Half of Evangelicals Stayed Home in GOP Election Rout
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Exit poll data from tens of thousands of voters allow analysts to investigate narratives surrounding the 2026 election with empirical data. For example, was the Republican collapse due in part to a loss of support from evangelicals? The answer is both no and yes.
On one hand, evangelicals supported Republicans at a rate similar to previous elections. According to the 2026 exit polls, 82% of voters who self-identified as “white evangelical or born-again Christian” voted Republican. That compares to 82% in 2024, 83% in 2022, 76% in 2020, 75% in 2018, and 81% in 2016. Even before that, 78% of evangelicals voted Republican in 2012, 74% in 2008, and 78% in 2004. Evangelical voting patterns have been remarkably steady this century, with a modest uptick in support for Republicans in the Trump era.
Republicans Received a Harsh Wake Up Call in Midterm Elections
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The Republican Party was dealt a devastating blow on Election Night. The GOP went from holding majorities in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to finding itself with a minority in both chambers.
But first, some good news.
Eagle Forum made many endorsements in House, Senate, and state races. Out of 19 endorsed candidates who advanced to the general election, 15 candidates won, two lost, and two races have not been decided yet. The winning Eagle Forum PAC endorsed candidates are those who strive to uphold constitutional principles and fight to protect American families. They have pledged to stand firm on issues such as protecting unborn life, fiscal responsibility, safeguarding children from transgender activism, and securing our borders. You can find those endorsements here.
Chairman’s Corner: The Voters Have Spoken. Now Comes the Work.
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
The county transportation penny referendum failed, with 51.51% voting against it and 48.49% voting in favor. A close result, but a clear decision, and one we need to respect.
Before talking about what comes next, I want to thank District 19.
As you can see above, the precincts serving District 19 were closely divided.
8,308 votes in favor and 8,707 against. A difference of just 399 votes.
Throughout this discussion, I did not receive a single nasty email or threat to withhold a future vote because I supported putting this question on the ballot. We had disagreements. You asked questions and shared concerns. But you did so with integrity and civility.
America Losing Her Sovereignty!
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
It has taken me since Wednesday morning to even begin putting words together to communicate what is floating around in my head. My thoughts about the recent election are numerous, admittedly confusing, definitely alarming, and I admit I am still not clear what to write and share. I fully admit that several of my earlier writings were warnings about God bringing severe discipline and a humbling to our nation for our turning our backs on Him. I fully admit my articles depicting such were not theatrical but a warning that our exceptional nation, conceived by God as I described, was going to face sobering results from His Hand giving us a chance to return to a proper alignment with His Will; much similar to that of a Dad who dearly loves his child and has patiently attempted to bring correction but now must introduce a sobering form of discipline. We have kicked God out of our schools, government, churches and lives except for a mere surface form of acknowledgment.
How the Left’s Midterm Sweep Will Reshape Failed Government Schools

- By USPIE
Parents are opting out of government schools at increasing rates because these schools are failing their children’
With Democrats taking over Congress and scoring gains in key governor’s races like Texas and Georgia, government schooling advocates are likely to see millions more dollars poured into failing systems.
Throwing money at failed government schools doesn’t fix the system responsible for declining student achievement. Parents are opting out of government schools at increasing rates because these schools are failing their children.
Twelve states had ballot initiatives affecting taxes, with mixed results. In California, Prop 3 passed, making permanent the state’s high-income tax, which funds government schools.
'Am I Too Bad to Be Loved by God?' A Boy’s Question Inspires Prayer for Children Across Asia
- Details
- By World Share
ORLANDO, Fla. — After a Vacation Bible School (VBS) at a public school in Davao, Philippines, a little boy approached Pastor Joe Meyers with a question: Was he too bad to be loved by God?
During the VBS, hosted by World Share for 500 students at a public school, children had learned the parable of the lost sheep. But for this boy, the lesson brought a deeply personal question. Meyers embraced him, and the two cried together. He told the boy that Jesus loved him too, no matter what he had done, and wanted a relationship with him.
It was a reminder of why opportunities to share the love of Jesus with children matter.
Through Us, Not Just to Us
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
Are you a Christian? Do you love your fellow Christians? Do you support them, help them in their time of need, pray for them when you say you’ll pray for them? If they’re in need, and it’s within your power to help them, do you do so without a second thought? Or do you need to consider whether or not you want to?
Or, like some, do you put things in more “spiritual” terms saying, “I need to pray about whether or not God would have me help you.” Or do you just flat out say such things as, “I just don’t feel led by God to help.”
That may sound spiritual, but is it really from God? Would GOD really tell someone not to help their Christian brother when he’s in need? Or would such “feelings” and “leadings” come from the enemy — the one who desires nothing more than to see Christians languishing in turmoil, while their brothers and sisters, able to help, stand by and do nothing, and feel no concern for them at all?

