First and foremost, before we even get into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-63-the-dangers-of-birth-control-and-the-brazilian-butt-lift-epidemic-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the topic of birth control</a>, I believe there’s a natural guide inside of us, a spiritual discernment, that says this is probably just not a good idea. Right?
You don&#8217;t have a study to back it up.
You don&#8217;t necessarily need the facts laid bare in front of you. But something is already telling you ‘red flag, red flag, red flag.’
I had this same exact feeling when I was a kid and doctors were trying to get me to take birth control.
If you are a girl, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. At around the age of 13, every time you go to the gynecologist, no matter what you say is wrong with you — maybe I&#8217;m being slightly hyperbolic — they just offer you birth control. At least that’s how I remember it.
You go in to the doctor and you say, “My tooth hurts.” They say, “Have you tried birth control?”
You say, “I&#8217;m a little tired.” They say, “OK, have you tried birth control? It could help with that.”
You say, “I&#8217;m getting these migraines. “ And they say, “Birth control can help with that.”
And I remember thinking, ‘How is it possible that birth control is just the catchall for everything?’ It just fixes everything that is possibly wrong with you. That makes entirely no sense to me.
And yet I went on birth control for three months when I was 16 years-old because it became like the culturally cool thing to do.
Now, at around the age of 16 you&#8217;re taking health classes and you kind of have that systematic brainwash happening at that level of education.
They&#8217;re saying to you, ‘Oh, it&#8217;s cool. Everybody&#8217;s having sex.’ &#8216;The cool girls are the ones who are on birth control and their moms even go and pick it up for them.&#8217;
You do it to fit in. And that&#8217;s what I did. I felt like I did it to fit in. 
But after three months of being on birth control, I can tell you, it was horrendous.
I hated every second of it. I felt different. I&#8217;m very I&#8217;ve always been very in tune with my body. I just felt off. And so I stopped taking it.
Listen, I can’t whip out the manual and tell you all the reasons why birth control is bad for you. But obviously, a low-level of hormone ingested into your body every single day for decades is probably not a good thing long-term.
Do you really need a doctor to tell you that? Do you really need a study to tell you that?
Do you really believe what doctors tell you? No impact whatsoever? Really? It’s good for you, they say, because you’ll have the peace of mind knowing you&#8217;re not going to get pregnant. 
It was the same with vaccines. Did you really believe the COVID vaccine was perfectly safe and effective even though it was rushed? Yet, they suddenly wanted every single person to believe it.
That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about when I say spiritual discernment.
I&#8217;m bringing this up today because the BBC recently published a story about <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63863088" target="_blank" rel="noopener">women in Greenland who unknowingly had birth control devices placed in their bodies</a>. As the BBC reports:
<blockquote>Thousands of women in Greenland, including some as young as 12, had a contraceptive device implanted in their womb — often without consent — as part of a Danish campaign to control Greenland&#8217;s growing Inuit population in the 60s and 70s.</blockquote>
So, there&#8217;s this podcast called the Coil Campaign. They found records indicating that around 4,500 Greenlandic women and girls were fitted for this ‘coil’ which, by the way, is probably just an IUD — a copper coil they inserted into certain women.
Today, women in America are opting into the same thing and it terrifies me. How could you possibly think that it’s good to have something inserted into your body long-term? 
4,500 women in Greenland — that was about half of the 9,000 women of fertile age living in the country at the time. One woman shared how shocked she was to find she already had a coil in her:
<blockquote>I remember the tears rolling down my cheeks, and I told them that I couldn&#8217;t understand how I already had a coil in me … How could I not remember when I had it put in?</blockquote>
She believes it must have been inserted back when she had an abortion at the age of 16 — which is terrifying.
The entire birth control industry is so in our faces. It&#8217;s truly birth ‘control.’ We have a ton of women now struggling to get pregnant after decades and decades of being on birth control. Now they want to have a kid. Do we not think that by inserting devices and ingesting pills designed to trick our bodies into believing that they&#8217;re not supposed to have a child that there won&#8217;t be problems? That it can now have a child?
Just from a common sense perspective, there have to be more severe implications here.
And I know I&#8217;m going to get hate mail because I&#8217;m coming for your contraceptives. But girls, ladies, I just have to tell you what is in my heart.
So, no, I don&#8217;t believe in taking any of this stuff. No, I am not a doctor. And I should say, for safety, that you should consult your doctor and have him or her explain why it&#8217;s perfectly safe for you to put a copper coil inside of your body and to leave it there.
Or you could consult yourself and use common sense.

