The YMCA’s descent from Christian haven to LGBTQ+ sanctuary for children  Yesterday, the American Parents Coalition sent a warning about YMCA summer camps: They’ve embraced the transgender agenda, so you have no idea who will be sharing your daughter’s shower or her cabin. This trajectory perfectly illustrates O’Sullivan’s First Law, which predicts the inevitable decline of Western institutions. Image

DEI is a Con: Five Hallmarks of a Hustle  

The retreat of DEI may be one of the biggest political and cultural reversals in recent history. Corporate America is running from its DEI trainings and programs in droves. Wall Street has soured on it. Many states, and now the federal government, have declared war on it. And many ordinary Americans are tired of it.

Democrats and Their DEI Albatrosses 

The left created DEI—the use of race to adjudicate every political issue.

And like any addictive, toxic drug, they now can neither survive with DEI—nor without it.

Universal Flu 'Vaccine' Advances: Government's Chimeric Experiment Risks Unleashing Uncontrollable Mutations and New Man-Made Pandemics  The GAO’s report reveals a disturbing truth: Scientists are artificially fusing viral strains to create a synthetic flu shot that doesn’t exist in nature. This “next-generation platform” isn’t designed to end pandemics—it’s designed to target them after they’re unleashed. The Department of Defense’s involvement hints at darker motives, particularly given the military’s history of biodefense programs that blur ethical boundaries.

Scary AI, and Scarier Not-Scary AI 

In Christianity, Satan is the superhuman expert at lies and deception. He can appear as an angel of light, he’s smarter than anyone except Jehovah, and he’s so persuasive that he talked a whole lot of angels into revolting against their creator. He was created as the #2 for God. If you’re the right hillbilly from Georgia you might beat him at a fiddle contest, but you’re not going to out-reason or out-argue him.

   It’s a game where the only winning move is not to play. That is, don’t engage, don’t talk, or argue, or listen. That way lies tragedy. (Games where the only winning move is not to play seem to go well with AI, somehow).

The Solution To Cheating On Exams With ChatGPT Is Painfully Old-School: Blue Books Students outsourcing their assignments to AI and cheating their way through college has become so rampant, so quickly, that it has created a market for a product that helps professors ChatGPT-proof school. As it turns out, that product already exists. In fact, you’ve probably used it. You might even dread it.

It’s called a blue book. Image

Energy Heresy: Why America Must Exit the Green Delusion 

Wind and solar are insufficient to meet current needs—let alone the additional demands of a complete electric transition.

  The so-called “green transition” was neither green nor a transition. It was a policy mirage built on coercive mandates, lavish tax subsidies, and magical thinking—a political agenda masquerading as planetary salvation.

   And when confronted with its egregious failures, the high priests of green energy offer no course correction—only deeper dogma. They cling to their climate catechism with apocalyptic fervor—never solutions—casting dissenters as heretical deniers.

Summer of European Blackouts Continues, with Outages in Nice and Cannes in France This weekend, the outages continued as southeastern France experienced two major power blackouts that disrupted daily life in Cannes and Nice, affecting more than 200,000 homes and critical infrastructure.
