(Don't) Go Vote!
|
Liberals have built their current party on wide-sweeping “get out the vote” efforts for the past two decades. Even before social media became our main mode of communication, I remember concerted efforts to get young people to vote through local events, TV commercials, or blogging and email campaigns. I caught onto the game pretty quickly. Liberals thought that if they could simply get enough young, uneducated, illogical people to vote, they would win. They bet on the odds that if they could get someone under age 30 to vote, they would vote blue. If these young voters are already brainwashed by public education and progressive colleges and are now young adults who can be easily manipulated by emotional social media messaging, the Democrats could build a party with a high volume of voters with very little intelligence on true political issues. As a conservative, I will rarely admonish people to “go vote.” No, thank you. As I’ve been trying to encourage people to vote and vote early, this election, I’ve had to think through who I want to target, so I don’t accidentally send Kamala voters to the polls.
But if you don’t fall into these categories, I actually don’t care if you vote. Because I want people to head to the polls because they share the same values that I do. I am voting... ~ To maintain my First Amendment rights to speak freely and worship God. ~ To stop any momentum toward the federal legalization of abortion ~ To protect my four beautiful daughters by keeping them safe in bathrooms and locker rooms and maybe even giving them a chance to grow up playing sports like I did ~ To close the border, even just an inch ~ To stop sending money abroad so we can afford life at home They say it’s not about who you vote for, it’s what you vote for. But if you can’t figure out the difference between who wants you to be free and who only wants you to be free to kill your own child, you probably shouldn't vote. Please stay home.

Hi! I'm Jen.

Last week, I wrote about the history of Title IX, and why I think it’s time to challenge the law as it currently stands. But I am going to press a bit further with this specific audience, and I hope you can handle it. If anything, I’ll lose some subscribers, and I can save some money on hosting my newsletter. Let me posit a new idea: What if Title IX was wrong from the start? What if Title IX is one of feminism’s chokeholds on our society, costing us far more than anything we’ve gained from...
Title IX was enacted in 1972 as an effort to create more educational opportunities for women. The main text of Title IX, before decades of amendments, additions, and Supreme Court cases, simply says this: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." First of all, let's acknowledge that plenty of bad laws...
Yesterday, I wrote about how all of us need to examine our own hypocrisy when we cheer for girls invading men’s groups and spaces, while acting surprised and horrified when males do the same. So let’s talk for a moment about what really happens when women invade men’s sports. We’ll start with the example of Sophie Cunningham subbing as a kicker on the football team at her high school. Imagine Sophie steps up for an extra-point attempt, and the defense sees (or knows) that she is a girl. How...
