Freedom That Unites
I. The Moral Crisis Beneath the Debate America stands divided—not merely by policy, but by principle. One side equates compassion with borderlessness, believing moral virtue is measured by openness alone. The other sees law and sovereignty as prerequisites for order, accused of cruelty for defending what sustains the whole. Both claim moral ground. Only one can sustain a civilization.

The Historical and Logical Case for Jesus Christ, the Son of God
The following is not an appeal to blind faith or emotion. It is a reasoned argument grounded in history, logic, and evidence. Whether one accepts the divinity of Jesus Christ or not, the data surrounding His life, death, and resurrection demand an intellectually honest examination. Truth, by nature, does not depend on belief to exist—it simply *is*.

The False Peace of Deferral
Full retreat simply to “keep the peace” is not resolution. It is deferment. Nothing is solved; it is merely pushed down the line to explode later in greater form. This is not peace, but rather an escape born of fear. It is not courage, nor bravery, nor wisdom. It is cowardice—immaturity disguised as civility.

The American Dream of Homeownership Has Aged (Literally)
A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows the median age of U.S. homebuyers has climbed to 56 in 2024, the oldest on record — up from 31 in 1981. For first-time buyers, the median age has risen from 29 to 38, reflecting how much harder it’s become to buy a home early in life. This 25-year jump marks a fundamental shift in affordability and access. Median home prices have surged to roughly $420,000, while the median household income is about $79,000 — far below the $110,000+ estimated to comfortably afford that home at current mortgage rates of 7–8%. In 1981, a typical home cost about three times the average household income; today, it’s closer to five-and-a-half times, and much higher in many metro areas.

I'm Not Normal, and That's Perfectly Normal
Why “Different” Shouldn’t Mean “Wrong” Chores can be fun! Work can be interesting. Relationships can be fulfilling, meaningful, even beautiful. But these things don’t happen on autopilot. They require thought, intention, sacrifice, and a willingness to change. They take real effort, and often, a conscious decision to engage differently than we’re used to. Yet so often, when I try to bring up new ideas or suggest a better way of doing things—whether it’s how we share responsibility at home or how we communicate—I get told that I’m just being annoying. That I talk too much. That I should sit down, stop stirring the pot, and just accept the way things are.

Cyanocobalamin - The Dark Truth About The Deadly Synthetic "Vitamin B12 Replacement" Found In Every Multivitamin
Why Is the Most Common “Vitamin B12” Supplement a Synthetic Chemical That Contains a Known Neurotoxin? In a health industry that often promotes convenience over quality, it’s critical to ask the uncomfortable questions—especially when it comes to what we put into our bodies. One such question is this: Why is the most widely used form of Vitamin B12—cyanocobalamin—a synthetic compound containing cyanide, a well-known neurotoxin?

The Setup: How Men Are Framed as Incompetent to Justify Control. AI-Generated.
Preface: This two-part article (<a href="https://todaysurvey.life/stories/the-setup-how-men-are-framed-as-incompetent-to-justify-control%22%3EThe Setup</a> + <a href="https://todaysurvey.life/stories/the-hidden-trap-how-men-are-set-up-to-feel-incompetent-in-relationships%22%3EThe Hidden Trap</a>) is a bit different from my usual content. It's actually two responses I received from an AI (Grok) during a conversation about long-term dynamics between men and women in intimate relationships. I'm sharing it for several reasons: it’s clear, direct, and includes solid references—statistics, data, and proposed solutions—making it well worth reading.
