We need to understand that marriage between a man and a woman is the foundation building bock of all society. Divorce breaks down the foundation of not just a marriage but society as a whole. violence and abuse within marriage will break marriage too even if it doesn't lead to divorce.

I hear you and others, stress 'parental Rights ' with regard to teaching personal values. While I don't really disagree, I do feel stressing parental Rights doesn't quite hit the mark. I believe that it's a child's right to learn values from the ones that love them the most and have their best interests truly at heart. And it's the parents RESPONSIBILITY to make sure they are the ones teaching their children their values. It's the school teacher's responsibility to support the parents. An Elementary student probably does spend more time with the Teacher than the parents during a school day, But it's not true that teachers spend more time with the child than the parents because their time is divided between all the other children in the classroom. and the teacher will only have the child as a student for 9 - 10 months at most. The teacher has no right to assume they have the most important role in the life of their student, by a long shot. The teacher did not carry the student f

as someone who is old enough to remember how hard we fought to put down racism back in the 1960s, it's just so galling to see it come back with people who should know better, but yet seem to feel so entitled to indulge in racism.

I would be surprised to find that a public bathroom litter box ever needed to be cleaned. But if they are giving away T-shirts for using a public litter box perhaps with a message saying something like "I do number one and number two in public bathroom litter boxes ", Well yeah, I could believe some people would go for that.

very interesting ruminations, Seems to me, women have been in a "beauty arms race ' ever since ancient Egyptian women invented mascara. The girls that don't keep up, are perceived is plain and unattractive by comparison. Not Fair? Yes. But who is willing to be the first to put down the lipstick? cosmetic companies make billions, beating that no one will. p.s. I just made up that factoid about Egyptian women, I have no idea who invented mascara. but point made.

There are all kinds of problems with reparations, It's clear that paying reparations would pull the country apart, notice just taking about reparations pulls us apart. Seems for a few cynical people, pulling the country apart is the point. Does anyone, anywhere, think we can solve are racism problems by just buying it off with money?

I think fictional, mythical characters like Tinkerbell and the Little Mermaid are entirely fair game for being depicted as any race you want. after all, these characters are not even supposed to be human in the strictest sense. But historical characters are different, so many people get their understanding of real history from entertainment media.

seems we all not only want to claim victimhood, we also need to find affirmation of our victimhood. so it now seems we have a shortage of blatant victimizes so we need to pull out our agression microscope to show we are victims. now, are we to believe that microaggressions are actually worse than blatant aggressions because they are hidden from view.

love your show and your courage in sharing your opinions about Crowder and the Daily wire. I find your comments quite informative for me. one update on your comments, apparently they did have a phone conversation to try to work things out. we know what because Crowder shared select parts of his secret bad faith recording with his "friend " Jeremy Boreing to try to prove his point. which seems to be that Boreing is persecuting him by not giving him the deal he wants. seems like a high class problem to me .

Alex Jones is right about 95 percent of the time. When he was wrong about this he apologized a bunch of times. He usually turns out to be right years later. Your little sidekick isn't a free speech absolutist. You guys are only giving one side of the story. He wasn't even allowed to defend himself. The left did this to him so that they could do it to you. How can you not understand this. An FBI agent, who he had never even met, was allowed to sue him. The only thing that she brought up about this is how dangerous this is for people like you.
