would at least be motivated to do something useful, like clean up their condo, sell junk bonds, or greenlight “Caddyshack.” Just what America needed – a drug designed to make our citizens lazier, dumber, and less interesting.
Of course, the urge to effectively legalize things that we suppressed for eons of human history because we’re so much smarter than those ancients doesn’t stop at dice n’ dope. No, they have done it for prostitution, too. Oh, wait – that’s a judgmental word. I mean “sex work,” which we should totally pretend to respect lest we shame the people involved in it. Of course, shame is just what’s needed. You should be ashamed of serious gambling. You should be ashamed of serious dope smoking. And you should be ashamed of selling yourself or others for sex. Sorry/not sorry to get all John Lithgow in the original “Footloose” on you, but just because people want to do bad, harmful things to excess does not mean we should make it easy for them. The wrecked lives of the guys condemned by the Draft Kings testify to that. The dead people killed in DUIs, where the “I” came from cannabis, testify to that. And the women forced to march along dirty urban streets selling themselves to skeevy creeps with the cops forbidden from intervening, as is true in California, testify to that.
4) “The Red-Green Axis, Antisemitism, And Bible Prophecy” (Olivier Melnick, Harbinger's Daily)
From the article -- For a while now, Israel and the Jewish people have been caught in a vise that is increasingly threatening their very existence. That vise is known as the red/green axis. Red being the ever-growing Marxist radical left (Communism on steroids), and Green being radical Islam (Sharia Law). Zohran Mamdani embodies the Red/Green axis all in one person. How such a person can exist, combining two opposite sides of an ideological spectrum, remains a mystery to me. It is highly irrational.
This has all the signs of America being destroyed from within! There is a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln that says, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from within.” While those were not the exact words he uttered, the quote can be thematically connected to Lincoln’s 1838 speech in Springfield Illinois, at the Young Men Lyceum, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” The point is clear, America’s demise will most likely come from within, and Zohran Mamdani might be the first major step toward that!
Yet, there is a greater danger coming from Mamdani’s policies, and that is his utter disdain for Israel and the Jewish people. How 20-30% of New York Jews would vote for him in the primaries is so irrational. It is evident that Israel and Jewish customs and traditions are playing a very small role, if any, in the fabric of modern American Jewry. They have been slowly replaced by social justice, multiculturalism, and tolerance. The erosion of Jewish loyalty has created a vacuum that people like Mamdani will fill in a heartbeat.

5) “It’s Impossible To Keep Up With The Fall Of Britain” (John Daniel Davidson, Federalist)
From the article -- This kind of official response belies either astounding incompetence or barely-disguised malice. You would think that confronted with thousands of migrants illegally entering Britain from France every week, the government would rightly conclude that France is allowing migrants to cross the English Channel illegally en masse. You would think there would be repercussions for that. But instead, the British people get farcical statements from their political leaders about how the “one in one out” policy is working, even as the boats stream across the Channel.
Meanwhile, the consequences of unchecked migration and non-assimilation are playing out on the streets of increasingly dangerous British cities. Most of the migrants arriving in Britain are from places like Eritrea, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Somalian — societies that have very different views of civic life and of civilization itself. Most of them are Muslim, and upon their arrival they are absorbed into one of Britain’s many growing unassimilated Muslim communities — in Birmingham, Bedford, and parts of London like Tower Hamlets. These are places that only bear a faint resemblance to what they were 20 years ago thanks to mass immigration.
It has become impossible not to notice the change. Last month in Birmingham (a city that’s now a third Muslim), local authorities announced that fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv would not be allowed to attend the teams’ Europa League match against Aston Villa. The official reason given was that police could not guarantee the safety of the Tel Aviv fans. That was true enough, but the full reason, as everyone knew, is that the city’s Muslim population is both antisemitic and violent, and if Jewish Tel Aviv fans showed up in numbers, they would be attacked by a Muslim mob. (As it happened, a few Jewish fans did show up to protest, and police herded them into a nearby steel-ringed basketball court that protesters referred to as a “Jew cage,” even as Muslim fans roamed around chanting, “death to the IDF,” “Allahu Akbar,” and “from the river to the sea.”)
On top of non-assimilation, there is the issue of migrant crime, which is often directed at white British women. Last month, a 19-year-old asylum-seeker from Sudan named Deng Chol Majek was convicted of murdering 27-year-old Rhiannon Skye Whyte, who worked at the migrant hotel where Majek lived. Majek followed Whyte from the hotel to a bus station, where he stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver, 19 times in the head. Afterwards he went to buy beer and was later seen dancing with other asylum-seekers in the hotel parking lot.
