December Is No Time to Ignore Congress
- By Veronique de Rugy
Congress's lame-duck session is an ideal time for both parties to pass last-minute legislation while voters are busy Christmas shopping and before members who lost their reelection bids surrender their seats in January. Especially this year, real danger lurks in such legislation. Above all, there's the threat that Congress turns the expanded child tax credit into a new and very costly permanent entitlement. But other threats loom. I'll look at a few of them today.
‘Pro-Choice Pastor’ Raphael Warnock Wins Georgia Runoff
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock defeated Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia’s runoff election Tuesday night, giving the Democratic Party an outright majority that eases their ability to pass legislation and confirm judges to the nation’s bench.
Warnock defeated Walker 51.3% to 48.7%, a margin of 90,000 votes, according to results reported by the Georgia Secretary of State as of this writing. Warnock came out ahead of Walker during the November 8 election by 0.9% but failed to win half of all ballots cast, triggering the two-person runoff.
Congress Crossing the Line on Immigration Reform
- By Eagle Forum
If a huge border crisis wasn’t bad enough, liberal lawmakers are pushing lame duck legislation to loosen our immigration laws. Behind closed doors, members of the United States House and Senate are negotiating bills to eliminate limits on legal immigration and provide a massive amnesty measure in the final days of the 117th Congress.
How Can We See Distant Starlight
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The biggest challenge from a creation science standpoint given the fact that the speed of light is finite is being able to see stars that are more than 6000 light years away. Several solutions to this problem have been proposed but unfortunately, some of them produce more problems than they solve.
The first solution proposed was that God created the light already in transit. There are two main problems with this idea. The first problem is the fact that there is nothing scientific about it, it is simply a patch to make the problem go away. The second problem is that the overwhelming majority of what we see in the sky never actually happened, basically making God an author of fiction. Finally, there is nothing to gain from this solution other than fixing a problem.
Why Our Constitution Doesn't Need Fixing!
- By Catching Fire News
The latest push for an Article V Constitutional Convention is being marketed to suck in Conservatives who want limited government but aren’t aware of the dangers.
Rather than fixing the problem of a federal government gone wild, it will open the door to abolishing the Constitution and replacing it with a globalist version.
Listen as attorney Joanna Martin aka Publius Huldah gives the best explanation of why an Article V Convention is the most dangerous threat to our liberty we Americans face today.
Marriage Is a Truth That Cannot Be Redefined
- By Star Parker
The Respect for Marriage Act, codifying same-sex marriage as federal law, already decided as such by the Supreme Court in the Obergefell decision in 2015, has now passed the Senate. If it passes in the House, President Joe Biden will sign it into law.
Let's take a moment and consider what is going on.
Some view acceptance of same sex marriage as a bold new step to a freer and more just society. But, despite Gallup now showing 71% in favor of same-sex marriage, 58% of those who attend church weekly are opposed.
GOP's 12 Marriage Defectors Face Scorching Criticism Back Home
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Let’s hope the 12 Republicans who voted to redefine marriage enjoyed the back-slapping of their Democratic colleagues, because they’re about to settle in to the next (and longest) chapter of the Senate aftermath: the reckoning. While Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) basked in the praise of Senate radicals Tuesday, she and the other 11 GOP imposters now have the unenviable task of owning the votes they cast. And as reassuring as the Left’s applause may have been, it was fleeting. The damage they have done to America and their reputations is not.
86,903 Protest After School Satan Club for 5-Year-Olds in California
- By Christian Newswire
TEHACHAPI, Calif. -- Parents are deeply concerned about the opening of an After School Satan Club for children at Golden Hills Elementary School in Tehachapi, California. The club plans to meet on December 5, 2022.
However, more than 86,903 people signed a petition against the club. "Say 'NO' to the After School Satan Club targeting little ones under your care," reads a petition hosted by TFP Student Action addressed to the school district. "America is One Nation Under God and I encourage you to use every legal means to protect our children from Satan, the father of lies."
No, America Does Not Owe the World Climate 'Reparations'
- By Stephen Moore
I've made the case in previous columns that the climate change movement is mostly a climate change hustle. Let's be real. None of this is about changing the temperature of the Earth. Even the most naive environmental activist can't really believe that building windmills and driving Teslas is going to cool the planet.
This is all about money. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of government handouts.
Davis Heller Remembered at Celebration of Life Service
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University hosted a Celebration of Life service for Davis Heller at Ray and Bea Dillard Field last Wednesday. Heller, a member of the NGU Baseball team, passed away suddenly in October at the age of 22.
“NGU was blessed to have had Davis as a student for this short period of time, but we were blessed incredibly to be able to host the celebration of his life,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “The celebration was God-honoring and reminded us constantly of the hope of the resurrection and the importance of living as agents of grace and encouragement to those around us.”

