Conservative women are “Problematic Women.” We are proud to be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-traditional American values. Because we don’t fit the left’s version of what a feminist should be, we have been labeled PROBLEM and we have embraced the title.

    OH BABY! Lovers Could Make Out Like Bandits on Trump Accounts This Valentines Day

    The Trump administration has created an incentive for Americans to have more children within the next three years.   Any baby born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, is eligible for $1,000 of seed money in a tax-advantaged investment account known as a “Trump Accounts,” though any parent with a child under 18 can open an account for their son or daughter.   The account operates similarly to an IRA, and parents, relatives, and friends can contribute up to $5,000 annually, though they do not have to make regular contributions.   “Your child’s funds will automatically be invested in American companies,” according to the Trump Accounts website.   When the child turns 18, they can either allow the account to continue to grow, or they can withdraw the funds for education costs or to purchase a home.   If the maximum amount is contributed to the account annually from the time the child is born, the account will have grown to over $270,000 by the child’s 18th birthday.   Between the rapid increase in the cost of living over the past 20 years, and many young people in debt with student loans, true financial freedom is a distant dream for many in their 20s and 30s, but “Trump Accounts” could change that for the next generation.   If Americans take advantage of the program to its full extent, Generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2024, and Beta, born between 2025 and 2039, can hope to avoid the financial situation many millennials and Gen Z young people find themselves in today.   On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the potential financial and political implications of Trump Accounts. Plus, we celebrate the day of love and romance with our favorite hot takes on Valentine’s Day.   Enjoy the show! Trump Unveils New Initiatives to Bring Real Food to Americans Robert F.

    ICE Operations: What Americans Actually Want | Meaghan Mobbs

    President Donald Trump says a “softer touch” may be needed to carry out his immigration enforcement agenda.   “I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough. These are criminals – we're dealing with really hard criminals,” Trump told NBC News following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis in January.   Two separate polls confirm the president’s conclusion is in line with the American public’s view of U.S. immigration policy.   A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that 65% of Americans feel that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have gone too far in enforcing immigration laws. But recent polling from the group Cygnal shows that 54% of Americans support ICE enforcing U.S. immigration laws to remove illegal aliens from the country. The same poll found that 61% of U.S. voters support deporting illegal aliens.   “I think what those two polls are actually doing is talking about policy, and they're talking about the execution of policy,” Meaghan Mobbs, director of the Center for American Safety and Security at the Independent Women’s Forum, says.   “Americans support the policy, which is deportation, but like President Trump said, perhaps there's a way to go about it that's not exactly how it unfolded in Minneapolis,” Mobbs explains on this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.”   “I think that's the threading of the needle where [Trump] said, we're going to keep doing it, but maybe with a ‘softer touch,’ which I do think means increasing communication with local and state authorities, [and] I think means messaging it more effectively.”   Mobbs joins “Problematic Women” to discuss Trump’s decision to deploy border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota and Homan’s actions since he arrived in the Twin Cities. Plus, we discuss the extent to which U.S. support for ICE comes down to a PR and messaging battle.   Enjoy the show!

    Why the Next Generation Isn’t Buzzed | Ericka Andersen

    “Dry January” is upon us—the annual reset when people swear off alcohol for a month, whether for health, discipline, curiosity, or recovery. While some are opting to detox from alcohol during the month of January, something bigger is happening beneath the surface: an entire generation is quietly walking away from alcohol altogether.    A 2025 Gallup poll found that only 50% of young adults ages 18-34, reported they drink—down from 72% two decades prior. And yet, alcohol still sits at the center of modern social life—networking events, happy hours, girls’ nights out, and dating culture. If you don’t drink, you’re expected to explain yourself.  In a culture that normalizes constant consumption, slipping into sipping habitually can be like a frog in slowly boiling water; you don’t notice the danger until alcohol starts stealing your clarity, your relationships, your peace, and eventually your purpose.  This week’s Problematic Women, Ericka Andersen, knows this song and dance all too well. She joins this week’s episode to make the case for sobriety in a culture so hellbent against it. Andersen, the author of “Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith,” shares the story of her personal relationship with alcohol and how she leaned not only on facts, but also on her faith, to find her way out.    We also break down the latest trends and statistics on alcohol consumption and what that says about the state of our culture.  Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.