I need your help figuring out a mystery. A few years ago, my husband and I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-62-friday-files-internet-sleuths-i-need-help-who-is-brandan-roneel-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had dinner with a man who never existed</a>. 
At least, we don’t think he existed.
That evening has haunted me ever since and I am still searching for answers.
I am finally ready to open up about what happened and call on my internet sleuths to help me solve this case.
Will you help me finally discover who Brandan Roneel is?
In 2020, I received an email from Brandan Roneel. He wanted to donate to Blexit, had already donated to Turning Point USA, and asked us to have dinner with him.
Now, before we dive into the details, readers should be aware of the U.S. government backed-operation called COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program). 
It was a series of covert and illegal projects actively conducted by the United States FBI <a href="https://vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro">aimed at surveilling</a>, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations — mostly radical groups.
That specific operation is supposedly over, ended in 1971, but who&#8217;s to say they aren&#8217;t trying something similar now?
So we went to dinner with Roneel. We found out he was just 22 years-old. Then we found out he was an alleged genius, graduated college at 13 years-old, passed bar in California and New York, spoke nine languages, and he even ordered wine for the table.
At this point, nothing in my mind said &#8220;this story doesn&#8217;t add up&#8230;&#8221;
He was accompanied by his fiance who was a blue-collar cop from Arlington, VA. It seemed legit.
Then it got a little strange.
At the end of the dinner, he handed us a check for $250,000. You can see the proof of this in my show today — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">click here</a>.
After we arrived home, my husband said to me that this situation doesn&#8217;t add up. He didn&#8217;t believe this guy&#8217;s story and said there were red flags. I didn&#8217;t believe him — at first — I thought it was fine. So my husband and I looked into him online. We saw he had a website for his foundation.
But George said, “Nobody writes a check for $250,000.”
So we kept digging and looked into the address that was listed on his check. It was a WeWork office building. That was a red flag.
Then I looked into the &#8220;SoFi&#8221; bank which was listed on the check. The bank sort of checked out, but it&#8217;s primarily an institution for students with student loans.
I messaged TPUSA about him, started talking to them and realized he had told them a different story than he told us.
He told them his parents were dead, but told us his parents were alive. He said he was in a gay relationship, but told TPUSA he had just converted to Mormonism.
We decided not to cash the check and advised TPUSA to put a stop on the check he had given them.
I kept digging. I found a post on Instagram from the police department where he had given a speech. There was a slide in his presentation that said &#8220;WHO AM I?&#8221; and listed facts about him. But those facts did not match what he had told us about who he was.
He had told us he was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. That could be true — but we found there was a web page that had once been created but now didn&#8217;t work. That’s a bit mysterious.
At the time, the Roneel foundation did have an Instagram and there was a photo on there with Dan Crenshaw. That actually helped his legitimacy, but I still sent a text to Dan warning him that this guy might be a plant.
Looking back on it all, was this guy trying to get us to cash this check and then blame us for taking foreign money or something worse?
I kept thinking about that and it haunted me. It still does.
In June of this year, I checked to see if there was anything else updated on the internet about him. Well, <a href="http://www.obits.org/memorials/8222-brandan-roneel/life_story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to an obituary,</a> Brandan Roneel is now dead.
What&#8217;s more interesting is that all of the profiles and websites that I previously found on him — have now been wiped. It seems he has disappeared without a trace.
I looked for articles to find out how he might have died, but found nothing.
It is as if I had dinner with someone who never existed.
So my questions are:
<ul>
<li>Who was Brandan Roneel?</li>
<li>Was it just a crazy person playing “Catch Me If You Can”?</li>
<li>Was it a legit person who really did decide to just donate $2500,000?</li>
<li>Did really just die and was basically wiped off the face of the Earth?</li>
<li>Or did the intelligence agencies attempt to plant someone in our organizations?</li>
</ul>
I need your help in figuring this out.

Internet Sleuths, I Need Help — Who Is Brandan Roneel?

TPUSA

Today, you need to see a clip of Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-NC) who had a moment in a congressional hearing that must be watched.
You guys know I love a good congressional hearing.
I took part in a few and it&#8217;s always all a farce. When Democrats have these hearings, it seems they just accuse everybody and everything of white supremacy. It seems the main purpose for Democrats is to use these hearings to constantly keep the public fearful of extremism.
Well, sometimes there are moments in these hearings that become a part of C-SPAN history. Mace had one such moment when she confronted a trans activist who was testifying on behalf of the Democrats.
Mace is obviously a Republican, the activist was Alejandra Caraballo. The hearing was held by the House Oversight Committee, and the session was on — you guessed it — &#8216;extremist threats.&#8217;
Of course, today everything is &#8216;extreme&#8217; and everything is &#8216;threatening.&#8217;
And fortunately, Democrats invited a trans woman, who is also a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School&#8217;s Cyberlaw Clinic, to speak at the meeting. The title of her talk was “Confronting White Supremacy (Part VII): The Evolution of Anti-Democratic Extremist Groups and the Ongoing Threat to Democracy.&#8221;
Well, that&#8217;s an interesting person for Democrats to choose to testify. They must have thought, &#8216;Oh, Caraballo went to Harvard Law … must be somebody who can talk to us about the evolution of extremism.&#8217;
Caraballo did talk a lot about online threats and so guess what Mace did? She used Caraballo’s own tweets to completely dismantle the Left. Here’s how it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-congresswoman-grills-trans-activist-during-hearing-over-call-to-accost-supreme-court-justices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported by The Daily Wire:</a>
Mace asked all the witnesses called by the Democrat-controlled committee if rhetoric on social media was a problem or a threat to U.S. democracy. All the witnesses answered, “yes.”
Mace then asked if rhetoric targeting officials with violence presented a threat to U.S. democracy. Again, all the witnesses responded, “yes.”
Mace then pulled up old tweets from Caraballo after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in which Caraballo wrote highly inflammatory remarks.
<blockquote>“The 6 justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again,” Caraballo tweeted. “It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Since women don’t have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again.”</blockquote>
“I have a question — yes or no,&#8221; Mace asked, &#8220;Do you believe your rhetoric is a threat to democracy when you’re calling to accost a branch of government, the Supreme Court?”
“I don’t believe that’s a correct characterization of my statements,” Caraballo claimed.
“Did you not tweet that?” Mace asked. “That you thought Supreme Court justices should be accosted?”
You can watch it here:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Watch <a href="https://twitter.com/RepNancyMace?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepNancyMace</a> destroy trans activist Alejandra Caraballo with “her” own tweets 🔥🔥 <a href="https://t.co/ignohVS6vH">pic.twitter.com/ignohVS6vH</a>
&mdash; Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1602732429843865602?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That is so good.
“I don&#8217;t believe that that is a fair characterization of my words,” said Caraballo.
Yeah, it is a &#8220;fair characterization&#8221; — because they are your words. Caraballo had actually deleted all those tweets before the meeting, but somebody in Mace’s office preserved them.
Which, as a reminder, you can&#8217;t really delete stuff on the Internet.
This exchange is also a reminder that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-61-the-paul-pelosi-attack-story-keeps-getting-weirder-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nobody is more violent than the far Left</a>. When we talk about Antifa or those involved in the BLM riots —we are talking about people on the extreme Left that believe that if they do not get what they want, then violence is called for as a totally appropriate response.
So Caraballo is sitting here testifying that the rise of extremism is happening in large part due to people online who are being incited by conservatives. 
Yet, Caraballo was telling followers on Twitter to harass and &#8220;accost&#8221; SCOTUS justices in public?
What a sick individual.