Part One of a Two-Part Review of Robert E. Lee and Me A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause
- By Gene Kizer, Jr., Charleston Athenaeum Press
[Publisher's Note, by Gene Kizer, Jr. - Original post was March 17, 2021. Update December 5, 2022:
I am honored to present Col. Jerry D. Morelock's review, below, as Part One of a two-part review of Ty Seidule's Robert E. Lee and Me. Next week will be Part Two, by me.
Seidule is on the naming commission which came about because of Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who introduced an amendment in 2021 to the FY2022 NDAA in the Senate Armed Services Committee to change the names of the military bases in the South named for Confederates. We won two World Wars from those bases, which are around a century old. They were named for Confederates as part of the reconciliation of our country and most, such as Fort Bragg and Fort Benning, are legendary.
SC Founding Father at Center of U.S. Supreme Court Elections Case
- By Dallas Woodhouse - The Nerve
One of South Carolina’s early governors – and one of the nation’s most controversial founding fathers – is taking center stage in a critical U.S. Supreme Court case this week that could fundamentally alter the control of federal congressional elections.
Nearly 200 years after the death of Charles Pinckney, who was among four South Carolina signers of the U.S. Constitution, a contentious legal theory has renewed a fierce historical debate surrounding Pinckney’s role in the establishment of the Constitution and American government.
A wealthy Charleston planter and slave owner, Pinckney (1757-1824) became political royalty in South Carolina, initially serving as governor from 1789-1792 and later elected to two more non-consecutive gubernatorial terms. He also served in the S.C. Legislature and U.S. House and Senate. His cousin from South Carolina was a fellow signer of the Constitution.
The Siege of Bakhmut
- By Mike Scruggs
A Developing Crisis in the Ukraine War
Bakhmut is a city of about 71,000 in Donetsk oblast (state), about 40 miles north of the city of Donetsk, capital of the seceded Donetsk Republic, with a population of over 900,000. The population of the Donetsk oblast in 2013 was 4.4 million, Ukraine’s most populous region and about 10 percent of the total population of Ukraine. Donetsk oblast is also the most mineral-rich and industrial region of Ukraine. The Donetsk oblast is over 90 percent Russian-speaking and judging from voting records (2010), Russian ethnic and cultural identity is also over 90 percent. Nine oblasts in southern and eastern Ukraine voted 60 to 90 percent for a pro-Russian candidate for President, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2010. Yanukovych was a former Governor of Donetsk oblast. When Yanukovych was overthrown by a violent U.S. State Department, CIA, and British MI6 backed coup in February 2014, Donetsk, Lugansk, to its east, and Crimea, to its south, petitioned the Russian Federation to receive them as oblasts of the Russian Federation.
Dear And Glorious Taylor
- By W.H. Lamb
One of the great benefits of living a long life is that one develops a deep understanding of history and how it shaped the present, as well as a humble appreciation of the people who helped make that history, both in the distant past and into the modern era. It is one of the latter, a “titan” of literature, and a dedicated American patriot, whose long life I want to explore with you. Her birth name was Janet Taylor, but we knew her better by her “pen name” that she used when writing: TAYLOR CALDWELL (1900-1985)
I’ve written many times here in The Times Examiner that my wife and I have been members of The John Birch Society since 1963, 59 years of associating with some of the finest Christians and patriots I’ve ever known. For many years, until her death, Taylor Caldwell was also aproud and dedicated member of The John Birch Society, and through her writing and in her sometimes hectic life she did what she could to help Americanists pursue the goal stated from the very beginning of the JBS by our Founder, Robert Welch: “Less government—more responsibility—and with God’s help, a better world”. Birchers still strive to accomplish Mr. Welch’s dream, and Taylor Caldwell did also.
Bluffing Their Way to an Art. V Convention
- By Judi Caler
Part 1: Validation Schemes
Sound the alarm!! We are closer than ever before in our nation’s history to Congress’s calling a convention under Article V of the US Constitution, where we would likely lose our Constitution. And it’s because of yet another deception from the con-con lobby.
Article V says that “The Congress…on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States [now 34], shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments [to the US Constitution]…”
There have been approximately 450 applications passed by 49 State Legislatures since 1788, the year our Constitution was ratified. So, whether or not a constitutional convention has been triggered depends upon the criteria Congress uses to determine which of the 450 applications are valid. Only then can Congress count the States that submitted those applications to find out whether or not the 34-state threshold was reached.
NGU Professor Awarded Order of the Palmetto
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
Garry Smith, Affiliated Professor of Political Science at North Greenville University and former South Carolina House of Representatives member, was awarded the Order of the Palmetto by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster in November. The recognition is the highest honor a civilian can receive in the state of South Carolina.
“For over 20 years, Garry Smith brought strong leadership and a steady hand to the General Assembly,” said Gov. McMaster. "His work not only made a tremendous impact on those in his district but for all of South Carolina. For this, and his many other contributions to our state, it was my honor to award him the Order of the Palmetto."
