America is engulfed in protests once again, under the auspices of moral indignation and compassion. Yet not far below the surface, we can see a driving revolutionary ideology that is propelled by an unholy union of resentment and covetousness.

The USNS Harvey Milk is finally being renamed. Why was a Navy ship ever named after a man who preyed on teen boys? What we glorify reveals what we believe. A moral nation cannot celebrate perversion and expect to endure.

Priests in Charlotte are being forced to flatten the liturgy and betray their vocation. This isn’t about unity—it’s about control. A reflection on the harm being done under the guise of reform.

Behind South Africa’s farm murders lies a story the media won’t tell—of racial vengeance, ideological blindness, and the collapse of moral order. The violence against South African farmers isn’t a myth—it’s a crisis the media refuses to name. Denial has a cost, and it’s being paid in blood.

Imagine defending yourself from a rapist, and then being charged for that defense and imprisoned for 17 years. That is the reality of Martyna Ogonowska, sentenced under Britain’s unjust legal system, which hinges upon a broken system of morality.

Pornography has rewired a generation. Choking is now considered “just part of sex.” ER visits are up. Dead bodies are being excused with “She consented.” This isn’t liberation—it’s desecration. What we call love is increasingly indistinguishable from violence.

I wanted to provide a health update, in light of all of the well-wishes and inquiries that I have received. I had the gallbladder surgery, which was successful. I now have four small wounds in my abdomen, which are healing nicely…

As Catholics and commentators alike dissect Pope Leo XIV’s past, we’re reminded that the papacy is not a political office—and treating it like one blinds us to its spiritual reality.

I have been told that I need to have surgery, and that I may not safely delay. I have lost the ability to eat most foods, because my gallbladder needs to be removed. Surgery is scheduled for May 6th, and I would appreciate your prayers for its success and a rapid recovery.

With Pope Francis’ passing, many rush to praise. Let’s have a more honest reckoning—acknowledging ambiguity, failures, and the need for mercy.

In a world that trivializes evil and buries grief, we must confront both the brokenness within and the ruin around us. Easter is a reckoning.

As the West unravels, hope endures—not in online echo chambers, but in rooms where people still care about truth, beauty, and rebuilding what was lost. This is how we fight the collapse.

Ahead of a speaking event in Chicago, a candid reflection on the necessity of real-world community, the failures of DEI, and the delusions of disarmament in violent cities. Some things still need to be said face-to-face.

Modern society cultivates despair by depriving people of meaning, heroes, and true human connection. In a world that denies the soul and offers no redemption, isolation and hopelessness thrive. But we were made for more.

Here we go again, with another fake noose. This time, the offender (LaTarsha Brown) was a city employee and member of the school board. She was expecting sympathy, attention, and solidarity, but the city took the complaint seriously and did an investigation.

The conviction of a Pride co-founder for child rape is not an anomaly but a symptom of a society that refuses to acknowledge uncomfortable truths. It is a dangerous consequence of ideological blindness, of which our children bear the cost.

ActBlue pours billions into shaping elections, but is ‘democracy’ just a weaponized illusion? When votes are bought and culture is engineered, the moral high ground crumbles. The Left claims to defend democracy—yet bends it to its will. Is this the real scandal?

What DOGE has revealed about the nation’s expenditures is fascinating, because it shows that it is not simply the case that the government has been wasteful. What we are seeing is the selective and precise export of the worst of our culture.

I converted to the Catholic Faith almost 3 years ago, but never before have I talked through what that process looked like, and why I was moved to convert. Here is that story. Watch on YT instead: https://youtu.be/ig7yg3eYdr8

Andrew Tate presents himself as a model of masculinity, but his values are fundamentally at odds with the moral foundations of the West. His worldview undermines the very civilization he claims to defend.

Washington State is engaging in a two-pronged attack against children, both planning to put felons in school systems as volunteers, and creating a “grace period” before notifying their parents of sexual abuse. It’s a disordered prioritization that places the guilty above the innocent.

Catholics, especially younger Catholics, are urged under the name of charity to be more open to Protestants, which is difficult if not impossible to delineate from simply being less Catholic. Ceding ground under the auspices of ecumenism is abusive to Protestants and Catholics, the former who have the right to hear the Truth, and the latter who have a duty to defend it.

Disasters fade from the headlines, and political victories feel secure—until they aren’t. Real stability requires more than fleeting wins; it demands vigilance, strong communities, and foundations that can withstand the test of time.

The preemptive pardons of one’s political allies creates an aristocracy, set apart from the common folk. When people view the courts and the legal system as mere vessels of power, wielded as political tools, they lose their ability to seek redress. They necessarily see themselves as part of an inferior, perhaps voiceless, class.

Martin Luther King Jr. is so celebrated that he has his own day in the American calendar, but is that appropriate? Who exactly are we upholding as someone to emulate? Let’s look closer than most people ever do. Audio taken from this video: https://youtu.be/AYJb70sUzeg

A man’s quest for a crown of ribs exposes the shocking depths of modern medicine’s ethical collapse. Trans mutilations paved the way toward a complete abandonment of moral standards.

Behind veneered speeches about “cultural differences” and “cultural incompatibility,” there has been a failure to properly assert the truth that the children who were raped were targeted specifically because they were white and not Muslim. These men were not targeting members of their own community.

Mark Zuckerberg released a video claiming that the mainstream media and fact checkers have become too left-wing, and then blaming them for Facebook’s censorship. Yet, that’s not what happened. Facebook chose those companies BECAUSE of their bias, not despite it. Now Meta is seeking to distance itself from its own policies, for financial reasons.

Vivek and Elon’s concerns about the work ethic of American youth are not entirely without merit, but we still cannot yield to their desires to import a worker class. Not everything is about Big Tech. This is about America’s soul.

Embracing the old tradition of sharing book lists at the end of the year, I would like to share my top five. I am blessed to read some fascinating works each year, and I often get asked about what I am reading. I do not believe any of the following books were written or published in 2024, for I rarely read the newest releases in any genre, but rather, they are timeless.

I joined Fr. McTeigue on The Catholic Current to discuss my newly released book, Failing Foundations: The Pillars of the West Are Nearing Collapse. How do we go about building a tomorrow worth saving?

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.
