Greene Puts the Squeeze on Republicans ahead of Midterm Mayhem
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The soap opera that is the U.S. House will be losing one of its leading ladies, and no one is more disappointed than the mainstream media. For five years, reporters ate up the drama that stuck to Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) almost as closely as her out-of-season tan. While the sudden, mid-term departure creates very real headaches for Republicans — and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in particular — MTG’s exit isn’t all bad news.
Tariffs in American History
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
An Unsettling Story of Economic Ignorance and Blind Greed
“Great is Diana of the Ephesians.”
George Washington signed the first U.S. Tariff bill in 1789 with an average tax on imports of about 5%. Tariffs ranged from about 6% to 15% until the Dallas Tariff in 1816 to repay the debt from the War of 1812. The Dallas tariff of 1816 was also a Protective Tariff to protect new American industry from foreign competition. Tariffs were considered the simplest, quickest, and least objectionable way to raise government funds. True enough for the time, but the “American System” of Economics and Tariffs turned out to be corruptible, because political leaders can be corrupt, partisan, and prone to shallow economic understanding. All human systems, including new AI systems, are subject to the human condition and its tendency toward self-centered moral blindness and hubris. Therein lie great dangers and potential disaster.
Will We Ask the Lord’s Blessing this Thanksgiving? Will We Give Him Thanks?

- By W.H. Lamb
“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing; Sing praises to His name, He forgets not his own.
“Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining; ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine. So from the beginning the fight we were winning; thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine.
“We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant; and pray that Thou still our defender will be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised, O Lord, make us free!”

Top Problems with Abiogenesis
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Before moving forward, we need to define our terms. The term abiogenesis specifically refers to the concept that life came naturally from nonliving chemicals. Some people will try to make the case for abiogenesis by defining it to include the creation of life by God. However, here we are going to specifically use the term abiogenesis to refer to a totally naturalistic idea for the origin of life. That is, it excludes, by definition, the involvement of any intelligent agency, whether it is God or aliens. Our use of the term is going to refer exclusively to a totally naturalistic origin of life.

Congress Issues the THC Industry a Sobering Prohibition
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Congress is back and open for business! Democrat Senators put on a big show during the Schumer Shutdown of keeping the government closed to extend failed Obamacare subsidies, give federal benefits to illegal aliens, and undo the progress of the One Big, Beautiful Bill. Republicans held the line and scored the win! The victory did not come without one final challenge, though.
Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) led an effort in House Agriculture bills to close a loophole that allowed farmers to harvest Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from hemp. This particular form of THC has been incorporated into gummies, energy beverages, beers, lotions, and various other products, which can be found in widely accessible locations such as gas stations and convenience stores. The marijuana industry took advantage of the lack of federal regulations regarding Delta-8 THC to create a booming business that harms Americans’ health, especially young people.
Government Schools Are Losing Control As Student Enrollment Plummets
- Details
- By USPIE
Major school districts around the country are reporting a decline in the number of students in government school classrooms.
“As preliminary enrollment data for the 2025-26 school year has begun rolling out, school leaders are being forced to plan ahead for some tough decisions over staffing and school consolidations,” the education website K-12Dive reports.
UN Security Council Approves Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan, International Stabilization Force
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
In a nearly unanimous vote Monday evening, the U.N. Security Council approved Resolution 2803 (2025), placing its stamp of approval on President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza and the creation of an international force to maintain order in a post-Hamas Gaza. The final text leaves open the possibility of future Palestinian statehood, but the near-term effect paves the way for the disarmament and replacement of Hamas.
State Supreme Court Rules Legislator Pay Raise Unconstitutional
- Details
- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
The South Carolina Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that it is unconstitutional for state lawmakers to raise their own pay while in office. In their opinion that dropped on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the State Supreme Court issued an injunction against the proviso passed through the 2025-2026 Appropriations Act (fiscal budget) this past April that allowed legislators to receive higher “in-district compensation.”
Five-Year VoterGA Battle Exposes Fulton County Ballot Cover-Up
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
ATLANTA — VoterGA presented detailed evidence Monday explaining why Fulton County has fought so hard to keep its 2020 election ballots from public view. At its press conference, co-founder Garland Favorito walked through a comprehensive timeline of his five-year struggle to obtain an independent copy of Fulton’s 2020 ballots. The journey began when Fulton failed to count his vote for a third-party candidate in the General Election and senior poll managers found counterfeit ballots in the hand count audit conducted on November 14-15, 2020. Favorito Petitioners filed one complaint on December 23, 2020 and Favorito filed another in 2024 after Fulton officials told all involved they preserved the ballots but Favorito repeatedly received replies to his Open Records Requests stating: “No responsive records exist.”
Dick Cheney Was a Great Boss
- Details
- By Neil Patel
To the rest of the world he was the vice president of the United States, but we all called him "the boss." He was the ultimate boss.
Dick Cheney was tough. That part of him is widely understood. Almost everything else is misunderstood. Working for him for eight years, the man I got to know, admire and respect was nothing like the guy portrayed in public.
As a boss, he expected a lot. If you couldn't deliver, you wouldn't be around for long. If you could, he was amazing to work for. Think of any quality you want in a boss, and Dick Cheney had it.

