Dad Saves America

From mailers pushing trans kids to leave their families to an AI discovery that could break the internet, this Halloween is shaping up to be a scary one. And that’s before I start thinking about the midterms on Tuesday.
Who's steering us through the chaos? A geriatric political class that can barely follow any of it, and a retiree generation that, per a new Cato poll, overwhelmingly backs higher taxes on young workers to protect its own Social Security checks. Meanwhile, the young left's preferred model is France, which is on fire.
Caught between zombies, vampires, and Jacobins, which scares you most?

France is still on fire. A town hall nearly 200 years old has burned to the ground, and police are now drawing the line at the Louvre. Back home, the Cornell 7 case has become a Rorschach test for what’s left of feminism. This week, I’m responding to your comments on both.
From Paris to Cornell, the West has the same disease: a culture too permissive to judge anything, institutions no one can trust, and a generation raised without shame.
Does the West still have the backbone to say “No” to our spiritual decline?

The Cornell 7 case has reignited the campus sexual assault panic of the mid-2010s. Jane Doe's own written statements described the events as consensual, but her story later transformed into a serious criminal allegation.
Unlike the Duke lacrosse hoax, which turned out to be an outright fabrication, this case is more ambiguous in both the accusations made and the culture they emerged from. Even so, the public outcry pulls on the same debunked statistics about campus sexual assault that turned colleges into Title IX kangaroo courts in the first place.
Rather than a salacious true crime saga, the real story here is what the sexual revolution has done to our kids. The pill made sex cheap, hookup culture replaced courtship, and birthrates collapsed. Who's going to teach our kids a better way if we don't?
