Marriage is by definition a man and a woman geared toward producing children. "Gay marriage," therefore is an oxymoron, like "married bachelor." Advocates for the family lost the debate the moment they concede on the terminology. We similarly undercut our arguments when we concede the terms transgender, pro-choice, and using the pronoun "it" when referring to babies in utero. Control the language of the debate, and you win the debate. Concede the terms, and you've already lost.
We need to stop calling transvestites transgender. You can’t transcend your gender.

Not if we have something to say about it. Provo will not fall.

I'm driving Alpine Loop. My favorite road in the entire world during the best time of year. I'm stuck behind a cyclist going uphill for probably 10-15 minutes. He's going maybe 4mph. It's busy, cars coming both directions. I can't pass. He's in the middle of the road, clearly trying to prevent cars behind him from passing. The line behind me starts getting long. I FINALLY pass him. He glares at me. A few minutes later I am now going downhill. I am behind a couple cars but we are moving at a reasonable pace, no problem. I see the cyclist approaching me from behind as he is catching up now. He then has the AUDACITY to angrily wave at me and the other cars telling us to move to the side so that he can pass. Sorry spandex-boy, ain't happening. So yes, ban cyclists from Alpine Loop. Especially during the busiest time of the day and the busiest time of the year.
Ban cyclists from Alpine Loop.

Imagine using the Dignity Index on parents.
Reason #578 that the Dignity Index isn't helpful. This is from their online game where you can "test" your knowledge of the index. The problem is that Platt was entirely right to call Rachel Zegler out for hijacking the film for politics.

One of the most replicable findings in all of American political statistical analysis is that Republicans give significantly more to charity and volunteer more for the poor than democrats do. It's not even close. It has never been close.
Ms. Rachel blasts Republican Christian hypocrisy: “Let’s be a more Christian nation and take away SNAP benefits. Let’s be a more Christian nation and put our neighbors and put the strangers in detention centers. Let’s make more and more money and not help others and let’s deny people’s healthcare. But the SNAP thing, that just breaks me. You’re gonna complain about a child having enough food?”

Caleb watched Charlie Kirk die in front of him and now endures relentless harassment while Candace makes millions in profit spinning up narratives. @RealCandaceO, stop harassing students.
“He’s an idiot—maybe!” Watch Candace Owens slip up and call a college kid an idiot and then catch herself and then clumsily double down. This woman is a MESS.

1. A good marriage is one of the most powerful predictors of a happy life. So what predicts a good marriage? Faith, for one. ✔️ 78% of churchgoing husbands are very happy in their marriages ✔️ vs. 66% of husbands who don't attend For wives: 74% vs. 63%. New @FamStudies👇🏽
What difference does faith make in American marriages? This is the subject of @FamStudies' new report: ifstudies.org/report-brief/t…

One day, it will be my job to write, make content, give lectures, and otherwise shout from the rooftops all the pro-family propaganda I can get my hands on. And a little American space hegemony propaganda too, probably.

Sexual satisfaction is higher for both churchgoing husbands and wives, compared to their peers who attend infrequently or not at all. Overall, churchgoing Catholics are the most likely of any group to report frequent sex and sexual satisfaction.

Hot take, likely to offend both conservative and progressive LDS… In the whole conversation on modesty, I think some forget that sexual attraction is part of God’s plan and is not evil. Women are supposed to make themselves sexually attractive to men. Men are also supposed to make themselves sexually attractive to women. In attracting women, a man’s physical appearance matters some. But mostly, a man attracts a woman by demonstrating competence… evolutionary psychology suggests this is because women are looking for a partner competent, aggressive and also compassionate enough to take care of her and her infants…. So, a man’s clothes are more a reflection of his status than they are meant to be visually stimulating. In attracting men, a woman’s physical appearance matters a lot more because men are visually aroused… evolutionary psychology suggests this may be because men learned to seek out women who were physically healthy and fertile for child bearing… In other words, these are the things that have kept humanity alive, and they are apart of God’s design. (Please don’t shoot the messenger… evolutionary psychology is not politically correct whatsoever 🤣) Sex is to be kept within marriage. But, no one would get married and have sex if they were not sexually attracted during courtship. So, I’m sorry, but it is not inappropriate for a woman to wear clothes that flatters her physical feminine qualities anymore than it is inappropriate for a man to dress like he has some social status. It is how we attract mates and is part of normal human sociality. But, when does it actually become immodest? That’s hard to say in precise terms because it often depends on the context of the culture and situation. But, I think we all know the difference between class and trash… Between a man who dresses like gentlemen and one who dresses like a pimp. Between a woman who dresses like a lady and one who dresses like a prostitute. One is classy and stops people in their tracks. The other is trashy and cries, “Look at me!” … Or, even worse, “Look at this part of me!”
