Tennessee kicked off its first “Nuclear Family Month” on June 1, thanks to a joint resolution signed by Republican Governor Bill Lee. The resolution defining, defending and honoring the nuclear family affirms that the union of one man and one woman, and their children, has been the basic building block of society and prosperity for both Tennessee and the United States of America, as a whole. What’s more, the nuclear family is “God's perfect design for humanity and is aligned with the long-held traditional values of Tennessee,” the resolution proclaims: “The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God's design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world.” The resolution does not mention that June is also celebrated as “Pride Month” by the LGBTQ+ community, but it does state that “the nuclear family is under attack in our beloved State and nation, and it is our responsibility to uplift, protect, and support values that help Tennessee prosper.” Thus, in support of the nuclear family, the resolution declares: “BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED FOURTEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that we join with the citizens of Tennessee in designating the month of June 2025 as ‘Nuclear Family Month’ and commend the noble endeavors of those who seek to protect and strengthen the traditional values of our State and country.” In addition to professing pro-family values, the resolution also goes on to reject the values of organizations that are hostile to the nuclear family: “Tennessee's values do not align with the humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices.” The resolution, HJR 0812, was originally introduced in February 2025 but was not signed by Gov. Lee until April 9 of this year after the text was amended to update the year to 2026. Statistics documenting the harm to children caused by being raised in fatherless homes are also presented in HJR 0812: 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances. 60% of youth suicides. 71% of high school dropouts. 85% of youths in prison. Sullivan County Commission candidate Lakie Derrick, who helped write the resolution, told Tennessee’s WKRN News that the idea for the resolution was inspired by God after she became aware of a similar celebration in Italy: “I first got this idea whenever I saw the Italian prime minister, and she dedicated June and had a nuclear family celebration. “I saw that, and I thought, ‘Wow, if Italy can do that, why can’t we? Why can’t Tennessee?’ For about eight months, I felt God was just asking me, ‘Why can’t Tennessee?’” Tennessee isn’t alone in honoring family and faith this June, as Newsweek explains: “Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, has proclaimed June 2026 as ‘Fidelity Month,’ a state observance encouraging residents to renew their commitment to ‘God, family, community, and country.’ “The declaration comes as Pride Month celebrations begin across the United States, placing Arkansas among a handful of GOP-led states that have promoted alternative observances centered on religious and traditional social values. “Cultivating fidelity to God, family, community, and country contributes to human flourishing and supports a healthy, stable, well-ordered society,” the Arkansas declaration says.

Even when they finally talk about Democratic Party scandals, The View finds a way to shift the blame to someone else.  The ABC News show spent part of Monday’s episode trying to make the case for Graham Platner, a Nazi and the presumptive Democratic Party nominee in the Senate race in Maine. According to some members of the cast, men in general were the problem with Platner’s infidelity. Additionally, one co-host still wanted her fellow Democrats to support Platner because “our country is in grave, grave peril” because of President Trump. Finally getting to the Democrat’s scandal in their B-block, moderator Whoopi Goldberg scoffed at Platner’s cheating scandal and tried to make it an issue about ALL men, not just his problem. Even faux conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin played along with her men bashing: GOLDBERG: Welcome back. The controversies keep coming for Democratic senator -- Senate candidate graham planter on the heels of apologizing for a tattoo associated with Nazis, then offensive posts about a wounded U.S. soldier, now his wife Amy Gertner is responding to reports that she gave his campaign a heads up about her husband sending sexually explicit texts to several different women. Baby, these men are having the hardest time. I mean, it doesn't even matter what side of the fence you are on. These men are just whipping and racing all through the place -- FARAH GRIFFIN: I know. Are men okay? GOLDBERG: I know.   The View makes Nazi Graham Platner's (D-ME) cheating scandal about ALL men: WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Welcome back. The controversies keep coming for Democratic senator -- Senate candidate graham planter on the heels of apologizing for a tattoo associated with Nazis, then offensive posts… pic.twitter.com/6HygFaJr6x — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) June 1, 2026   Following a clip of Platner’s wife whining about the attention her husband’s cheating had gotten, Goldberg suggested that the accusations weren’t true, but also men were the problem. “So the Planters [sic] says the report isn't true. Now, who knows, but I just -- as I was looking at this I just thought does no -- and no shade, gentlemen, but it just feels like y'all are out of control,” she exclaimed. “Every time we turn around somebody has somebody else up against the wall and the bed.” Fake Republican co-host Ana Navarro also seemed to agree with Goldberg’s condemnation of all men, and Goldberg pointed to Trump as a party to blame too: NAVARRO: I think we feel like that because also this year we have seen a lot of out of control men. GOLDBERG: A lot! Don't forget the one at the top. NAVARRO: That's true, the one they all voted for. You know, all those bible-clutching Christians voted for the guy we all heard boast about sexual assault on video and tape.   