I'm going to try to refine this Twitter feed into mostly (1) parenting stuff, plus (2) heartwarming stuff everyone can agree with, peppered with (3) hard-core social conservative stuff grounded in a Christian understanding of mankind, and (4) Mets stuff.

It really seems like the media lives in the upside-down, making it sound like conservatives were the aggressors in these culture-war skirmishes. The day before yesterday nobody would’ve suggested honoring drag nuns or pretending Dylan Mulvaney was a woman.

Senate Democrats have decided they can fundraise off losing a SCOTUS case 9-0. I wonder what the exact strategy is.

I'm unsure as to why it's deemed appropriate to threaten state government officials to provide $450 million in renovations for a private business. But, thanks to the culture cultivated by the spineless morons we keep electing, this is what it's come to.

The reporters expected lots of “throuples” and people who wanted to live the rest of their lives alone, were surprised at how many wanted a family, and were “shocked” that lots of people wanted three or more children? That tells us about the media bubble.

Stores like
@Target
have featured rainbow-themed products every June for years. My favorite pet store has rainbow leashes and jackets for dogs. No one cared. The issue here is *ACTIVISM* The products this year were hostile, aggressive and intentionally provocative. That's why.

As a Christian, I am supposed to pray for the conversion of every soul and to trust in God’s mercy. But when I read about Father Thomas Francis Kelly, I find myself hoping that hell is far hotter than I ever imagined.

Parents are too terrified of too many imaginary threats. Pools is one where they really should be a bit paranoid. Ben’s right.

‘How you help them learn to be present, in a task or with a relationship, is one of the top challenges of our generation. Part of that is going to be saying no.’

I get the feeling that a central theme of “Pride Month” 2024 will be anti-Christian bigotry, and the question is which institutions—corporate, media, academic, and governmental—will, like the Dodgers, go along.

‘The “sisters” are men who dress in lewd imitation of Roman Catholic nuns.’Their motto, “go and sin some more” is one of their less offensive mockeries of Christians, especially of real nuns who quietly do actual lifesaving work. Lord have mercy.

Having kids around makes parents more considerate of kids' needs and wants. A town with lots of kids is more likely to develop a playground or a skate park than is in a town with mostly retirees or single, secular, professional 22-year-olds.

For climate extremists, destroying western civilization to further their radical agenda is essentially killing two birds with one stone. It’s a matter of time before we lose a priceless treasure and the environment will in no way benefit. This is criminal behavior, not protest.

Elected officials suggesting that they will ignore court rulings if they don’t like the outcome is quickly becoming a talking point on the Left. It’s a dangerous threat to the rule of law, and President Biden should denounce these calls from his party.

This suggests that there never was a significant makeup for the Lockdown Baby Bust, just a tiny rebound and then a return to previous decline.

Typical bus shelters often cost $50k or more and require coordination among 8 departments. La Sombrita (in its most expensive, prototype form) costs approximately 15% of the price of a typical bus shelter and can be installed in 30 minutes or less.
