By Tom Quiner | February 11, 2023

Schools don’t teach this during Black History Month

By Tom Quiner | February 14, 2022

By TOM QUINER Poverty is largely a function of family structure, as you can see in the graphic above. You can see the inverse relationship between the out-of-wedlock birth rate and median income. In other words, poverty isn’t driven by racism; it’s driven by family structure. Marriage is the ultimate path to healthier, happier families, which is why Pulse Life Advocates has created The Holy Family Project, which launches March…

Is Western Civilization Worth Saving?

By Tom Quiner | February 10, 2022

Saint Mother Teresa posed a provocative question: “… if a mother can kill her own unborn baby, what is left of Western civilization to save?” There’s no question that Western civilization is under attack. ‘Western Civ’ is a decreasingly required course in institutions of higher learning.

Google silences pro-life voices

By Tom Quiner | February 9, 2021

By Iowans for LIFE Did Google swing the election? We typed this sentence into Google’s search engine. The first result referred to the 2016 election, and was published on October 25th, 2016.

Neither result referred to the search terms we used, this from the search engine that…
