POV: COVID, Marriage, and Mental Health
I remember the day, a couple of months into COVID, when a close friend walked into my living room and said, with despair in her voice, “I don’t think I’m ever going to be hugged again.” Up until that point, we’d had a few folks over but had been maintaining some distance, trying to be […]
Virginia: A Resounding Victory for Parents and Children Beyond the Commonwealth!
Last night’s election results in Virginia have sent a shockwave across our nation and a resounding message that parents, children, and conservative pro-family values still matter!

I recently read Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.” It’s almost certainly the most important book I’ll read this year. It’s also probably the most controversial. Google the title and you’ll see what I mean. Major publications like The Economist and The Times of London have praised the book in the highest terms.
