Canada has embraced “medical assistance in dying”—or “MAID”—with unseemly enthusiasm. It was legalized in 2016 only for very sick people already at the end of life. It was then extended to those with serious medical conditions. Now, in just two years, it will be available for people just with mental illness.

Certainly, no decent person wants terminally ill patients to suffer needlessly. But Canada is already halfway down the proverbial slippery slope.

Increasingly, even some patients with a good prognosis are demanding MAID. And in Canada’s socialized health care system, there’s always the risk that citizens with expensive ailments will be coerced into choosing MAID to cut costs.

When a deeply secular society sees life as just a commodity, rather than a gift from God, the spread of policies like MAID are perhaps foreseeable. That doesn’t make them healthy—or right.

Since President Trump’s victory corporate America’s had a vibe shift—and it’s long overdue.

DEI quotas: getting rolled back.

Debanking: facing real pushback.

Companies are waking up and getting back to business.

J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup say “no” to politicized debanking. Target and IBM are backing off DEI. Even BlackRock, the ESG poster child, is rethinking its stance on energy and opening the door to conservative engagement.

This is why elections matter. But what we do after elections matters even more. DEI and ESG aren’t dead, but they are reeling.

So, here’s the call: If you’re a shareholder, speak up. Push for neutrality, push for accountability, and push for a market that works for everyone, not just the activists.

A new poll from Gallup found the percentage of Americans who drink alcohol has fallen to its lowest level in history.

On the other hand: drug use is at an all-time high and young adults use marijuana more regularly than alcohol, while our youth use it at the same rate (which, before legalization, was never the case).

This is the result of years-long campaigns warning of the dangers of alcohol and nearly zero campaigns on the dangers of marijuana, which we consistently destigmatize.

What the alcohol survey shows is what previous successful drug messaging shows: when perception of risk and harm goes up, use goes down. We’ve done the opposite with marijuana and get headlines like we did last week from the New York Times: Both “Cannabis Poisonings Are Rising, Mostly Among Kids: As products like weed gummies proliferate, more children and teens are suffering symptoms including seizures and life-threatening breathing problems.”

We must do better, our inconstancy and inconsistency in the battle for our children’s health depends on it.

Conservative members of the State Financial Officers Foundation from Utah Treasurer, Marlowe Oaks to Pennsylvania Treasurer, Stacy Garrity and others, just sent a clear message to financial giants like BlackRock - If you keep attacking our energy industries, you can't do business with us.

That's right. These Red State financial officers are standing up for American industry and refusing to let woke finance dictate our future.

This is a turning point.

For too long, big asset managers have used their power to push radical climate agendas, hurting local economies and devaluing energy investments. But now states are fighting back, defending their industries, protecting jobs, and restoring common sense to capital markets.

Your values are finally being defended in the financial arena. No more silent surrender to ESG pressure.

It's time to invest in strength, not ideology.

The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump might reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous, Schedule III drug. The President should reconsider.

Marijuana harms our children and darkens their futures. In states with legal “adult use” marijuana, there’s been a 25 percent increase in marijuana use disorder among twelve-to-seventeen-year-olds, compared to states where the drug isn’t legal.

Studies show that marijuana can cause psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression. It’s a major risk factor for mental illness. Reclassifying marijuana will undermine some of the president’s key goals—including cleaning up our cities, making our nation more competitive, and getting people to work.

Big Marijuana and the drug industry have a lot of money to plead their case—and they’re willing to spend it. But their claims aren’t in the best interest of Americans.

It’s up to the president to do what’s right for our country.

There's a major shift coming in the finance world that could protect both your portfolio and your principles.

As initially reported by Alex Saeedy of the Wall Street Journal, the White House just released an executive order to stop big banks from debanking customers over political views, including conservatives and crypto firms.

Why does this matter? Because when banks target people for their beliefs, they're not just violating rights, they're damaging their own brand integrity. Politicized e-banking is a red flag. It erodes trust, invites regulatory scrutiny, and alienates millions of Americans who expect neutrality from financial institutions.

President Trump knows this firsthand. Now the administration is fighting back.

That's good news for conservatives and a massive win for investors who want to see brand value built on neutrality, not ideology.

Charles Krauthammer identified the 1990s as a “Holiday from History”—where the civilized part of humanity ignored the barbarizing part, namely the rising tide of Islamist terrorism. That holiday ended on September 11, 2001.

It is tempting to turn away from that same Islamist terrorism, or pretend it is not our business. But, meantime, tens and tens of thousands of Christians and others are being slaughtered by Islamist and Arabist movements in the Middle East and Africa, to very little alarm here. These horrifying violations of human rights, this ongoing civilizational abuse, can be ignored for only so long before we completely nullify any notion of human rights or face another savage end of a holiday we cannot afford. Or both.

Western civilization and values are not vouchsafed by osmosis, which is why it is no accident the Jews and Christians, that make up Judeo Christian civilization, are being killed with impunity.

One side must win—and one must lose.

I recently penned an open letter to President Trump. Here’s an abbreviated version:

Dear President Trump:

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering dedication to our nation. Your leadership has profoundly strengthened Americans in the face of relentless challenges. Your sacrifices inspire millions.

The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was a blatant injustice, yet it didn’t deter you. You faced six baseless lawsuits, survived two assassination attempts, including the harrowing incident in July ‘24 in Pennsylvania, a bullet struck your head. And minutes later, with blood on your face, you stood tall, defiantly raised your fist, and rallying the nation to “Fight, fight, fight!” and you have.

Your relentless push for the Big Beautiful Bill will ensure Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.

And I could go on and on….

I am deeply grateful for your sacrifices and the lasting impact you continue to have on this nation and the world.

It’s with my sincere appreciation,
