I do have a prayer request and this is hard on me. i no longer can take care of my cat. It has been so hard on me to take care of her while i have been sick the last year. Now i am having problems with asthma. i had 2 serious attacks in the last couple of weeks. once, I was scared i was going to end up in the hospital. i have been thinking about it a lot, but I can't have a pet anymore. i never abandoned an animal and it feels like abandonment even though i have strong reasons. i can't bear to put her in a pet carrier and take her to animal services. 

also, she is 13 years old, so it might take a while for her to get adopted if she does get adopted. i remember that there was something in the contract that I signed with the Toronto Cat Rescue stating that I should inform them if the pet is no longer with me. They have foster care. i wonder if someone can take her again into foster care and try to find her another home. i can't take her to a shelter, even though they will look after her and try to find someone for her. 

When I took her from her foster mom years ago, she emailed me the next day asking if the cat is doing ok and eating. i emailed her right away and told her she is ok. i even made it a point to get in touch every now and then to let her know all is well. i really hope a foster parent would take her and do the same for me: stay in touch at least for the first few days and assure me all is well. this is so hard on me. thank you 

The LGBTQ+ movement, like all ideological movements of its kind, relies on new converts to survive and grow. But data increasingly shows that LGBTQ+ identification is in freefall among young people – perhaps indicating that we are witnessing its collapse in real time.

The first rumblings of a cultural shift came earlier this year. A February Gallup poll found that just nine percent of Americans identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender in 2025 – a slight but significant drop from 9.3 percent in 2024.

On its face, that may not seem dramatic. But since Gallup first began asking this question in 2012, the number had only ever gone in one direction – up. That year, just 3.5 percent of Americans identified as LGBT. For more than a decade, the movement appeared to be on an unstoppable upward trajectory. Now, for the first time, it has reversed.

Then came perhaps the most revealing data point of all. Psychologist Jean M. Twenge analyzed CDC data and found that among adults ages 18–24, identification as lesbian, gay, or bisexual peaked at around 20 percent in 2022 before dropping to just over 15 percent by 2025. That’s a 21 percent decline in just three years.

Kaufmann himself made the comparison explicit, noting that “the fall of trans and queer seems most similar to the fading of a fashion or trend.”

...the information environment itself changed. Prior to 2022, major social media platforms enforced strict ideological conformity on this issue. Dissenting views were often labeled “harmful” or “misinformation” and removed. That created a distorted perception of consensus, particularly among young people who live much of their lives online.

That all changed in 2022 with Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, now X. Musk destroyed X’s censorship infrastructure, exposing many young people to arguments challenging the dominant narrative – and they responded. The timing is impossible to ignore. The peak and subsequent decline in LGBTQ+ identification aligns closely with this shift in the digital landscape.

The rise of the LGBTQ+ movement was rapid. Its decline may be just as swift. The only question now is what comes next – and whether we’ve learned anything from this grotesque social experiment.

Satellite imagery revealed a massive suspected oil slick spreading near Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, in what experts say could be evidence that Tehran’s oil infrastructure is buckling under mounting U.S. pressure.

The slick, seen in Copernicus Sentinel satellite images between Wednesday and Friday, covered roughly 45 square kilometers west of the island, according to analysts cited by Reuters.

The incident is emerging as a potential sign that Trump’s maritime pressure campaign is achieving one of its central objectives of overwhelming Iran’s export system to the point Tehran can no longer move or store crude fast enough to sustain normal production.

 The Islamist advance in America may have just suffered a major setback. We’ve been telling you about the situation in Texas, where we recently saw 48 new mosques built in the span of just 24 months.

Folks, this is no coincidence. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. That’s exactly why radical Islamists have established a foothold in the Lone Star State and announced plans to build sprawling Muslim-only communities. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has warned about Islamic Sharia courts operating in the Dallas area.

Clearly, the Islamists are growing more bold. But it looks like they’re overplaying their hand.

After a Muslim-only event was advertised at a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas, near Dallas, Governor Abbott stepped in. Earlier this week, he sent a letter to the mayor of Grand Prairie threatening to cut funding to the city if it did not cancel the event, which Abbott rightly said was a clear case of religious discrimination. No non-Muslims allowed at a city-owned, taxpayer-funded water park in Texas?

Folks, they say don’t mess with Texas for a reason. The city has now caved and canceled this Muslim-only event.

Governor Abbott scored another victory against Islamists on Wednesday when a federal court ruled that the Texas chapters of the notorious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) must turn over their donor and donee lists, as well as the tales of the foreign travels of its Executive Director, Nihad Awad.

Late last year, Abbott declared CAIR, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, to be terrorist organizations. CAIR, of course, did not like this. They sued to block the terror organization label, and now a federal judge has ruled that CAIR has to lay all its cards on the table.

Let’s see how this radical Islamist group is really funded! It probably will not be very good for CAIR… but it will be very good for America.

Texas, by the way, seems to be waking up. In March, a statewide proposal to ban Sharia law passed, with 95 percent of voters saying “no” to Islamic law in Texas.
