The Foundations of America are Shaking!

The latest edition of our bi-annual magazine, Washington Perspective, is live! This issue delivers a stark, data-driven look at the crises eroding American life, and the no-brainer solutions being ignored by the establishment, but hey...what's new?! 

The time for ignoring these truths is over!
Is Marriage Back In Style?
America is in deep trouble: deaths of despair have surged, and happiness has plunged. This national decline is inseparable from the crisis of the family. Authors Chris Bullivant and Brad Wilcox reveal the undeniable data: Married adults are happier, healthier, and far more financially secure. The erosion of family and faith has created a devastating two-tier society
Why We Don’t Celebrate Kwanzaa
Uncover the political origins of Kwanzaa. This piece reveals the holiday is not an authentic African celebration but a modern political creation established by a self-described Marxist who rejected Christianity. The holiday was intended as an ideological alternative to Christmas to shift Black Americans away from their faith.
THE Q&A: The Affirmative Action Myth
Jason Riley exposes the dangerous policy failures fueling division. He argues that Affirmative Action is a damaging myth—it lowers academic standards and forces students into unnecessary struggle. Riley insists Black economic progress was strong for decades before these policies were introduced. The solution is not preferential treatment, but better education, stronger families, and policies that reward work.
Reality Check
Author Chris Taylor confronts the toxic narratives of today, sharing a critical truth: His father recognized that certain social programs weakened Black communities by disincentivizing active fatherhood. Taylor reveals the shocking consequence: the two-parent Black household rate plummeted from 76% to only 30% in one generation. He argues that Critical Race Theory and the "tolerance movement" are fundamentally flawed.
The Cincinnati Beat Down
Kendall Qualls tackles the explosion of youth crime, insisting these incidents must be seen for what they truly are: Symptoms of a catastrophic family crisis. He presents the cold, hard truth: When 70% of Black children are born to single mothers, youth crime becomes predictable. The only solution proven across history is the restoration of strong, stable families anchored by committed fathers.
Stop the Madness
Afrieda Baldwin warns that America cannot survive the cultural spiral that punishes responsibility, rewards dysfunction, and treats truth like an act of aggression. She confronts the three most damaging lies: that children do not need fathers, that accountability is oppressive, and that truth is harmful. Baldwin issues a critical call to action: Parents must reclaim their authority to save the next generation.
Can We Make Marriage Cool Again?
In a culture where relationships are disposable, the TakeCharge documentary, Marry Me: America’s Marriage Crisis, challenges the cynicism surrounding lifelong commitment. Directed by Sheila Qualls, the film delivers a powerful message of hope, reasserting marriage as the cornerstone of economic stability, human flourishing, and generational legacy.
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
In Minnesota, the achievement gap between Black and white students is the largest in the nation. Washington Academy, a Christ-centered school, offers a radical solution, providing high-quality, affordable Christian education to Black and Brown families. Executive Director Sheila Qualls shares how the school is transforming a new generation of children through faith and academic excellence.
