The National Home Education Research Institute has been tracking homeschool outcomes for decades. The data is not close.

Homeschooled students score 15 to 25 percentile points above public school peers on standardized tests. Consistently. Regardless of the parents’ income or education level. They go to college at higher rates and graduate at higher rates.

There are now 3.4 million homeschooled students in America. That is 6% of all school age children and growing every year since the pandemic.

Meanwhile Connecticut just tried to force parents to notify child welfare agencies before pulling their kids from public schools. The system that is losing families by the millions wants permission slips before you can leave.

The public schools spending your tax dollars on DEI administrators and gender curricula are scoring around the 50th percentile. Homeschooled kids are scoring in the 65th to 80th percentile range. Without certified teachers. Without $19,000 per year in taxpayer funding. Without any of it.

John Taylor Gatto called it decades ago. The institution was never really about education.

Horrifying, listen to three professors from Virginia public universities discuss taking down the United States through violence.

“We actually need to crash the US—We must stand with the armed resistance.”

University Of Virginia Professor Spends Class Time Glorifying Hamas Terrorists; Urges Students To Violently Overthrow America’s Government

A professor at the University of Virginia is telling college students that picking up a gun “sets you free.” Not metaphysically. Not historically. Literally. He teaches this way. That is where your tuition money goes.

Professor Khaled Abu El Fadl has identified himself publicly as a “guerrilla scholar,” and he was caught on video making an unmistakable recruiting pitch for violent revolution. He uses the writings of Frantz Fanon, the anti-colonial intellectual favorite among radicals on campuses across the United States, to explain why someone becomes “liberated” when they pick up a gun. His purpose in teaching is to instill that idea in the students before him.

If you have questions as to the extent of the decay in American higher education, paid subscribers may review our archives for answers.

He is not limited to abstract concepts. He relates them directly to contemporary events. He frames the October 7th attack by Hamas against over 1200 Israeli civilian lives as a “historic decisive blow,” and frames both Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolution as misunderstood acts of resistance. Anybody who views Hamas as a terrorist organization is nothing but a product of imperialist disinformation, according to his teachings.

Therefore, what does he encourage students to do?

“We need to smash the U.S. settler-state,” he says matter-of-factly. Smash it. Not reform it. Not protest peacefully. Smash it. He tells his students and colleagues that they need to disrupt “the flow of arms to Zionists,” take a stand with “armed resistance,” and sacrifice themselves if necessary. He even states that the University of Virginia remains “a plantation” and admits that he has made an effort to try to “run down the wheels” on using the school’s institutional assets as long as possible.

His classes have been reported to his administration for their content. He responds with a shrug. He knows what kind of work he is doing. He intends to continue doing it. If getting fired would confirm that he is truly a guerrilla scholar, then that would only prove what he already knows.

What does it indicate about American Universities that he still has a job?

This is the logical conclusion of decades of ideologically driven capture in higher education. It did not occur suddenly. It occurred through a series of faculty hires, curriculum changes, development of Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) offices, and radical pedagogy conferences — until the institution became an instrument of promoting the same ideology that it was intended to critically evaluate. The professor is also a member of a Faculty for Justice in Palestine chapter and openly promotes spreading this course material into other professors’ classrooms across the nation.

Campus First Amendment groups will claim this is simply one professor, or one video, or just one extreme example. They have said this for thirty years, while simultaneously allowing the extreme example become mainstream. Right now the anomaly is not the guerrilla scholar advocating for violent revolution. The anomaly is the professor who believes his role is to educate students on how to think rather than what to think.

Parents are taking out second mortgages so that their children graduate from college and are convinced that grabbing a firearm constitutes liberation. College graduates leave with $100K+ in student loan debt and believe their home country, which they pay taxes on, is a settler colony worthy of violent rebellion. The University promised students that they would learn critical thinking skills and instead provided students with radicalized indoctrination that included a degree upon graduation.

The professor concludes his comments stating that we are living in a historic moment — one where the question of violently overthrowing the world-wide imperialist system is being taken seriously for the first time ever. He is right — there is something major happening. However, the significance of this event is not what he believes it to be. More and more families are viewing what colleges offer for their financial investment and deciding it is not worth it.

The guerrilla scholar is running down the wheels on the institution. It appears that many people outside the institutions are perfectly happy watching that happen.

Texas launched its new Education Freedom Accounts program earlier this year. More than 274,000 families applied. There are only about 90,000 spots available.

That is not demand for a program. That is a revolt.

On the very first day alone, 43,000 applications came in.

Nearly three times more families want out than the state can currently afford to help.

The same school system that spent the last decade pushing DEI curricula, gender ideology, and diversity administrators while test scores collapsed just watched 274,000 families say, no thank you in writing.

