Parental alienation can destroy trust between a parent and child. In this commentary, Ryan breaks down a painful personal account of divorce, co-parenting conflict, identity confusion, and what happens when children are pulled into adult problems.
Kids should never be used as emotional weapons in a marriage or divorce. They should not be asked to carry adult secrets, pick sides, or validate one parent against the other. Real parenting means telling the truth, setting boundaries, and protecting children from the chaos of broken relationships.
This video looks at how parental alienation can start small: private adult issues shared with kids, constant criticism of the other parent, emotional manipulation, and “affirmation” used as a tool to gain loyalty.

Parental alienation does not just hurt fathers. It hurts children first.
In this video, Ryan talks about the damage caused when one parent pushes the other parent out of a child’s life. Kids should not be trained to hate half of who they are. They should not be forced to carry adult pain, adult anger, or family court failures.
This video also discusses Missouri HB 2308, a parenting time bill that would allow courts to order additional parenting time when court-ordered time has been denied. That matters because lost time with your children cannot just be ignored. When the state gives one parent court-ordered time, the courts should also defend that time.
Family court should start from one basic idea: children deserve both loving parents unless real evidence proves otherwise. A parent should not have to fight for years just to be treated like a parent.
This is personal, but it is bigger than one case. This is about fathers’ rights, children’s rights, shared parenting, due process, and a court system that too often rewards control instead of protecting family bonds.
Watch, share, and speak up.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is facing a federal indictment over claims that donor money was secretly used to pay informants tied to extremist groups, including KKK and neo-Nazi networks. DOJ officials say more than $3 million moved through hidden channels between 2014 and 2023. The SPLC denies wrongdoing and says the program was used to monitor threats and share intel with law enforcement.
In this commentary, Ryan Thompson breaks down why this matters beyond one nonprofit. This is about donor trust, media narratives, political labeling, Charlottesville, and the danger of centralized institutions shaping public opinion while hiding how the machine works.
We also revisit the 2017 Unite the Right rally, the death of Heather Heyer, and the federal hate crimes case against James Alex Fields Jr.
The bigger question: who gets to define “extremism,” who profits from that label, and why are regular Americans told to trust institutions that refuse transparency?
