He and his wife Deeann have three children. Listen This is an audio podcast of The Dr J Show. Full video episode is available here. Readings &, resources below cut. Topics discussed in this episode of the Dr. J Show include Many "scientific", research studies are driven by, and corrupted by, an agenda. LGBTQIA+, apologists masquerading as scientists resist admitting the baseline differences in parenting results. LGBTQIA+, apologists add duplicate variables, because, if you keep adding variables, you can design your conclusion. 55% of children living under same-sex couples experience parental separation. There are professional pressures on researchers to ignore basic factors. The promiscuity &, relationship instability of the homosexual lifestyle inevitably leads to break-ups, which most harm children. Among homosexuals, "open", relationships of tolerated cheating is just "another way of loving.", SCOTUS’ Obergefell decision did nothing to diminish sexual minority distress. The fact is, neither hormones nor surgery helps mental health issues in transgenders. Even though a pro-trans study may be proven wrong, it still gets shared (cited) all around the world. LGBTQIA+, social media trolls create scandals and/or crises to discredit stu

Topics discussed include: All political battles are moral battles. We are in a national moral crisis. The Left seeks revolution–not just change, but the overthrow of the system. They don’t want the American order. Science separated from a moral foundation is technocratic tyranny. Leadership is service. To be yourself, you can’t be obsessed with being "equal", with everybody else. The sexes are different, not "equal.", Allowing everyone to develop themselves *unequally* is what makes society prosper. Resentment over our inequalities destroys societal harmony. Societal order focuses on mutually helpful relationships. Radically egalitarian societies always lead to disorder and bloodshed. Past revolutions sought to destroy exterior structures (church, government, society), but the Sexual Revolution seeks to destroy inter

More about MassResistance below the cut. MassResistance was founded in 1995 as Parents’ Rights Coalition. Since we were in the first state to see homosexual activism in the schools and “gay marriage,” we thoroughly understood the threat of sexual radicalism, curtailed freedom of speech, uneven application of the law, judicial activism, and post-constitutional government. We adopted the name MassResistance in 2006 when our role as the true resistance to tyrannical government became clear. Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr once described us as a “hardcore pro-family group.” We cover issues and events other conservative groups are afraid to touch. We don’t compromise with