John Taylor Gatto spent 30 years inside public education before writing that schools are designed to produce compliant citizens, not educated ones. Texas families just proved him right by overwhelming a $1 billion program on day one.

Connecticut is trying to stop parents from leaving. Texas is paying them to go.

The elites provide the excuses. Click on more ads. Eat trash. Skip the gym. Point to society. Stay small. Stay controlled.

It is designed to be a trap.

James Clear won’t play that game. In Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, he outlines a systematic plan for regaining control of your life, a fraction at a time. No inspirational fluff. No waiting for inspiration. Just the bare-bones mechanisms that allow ordinary humans to develop the discipline necessary to achieve results while everyone else is complaining.

Clear begins with a very simple yet brutal fact: you do not grow to the level of your goals — you drop to the level of your systems. A large percentage of America is stuck in their lives because their everyday habits are being shaped by Big Tech notifications, processed food marketing, and a cultural paradigm that rewards instant gratification over delayed reward. The elites benefit when you’re preoccupied, fat, broke, and scrolling rather than developing.

Atomic Habits turns that model around.

DISCOVER MORE

He reduces the four laws of behavioral change to: make it visible, make it appealing, make it effortless, make it rewarding. Want to read more books? Place the next book on your pillow each morning. Want to go to the gym? Lay out your workout gear the evening prior. Want to save money? Set up automatic transfers the moment your check hits your bank. Small changes. Huge compounding effects.

The math is unforgiving. If you improve by 1% each day, in a year you’ll be 37 times better off. If you decline by 1%, in the same time frame you’ll be almost useless.

Clear makes no bones about it — the majority of people opt for the decline because it feels good, and good feeling is the enemy of freedom.

The biggest hit comes from what he calls “identity”. You don’t build habits to get results. You build habits to create the type of person who achieves those results. Instead of saying “I am attempting to stop smoking”, start saying “I am not a smoker.” The words rewire your brain. The actions follow.

Clear pulls from biology, psychology, and neurology without making it a lecture. He demonstrates how cue, craving, response, reward loops drive everything from phone addiction to your morning coffee to procrastination. Once you understand the loop you’ve mastered yourself.

And to see how the same forces behind instant gratification are also the same forces behind big-government dependency, subscribe now for every raw expose on the war against self-sufficiency.

Liberty screams through every single page. Self-discipline is the greatest act of defiance against a culture that wants you weak and dependent. When you control your mornings, your money, your body, and your focus, you don’t need handouts, excuses, or saviors in Washington. You become a threat to the system — independent, capable, unbreakable.

Clear has no agenda for politics. There’s no need for him to. The message is clear: personal accountability translates to real power. Welfare states, victim narratives, non-stop distractions — they all flourish when people cannot support themselves.

Here are some specific tools he offers to give you the ability to fight back:

Habit Stacking: After I pour my coffee, I will mediate for two minutes.
Environment Design: Remove the apps that waste your time. Stock your pantry with real foods.
The Two-Minute Rule: Take any habit and shrink it down to something so trivial you can’t say no — and then scale up.
Tracking: Never miss twice. One bad day doesn’t destroy your momentum; two consecutive days do.

No magic. Only mechanical tools that work.

The book became a huge success because it works for everyone — athletes, entrepreneurs, parents, students, veterans, and anyone fed up with broken promises to themselves. Clear rebuilt his life after a devastating baseball injury nearly ended his life. He did not wait for a miracle. He developed atomic habits.

In an age where the culture celebrates victimization and the government promotes dependency, this book is quietly counter-culture. It reminds us that freedom is both personal and political. The individual who develops the discipline to control his habits has the ability to control his destiny.

The elites do not fear your vote as much as they fear your discipline.

Get Atomic Habits. Read it. Implement one of the four laws today. Observe the compounding effect that transforms small successes into a life that is beyond reach of the system.

Because once enough Americans are this strong, the entire game changes.

No more excuses. No more waiting. Only results.

Not kidding.

Democrats in Hartford drafted a bill requiring parents to notify child welfare agencies before pulling their kids from public school. Every homeschooling family automatically flagged to DCF. Guilty until proven innocent of wanting to teach your own child.

Parents showed up at 4 AM to testify against it. The backlash was so loud they had to rewrite the bill twice in one month.

The watered down version is still moving forward.

Meanwhile the same public schools these lawmakers are desperate to keep your kids locked inside are busy teaching gender ideology to third graders, hiring DEI administrators at six figure salaries, and graduating kids who can’t read at grade level.

They can’t run their own institutions. But they want to supervise yours.

John Taylor Gatto, New York State Teacher of the Year turned education dissident, put it plainly: “The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders.”

