Focus on the Family recently surveyed?more than 3,800 Americans on how faith impacts personal decisions about marriage and recorded married respondents’ self-assessments of their unions.  The good news is that 74% of all married couples described their marriages as “healthy.” But even more encouraging is that convictional Christians—those who actively live out and practice their faith—scored higher on all 32 aspects of marriage that speak to matrimonial health—whether it be taking responsibility for mistakes, having compassion toward each other, trust, or financial management.  The difference between convictional Christian marriages and non-Christian marriages comes into focus, so to speak, when one digs deeper into the research findings. The study found that 25% of non-Christians surveyed said their marriages were in crisis, while only 13% of convictional Christians said so. And among those who profess faith, but not as strongly as convictional Christians, 22% of nominal Christians and 17% of born-again Christians said their marriages were in crisis.  Thus, when it comes to marriage, faith really does matter.  But just don’t take Focus on the Family’s word on it. Other researchers have found the same thing. A Harvard School of Public Health study found couples who regularly attend church services are about 30-50% less likely to divorce.  This statistic also holds true across racial groups. Research done by Kenneth Pargament and Annette Mahoney of Bowling Green University’s Spirituality and Psychology Research Team found that marriages are stronger and happier when husbands and wives understand there is a deeper spiritual significance to marriage beyond feelings or economic security.  Unfortunately, over the past several decades, the understanding of marriage as a sacred bond between a man and a woman has been lost as faith has diminished and our society becomes more about personal happiness and “self-fulfillment.” It is any wonder why divorce has become so prevalent in our culture, as faith—the glue that keeps couples together—loses influence in our society?  Or as the late esteemed social scientist James Q. Wilson put it, “Marriage was once a sacrament, then it became a contract, and now it is an arrangement. Once religion provided the sacrament, then the law enforced the contract, and now personal preferences define the arrangement.” And, sadly, because of these factors, many young people, as the Focus on the Family study finds, are less interested in getting married, with only 56% of single, non-married respondents saying they want to be married someday.  Thus, the renewal of faith in our culture is essential to solving the breakdown of marriage and the family—the two bedrock institutions that affect both present and future generations either positively or negatively. It is this same renewal of faith that will make marriage an institution to be desired, rather than one that has come with the negative emotional baggage of separation and divorce for so many young people.  And those of us in healthy marriages need to come alongside those who are struggling to offer support and encouragement. We also need to model what a biblical marriage looks like, through our words and actions, so people will be drawn to what we have, rather than be repelled by what they see when marriages take a wrong turn and head down the wrong road to dissolution.  Wilson wrote: “The right and best way for a culture to restore itself is for it to be rebuilt, not from the top down by government policies, but from the bottom up by personal decisions. On the side of that effort, we can find churches—or at least many of them—and the common experience of adults that the essence of marriage is not sex, or money, or even children: it is a commitment.”  To restore the commitment of marriage and the family and begin to reverse the tragic trends of the past 60-plus years, our efforts must start with the renewal of faith and the restoration of the family. By doing so, we will reap benefits beyond just stable families. We will be able to successfully address so many other issues—unwed pregnancy, drug addiction, income inequality, and government dependence—that plague our society. That’s a win for everyone—married and single—and the recipe for a healthy, flourishing society.  ?We publish a variety of perspectives.

For better or worse, Elon Musk isn't a guy who likes to hew to common wisdom. As much as I don't necessarily think that fealty to the Republican Party is always the best option for conservatives, I'd have to put Musk's third-party gambit in the "worse" category. Thanks to the...

It would almost be funny, at this point, if it weren't so serious. In the latest scandal to rock Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani's candidacy, the socialist state assemblyman is revealed to have posted an offensive video of an Indian comedy troupe cosplaying as exaggerated Jewish stereotypes...

