The sad state of affairs is that our culture doesn't give a damn about children. We treat our children like political props to pass legislation, like meal tickets to get more welfare money from the government, like a "clump of cells," or racehorses hoping they make it big.

If France wants the statue back, and they're willing to pay to take it back, they can have it. I won't lose a minute of sleep if the Statue of Liberty no longer overlooks the New York Harbor. But giving Lady Liberty back to France should be Option B.

Then what is Option A?

The primary focus should be on maintaining the integrity of American ethics rather than simply accommodating an ally. If Florida's investigation determines that Andrew and Tristan were involved in any wrongdoing, it is in our best interest that they be held accountable.

Bill Burr is correct about one thing—we should stop using outdated terms like liberal and conservative to divide us. But let's be honest here. Division is inevitable. The question should be, what's dividing us?

Illinois is no stranger to political drama. The latest soap opera features the ongoing rift between Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who is eyeing a run for The White House. But just like the streets on Wacker Drive, Pritzker's road to becoming the Democrat nominee in 2028 is filled with potholes that Johnson won't fix.

What many Dolton residents now turned Tiffany Henyard critics don't realize is she is a Frankenstein of the liberal political machine they enabled for decades.

As Donald Trump reenters The White House for his second term, many factions will fall from power and influence. One of them will be the manosphere. The return of Donald Trump means the rise of tradcons and the inevitable fall of the manosphere.

Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are a threat to upend the corporate bureaucratic status quo in America. The corrupted powers that be tried to smear Trump's name and reputation, drain his wealth via frivolous lawsuits, put him in jail, and put a bullet in his head. They might leverage diversity to tear MAGA apart from the inside out.

It's a pattern as old as time. Progressives figure out what they hate and try to tear it down, marching forward aimlessly in the name of "progress," trampling traditional norms. It is the opposite of conservatism. Conservatives know how to build beautiful things that can weather the test of time. We figure out what we love and conserve its beauty and prestige. That is my concern with Turning Point USA's AmericaFest and the overall future of the MAGA movement.

Thirty years ago, we had a better understanding of what justice is. Justice requires retribution. Criminals must pay for their actions. Murderers must pay for the blood they spill.
