A Cardus Educational Survey (CES) has discovered that homeschooled children outperformed their non-homeschooled peers on various psychosocial issues. Between 2019 and 2021, school enrolment declined by 2.1 million while homeschooling increased by 30%.

The trend was largely influenced by the pandemic when homeschooling was mandatory. However, many parents continued to teach their children at home even after physical classes resumed.

The CES report that studied adults between adults 24 to 39 years old analyzed economic, mental health, civic, spiritual, and family formation among homeschooled and non-homeschooled individuals. 

It categorized the subjects into short-term homeschoolers (1-2 years of homeschooling), medium-term homeschoolers (3-7 years), and long-term homeschoolers (over 8 years). The individuals attended traditional public schools, Catholic schools, Protestant schools, nonreligious independent schools, or were homeschooled.

One key finding was that homeschooled adults exhibited better mental health than their non-homeschooled peers amid the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis affecting teens and young adults.

The report found that long-term homeschoolers had the highest levels of optimism, gratitude, and life satisfaction. They were also the least likely to “feel helpless dealing with life’s problems” or report depression and anxiety symptoms.

Similarly, short-term and long-term homeschoolers were more likely to volunteer and give to charity in the last 12 months compared to medium-term homeschoolers or those who were never homeschooled. 

Homeschooled individuals also reported higher rates of belief in God and participation in religious activities compared to non-homeschoolers. The rate of religiosity was proportional to the number of years spent homeschooling. 

“The prevalence of religious belief and practice increased with the number of years spent in the homeschool sector,” the study stated.

This is hardly surprising considering that the education system is highly anti-religious while allowing other negative ideologies to thrive within the learning environment.

Long-term homeschoolers were also more likely to be married, have more children on average, and had the lowest divorce rates. The study did not attribute this finding to any ideology but the school system has been pushing anti-family ideologies such as feminism and LGBTQ+, which greatly undermine family formation.

Given the diverse nature of the study subjects, it is likely that these results are more nuanced than reported. If the study isolated individuals who attended public schools, where woke culture thrives, vs homeschooled individuals, the results would likely be groundbreaking. Many religious and private schools still instill conservative values and are free of the woke culture that plagues public schools, thus potentially neutralizing its effect.

Another concerning finding of the CES survey was that homeschooled individuals were less likely to be full-time employed compared to those who physically attended school. Given their tendency to have more children on average, getting married, and being less likely to be divorced, it was likely that some were stay-at-home parents taking care of their families. 

Likely, their decision to take care of their children instead of pursuing a career resulted in better mental health outcomes for themselves and their children. No amount of financial success can substitute for good mental health and a nice family when the “achievers” live in a perpetual state of mental anguish, anxiety, helplessness, and silent desperation.

As the study indicated, long-term homeschooled individuals had better mental health, were happier, more grateful, and were the least likely to feel helpless, and contributed more towards charity. 

While the short-term financial gains might be appealing, they are costly in the long due to depopulation which is an existential threat. The mental health crisis also requires more funds to address, resulting in the loss of otherwise productive members of society through depression and suicide. Likely, that is why nearly 60% of all “gun crimes” in the US are suicides instead of accidental shootings or homicides.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee member Nancy Mace (R-SC) has revealed that the Biden administration spent over $10 million to alter nature by creating transgender animals.

“Late last year the White Coat Waste Project exposed that more than 10 million dollars in taxpayer funds were spent creating transgender mice, rats, and monkeys.”

These sick experiments serve no purpose other than advancing the harmful ideology while torturing innocent animals. While animals are regularly used in medical research, their suffering is for the good of humanity, and they are only used when necessary. 

“These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies at universities across the country.”

Those transgender experiments performed on animals, usually end up being performed on children as young as eight years, only causing more harm to society. 

According to Rep. Mace, non-animal testing alternatives powered by “sophisticated technological tools” exist and “can more accurately model human biology and replace the need for animal experimentation.”

Even worse, they spent the money on futile experiments such as studying the fertility of transgender animals. Historically, no aminal assigned male at birth but transitioned into a female, including humans, ever gave birth, and the chances of that happening are slim. “For example, the Biden-Harris Administration spent $2.5 million taxpayer dollars to study the fertility of transgender mice,” Mace continued.

Many of the transgender fertility interventions, such as uterine transplants and artificial wombs remain untested on ethical grounds and due to their prohibitive financial costs. Additionally, they are unnecessary when a healthy reproductive population with an adequate male-to-female ratio exists.

Meanwhile, many Americans still struggle with proven fertility interventions such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which remain prohibitively expensive. Thus, publicly funded universities should use taxpayers’ dollars to study such interventions to create more successful and accessible solutions. Rep. Mace wants to explore ways to divert those funds to more meaningful experiments.

“The Subcommittee plans to evaluate current animal cruelty funded by the federal government and explore opportunities to prioritize technological alternatives that increase relevance to humans,” she stated.

The GOP lawmaker also wants to get to the bottom of the project and expose its ugly underbelly. Thus, initiated a Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation hearing on “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.”

Ten million dollars may look like a drop in the ocean, but Rep. Mace warned that the federal government spends “billions of taxpayer dollars on unnecessary animal experiments every year.”

Senior Vice President of the White Coat Waste Project Justin Goodman testified that although Congress does not have actual figures, the U.S. government spends “over $20 billion” on the inhumane experiments and is “the single largest funder of animal testing in the country, and, in fact, the world.”