Love It: Leftist ‘Expert’ On ‘Extremism’ Gets Destroyed By Own Words

Cambridge Dictionary has officially <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-60-why-i-still-listen-to-r-kelly-and-michael-jackson-cambridge-dictionary-changes-the-definition-of-man-and-woman-pennsylvania-school-board-treasurer-says-she-can-t-vote-for-a-cis-white-male-candidate-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changed the definition</a> of “man” and “woman.”
We knew that this was coming, and it has officially arrived.
Cambridge recently updated its definitions of “man” and “woman” to include people whose gender identity doesn’t correspond with their biological sex.
The definition of “woman” includes “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
The example sentences say, “She was the first trans woman elected to a national office” and “Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth.” 
I&#8217;m sorry, what? The Left actually just eradicated women?
The Left really has changed the definition in the dictionary to say that there is no longer anything special about women.
Now, all a man has to do is put on heels and say, “I’m a woman!” and he will be the exact same person as his female counterpart, the argument goes.
Cambridge redefined the meaning of man, too, but one of my main questions is: Where on earth are the feminists on this issue? Remember those crazy women who were outside now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirming hearing? They were warning that he would threaten all of womanhood by being on the court?
Where are all of those rabid women now? Where are they?
Are they going to be marching outside of the Cambridge Dictionary’s headquarters? University, presumably? Will they be saying, “No, actually, the new definition is the erasure of women?”
How is this change a win for women at all? Isn’t this a win for the patriarchy?
It&#8217;s actually here, feminists. You know, that moment that was bubbling up when you kept talking about the powers that be having decided that women are no longer special and that a man can just wear some pantyhose and some lipstick and act like a bimbo — which is truly a caricature of what it means to be a woman.
To that extent, if you’re a woman warning about the “invisible patriarchy” — it&#8217;s transgenderism.
Across the spectrum, we see men who truly believe that they are women and choose to openly mock women by frolicking in the woods in heels, going on a TikTok, and being awarded awards that should go to actual women.
These “men identifying as women” are essentially in Halloween costumes. Maybe these guys watched “Clueless” reruns for too long and decided that the characters are how all ladies behave.
So I am just asking again: where are all of the feminists?
Let me guess. Those self-identified feminists are not going to say anything because you were never actually feminists at all. Everything they have ever fought for seems to benefit men. Do you think men take issue if a woman says, “I&#8217;m going to be naked! It&#8217;s freedom! It’s feminism”
No, I think they&#8217;re cool with you having your boobs out. That tends to be OK with men.
When feminists said, “Oh! This is about sexual freedom and women can have tons of partners!”
Yeah, I think men were cool with that, too. Many men are happy to sleep with you, no strings attached.
Men were okay when women wanted to work and earn a living — they can now sit on the couch.
And then, of course, feminists got on board with the idea, “Everybody can be a woman.”
Now, the definition of what it means to be a woman is gone.
It has been edited, which means that women no longer exist.
So, kudos to all of you feminists who are probably going to be quiet.

Cambridge Dictionary Has Officially Redefined ‘Woman.’ Where Are All The Feminists?

Feminism

Lately, when I get messages from my fans, it seems we are all trying to figure out the same thing: Why is the state placing such an extreme emphasis on our children?
Well, I think I have an answer, thanks to a section from George Orwell&#8217;s often-referenced book, &#8220;1984.&#8221; The entire book is supposed to be a dystopian novel, but it strangely mirrors our current day. For now, I&#8217;d like to focus on a relevant passage about &#8220;child heroes&#8221; <a href="http://www.telelib.com/authors/O/OrwellGeorge/prose/NineteenEightyFour/part1sec2.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in the book:</a>
<blockquote>Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it … It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which The Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak — ‘child hero’ was the phrase generally used — had overheard some compromising remark and denounced its parents to the Thought Police.</blockquote>
That&#8217;s almost exactly what I say about college campuses. Higher education produces graduates who are angry, intolerable insufferable, know-it-all children. It&#8217;s almost as if the purpose of universities today is to train these young adults to act like toddlers.
College students act like little children. They whine, complain, and protest all the time, and yet, bizarrely, they never actually take a stand against real systems of power.
They&#8217;ll get into the streets and fly a BLM banner or a climate change banner, and they think they&#8217;re disrupting America&#8217;s power structure when, in fact, they&#8217;re simply encouraging it to grow.
The Left&#8217;s solution is always more statehood and more government control.
How does this indoctrination occur? Well, they do it by focusing on the children much earlier than college. They also do it by turning kids against their parents&#8217; belief systems.
Throughout classrooms across America, radical gender ideology and radical ideas about sexuality have infiltrated our schools. Oftentimes, this is hidden from parents entirely, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mom-middle-school-secret-lgbtq-club-students-parents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">media reports</a>. 
That is something truly sinister. Its purpose is to disrupt the cornerstone of our society: The family unit.
There are many efforts today to disrupt the natural relationship that a child has with his or her parents. Parents are supposed to be in charge and have the fundamental right and duty to educate their children. That is the natural order of things.
Right now, however, Leftists are telling our children that it actually isn&#8217;t natural. 
When teachers hide things from parents, they are saying &#8216;Your mom and dad are backward. They don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing. Come to us. Come to the school experts on everything from medical advice to sexuality to morality to politics and things like abortion or the COVID shot. We are all in this together as a state.&#8217; Even when they don&#8217;t hide things — that&#8217;s the message in the classroom. 
And the children who march along and repeat talking points from their teachers, who push back against their parents, are hailed as &#8220;child heroes&#8221; — as Orwell put it. Parents who stand up against it are treated as villains.
So, it seems that the left now believes children should be able to decide to get vaccinated without parental consent, change their genders in so much more.
You can actually imagine in the not-too-far-off future, child protective services (CPS) could get involved in instances where a child wants to &#8216;change&#8217; his or her gender but the parents won&#8217;t let it happen — because they are good parents.
Since kids are already being encouraged to hide things from their guardians, it isn&#8217;t a stretch to believe that children would even be encouraged by teachers to call CPS on parents for not using their &#8220;preferred&#8221; pronouns.&#8221;
Not just with gender — but with other issues as well.
The Left wants our youth to be &#8220;child heroes&#8221; so that they indoctrinate them, turn them against their parents, submit to the state, and implement their agenda.

