Past 24 Hours
Pro-Life Pregnancy Center Fights Back Against Blue-State Thugs
New Jersey Democrats thought they could bully a faith-based center into silence. Now it’s headed to the Supreme Court—and America First dads are cheering.
A pro-life pregnancy resource center in Hackettstown is appealing a crushing $1.2 million fine to the U.S. Supreme Court after New Jersey officials weaponized “lawfare” against it for offering post-abortion support and refusing to report clients to the state. The center, run by devout Christians who help women choose life amid crisis pregnancies, was targeted under a Democrat-backed law that turns caregivers into snitches for the abortion industry.
This isn’t just about one center; it’s the regime’s war on parental sovereignty and the sacredness of life from womb to tomb. If we let bureaucrats dictate what families can say or do, what’s next—mandatory “gender-affirming” classes in church basements? God, family, and local charity come before Trenton or D.C. every time.
GOP Senators Demand End to Mail-Order Baby Killing
Republicans are finally drawing a line: No more chemical abortions shipped like Amazon Prime packages to destroy unborn lives and American families.
A bipartisan push in Congress, led by pro-life warriors, is urging the Trump administration to ban the U.S. Postal Service from delivering abortion pills like mifepristone, which has fueled a surge in at-home abortions since Biden’s FDA greenlit it. North Dakota’s Supreme Court just upheld strict state restrictions, rejecting Big Pharma’s pleas for unregulated baby-killing-by-mail.
As fathers tasked with protecting the innocent, we can’t stomach this sanitized slaughter. It erodes the family as God’s design, turning homes into killing fields. Eternalist generationalism means fighting for the great-grandkids who deserve a nation that honors life, not commodifies death.
Trump Slaps Tariffs on Border-Cheaters and China Cartels
America First trade policy just got teeth: President Trump vows 25% duties on Canada, Mexico, and China to punish open-border chaos and reward real workers.
In a Truth Social thunderbolt, Trump announced the hikes starting February 2025, targeting nations flooding the U.S. with cheap goods and migrants while our farmers and tradesmen get squeezed dry. It’s a direct hit on the corporate-globalist nexus that’s hollowed out Main Street for Beijing’s benefit.
Dads building homesteads and small businesses know the score: Speculation and debt peonage kill communities; productive capital revives them. This isn’t isolationism—it’s ordered freedom, putting our wives, kids, and parishes over WEF wet dreams. The tide’s turning toward distributist sanity.
DHS Ends “Temporary” Invasion from Myanmar
No more fake protections for endless influxes: Trump admin axes TPS for 100,000+ Burmese, sending a message that America’s not a global welfare depot.
The Department of Homeland Security revoked Temporary Protected Status for Myanmar citizens yesterday, citing stabilized conditions back home and the need to prioritize citizens over chain-migration schemes. This follows mass deportations slashing foreign-born numbers by historic margins.
Borders that actually exist mean secure neighborhoods where kids play without fear, churches thrive without dilution, and fathers focus on family headship—not funding the regime’s demographic replacement game. Pro-life, pro-sovereignty, pro-place: That’s the hierarchy.
Parents Ditch Screens for Soil: Tech Backlash Fuels Homeschool Boom
Fed up with iPad indoctrination, families are pulling kids from public schools for low-tech, high-faith learning on the land.
A growing revolt against classroom gadgets—fueled by exploding ADHD rates and gender ideology creep—has parents opting for homeschool co-ops, farm-based curricula, and neighborly mentorships. POLITICO reports a “small but fierce” wave hitting blue states, where bureaucrats treat children as state property.
This is parental sovereignty in action: Church over classroom, homestead over homework. As dissident dads, we’re reclaiming education to forge resilient souls, not compliant consumers. Great-grandkids will thank us for ditching the edu-bureaucratic machine.
Black Friday Blackout: Dads Boycott the Consumerist Trap
Millions vow an “economic blackout” through Cyber Monday, starving megacorps to reclaim family time and local roots.
Organized by anti-globalist networks, the nationwide no-shop, no-work protest hits today, railing against Trump’s “cheap groceries” spin as a Walmart trap that props up financialization over farmers and small biz. It’s a stand against the pharma-state’s holiday sedation push.
Localism wins: Parish potlucks beat Amazon hauls, neighbor trades beat debt-fueled splurges. Building fruitful families means sacrificing the machine’s script for Christ-loyal simplicity—babies and fairs over Black Friday frenzy.
Assisted Suicide Bills Spread Like Cancer in Statehouses
Womb-to-tomb betrayal: More states eye “dignity in dying” laws to warehouse the elderly like the unborn.
The World and Everything in It podcast flags fresh pushes in blue strongholds for euthanasia expansions, rebranding mercy killing as “choice” while pro-life warriors decry it as the same eugenic rot that aborts the disabled.
Human life is sacred, period—no throwaway grandparents any more than disposable babies. This assaults fatherly duty to protect the weak, eroding the generational chain. A sane America chooses churches and care over quiet death panels.
Commentary
America First Starts At Home
We’ve got our work cut out: Tariffs biting globalists, borders hardening, life defended from cradle to grave. But here’s the eternalist truth—America First isn’t just policy; it’s the bulwark for the homes, parishes, and bloodlines we fight to pass down.
Tucker Carlson nailed it years ago: A sovereign nation ditches empire’s distractions—endless wars, UN busybodies, corporate overlords—to pour resources into its own soil. Secure frontiers mean no migrant caravans draining schools and hospitals, freeing up the bandwidth for dads to lead without apology. An economy that honors tradesmen and homesteaders over Wall Street vampires? That’s fertile ground for many children, not debt peonage. No more shipping jobs to China while pharma sedates our elders; instead, local fairs where kids learn neighborliness, faith sticks, and communities knit tight.
Stronger towns birth stronger families—rooted, sacrificial, Christ-centered. When Washington’s not the center of gravity, God, wife, kids, and land reclaim theirs. It’s postliberal realism: Ordered freedom under heaven, building quiet counter-elites our great-grandkids inherit with gratitude, not curses. The machine corrodes; sovereignty renews. Dads, lead on.
The Daily Table – Week 1
Tuesday – Saints & heroes
Title: Learning From Saint Joseph
Quote: “When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him.” - Matthew 1:24
Reflection: Saint Joseph doesn’t say a single word in Scripture. But he does a lot. He listens to God, he protects Mary and Jesus, he works with his hands, he moves his family when danger comes. In a noisy world, Joseph reminds dads that holiness is often quiet, steady obedience. Kids don’t need a flashy superhero dad. They need a father who, like Joseph, hears God’s voice and then actually acts on it, even when it means changing plans or taking a harder road.
Table question: “What do you think made Saint Joseph a good dad and husband? Which of those things would you like to copy?”
Prayer: “Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for me as I try to be a good father. Help our family listen to God and obey Him like you did. Amen.”
Thanks for reading and God Bless,
Greg @ The Dissident Dad
