Original Article

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a report revealing that the rate of high school-aged girls in the United States considering suicide or going through depression has increased dramatically over the last 10 years. (snip) 57 percent of all high school girls felt depressed or hopeless in 2021, compared to just 36 percent in 2011; this marks a staggering 58 percent increase over the 10-year period. Similarly, 30 percent of girls in 2021 contemplated suicide, a 60 percent increase from just 19 percent in 2011. And in another 60 percent increase, 24 percent of high school girls went so far as to make plans for their own

This almost smacks of cult behavior. The young can be very suggestible.

It would be interesting to look at two control groups of high school girls who have considered suicide. One group would be removed and placed into a home school environment, but allowed to continue use of social media. The other group would stay in public school, but have all social media and cell phones removed. I really don't know which group would fair better.

WEF and the globalists think that there are too many people. So....push suicide every way you can. Push people to have no religion, no patriotism, no foundational beliefs, and isolate them from real friends and family....and then they are less likely to think that they have something to live for. Frankly, females have the nearly magical capability to, with some help from a father, create a human being, and then spend years nurturing and teaching that human being to be a good person, a constructive member of a family, of a community, of a country. Denying that any of those things have value, which the nihilistic leftist haters do, and you really harm people People need NORMALCY, and everything the left and Dems and WEF/globalists say and do are against normalcy. We need more NORMALS, as Kurt Schlichter calls us. I'm a proud Normal and I refuse to let anyone redefine what is normal to the abnormal. Homosexuals are abnormal. Transexuals are mentally deranged people and can never be normal, never change their sex. All sorts of things that the evil left pushes as "normal" are abnormal and destructive.

Social media is to blame. It's created a hostile school environment. Today's kids are much more cruel since they can click and send, comment on an awkward looking picture, etc... Then, it's sent around in a viral manner to the peers in high school. Funny thing, most won't ever see those people once they graduate HS. Those BFF's will be someone you once knew, but don't anymore except those old memories.

They were locked up for a year, they are taught that their country is a horrible racist place, they have no religion, they are told they might be the different sex, they are told they have no future because they will be incinerated by a warming planet in 12 years. Hm, wonder why they're depressed?

This is a MUST READ! American culture MUST appreciate and return to our traditional faith, hope, determination and joy in life! Such anticipation for, "normalcy," in the USA is indeed a blessing to be again be pursued with vigor as did generations before us! America's Constitutional principles are already tried and true.

From an early age they are taught that their parents and grandparents are ruining the environment and that they will not even have air to breathe. Then they are taught that they will all be drowning if they live near the coast. If they don't drown, then they will fry in the ever-increasing heat of global warming. Girls are more easily frightened and this constant preaching of nihilism eventually gets to the ones who do not have normal, sane parents to counter the environmental cultists. Then the books they are required to read in school are usually so depressing. Liberals take the joy out of everything and make no mistake, these kids are influenced and controlled by liberals in the school and the entertainment industries. I announced the pending birth of a new grandchild and my liberal sister responded, "That is so bad for the environment." Her only child has no children and has threatened suicide.

Social media is destroying our young females. Parents who love their children will strictly monitor their accounts and act accordingly. TikTok is the single most influential app on the planet. No girl can live up to what is depicted on that forum for mental illness. SnapChat is the second most influential. These kids really believe that the pictures they send disappear. I'll share what happened and happens at the school I used to teach at. We had sixth-grade boys and girls sharing nude photos with each other. That's ten-year-olds, folks. And it has happened every year for the past three years.

The increasing trend of suicides, regardless of age, suggests the strongest influence stems from the lack of knowledge of and/or belief in God compounded by the influence of Madalyn Murray O'Hair’s activism of supporting atheism and separation of church and state. That activism resulted in her legacy of a United States Supreme Court decision ruling in 1963 “that school-sponsored Bible reading in public schools in the United States was unconstitutional and tragically ending religious activities sponsored by public schools. The current sickening moral bankruptcy of this country has its roots in the 1960s counterculture movement that disregarded traditional values, including religion; the grandchildren of those hippies very likely have no foundation in religion so have no knowledge that God controls the universe. That control includes selecting heads of nations (Haggai 2:20-23; 1 Chronicles 14:2; Daniel 2:21, 4:17; Romans 13:1-2; Revelation 1:4-5) and the establishment of governments, civil authority (Romans 13:1-2). Today’s society is reaping what was sown at that time resulting in a vast number of adults and children having no knowledge of our Lord, or Scripture, or the remarkable men and women of Scripture. Egregious apostasy.

Documents disclosing the names of Jeffrey Epstein employees and other alleged associates are set to become public in the coming months, after the people did not object to unsealing the materials. More than 150 people who have confirmed or alleged links to Epstein, such as being his employee or one of his alleged victims, chose not to come forward to object to the disclosure of their names. They are mentioned in documents filed in a defamation case brought in 2015 against Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein associate. The lawsuit was settled in 2017, but outside groups have pushed for the release of the documents in the interest of public access.

Once upon a time, there were two Daily Mails, one in London and one in Charleston, West Virginia, where I toiled for 30 years. There may be other Daily Mails but these are the two I am writing about. The one in London is a rascal that is so conservative that when Lord Kitchener, Britain’s war secretary died during the Great War, the paper said it was a stroke of good luck for the empire.

Oklahoma Judge: Sperm-Donor Baby Belongs

An Oklahoma judge ruled on Thursday that a baby created for a lesbian couple using purchased sperm belongs with his biological mother and father, not his mom’s female ex. Kris Williams argued that because she helped raise the toddler with her now ex-wife Rebekah Wilson and since she is listed on his birth certificate, she deserves full parental rights. Oklahoma County District Judge Lynne McGuire rejected that claim and said that Oklahoma law detailing parentage trumps the state’s legalization of same-sex marriage. “[The act] does not take into account same-sex marriage, and there is no presumption that the wife of the mother is automatically presumed the parent of a child born during

The average person can’t describe the daily responsibilities of the secretary of transportation or even name the figure who holds that position — until our transportation infrastructure fails, that is. As far as cushy political appointments go, it’s on the thankless end of the spectrum. At least that was the case before Pete Buttigieg ascended to the role in 2021. Now the secretary of transportation is both a political celebrity and someone immune to meaningful criticism over our country’s transportation failures — and there have been many.Though the left rarely misses an opportunity to announce that “the adults are back in charge,” Buttigieg’s failures suggest otherwise.

Since the apocalypse, in their telling, is gonna be, well, apocalyptic, that means the defense against it must be just as all-embracing. And just as the defense against the real Nazi apocalypse bankrupted the British Empire, so, too, they are content to bankrupt America in the pursuit of a cause they believe has equal urgency.
