The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease. A new analysis from the Pew Research Center has found that for the first time in American history, a majority of households with children now have two full-time working parents. According to 2025 Census Bureau data, 52 percent of married or partnered couples raising children under 18 both work full-time jobs. The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease, with just a quarter of households now consisting of a father working full-time while the mother remains at home. Meanwhile, families increasingly depend on two incomes to maintain a middle-class lifestyle

The U.N. inquiry finds that Israeli forces’ widespread shooting and killing of children and destruction of neonatal and maternity-care facilities is key to establishing genocidal intent, Stephen Prager reports.The report, authored by the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, follows a previous finding in September that Israel’s actions in Gaza constituted genocide. “The deliberate targeting of children is one of the key elements establishing genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces to destroy the Palestinian group, in whole or in part, in Gaza,” the commission said on Tuesday.

Transgender inmates moved out of Scots prisons today after judicial review

The Scottish Government revealed all prisoners would be segregated by biological sex with immediate effect today, regardless of which gender they identify with. It comes four days after a judicial review ruled that the Scottish Prison Service’s policy of segregated prisoners by gender-identity rather than sex was illegal. And three days after SPS chief executive Linda Pollock wrote a memo to staff insisting “the admissions practice remains in place” while bosses “carefully consider” the ruling. The SNP government then used a planted backbench written question in parliament, in the name of former SNP minister George Adam

...that violate religious beliefs. A Bay Area Christian couple is taking the Sunnyvale school district to court — alleging their child’s elementary school refused to let them opt out of sex and gender identity lessons that contradict their religious beliefs. Justin and Rose Taylor, both devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, claim the district flatly declined to excuse their two elementary-aged children from lessons on gender transitions and same-sex relationships in violation of a Supreme Court decision last year that affirmed the rights of parents to opt out of such material on religious grounds.

Its toxic bilge poisons much of society, but those who complain about it are often dismissed as ignorant or bigoted.

Scottish Court Rules Against Biological Males Being Held in Women’s Prisons
Topic: Political Correctness

There is a major ruling in Scotland where a court declared that it is generally unlawful to house a transgender biological male in a women’s prison. The decision follows the ruling of the top UK court that a woman is defined by her biological gender at birth. The timing is notable as we await a couple of transgender rulings from our own Supreme Court this week. The decisions also highlight the anomaly of police continuing to arrest people who object to transgender policies under the aggressive anti-free speech laws in the United Kingdom.

Appeals court blocks CA law that hides gender confusion from parents
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Just the News
"The Supreme Court has spoken to every state legislature and school district in America: you do not have the right to keep parents in the dark about their own children," say lawyers for parents whose victory led to new appeals ruling. The writing appears to be on the wall for elected officials and bureaucrats who keep parents in the dark about their children's mental health, as a Supreme Court ruling in favor of parental rights in public schools trickles down to the lower courts. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked parts of a California law that gives students veto power over school districts and teachers telling their parents they don't identify with their sex – even when parents explicitly ask whether their children exhibit gender confusion – though the order is limited to the plaintiffs themselves.

The Standard notes that a reference is also made to women's "chastity," with the claim that such women are "not polluted by men."

The superintendent of Los Angeles public schools has resigned four months after he was put on paid leave during a federal investigation, the district's Board of Education said Monday. The FBI served search warrants on Feb. 25 at Alberto Carvalho's home and the LA Unified School District's headquarters. Two days later, the district's Board of Education voted unanimously to place him on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. months after he was put on paid leave during a federal investigation, the district's Board of Education said Monday.

The resignation was effective as of Sunday. Andrés Chait, who has been acting superintendent, will remain in that position until a permanent decision is made. Authorities have not provided details of the nature of the investigation involving the district, nor have they accused Carvalho of any crimes. Carvalho became superintendent for LA in 2022.

Group cites Collins's Kavanaugh vote and questions her abortion-rights record. Planned Parenthood just broke with one of its longtime Republican allies. The organization's political arm on Monday endorsed Democrat Graham Platner over Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, a notable snub of one of only two GOP senators who back abortion rights, the New York Times reports. National president Alexis McGill Johnson labeled Collins a "fair-weather feminist" in Portland, arguing the senator hasn't taken the "hard" stands needed since the fall of Roe v. Wade: "She is conveniently pro-reproductive freedom when it suits her," McGill Johnson said.

Chicago’s Latest Emergency Is A Word Nobody Can Define: Transfemicide
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Victory Girls Blog
Someone needs to update the spellchecker. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has apparently invented a new word. The word is “transfemicide.” Johnson spent part of the weekend reminding residents that Chicago remains under a “Transfemicide State of Emergency.” The term itself appears to have originated in activist and academic circles in Latin America before eventually making its way into reports, advocacy campaigns, and now Chicago City Hall. Apparently somebody decided America was not producing activist jargon quickly enough and started importing it.

Do “Anti-LGBTQ+” Policies Worsen Mental Health?
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: City-Journal
A recent survey claims to find they do, but its conclusions ignore key evidence. Transgender-identified teens are stressed about policies “related to their identities,” the education-focused website K-12 Dive recently claimed. That assertion was based on a 2025 survey by the Trevor Project, an influential LGBTQ advocacy organization ostensibly focused on suicide prevention. The numbers K-12 Dive presented are alarming, implying that kids with gender distress were at heightened risk of suicide thanks to “anti-LQBTQ+” policies. But while many of the survey’s findings fit progressive assumptions, its conclusions aren’t clearly supported by the evidence it offers.

From Courtrooms to Classrooms

The ABA’s DEI retreat could reshape legal education. For most Americans, the American Bar Association is merely a professional guild that publishes ethics opinions, hosts conferences, and occasionally weighs in on public policy. But in legal education, the ABA has long occupied a far more consequential role as de facto gatekeeper to the profession. That status helps explain why the ABA’s recent move to suspend—and purportedly, to eliminate—two of its controversial diversity mandates for law schools represents more than an internal procedural dispute. It signals a potentially significant recalibration in the balance between accreditation authority, constitutional law, and ideological conformity in higher education.

Do Democrats Know What a Man Is?

Democrats cannot answer “What is a Woman?” so it is not surprising that they struggle to answer “What is a Man?” But answer they must because the ‘young male vote’ could mean winning or losing the midterms. And, if Democrats persist in treating men in an insulting manner, they will lose and should lose.. The question of how to connect with men arose in the 2024 Presidential election because Democrats were desperate to draw on the ‘young male vote,’ which was skewing strongly toward Trump. Moreover, in 2024, only 58.3% of 18 to 24 year-olds were registered to vote compared to 80.5% of those 65 to 74; unregistered young men were an untapped demographic, but only if they could be reached.

Roupp explained his reasoning to reporters after the game.
