You\u2019re just not supposed to notice that all the mass shooters were on SSRIs, or that the vast majority of violent crime is committed by young black men, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Closely related to the \u201cwar on noticing\u201d is something you might call the \u201cwar on showing.\u201d Leftists will happily use euphemisms to describe their policy goals, but they\u2019ll go to extraordinary lengths to avoid showing you what those policy goals actually entail. They\u2019ll talk about the \u201cwoman\u2019s right to choose\u201d or \u201cgender affirmation surgery,\u201d for example. But under no circumstances would they want voters to see any footage from an abortion, or a \u201cvaginoplasty\u201d or whatever they call it. They understand that, if most people actually saw the horrific procedures they\u2019re talking about, support for Leftist ideology would collapse overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Nevertheless, every now and then, despite the best efforts of activists who are committed to keeping you from \u201cnoticing,\u201d reality occasionally slips through. The masses get a glimpse of the utter depravity that every major institution of the Left \u2014 from the media to academia to Big Tech censors \u2014 tries so hard to conceal.\u00a0 One of these moments took place over the weekend, when millions of Americans saw this video, which was uploaded by a gay 51-year-old Nashville-based country music songwriter named Shane McAnally. (And yes, that\u2019s actually his name: Shane McAnally). He\u2019s apparently collaborated with singers like Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban, and he\u2019s won a few Grammys. In this footage, which we\u2019ll play in a second, McAnally\u2019s self-described \u201chusband\u201d shows off a five-month-old child whom they acquired through \u201csurrogacy.\u201d And in particular, McAnally\u2019s alleged \u201chusband\u201d attempts to get the baby to say, \u201cwho do you want, Dada or pop,\u201d to which the child responds, \u201cMama.\u201d\u00a0 From behind the camera, McAnally informs the child that \u201cmama\u201d isn\u2019t an option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"QZtf4kI3JOY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"001 Baby Comments V2\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QZtf4kI3JOY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: @shanemcanally\/Instagram.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">No matter how much propaganda people have been force-fed by the corporate press, and no matter how much reprogramming they\u2019ve undergone at a university, this kind of video cuts through all of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">At a primal level, unless you\u2019re completely broken as a human being, this footage is both enraging and intolerable. Your first reaction is that you have to find that child, rescue him from these psychopaths, and return him to his mother. It\u2019s not simply that these two men clearly aren\u2019t interested in properly taking care of this child, or treating him as a human being, instead of a social media prop. The issue is that these two men, as a matter of basic human biology, are incapable of properly taking care of this child. They are not able to give the child what he actually needs, which is a mother and a father. A child needs his mother. Neither one of these men are his mother, and neither one of them can properly take the place of the mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1765-the-matt-walsh-show?elementPosition=1&amp;row=5&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-976065\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg\" alt=\"DailyWire+\" width=\"1024\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2025\/09\/Matt-watch-now-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">That\u2019s what makes the moment so profound, and so unbearably sad, when the baby asks for \u201cmama.\u201d Some commenters have defended McAnally and his fake husband by saying that the baby is just babbling. He doesn\u2019t know what \u201cmama\u201d means. He\u2019s too young to speak using words. And that\u2019s true. But it doesn\u2019t make this moment any less horrifying. Babies say \u201cmama\u201d before they even know what the word means because \u201cmama\u201d is an easy sound to make. This is how the word \u201cmama\u201d came to be. It\u2019s why we call our mothers \u201cmama,\u201d which we usually shorten to \u201cmom\u201d as we get older. And it\u2019s why almost every culture on Earth uses the word \u201cmama\u201d or \u201cmom\u201d or some slight variation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So we are born saying the word \u201cmama\u201d before we know what it means. In a normal, healthy situation, the adults in the baby\u2019s life \u2014 especially his mama \u2014 will respond enthusiastically when he makes that sound. And that\u2019s how he\u2019ll learn to attach the sound to the most important person in his life, his mother. He\u2019ll make the sound, his mother will light up and smile, and he\u2019ll learn that the sound applies to his mother. This is the natural way of things. The process works beautifully. It\u2019s engrained in us from birth. It is a beautiful, wonderful thing. Except when the child is torn away from his mother at birth and forced into an unnatural, disordered environment. Only then does this beautiful, wonderful, natural process become tragic and sad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">McAnally and his \u201chusband\u201d have made the decision to exploit the tragedy and sadness of the child\u2019s situation for social media clout. When McAnally posted that video on his Instagram, as you saw there, someone posted a comment that read, \u201cThrow it away and start over.\u201d And McAnally replied to the comment with some laughing emojis. He also uploaded this footage, which has the caption, \u201c6-week old homophobic baby.