Whoopi scoffs at the allegations and says "who knows" if Platner actually cheated on his wife (after noting his wife told the campaign). She then puts it on ALL men again, saying they're all "out of control": GOLDBERG: So the Planters [sic] says the report isn't true. Now, who… pic.twitter.com/ALiIBn5pqC — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) June 1, 2026   Co-host Sara Haines pushed back on Goldberg’s lie that the accusations weren’t real: "Not to make this political, I'm usually not the one who does that. But watching the video of the wife saying, 'you know, don't spend energy on these ads.' The problem with these ads is, they are true. These accusations are true." Co-host Sunny Hostin also affirmed that the sexting messages were real. “The sexting with other women while married is definitely true because his wife is the person that gave the messages to his campaign to give them a heads up,” she noted, “Why would she lie about that? So that part is true.” One would think that since, Hostin was the one who was chronically racially aggrieved and made everything about race, she would at least be one of the co-hosts to drop the Nazi like a hot potato. However, you’d be wrong.   Directly countering Whoopi Goldberg's suggesting that it's unclear if the sexting scandal was true, Sara Haines acknowledged that it is true, but falsely claims the things being said about James Talarico for "lies": SARA HAINES: Not to make this political, I'm usually not the… pic.twitter.com/7uSoHUwfYL — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) June 1, 2026   Hostin was “conflicted” about what to do with the Platner question. She acknowledged: “He's also made racist remarks against African Americans. So he's a cheater, he's an anti-Semite because the fact that he had that tattoo for 20 years and didn't know what it was is a lie. So he's a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite.” But according to her, Democrats had to look past that and climb in bed with a Nazi, because orange man bad: We have someone who has almost unbridled power in the White House at this point. There are no checks and balances and the only way that we can maybe bring a bit of our democracy back is by having a Congress that functions and that has this checks and balances. And I do think one of the only ways is to win that seat in Maine. And so I -- like Cory booker said, this is a concern, but our country is in grave, grave peril.   Sunny Hostin says she's "conflicted" with Nazi Platner. She says Dems need to back him for the seat because Trump has put America in "grave, grave peril." Hostin also admits that the sexting scandal is true because his wife disclosed it, but Navarro still suggest it isn't true… pic.twitter.com/9rp0FTvHf1 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) June 1, 2026   “There are other paths and they don't have to go through Maine,” Farah Griffin tried to argue. “I'm not convinced,” Hostin bloviated. Speaking of cheating, it’s worth looking back at how The View cast bragged about easy it would be to cheat on their husbands. If they really wanted to, of course. The transcript is below.

NAVARRO: That's true, the one they all voted for. You know, all those bible-clutching Christians voted for the guy we all heard boast about sexual assault on video and tape. But forget that. Just in the last few months we've dealt with the Eric Swalwell scandal which was horrible and the scumbag from Texas - what was his name? Tony Gonzalez. HOSTIN: Yeah.

But watching the video of the wife saying, 'you know, don't spend energy on these ads.' The problem with these ads is, they are true. These accusations are true. What they're doing to James Talarico in Texas are calling him things that he isn't. That's where you don't spend energy is on false information. But on this, I would argue you tell it like this is. This is a character flaw. This isn't - He, Platner has said, you know, he did it -- I didn't mean it I've changed. This is a problem. The Purple Heart recipient, by the way, the video he insulted was a man who took fire to save his team and he said, 'this stupid guy should have died. It's only because they didn't have good aim that he's here.' If you were capable of saying that at any time in your life, you've shown me who you are and I heard you. This man should be nowhere near Congress. We've already got a wealth of people we need out. We're not sending one like this in. SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah, you know, I am conflicted. HAINES: Thank you. [Applause] HOSTIN: I am conflicted. They asked Cory booker how he felt about this because I think all the allegations are true. The sexting with other women while married is definitely true because his wife is the person that gave the messages to his campaign to give them a heads up.

