While Hunter’s pardon is being presented as an outlier, it is actually merely a continuation of a pattern of distorting the legal framework for his own ends. Here’s why that should matter to all of us.

We all have much to be thankful for this year. Let us come together in this public and communal act of worship and gratitude. We are bound together by our shared devotion, and such times remind us of our commonality and shared values.

My startling discovery of a body can show us the inherently masculine roles in a healthy society and within an emergency. Our societal attempts to eradicate masculine instincts will have real-world consequences.

I appeared on another episode of The Catholic Current, discussing what we should expect in the aftermath of the election, why it’s becoming harder to have Thanksgiving dinners with those on the other side of the political aisle, and the limits of our constitutional government. It was an engaging conversation.

Whoopi Goldberg has warned not to gather with those who voted for Trump this Thanksgiving. These anti-family announcements have been issued every two years for some time now. It’s because we are at a point of not just political divide—but moral divide, such that we no longer agree on foundational values.

The election of Donald Trump and the rejection of Kamala Harris has given us time, but this is not the end of the war. Our culture is in a dire state, and our political sphere will always reflect that. Celebrate the victories, but don’t walk away.

There’s a strange quiet in the run-up to the election, when we know that everyone has already chosen their side, even if they haven’t yet voted, and we’re just waiting for the tallies. Here are some thoughts to keep your sights properly aligned, regardless of the outcome.

When Americans hear of blatant human rights abuses in other Western countries, they typically rejoice that such a thing cannot happen here, a notion usually based on the perceived strength of the U.S. Constitution. Yet, as our society loses the understanding of what rights are and from whence they came, that document will lose its meaning and its force. A closer look will reveal that this is already happening.

There is a 2-mile stretch in Queens, NY, reminiscent of what one only expects to see in the third world, or perhaps deep in Bangkok. When police moved in to stop it, protests commenced. There is a tendency in the modern age to favor such vapid individualism that some will celebrate another person’s demise if only it can be alleged that he chose it.

There’s been recent momentum around shaming people for getting high-paying physical jobs or for demanding better working conditions. There’s nothing ‘conservative’ or ‘traditional’ about wanting workers to suffer and get paid less. If we want to encourage families (and we should), this is one place to start.