C.S. Lewis saw it coming too. In The Abolition of Man he warned that the modern educator’s real job was producing people who could be easily led, not people who could actually think.

Connecticut today. Your home tomorrow.

Even more insidious? They know that once children are successfully indoctrinated, undoing the damage isn’t easy. The bell can’t be un-rung.

That’s exactly what the woke trans mob is counting on. In classrooms, media, and other forums, our children get consistently targeted with gender ideology.

The latest culprit to join in? You guessed it…Netflix!

It’s Time to Cancel Your Subscription

Trans slop is consistently woven throughout Netflix’s children’s shows. These are animated feature programs DIRECTLY targeted to young audiences, not just media that adults tune in to.

Make no mistake about it…this streaming service knows exactly what it’s doing. Netflix is just hoping that parents will shrug it off or not pay close attention.

That’s the most fatal error we could make.

Children are innocent. We have a duty to protect them. Under no circumstances can they be weaponized as tools by the gender ideology mob.

First, they tried to force this slop into our kids’ classrooms. Then, they put trans stuff in “family friendly” ads that children would see.

Now, the powers that be are stuffing it in Netflix shows. “Non binary” this. “Transitioning” to that. Enough is enough. Netflix thinks they’ll get away with it…but they shouldn’t make a penny more from feeding this to our children.

The Propaganda is in Full Swing

For YEARS, Americans have been attacked for standing against gender ideology’s delusions.

We’re called “hateful” and “bigoted” for refusing to lie about biological realities. The same talking points are now used against parents who don’t want our kids ingesting trans slop via Netflix.

We’re supposed to believe it’s “loving” for kids to be told they can change their gender. We’re supposed to accept that putting disordered ideologies into children’s media is acceptable.

Not a chance!

Americans have to push back against this. We can’t let Netflix throw out these buzzwords to silence us. As we come under attack for sharing the truth…we should only be speaking louder and more frequently.

Many folks don’t know what Netflix is up to. They think it’s just an innocent streaming service for families to enjoy entertainment.

THAT is the lie Netflix is counting on.

Follow the Money

The truth about Netflix can be found by simply looking at their majority shareholders. At the top of the list? The Vanguard Group and BlackRock Inc.

Surprise, surprise! BOTH of these shareholders have long supported woke Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). These metrics, radical by nature, are often used to determine how sustainable, ethical, and risky a company seems.

ESG is a nightmare, though.

Using this as a barometer consistently hurts free market capitalism. ESG also forces woke ideologies into business investments while distorting financial markets.

The Vanguard Group and BlackRock Inc.? They love ESG. All things considered, it’s no wonder that Netflix, on their watch, is pushing woke trans slop.

It’s Not Just Netflix

Unfortunately, this company is not alone in trying to indoctrinate your kids with gender ideology. Many other media platforms have the same agenda…they’re just a little more covert about it.

Moving forward, parents must take action accordingly. This means keeping our heads on a SWIVEL. We have to be careful and stay aware of what our kids are watching.

It’s not safe to just hand them a tablet so they can “have fun.” Now, more than ever, we have to be vigilant, make sacrifices, and do whatever it takes to save the children.

They are calling this progress. They are calling this justice. They are calling this the “right” side of history.

I am calling it brain rot.

Dr. Gad Saad, an evolutionary psychologist and the man behind the wildly popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, delivers the goods in *THE PARASITIC MIND: HOW INFECTIOUS IDEAS ARE KILLING COMMON SENSE.* This is not a polite academic musings. This is a frontal attack on the irrational, anti-freedom ideologies which have hijacked our institutions and taken what was once rational debate and turned it into a hate crime.

Saad has coined the perfect term: IDEA PATHOGENS.

DISCOVER MORE

These are not simply harmless opinions. These are mental parasites that enter into your mind, take over your reasoning process, suppress opposition, and propagate themselves by punishing anybody who dares to question them. As with biological parasites, these toxic ideas manipulate those affected by them so that they reject reality, common sense, and even the most basic aspects of biology -- and then demand you cheer along with the madness, or face cancellation.

Where did this happen? In universities. What were once the temples of free thought have been converted into echo chambers of postmodern nonsense, victimhood cults, and ideologically forced conformity.

Safe spaces that coddle fragility rather than build resilience. Gender ideology that ignores chromosomes. Academic feminism that makes pathology of masculinity. Postmodernism that states truth is oppressive. Trans-activist policies that bully women and erase sex based rights. And, racism defined as anything that does not bow down to critical race theory.

Saad uses evolutionary psychology to demonstrate how these pathogens spread: they prey upon humans’ tribal instincts; they reward virtue signaling; and they punish critical thinking with social exile. Those afflicted with the disease do not debate -- they scream. They do not argue -- they dox. They do not persuade -- they silence.

