"Children have a right to their mother and father. Marriage secures that right. That’s why marriage is a matter of justice for children. Something for which money, or ‘being set for life’ will never compensate." . . .
"The internet exploded this weekend over the “scandal” that Elon Musk, the world’s richest man with a net worth of approximately $400 billion, has had yet another child, his 13th, with yet another woman, the fourth to bear his children. His social media platform X titled the trending controversy, “Conservatives Clash Over Celebration of Out-of-Wedlock Births” as opinions on everything from traditional values to the sanctity of life to single motherhood flew fast and furious.
"Here is the background, if Wikipedia is to be believed (very often it is not): Musk had six children with his first wife Justine Wilson. Their first passed away early from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and they subsequently had five more (twins in 2004, then triplets in 2006) by IVF, or in vitro fertilization. Musk and Wilson divorced and he went on to marry Talulah Riley (twice) and get divorced (twice), but without children. He then had three children with Canadian musician Grimes and three more (two via IVF and one via surrogacy) with Shivon Zilis, director of operations for his company Neuralink. He married neither woman.
"Musk’s latest child is reportedly with conservative internet influencer Ashley St. Clair, who revealed online that she gave birth five months ago after keeping her pregnancy a closely guarded secret (at Musk’s request). Musk himself, as of this writing, has not confirmed this revelation, but his silence on the topic essentially removed all doubt for the social media crowd.
"Some posters on X blasted conservatives who cheered the unmarried Musk’s and St. Clair’s baby for their alleged hypocrisy in lecturing others about family values. Some conservatives, such as Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, asserted that all children are a blessing from God (true) and that parents deserve congratulations rather than judgment, regardless of the circumstances under which they brought the child into the world. Many countered that, yes, we should celebrate life but not intentional single motherhood or sex outside of marriage." . . .
Vance to Europe: America Survived ’10 Years of Greta Thunberg,’ You can Survive Elon Musk . . ."Vance echoed many of the same thoughts from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth regarding European security.
"In other words, Team America: World Police is over. Europe has got to stop relying on America for everything because we need to take care of ourselves before anyone else, mainly because the most dangerous threats come from within.
"Vance called out Europe for not practicing what they preach. European Union leaders react with such glee when a country erases an election that didn’t turn out the way the EU wanted.
"They scream democracy but strike it down when it doesn’t go their way: . . ."
. . ."Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one off, crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no, this last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law." . . .
