Undermining the Family
As the culture war continues to heat up in Canada with the London Public Library cancelling a talk on free speech, what does the future look like as woke ideology continues to invade every aspect of public life?
Joanna Williams, author of “How Woke Won,” which examines how woke ideology has taken over politics and academia, was barred from speaking at London Public Library due to concerns raised by staff about potential “workplace harassment” and the “possibility of physical harm.”

Read MoreTarget is selling a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit as part of its massive pride collection, which has already made waves for its overt marketing to children.
Target released its latest “pride” collection ahead of what secular society has deemed “pride” month, taking place in June. The far-left uses the artificial designation of the month to further radical gender ideology, which teaches that biology does not matter and gender does not correspond with an individual’s biological sex, leading to the further erasure of women.
The pride section, routinely placed toward the front of the department stores, features items for not just adults, but children as well. And this year, Target is rolling out a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit designed to help biological men “tuck” their genitals away to appear more feminine.

Read MoreWhile transgenders in India are considered the third gender, the ad is not about that community at all. It depicts the woke idea of transgenderism from the West, where anyone can identify themselves as transgender and undergo medical procedures and therapies to change their sex. While the concept is slowly entering India and making its presence in different sectors despite facing strong opposition, it has sparked outrage to a whole different level in the West.
Starbuck’s attempt to promote transgenderism in India has resulted in a backlash against the Tata-owned Indian branch of the beverage company. Daily Wire editor and author Ben Shapiro wrote, “Good news: we now have an excuse for you to stop drinking coffee that tastes like burnt cardboard.”

Read MoreRiley Gaines, a former top college athlete, called on Congress on Wednesday to pass the “Women’s Bill of Rights,” which would clarify that the term “woman” is based on biology rather than personal identity when it appears in federal law.
The bill, led by Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) and cosponsored by about two dozen other Republicans, would codify the meanings of several of these sex-based terms, including “sex,” “woman,” “man,” “girl,” “boy,” “mother,” and “father.”
“This is crucial to ensure that women, we’re entitled to our privacy and our safety and our fairness and our equal opportunity,” Gaines said, adding, “I’m speaking for so much more than just myself.”

Read MoreWASHINGTON, D.C (LifeSiteNews) — Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray should be impeached for the agency’s role in targeting pro-lifers and Latin Mass Catholics, according to a resolution set to be introduced by Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“Under Wray’s watch, the FBI has intimidated, harassed, and entrapped American citizens that have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime. As such, Director Wray has turned the FBI into Joe Biden and Merrick Garland’s personal police force,” the resolution, first obtained by The Daily Caller, states. “The Soviet-style tactics used by the FBI against normal Americans are unprecedented in this country. FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle told congressional investigators that the FBI created a terrorist threat tag following the Dobbs Supreme Court decision in 2022.”