And the Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome? That’s when people willfully turn a blind eye to what is apparent because acknowledging it would destroy their worldview, or cost them status.

LEARN MORE

As we’ve all witnessed it unfold before our eyes:

Children are indoctrinated, rather than educated. Corporations grovel to woke mobs. Media amplify the craziest voices while hiding evidence that contradicts the narrative. Freedom of speech -- the oxygen of liberty -- has been strangled under the guise of “harm,” and “inclusivity.”

Saad diagnoses the disease, he also prescribes the cure: courage. Courage to say what needs to be said, to demand debate, to refuse to self-censor. He provides his readers with the tools to think critically, skeptically, and to defend one’s own intellect against the parasites.

This book is a battle cry for anyone fed up with watching common sense get mugged in the streets.

And to obtain the complete arsenal of no-BS exposes on how these idea pathogens continue to infect every aspect of our society, subscribe to the platform for every uncensored deep dive they desperately want to keep buried.

Saad’s sarcasm cuts like a scalpel -- cutting, sharp, and deadly. He mocks the absurdities with no quarter given because absurdity deserves mocking. He supports each and every one of his claims with logic, science, and evolutionary understanding, demonstrating that these are not fringe rants, but a defense of reality itself.

The stakes could not be higher. When idea pathogens prevail, freedom loses. When reason dies, tyranny wins. When universities churn out compliant ideologues rather than independent thinkers, the republic crumbles from within.

We’ve already suffered the costs: broken families, destroyed careers, lost trust, and a culture that punishes honesty and rewards delusion.

Saad refuses to allow it to remain that way. He calls on us to reclaim our minds, to defend open discussion, and to starve the parasites by withholding our attention and compliance.

This is not about left vs right. This is about sanity vs madness. Truth vs lies. Liberty vs control.

*The Parasitic Mind* is the red pill we needed. It is funny, forceful, and terrifyingly accurate.

Get it today. Read it. Arm yourself. Then, speak up -- loud, proud, and without apology.

If we don’t kill these infectious ideas, they will kill everything we value.

Common sense is alive... barely. On life support.

Gad Saad gave us the defibrillator.

It’s time to shock the system back to life.

Lifetouch is one of the largest school picture companies in the U.S. They take pictures of millions of students annually, and they specialize in yearbook photos, portraits, and other school-related pics. They’ve been in operation for decades.

The company was acquired by Shutterfly in 2018. In 2019, Shutterfly, already in control of Lifetouch, was purchased by Apollo Global Management in a $2.7 billion deal. This is a private equity firm that doesn’t have direct involvement in Lifetouch’s daily operations, but

“That’s why I take my 11 year old to Drag Queen Shows - I want him to know it’s ok to have his Body played with”

These people are legit clinically insane & are even willing to sacrifice their own Children to the cause.

Let’s face facts…public schools are a mess. They’re laced with DEI. Teachers are cancelling class to grandstand at political riots.

None of this is sustainable.

Yet at every turn, teachers unions shamelessly resist school choice.

Union leaders send their own kids to private schools…but they want OUR kids warehoused in low quality classrooms from K to 12.

Thankfully, the school choice movement keeps gaining traction. Now, more than ever, both parents and non parents are seeing the light.

No child’s educational prospects should be limited by their zip code.

What’s truly powering this movement?

You guessed it…President Trump’s Education Freedom Scholarship Program, a nationwide school choice initiative!

Putting Children and Education First

This year, the Trump administration spearheaded an Educational Freedom Tax Credit.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, the president’s program makes school choice much more accessible to parents everywhere.

The first step is for states to voluntarily opt in. Once that happens, these states get rewarded with elite benefits.

Private funding for scholarships via federal tax credits.

Services that subsidize after school programs, technology, tutoring, and education for special needs kids.

You can’t beat that.

President Trump vowed to make America great again. This begins with giving parents a REAL say over where our kids go to learn.

Promises made, promises kept!

States Are Quickly Opting In

After years of fighting for school choice at the state level, this Education Freedom Scholarship Program is a GODSEND.

Parents can finally breathe again.

So far, nearly half of the nation has signed up. That includes not just red states like Florida and Texas, but also blue strongholds like Colorado and Virginia.

Getting on board should be a no brainer.

States that opt in secure more funding for summer educational initiatives, tutoring, and scholarships that benefit low income families.

Kids aren’t trapped in failing public schools anymore.

What’s not to like?

Right now, all eyes are on Vermont.

Will GOP Gov. Phil Scott join the bipartisan group of governors who’ve signed onto President Trump’s school choice program?

If he cares about his state and Vermont’s children, this will be an EASY yes.