As the nation rallies around the Texas communities devastated by recent flash flooding, at least a few leftists have decided to make the tragedy all about politics. One particularly controversial example involves a Houston-area pediatrician who shared a social media post calling for supporters of President Donald Trump to “get what they deserve.” It turns out that Dr. Christina B. Propst is the one who got what she deserved, since she’s now unemployed, according to the New York Post: The Facebook post quickly went viral after a screenshot was shared by Libs of TikTok. Propst’s employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, initially said the employee had been suspended — before announcing that “the individual is no longer employed” there. “As we previously mentioned in our original statement, we strongly condemn the comments that were made in that post. That post does not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics,” the company said. “We do not support or condone any statement that politicizes tragedy, diminishes human dignity, or fails to clearly uphold compassion for every child and family, regardless of background or beliefs,” the doctor’s office added. A previous initial statement saying that she had been placed on leave was shared by the head of the Texas Medical Board, Dr. Sherif Zaafran. Here’s that earlier statement: Thank you for alerting us to this. I was made aware of this earlier. This is the response of her employer attached on here. There is no place for politicization. The entire focus needs to be on looking for survivors. Any complaints we may receive will be thoroughly investigated. pic.twitter.com/CRDgMNVq5Z — Sherif Zaafran, MD (@szaafran) July 6, 2025 The doctor’s comment received widespread opprobrium from others on social media: Wow. Parents in the Houston area, you might want to avoid seeing anyone @BlueFishMD . They have a pediatrician wishing death on children of MAGA families. Your kids are not safe with people like this https://t.co/LpWocsyl4Q — Sadie May (@ma35418627) July 5, 2025 This is beyond reprehensible to whoever you are Dr Christina Propst! You should be ashamed of yourself!

Blames MAGA and gets fired. Christina B. Propst is the perfect example of how TDS is out of control. This has nothing to do with FEMA or climate change and we all know it. These people are being manipulated by evil. pic.twitter.com/hV1F9sVh46 — RPFLASH (@RP_FLASH) July 7, 2025 Mediaite reported on the story after initial reports that Propst had been suspended: A Texas pediatrician has been placed on leave and disavowed by her employers after a viral social media post about the state’s deadly flood disaster sparked outrage and even drew the attention of the Texas Medical Board. Dr. Christina B. Propst came under fire over a now-deleted social media post about the tragic and deadly flooding in Texas, which has left at least 79 people dead — including at least 28 children. Among those still missing are 10 girls and one chaperone from Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp that was utterly destroyed by the flooding. In a now-deleted post that was shared by screenshots on X, Propst, under her old Facebook username Chris Tina, wrote about the flooding and expressed apparent ill-will toward MAGA voters in affected areas, suggesting they should ‘get what they voted for.’” “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” the original post read. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.” Here’s some of the latest flood coverage:

This is so cool…. I love it when we tell you about something early, and we were ALL OVER this over two years ago back in 2023. I know a good thing when I see it, and when I saw what they were doing over at the Tuttle Twins, I told you all about it. Like this post: Tired Of Your Kids Being Brainwashed At School? READ THIS and FIGHT BACK! It looks like I wasn't the only one taking notice. Argentine President Javier Milei was so impressed he's re-launching a State-Funded Children's TV Channel (think: PBS) featuring the Tuttle Twins! Smart man! Argentine President Javier Milei Relaunches State-Funded Children’s TV Channel With ‘Tuttle Twins’ Milei reminds me so much of President Trump. "Milei tried to shut down Argentina public tv. They wouldn’t let him. So he’s airing Tuttle Twins instead," Tuttle Twins TV stated. 'Tuttle Twins' is an award-winning American animated series that teaches kids lessons on economic freedom and the dangers of communism.

The channel will also carry a re-tooled version of Zamba, a local history cartoon. “Thrilled to announce that Tuttle Twins will be coming to millions of Argentine kids on Paka Paka,” the show’s creators announced on X. “They’re replacing literal Marxist cartoons with hilarious education about freedom, economics and individual rights.” In the series, Ethan and Emily Tuttle travel through time and space with their libertarian grandma to learn about the glories of capitalism. In one episode, the siblings discover the evils of government overreach in a ravaged, garbage-strewn Cuba run by Fidel Castro. In another, they realise money loses its value when governments print too much. “This feels like cheating,” says a disappointed Ethan in one episode, as he watches ancient Romans melt cheaper metals to use as gold coins. “That’s because it is,” an animated Friedman responds. “And governments do it all the time.” The cartoon is based on a series of books published by the Libertas Institute, a think tank in Utah, and distributed by Angel Studios, co-founded by Neal and Jeffrey Harmon. They were once accused by Walt Disney Co and other studios of operating a copyright infringement scheme, leading to a US$62-million judgment. They re-emerged after a US$10-million settlement.

