Today we honor not plastic hats or green beer, but a slave boy who became a Saint and lit the fire of Christendom.

Born Patricius in Roman Britain, kidnapped at 16 by Irish raiders, he worked six years as a shepherd slave. In the cold and loneliness, he found God. He escaped, trained as a bishop, and returned to Ireland in 432 AD with nothing but the Gospel. He lit the Paschal fire on Slane, used the humble shamrock to teach the Trinity, and turned kings and clans from pagan darkness to the light of Christ. Though he died March 17, 461, his legacy exploded.

When Rome fell and barbarians burned Europe, Irish monks, Patrick’s spiritual sons, saved civilization. They proved Christianity’s core truth: every soul bears God’s image, liberty is divine, and charity outlasts empires.

The Great Famine drove my ancestors to America (who 200 years earlier lost our family Kirwin castle in beautiful Galway in a card game 😁). They were feisty risk-takers who helped shape this republic—founded on Christian dignity, religious freedom, and the rights Patrick’s faith first defended.

This day reminds us of the fire St. Patrick lit: for the working man, the faithful family, the patriot who loves America (and Ireland). It reminds us the West was built on Christ.

So wear the green for the Emerald Isle, fly Old Glory for our newfound home, and kneel in thanks to the God who sent Patrick.

“May the road rise up to meet you… and may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

Erin go Bragh. Sláinte. God bless America. Now live free, faithful, and full of fight! 🇮🇪🇺🇸✝️

So just to recap: a prison guard who lied to the authorities about checking on Epstein also coincidentally made a series of deposits in the weeks leading up to his death that were so suspicious that the bank independently reported them to the police. That same prison guard was searching for news about Epstein in the moments before his death. And that same guard was independently named by inmates who claimed that she was involved in covering up the killing. Also, two cameras in front of Epstein's cell malfunctioned while all of this was happening. That's a whole lot of coincidences stacking up on top of each other. I don't know. Seems strange to me. But I'm no detective.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

I didn’t really get the problem with gender ideology at first.

I’m liberal-minded about most things. 'Live and let' live has generally been my motto. I believed inclusion mattered. I believed in being kind. In not using language that might upset people unnecessarily.

I knew people who identified as transgender. I knew some adults chose medical treatments or surgery to resemble the opposite sex. That seemed to me a matter of personal autonomy. Adults can do what they wish with their own bodies.

What I hadn’t realised - and I feel slightly embarrassed admitting this - was that I’d misunderstood what was being claimed.

I thought “transgender” meant a form of self-expression. A man who liked wearing women’s clothes. Someone changing their name. Gender non-conformity.

What I hadn’t grasped was that some activists weren’t just asking for tolerance. They were asserting that declaring yourself the opposite sex made you the opposite sex. Not metaphorically. Literally.

And that this wasn’t just cultural. It had legal consequences.

- It meant men who said they were women were demanding access to women’s sports, prisons, domestic violence shelters and hospital wards

- It meant the rewriting of healthcare language - “pregnant people”, “bodies with cervixes” - to avoid saying “women”

- It meant children struggling with identity being affirmed onto medical pathways with lifelong implications

And also redefining same-sex attraction. Lesbians called 'bigoted' for not wanting relationships with men who identify as women. Gay men accused of prejudice for saying they're not attracted to female bodies. None of which made any sense.

But I'd also overlooked how far this had travelled - into HR policies, professional bodies, schools, political parties and public institutions.

And how easily disagreement was framed as cruelty. Speaking up felt risky - because others were being publicly humiliated for doing so.

None of this is abstract.

Because sex is the basis on which safeguarding works. On which data is collected. On which cancer screening programmes run. On which fair sport and single-sex spaces depend. It’s written into law - including the Equality Act - because material differences matter.

If sex becomes a 'feeling' rather than a biological category, those protections become unstable.

And once reality becomes negotiable, everything does.

Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
But I needed to be sure.

So I read. Books, research papers, policy documents. When I finally spoke publicly, there was backlash from all directions.

Many women thanked me - both quietly and publicly.
But some feminists criticised me for speaking too late.

Others were angry about a past interview I’d done with the parent of a transgender person, accusing me of promoting harm.

It takes courage to change your mind publicly.

It takes courage to speak when you know your reputation, friendships or livelihood may be on the line - when you know raising your voice could strain, or even end, relationships you value.

Once I understood what was at stake, staying silent was no longer an option. I lost my livelihood simply for saying I didn’t like the phrase “pregnant people”. That alone tells you something is deeply wrong. It shouldn’t be this way.

I will never judge any woman for when she finds her voice.

Because every voice adds value - whenever it is raised.

And I know how persuasive this ideology can be. I know how easily it bypassed me. And I know how much courage it takes to admit, publicly, that you got something wrong.

After decades of rising IQ scores, commonly known as the Flynn effect, studies show this trend has reversed, with average scores now declining in several developed nations. https://t.co/yS7xWquLAB.

We are not just seeing scores drop on subject tests, but also basic IQ tests. The reversal also seems to be driven by environmental, rather than genetic, factors.

[Anthony Bradley @drantbradley]

This will be an extremely controversial article. Prof. @jean_twenge shows that young adults are walking from LGBTQ+ identity and it was more of a social contagion than an orientation. There’s been a 21% decline in young adults identifying as LGB+ in just 3 years.

This is a really astonishing claim:

Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates.

Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders.

And yup, it checks out.

Reading performance (NAEP 2024, Grade 4 reading, average scale score):

Mississippi: 219
Louisiana: 216
New York: 215
California: 212

Child poverty (SAIPE; “estimated percent of people age 0–17 in poverty,” 2023):

Louisiana: 25.2%
Mississippi: 24.3%
New York: 18.6%
California: 15.0%

Per-pupil spending (public K–12 “current expenditures per pupil,” FY2023, inflation-adjusted to FY2023 dollars)

New York: $29,588
California: $18,568
Louisiana: $14,822
Mississippi: $12,238

It should be unacceptable to spend that much more taxpayer money while delivering worse results for students.

In order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great-grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4.094 ancestors over the last 400 years

Pause for a second and really think about this…

How many hardships did they survive?
How many silent battles did they fight?
How many tears did they wipe away?
How many moments of joy did they celebrate?
How many love stories began so that yours could one day exist?
How many dreams for a better future were whispered into the dark?
All of it…
just so you could be here, alive, in this moment
