We forgive each other every other label. The Enneagram four gets to be dramatic. The ISTJ gets to color code the church directory. But denomination is the one tag we will go to war over. And it might be the one sitting closest to the wiring we already agreed to forgive. This piece is worth reading before the next argument. Read it on The Daily Wire.

Anne Hathaway announced she is expecting her third child at 43. The response from many self-proclaimed traditionalists was criticism, not congratulations. A culture that is truly open to life celebrates pregnancy at every age. This piece makes the case that there is no contradiction between supporting young motherhood and celebrating older motherhood. Both are gifts.

Everyone has an explanation for the bedroom crisis. It's stress. It's phones. It's 'intimacy issues.' Nobody names the obvious one. The evidence is there. The link is documented. But naming it means a harder conversation. Here's the piece people are avoiding.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
