American Thinker: A new version of ‘twenty questions’ for a world gone mad
How did chopping off body parts become "gender care," and killing babies become "women's health care"? Why do we condemn merit and celebrate victimhood, when the former is the foundation of success and progress? How can we criminalize cigarettes while subsidizing marijuana, and expect people to show ID to buy cigarettes but not to vote? These are just a few of the many perplexing questions that plague our society today, as our priorities and values seem to have been turned upside down. Perhaps the biggest question of all is how we can allow our liberties and freedoms to be taken away by a ruling class that doesn't seem to believe in them.
Newsbusters: PBS, NPR Act Like Democrat Team Members in Live Coverage AND Bias By Omission
PBS and NPR provided live coverage of House Democrats' "Select Committee on the January 6 Attack," but when House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released bank records regarding President Biden's family's foreign payments, the networks did not offer any coverage. The PBS NewsHour even conducted an eight-minute interview with House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries but did not ask about the Biden financial scandals.
PBS and NPR have also ignored Republican-led events, such as the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing into the ethics of federal judges but devoted almost nine minutes to another hearing into the ethics of Supreme Court Justice Thomas, implying his alleged financial ethics scandals were a pretext for Democrats to hold hearings. NPR legal reporter Nina Totenberg has taken Democratic partisan actions quite seriously and implied Justice Clarence Thomas as too unethical for the high court.
National Review: Both the Federal and State Abortion Battles Matter
Pro-life advocates should continue fighting for both state and federal protections for the unborn, now that the power to protect them has been returned to the American people. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has allowed states around the country to enact pro-life policies, such as at six weeks when babies have a heartbeat or at 15 weeks when babies can feel pain. However, the federal legislature's role remains critically important, and efforts must be directed towards creating federal policies that protect the inherent dignity of the unborn person.
Pro-abortion leaders in Congress and the Biden administration's agenda to pass the so-called "Women's Health Protection Act" would allow painful abortions up to delivery nationwide, effectively nullifying virtually every state pro-life law on the books. In addition, the Hyde amendment, which saves lives and is arguably the most impactful pro-life policy, requires defending and preserving. March for Life advocates for federal minimum protections for unborn children even in states that fail to protect them since it would help enable the US to join most of the civilized world in safeguarding these unique and irreplaceable human lives.

National Review: The Things You Don’t Say to Your Mom
Living with nine people under one roof can be a logistical nightmare, but the Schutte family manages to maintain order through weekly family meetings complete with a Dad Jokes Intro, Schedule Session, and a (hefty-fine-included) Bitter Complaints Section. Despite the chaos, the family is full of individuals with unique talents and interests, and they credit their mother with instilling in them a drive to do hard things and find wonder in every moment.
The Schutte family's mother is a master of Social Graces 101, from teaching her children to leave a place cleaner than they found it to inspiring them to tackle complicated projects and pursue their passions. She instills in them a Christ-like selflessness and a desire to cultivate beauty in every moment while putting God first in all she does. Her dedication to her family is boundless, and her children are grateful for all the late nights, thoughtful gifts, and daily prayers she has given them.
American Thinker: Trans tyranny in Chicago
Protestors are trying to force a resale/antique store called Boho Barbie out of their neighborhood in Rogers Park, Chicago because of the owner’s fiancée’s social media posts which include satirical memes about transgender-related issues, COVID-19 vaccinations, seed oils, and birth control. The protest organizer, Karen Rose, aims to make sure all new businesses moving to Rogers Park are “safe” for queer members of the community. However, their definition of safety includes ideological purity and conformity, disregarding diverse opinions and perspectives.
The protest has already become violent, with one protestor spitting on the store owner during a tense back-and-forth chanting. While protestors decry “hurt” that comes from social media posts they never saw until Karen Rose publicized them, they show no issue with actual assault. This intolerant behavior shows the tyrannical and self-obsessed nature of these bullies.

National Review: The Corner: Environmental Regulations and Wind Turbines Are Backing New England Fishermen into a Corner
Jerry Leeman, once a commercial fishing captain in New England, is now fighting Biden administration policies that threaten the fishing industry. As executive director of the newly-formed New England Fishermen Stewardship Association, Leeman is leading the charge against overregulation and wind-turbine development in the Gulf of Maine. Leeman and fellow New England fishermen have concerns about the accuracy of NOAA data and the impacts that wind turbines will have on fish populations.
According to Leeman, the overregulation and wind-turbine development constitute an attempt to diminish an industry that is deeply rooted in the American way of life. If the fishing industry were to be wiped out, it would lead to higher prices for the American consumer, who wants affordable products. The fishing industry could feed the nation for generations to come.

Foreign Policy: For Russians, Reading Is the New Resistance
Russians are turning to books as a means of coping with the country's increasingly militaristic and totalitarian turn, with sales of fiction, especially spy stories, soaring. Notably, the bestseller on Russian online marketplace Ozon in the early stages of the war was the Russian translation of Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning," a book that offers ways to find strength and resilience amid adversity and oppression. However, non-fiction works about Nazi Germany are also popular, such as Sebastian Haffner's "Defying Hitler: A Memoir," Nicholas Stargardt's "The German War: A Nation Under Arms," and Karl Jaspers' "The Question of German Guilt." Some reflective Russians are now contemplating collective guilt and responsibility for Russia's actions in Ukraine as well as the widespread atrocities committed by Russian soldiers.
As the war continues and Russia grows increasingly isolated from the West, discussions and debates about topics such as guilt and responsibility will likely become more acute. There is a growing divide in Russian civil society between those who left the country and those who stayed, as some pro-Western liberal Russians question whether they hold guilt or responsibility for what is happening. Ultimately, these books offer some clarity and help readers determine their degree of moral responsibility. Despite the increasing militarism, there is a sense of hope among some Russians that progress can be made by having these discussions.