Dinesh D’Souza’s 11th bestselling title echoes important archeological discoveries verifying the Bible
HOUSTON — With his newest book, The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy and the Last Days, Dinesh D’Souza has officially written his 11th bestseller, debuting at No. 10 on The New York Times Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous Best Seller list.
Archaeological evidence continues to make headlines, with the discovery of a potential location for Noah’s Ark, ancient ritual baths from over 2,000 years ago and more. The Stones Cry Out, which released from Charisma Media on October 13, 2026, highlights similar archaeological discoveries that not only vindicate the Bible, but provide clarity to those exploring Christianity. D’Souza uses research findings coupled with his own personal experiences visiting Israel to prove the Bible withstands archaeological scrutiny.
Thank You, Greenville! Now, Stop School Board Candidates from Hiding Behind Nonpartisan Disguises.
- Details
- By James Spurck - Political Analysis
The ballot gave Greenville voters names. Candidates who spoke plainly and neighbors who shared what they learned helped voters see where those candidates stood. Greenville paid attention and changed the balance of its school board.
Despite the blue Senate race, Greenville did have some major wins. On November 3, Greenville voters gave South Carolina’s largest school district its strongest conservative school board lineup in years. The voters paid attention to races near the bottom of the ballot, where a few hundred votes can change who helps decide what more than 75,000 students learn and how the district spends nearly a billion dollars a year from its general fund.
Two years ago, Greenville voters added four conservative voices to County Council by electing Kelly Long, Curt McGahhey, Frank Farmer and Garey Collins. This year, they returned Joe Dill to the council, elected fiscal conservative Daniel Rumfelt and reelected Chairman Benton Blount. Conservative Kyle Long led by 22 votes in District 28, a race flagged for a recount. The shift reached the school board, too.
Reasons Abiogenesis Is Impossible
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
While the hypothesis of abiogenesis is claimed as a foundational pillar of modern naturalistic biology, it faces severe, unresolved challenges from the standpoints of chemistry, physics, and information theory. Critics, including many structural biochemists and biophysicists, argue that these hurdles are not merely gaps in our current knowledge, but fundamental contradictions with established natural laws. Here are the top reasons and arguments why abiogenesis is considered by many to be scientifically impossible:
1. The Paradox of Homochirality
Biological molecules possess spatial orientation, or "handedness." Life exclusively uses left-handed amino acids for proteins and right-handed sugars for DNA and RNA. The Barrier is that blind chemical reactions naturally produce a 50/50 "racemic" mixture of both hands. If even a single right-handed amino acid enters a protein chain, it can alter the 3D shape completely, rendering the protein useless. Natural processes consistently resist the pure sorting required for life. This all by itself makes abiogenesis a statistical impossibility.