As Religion Weakens, Socialism Strengthens
- Details
- By Star Parker
Per new polling reported by Gallup, religion is no longer important to most Americans.
In response to the question "Is religion an important part of your daily life," 49% said yes.
Ten years ago, in 2015, 66% responded affirmatively.
Gallup notes that this 17-point drop "ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007."
Cronyism Returning to SC's Top Court?
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Since 1973, when significant constitutional changes in the state court system took effect, 16 of the 23 S.C. Supreme Court justices over the period were ex-lawmakers, The Nerve found in a review of judicial and legislative records.
Starting toward the end of last year, however, there have been no former legislators on the state’s top court for the first time in the court system’s modern history.
But that could quickly change.
Payroll Costs of the Federal Swamp Exploded 24% during Biden Era
- Details
- By Mark Tapscott - The Washington Post
There were 5% more federal workers — 2.77 million in 2020 to 2.90 million in 2025 — when Joe Biden left the White House, but the costs of paying this vast legion of bureaucrats exploded 24% during the same period, according to a new report by a nonprofit government watchdog.
Much of the skyrocketing payroll costs is due to spiking paychecks going to employees making more than $100,000 annually in salary during the 2020-2024 period, according to Open the Books (OTB), the Illinois-based nonprofit that maintains the world’s largest, most current internet database of public spending:
Why Haven’t ALL of The “J-6” Political Prisoners Been Pardoned Yet?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Last October The Times Examiner published my multi-part article regarding the unjust arrest and extended persecution of a large number of American Patriots who were mostly peacefully protesting what they (and millions of other Patriots) perceived to be their American duty during their Demand For Fair and Honest Elections Protest, that took place in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. This was a true account based on personal testimony given to me by a Patriot (who is now a valued member of our Patriot Group) who was a J6 political prisoner, incarcerated for over two years by the leftist goons of Comrade Pseudo-President Joe Biden’s “Dept. of (IN)Justice”. Fortunately, his ordeal ended well, for he and around 1500 other political prisoners were all PARDONED by President Trump.
Ukraine War Complications: Moldova and Transnistria
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Possible Future Trouble Spots
Both Moldova and Transnistria were part of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (MASSR) until the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. They had been part of the Ukrainian SSR before 1924. Transnistria broke away from Moldova during the 1990-1991 process of Moldavan independence. There was war between Moldova and Transnistria in 1990-1992, in which about 500 civilians were killed. At that time, Ukraine backed the Transnistrians! Transnistrian independence is not officially recognized by most European Union and NATO countries. Moldovans primarily speak the Moldovan dialect of Romanian, while Transnistria, which is a long and narrow strip of land between Moldova and Ukraine, is Russian speaking and pro-Russian. The present government of Moldova leans toward European Union and Western alliances, although it is constitutionally neutral, and there is a large pro-Russian minority, which may actually be a majority of those Moldovans currently living in Moldova.
Creationist Cosmology - Conclusion
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
It is interesting to notice just how many rescuing devices evolutionists have to come up with to save their theories from reality. Dark energy is definitely one of the biggest. Here is a clear case of a situation where starting with biblical assumptions leads to a cosmology that naturally explains the data without any need for their rescuing device.
Whose Side Are We On?