Anti School Choice Zealots Are Losing It

Amid bipartisan momentum behind school choice, the academic establishment is freaking out.

Remember…these folks profit from keeping children in failing public classrooms.

They don’t want the gravy train to stop running. Teachers unions need the blood money to keep flowing.

THAT is why they’re spreading lies about the Education Freedom Scholarship Program.

Don’t be fooled. They all want us believing that nationwide access to school choice is “dangerous.”

Their latest propaganda? Trump’s initiative “hurts children” in public classrooms…

Here’s the reality… these kids have BEEN hurting…President Trump’s program just gives them easy access to solutions.

In 2026, anti school choice zealots know their time is up. They know they’ve failed our kids, setting them back years.

The party is OVER.

Their false claims about “discrimination” and “lack of oversight” will not prevail.

All 50 States Must Opt Into President Trump’s School Choice Initiative

It’s not enough for “some” states to embrace school choice.

We need ALL hands on deck.

The sooner this happens, the sooner children will be liberated from dangerous teachers unions.

They had their chance to improve education. Yet time after time, they failed…then rubbed it in our faces.

Enough is enough.

If you’re in a state that hasn’t joined the Education Freedom Scholarship Program, it’s time to take action.

Call your governor’s constituent services office.

Let them know why school choice is so critical.

The sooner every state gets on board, the faster we can advance education, setting our kids up for SUCCESS.

Defant states, “I can recall several staff meetings where we were trained and shown how we could hide information from parents. . . We were changing pronouns, we were changing gender, and hiding that information.”

Is this an isolated experience, or is Defant exposing an inherent risk parents need to be aware of that’s taking over our school system at large?

This Teacher Isn’t Alone

Defant isn’t the only one sounding the alarm bell. Others are making similar claims about schools hiding their grooming practices and ideological indoctrination happening behind parents’ backs.

Ryan Higgens, a conservative commentator on X says that schools “groom kids” by turning them into “woke warriors” that break down nuclear family structures and parental roles, while failing at giving them a usable education.

Higgins agrees with Defant, and says schools’ claims that they aren’t grooming is a lie.

Tom Sowell has said it straight up; welfare and all other government handouts don’t help people get out of poverty -- they lock them into it.

If you fail at anything, money will flow your way. If you succeed slightly (even though that is impossible), the money will be ripped from your pockets faster than a politician can dodge a difficult question.

It is no accident. It is the plan. The system is designed to create dependency by rewarding people for being poor.

When you receive a raise, the money you receive is taken away. When you obtain a steady income, the “benefits” you were receiving will disappear. What incentive is there to continue working when sitting at home and collecting a check is better?

This is not an act of kindness. It is a trap designed by those who need a perpetual class of voters dependent upon the government for support.

The effects of the government’s scheme go far beyond the family unit. Look at what they’ve done to our schools. Schools perform poorly? Give them a large sum of tax payer money to “solve” the problems they caused. However, give a school high grades and produce students who can stand on their own two feet? Funding will be reduced. Success is penalized. Mediocrity is rewarded. That is pure insanity. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the graduation rates of students over the last few decades have decreased in intelligence and increased in dependence on the government.

Our expectations have become distorted to an extreme degree. Many people today expect to live a lifestyle that their grandparents would consider a luxury solely based on the fact that the government is providing them with financial support to achieve the illusion of that lifestyle. Sowell witnessed it first-hand during his time at the Center for Advanced Study. He received the same pay as a full UCLA professor, however he worked zero hours per week, had zero duties, taught zero classes. Why continue to work a real job when the system provides you with the same amount of money regardless of whether you do anything or not? Eliminate these types of subsidies and observe how quickly the priorities of individuals will shift.

However, the full extent of how this scam is designed to keep you chained to the government forever is one of the most important secrets that the elite do not want to reveal to average Americans such as you and I. By becoming a paid subscriber, you gain access to the entire blog’s content which reveals each of the dirty secrets that they do not want you to know.

Eliminate welfare immediately and what happens? The sky doesn’t fall. Sowell states it clearly: people find jobs. The statistics show that women in particular increase their participation in the labor force through real employment programs. Of course, many families encounter an immediate obstacle with regards to child care. However, here is the key point: rather than allowing families to resolve it themselves through higher incomes or community-based resources, the federal government jumps in and offers another layer of subsidies. More “programs” that claim to empower the woman by making her a taxpayer, yet quietly maintain her tied to the same corrupt system. This is not empowerment. This is merely dependency dressed up in a different coat.

Who benefits from this?

Not the struggling families. Not the children who learn from their parents’ examples of learned helplessness. The actual beneficiaries of this scam are the bureaucrats, consultants, and politicians who rely on a dependent electorate. They proclaim “equity,” yet structure the game so that failure is the safest option. Sarcastic? Not nearly enough. This is a prime example of the tyranny of big government at its most cynical -- exploiting human nature in order to increase its own power.