Goodman also claimed that the funds came from Fauchi’s NIAID and were a slush fund to bring in more DEI grants. The money was also diverted to trendy topics while allowing scientists to do whatever they wanted to keep money flowing.

We can only hope that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will uncover more taxpayers’ dollars spent on cruel animal experiments and stop those payments and obligations.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s former senior aide has been sentenced to over a decade in prison for child sexual abuse. Rahamim Shy, 47, was arrested in the United Kingdom while traveling from New York to Bedford, England, in February 2024 to meet a nine-year-old girl and commit horrific sexual crimes on a minor, the BBC reported.

For around a month, Shy spoke to a woman called “Debbie,” who claimed to be the 9-year-old’s grandmother. However, she was an undercover police officer working for the protection of minors from sexual exploitation.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service that prosecuted the case, the senior Democratic adviser planned to “commit unspeakable acts against a child for his own sexual gratification.”

Through messaging apps, the Democrat detailed the disturbing acts he was planning to commit on the minor. He also said that nine years was a “tad late,” suggesting that he was more interested in much younger children. Nevertheless, he felt honored to be the 9-year-old’s “first” sexual encounter.

Police also searched his luggage and found toys and condoms, which they said proved he was serious about committing the described horrific acts on a child. Shy’s phone also contained child sex materials, which proved he was sexually obsessed with children.

“Rahamim Shy is a predator who was fully prepared to commit unspeakable acts against a child for his own sexual gratification,” said Lorraine Telford, a Child Protection Services (CPS) officer, who testified during the prosecution.

Telford added that based on Shy’s online conversations, the American had fully demonstrated his sole intention of traveling to commit rape on vulnerable children.

However, his defense argued that he was exempt from prosecution because the crime occurred while he was in the United States, away from the jurisdiction of English courts. 

However, the prosecution demonstrated that English courts had the jurisdiction to try cases that would have resulted in crimes in England, the actual existence of the child notwithstanding.

Shy was subsequently found guilty of arranging to commit a child sex offense, specifically rape and being in the possession of child porn. He was sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison.

Shy is hardly the first Democrat to be busted on child sexual abuse. Recently, an anti-Trump gay activist and Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegate, Matthew Inman, was arrested after planning to meet and commit horrific sexual acts on a nine-year-old boy.

Like Shy, Inman had been communicating with an undercover officer who pretended to be the child’s father. The gay activist and DNC delegate expressed his intention of sexually abusing the minor and sent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to the undercover officer.

Unlike Shy, who is likely to serve half of his 11.5-year prison sentence, Inman stares directly at the prospect of serving anywhere between half a decade and two decades in a federal prison.

Nonetheless, the punishment for child sexual abuse remains lenient enough to allow predators to complete their sentences and leave prison in time to commit more sexual crimes against children.

President Trump had proposed imposing the death penalty on child molesters, while only a handful of states, like Florida, have the law on their books. 

Transgender Meta employees are silently protesting Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms by bringing theirs from home and restocking the company’s supplies. 

Shortly after Trump’s victory, Zuckerberg announced various policy changes, including the restoration of freedom of speech, allowing users to freely discuss gender identity issues without violating the platform’s “Hateful Conduct” policy. 

The company also embarked on a process to realign its operations in accordance with the new ideological outlook. Part of that involved removing tampons from the men’s bathrooms, a decision that angered transgender male employees, that is, women who identify as men.

According to the New York Times, those employees started bringing their own tampons and restocking men’s bathrooms with the female sanitary products. “Quietly but unmistakably, the tampons, liners and pads reappeared in many of the men’s bathrooms at Meta’s offices,” the NYT reported, describing their return as a “quiet rebellion that Silicon Valley workers have staged as they grapple with the rightward shift of their bosses.”

Additionally, another group started circulating a petition to return female sanitary products to male bathrooms. However, Meta’s vice president of workplace services dashed their hopes by stating that the company had no intention of revisiting the issue.

It remains unclear if Meta removed female sanitary products from women’s bathrooms. If not, the female employees who identify as men are at liberty to access them without restrictions. This differs greatly from men identifying as women trying to access female bathrooms. In fact, women who identify as men but still need tampons should avoid men’s bathrooms for their safety. 

Meta may be at a loss on whether or how to remove the restocked tampons in male bathrooms without risking a lawsuit. However, it could impose a policy prohibiting employees from refilling the company’s supplies with personal products as a safety measure.

With many tech companies reducing their workforce, Meta might not fear losing a few employees who do not feel welcome or adequately accommodated. The company has already slashed its workforce by a third and still plans to fire more in the coming months.

Subsequently, Meta should consider having fewer employees who aggressively impose their personal ideology on everybody to avoid potential frivolous lawsuits. Doing so would also enhance a conducive teamwork environment where other employees do not have to walk on eggshells.

Nonetheless, the employees’ “subtle resistance” contrasts sharply with their vocal pro-liberal outbursts that marked Trump’s first term in office. With the hiring frenzy over, tech companies have reasserted their control and are not shy of shedding employees involved in active activism against the companies’ interests.

For example, Google fired 28 employees who opposed the company’s contract with the Israeli government. Nine employees were also arrested for trespassing in the company’s two offices, marking the end of an era where pro-Left employees called the shorts.

Tech companies have also embraced Trump in his second term, in what the Times called “a major departure for a tech industry that has typically leaned left and liberal.” Nonetheless, the impacts of their pro-liberal policies over the last decade will take years to fully undo.
