Clarence Thomas: Celebrate America 250 By Doing Something To Save The Country

The current court’s longest-serving member delivered a resounding speech at the University of Texas on Wednesday commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government,” Thomas said. “It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

An Indiana school district agreed to pay $195,000 to settle with a school counselor who was fired for speaking to a journalist about the district policy of hiding students “gender identity” from parents. The case involved Kathy McCord, a 37-year education veteran who objected to the school’s mandate “which required her to speak in ways that violate her sincerely held religious beliefs,” reported Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

On Dignity and Desecration

On Dignity and Desecration

Apr 17, 2026 | ,

Modern Western culture excels in grand but shallow pieties. The menu is rich: “love is love,” whatever that means; “science is real,” but religion is, implicitly, not; “no human is illegal,” unless you’re an unwanted, unborn child; and so on. My favorite is the bumper-sticker wisdom of “war is not the answer.” Well, maybe yes; maybe no. It depends on the question and circumstances. Sometimes war is the morally legitimate choice. The Desecration of Man combines rigorous research with an easy style. In this sense it follows a classic C. S. Lewis recipe: serious scholarship, delivered in an appealing way, for a broad general audience. And his subject matter—the impact on our humanity of an intensely materialist culture.

Boys to Men: Ushering Boys into Manhood

Boys to Men: Ushering Boys into Manhood

Apr 17, 2026 |

We modern Americans no longer provide for our own bodily needs, having off-loaded practically all of this work to corporations, robots, and professionals.

In Defense of Cultural Christianity

Rather than lament the death of cultural Christianity, Moore argues, we should celebrate it as a boon for evangelism. He claims: “It is easier to speak a gospel to the lost than it is to speak a gospel to the kind-of-saved.” Those who keep Judgment Day in view will find that “cultural Christianity is worse than no Christianity at all.” In an essay occasioned by the cultural “conversions” of former New Atheists, Moore echoes Kierkegaard: Appreciation for the civilizational benefits of Christianity ­co-opts the faith and hollows it out.

Can Sharing a Last Name Save Your Marriage? It Depends

Can Sharing a Last Name Save Your Marriage? It Depends

Apr 17, 2026 |

Should a woman take her husband’s last name when she gets married? It’s a hotly contested question today, including this week where it’s been a particular topic of conversation on X. The Pew Research Center suggests that 79% of women take their husband’s last name. Yet while the debate over married names vs. maiden names still rages, online at least, it is rarely informed by actual data. Are couples in which the woman keeps her maiden name or chooses to hyphenate her last name systematically different from couples who share the husband’s surname?