Critics love to argue that Sowell “begins in the middle.” As if poverty and unemployment are a predetermined fate, completely independent of the incentives created by the government. Give me a break. That is the same weak argument that every advocate for the status quo makes whenever the data becomes uncomfortable. Welfare did not exist to lift people out of a predetermined fate. Welfare created the very dependency it claims to remedy. Remove the perverse incentives for remaining down and observe how ambition responds in a free society: it soars.

Consider the single mother living on government assistance today. For every hour she works, there is a risk of losing food stamps, housing assistance, medical coverage. The arithmetic clearly states “do not try.” At the same time, her children learn a lesson: effort is not rewarded, the system is. Multiply that across tens of millions of families and you do not have a safety net, you have a multi-generational underclass that is perfectly happy to vote for more of the same. That is not compassion. That is calculated manipulation.

In the past, the U.S. relied on a formula of free markets and individual accountability. Work hard, take risks, and reward yourself. Now, the government’s solution is to eliminate risk and provide rewards for doing nothing. No wonder self-reliance appears to be a relic of the past.

Question time: How long will we continue to pretend that this broken system is inviolable? Each and every study, each and every empirical observation, each and every honest economist like Sowell demonstrates the exact same pattern. Entitlements inflate expectations, destroy initiative, and generate anger. And yet, the elites continue to double-down on this failed system and call anyone who recognizes this “heartless.”

Heartless is continuing to allow people to deteriorate in poverty created by government policies while congratulating yourselves for another massive spending bill.

The daycare trap is an excellent example of the infinite loop that the government has created. Woman obtains a job - great! But now she requires care for the children. Can’t afford private care? No worries, here is another federal program to assist. And, just like that, the federal program comes with its own set of rules, its own bureaucracy, its own means of preventing her from truly advancing. This is not a ladder out. It is a hamster wheel designed by those who have never had to run on it.

Immigrants came to America with nothing but determination and created the greatest nation in the world. Today? We tell people that the system is rigged, the system owes them, and that failure is somebody else’s fault. Then we are shocked that dependency increases exponentially. Sowell’s analysis is harsh because it is accurate: we are paying people to remain where they are, generation after generation.

Envision the explosion of real opportunities if we ceased to pay people to fail. Jobs will open. Families will adjust. Communities will rebuild without the burden of endless programs. Children will see parents demonstrating work ethic rather than waiting for the mailman to arrive. That is not theory - that is history. Anytime the government has removed itself from the equation and allowed people to retain what they earn, prosperity follows. Anytime the government expands the welfare system, stagnation and resentment follow.

The elites despise this discussion because it jeopardizes their power base. They require a dependent class of citizens to be angry, entitled, and voting the correct way. Sowell poses a threat to this entire racket by merely stating the obvious: incentives matter. Human beings react to them. Provide incentives for failure and you will get more of it. Penalize success and you will get less of it. Simple economics. However, in Washington D.C., it is treated as heretical.

Therefore, when the next group of “anti-poverty” spending bills are introduced onto the House floor, remember Sowell’s words. This is not help. This is a scam. A government scam that pays Americans to fail while the true producers of wealth fund this failed system. The only method to escape this scam is to terminate the subsidies, restore the incentives, and allow people to rediscover the pride of earning their own way.

For how much longer are we going to permit this machine to operate? The response begins with eliminating the myth that dependency is equivalent to compassion. True compassion frees people -- not maintains them on the dole.

Why is that?

It appears white liberal women have main character syndrome. If things don’t go their way, they cause a scene, ensuring everyone notices.

The childlike behavior is a symptom of feminism and also the solipsism of our modern era.

Democrats are Fueling the Psychosis

Democrats have convinced white liberal women that they deserve the sun, the moon, and the stars. Anything less is justification for a public tantrum.

A tantrum that is all too often broadcast on social media for the world to see.

Notice how infrequently we see conservative men broadcasting meltdowns on the socials?

It’s because conservatives tend to internalize frustration while liberal women lash out at others.

The cause?

Leftist politics play a part in the psychosis of liberal women. The Dems have ramped up the rhetoric, encouraging white liberal women to air out their problems in front of everyone.

The indoctrination begins at a young age when daughters are spoiled by their parents. Young girls are often taught they are princesses who can do no wrong.

The result?

A superiority complex and lifelong entitlement. If a single thing doesn’t go the white liberal woman’s way, she’ll throw a fit.

It is a complete rebellion against Big Tech — a completely researched, graphic-novel-styled rebellion guide, written to 9- to 12-year-old tweens to help them say “no” to Big Tech and “yes” to true adventure, true friends and true happiness.