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"aV_kjVIQqQs\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"002 homophobic baby V2\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aV_kjVIQqQs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: @rightanglenews\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The baby\u2019s face suddenly grimaces when he\u2019s informed that he supposedly has two fathers, instead of a mother. And this is hilarious, because you see, the baby is acting like one of those backwards Right-wing bigots, who think children actually need a mother. So he posts the image of this child on his Instagram, and uses his child as a punchline. And then, when the online backlash began, McAnally <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-15741905\/Gay-dads-baby-mama-Shane-McAnally-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">insisted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> that the outrage was overblown and that he\u2019s actually, \u201cquite conservative\u201d politically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Just to be clear about this: If you believe two men should raise children together, you\u2019re not a conservative. You\u2019re destroying the most critical, fundamental bond that a child can have. You are permanently altering the trajectory of their life, for the worse. And it\u2019s not even a close call. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of human nature doesn\u2019t need to have this explained to them. If you don\u2019t believe in conserving the fundamental building block of human civilization \u2014 which is the family \u2014 then you are not a conservative by any meaningful definition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And yet, you\u2019ll hear it endlessly claimed that \u201cscience\u201d somehow proves that children don\u2019t actually need a mother. They\u2019ll cite all kinds of studies, which supposedly show that children raised in gay households don\u2019t suffer any negative developmental consequences. So a few years ago, a woman named Katy Faust \u2014 who founded the organization \u201cThem Before Us\u201d \u2014 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thembeforeus.com\/study-studies-same-sex-parenting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">looked into<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> these claims. She found \u2014 unsurprisingly \u2014 that these \u201cstudies\u201d were unscientific nonsense. Many of them recruited their survey participants directly from websites devoted to gay activism. Additionally, she found that, several years after the Obergefell ruling that legalized gay marriage, only 0.02 percent of all households in the United States consisted of same-sex couples raising children. This is an extremely small number of households, which makes it very difficult to find a sample size for any kind of usable data set. You run into the same problem with all of the studies purporting to show that \u201cgender affirmation surgery\u201d benefits children. All of those studies are absolute bunk because of the methodology used to conduct them. Just like the studies extolling the virtues of gay parenting, these are not blind studies. The participants know what the study is trying to prove, and they are recruited for that purpose. And the sample sizes are so small that no reliable conclusions can be drawn from them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You\u2019ll find this with any major society-altering change the left is trying to foist on us. They make the change and then 10 seconds later claim to have volumes of long term, scientifically conclusive studies proving that the change is good. But it wouldn\u2019t be possible for them to have that kind of data. If they have the data, it\u2019s because they engineered it. They rigged it to achieve the desired outcome. That\u2019s inevitably what\u2019s required if you want a study to somehow prove that it\u2019s a good idea to chemically castrate a child, or that a child is better off being raised by two men rather than his own mother and his own father. These are irrational, illogical conclusions that fly in the face of common sense, biology, and thousands of years of human experience. They are conclusions that you can only arrive at if you\u2019ve predetermined them from the outset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In reality, the ideal and natural situation is that a child is raised by a mother and a father. Two men raising a baby can never be ideal, by definition. And that is putting it very, very mildly. In many cases, these situations go from far from ideal to outright horrifying, very quick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Consider this case out of Georgia:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"SsgFbKWMzBQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"efefec\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SsgFbKWMzBQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: @Law&amp;Crime Network\/YouTube.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Notice the line about how these children were adopted through a \u201cChristian special needs\u201d program. This is a recurring theme, sadly, when it comes to the worst, most civilization-destroying ideas known to man. For pretty much every single one of them, you\u2019ll find a \u201cChristian charity\u201d funding or enabling it, in some way. Christian charities resettle more foreign invaders in the United States than anyone else. They support all the \u201cclimate change\u201d scams and \u201cracial justice\u201d programs and so on.\u00a0 And now they\u2019re helping gay men find children to rape and abuse \u2014 a crime that, even in Georgia, apparently doesn\u2019t qualify these two gay men for the death penalty. So you have to wonder why we even have a death penalty at this point, if this isn\u2019t going to qualify.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But as heinous as this crime is, it\u2019s not exactly uncommon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Here\u2019s another <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c5y21d4zrrxo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">recent case<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> from Britain:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cA man has appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting and murdering a 13-month-old boy he was seeking to adopt. High school teacher Jamie Varley is also accused of repeated counts of assault, cruelty and indecent images. All of the charges relate to Preston Davey, who was pronounced dead shortly after he was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital in July 2023. Mr Varley, 36, and his 31-year-old co-accused John McGowan were in the process of adopting Preston. \u2026 Lancashire Police were alerted on July 27, 2023 after an unresponsive baby boy was brought into the hospital. Mr McGowan is accused of allowing the death of a child, sexually assaulting a child, and two counts of child cruelty.