- If radical activists and politicians want to use June to indoctrinate children with sexualized content, then conservatives should reclaim June for Fidelity Month.
- Conservatives, led by Heritage board member Robbie George, are reclaiming the month of June by celebrating Fidelity Month instead, dedicating the month to the importance of fidelity to God, spouses, and families, as well as our country and community.
- Moral neutrality on the issue is not an option. There is no middle ground on the traditional family if we hope to prevent civilizational collapse.

- To bring foreign relatives over permanently, American citizens must file immigrant visa petitions for them. An affidavit of support is required as part of the application process. Something similar is now being used for the fictitious “lawful pathways” the Biden administration has invented.
- Parole was meant to be used rarely; President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has been abusing a limited immigration power called “parole” to bypass the legal system.
- Someone who arrived illegally a year ago can now sponsor someone else to come illegally. And so on.
- Congress should act to limit Biden’s ability to abuse parole for mass classes and entire nations. They should also legislate some teeth into financial support affidavits used in immigration, by requiring a deposit, collateral or other consequences for sponsors failing to keep their word.

- The idea of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is to replace the U.S. dollar with a government crypto-token tracking ledger that could surveil and control every dollar you spend.
- Bureaucrats could prevent you from buying the wrong thing, from raw milk to gas stoves to firearms. They could stop you from donating to the wrong person, like we saw with the Canadian truckers. They could even force you to buy whatever a government bureaucrat tells you to.
- If Republicans want to prevent the introduction of a CBDC, they’d better scrutinize the two anti-CBDC bills before Congress: One would prevent a CBDC surveillance token from replacing the American dollar. The other would greenlight a CBDC by government-chosen contractor.
- The federal government has no business running a CBDC, even if it hires contractors to do the dirty work.
