Conservative writer Matt Walsh and his wife recently had identical twin girls, and he tweeted this: I remember soon after bringing my preemie identical twins home from their scary two-week stint in the NICU and crying in my exhausted state when I couldn’t tell them apart for breastfeeding. It was double trouble for real. My …
Since Christmas, my incredible husband has spent the last few days of his vacation coming up with a Dungeons & Dragons story to play with our three sons. Being Dungeon Master is quite an investment of free time, of which my hard-working husband has little, so they’ve played only once before and, admittedly, it has …
“Baseball is nothing more than another classroom in the educational process,” opined late Texas Longhorns baseball coach Augie Garrido. “Really, baseball is a metaphor for life.” This is a common refrain among those passionate about the intricate but simple beauty of baseball. Some see batters as a metaphor for finding your way back home, like …
Every January, I recoil as both a Christian and an American at the tedious and noxious deification of Martin Luther King, Jr. As my friend Boyd Cathey explains so thoroughly in his bold synopsis of the Cult of King and the corrupt cottage industries built upon the malevolent mythos, MLK is “that deeply and irredeemably …
When I saw this social-media post about the anniversary of Sam Houston’s death, it got me pondering about the past vs. present, and Americans of yore vs. Americans today. And I wondered: what can we actually learn from this intriguing “colossus in buckskin”? My eldest son is named Houston because it’s a family surname on …
“Why couldn’t she just be a lesbian?” is a refrain I’ve heard regarding my gender-confused teenage niece, whom I wrote about in Life with a Rainbow Mafioso. It’s a shocking statement, really, illustrating the nihilistic depths to which we’ve sunk. Drowning in unremitting depravity, we’re gasping for breath, desperately trying to get our heads above …
So, people on social-media are just now losing their minds over the Obama-era policy of children of illegal aliens being separated from their parents when they break immigration law. (Yes, they’re “illegal” because they’re not complying with US immigration law, and they’re “alien” because they’re foreigners. These are both risks that people take upon themselves …
Historian Brion McClanahan uses a sports metaphor to explain the coarsening of dialog pervading our culture. His theory isn’t that we’re playing the same game but with different rules. Rather, it’s that the “left” is playing football – a fast-paced game with frequent rule changes – while the “right” dutifully plods along playing baseball, which (used …
Yeah, I can’t believe American women are “still protesting this shit” either. So why exactly did these angry grrrrls march in cities around the country on Saturday? Well, solidarity it was not. It really ran the gamut, starting with your typical disjointed feminist talking points. Equality. Challenging the patriarchy. Pushing the matriarchy. Abortion, free and …
In my last blog, I wrote about the futility of the modern woman who forges her identity solely by occupation. These gals announce their irreplaceability, demand appreciation whether it’s earned or not, and then chase their tails around in a circle trying to force their view on the world, hoping it will all somehow ensure their own happiness. Really, what we have is a bunch …
