Majority Of Gen Z Men Want More Restrictions For Online Porn, Poll Finds
Although he was surprised by the results, Wilcox said "This study is encouraging if it leads more young men to stay away from pornography."Although he was surprised by the results, Wilcox said "This study is encouraging if it leads more young men to stay away from pornography."The REAL reason Zohran Mamdani — Marxist, Muslim nutcase — won the NYC mayoral primary
Andrew Cuomo is from the New York ruling family of Democrats, and yet that wasn’t enough to stop socialist Zohran Mamdani from winning the Democratic primary for mayor in New York City.
“Zohran Mamdani won by a lot. It wasn’t even close,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
"It’s not because he’s charismatic. It’s not because he gets the problems of New Yorkers. It’s not because he ran some phenomenal campaign. It’s none of that,” she explains.
“It’s because of the demographic of voters who voted for him,” she adds.
Of the registered voters in New York City, 65% of them are Democrat, while only 11% are Republican, and 21.1% are Independent. And of the 5.1 million registered voters in New York City, the average age is 49, which is the tail end of the Millennial generation.
Between 750,000 and 850,000 of those 5.1 million are Gen Z, which is between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. Between 1.6 and 1.8 million of the 5.1 million are between the ages of 30 and 49.
“That means that 2.5 million of New York City’s registered voters ... are what I call ‘indoctrinated kids,’” Wheeler explains. “If you look at the breakdown of who voted for Zohran Mamdani, you will find that it was white college-educated liberals who voted for Zohran Mamdani, versus the working class, who voted for Andrew Cuomo.”
“What happened is they exported the radical leftist ideology in which they were indoctrinated into the real world; they brought it with them. And so when I say ‘indoctrinated kids,’ I’m talking about the Millennial generation,” she continues.
“Now, when we’re talking about Gen Z, the problem has only been exacerbated. It is exponentially worse now on college campuses. It’s not just discrimination against conservatives. It’s not just, ‘Oh, you’re going to be a liberal by the time you leave.’ It is outright hatred of America,” she explains.
“It’s embracing socialism and Marxism and communism, rejecting God, rejecting family, rejecting natural law. Children who are sent to college now have a high likelihood of coming out of it revolutionary. And so when I use this phrase ‘indoctrinated kids,’” she adds, “they are voting for what they were taught is right.”

Gen Zers Who Watched BLM Burn Down The Country Have No Sympathy For L.A. Riots
Gen Z teens have been force-fed the most radical version of liberalism, and it has dried up their empathy.Gen Z is taking 'Adulting 101' classes — is it as dumb as it sounds?
Universities are capitalizing on Gen Z's apparent lack of knowledge of budgeting, personal health, and general happiness, offering classes to fill in the gaps.
Generation Z, typically referred to as those who were born between 1997 and 2012, apparently need help with "adulting."
According to the University of California, Riverside, "adulting" encompasses learning how to succeed with basic needs, being ready for a career, and learning "financial wellness."
'Navigate the complexities of everyday life as an independent adult.'
Not only is UC Riverside teaching the youth how to adult but so are at least four other institutions.
Newsweek reported Michigan State University and nonprofit JCI Santa Clarita have similar classes, while CBC News reported on two Canadian universities that are doing the same.

Michigan State held monthly seminars in 2024 to "conquer real life skills" like resume writing, building credit, and building healthy relationships. Even cooking basics and making jellies and jams made the cut for the "Adulting 101" course.
In a comment to Newsweek, a spokesperson for Michigan State said the main goal of the program is to provide resources that help teens and young adults "navigate the complexities of everyday life as an independent adult."
"We have found some of the most popular classes relate to financial literacy: credit, investing, banking, and budgeting," the spokesperson added, noting that attendance ranges from 50 to 1,000 people per session.
UC Riverside had a more charitable spirit for their "Adulting 101: IRL Program."
Some participants were given a $500 grant after attending the program, which was even made available to veterans, student parents, and homeless people.
