Today, we celebrate that our nation, despite a flawed and fallen people, can declare victory over a legal — and, more crucially, moral — error. Our living document can contribute to squashing a Culture of Death. We are not finished. On that day one year ago, a single battle became fifty. The journey to make abortion unprofitable, unfashionable, and unthinkable would be fifty times more complex. We pray and fight for an America where an unborn baby holds dignity in every state, red or blue.

The preamble of the Declaration of Independence explicitly states that we are “endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Our country’s fabric has frayed because most citizens no longer share a common understanding of the Constitution, namely the principle that human rights come from God, not government.

Abi Dills visited the border in April of 2022 and spoke with community leaders, local law enforcement, and border patrol. Her trip to the border opened my eyes to the tragedies occurring. An open border is unsafe for migrants and Americans alike. While government bureaucrats are safe in their secure buildings, illegal immigrants are flooding into the interior, making a mockery of the rule of law and overwhelming local communities.

Since when did it become okay to joke about murdering people who disagree with your radical views? While a co-host assured that Fonda was “just kidding,” other radical abortion activists’ comments are not always empty threats. Their coercive language has spurred violence and persecution against those who protect unborn life. Since the opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade leaked from the Supreme Court last May, pro-life pregnancy centers, churches, and organizations have been ruthlessly vandalized, bombed, and broken into by abortion extremists.

In the past year, moral degeneracy has rapidly infiltrated the offices of our government, the entertainment on our screens, and the classrooms in our schools. From drag queen story hour for kindergarteners to gender-reassignment surgeries for minors, the sexualization of children is sweeping the nation. In Balenciaga's 2022 holiday campaign, the company flirted with the sexual exploitation and pornography of children. We must hold Balenciaga, and other influential left-wing entities, accountable for its perversion by speaking out, shopping elsewhere, and taking out the trash.

In the 2022 midterms, Democrats dominated among the 18-29 and 30-44 age groups at the ballot box, stopping the Republican sweep in its tracks. These exit polls are an indictment of the Republican party and its failed outreach to young people. For years, the GOP has been aloof to Gen-Z as a voting demographic, banking on the boomers to deliver their wins each Election Day. When it comes to culture, the GOP is asleep at the wheel. Counter-cultural ventures like The Conservateur are the best chance we have to combat the corruption in our society and reclaim Gen-Z for the Right. The GOP needs to chiefly be in the business of redeeming the hardened hearts and lost souls of our young generation.

Members of the armed forces courageously put their lives on the line to preserve the precious freedoms and liberties we enjoy as citizens. The five branches of the military serve as our nation’s defense against foreign enemies. If it weren’t for the military, our foes could conquer us and strip us of our rights and freedoms. Thank God for our veterans.
