- By U.S. Department of Justice
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department today announced it has opened a civil rights investigation into the development and passage of Washington State Senate Bill 5375, signed into law on May 2, 2025, by Governor Bob Ferguson, which appears on its face to violate the First Amendment.

Statement from State Treasurer Curtis Loftis on House Decision not to Pursue Removal from office
- Details
- By Press Release

I am grateful for the House leadership’s decision today to choose the people's business over political theatre. I feel sure that South Carolinians are thankful that they are the first priority, and political games are not.
I am ready to turn my focus back to doing the people’s work – to stabilize our state’s financial system and put this unfortunate chapter of fighting baseless claims by a few politically-motivated senators behind us.
Let me be clear: there is no missing money, no mysterious bank account, absolutely no evidence of fraud, and every dollar is properly accounted for. Furthermore, the two independent auditors that reviewed this issue confirmed what I’ve said all along – this was a reporting error, not a financial loss.

Steve Jobs co-founded Apple when he was 21 years old.
Nine years later, at age 30, he was purged and fired from the company he founded and built by the professional management he helped recruit.
Eleven years later, after that management brought the firm to the edge of bankruptcy, Jobs returned to the helm and saved the company.
In 1997, when Jobs returned as interim CEO, Apple lost $1.04 billion and estimates were that it was 90 days from insolvency.

A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

Four hundred and eighteen years ago, more than 100 men completed a grueling 144-day voyage from the countryside of England to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in search of opportunity in the New World.
Commissioned by King James I and the Virginia Company of London, these intrepid settlers charted three small ships — the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery — to set sail on a perilous journey across the Atlantic to expand the reach of the English Crown into unknown lands, create a better future for their families, and further the “Glory of His Divine Majesty.”

Resource Designed for Faith-Based Groups Offers Hope and Healing for Those Grieving Suicide Loss
NEWARK, Del. -- The Christian Association for Survivors of Suicide Loss (CASSL), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, announces the much-anticipated release of the second edition of its acclaimed resource, Moving Forward: A Christian Study for Survivors of Suicide Loss. This updated study is designed for use in small groups or personal study.
Suicide remains a global and national concern. Each year, approximately 720,000 people die by suicide worldwide. In the United States, suicide rates have reached record highs, with 49,000 deaths in 2023 alone. For every suicide, it is estimated that at least 135 people are left behind to grapple with complex grief and trauma, suggesting that over 6.6 million loss survivors are created annually in the United States alone. These survivors are often overwhelmed with feelings of shock, guilt, and isolation, and are themselves at higher risk for suicide. Faith-based support can play a pivotal role in the offering comfort, understanding, and hope in community.

China’s Thorium Nuclear Power Revolution
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Safe, Clean, Cheap, Efficient, and Almost Unlimited Nuclear Power

According to Henry Tillman, CEO of Aiyana Advisory and Research, interviewed by Norwegian political science Professor Glenn Diesen on April 23, China is ten years ahead of the rest of the world in the revolutionary development of thorium as nuclear fuel. China has just made history by activating the world’s first thorium-fueled commercial nuclear reactor in its Manchurian Gobi Desert. According to Engineerine.com, this is a major breakthrough in producing safe, sustainable, and efficient nuclear energy—25 times more efficient according to Tillman. Unlike conventional uranium reactors, this thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) is meltdown-proof and produces minimal long-lived radioactive waste. Thorium is much more abundant than uranium and much safer than uranium. Moreover, it is very clean-burning (98%) and much superior to fossil fuels and uranium-based nuclear fuel in its minimal environmental impact. The Chinese claim Thorium nuclear power will give them 60,000 years of sustainable cheap energy.
Waste and Fraud Unmasked by DOGE Sparks Question - Why Didn’t Congress Find It First?
- Details
- By Mark Tapscott - The Washington Post

