I understand that people want to keep their jobs and want to keep their friends. But I want to talk about Conservatives backing off from the “culture wars.”

The left is trying to create a majority victim status. When the majority of people are victims of straight, white men, what happens in society? Everyone is aligned behind victimhood and the left builds a political majority around an inaccurate grievance.

The left never compromises on these issues. “Intersectionalism” means you need to be behind and support the left and all their agendas.

Conservatives need to speak up and take action with the culture wars or these things are only going to progress and become more common. If you want to see more of people like Bernie Sanders continuing to make demands against Christianity, continue to hide your beliefs.

If we don’t speak up, we’re going to see an erosion of our own rights and it’s not just limited to the social issues. Every time we back off on the social issues, because of intersectionality, we’re empowering the left on collectivism, on higher taxes, on government health care; because all their ideas are locked together.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.

Gulf nations have found ways to keep oil flowing through the Iran war, but the costs are mounting

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — When Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz at the start of the war, choking off sea passage for some 15 million barrels of oil a day, many feared that prices would skyrocket, cratering the world economy.