Why The Left Is After Your Kids 

Children

I&#8217;m just going to come right out and say it: I discriminate.
I&#8217;m already feeling lighter now that I&#8217;ve gotten that off of my chest. Yes, I do discriminate.
You know who wants you to believe discriminating is always a bad thing? The Left.
The Left is very good with linguistics. Liberals often take certain words and make them sound bad or sound good. For example, they make “abortion” sound as if it&#8217;s simply practicing “planned parenthood” — which implies responsibility. In reality, abortion kills children.
On the other hand, the word “discrimination” has become a dirty word. The Left says you&#8217;re not allowed to do it.
Quite frankly, I think we need to discriminate. I do it all the time.
How so? This morning I jotted down a few examples of when I discriminate. I share them with you so you can feel comfortable sharing your list with your friends:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">When I hire for childcare and for assistants who will be in my home. If I don’t feel comfortable having you around my kids, why would I employ you?        </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">When I choose restaurants to eat at or hotels. If a place looks grubby and unappealing — I’m not going to spend my money there. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">If I speak to a girl who says crazy things or who has a victim mentality, or if they tell me they &#8216;had a Xanax because they had a feeling,&#8217; — guess what, I’m not going to be friends with them. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">When I was dating … I once tried to date someone shorter than me, but it didn’t work. Everybody has their own preferences when dating. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">I also don’t want my kids to be around men who paint their nails or wear dresses. Other parents can say, &#8216;Yay! Let’s be accepting,&#8217; but I am not going to do that. If I see you, I&#8217;m going to cross the street with my kids, OK?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Any person by themselves at a playground. That’s a big red flag for me. If I go to a playground and you’re there by yourself — no kids, not meeting any parent for a playdate, or whatever —  I am leaving that area. Why would I risk having my kids near a stranger like that even if they look totally normal? There&#8217;s no scenario where an adult should be at a playground alone.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">I discriminate against doctors, dentists, and trainers. I don’t want an unhealthy doctor, a dentist with bad teeth, or Lizzo as my trainer.</li>
</ul>
Discrimination is a survival mechanism. We need more of it. You know what happens when you stop discriminating? Unnecessary victimhood. You place yourself in vulnerable situations that could have been avoided.
So when somebody gives us that feeling — as my mother used to say “the heebie-jeebies” — we need to lean into that.
I actually think that society would be safer if we had less tolerance and said no to certain things more. What’s happening today is insanity.
For instance, shouldn’t we as a society say “no” to Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition Sam Brinton? You’ve all seen Brinton — the Energy official who loves to wear dresses and make-up. I wouldn’t trust him around my children. There are many odd photos of him online.
Leftists and the legacy media saw Brinton and said, “Oh, my God, diversity!  It&#8217;s amazing. It&#8217;s so inclusive and we love it.”
I thought, &#8216;I&#8217;d like to discriminate against that. I don’t want my tax dollars to go toward that. I just feel like that person needs to stay away from me and my family. I don&#8217;t want them in positions of power. I don&#8217;t want to invest in that in any way, not even with my tax dollars.&#8217;
Well, if we had a healthy dose of discrimination, perhaps he wouldn’t have been in a position to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/selfie-own-bidens-embattled-gender-fluid-official-caught-cops-attention-with-instagram-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly steal airport luggage</a> from two women.
He’s been in the news recently because an arrest warrant has been issued for the controversial Biden administration official in connection with a second alleged theft at an airport in Las Vegas. Brinton has already been placed on leave after he allegedly stole a woman’s luggage at Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport late last month. Authorities in Nevada recognized him after seeing him on the news and re-opened their case against him.
In each instance, he is accused of stealing a suitcase from the carousel, according to police. He checked the suitcase tag, ripped it off, and then quickly walked away according to security footage.
Why? Because he&#8217;s a freak. That&#8217;s why. It seems he has a weird fetish involving women’s clothing — especially women he doesn’t know.
If only we as a nation were willing to practice less tolerance — like when we saw him wearing those dresses with high slits — this all could have been avoided.
All of this to say, ladies and gentlemen, I do openly discriminate against weirdos and freaks. I encourage you to do the same. 
It’s not always a bad thing.

