"Authentic" and "true self" are the shibboleths of the postmodern age. Being "real" is what counts even if to be real one must deny physical and visible reality. What, though, do these mandatory axioms actually mean?

News of newly elected right-wing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's victory rippled across the pond Sunday night, marking a historic turn for Italian politics. Though her critics were quick to tie Meloni's alleged political history with a neo-fascist agenda, her straightforward approach to Italy, and by extension, Europe's issues has garnered whole-hearted support from other conservative EU party leaders like Viktor Orban.

Although President Joe Biden declared that "the pandemic is over" last Sunday on "60 Minutes," the Biden administration seems to hold the vaccination mandate more sacred than religious liberty - and America's national security is paying the price.

A large contingent of FBI agents arrested a pro-life activist at his home on September 23 over an almost year-old and highly disputed incident with a pro-abortion supporter outside an abortion facility in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, no arrests have been made in the FBI's now three-month long investigation of attacks on dozens of pregnancy resource centers and pro-life organizations since May.

The whole concept behind Salesforce is to help companies connect with customers.  So it's more than a little ironic that the CEO behind the effort is intent on driving a political wedge between his own business and half of America.  For Marc Benioff, who's spent years turning Salesforce into a woke social force, it's no surprise that he'd threaten to yank his company from pro-life states.  The real surprise - at least for Benioff - may be how little those conservative states care.

So is abortion now illegal in America? Is the battle to protect life won at long last? Far from it! Although the June 24 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs clearly states that its 1973 decision was in error, and that there is no constitutional right to abortion, the fight for the right to life now moves to the states ... and to you!

Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, denied that unborn children have a heartbeat at six weeks and that the ultrasound is part of a grand conspiracy to give men control over women's bodies - statements that run contrary to well-established facts and medical standards of fetal development.  

One of the best ways to fight cultural absurdity is to make fun of it.  Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip "Dilbert," has spent 33 years leaning into that philosophy - poking fun at the woke mob, the cancel culture, and the outlandish social policies of the Left.  After all, G.K. Chesterton once said, "Humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle."  But for Adams, getting under the door isn't the problem.  Having the door slammed in his face by 77 newspapers is.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has renewed her heated campaign against pregnancy resource centers by implying that the crisis pregnancy center "industry" lures "pregnant people" into its offices - not to help expectant mothers - but to conduct "surveillance" that could help politicians prosecute women who obtain illegal abortions. Pro-life health care providers call the allegations ludicrous, and a former human trafficking victim replied to Warren's incendiary rhetoric by saying, "I wish she'd be quiet." 

Voters pleaded with Republican leaders to protect parental rights, children's modesty, and religious liberty as the GOP unveiled its "Commitment to America" midterm agenda on Friday morning - asking would-be Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to make America "godly" and become "the party of parents."

"Every year, one million Hispanic youth turn 18 and become eligible to vote. Since 2016 voter registration numbers among Hispanic Americans have swelled 24% compared to 9% for all other ethnic groups in America. Recently, we've seen evidence that Hispanic Americans, whether they be Mexicans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, etc., are changing their voting behavior, and leaving the Democratic Party in favor of the Republican Party."
