    I told you it was coming. Back in May, on my show, “Sovereign Nation,” I chronicled significant signs of pro-life progress that were driving death-lobby Democrats mad—and I warned of a wave of intolerant tantrums to come as we hurtle into autumn.

    Raising Children to Be More Than Peppa Parrots0

    Peppa Pig, a British children’s cartoon, has taken America by storm, so much so that children are absorbing the British accent its characters feature, a recent article in The Wall Street Journal explains.