In March, JCI Santa Clarita offered high school seniors and juniors the opportunity to take on a fictional identity with a career and salary.
"Students decide if they want to max out their budget or be frugal while facing surprise situations like coming into extra cash or having to cover an unexpected expense," the listing read.
That program was called "Get Real: Adulting 101."
RELATED: Democrats to spend $20 million to study how young men talk and what content they like: Report
At the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, the "Adulting Guide" lists prioritizing one's "mental and physical self" as the No. 1 skill an adult needs. This is followed by healthy eating and maintaining a tidy living space.
At Toronto Metropolitan University — which changed its name in 2022 over vague notions of colonialism and diversity — a freshman student explained how his adulting course has helped him.
"I don't know how to change a tire. I don't have a car at all. I don't know how to sew. I don't know how to do a lot of things, other than cooking," student Aldhen Garcia told CBC.
Garcia said he thought it was important to teach financial literacy to children because "a lot of stuff involves money."

Democrats to spend $20 million to study how young men talk and what content they like: Report
The Democratic Party will spend millions to find out why its messaging has increasingly failed with young male voters, especially in the 2024 election.
A report from the New York Times revealed the outlet had obtained a financial document circulating among Democrat donors about the proposed $20 million effort, which the party hoped would crack the code regarding its flailing support among young men.
'Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone.'
The prospectus was named "Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan," or "SAM" for short. The eight-figure investment promised to find out how young males talk to each other and what attracts them in terms of content.
The document recommended a focus on online initiatives, including buying advertisements in video games and studying "the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces."
The document also allegedly urged Democrats to stop speaking to male voters from a position of moral authority.
"Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone," it stated.
RELATED: The Democratic Party is not dying — it’s evolving
A comprehensive analysis on the shift of young voters in the 2024 presidential election revealed that while voters ages 18-24 favored Vice President Kamala Harris over President Trump by 10 points, that gap shrunk from a 29-point advantage in favor of President Biden in 2020.
For young voters, categorized as ages 18-29, Democrats lost ground in every major category in 2024.
The study by Circle showed young men shifted to the right by 15 points between 2020 and 2024, resulting in a 56-42 edge for Republicans. Republicans also gained eight points from young women, moving up from 33% support in 2020 to 41% support in 2024.

BlazeTV contributor and conservative commentator John Doyle told Blaze News that while Democrats have promised big results to his voting bloc, the efforts will only amount to the circulation of funds.
"This is just a way for Democrats to pay each other to fake work now that USAID funding has been cut," Doyle said.
"The apparatchiks may smile and nod along and assure the donors that they, surely, can attract the young male vote since the donors are understandably concerned about it following the 2024 election trends," he continued. "But the truth is that there is no way to frame dispossession as attractive to young men. And in fact, the apparatchiks are offended at the idea that they would even have to pitch it to them, as opposed to them just volunteering for it."
Democratic pollster Zac McCrary told the Times that Trump's popularity has diminished since the election and that he's "pretty optimistic Democrats will have some real opportunities in 2026."

Gen Z addicted to skipping work — 34% have accepted a job offer but never showed up
Gen Z is seriously lacking in career ambition, according to a 2025 study related to job applications and employment.
The study compared the employment choices of different generations and found some disturbing trends among those born between 1997 and 2012, typically referred to as Generation Z.
'Is it any wonder that ambition is falling? Young people are disengaged and feeling abandoned.'
The job habits, career aspirations, and willingness to work remotely were analyzed for 1,000 workers in Britain, and analysts found that across the board, 53% of respondents would choose to work remotely even if it meant they had no chance of being promoted.
Another 51% said they would take a pay cut if they were allowed to work from home as much as they wanted.
Shockingly, if forced to work full-time at their job site, 66% said they would quit.
The survey found that Gen Z in particular has a chronic issue with purposely avoiding work.
RELATED: Church is cool again — and Gen Z men are leading the way
Over one-third of Gen Z respondents said that they have participated in the trend known as "career catfishing."