This book sets the stage well: Big Tech executives are greedy wizards who create magical stones (i.e., smartphones), promising friendship, freedom and fun but delivering loneliness, comparison, and endless screen-watching. Kids are not victims — they are rebels who can break the wizard’s magic.

Haidt and Price include harsh realities that the executives at Silicon Valley do not want you to know: How apps are designed to hijack the brain chemistry of young people for addiction; How “free” means you’re the product being sold; How streaks and notifications manipulate the dopamine of young people like slot machines. They reveal the secrets: The tech leaders know the harm — cyber-bullying, body image crises, an explosion in youth anxiety and depression — and continue to develop products that encourage kids to remain addicted because revenue increases when kids are glued to their screens.

No blame on the kids. Only the facts.

The book combines the facts with a graphic-novel storyline that tells a fictional story of what kids experience every day — and the interactive challenges, shocking statistics, and stories of young adults who received a phone too soon and now wish they had waited, spent more time playing outside, and formed stronger relationships rather than chasing likes.

It is an optimistic fire: Life without screens is not boring — it is epic. More play, more self-confidence, more victories in the world. Kids learn to use technology as a tool, not as a master. Remove the soul-stealing apps. Establish limits. Go outside. Develop the same resilience through traditional methods.

The hypocrisy screams: Adults lecture on finding a balance while they scroll through their doom-filled feeds. Schools provide students with devices as if they are essential, while students’ attention span and mental health crumble. Parents give in to peer pressure (“everybody has one”) and give the keys to the wizards. Meanwhile, girls are exposed to increased levels of anxiety due to social comparisons and boys find themselves lost in an infinite loop of video games. Haidt’s research supports it: the transition from play to screen based childhood rewired an entire generation into the anxious one.

This book turns the tables. It gives kids the power to make decisions. Be the rebel. Choose the real thing. Fill your life with true friendship, true freedom and true enjoyment — the good stuff, not the filtered stuff.

Read it with the kids, parents, teachers, grandparents — start the conversation. See the look of excitement when they realize they can live a life that is free from the control of algorithms.

SAVE THE CHILDREN

The elite does not like kids having the ability to make their own decisions. They benefit from dependency. They sell digital native myths while kids deal with the consequences: Depression skyrockets, suicidal thoughts increase, social skills deteriorate.

Haidt will not allow it to stand. He provides kids with the tools: Facts, Stories, Strategies and Mindset to Fight Back.

This is not doom and gloom. This is a call to greatness. Be part of the Amazing Generation — Confident, Adventurous, Unbreakable — by Refusing to be Controlled and Embracing the True Thing.

The wizards want your silence. Do not give it to them.

Get *The Amazing Generation* today. Give it to a tween. See the Rebellion Start. When kids figure out the scam, everything changes.

True freedom is not in the cloud. It is out here — in the dirt, the laughter, the unfiltered moments.

Haidt gave them the map. Now it is their turn to take charge.

Here’s the short take: puberty blockers were never reversible, and they cause immense damage to the human form as a whole, whether you’re a man or a woman.

Far into your lifespan, the damage can be observed. In a recent post re-shared by the Redheaded Libertarian, we can see the sad evidence of a 21-year-old girl who experienced jaw deterioration, and her teeth started to lose their enamel and fall out.

She couldn’t figure out why her body was falling apart until she found out that puberty-blocking drugs like the one she took caused all the damage.

Puberty Blockers Cause Bone Loss and Other Maladies

Whether you’re a boy who wants to be a woman or a girl who wants to be a man, you’d probably still want your bones to function. So let’s put aside any moral stance on transitioning for now, and just look at the long-term effects of some of the most common puberty blockers:

Lupron, also known as leuprolide, is a GnRH agonist. It’s commonly used as a puberty blocker for “gender-affirming care” for transgender youth.

It suppresses puberty by reducing sex hormone levels, but peer-reviewed science shows that it also has serious long-term risks, particularly for bone health.

Evidence strongly supports that puberty blocking drugs likely cause bone mineral density (BMD) loss and increased fracture risk, which can persist for your entire life.

This woman’s 6 year old son “expressed conservative values” in his classroom

The teacher created a certificate for him that said “Most likely to become a Dictator” and presented it to him in front of his entire class while classmates called him a “Naziphile”

The indoctrination taking place in our education system is a national emergency

Sounds insane, doesn’t it?

It’s actually a description of our reality.

The twist?

The free and highly addictive poison isn’t in liquid form.

Rather, the poison takes digital form. Social media is a no-cost, highly addictive threat to mental health that has yet to be regulated.