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">What you have to keep in mind here is that, simply from a statistical perspective, we have absolutely no way of knowing how often this kind of abuse takes place. Unless these abusers are dumb enough to brag about what they\u2019re doing, or manage to murder their child \u2014 something along those lines \u2014 then the abuse is nearly impossible to detect. And in many cases, there\u2019s not even a way to screen parents who are obviously a threat to their children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Remember the registered sex offender who managed to acquire a child through surrogacy in Pennsylvania?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"u4sqElfzDvQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"efefef\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u4sqElfzDvQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: Rightanglenews\/X.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It turns out that, in Pennsylvania and most other states, it\u2019s fine for a Tier 1 sex offender to acquire a child through surrogacy. They only care about the background checks for children who are adopted \u2014 and even then, we can assume, they\u2019re not exactly rigorous about the background checks. Think about how utterly deranged this is. A child is conceived through surrogacy, ripped from his mother, and dropped into the hands of two gay men, with no family to check in on him. \u201cDisturbing\u201d does not begin to describe this. But it\u2019s completely normal in most of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Mention any of these trends out loud, and you\u2019ll get shouted down or worse.

They\u2019ll accuse you of cherry-picking one or two bad outcomes. So to be clear, I\u2019m not talking about one or two extreme cases here. As a general matter, children raised in same-sex households have much worse life outcomes. This is from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1081103\" style=\"width:778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1081103\" class=\"wp-image-1081103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/Depression-stats.jpg\" alt=\"National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/Depression-stats.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/Depression-stats-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1081103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The green bar is children raised by a man and a woman, while the yellow bar is children raised by same-sex couples.

It\u2019s the same story. Children raised in same-sex households were more likely to have emotional problems across the board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Donald Paul Sullins, a professor of sociology at Catholic University, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/marriage-and-family\/report\/the-research-same-sex-parenting-no-differences-no-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">summarized <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">the findings this way.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cBiological relationship, it appears, is both necessary and sufficient to explain the higher risk of emotional problems faced by children with same-sex parents\u2026. The primary benefit of marriage for children, therefore, may not be that it tends to present them with improved parents (more stable, financially affluent, etc., although it does this), but that it presents them with their own parents.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You have to dig to find these studies, because this is not exactly the kind of research that\u2019s likely to be funded these days, or reported on. But it\u2019s all out there. And even if it wasn\u2019t, even if there wasn\u2019t a single study showing that children in same sex households have worse outcomes, we would still know that it\u2019s a horrible idea to let gay couples adopt or use surrogacy. We would know that because it\u2019s a matter of basic logic and common sense that by far the optimal situation for every child is to be raised by a mother and a father. Every child has a mother and a father. This is the natural set up. When I say that two men are not meant to become parents, I\u2019m not making a moral claim at all \u2014 although I do think gay adoption and surrogacy are immoral. But I\u2019m making an observation about physical reality. Two men are not meant to become parents. We know that because two men cannot become parents. In principle, by their very nature, they are forever and always, in all situations, through all of time, past present and future, excluded from the act of procreation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">None of the arguments I\u2019m making are new. It\u2019s not a revelation. If you go back to the Obergefell decision in 2015, and pull up John Roberts\u2019 dissent, you\u2019ll see that he makes all the same points. I\u2019m obviously not a fan of John Roberts, but this dissent has aged extremely well. Roberts argued that, if the Court forced the nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage simply because a bunch of activists demanded it, then those same activists would soon be able to insist on all kinds of other legal protections, without any basis in the Constitution. Roberts wrote that the Supreme Court was ordering, \u201cthe transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia, for the Kalahari Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the Carthaginians and the Aztecs.\u201d Roberts pointed out that, \u201cfor millennia, across all civilizations, \u2018marriage\u2019 referred to only one relationship: the union of a man and a woman.\u201d And Roberts noted that, \u201cWhen sexual relations result in the conception of a child, that child\u2019s prospects are generally better if the mother and father stay together rather than going their separate ways. Therefore, for the good of children and society, sexual relations that can lead to procreation should occur only between a man and a woman committed to a lasting bond.