    She’s the Last Line of Defense Before Abortion: Where Desperate Mothers Turn

    The reasons why women seek abortion have not changed, but society and culture have, according to Emily Berning, president and co-founder of Let Them Live.   Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood use flashy, professional, and sometimes seductive social graphics and short-form videos to target young women across social media with a pro-abortion messages. If the pro-life movement is going to capture the attention of the next generation, then they must employ a similar strategy, according to Berning.   Today, 76% of Gen Z believes abortion should be legal in almost all cases, according to Pew Research, proving the goal to instill a culture of life in America has yet to be reached.   While the demand for abortion remains, Berning and her team at Let Them Live are filling a practical need for moms considering abortion. The nonprofit, first founded in 2019, provides practical financial support to women considering an abortion.   Let Them Live will, for example, pay an expectant mother’s rent for a year or will take on the woman’s car payment or utility bill while she works to find a job that allows her to be a mother and provider for her child.   Just last year, the group celebrated 1,000 babies saved from abortion.   Berning joins “Problematic Women” to share about the work of Let Them Live and discuss how the next generation views the fight for the unborn.

    Biggest Issue Facing Fight For Life | Marjorie Dannenfelser

    A pro-life policy organization is calling on President Donald Trump to do more to protect the unborn. While Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the large policy organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, says no president has done more for the pro-life movement than Trump, she argues the president has not championed the issue as he did during his first term. Trump, however, might not be the only conservative who appears less inclined to discuss or take action on the pro-life cause following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Have conservative moved on from the issue? Dannenfelser joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss. Also on the show, Dannenfelser explains why the abortion pill is the biggest issue facing the fight for life in 2026. Plus, the Department of Health and Human Services received criticism after releasing millions in funding to Planned Parenthood. But did they have a choice?

  6. A Tale of Two Minneapolises: Protests After George Floyd vs. ICE Involved Shooting | Ashley Brasfield

    A Tale of Two Minneapolises: Protests After George Floyd vs. ICE Involved Shooting | Ashley Brasfield

    It took less than 48 hours for protesters to begin burning the city of Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd in May 2020. Law enforcement struggled to control protests as demonstrators set a local police station on fire, looted businesses, and left parts of the city covered in graffiti.   Five and a half years later, Americans wonder if history will repeat itself after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday.   Good, a 37-year-old woman, was an “immigration activist,” according to Fox News, and allegedly was at the scene of ICE operations in Minneapolis on Wednesday in an effort to disrupt ICE activity. When Good was ordered out of her vehicle, a video appears to show Good driving her vehicle toward an ICE agent, who discharged his weapon into Good’s car, killing her.   Protests broke out almost immediately in Minneapolis following the news of Good’s death, but, at least so far, demonstrations have been far from reaching the level of violence and destruction seen in the aftermath of Floyd’s death.   The same Democrat mayor, Jacob Frey, is in power in Minneapolis, and law enforcement were involved in Floyd’s death as they were in Good’s. So what is different now?   On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Daily Caller reporter Ashley Brasfield joins the show as we discuss the events that led to the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis and why protests have not escalated to the level of violence seen in 2020.   Enjoy the show!

    Blocking Canada’s Silent Suicide From Creeping Into America

    Canada has embraced a culture of death.   America’s neighbor to the north legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then more than 75,000 Canadians have participated in Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program. Canada also has no restrictions on abortion and only considers a baby a human after it passes through the birth canal.   Canada has become a “totalitarian wild west,” according to Liana Graham, who grew up in Canada and now works as a research assistant in domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation.   Areas that Canada should regulate, such as abortion and physician-assisted suicide, it does not; instead, it has created stringent regulations around freedom of speech and religion.   On this week’s episode of "Problematic Women," Liana joins the show to discuss the ways America can keep itself from becoming Canada 2.0 and protect the value of life that was intrinsic to America’s founding.   Also on today’s show, we wrap up the year by discussing President Donald Trump’s Wednesday night address to the nation.   Enjoy the show!Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Crystal Bonham: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=crystalkatetx   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.