Exclusive — Mitch McConnell Blocked from Moving Media Cartel Bill JCPA via Hotline
- By Matthew Boyle - Breitbart
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell tried to move through the U.S. Senate a highly controversial plan called the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) using a procedure called a “hotline,” Breitbart News has learned.
Before the close of business on Thursday, at least two GOP senators–including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)–objected to the effort and put a hold on the push. To stop a bill from being passed unanimously through the Senate via the “hotline” track, only one senator needs to object. Sources told Breitbart News that more Republican senators are racing to express opposition to the proposal, and they expect more holds to be placed in the coming hours and days ahead.
As Congress Fixates on Same-Sex Marriage, Lame Duck Necessities Pile Up
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
As the U.S. Senate burned precious legislative days dealing with the Respect for Marriage Act, which senators like Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) noted was a “stupid waste of time” back in July because the 2015 Obergefell Supreme Court decision had already guaranteed same-sex couples a right to marry, observers are pointing to a logjam of critical priorities that must be dealt with during the final 15 legislative days before the lame duck session expires, including an omnibus bill to fund the federal government and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to fund the military.
Quena Gonzalez, senior director of Government Affairs at Family Research Council, offered a candid assessment of the situation congressional Democrats currently find themselves in.
South Pole Temps Refuse to Cooperate With Global-warming Hysteria
- By James Murphy - The New American
titoOnz/iStock/Getty Images Plus
Since daily record-keeping began at the South Pole in 1957, three recent November days broke record minimum temperatures in the land of snow and ice. November 16 dropped to -46.0 °C with the previous low temperature for that date -45.7 °C in 1987; November 17 tied its record cold mark for that date with -45.1 °C, the same as in 1999; and November 18 reached -45.2 °C, breaking the previous record of -44.7 °C in 1985.
The record cold temps come on the heels of a record cold winter in 2021, during which a research station on a high plateau in Antarctica recorded an average temperature of -78° degrees Fahrenheit (-61° C) over a six-month period between April and September of 2021.

Will This Year's Lame-Duck Session Bring Back a Bad Idea?
- By Veronique de Rugy
Democrats have lost the House of Representatives and, along with it, the chance to pass more of their preferred policies in 2023. This makes the "lame duck" period before the January arrival of the new Congress their last opportunity to fully control Capitol Hill for a while. It's also a chance for outgoing legislators from either party to pretty much do as they please. My fear is that the outgoing majority will, with the help of some misguided Republicans, push for a disastrous expansion of the child tax credit.
House and Senate Lawmakers Steal Christmas Joy by Pushing Through Leftist Agenda
- By Eagle Forum
The Congressional lame duck session has run amok. Nothing highlighted the lawlessness of this period more than the politics surrounding the Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404). After forty-seven House Republicans helped advance the bill with no religious exemptions before the November elections, the Senate took it up this week. Senate Republicans were unwilling to vote for the House version of the bill as written, so Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) introduced a substitute that gave lip service to religious liberty concerns but only included limited protections for actual religious institutions. Individuals and faith-based entities that are not actual churches still would be forced to provide services in situations that conflict with their moral values. Sadly, this weak amendment appeased some Republicans who claimed interest in stronger religious protections but refused to require them.
Still Against the 'Dead Consensus'
- By Josh Hammer
In the aftermath of the Republican Party's recent midterm elections debacle, right-liberal sharks are circling. These devoted acolytes of what a prominent 2019 First Things manifesto called the American Right's "dead consensus" think they see blood in the water. Indeed, the "dead consensus" praetorian guard has apparently decided that now is the time for a counterattack against the more nationalist- and populist-inclined forces of what has, broadly, been dubbed the "New Right." A recent anti-national conservatism fusillade from The Federalist's David Harsanyi is reflective of the broader subgenre.
Senate Passes 'Disrespect for Marriage' Act Without Religious Liberty Protections
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
On Tuesday night, the U.S. Senate passed the so-called “Respect for Marriage” Act which critics say invites “predatory lawsuits” against people of faith, stigmatizes biblical values, and drives Christians from the public square. Although nearly all Senate Republicans voted for amendments demanding greater respect for religious liberty, 12 Republicans voted for the unamended bill — and against the interests of their own voters, according to pro-family organizations.
Life Legal Rushes to Defend Pro-Lifers Violently Assaulted by the Abortion Cartel
- By Life Legal Defense Foundation
NAPA, Calif. -- Life Legal has seen a dramatic escalation of violence outside abortion mills across the country. In the most recent attacks, several men shot pellet guns at pro-lifers outside a Planned Parenthood facility in Napa, California on two separate occasions.
On November 4, a youth group gathered to pray outside the abortion mill when two men drove by and shot pellets at the group. The shooters hit an 11-year-old girl in the eye and struck several other teens in the chest and face. A young woman pushing a stroller was also hit with pellets. While the victims were stunned by the attack, thankfully they were not seriously injured.
