We are just days away from Pride Month — a fact some of us might have forgotten about in the high that comes from being in the cultural ascendency. Unfortunately, America’s school children haven’t had that luxury. In a recent op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Daniel Buck noted that middle America — Midwestern, middle-income, neither incredibly Republican nor Democrat — is infested with progressive-inspired teaching methods when it comes to public education.

As a general rule, modern man is incredibly uncomfortable with the concept of dying. In his defense, so have most people throughout time: The Epic of Gilgamesh is the story of a man seeking to avoid the inevitable; medieval philosophers took to alchemy; Ponce de LĂ©on was allegedly searching for the mythical Fountain of Youth when he discovered Florida; and Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler apparently began a search for the Holy Grail, believing it would grant him eternal life.

“We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the U.S.,” a Wednesday New York Times headline read. Sure, plenty of well-known Democrats (mostly from Hollywood and the media) vowed to leave the U.S. in the event of a second Trump presidency: Sharon Stone, Cher, Barbra Streisand, Raven-Symoné, Whoopi Goldberg, Elon Musk’s gender-confused son Xavier Wilson, and even Cardi B rank among those who’ve at least hinted at that kind of radical action. But few of them have actually done anything about it.

Abortion has been a rather critical issue for Democrats in the past couple of years. First, it was protecting the status of Roe v. Wade against pro-lifers who were doing everything in their power to get it overturned. Then, it was reacting with disgust and horror when the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization actually did get it overturned. By the time Kamala Harris got started on her campaign to run for the presidential office, abortion was the party’s key issue.

At first glance, this last week hasn’t been good news for the conservative cause. On Monday, April 28, Canada rejected apple-eating, journalist-bashing, truth-speaking Pierre Poilievre in favor of banking magnate and globalist Mark Carney. In fact, it rejected him so emphatically that the man no longer has a job in politics.

There’s a universal truth about technology that most of us are somewhat unwilling to admit: Kids are better at it than adults are. At this point, it’s a stereotype: the grandparents who squint at their phones and poke at them while grumbling about “newfangled technologies” or the parents who hand their kids their phone to figure out a settings adjustment.

On Easter Sunday, Pope Francis was wheeled out to offer the traditional blessing of pontiffs to tens of thousands of Catholics in St. Peter’s Square. His voice was raspy, and he seemed tired and weak. Usually, the Roman pontiff offers an urbi et orbi (to the city of Rome and to the world) apostolic blessing on major feasts. But this year, Archbishop Diego Ravelli read Francis’s address, declaring that “Love has triumphed over hatred, light over darkness and truth over falsehood.

Ten minutes and 21 seconds. That’s how long Katy Perry and her all-female crew of self-proclaimed “astronauts” spent in the air during their trip to outer space. Despite the fact that the trip took as much time as it takes me to brew a cup of coffee, these women felt obligated to hold a press conference about it and turn it into a multi-hour livestream. The stunt was — the internet concluded — cheesy and tasteless.

At this point, Greta Gerwig is widely recognized as a rising star in the film industry — not as an actress, but as a screenwriter and director. Responsible for films like Lady Bird, Little Women (2019), and Barbie, she’s clearly aiming to write her name in indelible ink as one of the greats in the filmmaking business. Netflix has also suffered from the cultural counter revolution against wokeism. Her next big project? C.S. Lewis’s Narnia. And she’s reportedly on track to totally ruin it.

Here’s a fact most journalists and the economists they interview won’t admit: No one really knows what imposing tariffs on foreign countries like there’s no tomorrow will actually do to the American and global economies. Sure, the markets are currently panicking, but unless the individuals commenting on President Donald Trump’s tariffs have suddenly acquired crystal balls, they’re just as mystified about the whole thing as the readers turning to them to try and make sense of it are.