After the Sunday morning talk shows broke the dam on the broadcast network-wide blackout of coverage on Maine Democrat senatorial candidate Graham Platner and his umpteen scandals, Sunday’s NBC Nightly News and the Monday morning shows of ABC, CBS, and NBC covered the “fresh controversy” hitting “one of the most-talked-about candidates in the midterms” who’s “critical to Democrats’ hopes of taking back power[.]” The networks went into the sordid details of his reportedly sexually explicit texts to as many as a dozen women early in his marriage, but they sought to assist “oyster farmer” Platner in ignoring a number of scandals and minimizing the damage from others. That included downplaying that Nazi tattoo as one “some say resembles a Nazi symbol.” Sunday’s Nightly News featured anchor Hallie Jackson announcing “a growing political controversy involving the Democrat running for one of the most closely watched Senate seats in the country[.]” Sunday’s ‘NBC Nightly News’ was the first broadcast network morning or evening newscast to even mention Graham Platner with anchor Hallie Jackson announcing “a growing political controversy involving the Democrat running for one of the most closely watched Senate seats in the… pic.twitter.com/kH27PKEpXh — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 1, 2026 Correspondent Julie Tsirkin fretted Platner’s marriage with Amy Gertner is being “scrutinized after Platner’s former campaign manager, Genevieve McDonald, said at the start of Platner’s insurgent Senate bid, Gertner told her her husband had sent sexually explicit texts to other women, and that she feared it could eventually hurt his campaign[.]” Tsirkin leveled quite the understatement considering this was the first Platner story on Nightly News: “The texts are the latest in a string of controversies for the veteran and oyster farmer, hoping to defeat incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in November.” Speaking of stories none of the networks mentioned on Sunday or Monday was the fact that Platner is anything but working-class or simply an “oyster farmer” because not only did his rich father loan him money to buy a house, but Platner attended an elite boarding school, and his oyster farming is bankrolled by a fellow spoiled rich kid. Tsirkin was the only network correspondent across the four reports thus far to mention that “Platner once used the messaging app kik,” yet skipped out on explaining that it’s a known app for child predators. Our friend Tim Rice at the Daily Wire explained that in detail here. Tsirkin finally arrived at the Nazi tattoo, explaining, “Platner also faced backlash last fall over this tattoo...historically linked to Nazi symbolism, which Platner says he didn’t know at the time.” She also alluded to his hate-riddled Reddit profile: “Years ago, Platner also posted online criticizing police, suggesting victims of rape should ‘take some responsibility for themselves’ and allegedly using anti-gay slurs.” Tsirkin concluded on a hopeful note for her fellow leftists: “Platner so far is not losing support among his voters. A new poll conducted before these latest revelations actually show Platner surging ahead of Susan Collins by nine points.” Moving to Monday’s Today, NBC co-host Craig Melvin announced “fresh controversy is swirling around” Platner before Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles embarrassingly went to the mat for the “oyster farm and combat veteran” by downplaying the SS Death’s Head tattoo as something “some say resembles a Nazi symbol”: On Monday’s ‘Today,’ NBC said Graham Platner was facing “fresh controversy” in the sexting scandal on top of the tattoo “some say resembles a Nazi symbol” and “other questions about his fitness for office, including old social media posts, where he shared inflammatory views about… pic.twitter.com/nXYabj0ves — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 1, 2026 Fretting he’s been “battered by a new scandal” of sexting with women who weren’t his wife, Nobles explained: “[I]n recent months, Platner has been dogged by other questions about his fitness for office, including old social media posts, where he shared inflammatory views about sexual assault.” Nobles joined Tsirkin in giving liberals hope everything will be fine, citing polls showing him up big. Left unsaid: The same went for then-Democrat Sara Gideon in 2010, but Collins won by nearly nine points. Over on ABC’s Good Morning America, liberal potted plant Mary Bruce cued up fellow Washington-based correspondent Jay O’Brien by saying Platner was “fighting new claims about his personal conduct.” O’Brien laid out the predicate for the left to still back Platner, calling his race “one of the most closely watched races...critical Democrats’ hopes of taking back power here on Capitol Hill.” He said the “rising Democratic star” Platner was “weathering yet another controversy” in the form of “sexually explicit messages with as many as a dozen women,” which Platner and Gertner insist is no one’s business. Incredibly, O’Brien also held him up as some sort of Boy Scout and explained away the Nazi skull-and-crossbones as having “resembl[ed] a Nazi tattoo” the candidate claims “he drunkenly got...while on leave” in 2007. “Platner, who said he didn’t know the tattoo symbolism, later covering it up with a new design in October,” he added. Monday’s CBS Mornings was the most unequivocal. Congressional correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns said “Democrats have been counting on this popular, progressive Graham Platner” to gain the Senate majority, so this “new controversy” has “divid[ed] Democrats.” Monday’s CBS Mornings was the closest of the broadcast networks to getting it right when it comes to Graham Platner. Caitlin Huey-Burns contrasted Platner’s hunky dory campaign video — “featuring the oyster farmer on the back of his boat...and walking with his wife” — alongside… pic.twitter.com/7VmTZXOTVV — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 1, 2026 Huey-Burns contrasted Platner’s hunky dory campaign video — “featuring the oyster farmer on the back of his boat...and walking with his wife” — alongside the reports of what many would deem infidelity and “questions about now-deleted Reddit posts, in which he called himself a ‘communist’ and asked, ‘why don’t Black people tip?’” On the tattoo, we’ll give credit to Huey-Burns for being the most direct in calling it “widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.” She also shouted out another Reddit post in which he said women need to “act like an adult” if they want to avoid being raped. But, like the others, she gave the liberal viewership good news: “[E]ven after those past controversial statements, Platner continued to lead in the polls.” All told, they straddled the line between outrage and damage control, perhaps because Maine election law would allow Governor Janet Mills (D) — who dropped out last month but remains on the ballot — to replace Platner as late as July 13 and over a month after their June 9 primary.