Get your kids off TikTok. I tell people this all the time. 
I don&#8217;t even think I can have a friend who has her own TikTok because I think that I would just be drilling into her head at all times, “What are you doing? TikTok is for freaks. Fly your freak flag high.”
And <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-57-kim-klacik-sued-me-for-20-million-and-lost-chicago-private-school-s-dean-caught-on-camera-bragging-about-teaching-queer-sex-to-minors-creepy-tik-tok-trend-involves-realistic-baby-dolls-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on in today’s story</a>.
First, there is something called — you&#8217;re not going to believe this — called “Reborn Dolls.”
They are baby dolls and they look incredibly real. They are supposed to be” hyper-realistic dummies, treated like real children, given a birthing ceremony, and even have a heartbeat, according to <a href="https://visionhouse.eu/en/works/mothers-reborn-the-surprising-benefits-of-lifelike-dolls-100-women-bbc-world-service/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The BBC</a>. These dolls will run you about $1,000.
Why have they been created? Well, the deeper purpose was for them to be used as therapeutic aids to help women who are struggling with infertility, miscarriage, and/or loss of a child, as well as people who are generally just suffering from anxiety and depression.
Now, I&#8217;m going to give you my take.
First and foremost: I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a good way to deal with the loss of a child. I actually think having a doll and treating it like a child is going the opposite way.  That is the worst form of therapy I&#8217;ve ever heard. I&#8217;d like to read whatever document it is, whatever study it is that supports the idea of this being helpful for a woman after suffering a miscarriage.
That seems like exactly the opposite of what you should do. Fostering someone&#8217;s imagination and pretending they actually have a child can not be healthy in the long term.
So, what does that have to do with TikTok?
Well, it seems anything that is not mentally healthy in the long term — you can find on TikTok.
There are many women on TikTok who are going viral for their “Reborn Dolls.” There&#8217;s no evidence these women have suffered from any of the tragedies it&#8217;s supposed to help with.
It seems these TikTokers just realized they could buy a lifelike baby doll.
This one woman has even gone so far as to take this baby doll to the doctor.
In the video, this TikToker is seen “taking care” of her fake baby, saying,”She&#8217;s still running a fever. She is hungry. Yeah. She is really fussy. So we&#8217;re going to make her bottle again.”
She continues, saying, “The doctor gave us medicine for her, so we are going to give her medicine,” she continued. “I&#8217;m going to put her in her crib just so I can keep my hands empty. So we got her prescription meds. She, our doctor, a pediatrician, prescribed us some ibuprofen.”
You can watch the full thing here, how she proceeds to prepare the bottle and “feed” the doll baby. I only share this to prove my point:

Have you seen anything crazier than that?
Her baby doll has COVID. The thing that is really bizarre about this video — by the way— is that it doesn&#8217;t look like a fake prescription.
So I&#8217;m just very curious as to what she is pulling out of that CVS bag and putting into the real milk.
She&#8217;s actually purchased real formula — never mind that there was a formula shortage.
She&#8217;s not the only one on TikTok doing this. If you point out how weird it is or that the doll is an inanimate object — these women get very angry. In their minds, these are real babies and they are spending real money. I mean, she might even have already established a college fund for her child.
Who knows? How far does it go?
All I know is that if I ever leave this line of work, I&#8217;m going to apply to be her nanny. I can&#8217;t think of a better job. I&#8217;ll get into it with her. I&#8217;ll be crazier, right? She&#8217;ll come home and I’ll say, “Shhh &#8230; the baby just went to sleep. Please, no shhh.”
If we&#8217;re all going to be crazy, let&#8217;s just be really, really crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen keep your children off of TikTok. I don&#8217;t know how many times I can say that.

TikTok Is For Freaks. Get Your Kids Off It.

Social Media

TikTok

All right, folks, I am going to answer a question from a DailyWire+ subscriber today — as I do <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-56-why-are-college-educated-women-more-likely-to-divorce-their-husbands-is-celine-dion-s-diagnosis-a-result-of-the-vaccine-britney-griner-is-released-in-the-worst-trade-ever-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every day on my show</a>.
Here’s the question from Loralee:
<blockquote>“Hey, Candace, I&#8217;m a big fan. I would love your opinion. I&#8217;m about to retire from the NYPD and I&#8217;m leaving the woke cesspool that New York has become. I&#8217;m looking at Tennessee, but I&#8217;m worried about my 13-year-old son. I think it might be too much of a shock for him. He’ll be starting high school. I worry about the kids accepting him. Will they consider him a city boy? We&#8217;re actually from a conservative area of Long Island, but I think my area is becoming more woke every day. My son is shy and not into sports. Kids can be so mean and my son has his circle of friends. I’m considering letting him finish high school here and then move. Financially, this wouldn&#8217;t be the smartest move. But my son is more important than my finances. I would bankrupt myself before I put money over his needs. Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t come to that as I would just have to work. What do you think?! I have been looking online at houses in Soddy-Daisy. This sounds so peaceful to me. What are your thoughts?”</blockquote>
Loralee, I love this question so much because I was born in New York, raised in Stamford, Connecticut, and now I live in Tennessee.
Based on my experience, what I can tell you is that your concept and your ideas about the South are being influenced by your environment — a northeastern pattern of thinking, as I like to call it.
Coming from the northeast, I can say that we are so convinced that the South is a certain way and it just isn’t so. There is no community that is going to be more accepting of your son and who he is and more accepting of you than people who live in the South — especially in Tennessee.
I&#8217;m not saying this because of who I am.
You might think, &#8216;Oh, well, you&#8217;re Candace Owens. They love you. You talk about conservative principles.&#8217;
When people who were on my security detail moved in on their street — obviously they were not public figures at all — neighbors came to their house, dropped off baked goods, and welcomed them to the community.
One of the guys told me it was almost jarring. One day there was a knock on his door and it was a neighbor saying, “Oh, we see you have kids. We have kids and we&#8217;re just bringing you some cupcakes.”
It’s just incredible.
Something like that would never happen in Connecticut or New York.
You know Northeasterners, we put our headphones in and keep our heads down. We don&#8217;t talk to one another.
Yet it&#8217;s the exact opposite here.
For example, my husband and I became best friends with the people who built our house. New friends invited us to church with them for Easter. It is a very Christian environment down in Tennessee.
Also, many people forget that Nashville is a big city. It&#8217;s becoming bigger because people like you, Loralee, are realizing that Tennessee might be a better place to live. It aligns more with their values. Chattanooga is also a small city — which is close to Soddy-Daisy.
So I would not worry about your child at all. Children are so much more adaptable than we give them credit for. It&#8217;s usually we adults who are stuck in our ways.
So your son is going to be fine. You&#8217;re going to be fine, Loralee.
I hope I can welcome you to the great state of Tennessee. Thank you for the questions.
If you want me to answer your questions, send them to my email address. Candace@DailyWire.com or direct message the show on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/candaceshow/">@CandaceShow</a>.