So much waste, fraud, and inefficiency in federal spending have been exposed since President Donald Trump re-entered the Oval Office three months ago that it raises the question: why didn’t Congress shine the light on such outrages long before Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) came along?
Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Rick Manning, for example, put it well recently, asking congressional watchdogs what they “have been doing over the past 20 years? Where was their spending oversight? Why have they not forced these systems to be opened up for public review so they could dig deep into the spending on authorized programs to determine whether they are being administered properly, and that the taxpayer has been getting their [money’s] worth?”
Travelers Rest Planning Commission Recommends Denial for Inn at Altamont
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
This week, the Travelers Rest Planning Commission took a major step regarding the proposed Inn at Altamont — a controversial 150-room luxury hotel project on Paris Mountain.
After a packed public hearing where dozens of citizens spoke out in opposition, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend denial of the annexation request needed for the hotel to move forward.
Here’s what happened:
- Residents raised serious concerns about the project’s impact on traffic safety, water runoff, sewer infrastructure, and environmental preservation.
- Six major conservation groups — including Upstate Forever, Friends of the Reedy River, Naturaland Trust, and Save Our Saluda — also formally opposed the development.
- Only two citizens spoke in favor, citing potential economic benefits.
- Despite the city’s planning staff recommending approval based on technical consistency with the city’s comprehensive plan, commissioners said the overwhelming public outcry could not be ignored.
Are Firearms “Evil,” or Is It Our Culture That Is Evil?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb

I’ve long been an advocate of maintaining an INDIVIDUAL’S right to keep and bear arms to defend one’s self or one’s family, or one’s property, a God-given “right” codified in our Second Amendment to our Federal Constitution, which is usually attacked by liberals, timid know-nothings who believe that even discussing firearms might prove fatal, Dumbocrats, Demoncrats, whacky “moon bats”, firearms haters, freedom despising socialist “progressives”, despicable Marxists, and mentally confused and poorly educated morons who love to parrot the left wing line that our Second Amendment is NOT an individual right, as are ALL other rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, but applies only to the “collective right” of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms aspart of a State militia. This is totalBalderdash! I’ve long supported Gun Owners of America, an organization that many 2nd Amendment upholders believe has been more effective than the National RifleAssociation. If those facts make me “persona non grata” in your mind, perhaps it is you who need to vacuum out some of the inaccuracies therein and begin reloading it with TRUTH!

In South Carolina, $8.6 billion represents about $1,600 for every man, woman and child.
It’s also the total amount of “other” fund surpluses that state agencies carried into the start of this fiscal year, The Nerve found in a review of records provided by the S.C. Department of Administration under the state Freedom of information Act.
The Nerve’s review found that other fund surpluses among 101 state agencies or major divisions, plus a separate state fund for county road projects, at the beginning of this fiscal year collectively were $594.4 million, or about 7.4%, more than the $8.05 billion in total reserves at the beginning of the previous fiscal year.

WINNETKA, Ill. -- The Armenian people are no strangers to suffering. “As you prepare to return to your homes, leave your hurt and pain with us.

Pope Frances’ Difficult Legacy

Pope Francis has passed away—and the world mourns.
Prime ministers, Presidents, Kings and Queens were quick to send their condolences to the Vatican and the over 2 billion Catholics who called him their pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth.
But Francis’ legacy is a very difficult one; a legacy that many see him as a trailblazer for progressive causes and the poor, while others bewail what they saw as a Pope with heterodox theological standards.
The real issue for faithful Catholics is: did this Pope represent the Christian faith accurately to the world at large.

It may be as you read my commentary Monday is on the horizon, the beginning of a new week, new challenges, new obstacles, a start to a new race but carrying the effects of the one you have been running. Maybe you are facing some challenges that appear to have no real positive answer or positive direction from which you will emerge better off than last week or month or year.

Headlines, lawsuits, arrests, threats of impeachment (again) fill the very air we breathe and have become commonplace. With all these political, national security, national economic challenges, YOU may be facing tomorrow or this week challenges that are not making any news nor even raising an eyebrow with anyone except yourself, and your most immediate family, unless they, too, have become like leaves in the wind.