Ukrainian KIA vs Russian KIA Estimates
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Project Ukraine Propaganda vs Reality
Nations at war are reluctant to release casualty statistics. Casualty statistics have an inevitable impact on both civilian and military morale with potentially heavy political consequences. They are also reluctant to give an enemy knowledge that might be to their tactical, strategic, psychological, or political advantage. For these reasons, the US and other nations have traditionally “slow-rolled” public and media casualty figures and circumstances in order to avoid public discouragement and maintain control of their war narrative. Moreover, to maintain a successful war narrative, estimates of enemy or allied casualties may reflect propaganda rather than reality. This is particularly important in comparisons of allied and enemy losses.
School Construction Contract Raises Questions Ahead of Greenville County School Board Election
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
District records reveal that longtime trustee Chuck Saylors was a vice president of M.B. Kahn Construction when the company received a $12.9 million school construction contract.
With Greenville County voters heading to the polls Tuesday, November 3, questions surrounding a multimillion-dollar school construction contract have resurfaced following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted to Greenville County Schools.
At the center of the inquiry is longtime school board trustee Charles "Chuck" Saylors, who is seeking reelection to his Area 20 seat, and his employment relationship with M.B. Kahn Construction.
The significance of that relationship is not merely that Saylors once worked for the construction company. He was serving as a vice president of M.B. Kahn during the period in which the company was awarded a $12,909,300 contract for improvements to J.L. Mann High School in 2015.
When Political Protest Pours Gasoline on the Fire
- Details
- By The Times Examiner
You cannot put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it. The same principle applies to political decisions. A protest may express frustration, but it does not automatically solve the problem that inspired it. Every ballot carries consequences beyond the moment it is cast. Prudence does not mean abandoning your principles. It means having the wisdom to consider the consequences of acting on them. Principle tells us what we stand for. Prudence reminds us what is at stake.
When Said Political Principles Get Lost in the Mud
- Details
- By James Spurck - Political Analysis
The difference between principled opposition and political mudslinging begins with evidence and prudence.
There is a difference between holding public officials accountable and using unverified personal allegations as political ammunition. When accusations without evidence against one individual are introduced into an election involving a family member, the public has every reason to question their relevance and timing.
Serious accusations deserve evidence, not political exploitation. And even if it were true, a family relationship is not proof of wrongdoing, and suspicion should never be allowed to masquerade as fact.
The timing of such attacks can also create the appearance of political desperation of a failed write-in campaign. When an electoral effort turns its attention from the candidates' records and policies toward allegations involving their relatives, it invites an uncomfortable question: Has the debate shifted from persuading voters to discrediting those associated with an opponent?
Know When to Hold ’Em, Fold ’Em, and Walk Away: A Lesson in Political Prudence
- Details
- By The Times Examiner
The primary is where voters hold their ground and fight for the party candidate they believe in. When that contest ends, knowing when to fold ‘em means recognizing that the general election presents a different decision, with different consequences. And knowing when to walk away doesn’t mean abandoning principles. It means moving beyond the primary battle with confidence in the judgment behind your vote. That is the central question in South Carolina’s Senate write-in debate: whether continuing the primary fight into November serves a meaningful purpose or risks consequences that extend far beyond Election Day. Personality may keep us attached to a candidate, but prudence asks us to consider what our decisions will accomplish.

PLEASE NOTE—IMPORTANT DETAIL: do not take this flier to the polls. By law, you may take only a list of names and offices to the polling site.
- For candidates already in an office, I have been able to check voting records. My comments reflect their voting records over the course of their tenure.
- For those who have never run for office before, and who claim a position, I will state their claim, but understand I have nothing by which to verify that claim.
- Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A photo ID is required to vote in South Carolina.
I usually don't post something at the front of my election paper, but I feel this year needs to have some additional information talked about. If you notice as you go through the races, you will see that I might say I endorse and will vote for someone, or I might say I would Vote for …. Sometimes the person on the ticket on the GOP side is not someone I want to vote for, well in the past I have written a name in or just abstained and let the majority make the decision and choose not to vote in that Race.
PERKINS: Render unto the Ballot Box
- Details
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
As Americans, we have the right to vote. With that right comes the power to choose our leaders and influence the values that guide our government. That right must be protected, but it must also be exercised.
There are roughly 250 million Americans eligible to vote. Yet in the 2022 midterm elections, fewer than half participated. Think about that. In a nation where government derives its authority from the consent of the governed, millions chose not to make their voices heard. And Christians are not exempt from this troubling pattern. Even where churchgoers vote at higher rates than the general population, far too many remain on the sidelines.
As Americans, we have a right to vote. As Christians, we also have a responsibility to be faithful citizens.
The Ongoing Battle for Historical Truth