What is your weird pet peeve? What is something minor that annoys you to no end?
They often seem silly to others, but sometimes these &#8220;pet peeves&#8221; can highlight real problems in society.
At least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-55-my-biggest-pet-peeve-and-my-thoughts-on-workplace-relationships-jojo-siwa-needs-to-leave-candace-cameron-burre-alone-protect-your-kids-porn-is-now-available-in-a-place-you-d-least-expect-it-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that&#8217;s the case with mine</a> — poor restaurant names — as well as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire host Matt Walsh&#8217;s</a> pet peeve of people who don&#8217;t put away their grocery carts.
Let’s start with Walsh’s frustration with people who go to the grocery store and then just leave their carts out in the parking lot. It doesn&#8217;t take much effort to do so, but some people are just lazy and selfish — they can&#8217;t even bother to walk 20 feet to the cart corral. They have no regard for other shoppers.
As Walsh says, &#8220;I truly believe that the entirety of a person&#8217;s character can be assessed based on what they do with their shopping carts after they&#8217;ve unloaded their groceries.&#8221;
His full explanation can be seen here:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The downfall of humanity is linked to your attitude about shopping carts | The Matt Walsh Show" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OZ02p6tn04U?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s hilarious, but he is correct: You can assess somebody&#8217;s character by these little mundane things that they do throughout their day.
Well, here&#8217;s my pet peeve.
Every single time I pass a particular restaurant here in the Nashville area, I fly into a rage. Why? Because its name is &#8220;Tacos 4 Life.&#8221;
What is that? &#8220;Tacos 4 Life?” Why is it called that?
I get super angry every time I see it. My husband asks me, &#8220;Are you OK?&#8221; because he can tell it&#8217;s bothering me.
And I say, &#8220;No, actually, I&#8217;m not OK. I just think they could have named the restaurant anything else. &#8220;Tacos 4 Life&#8221; is so childish. It&#8217;s something you expect to see on the back door of a high school bathroom stall.&#8221;
This happens all over the world with stupid restaurant names, but there&#8217;s something about that name that is so childish. It drives me insane. Yet across all industries, people are naming their products or business with made-up names that sound like something you would see on TikTok.
So, the other day I realized you can draw a direct line between Walsh&#8217;s annoyance with the grocery carts and my frustration with restaurant names.
That connection occurred to me while I was finishing up a book titled, &#8220;Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith,” by Bishop Robert Barron. 
Bishop Barron has a couple of tremendous quotes I want to share. These words help illuminate what&#8217;s wrong with America today.
The first quote is, &#8220;If God is a great gathering force, then sin is a scattering power.&#8221;
So, jumping off that, what happens with errant grocery carts or juvenile business names? Well, we&#8217;re really scattering both the cart as well as language respectively. Throughout the English-speaking world, we have abused language. On social media especially, language is mutilated and thrown around carelessly. It seems nobody has time for proper English.
Our country is filled with people who speak in colloquialisms. We have professors who say the rules of grammar are racist and that we shouldn&#8217;t expect black students to follow them. It drives me up the wall. I like complete sentences. I like complete words — so don&#8217;t put a number four in the middle of your restaurant name.
The second quote says, “In the elegant formulation of Saint Augustine, we have turned from the Creator to creatures, and as a result, we are wandering in the land of unlikeness, which is to say, a place of spiritual aridity.&#8221;
Again: We have turned from the Creator to creatures.
Don’t you see it all over our society? Something that was a creation — which is to say something that was full and whole — has now become sad or scattered. It has become a sin, it is something that has now become a creature.
And that is what is actually driving Walsh crazy at the grocery store. That is what sends me into a mini-rage.
We are all wandering creatures, suffering from this ubiquitous spiritual aridity.
Many people are just not whole anymore.
To further my point, I want to impress upon you the definition of the word &#8216;Arid&#8217;: lacking interest or feeling; lifeless and dull. Another definition is: exhausted of moisture; parched; dry; barren.
That&#8217;s what I see when I look around me, people who cannot speak in complete sentences. We see this same dullness and lifelessness in music, entertainment, and modern art as well.
So, since we&#8217;re lacking this wholeness and this fullness in our culture — we are now starting to embody it on the inside.
We are walking around like creatures who know that there is something missing.
So, I guess what I&#8217;m trying to say is, please, if you ever have a restaurant, give it a proper name. And if you&#8217;re at the grocery store, just put the cart back.