— The White House releases the following fact sheet:
Background
Under President Biden, the Federal government promoted a grotesque social and scientific experiment on American children. During the first three years of his administration alone, more than 7,000 children were administered puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Over 4,000 were subjected to sex-trait modification surgical interventions, such as mastectomies. These interventions were marketed to children on the basis of ideologically driven and financially motivated junk-science.
5 Astounding Facts About Creation Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Creation science is often attacked by evolutionists for numerous things most of which are just attacks that have no bases, but yet they form an opinion about creation science in general that simply gets repeated. Most people who are convinced that the Big Bang to man evolutionary story is true do so not because of any actual evidence but because that is what they were taught to believe in school, and they simply never questioned it but believe it on 100% blind faith. In most cases what such people think they know about creation science is based entirely on the criticism that they hear from evolutionists. Furthermore, a lot of these people will not even look at creationist material to get an honest perspective about creation science. Here are astounding facts about creation science that you will learn if you take such an honest look.
Trump's FTC Is Putting American Companies Last
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
President Donald Trump's record as the deregulation president is nearly unparalleled. In his first 100 days in office, he has already identified hundreds of billions of dollars of potential deregulation savings in the areas of energy, education and housing.
Hooray.
But some of his new regulators in the Justice Department and at the Federal Trade Commission apparently didn't get the memo. The new FTC chairman, Andrew Ferguson, is pushing forward with lawsuits -- some left over from the Biden administration -- that could hobble U.S. businesses.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Former President Joe Biden's antitrust warriors, led by the notorious super-regulator Lina Khan saw a monopoly in any business that dared make a healthy profit.

Our frustration is real — and so is our determination to fight for you until the last hour of session.

- By R. Cort Kirkwood - The New American

The Maryland sheriff whose department dealt with the murder of two women by illegal aliens has confirmed that top Democrats who went to El Salvador to return a “mistakenly deported” illegal alien did indeed travel on behalf of an MS-13-linked thug.
Sheriff Jeff Kahler admonished far-left Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland for caring more about Kilmar Abrego Garcia than the women whom illegal aliens murdered in Van Hollen’s own state. Van Hollen went to El Salvador to help the tattooed desperado. But he ignored the families of Rachel Morin and Kaylan Hamilton, Kahler said.

U.S. Supreme Court Weighs Right for Parents To Opt Their Children from LGBT Content
- Details
- By Emmitt Barry - Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear a case from Maryland parents who argue that public schools are violating their religious rights by denying them the ability to opt their children out of LGBTQ-related lessons.
The case challenges whether Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland violated the Constitution by not informing parents or allowing them to opt their elementary-aged children out of LGBT-themed story time, featuring books on gender identity, Pride parades, and same-sex relationships.
“We’re just saying if the school board is going to make that decision, let us have the chance to leave the classroom,” said Colten Stanberry, counsel at Becket and attorney for the parents, in an interview with Fox News Digital. “And so I think for my parent clients, they’re saying let us be the parents. Keep us involved in the school decision-making process. Don’t try to cut us out.”
Final Changes to Official Air Force Hymn Announced
- Details
- By Jonathan Sciano - Former Sergeant, USAF
WASHINGTON — The official United States Air Force Hymn, “Lord, Guard and Guide the Men Who Fly,” has undergone its final change and is ready for Memorial Day and Independence Day. Commissioned to analyze and correct the hymn’s musical structure, Air Force veteran and musician former Chaplain, Capt. James “Jim” F. Linzey has formally completed the project.
Originally penned in 1915 by Scottish poet Mary Christian Dundas Hamilton as “A Hymn for Aviators,” the prayer later came to be known as, “Lord, Guard and Guide the Men Who Fly.” It was officially adopted by the U.S. Air Force in 1947 and has since been partially incorporated into the official United States Navy Hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” for naval and Marine aviators. Elements of Hamilton’s prayer are also echoed in the official United States Space Force Hymn, “Creator of the Universe.”
