FATHERS WANTED: TERRY SCHILLING'S NEW DOC PUTS FATHERHOOD BACK ON ITS PEDESTAL...

Read at youtube.com →

APP just dropped its documentary Fathers Wanted after an exclusive TCN run. Terry Schilling crisscrossed the country interviewing Bishop Robert Barron, Harrison Fields, Sen. Jim Banks, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Rep. Brandon Gill, Tucker Carlson and more on why fatherhood is under attack and what its collapse means for the nation.

Terry: "The foundation of any great nation is the family, and a critical pillar of the family is the father. Today, fatherhood is attacked from every angle. Critics deride, mock, and spurn it. This documentary puts fatherhood back on the pedestal it deserves."

Selfish men chase the next wine tasting or trip. Fathers build legacies. Watch it like the future depends on it — because it does.

HOUSE PASSES CR TO AVOID SHUTDOWN BEFORE MIDTERMS — THEN HEADS HOME TO CAMPAIGN...

The House approved a continuing resolution funding government through December 11, dodging a pre-election shutdown. It also passed a resolution condemning socialism — one 192 House Democrats voted against.

Lawmakers canceled the rest of September's session. They'll be back in districts campaigning until after Election Day.

The DOJ also reported this week that the FBI under Biden partnered with the Southern Poverty Law Center to spy on traditional Catholics, flagging them for "hardline positions" on LGBTQ matters.


Sex Is Real

CALIFORNIA JUDGE DISMISSES LAWSUIT CHALLENGING MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS...

A California judge tossed the lawsuit against the state's policy letting biological men compete in girls' and women's sports. The ruling comes as APP has helped 27 states ban the practice, with over 890 medals stolen from female athletes.

APP was first in the fight — starting with 2015 research showing massive voter backlash to gender ideology, then helping pass bans on sex-change procedures for minors in 26 states.

Terry: "Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without having to share a locker room or the podium with a man."

Join the Fight

The fight for fatherhood, sex realism, and protecting kids is winning — from 27 states banning men from women's sports to 24 states requiring porn age verification that SCOTUS just upheld. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% support for porn age verification (66% strongly) and 83% for app-store verification. These are the kitchen-table issues families actually want solved.

KAMALA HARRIS IS BOTH WELCOMED AND AVOIDED BY DEM CANDIDATES IN MIDTERMS...

Read at politico.com →

Democrats can't decide if they want Kamala Harris campaigning for them or staying far away as midterm battles heat up. The same split plays out on the GOP side with Trump's involvement.

Missouri House candidate Thomas Ross got charged with trying to plant cocaine in his primary rival's car. Fetterman dared Abdul El-Sayed to campaign on 9/11 with Hasan Piker for $50K — double if he brings his half-sister. Byron Donalds says the real play for young voters is a concrete plan for their success, not more lectures.

The Democratic Party is more radical than ever — and even the 2028 contenders D.C. is propping up keep proving how out of step they are with their own base. That brings the midterms into sharp relief, and the stakes of losses could not be higher.

ELLIOT PAGE COMPLAINS IT'S TOO HARD TO GET WORK IN HOLLYWOOD AS A WHITE MAN...

Read at Daily Wire →

Elliot Page says transitioning and claiming to be a white man has made it tough to land roles in Hollywood. The complaint lands as a New Jersey school district faces a lawsuit for letting kids socially transition behind parents' backs.

A California judge tossed the DOJ lawsuit against the state for letting biological men compete in girls' sports. Gavin Newsom fired back at Trump over the ruling.

Trump's team wants to strip tax-exempt status from universities pushing DEI practices based on race. CSU's DEI baseball coach requirement drew fresh fire on X.

Sex Is Real

NEW JERSEY SCHOOL DISTRICT SUED FOR HIDING KIDS' GENDER TRANSITIONS FROM PARENTS...

Read at foxnews.com →

A blue-state district stands accused of defying the Supreme Court by letting children socially transition without telling their parents. The suit comes after SCOTUS upheld parents' right to opt kids out of sexually explicit classroom material.

APP was the first conservative group to hammer gender ideology in elections starting in 2015. We've now helped 26 states ban irreversible sex-change procedures on minors. Sex is real. Kids are not experiments for the Gender Industrial Complex.

CALIFORNIA JUDGE KILLS DOJ SUIT OVER MEN IN GIRLS' SPORTS...

Read at foxnews.com →

A California judge dismissed the DOJ lawsuit targeting the state's policy of allowing biological men to compete against girls. Newsom cheered the outcome while Trump allies called it another loss for women.

APP worked with 27 states to pass bans on men in women's sports. Over 890 medals stolen from female athletes. 79% of Americans back these protections. Terry: "Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without having to share a locker room or the podium with a man."

BYRON DONALDS: TALK SUCCESS PLANS TO WIN YOUNG VOTERS...

Read at Daily Caller →

Byron Donalds says the path to young voters runs through real plans for their success — not empty promises. August jobs report crushed expectations with more than double the projected gains.

SCOTUS is headed for a fight over prediction markets that could rewrite rules on sports betting and regulation. Trump's IRS proposal targets universities' tax-exempt status if they keep race-based DEI.

APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll found 77% support for Home Savings Accounts — a kitchen-table winner that beats total opposition nearly 4-to-1. Colleges must prove a degree is worth the debt instead of sticking kids and taxpayers with the bill for their failures.

THIS LITTLE GIRL DOESN'T WANT A GENDER-CONFUSED MALE AS HER TEACHER...

American Principles Project on X: This little girl doesn't want a gender-confused male as her teacher. We are now at the point where children must beg their school boards not to intentionally subject them to this depravity. This is the poison peddled by liberal establishment and funded by your tax dollars. We don't have to live like this.

American Principles Project on X: A rogue Democrat judge blocked the DOJ's attempt to secure the fundamental rights of high school girls in CA. The left has made itself clear: there will be no compromise on transgenderism. Fairness and safety be damned. Voters must make themselves clear this November and strip these radicals of their power.