TikTok is Instagram on Steroids

Much has been made of neural scan results revealing the brain activity of those who watch TV. The brain scans of those watching TV reveals neural activity similar to those who are sleeping.

It turns out that social media is even worse. Instead of putting viewers into a sleep state as occurs when watching TV, social media makes them ill.

Mentally ill, that is.

The worst culprit among the socials?

TikTok. To the surprise of many, TikTok worsens mental health more than Instagram.

How bad is it?

TikTok users are depressed and in some cases, suicidal. Most were aware that Instagram use leads to lessened confidence and poor self-image.

However, few are aware of the damage caused by TikTok. To find the truth, one must analyze the data.

A recent analysis of more than 44,000 daily adolescent diaries across 100 days determined 60% suffered consistently negative outcomes after using social media.

The conclusion?

Social media contributes to or directly causes mental health problems.

To be more specific, the data highlights the especially negative impact of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

The good news?

The data reveals Snapchat and WhatsApp have no impact, and in some cases, a slight positive impact on mental health.

🚨 The indoctrination in our education system is so much worse than we realize

Survey reveals 70% of High School students are taught America is a racist country with 40% having their teachers reinforce this statement daily

“3 weeks ago, the Journal Education Next released a national survey of high school students asking what messages they have heard from teachers over the last 4 years. Stunningly, 70% of high school students report that their teachers say that, quote, ‘America is a fundamentally racist nation,’ end quote. With nearly 40% of students say they hear that message often or almost daily”

“What happens to a nation when its schools express to its students such disdain and selective memory of its own country?”

The worst of all? This idea that certain folks, namely the scientists and “experts,” are above reproach.

We saw this during COVID.

Anyone who raised questions about “the science” landed on the receiving end of ridicule, scorn, and government pushback.

But in 2026, science doesn’t yield cut and dry answers…in fact, it never did.

From the inception of scientific study, it was ALWAYS about asking questions and exploring possibilities.

No one said this would be easy.

With that in mind, academics who study science shouldn’t take offense when they face inquiries or even disagreements.

In fact, the best scientists of all are those who conduct themselves with humility.

Friedrich Hayek Described This Perfectly

The late Austrian economist had an excellent grasp on why humility is so important…especially for anyone who considers themselves a scientist.

According to Hayek, academics with limited knowledge lack the modesty that tried and true scientists possess.

That’s worth pondering.

The late economist didn’t stop there, either. Hayek also stressed how the best scientists among us understand one important reality… everything in life isn’t always easy to explain.

Unfortunately, this train of thought is on life support, especially among today’s academic elites.

Far too many have a problematic God complex.

Rather than conducting themselves with humility, today’s scientists hold an attitude of “how dare you question me?!”

They could learn a thing or two from Friedrich Hayek.

Today’s Scientists Lack True Depth

In 2026, many of “the experts” we’re supposed to look up to aren’t as credible as they pretend to be.

Over the past several years, one crucial detail has become quite apparent…most of these “scientists” study in very SUPERFICIAL ways.

They settle for partial answers.

They underestimate nature’s considerable complexity.

They don’t handle pushback well.

None of this is good for American society. Our scientists should follow in Hayek’s footsteps and admit they DON’T truly have all the answers.

When ego replaces humility, when greed replaces integrity, everyone is worse off for it.

This is a Major Issue For Science Journalists

There are many words to describe today’s mainstream science journalists.

“Humble” is unfortunately NOT one of them.

As we speak, science journalists are infamous for promoting oversimplified narratives and making broad claims without evidence.

Case in point? Presenting woke gender ideology as a facet of “brain sex,” despite the lack of supportive evidence.

This isn’t harmless.

In fact, it’s gotten children brainwashed in classrooms and MUTILIATED in doctors’ offices.

While science journalists line their pockets by repeating establishment narratives, they do a major disservice to everyday Americans.

Enough is enough!

As Hayek would attest to, the BEST marker of a credible scientist is admitting when certain claims lack conclusive evidence.

Today? Far too many academics have veered away from this.

It’s Time to End Pseudoscience

Moving forward, those who purport to study actual science must conduct themselves honestly and humbly.

That means adhering to evidentiary guidelines before making sweeping claims about any given subject.

It also means pushing back against hacks who weaponize “science” as a Trojan horse for woke political agendas.

These changes aren’t optional.

Until academics take action en masse, Americans will RIGHTFULLY raise questions about the scientific community’s findings.

We can’t just take what they say at face value.

Remember…at the height of COVID, we ALL saw just how dangerous pseudoscience truly is.

Only with time and consistency can it be fully dismantled.

As 2026 continues, actual scientists have a duty to operate with integrity…even when that doesn’t produce fast, smooth, or politically convenient answers.

Only then will the academic and scientific communities begin to repair their reputations.
