Years ago, I had a conversation with a woman about affirmative action and how it disadvantages Asian students. She paused for a moment and thought delicately about her words, “Well, I know if it was my child, I’d want them to have an advantage.”
My simple reply: “That’s because your daughter would be black.”
But what if your child wasn’t? Do Asian mothers love their children any less? Should they not at least fight for equal opportunity?
Read MoreThe abolition movement was resilient. It faced setbacks and had long battles, certainly not unique to America. Abolition giants like William Wilberforce had tremendous struggles, yet he would not concede his fight either. As Pastor John Newton reminded him, like Queen Esther, Wilberforce was called for such a time as this, and so are you.
Read MoreI love my country. I do, but we are not living up to the promises the founders fought for. We weren’t in 1852, and we aren’t today. But we are capable of doing better. We are a land of opportunity, upward mobility, kindness, and perseverance. We can be a nation that chooses to sacrifice for others rather than sacrificing others for self. Many thought the overturning of Roe v Wade would never happen within their lifetime, yet it has perished.
Read MoreMy mother taught us to play with one another, to work with one another, and to pray with and for one another. She already prepared us to endure difficult moments like these. My mother is a rare ruby, indeed, the type of woman that you read about in Proverbs 31.
It feels like she’s perpetuating an unsolvable problem with no personal cost beyond the breath required to virtue signal. That’s largely the issue with racial grifters. It’s always the system’s fault.
What has happened to our City over the past ten years? What has happened to law and order, to the neighborhood cop we all trusted to safeguard our homes and families, the cop who had the power under the law to help us in times of danger, keep us safe from those who would prey on innocent lives to fulfill some distorted inner need.
Some psychopaths are determined to hurt people, and the authorities have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. If that sick individual sees weakness in our defenses, they will hurt the innocent. That is the “fact of life” Vance was referring to.
In other words, Harris was hoping ABC would bail her out. It’s not their fault that she’s “fundamentally disadvantaged,” while going up against Donald Trump. It’s not ABC’s responsibility to try and close the gap with hot mics, and notes, or to sit them down so Trump doesn’t tower over her.
The Gold Star families who lost loved ones three years ago at the bombing of Abbey Gate in Afghanistan have been mum about their criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, but all that changed when she criticized a memorial at Arlington cemetery where former President Donald Trump attended.
Now, General John Kelly, who was acting as the White House Chief of Staff, has come out and confirmed the article. So, how is it possible that The Atlantic could create such a fantastical story about Trump’s true motivations in Paris when—according to John Bolton—Kelly was the one who told Trump they should not go to the cemetery?
If you want a president who doesn’t have the courage to defend her policies, who has backstabbed those in front of her to get ahead, demonstrated a desire to throw your liberties out the window, and is openly marching the land of the free toward a communistic agenda, I suppose we will get what we deserve.
But I’m not going to be proud of that just because she has brown skin and a vagina, especially when she thinks a man in a wig and a dress with an imagination also qualifies as a woman.
The purpose of the Thomson's essay is to prove a principle: “Having a right to life does not guarantee having either a right to be given the use of or a right to be allowed continued use of another person’s body—even if one needs it for life itself.”
The problem with the violinist scenario is that the fantastical premise is not grounded in reality.

“She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story.” After reading this CNN headline, would you guess that Amari Marsh went through early labor—likely due to her chlamydia infection—and was charged because she didn’t remove her live child from the toilet after 911 dispatchers told her to? Probably not.