New Books and Videos on Civil War Causes and Vietnam Truth
My latest book, The Morril Tariff and its Precedents, can now be purchased on Amazon.com for $15.95. It covers the history of protectionist tariffs from the Henry Clay “American System” Tariff of 1824 through the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 and beyond. The politically correct narrative of the Civil War commonly presented by media and academia is that the Civil War was a Northern crusade against slavery. This is propaganda by exaggeration and especially omission. Had the Morrill Tariff not been passed by the US Congress in 1861, there would probably never have been a Civil War. The Morrill Tariff had come as the culmination of over 37 years of North-South tariff wars, which sacrificed Southern economic prosperity for the benefit of Northern industry. Moreover, more than 80% of the tax burden fell on the South, while more than 75% of public infrastructure and other spending benefited northern and western states. This had led to points of constitutional crisis and secession threats from 1824 through 1861.
Columbus and Washington Appealed to Heaven
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
I hope you have enjoyed my last two articles regarding Christopher Columbus. Our nation is exceptional (not perfect) because, in part, God ordained folks in various leadership positions to bring about this nation. Their struggles to deliver pronouncements making this nation like none other in the world were difficult if not nearly impossible without the guidance and favor of God. I think I made this point with my Columbus articles, and even several article prior. As I conclude my series, I share another look into our unique beginning as a nation unlike any in the world at that time, or for all practical purposes in the present. The Spiritual Warfare raging to collapse the United States is not new, but I believe it has increased in force and vengeance. From Columbus to our founders meeting to create our founding documents and order for this unique nation, and the war to deliver us from tyranny of England, and then forward to present day, the Lord God has been a key factor. This fact is hated by all who are influenced and directed by the powers of darkness. Yes…the powers of darkness were confronted by Christopher Columbus, by our founders, by Washington and onward. The works of certain leaders, elected or otherwise, who have disliked America deeply though they hide it with smiles and verbiage, is becoming painfully evident today as forces to bring about a New-World Order a One-World Government with no national sovereignty, has stepped up aggressively with no concern for concealment. The coming elections shall decide whether America will remain the hope and dream of Columbus, our founders, Washington, and all who have unabashedly stood and fought for freedom.