\u201d And from a democratic perspective, Roberts observed that only 11 states had voted to legalize gay marriage, while five states had legalized the practice through court decisions. The country was overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the institution of marriage intact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">How did the Supreme Court majority, led by Justice Kennedy, respond to all of these points? They didn\u2019t. Pull up the decision sometime and see for yourself. Obergefell wasn\u2019t based in the Constitution at all. It was the beginning of a slippery slope that has continued to this day. You can draw a straight line from Obergefell to those videos of the gay men taunting the baby that they purchased and trafficked into their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And by the way, when you hear the term \u201cslippery slope,\u201d you\u2019re often told that it\u2019s a \u201cfallacy.\u201d It\u2019s a convenient label that\u2019s used by people who know, very well, that the slippery slope is undefeated. If you give Left-wing activists any kind of concession, they\u2019ll immediately demand more concessions. If you change the definition of marriage to appease these people, they aren\u2019t going to stop there. They\u2019re going to recognize that you\u2019re weak. And then they\u2019re going to use the court system to enable horrors beyond human comprehension. Just like they used the courts to force gay marriage on every state, they\u2019ve used courts to mandate racial equity programs, gay adoption and surrogacy, and child castration and mutilation under the guise of so-called \u201cgender-affirming care.\u201d And the whole time they\u2019re doing it, they\u2019ll claim you\u2019re a bigot if you object. They\u2019ll accuse you of being a hateful person for recognizing obvious patterns of behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It\u2019s a total abomination. There\u2019s no coherent argument in defense of it at all. Literally not a single argument. The best that advocates can do is argue that maybe allowing gay men to purchase babies might not be that harmful to the baby. That\u2019s wrong, of course, but it\u2019s also not an argument for why this is a positive good that should be embraced, because it isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a \u201cright\u201d to become parents. It\u2019s not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It\u2019s like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? But as long as Leftists can invent rights out of thin air \u2014 which is what they did in Obergefell \u2014 then they\u2019re not going to stop until someone forces them to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So let\u2019s have that conversation. Let\u2019s state as plainly as we possibly can that two men cannot be parents. It\u2019s impossible. Doesn\u2019t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only \u201cright\u201d at issue here \u2014 and the one that\u2019s being ignored completely \u2014 is the right of the child. The child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father. The child not only has that right, but it is indeed one of the first and most fundamental rights. The whole idea of a right is that it is a thing you rightfully possess by nature. All of our legal rights in this country are based on the philosophical idea that some things belong to us by nature. Those are our \u201cunalienable rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Every child has a mother and a father by nature. A child\u2019s mother and father belong to him, and he to them. This is literally what a human right is. Some children will be deprived of one or both parents by death or some other misfortune. If that happens then obviously it can\u2019t be said that the child\u2019s rights are being willfully infringed, in the same way that we wouldn\u2019t say a person\u2019s property rights are infringed when a tornado hits their house. But when a conscious choice is made to uproot a child out and away from his natural family, rip him away from his mother, and place him into some kind of constructed, artificial scenario where he will be raised according to the impossible fiction that he has two dads \u2014 or two moms \u2014 then in that case his rights have been violated. They have been violated at the deepest level that it is possible for a right to be violated. A gay couple that is not allowed to adopt or use surrogacy is not experiencing any infringement of their rights because they have no right to possess a child that they did not and cannot conceive themselves. But a child on the other hand does have a right to his own mother \u2014 because she is his mother. This should not be a difficult concept to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And until we stop pretending that we don\u2019t understand the concept, children will continue to be abused in ways that we can\u2019t possibly fathom \u2014 or detect. The solution is clear: Ban adoption by gay couples. Ban human trafficking under the guise of \u201csurrogacy.\u201d Do it at the federal level. And ultimately we have to overturn Obergefell, which, next to Roe, is the most farcical and ridiculous supreme court decision of all time. I\u2019ve said repeatedly that conservatives haven\u2019t done much with their time in Washington. But if they can pass these bans, then they\u2019ll have made a major stride towards conserving one of the most important institutions in this country, which is the nuclear family. The Left has made the nuclear family their primary target precisely because they understand how important the institution is to Western civilization. Before any more children are tortured, and before any more lives are destroyed, we need to defend it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/this-video-is-one-of-the-worst-things-ive-seen-in-a-long-time\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have heard Left-wing political orthodoxy described as a \u201cwar on noticing.\u201d\u00a0 Steve Sailer wrote a book on the topic, called \u201cNoticing.\u201d At every opportunity, Leftists will demand that you deny the reality that\u2019s directly in front of your eyes.