What Restaurant Names And Grocery Carts Have To Do With ‘Spiritual Aridity’

In wake of the criticism and scrutinized attention Elon Musk has received since purchasing Twitter — and for “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-releases-hunter-biden-files-tweets-deleted-at-behest-of-team-biden-exec-was-key-behind-censorship-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Twitter Files</a>” leak — he has now come out and said that he is not suicidal.
“I do not have any suicidal thoughts. If I committed suicide, it’s not real,” Musk said on a December 6 “Twitter Spaces” call the day after “The Twitter Files” leak alleging widespread coordination between Democrats and Twitter to censor certain individuals.
His comments are pretty alarming when you think about it — but perhaps it&#8217;s warranted.
If you&#8217;ve been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-54-when-is-it-valid-for-a-woman-to-call-the-police-on-a-man-my-experience-with-a-stalker-men-s-opinions-on-botox-filler-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listening to my show</a>, then you know that I have been covering strange deaths surrounding people who are perceived as a threat to the government.
For example, last week we reported on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-50-the-mysterious-deaths-of-crypto-billionaires-pedophiles-in-ca-are-being-released-in-droves-biden-s-drag-queen-nuclear-waste-guru-charged-with-theft-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto king who literally tweeted </a>that he was going to be killed by the CIA and Mossad — and hours later he was found dead in the middle of the ocean, fully clothed with his wallet.
So we don&#8217;t know what happened there, but Musk does feel that it’s necessary to say that he is not suicidal.
Obviously, Musk is a huge threat to the government, the Democratic National Committee, and various people involved in the alleged censorship operation.
We know the Left — in all institutions — wants to control the flow of information so that they can accomplish their goals and consume power.
So, with COVID for instance — social media, the government, and the legacy media all wanted everybody to roll up their sleeves and get a vaccine, no questions asked. 
In order to do that, they needed to make sure the social media companies are staying in line by censoring speech and doling out a punishment every time someone says something that goes against the narrative.
What happens next?
It seems every time a person gets kicked off the platform, a biased fact-checker puts up a link next to the post in question that says, “Missing context.” By doing that, these social media platforms wind up furthering the ends of Big Pharma, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In other words, the Left is basically saying you cannot question the science.
So, since Musk is revealing all of that alleged corruption, it is fair to assume that his enemies could come after him in some way.
Personally, I don&#8217;t think that they would &#8216;suicide&#8217; him.
I think he is way too big to be suicided. 
What I can see happening, though, is the FBI swooping in, taking all of Twitter’s servers, and then trying to impoverish him by tying him up in the legal system as they accuse him of crimes he never committed.
It’s speculation, but I could 100% find it believable. That is how they will handle somebody like Musk.
It sounds like Musk believes something bad could happen to him as well.
“Frankly, the risk of something bad happening or literally even being shot is quite significant,” Musk also said during Twitter Spaces. “I’m definitely not going to be doing any open-air car parades, let me put it that way. It’s not that hard to kill me if somebody wanted to, so hopefully they don’t.”
Terrifying.
And he also said, “Maybe I should be more worried than I am, but I think generally if you do right by the people, you have the people on your side.”
There is no question that the people are on Musk’s side. The bigger question is whether or not the government is on his side.
I think it&#8217;s very clear that the government is not on his side.
Why would they want to help Musk? He isn’t helping the Left censor the flow of information.
The Biden administration has already come out and said they are keeping a “<a href="https://video.foxbusiness.com/v/6316326452112#sp=show-clips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">close eye</a>” on Musk’s Twitter. They have launched a federal investigation into one of his companies — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-launches-investigation-into-elon-musks-company-neuralink-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neuralink</a> — over allegations that the company may have violated animal-welfare laws.
Across legacy media, Democrat allies in the media are already defaming Twitter as something dangerous and even fascist.
In reality, all Twitter is now is something that is not under the Left’s control — which is why they hate that Musk owns it.
So yes, I do think that something bad could happen to Musk — maybe not a &#8216;suicide,&#8217; but some other form of interference from our very own government.

Elon Musk Warns He Isn’t ‘Suicidal’ — But His Enemies Can Get Him In Other Ways

You&#8217;re not going to believe today’s story — except, of course, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-53-please-stop-asking-me-to-comment-on-kanye-and-everything-else" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you are going to believe it</a>.
The Defense Department has failed another audit.
Yep.
Once again, the Pentagon just can&#8217;t account for the trillions of dollars they&#8217;ve taken from taxpayers.
Why should they have to account for it? Well, we don&#8217;t know where the money&#8217;s going — probably to our politicians who keep supporting the military-industrial complex. So they could be just washing money and sending it back to themselves.
But we wouldn’t know.
This is their fifth-ever audit and they have failed it. They are unable to account for more than half of their assets.
But don&#8217;t be upset, guys.
The government has come out and <a href="https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2022/11/16/dod-fails-audit-cites-ukraine-as-teachable-moment-in-accountability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said that this moment</a>, coupled with the war in Ukraine,  is being viewed as “a teachable moment.”
I love that it&#8217;s a teachable moment. That sounds like something you&#8217;d learn in a remedial economics class.
This is a teachable moment, we can be better.
Never mind the Pentagon had 1,600 auditors who combed through the department.
The DOD says $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities.
They <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEPhJ3iQJ0Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can’t account for 61%</a> of those assets but never mind guys! It&#8217;s just a teachable moment.
Meanwhile, the American people are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-senator-suggests-adding-87000-new-irs-agents-will-give-american-taxpayers-better-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly getting more than 80,000 new IRS</a> agents to go through every penny you and I spend.
We are going to be held <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/irs-americans-over-the-600-threshold-on-payment-apps-must-report-it/">accountable</a> if we share more than $600 on PayPal. We’ll have to report that to the government.
But, wouldn&#8217;t it be wonderful if there was a box when we file our taxes where we could say, &#8220;I actually don&#8217;t know where that money went, but it&#8217;s a teachable moment? I feel like I&#8217;m learning from this moment and I can teach myself how to be better in the future.&#8221;
Why do I feel like if we did write that in when filing our taxes, we would end up in prison?
This is sort of interesting, because we&#8217;re watching. If there is one thing our government is consistent on, it is locking people up for tax fraud. We&#8217;ve seen this over and over again.
They make examples out of people for tax evasion and those who can’t account for millions. Meanwhile, the DOD can&#8217;t account for trillions.
It&#8217;s just a teachable moment. 
I don&#8217;t know why tax frauds don’t just use that when being put on trial.
It was a teachable moment for us. 
But more seriously, all of these shenanigans can only go on because we&#8217;re being robbed blindly by our own government. 
Instead, our leaders want us to focus on sex, gender, and race issues. The government wants you to be upset and protesting in the street when George Floyd dies at the hands of a police officer, allegedly. They want you to focus on the myth that police officers are hunting down unarmed black men.
They want you to be emotional, but not rational, about all of that so you don’t even question why you’re paying taxes or what that money is going toward.
I think we should not have to pay a single dollar in taxes until the auditors are able to figure out where trillions of dollars may have magically slipped away to.
Again, my perspective on all of this is that democracy is an illusion. It is just an illusion that our government is running the correct way and in order to clean up corruption, all we have to do is get the right guys in there. But when the right guys get in there, they become a part of this.
What&#8217;s happening in Washington D. C. should be considered a criminal enterprise.
This is why the people who should be serving in government are not.
Our government is filled with crooks.
They&#8217;re essentially just like Wall Street execs and it&#8217;s a shame to see. And that should be the number one story everywhere. By the way, trillions of dollars you just stole from the American people again. But you&#8217;re not going to see it covered much by legacy media.
Instead, the lapdog media is going to focus on something former President Donald Trump said, even though he is out of power. 
Let’s just run headlines of what Trump said and how it can be construed as racist or sexist or misogynist. Don&#8217;t worry about the fact that your government has and continues to steal from you.
But hey, it’s a teachable moment.

