Choosing the rule of law over the rule of man marked a signal event in the history of civilization. Those seeking to implement “social justice” through the courts want Lady Justice to take off her blindfold so she can see the faces of the poor huddled victims of American class injustice—and rule accordingly.
Make no mistake [...]

The article published in the Chicago Tribune titled “Child support imperiled: More jobless parents seek break from courts” published on May 26th, reminds us yet again the struggles divorced fathers are facing as the economic strain gets worse. What hasn’t changed since our escalating situation is the unsettling view that divorced fathers that are “dead-broke” [...]

Disrespect and Manipulation
Humans are biologically wired for infidelity, we hear. Monogamy is an artificial lifestyle, they say. Men and women cheat on each other because they just can’t help themselves, right?  Wrong.
People who respect and value themselves don’t cheat; moreover, they attract like-minded partners.
Infidelity is a choice — as obesity, substance abuse, and ignorance are [...]

Fathers4Equality respond to recent comments by the Chief Justice of the Australian Family Court

Chicago, IL — In recent interviews on the Tyra Banks Show and CBS’s Early Show, Levi Johnston accused the Palin family of limiting his access to his infant son, Tripp. Whether or not his accusation was true, only the parties involved know the answer. However, Levi has brought to the forefront the real pain suffered [...]

Chicago, IL – (April 9, 2009) – In the past two weeks, the nation has been shocked by three cases of domestic violence ending in the deaths of innocent children. Two weeks ago, two Illinois boys and their father, Michael Connolly, were found dead in an apparent case of murder-suicide. Last week, James Harrison, a [...]

Fathers Are Mere Tenants
The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident. Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them. It’s as though the entire history of men was written on an Etch-a-Sketch [...]

Whether by disease, accident, murder or suicide, losing a child is one of the worst experiences a person could face. Another tragedy that ranks at the top of the list is having a missing child. Strangers abduct a small percentage of these children. Most are abducted by one of their parents.
There’s one type of [...]

Chicago, IL – The death of Duncan and Jack Connolly, two Illinois children allegedly murdered by their father Michael Connolly, touched many people’s hearts. I lament this terrible tragedy. However, as a fathers’ rights advocate and attorney, I regret that this case is now reinforcing the malicious stereotype of the brutal father, potentially [...]

Failing Institution
Marriage is a failing institution. There are some basic factors driving this failure — judicial and societal — but the bottom line is indisputable: For the first time in US history, across all ethnic groups, the majority of women are unmarried and 40% of babies are born to unwed mothers.
The judicial reason is quite [...]

Watching the Sean Goldman parental child abduction case unfold in the media has been bittersweet for parents of children still missing. All American parents with children abducted to foreign countries experience the same emotions and frustrations as Sean’s father David Goldman. He’s fortunate to have the help of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Foreign parents must [...]

My latest piece “Coulter’s Wrong on Illegitimacy Rates”, is on WorldNetDaily.  You can read it here.
In her column this week, “Goodbye, America! It was fun while it lasted“, Ann made a major factual error suggesting that welfare reform resulted in greatly reduced illegitimacy — our social problems resolved.
This rumor has been running in conservative [...]

House in Malibu
On a February 28, 2008, appearance on Fox & Friends, I said that a woman meeting a man at a party will assess his value to her based purely on his profession: “If he says ‘I’m a doctor,’ she thinks, house in Malibu; if he says, ‘I’m a teacher,’ she thinks, Chevy Malibu.” [...]

In 1990, National Association of Chiefs of Police treasurer, Debbi Chitwood, suggested that a program be put into place where age-appropriate new gifts be selected, wrapped and sent to survivor children at Christmas time and at the time of each child’s birthday in honor of their mother or father who was killed in the line [...]

Rubber Screwdriver
The nonstop TV commercials touting cures for erectile dysfunction paint a dismal picture of widespread male inadequacy. It’s as though every handyman in America is trying to fix his wife’s pipes with a rubber screwdriver. Nonsense. According to the National Institutes for Health (NIH), only about 5 percent of 40-year-old men and 15-25 percent [...]

Children often get caught in the middle of bitter arguments between separated and divorced parents during the holidays and are compelled to take sides. Holidays can intensify parental conflict and leave children feeling responsible during a time that should be filled with joy and wonderment.  Parents need to learn to resolve their differences before the [...]

(T)he honorable Dr. Daniel Amneus passed away … on December 18th, 2003. Like a somber mid-December storm, a great passing has occurred in this nation; quietly, and without fanfare. Like a dark rain, something important has passed us all, in profound silence. But that passing has meant something. I [...]

Martin Luther King wrote: “Nonviolent resistance … is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice.  Consequently, the believer in nonviolence has deep faith in the future.  This faith is another reason why the nonviolent resister can accept suffering without retaliation. For he knows that in his struggle for justice [...]

Apple Computer’s customer base will apparently be shrinking to about two percent of the population very quickly.

Apple just announced dedicated support for same-sex marriage, and a donation of $100,000 to kill Proposition 8 in California:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday showed Barack Obama ahead 50% to McCain’s 46%. The two candidates were even among men and Obama leads by eight points among women.
A rough estimate assuming equal numbers of male and female voters: Obama’s entire lead comes from the “gender gap.” Even when Democrats lose, their [...]

WASHINGTON – One million claims of domestic violence are filed each year that are false or unnecessary. Such allegations prevent the true victims of abuse from getting the help they need. Today RADAR, a victim advocacy group, released 10 recommendations to curb such frivolous accusations.
The recommendations include common-sense strategies such as requiring actual proof of [...]

It’s not the economy. Sure – if the economy was better, it would be good for Republicans. Everybody knows that, which is why the McCain campaign could never bet too many chips on the economy as part of a winning formula. Sure, the Democrats – including Barack Obama and Joe Biden – did cause the [...]

The family court system needs to be investigated,” says Paul Fisher, the Fathers 4 Justice Daddy Activist who recently spent three days 125 feet above ground on a crane in Ohio. Fisher was drawing attention to what he claims is family court corruption. “The mainstream media is ignoring this serious issue affecting [...]

Donald Tenn is a California father who says he “had to take action” for his young daughter Madison.  He started his fourth day this morning on a wet construction crane in Columbus Ohio alone.

They’re waiting until Governors Ted Strickland and Arnold Schwarzenegger begin investigations in the family court systems in Ohio and California. Starting their third day more than 100 feet above [...]

The Values plank of the Republican Platform 2008 contains a section on Preservation of Traditional Marriage. The gist is not new. The federal government has mangled marriage and family to the point of legally destroying the institutions and now they’re leaving their mess in the states. There is an additional sentence tacked on at the [...]
