“A man’s what God made you to be, son. So be that, and while you’re at it, you might as well go ahead and be the best one you can be.”

So embarks Jack Zulu on his latest quest to protect, defend and lead amidst warring worlds and against an egomaniacal supervillain intent on converting Jack to his dark and complete tyranny, testing Jack’s physical, psychological, and spiritual strength in withstanding the promise of shared power.

The second book in the Jack Zulu series, Jack Zulu and the Girl with Golden Wings, is a compelling, action-packed fantasy, wherein strong, Christian characters fight to overpower evil and destructive forces intent on overtaking the worlds.

Crafted by seasoned storyteller, author S.D. Smith of the bestselling Green Ember series, and his son J.C. Smith, the Girl with Golden Wings picks up two years after the first book in the series, Jack Zulu and the Waylander’s Key, ends.

While Jack has officially earned hero status in the Wayland, the world between worlds that connects his small hometown of Myrtle, West Virginia to lands undiscovered by many earth-walkers, he is still riddled with self-doubt and despondency over his internal struggles with pride and power.

Jack’s struggle is amplified by greater self-discovery. He learns that his choices directly impact the future and destiny of the worlds, and he must carve out his own path to fulfill an unforeseen purpose, without the guidance and strong hand of his father, whose death remains shrouded in mystery.

For LGBT activists and media, what’s “offensive” can fluctuate based on the political season. Never shy to provide relevant examples, LGBT media demonstrated their dedication to hypocrisy and hierarchy just this week.

In a glowing interview with President Joe Biden, the Washington Blade, a legacy LGBT news source, gasped, “Writing about President Joe Biden’s legacy is difficult without the distance and time required to assess a leader of his stature, but what becomes clear from talking with him is the extent to which his views on LGBTQ rights come from the heart.”

From there it would seem Biden was the single greatest gift to LGBT-identifying Americans, honoring his administration as the most pro-LGBT in American history. Speaking of LGBT Americans, Biden said, “[M]ost of the openly gay people that have worked with me, that I’ve worked with, the one advantage they have is they tend to have more courage than most people have.”

Biden has the greatest “respect and admiration” for LGBT people. He argued, “[A]ll the LGBTQ+ people that have worked for me or with me have reinforced my view that it’s not what your sexual preference is, it’s what your intellectual capacity is and what your courage is.”

But wait a minute. Did Biden just refer to LGBT people as having a “sexual preference?” In 2020, when then-Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett innocently uttered the same phrase, it became a national controversy. LGBTQ Nation, using that quote as its subheading for an article praising the president, demanded

A tax-funded Wisconsin organization trained daycare workers to teach infants and toddlers to participate in violent partisan protests and support abolishing the police.

Daycare workers who participated in an April training from the tax-funded organization Wisconsin Early Childhood Association (WECA) received “diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging” kits worth $600 each that included board books teaching babies race hatred and gender dysphoria. The kit came to light this week when a daycare owner who received one went public with what she found inside.

In the training, an author of three of the books in the kit, Megan Madison, told daycare workers that “the color-blind approach” to race “is ineffective and potentially harmful.” Madison cohosted the training with WECA’s diversity director, Tanya Johnson.

Any organization that receives federal funds risks violating federal antidiscrimination law by disparaging Americans based on their race, said Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty attorney Dan Lennington. WECA is essentially a clearing house for taxpayer funds, directing it to daycares for food welfare, daycare worker training, and more.

Johnson opened the training by stating her pronouns and giving a “land acknowledgment” that asserted parts of the United States actually belong to tribal peoples whom U.S. armed forces conquered long ago.

“We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we are holding this training, the traditional land of Ho-Chunk Nation,” she claimed. “Today we recognize and honor with gratitude both the land and the indigenous people who live and who continue to live on the land now called the