The Pentagon Failed Its Audit, But Don’t You Worry, It’s A ‘Teachable Moment’

Question of the day: Do you or somebody you love suffer from porn addiction? 
That addiction is ruining marriages and relationships, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-52-my-thoughts-on-porn-addiction-and-age-gap-dating-sandra-bullock-s-ex-jesse-james-cheats-on-5th-wife-tim-burton-s-addams-family-is-racist-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">porn has never been more abundant</a>.
I was thinking about this topic this morning because I saw an article pertaining to Sandra Bullock&#8217;s ex, Jesse James. They had what seemed to be a very beautiful marriage, albeit an unlikely one. Bullock is this very beautiful, glamorous woman — one of the rare celebrities who doesn&#8217;t seem to make everybody angry. He was kind of like the Beast with Belle in &#8220;Beauty &amp; The Beast&#8221; — a little rough around the edges.
Then it turned out he was a serial cheater. He reportedly received sex addiction treatment, and the two divorced. Bullock handled it very well and privately. She moved on in her life.
Now, James is back in the news because his new, pregnant wife has accused him of cheating. It seems he has cheated on everybody has ever dated or married.
Recently, in June of this year, he fell in love with a former porn star whose stage name is Bonnie Rotten.
The two were happily married in a backyard wedding in Texas in June.
Recently, Rotten <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/12/01/jesse-james-pregnant-wife-accuses-him-of-cheating-on-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted on Instagram a series of stories about her accusations</a>. She also said she knew people would laugh at her because of James&#8217; history.
My first inkling when I heard this was to say, &#8216;what are we even talking about?&#8217; He&#8217;s a truly disgusting human being. How could she marry him in the first place?
Then, I felt tremendous sympathy for her because the idea of being ten weeks pregnant and newlywed only to discover that your husband is having multiple affairs is awful.
That is difficult for any person to go through. As you guys know, if you have listened to my podcast, I am tremendously sympathetic to porn stars — especially, after I had a conversation with a former porn star who turned his life around and became a Christian pastor.
As he explained, a lot of these women who get into porn are desperate individuals. They come from impoverished and/or abusive backgrounds. Selling their body as a last resort. A lot of them are addicted to drugs, which is why they go into porn for fast cash. They also have a tremendously high suicide rate — which to me is very sad.
However, every time I come across a story about a man who has a sex addiction my instinct is to be repulsed. This is doubly true when that man is married. It makes me want to puke.
Our instinct, whether it&#8217;s sex or porn addiction, is to dismiss it as disgusting and nothing more.
You&#8217;re having sex with a bunch of different partners or you&#8217;re watching hours of sex online.
Most people are grossed out by that and shun the addicts.
Yet, we feel differently when we talk about opioid addicts or alcoholics or most other vices that lead to addiction. We want them to get better, right? We&#8217;re not so dismissive of those folks.
We need to change how we treat sex or porn addiction. So, when I read this article about James, the first thing that I said to my producer is, I&#8217;d like to get him on to my monthly series &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/taboo-with-candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taboo</a>&#8221; to have a long-form discussion.
Clearly, this man is suffering. He&#8217;s sick in some way. I don&#8217;t say that in a way to denigrate his character whatsoever.
He isn&#8217;t alone. 
Along the same line, sadly many young boys and men suffer from porn addiction. It is very easy for a guy to follow an Instagram model and then click away for something more hardcore.
So they start watching pornography in just a few short clicks. Then, the next day they just jump right to the porn website instead of going to Instagram. Their interests get more and more graphic.
That leads to pornographic addiction. They don&#8217;t discuss it with anybody because they&#8217;re ashamed.
Based on the discussions that I&#8217;m having with so many people, that problem is more abundant than society realizes. Despite that, we keep treating these people as deviants and don’t offer help.
We need to stop that. I want to be among the first people to stop it.
I want people — especially the men and women watching this show — not to feel like we can&#8217;t ever discuss porn addiction. It is a true illness. 
We need to recognize how often our &#8216;sex appeal&#8217; driven marketing or the content on social media helps drive this addiction. So many are complicit in this porn addiction. That isn&#8217;t to say we need to have sympathy for those who watch porn or excuse it in any way, but a lot of these individuals are victims of this addiction.
We need to have the conversation openly so we can help end these tragic addictions. 
It’s not going to get better if we keep treating these people like they are scars on our society.
