The media is so consistently dumb on this stuff.
Bloomberg could not be more wrong. Data (on hhld income) says: ✔️Married moms: $133K ✔️Childless single women: $79K That’s a $54K gap. Marriage is not a path to poverty. It’s a path to prosperity.

The school districts seek to shut parents out of the process. Because with parental involvement comes accountability. Many great families have already checked out and homeschool instead. Their numbers are rising day by day.
Who is this woman? Many folks would vote for her to be governor of North Carolina tomorrow. She's sounds like a GenXer. The revolution will happen when parents get more involved in the direction of education in their districts. . .

The Chicago Cubs were resting their offense tonight. It's going to be such a LONG offseason campaign! It's important to get some rest when you can.

Seriously? Also, the percentage of young men who are unmarried is at a record high levels.
Some men are skipping showers before dates to embrace a new trend called “pheromone-maxxing," hoping their natural scent will make them more attractive. But experts say the science behind the dating strategy is far from settled: "There is no evidence of a consistent and strong behavioral response to any human-produced chemical cue. To date, scientists have collected evidence for possible pheromone effects but have not definitively identified a single human pheromone," Scientific American explained.

The way out is to renew the old idea of college as a place of both intellectual and moral formation, growth in skill, and development of virtue. Head and heart. Neither at the exclusion of the other. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

We are losing our sanity.

While my MAGA friends gloat over Trump's massive influence in the primaries (congrats), remember that this is true:
It is depressing that Texas voters have to choose between a grifting adulterer dirtbag and an extreme far left lunatic with heretical and unacceptable cultural, theological, and political positions. Neither are acceptable candidates. Neither are conservative. Neither are moderate. Neither are fit for office. Any attempt to criticize one by defending the other is intellectually and morally deficient. BOTH candidates are unworthy of one’s support. It is not just that I CAN hold both positions at once (Paxton is personally unfit; Talarico is positionally unfit) - it is that I MUST hold both positions at once.

Thankful for @gcrumejr at Judson College.
At least one college president, Christian college Judson, is telling me this list is not accurate and that Forbes used misleading metrics.

Great question. Almost no blip in happiness among those married.
Young adult happiness is falling, yet it’s being driven by the unmarried. Married 22-35 year olds are as happy as ever. So why does the media keep saying that single women are the happiest out there? Who wants us all single, and why?
