The Culture War Isn’t The Most Important Issue Of 2024, It’s The Only Issue

It’s a war for survival between two competing and irreconcilable visions of what America should be. Any politician on the right that doesn’t understand that, who thinks we just need to show voters our plan for getting the economy back on track, needs to step aside and make room for leaders who know what time it is, that the hour is late, the day now far spent, and the time for fighting has come. The culture war is now the big tent. Those who embrace it, who delve into the fray without apology, will be the next crop of leaders on both the right and the left.

Kissing the Blarney Stone goodbye: Ireland’s “massive attack” on freedom of speech and religion

Freedom is still being hunted around the globe, now by a cancel culture seeking to suppress civil dialogue that would allow truth to appear. The threat is as critical now as it was for the American Founders, for whom freedom of speech and religion was no peripheral matter. “The establishment of civil and religious liberty,” declared General George Washington at the close of the War, “was the motive which induced me to the field.” The cancel culture’s attack on these foundational freedoms is something we all must resist, wherever we live, lest we revert to what Paine described as that “slavery of fear [that] made men afraid to think.”

Mexico City Policy was instituted under President Ronald Reagan and forbids American money from supporting or performing abortions overseas.

The policy was revoked in the first week of the Biden administration…The Heritage report also sheds light on how Democrats are making PEPFAR into the vehicle of “social priorities like abortion and promotion of LGBTI issues.”
