Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stirred the cauldron of constitutional discourse when she compared child sex-change bans to interracial marriage prohibitions. Jackson made the remarks during a hearing for United States v. Skrmetti, a case considering whether Tennessee’s law banning medical procedures intended to enable “minor[s] to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex,” violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. But comparing sex changes for trans kids to interracial marriage between consenting adults is intellectually dishonest. It’s an offense to the conscience.
As Fox News reported, the Tennessee law, enacted in 2023, prohibits medical interventions aimed at altering a minor’s biological sex to match a perceived gender identity. Its supporters argue the law safeguards children from irreversible medical decisions, while opponents claim it discriminates against transgender individuals.
During oral arguments, Justice Jackson brought up the Supreme Court’s landmark Loving v. Virginia decision. She likened Tennessee’s ban on child sex-change procedures to the Virginia ban on interracial marriage that Loving struck down in 1967.

“What was most interesting about the potential comparison to Loving is that in that case everyone seemed to concede up front that a racial classification was being drawn by the statute. That was sort of like the starting point,” Jackson said. “The question was whether it was discriminatory because it applied to both races and it wasn’t necessarily invidious or whatever.”
She noted that the Virginia law forbade marriages inconsistent with one’s own racial identity, questioning whether Tennessee’s restriction operates under a similar framework regarding sex and gender identity. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