Four Steps to Improve School Choice in South Carolina

All South Carolina students deserve a high-quality education, and not every child thrives in their residentially zoned public school. Families have options like charter schools, private schools, or homeschooling, but these alternatives often carry additional costs.
South Carolina’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF) program helps S.C. students who do not attend their zoned public school by providing them with access to public funds. Lawmakers fund the program proportionally to public education funding increases in the annual state budget.
Exposing The Brutal Realities of Putin’s War on Humanity
- Details
- By Kristen A. Ullman, JD, President, Eagle Forum
The "Evil Empire" Still Exists
Vladimir Putin is many things; a “humanitarian” is not one of them.
Steven Witkoff may think sycophantic praise for the Russian president will get Putin to a deal, but that ignores two important realities. First, Putin and his army have brutalized his own people and committed numerous and heinous war crimes against the people of Ukraine. Second, when history is littered with Putin’s broken promises, the only way to get him to a deal is strength and resolve, not appeasement.
Pope Saint John Paul II, who had experienced the ravages of fascism and communism in the 20th century, believed that the reason the Soviet Union fell in 1989 was not that it could not win the nuclear arms race but because its society was built on a lie — a lie about the human person.
Woke 2, De-civilizing American Society Through Education
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Several years ago, I wrote an article, “Woke: the Culmination of the Marxist Education System” where there was this quote from “Mental health and world citizenship”: “Principles of mental health cannot be successfully furthered in any society unless there is progressive acceptance to the concept of world citizenship.”[1]
That word “progressive” tells it all, progressing downward to “The new view is that the higher and more obligatory relation is to society rather than to the family; the family goes back to the age of savagery while the state belongs to the age of civilization”.[2]
A friend sent me an article from Renewing America: Woke: Key Definitions and Concepts. I recommend their site. Today, I’d like to expand with the caveat that Woke is still the claptrap of those who are out to destroy our county (and the world) via education. Regretfully, due to the dumbing down of American education since the 1800s, the Global Elite have made major advances toward that goal.
Scientifically Defining the Biblical Kinds
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Defining the biblical "kind" from a scientific perspective involves bridging modern biological taxonomy with the foundational principles of baraminology, which is the study of created kinds. Within a creationist scientific framework, the kind is generally understood to represent the original ancestral populations created during the Creation Week, possessing a vast reservoir of built-in genetic and epigenetic potential capable of rapid diversification after the Flood.
1. The Core Scientific Criterion: Reproductive Compatibility
Unlike the Linnaean species concept, which often relies on morphological distinctness or reproductive isolation, the primary criterion for defining a Biblical kind is potential hybridization. If two modern organisms can interbreed by producing offspring, even if they are sterile like a mule, or they can both hybridize with a common third organism, they are classified within the same Holobaramin, which is a complete created kind. Speciation and diversification are recognized as real, observable biological processes, but they occur within bounded genealogical limits. This is famously illustrated by the Canine, Feline, Ursidae, or Equine families.

The satisfaction of sending a protest message may last a moment. The consequences of an election can last generations.

Prudence looks beyond Election Day, because we will have to live with the result long after the message is forgotten.
What It Takes to Keep Greenville County’s Courts Running
- Details
- By Jay Gresham, Greenville County Clerk of Court
During my years as a judicial law clerk for a South Carolina Circuit Court Judge and later as Assistant Solicitor (state prosecutor) for the 13th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, I spent a great deal of time in courtrooms. I saw judges preside over complicated cases, attorneys advocate for their clients, and jurors make decisions that could change people’s lives.
Today, as Greenville County’s Clerk of Court, I see the judicial system from a different perspective. Much of my attention is now devoted to things most people never see. How can we make court records easier for judges to access? Why are we paying for a service we no longer need? What can we do about equipment that has been neglected for years?
These questions may not sound particularly exciting, but finding practical answers to them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Broaden the Base, Lower the Rates: Is Tax Reform Coming to S.C.?
- Details
- By Brendan Connors - SC Policy Council
On October 7, the Common Sense Tax Reform Special Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee hosted a panel of tax experts to discuss good tax policy, shedding light on potential changes coming to South Carolina’s tax code.
This was the second in a series of hearings that the subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Sean Bennett, R-Dorchester, will hold over the next few months. The panel offered differing perspectives on how to structure a fair and effective tax system, but a central theme emerged: South Carolina should broaden its tax base, eliminate exemptions, and lower tax rates.
At the subcommittee’s initial meeting on September 10, Sen. Bennett identified addressing the problems created by Act 388 of 2006 as one of the subcommittee’s primary goals.
AI Statecraft: The New Contest for National Power
- Details
- By Robert Maginnis - The Washington Stand
Beijing’s latest move should sharpen Washington’s understanding of the AI contest. Commercial leadership matters, but the larger prize is national power: the political leverage that comes from supplying the systems other nations depend on.
On October 16, China proposed export controls covering 23 AI technologies, including models, agents, and computing clusters. The broader restrictions remain under consultation through November 15, but registration requirements for certain overseas technology transfers took effect the same day. Access through apps, websites, and cloud services would remain available.
Beijing is drawing a strategic distinction: restrict transfers of sensitive capabilities while allowing Chinese companies to expand overseas services. That approach protects its technological edge and deepens foreign dependence at the same time.
