Growing up, I didn’t realize how good I had it. As the product of a two-parent household where my father was the breadwinner and my mother stayed at home to take care of three daughters, I felt confined — nay, strangled — by the very thought that my adult life would look anything similar. Why would I want to be subservient to a man? I was thirsty for financial freedom and an “out” from suburbia, so each poke my SAHM gave me to “get a good education,” I took seriously.

As a first-generation American of Lithuanian descent, I have a strong connection to this Baltic country. My parents fled Lithuania in 1985, then under Soviet control, and arrived in America in 1986 for a shot at the American dream. Like millions of families behind the Iron Curtain, mine faced unimaginable hardship and horrors—especially my maternal grandfather, who survived 18 months in one of Stalin’s gulags.

On this International Women’s Day, social media will be flooded with speeches, press releases, and hashtags about “empowerment” and “equity.” The United Nations will host panel discussions and promote another initiative in the name of “gender equality.” But these gestures, performative at best, do nothing to stop or call attention to the violence that defines reality for so many women around the world.

The recent viral video of a knife fight between a Russian and Ukrainian soldier provides a stark and brutal reminder of the realities of modern warfare. Captured from the helmet camera of the Ukrainian fighter, the footage is a raw depiction of close combat. The Ukrainian soldier, fatally wounded, calls for a friend who never comes, says goodbye to his mother, and exchanges words of respect with his adversary—acknowledging courage in the midst of mortal struggle.

On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order restoring biological clarity to federal policy — a decision that underscored the critical importance of defining what it means to be a woman or a girl. This move was not merely symbolic. Rather, it addressed a foundational issue at the heart of effective policymaking.

Media & Entertainment PBS receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal taxpayer funding, but its bias against conservatives threatens democracy by spreading fake news and pitting Americans against each other. President Donald Trump and Congress should fix this. On Monday, PBS falsely reported: “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.” Claims...

Sex-Based Quotas It’s Time to Banish DEI and End the Obsession with Race and Sex In 2020, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) grew to the status of a household catchphrase. By 2024, DEI was on life support. In 2025, we’re finally pulling the plug. Companies went woke, some went broke, and now DEI is going up in smoke. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, recently announced it was killing off its DEI programming immediately. Race, sex, and other protected characteristics...
