On surrogacy, conservatives must speak the truth: ‘You can be a really good dad, but you’ll never be a mom’



Fox News political analyst Guy Benson is receiving congratulations from across conservative media after announcing the birth of his daughter, Madison Halsey.

“She’s here, and she’s perfect,” Benson wrote in a post that quickly racked up more than 10,000 likes.

“We are blessed and overjoyed to welcome Madison Halsey into the world and into our family. Our hearts are filled to the brim. A baby girl. We are just so thankful.”

However, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey doesn’t share his excitement.

“You’ve heard my spiel on surrogacy a lot, but when we create these children, especially in this situation where you are buying the eggs from one woman, you are renting the womb from another woman," she says.


“So you’re taking a child away from their biological mother, you are placing them in an unrelated woman whose smell and touch and heartbeat and body they get to know, they call home for nine months," she continues.

“And then you immediately take that child after birth away from the only home, the only smell, the only regulator, the only woman they have ever known and away from the biological mom with whom they share half of their DNA. We are treating that child worse than we treat kittens and puppies,” she adds.

For kittens and puppies, the natural bond between a mother and her litter is respected.

“But for some reason, when it comes to human babies who are much more fragile, who are much less resilient, and of course as Christians, we believe are made in God’s image and so matter infinitely more than a cat or a dog, we say, ‘Eh, it’s probably fine,’” Stuckey says.

“It is the prioritization of adult wants over children’s needs,” she adds.

But it’s not just purposely taking children away from their biological mother that bothers Stuckey, noting that the entire process has “physical consequences for the child.”

“It’s much more risky for the embryo. It’s much more risky, or riskier, for the baby as well during conception, during transfer and implantation, during gestation,” she explains.

“But then of course, you’re creating this emotional and psychological, physiological risk too,” she continues, before playing a TikTok video of a man in a homosexual relationship claiming his son cries for his “mommy” despite never knowing his mother.

“This is very common. This is natural. This is instinctive. Somewhere deep inside, we want to know where we came from. We want our mom. That does not mean that two men who are raising a child don’t love their child,” she says.

“It means that they’re not a mom. You can be a really good dad, but you will never be a mom,” she adds.

Barack Obama Fathered Today’s Marxist Democrat Party

Barack Obama is no moderate and neither is his party.

The GOP is blowing it with young men



When Democrats lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump, it couldn’t have been clearer that a big reason for their failure was their relentless anger toward young white men — as they even launched a $20 million effort to discover where they went wrong with these men.

However, while this should have been what BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre calls a “golden opportunity for the GOP to secure the loyalty of young men for a generation,” conservatives are instead “setting the opportunity on fire.”

“In a recent Fox News interview, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, blamed the rise of democratic socialism on Gen Z. She said that young people were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth, called them lazy, and suggested sending them to Cuba or Iran,” MacIntyre explains.

Leavitt, who MacIntyre notes “married a millionaire real estate developer more than 30 years her senior,” only made things worse when she tried to defend her comments.


“The message to young people was unmistakable: Your concerns are not legitimate, and we despise you for expecting us to fix anything,” he says.

While there are lazy men in all generations, young white men have a uniquely treacherous hill to climb when it comes to success.

“Young men, especially young white men, have been systematically excluded from educational institutions, corporate hiring, and promotion. These statements aren’t just speculation or resentment. They’re provable fact,” MacIntyre says.

“We have the data. We know what’s going on. And this is the predictable result of decades of cultural indoctrination and civil rights enforcement that trained institutions to prefer women, immigrants, and minorities whenever possible. That has real consequences,” he continues.

“Men who can’t secure education, employment, and status are less likely to marry or form families, no matter how often our culture repeats slogans about equality,” he adds.

But it’s not just empty slogans about equality that are causing the rift.

“Housing has become another barrier,” MacIntyre says. “The average first-time home buyer is now approaching middle age. Young men can’t build wealth as their parents did or provide the stability women often want before marriage.”

“One factor is simply welfare for seniors. Many older Americans failed to save adequately for retirement and now depend on the inflated value of homes they bought decades ago. President Trump has explicitly said he doesn’t want housing prices to fall for that reason,” he explains.

“That’s a deliberate choice to sacrifice young men’s development and family formation to protet older asset holders,” he adds.

Karoline Leavitt rips Gen Z’s entitlement, but she’s forgetting one crucial thing



White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing serious backlash after suggesting in an interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News that many young people have been raised with “silver spoons in their mouths” and have had “everything handed to them.”

“Essentially she was saying that Gen Z was born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and that’s why they want socialism. And so then, because of the backlash, she’s now saying that she’s been taken out of context,” BlazeTV host John Doyle explains, before playing the clip of Watters and Leavitt.

“Some of these kids — and I call them kids because they’re in their 20s, and they’ve never had real jobs, and they’re complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive when you don’t have a real job,” Watters told Leavitt.


“Do you think that’s getting traction — complaining?” Watters asked.

“Unfortunately, I do, because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them,” Leavitt responded.

“That’s not the values this country was built on. It was built on meritocracy and hard work, pulling up your sleeves, pulling yourself up from your bootstraps, and achieving the American dream,” she added.

“Not to go full Gen Z-tard, but we were raised in the aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis,” Doyle responds. “We were raised in the aftermath of the COVID lockdowns. I mean, we were literally, from every moment in our lives, being spoonfed all of this crap about, yes, communism, but not being fed stuff about free markets don’t actually work.”

“More like, ‘Hey, everybody who’s not a straight white male, you’re awesome and beautiful and capable, and straight white males, you are basically like defective. You are something to be managed, something to be held to a completely separate standard,’” he explains.

Doyle also points out that the audience of Fox News is largely boomers, who are constantly fed Fox News clips of young leftists regurgitating statements like, “I want free health care.”

“That is not at all the same thing as the guy who kept his nose clean and went to school and got his four-year degree and is now applying and can’t get even a ... second-round interview,” he continues.

“It is specifically the plight of the heterosexual white male that is experiencing this,” he adds.

Fox Host Mark Levin Is Now Trashing Trump

'Stop trashing, smearing, bullying the little state of Israel'

A Media Watchdog Is Helping To Train AI Models. It Says Chinese Propaganda Is More Reliable Than Many American News Sources.

In February 2023, a few months after ChatGPT's public release, the media watchdog NewsGuard announced a new tool for artificial intelligence companies. The company, which rates the credibility of news outlets on a 100-point scale, had been selling its data to advertisers with the goal of steering them away from "unreliable" sources. Now it would license the same data to AI companies in a "machine-readable" format, ideal for training chatbots to avoid "misinformation."