I'll tell you exactly why I love what they're doing and I'll show you how to get connected with them: Tired Of Your Kids Being Brainwashed At School? READ THIS and FIGHT BACK! Noah here, and this is something I feel very passionate about... I'm sick and tired of our kids being brainwashed with far-left, transgender, woke BS at school. How about you? In fact, I had a friend tell me recently that public schools are REQUIRED to have at least one gay/trans book in their libraries to "balance" things out. Give me a break! How about we stop all the nonsense and actually teach out kids things that will help them? Like self-reliance? Hard work? Free-market capitalism? Anti-inflation and anti-Federal Reserve? Imagine if you would have been taught that in school instead of....I don't know, square dancing and photosynthesis? Did most of what you learned in school help you in life? Me either! So it's time to fight back. It's time to arm out kids with stuff that will actually help them! Introducing one my favorite new things I recently discovered! They're called the Tuttle Twins and you're going to absolutely love this... Oh, and here's all you need to know really: they're hated by CNN, so that tells you they must be awesome! Hated by CNN... Loved by parents, grandparents, Americans, patriots, Deplorables, people who love and protect children... There's nothing more important than protecting our children. Protecting them, but then also arming them to be strong and courageous in this world! Joshua 1:9: 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” And I have just the thing to show you today that I am really excited about. I first told you about them a couple weeks ago when they were running a huge sale. That sale ended but now we have a bigger one! So for everyone who emailed me because they missed the last huge sale they did and you wanted a heads up the next time they did one, this is your heads up! This is directly from me and written from the heart. I don't reveal too many personal details about myself, but I have little children at home. I won't print their ages in here or tell you how many, but they're growing fast and the future they will inherit in this country is one of the reasons I work so hard at what we do here at WeLoveTrump! We're in a battlefield for the future of our country, and that means the future they will live in. So I've had this idea for the past 5-7 years since I first started this website that I wanted to produce some books that would help explain the world to all of our kids. One of my main goals with WeLoveTrump is to make the news SIMPLE. If you've noticed, we try and get right to the point in our stories... We write things in an easy to understand way. We don't use a 10-cent word if a 2-cent word will work just as well. We write in short paragraphs and short sentences. Why? Because it makes things easy to understand quickly, and that means more of our message gets out to more people! So I've always had this idea that I wanted to take that same concept and transfer it into books for kids, teaching them things like Conservative Values, money management, God, faith, right and wrong....you know, the kinds of things this country was founded on. I've never had the time to actually do it, and now I'm really glad I didn't. Why? Because I just found someone who took the idea and ran with it...and truth be told has done it so well and so wonderfully that I couldn't have done it better myself! That's high praise and very well deserved. If you're tired of having your kids exposed to THIS all day in school: Then it's time to shield them up! It's Ephesians 6 folks: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Stop sending them out like lambs to the slaughter... Shield them up!   The books are relatively new but are already a huge success and setting new sales records every day. And for good reason: I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this and I've already bought the full set for my kids. But here's why I wanted to tell you about this today... Two big reasons: ONE: I know we have a ton of parents and grandparents reading this and we're less than 45 days out from Christmas.  Yeah, sorry to set in the panic, but it's go time for presents! Sure you can get your kids or grandkids some more toys, and that's fine, but maybe slip in one or two of these books with your presents? It's the perfect gift for many of you reading this. TWO: As always, I never leave you high and dry. Readers of WeLoveTrump can get 75% off your order but it's only good for three more days (as of the time I'm writing this article)! Might be less by the time you read this. Two different packages to choose from, each 75% off...see it here: https://tuttletwins.com/?ref=NoahWLT Ends on Friday so don't delay. Who loves ya baby? I get your Christmas shopping done, I shield up your kids and grandkids, and I save you 50% while doing it! Woo woo!