This entails accepting a job offer from an employer, but then not showing up to work on the first day, or at all. The 34% of Gen Z who said they have done this was almost double the overall average of workers who had participated in the trend, which stood at 18%.
The survey by CV Genius showed that in comparison to other generations, 80% of Gen Z said they had been compelled by increasing cost-of-living expenses to change jobs or relocate. For Millennials, that number was 76%, but only 64% for Gen X and just 38% for Baby Boomers.
Gen Z workers were also 35% more likely to be actively searching for better-paying jobs than Boomers were. Gen Z was three times more likely than Boomers to be seeking a job in a different city, as well.
A little more than a quarter (26%) of Gen Z do want to start their own businesses, however, which topped all other age groups.
RELATED: Big weddings, bigger regrets: Gen Z says ‘I don’t’ to wedding debt
English reporter Lewis Brackpool told Blaze News these trends are indicative of a greater problem with his country and that the country has been "hollowed out" through a steady decline overseen by the ruling class.
"Is it any wonder that ambition is falling? Young people are disengaged and feeling abandoned, and the indigenous population is being priced out, relocating internally, or emigrating entirely."
Brackpool pointed to mass migration as another issue that prioritizes the needs of corporations and investment firms over those of "local businesses or homegrown entrepreneurs."
"Stealth taxation, bureaucratic overreach, and unelected climate targets have been an economic and cultural disaster."

The party of democracy just stole an election from itself
Who could’ve seen it coming?
Just 101 days into his tenure as the Democratic Party’s youngest vice chairman — and the first “Zoomer” to hold that office — party elites have already declared David Hogg’s election null and void, a complaint that sounds suspiciously like “election fraud.” It’s the latest embarrassment from a spent political party that pales in comparison to President Trump’s incredibly successful first 100 days. If Republicans are wise, they’ll take advantage of the chaos ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Democrats are champions of the system until the system doesn’t work for them, even a single time.
The complaint centers on broken parliamentary procedures — the preferred excuse of weasels and dictators alike to undermine democratic elections — specifically, DNC rules mandating “gender parity” to tip the scales in favor of female candidates running against men.
In other words, DEI did Hogg in.
Hogg, who was elected to help Democrats win back young male voters, complained that “the DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort.” Party elites, he believes, want to “defend an indefensible status quo.”
The DNC’s procedural revelation came just two days after Hogg blasted his party for driving away young men who “feel like they have to walk on eggshells ... constantly because they’re going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated.”
Oh, the irony. More importantly, will conservatives capitalize on the blunder?
For years, Democratic politicians have told Americans that elections couldn’t be more trustworthy, that only they could safeguard democracy from MAGA Republicans and that their party represents everyday people over ultra-wealthy special interests.
RELATED: America is no longer a democracy — we're governed by the internet Borg
None of that is true, as this latest CCP-style election nullification reminds us.
Democrats routinely meddle with their internal elections to manufacture “victories” for party insiders, voters be damned. Remember the superdelegates in 2016 and 2020? Bernie Sanders sure does — the “oligarchs and billionaires” he complains about cost him the Democratic nomination twice by rigging obscure parliamentary rules against him.
Congressional Democrats haven’t accepted a Republican presidential victory as legitimate since 1988. House Democrats tried to nullify Republican election victories in 2016 and 2024 as illegitimate, yet called allegations of a stolen election in the extremely questionable COVID election results in 2020 “misinformation.”
As for protecting democracy, leftists tried to turn 2024 into a one-party election in many states by removing Donald Trump from the ballot. That was an inside job by D.C. operatives to thwart the will of voters, who delivered Trump a landslide victory anyway.
Don’t forget Democrats’ effort to nullify the Constitution with a “national popular vote” scheme to award all Electoral College votes to whichever candidate wins the most popular votes nationwide. In 2016, that would’ve meant awarding all 538 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton — even in states she lost or didn't bother to visit, like Wisconsin.