Some Thanksgiving Thoughts
“And he said, Hearken ye all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou, King Jehoshaphat: Thus saith the Lord unto you, Fear you not, neither be afraid for this great multitude: FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S” (2nd Chronicles 20:15-17; 1599 Geneva Bible).
For those of you who are unaware, the 1599 Geneva Bible was the Bible used by our PILGRIM Forefathers and mothers in 1620 (they didn’t trust the recently published King James Version because they disliked King James and his allegiance to The Church of England, with its “anti-Calvinist” inclinations), including his reported “inclination” to find other men “attractive”. I’m sure it was often read and preached from during the dangerous and tedious 66-day Atlantic voyage from England to the New World during the harsh late fall weather of 1620. Fierce storms and huge waves and horrible living conditions and constant sea sickness below decks would have turned most modern people back from whence they came. Not so for these 102 stalwart souls who had determined to separate from their old world and, at least some of them trusting in God’s guidance, build a new and religiously separate colony on the barren coast of North America.

The labor market remains among the most dynamic in the Southeast, supported by migration inflows and diversified job growth in professional services, health care, and hospitality, as detailed in the Richmond Fed’s South Carolina Economic Snapshot.

Canadian Supreme Court Approves the Killing of Canadian Ostriches
The Canadian government has been working to kill 800 healthy ostriches for about a year now. The owners were fighting to keep them alive as they have been raising them for years and are a great benefit to science (they are not injured or killed by the tests) and they were healthy – not diseased, not a danger to any other birds (or stupid people).
Want Lower Prices? More 'Affordability'? Move to a Red State.
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
The buzzword of the month is "affordability," and based on the election results from New York, New Jersey and Virginia, voters think that's declining. Democrats think they've found a winning issue here to win back the hearts and minds of voters after the Trump sweep last year.
It's true that people are angry about prices. Steaks and hamburgers are more expensive than ever. So are coffee and rents and medical care. Many Americans are about to see a 10%-20% increase in their health care premiums starting in January.
South Africa Probes Mysterious’ Arrival Of Palestinians On Chartered Flight
- Details
- By Stefan J. Bos - Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JOHANNESBURG/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – South Africa has launched an investigation after 153 Palestinians unexpectedly arrived on a chartered flight at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport last week, prompting questions over who organized the journey and whether any fleeing Hamas fighters or officials may have been among them.
The passengers — traveling via Kenya — were held Thursday for roughly 12 hours after border officials found they lacked departure stamps, clear travel histories, return tickets, or confirmed accommodation in South Africa, officials said.
Many had reportedly not applied for asylum, despite stating they had fled the Gaza Strip.
Christian Leaders Rally on US Capitol Steps to Thank President Trump for Nigeria Action; Demand Congress Act on 'Existential Threat' to Christians
- Details
- By Christian Defense Coalition
WASHINGTON — A powerful coalition of American Christian leaders will hold a prayer vigil and news conference on the steps of the U.S. Capitol this Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11:00 AM, to offer gratitude for President Donald J. Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) and to urge Congress to immediately prioritize legislative measures to defend persecuted Christians.
The group will gather on the southeastern steps of the United States Capitol, which is the House of Representative’s side.
The group will also be displaying a large banner which says; “Protect The Persecuted Church.”
The Shutdown’s Over. Now What?
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The House got a lot of good-natured ribbing from the press this week when they touched down in D.C. for the first time in six weeks. “Remember,” Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan joked, “the big white building with the giant dome is the Capitol. That’s where the House floor is. We know, it’s been a while.” After a month and a half, members might’ve needed a map to their offices before heading across the street to vote. But despite the long (and ultimately pointless) hiatus, even Democrats reluctantly agreed to flip the sign on Congress to “Open.”
"I Beat Hitler!"
- Details
- By Robin M. Itzler (American Thinker)
In a few days, Piri Katz will celebrate her 98th birthday. That alone is a milestone worth celebrating. However, the fact that she was once known only as 20,444, makes this birthday especially gratifying.
Piri was the seventh of 11 children born into an orthodox Jewish family who lived in then Czechoslovakia’s Carpathian Mountains in a small town called Tibiva. Her parents owned two flour mills, and their property was filled with horses, geese, chickens, and all kinds of fruit orchards.
The simple life in Tibiva was farming, school, religious studies (for the boys), observing the Sabbath and other Jewish holidays where family and friends would gather at the local synagogue.
