Divorce is statistically more damaging to a child's education than the death of a parent. And yet every powerful institution in the country is working overtime to convince you that divorce is empowering.
This article says what most people will not. Read it on The Daily Wire.
The death of Jason Arday hit so close to home that I had no words yesterday. But I woke up with words.
To be a prominent antiracist Black scholar is to know you are a target, almost totally surrounded by resentments. You know that at any point, the attacks can come like a lynch mob.
And if you die from all the attacks, the media still calls the attacks on you “accusations” to wash their hands of the blood. Your lynchers announce your death as if they had no role in your lynching.
My latest at The Emancipator.

A steering wheel lock is an anti-theft device for a car. It physically prevents the steering wheel from being turned normally, making the vehicle much harder to drive away even if someone manages to start it.
The classic version is a metal bar that locks across or through the steering wheel, often called a “club.” Some cars also have a built-in steering lock that automatically locks the steering column when the ignition is off or the key is removed.
In 2001, the Taliban destroyed the 1,500-year-old Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan despite international appeals to preserve them. From 2014 onward, ISIS carried out an especially systematic campaign of cultural destruction, demolishing ancient Assyrian remains at Nimrud, damaging sites at Hatra, destroying shrines and antiquities around Mosul, and murdering archaeologist Khaled al-Asaad at Palmyra. These modern cases were driven by extremist iconoclasm that regarded certain statues, tombs, and religious monuments as idolatrous. At the same time, Islamic civilizations also preserved enormous bodies of Greek, Roman, Persian, Christian, Jewish, and pre-Islamic scholarship and material culture, so cultural destruction is better attributed to particular rulers and ideological movements than to Muslims as a whole.
Louis IX of France, better known as Saint Louis, was King of France from 1226 to 1270 and one of the most famous medieval Christian monarchs. A deeply religious ruler, he strengthened royal justice and administration in France, commissioned Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house important Christian relics, and was later canonized as a Catholic saint.
Louis was also one of the last major Crusader kings. He personally led the Seventh Crusade (1248–1254), attacking Egypt because it was the strategic center of Muslim power in the region. His army captured Damietta but was eventually defeated; Louis himself was captured at the Battle of Fariskur in 1250 and released after a large ransom. Rather than immediately returning home, he spent several years strengthening Crusader fortifications in the Holy Land. In 1270, he launched the Eighth Crusade, this time against Tunis, where he became ill and died. His reputation for personal piety, charity, justice, and commitment to crusading led to his canonization in 1297.
The bracelet scam is a common tourist scam in places like Rome, Paris, Milan, and other major European cities.
Someone approaches you, often acting very friendly, and quickly tries to tie a string bracelet around your wrist. They may initially say it’s “free,” a “gift,” or “for friendship.” Once it’s tied on, they demand money, sometimes aggressively. Because it’s physically attached to you, people often feel pressured to pay just to end the interaction. Sometimes an accomplice may also use the distraction as an opportunity for pickpocketing.
The best response is don’t let them touch your wrist. Keep walking.
The West has so much dormant potential.
It is time to awaken it.
It is time to usher in the Age of Prometheus.
To charge fearlessly into chaos, unleash all the energy, and bring order to the universe.

Atelier Missor deserves enormous praise for this.
At first, I thought the sculpture had been commissioned by SpaceX. It turns out Atelier Missor funded the project through its own fundraising efforts.
This French group of sculptors deserves both a follow and public support.
You may also remember their efforts more than a year ago to save the statue of Joan of Arc in Nice.
They are proving that the revival of classical art can come directly from artists and the people willing to support them.
