Motherhood Is Under Attack—and the Media Is Leading the Charge, by Isabel Brown

By Isabel Brown, The Daily Signal - If there’s one thing the corporate media hates more than tradition, it’s motherhood... We’ve seen it time and again, from the glossy magazine covers glorifying “child-free” living to the snide late-night jokes about “breeders” and “stay-at-home moms.” It’s no longer subtle. The war on motherhood is loud, proud, and broadcast 24/7 across every major platform. And make no mistake—this isn’t just about personal choice. It’s a coordinated cultural campaign to devalue perhaps women’s most essential role: being a mother.

Discerning the Movie “Independence Day,” 28 Years Later (and on things aging well), by Peter Wolfgang

Was Top Gun: Maverick softening us up for Operation Midnight Hammer?... Again, I know it sounds crazy. But are pop culture psy-ops by our national security apparatus really that unfathomable?

The delightful sounds arose from 60 people, both parishioners and religious: the Sister Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará and seminarians from the Institute of the Incarnate Word. Prayer, song, food and friendship marked the evening. I am hard-pressed to conceive of a better way to have spent the first weekend in our new home.

The Influencer Illusion: Reclaiming Relationship in a Culture of Curated Connection, by Greg Schlueter

By Greg Schlueter, Crisis Magazine - Influencer culture has captured the hearts and minds of our youth—and if we are not watchful, it could capture their souls as well... It began, as it often does, with a teacher’s question... “What do you want to be when you grow up?”... The responses, once peppered with dreams of firefighting, flying, and healing, have given way to a new, disconcerting consensus. The overwhelming answer: “A Social Media Influencer.” ...