Amazingly, Democrats suddenly went mute about the national popular vote after November 2024, with Michigan Democrats quietly abandoning their national popular vote bill mere weeks after Trump won a popular vote majority.
This from a party controlled by a small constellation of ultra-partisan activists, agitators, lobbyists, and political operatives in the Beltway. Recall that Kamala Harris never won a primary vote anywhere — not in two presidential elections.
Massive dark money donors with strong ties to Big Business and Wall Street magnates bankrolled Harris’ campaign from the start. Even in California, she was the ultimate product of one-party machine politics: a mediocre prosecutor who failed upward at every turn by collecting enough party IOUs to earn a political promotion. Her promise was to govern as a figurehead for the faceless deep state cabal that the left no longer tries to hide.
It was only after Harris came into contact with real, flesh-and-blood Americans in places like — shudder — Nevada and Pennsylvania that she fell to pieces. Normal people, it turns out, don’t consider mindless babbling and cackling substitutes for ideas and leadership.
Now, those same special interests are behind the second Trump “resistance” to undermine the agenda most voters voted for.
There’s a common thread here: Democratic politicians and their allies attack the system as “rigged” and “unfair” when they lose. They're champions of the system until the system doesn’t work for them, even a single time; then they reveal themselves for the lying opportunists they've been all along.
Hogg, for all his inanity and gun control bona fides, was honest enough to criticize his party's toxic obeisance to the radical feminists and trans nazis who've made the world's oldest political party repulsive to young men (and most everyone else).
Hogg just proved that democracy cannot be tolerated in the Democratic Party. Dissent will be crushed with extreme prejudice. He’ll shortly be replaced by a gay black woman who pledges to enforce the party line, no questions asked.
Republicans should thank God for this gift. We have an opportunity to further expose and permanently defeat the woke mob while it's distracted by infighting, but that window is quickly closing. If this is how the Democratic Party treats its own “democracy,” America, how will it treat yours?

Church is cool again — and Gen Z men are leading the way
Amid a broader spiritual collapse, one trend stands out: Young men are returning to church in growing numbers. Generation Z, in particular, seeks structure, meaning, and community in a world fractured by chaos and alienation.
For decades, the dominant story in the West told of religion’s slow death. Church attendance dropped year after year, while “nones” — those who reject any religious affiliation — surged. But recent data complicates that narrative, especially among younger Americans.
The return of young men to the church is a cultural reckoning and a budding flower of renewal.
Gen Z remains the least religious generation on record, with 34% identifying as unaffiliated — higher than Millennials (29%) or Gen X (25%). Yet signs of revival are breaking through. One recent survey found that 31% of Gen Z attend religious services at least once a month, while 25% actively practice a faith.
Similar trends are occurring in the United Kingdom. A report by the Bible Society reveals that Catholics now outnumber Anglicans by more than two to one among Generation Z and younger Millennials. In 2018, Anglicans made up 30% of churchgoers ages 18-34, while Catholics accounted for 22%. By 2024, these figures had changed to 20% Anglican and 41% Catholic.
According to the Becket Fund’s 2024 findings, members of Gen Z attending religious services at least monthly rose from 29% in 2022 to 40% in 2024. Similarly, those who consider religion important in their lives increased from 51% to 66% over the same period.
Religious is the new ‘rebellious’
What explains the sudden shift? For generations, youth pushed back against the dominant order, and for much of the 20th century, that order was Christianity. But what happens when Christianity fades, replaced by atheism or whatever postmodern creed happens to be in vogue? The instinct to rebel remains. Only now, the rebellion turns back toward order, tradition, and moral clarity.
For years, legacy media and Hollywood told young men they were disposable — interchangeable, expendable, even dangerous. That narrative failed. And now, young men are driving the revival.
Historically, women filled the pews in greater numbers. But in 2024, that dynamic flipped. According to the Alabama Baptist, 30% of men attended weekly services compared to just 27% of women — a quiet but telling reversal of a long-standing pattern.
