A May 2025 report titled “Divorce, Family Arrangements, and Children’s Adult Outcomes” concluded that children aged five or younger suffer more severe and long-lasting impacts when their parents divorce than older siblings.

Middlebury College was a bastion of eugenics theory a century ago. The school today teaches an offensive array of racist ideologies that are indistinguishable from its eugenics advocacy of yesteryear.

Far-left extremists crave something to hate. That is their cult -- hate and suffering. Fortunately, the hate cult is waning in the face of truth. Aldous Huxley observed: "The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone.
Klar: What’s Controversial About the MAHA Commission Report?

6 days ago | granitegrok.com | John Klar

The 69-page MAHA Commission Report offers a fresh analysis of America’s escalating health crisis. It delivers on the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign pledge that drew independents and Democratic Party walkaways to join team MAGA’s Trump-Kennedy alliance in the 2024 election.
