Is the trans agenda contagion amongst our young people finally over? Is the whole LGBT++ virus dying? Eric Kaufmann, professor at the U.K.’s University of Buckingham and director of the new Centre for Heterodox Social Science, says yes. He has analysed data from several large-size, high-quality youth surveys and notes a decided shift in American teens and young adults moving away from identifying as either trans or queer. We speak to cultural commentator Glenn Stanton from Focus on the Family in the USA who has analysed the report.

The media continue to campaign for the legalisation of drugs (masqueraded as “decriminalisation”), despite not being able to win the cannabis referendum in 2020. And they regularly use their mates at the Drug Foundation as a smokescreen. As a Green MP admitted, they want to legalise all drugs. They also talk about defunding the police and doing away with prisons. What could possibly go wrong!?

We speak to Carroll Conley, the retired CEO of the Christian Civic League of Maine in the US. Carroll attended the Charlie Kirk memorial in Arizona. He shares about the atmosphere at the memorial, the impact of Erika Kirk’s statement of forgiveness, and the general response to the assassination which shook the world.

What has unfolded around Arise Church and its founding pastors, John and Gillian Cameron, is not merely a media story or a tale of internal dysfunction. It is an emblem of a broader spiritual and cultural conflict, one that reveals the pressures facing the Body of Christ in an age of ideological intolerance and moral confusion. To be clear, the Church is not above accountability. Leaders must always walk humbly before God and people. But accountability is not the same as vilification. Discipline is not destruction, and truth-seeking must never become a stage for public humiliation. What has happened to Arise is a cautionary tale one that exposes both the need for integrity within the Church and the dangers of a society increasingly hostile to its message.

Bob takes one for the team and goes to the official documentary of Jacinda Ardern entitled “Prime Minister – Elected to serve. Inspired to lead.” It is not so much what is included in the documentary that is interesting. It’s what was excluded that is more significant.

Good news everyone. Your fears were unfounded. 1News is not biased. You can absolutely trust them. That’s according to…. um…. 1News. We give you heaps of reasons why you should treat TVNZ’s report (commissioned by TVNZ and summarised by TVNZ on itself saying that TVNZ is not bias but not willing to release it in full) with the utter contempt it deserves.

It was quite the heading screaming across the Stuff website. But is it the students who are the extremists, or is it actually some activist extremist teachers who want to indoctrinate our children with their radical leftist worldview – and don’t like students having differing opinions?

PART 2 – THE PATHFINDING REPORT. It wasn’t just what was in the report that should concern you. It was what wasn’t included, the background to how the report was formed & the lack of natural justice.

Have you watched the exclusive interview we did with Israel & Maria Folau that we premiered at our recent Forum on the Family? At the time of recording this episode of McBlog, it’s had 60,000-plus views across our social media channels. It has since grown to 275,000-plus views in just 48 hours.
