“When Karyann Parkinson’s 5-year-old son, Sam, asked if he could walk about a half mile to their neighborhood pond to collect goose feathers, she didn’t have a hard time saying yes. It was June. They’d walked the route before, including that morning. Her son is mature, and their surroundings are part of what the homeowners association describes as a ‘secure, multi-generational gated community.’ The risks were low, and yet Karyann is fast becoming famous for what came next. … Thanks to Karyann’s transgression — trusting her son — she was placed on Virginia’s child abuse and neglect registry for seven years. In court, she was found guilty of ‘contributing to the delinquency of a minor’ — a Class 1 misdemeanor — and given a six-month suspended jail sentence.” (09/11/26)

“Over the last several weeks in the lead up to the 25th anniversary of al Qaeda’s attack on the U.S., I’ve had American and foreign journalists ask me the same question: how did 9/11 change America? My answer has generally been some version of this: 9/11 didn’t change us, we allowed it to change us, and in doing so critically damaged our very own political way of life.” (09/11/26)

“James Talarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, is rushing to escape his on-the-record gender insanity — but it’s clearly just a dodge, part of lefty candidates’ nationwide playbook to claim to embrace ‘normalcy’. Talarico has unambiguously claimed there are six genders and that God is nonbinary; as a state legislator he voted against bills to keep biological boys out of girls’ sports and to end gender-reassignment treatments for minors. Now he tells Fox News those six-gender comments ‘missed the mark’; he insists he supports a trans-athlete ban and a national ban on gender surgeries and hormones for kids. Has he seen the light of reason and started to actually follow the science on the issue? Don’t bet on it.” (09/12/26)

“In early 2025, the world watched as masked federal agents abducted Pro-Palestinian activists across the country based on the premise that they were promoting or supporting terrorism. Having tested various legal boundaries through these cases, the Trump administration became further emboldened later that year, issuing the National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7) in September 2025. The memorandum effectively equated certain political and ideological beliefs with terrorism, and a slew of politically motivated attacks quickly followed. … Although these attacks have in many ways felt unprecedented, they must be seen as a continuation of the War on Terror, in which the security apparatus constructed over the last 25 years is now being used to aggressively target political dissent within the United States.” (09/11/26)
