“There are Only Two Sexes”

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Transgender ideology has wreaked havoc across America.

Biological men, claiming to be women, have insisted on infiltrating women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and sports.

Because of the radical policies allowing this infiltration, women’s privacy was revoked, championships were lost, and opportunities were ripped away.

However, consequences of this ideology have been even more severe than this. The infiltration of men into women’s spaces has led to egregious violent acts.

In January of 2024, NBC New York reported on an incident where a biological male, claiming to be a woman, sexually violated a female prisoner on Riker’s Island.… Continue Reading

Time For ‘Never Trumpers’ to Admit They Were Wrong About Donald Trump

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In 2016, I was adamantly opposed to President Trump. When he spoke at events I attended, I did not applaud. When others stood in line to take pictures with him, I refused to do the same. I was indignant, self-righteous and smug when I was with peers who supported him.

When a small cadre of Catholic and evangelical “thought leaders” and I were invited to meet with him to present our concerns, I was curt and blunt.… Continue Reading

After four of the most predictably bizarre years in the history of the American republic, [we mark] the end of the Joe Biden interlude. I use that term only because I think it’s fair to say that despite all the rhetoric and pretense, all the bombast of a “return to normalcy” that surrounded his campaign and election, the presidency itself was aimless and directionless, amounting to little more than an often-humiliating display of vengeful incompetence.… Continue Reading