The arrogant leftist die-hards at 60 Minutes are not careful about their facts. They’re too relentlessly pompous to respect facts. See the headline in The New York Times: Scott Pelley Accuses CBS News Boss of ‘Murdering’ ‘60 Minutes’ In an interview with Status, Oliver Darcy’s website for shaming the press into being the most ardent leftist activists imaginable, former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft used similar violent-death metaphors:  “Since I retired, I often wondered what would happen to ‘60 Minutes,’” said Kroft, who concluded his run at the program in 2019 after 30 seasons. “But I never expected it would be executed by the president of the United States.” The show hasn't been killed by CBS like that sitcom DMV or their medical drama Watson. They want to pretend the show is "executed" if it isn't 100 percent anti-Trump and anti-Republican all the time. If anyone "murdered" the show's credibility, it was these two! Kroft conducted a plethora of softball interviews with Barack Obama, and Pelley pampered Failing Joe Biden twice while he was president.  Someone in the die-hard caucus recorded an internal staff meeting and released the audio to Status. Pelley was fighting with the new boss picked by Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton:  “Bari loves this institution,” Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. “She loves 60 Minutes.” “She’s murdering 60 Minutes,” Pelley countered. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she’s doing exactly that.” Pelley, who’s been at CBS News since 1989, clearly hates the new team, and questions all of their qualifications. He lectured Bilton: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she’s made at the Evening News have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?” Team Pelley really thinks all this audio makes them look righteous (not self-righteous). You're supposed to paint Pelley throwing thunderbolts like he's News Anchor Hercules. Charles Forelle, a top Weiss deputy and managing editor of CBS News, interjected, telling Pelley that he was being “rude.” “This is not actually productive,” Forelle said. “This is not an interview.” “It’s working for me,” Pelley replied. “Anybody came into our house—this is 60 Minutes,” Pelley added. “I guess you wandered in expecting to read a statement off?”  Anyone can understand the 60 Team being upset at their colleagues being fired. Anyone can understand a meeting with new managers could be "tense." But acting like the Resistance and taping the meeting and leaking the audio is really something.  Pelley, who was applauded multiple times during the meeting by other staffers present, then refocused the conversation on the firings. “Here’s a question: Were you aware of how Black Friday was going to play out?” he asked. “I find it odd that you would take this job knowing that you would never be welcomed here.” This makes the word "territorial" sound incredibly inadequate. Bilton wasn't bending:  “I have no problem taking a job in a place that I am not welcome, OK? I don’t believe that will be the case,” Bilton replied. “I am not intimidated by—I have been a journalist for 25 years, Scott. I have sat and talked with incredibly powerful people like you have,” Bilton continued. “None of it intimidates me, OK? So you are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people.” “Does it show good judgment to take this job under those circumstances?” Pelley asked. Somehow the Left doesn't believe that the new owners of CBS get to own it. Pelley gets to own it. Get out of "our house"! 

Employers would be required to provide employees up to 12 days of paid leave during menstruation or abortions under a bill introduced and backed by Democrats. “Any employee,” regardless of gender, would be eligible for the paid time off mandated by the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act (H.R. 8158) introduced by Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The bill provides employer-paid leave, not just for physical symptoms and conditions – but, also for any “mental symptom” – related to a list including menstruation, menopause, perimenopause and abortion (“termination of pregnancies”). Employers who deny workers this type of paid leave are committing “economic violence,” Rep. Grijalva claimed at a May 21 press conference promoting the bill: “Forcing a worker to choose between paying her rent or losing a day's pay to recover from a grueling gynecological procedure is not a choice - it’s economic violence.” “And it's not just for women,” the congresswoman said, calling the bill “inclusive,” potentially signaling that transgender men and women would be eligible for benefits for biologically-impossible conditions. All 28 cosponsors of H.R. 8158 are Democrats.