Here's more directly from the Tuttle Twins company: What Makes Our Books So Different? The Tuttle Twins’ Book Series Introduces Important Ideas That Schools Don’t Teach. There aren’t any other children’s books that present a vast array of free-market topics in such a fun way. The books teach relevant freedom-based concepts that most of us were never taught as kids. But it’s not too late! The Tuttle Twins books challenges children to learn “adult” ideas—and they love it! We explain these ideas simply, and with helpful illustrations… and we’ve been amazed at how well kids rise to this challenge. Yours will, too. These stimulating stories encourage children to make sense of the world—and we’ve heard so much fun stories about how this is working so well. One mom wrote us this: “I took my kids to the grocery store a few days after we read one of the Tuttle Twins books about free markets. We were walking down the chip aisle when my son pointed to the 18 kinds of potato chips and said Hey, that’s spontaneous order! I kid you not. My kids know economic ideas that I didn’t even understand until we read the book together. So awesome!” And I recently got this email from another mom: “I’ve been so anxious about the state of our world and what to share with my children. Now we read Tuttle Twins books each night and it has been so helpful to talk to my kids about things like individual rights, the proper role of government, and what it means to be free. These discussions are so meaningful to our family, and they wouldn’t be happening without these books. Thank you so much!” That’s what our books are about: helping you have amazing conversations with your children about the ideas that built our amazing country but which are now under attack. For too long, parents have lacked a language to communicate these concepts to their kids. But not any longer. That problem has been solved with the Tuttle Twins books! For the visual learners out there (and who can't resist watching two cute kids?) watch this and learn from the children. They need our help and they deserve our help: I love this company for so many reasons, and here's one more... Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed: Not happy with what you get?

After Elon Musk announced the formation of the ‘America Party,’ an alleged FEC filing for the party circulated on social media.

So it begins. pic.twitter.com/uHxwXUBO6i — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) July 6, 2025 Musk later confirmed the FEC paperwork is fake. “This filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC,” he said. This filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025 WION noted: While there is no clarity on what Musk’s plan is for his party and when he plans to file it officially, the tech giant is busy promoting the party, attacking both Democrats and Republicans. Elon Musk said that the ‘American Party’ has been formed to challenge the ‘uniparty’ system of Republicans and Democrats, in a post a day after Trump signed ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill’ into law. He wrote on X, “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” Slamming the tech billionaire in a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump dismissed Musk’s American Party as “ridiculous” and said that his former ‘buddy’ has gone “off the rails.” He said that the third party can create complete chaos and disruption in the United States. He further added that the country is already dealing with the chaos created by “Radical left Democrats.” He insisted that Musk’s rebellion stems from Big Beautiful Bill’s elimination of “the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate”. “It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning,” he wrote on Truth Social. In response, Musk asked, “What’s Truth Social?” and declared that he had never heard of it. Never heard of it — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025 “I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way. But it’s always been a two-party system. And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion,” Trump said. “Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous,” he added. Check it out: BREAKING: Trump on Elon creating a third party: "Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous." pic.twitter.com/VrbPm84ZuU — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) July 6, 2025 More info from Fox News: Musk chose to establish a new political party after expressing grave concerns with the president’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which was signed into law on Friday at the White House. The sweeping $3.3 trillion legislation includes tax cuts, infrastructure spending and stimulus measures and has drawn criticism from fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Though Musk did not reference the bill directly in his America Party posts, the timing suggests rising friction between the billionaire and the president. Musk has previously warned that unchecked spending by both parties threatens the long-term health of the economy. The new party, according to Musk’s posts, will target a few key seats in Congress. The goal is to create a swing bloc powerful enough to hold the balance of power and block what Musk sees as the worst excesses of both Republicans and Democrats. Third parties have traditionally had a difficult time gaining ground in American politics as the system is built for two dominant parties. With the Electoral College, winner-take-all elections and strict ballot access laws, outsiders cannot meaningfully compete. Even when a third-party candidate catches fire, it rarely lasts beyond a single election cycle. One of the biggest third-party efforts in recent history was Ross Perot’s 1992 run. He earned nearly 19% of the popular vote as an independent but didn’t win a single Electoral College vote. It was the closest a third-party candidate got to the White House after President Teddy Roosevelt’s famed Bull Moose Party run in 1912 against his onetime protégé, William Howard Taft.