Men lead the charge
Traditional, structured worship has become a magnet for young men seeking discipline and meaning. Orthodox and Catholic churches — with their rituals, hierarchy, and deep historical roots — have seen a marked rise in male converts.
A 2022 survey reported a 78% increase in conversions to Orthodoxy since 2019. Catholic dioceses across the country have posted similar gains. From 2023 to 2024, some reported conversion spikes of up to 72%. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles alone welcomed 5,587 people into the Catholic Church this Easter, including 2,786 baptisms at the Easter Vigil — a 34% jump over last year.
But this resurgence goes deeper than doctrine. Churches offer young men what the modern world fails to provide: real community. According to the Barna Group, 67% of churchgoing adults report having a mentor — often someone they met through church. Among Gen Z and Millennials, that number rises to 86% and 83%, respectively.
Small groups and discipleship programs allow young men to wrestle with challenges, seek counsel, and build genuine friendships. These are exactly the structures secular society neglects — and precisely what my generation craves.
Cultural shifts have accelerated the return to faith. The internet may connect everyone digitally, but it often isolates people in the real world. Local churches still offer something screens can’t: brotherhood, accountability, and face-to-face contact. In a culture that demonizes masculinity and treats male virtues as liabilities, the church remains one of the last institutions to honor strength, discipline, and leadership without shame or apology.
A cultural mandate
Many young men today feel discarded by a society that marginalizes their natural instincts and virtues. Christianity offers them something different — a call to action rooted in service, discipline, and brotherhood. It gives them a place where effort matters, strength is welcomed, and belonging isn’t conditional. The need to connect, to matter, and to be respected — long ignored in secular culture — finds real expression in the life of the church.
This return of young men to the pews marks more than a spiritual revival. It’s a cultural reckoning. In many ways, it echoes the moral foundation laid by America’s founders. Though denominationally diverse, the founders agreed that freedom without faith could not last. George Washington said it plainly: “Religion and morality are indispensable supports” to political prosperity.
Today’s young men appear to understand what many in power have forgotten — liberty without virtue cannot endure. As America drifts, a new generation looks not to slogans or screens but to God — for strength, clarity, and the courage to rebuild what has been lost.
'The Circus' creator: 'I got to pull back the curtain' on Charlie Kirk
Mark McKinnon, political strategist to George W. Bush and John McCain and creator of “The Circus” on Showtime, was caught off guard in the last election.
McKinnon, who admits he was a “radical lefty in college,” was shocked to see just how strong the conservative presence within Gen Z was — and how these conservatives used platforms like TikTok to spread their message.
“Suddenly on TikTok this guy named Charlie Kirk started popping up everywhere,” McKinnon tells James Poulos of “Zero Hour,” noting that he “had a very conventional notion and wisdom about Gen Z and how they were, how they acted, and how they’re likely to act in that election.”
And that conventional wisdom was wrong.
“And then I saw these TikToks of Charlie Kirk showing up on these college campuses with mostly young men — but not all young men — but lots of them in red hats, and it got my attention,” he continues.
That’s when McKinnon decided to go to a Charlie Kirk rally in Atlanta, Georgia.
“It was fascinating. It was really interesting, and it really opened my mind about what was happening with that cohort, for one thing. But also Kirk himself,” he says, “was very diplomatic and very cordial to me and invited me in.”
“I got to pull back the curtain and saw the whole operation and how it worked, and you know, his model is really interesting because he invited these crowds just all through social media,” he continues, noting that you couldn’t walk through the plaza the rally was held in because it “was so packed.”
Not only was it packed, but Kirk made sure to answer “every single question that was asked.”
Kirk even chose questions from clear leftists over those who were wearing red hats, despite being non-confrontational.
“Charlie’s a fascinating case,” Poulos comments. “Coming out of that kind of Ben Shapiro moment where it was like, ‘Click to watch the libtards get destroyed with facts and logic,’ you know, Charlie went in a slightly different direction.”
