Task Force Has Found 22,000 Unaccompanied Minors Lost during Biden Administration
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
More than 22,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been found by a task force established earlier this year after federal officials knocked on about 82,000 doors. This staggering number only represents about one in every 13 children lost during the Biden administration due to carelessness and politicized priorities. If losing these children was a travesty of justice, finding them is an under-appreciated triumph.

Competing in a Changing World
In economics, annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a year. It serves as an indicator of a nation's economic performance and size. GDP (PPP) is the Gross Domestic Product based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). PPP adjusts GDP for the relative cost of local goods, services, and inflation rates for each country, which makes it a much more useful and realistic calculation than using exchange rate calculations for a theoretical international dollar. Several international organizations calculate GDP—The International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, and CIA—and arrive at slightly different figures. The World Bank and IMF figures are generally close. CIA estimates may be politicized. The statistics presented here are from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) based in Washington. The United States is used as the comparison standard so the GDP and GDP (PPP) for the United States are the same. These are the most recent estimates for calendar year 2025.
Are Your Memories Fading Away?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
We all have them—memories, that is. Inevitably, some of them may fade with the passing of the years because nature is often cruel as our brain cells succumb to time’s attacks. But many of our precious recollections of the past—of our “good old days”-- stay with us for a lifetime. This truth was emphasized to me several years ago when, on a local radio station, I listened to what I believe to be one of the most beautiful and haunting secular songs I’ve ever heard. It brought tears to my eyes then, not so much for any memories it stirred in me, but for the depth of emotion projected by the man who was singing it.

Can't Sit Still Pop a Pill (Part I)
- Details
- By Patti Johnson - American Policy Center
Our society today is geared towards the quick fix. With the barrage of drug commercials there is a pill for every symptom. If you can’t sit still pop a pill. Big Pharma’s partnership with government agencies including public education is responsible for the drastic increase of children being put on dangerous drugs.
It’s been 25 years since my last opinion piece covering ADHD, ADD and prescription medications like Ritalin and Adderall. I thought I would never write another piece on this specific issue, but things have evolved since 1999. When I learned Illinois Governor Pritzker signed into law a new bill making it mandatory for yearly psychological exams on schoolchildren starting in 3rd grade, I had to write again on this issue.
SC Attorney General Alan Wilson and Solicitor Scarlett Wilson Sued Over Sex Abuse Coverup
- Details
- By Klayman Law Group, P.A.
(Charleston, South Carolina, September 9, 2025) — Larry Klayman, the founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, a former U.S. Senate candidate in Florida, and a former federal prosecutor on the Department of Justice trial team that broke up the AT&T telecommunications monopoly, announced today the filing of a lawsuit against South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson. The suit challenges Wilson’s withholding of public records relating to his failure to prosecute sex abusers, particularly involving crimes against women and children.
What if We Find Life Elsewhere in the Solar System
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
At this time the probe, known as Europa Clipper, is on its way to Jupiter. Its mission is to make repeated close-up observations of Jupiter's moon Europa. One of the reasons for this mission is the hope of finding evidence of life on the small moon. It is thought that there is probably a surface ocean underneath the ice that makes up Europa surface. This is suggested by the cracks and other features that are found across Europa’s surface.
The question before us here is what the consequences from a creationist perspective would be if life was discovered on Europa or any other object in the solar system. The response of evolutionists is obvious and in fact it has already been indicated. If we find any life within the solar system, they will immediately conclude that it is evidence that abiogenesis is very common. However, there are two possibilities that a creationist perspective offers, that would have no effect whatsoever of supporting any possibility of abiogenesis.
Redistricting Wars Come Back to Bite Democrats
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The Texas tantrum over redistricting may have made for good television, but it’s turning out to be a terrible strategy. Sure, Democrats may have earned some kudos from their raging base, but opening this can of electoral worms is starting to backfire, strategists warn. Part of the price of painting Republicans as gerrymandering cheats is exposing the Democrats’ own years-long hustle of rigging congressional maps. Now that the spotlight is on, Americans are finally getting a good look at how badly the Left has abused the system in blue states. And it isn’t pretty.
In one of the truest silver linings of this unexpected storyline of 2025, Republicans are finally pulling back the curtain on how liberal leaders have spent decades scamming the system. While governors like Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) are showing plenty of bravado in their threats to retaliate, the reality is this: they’re picking a fight they’ll almost certainly lose.
California Legislator Gets ‘Millstone Award’ for Writing Bill That Would Let Nonrelatives Make Decisions for Kids
- Details
- By USPIE
A California legislator is sponsoring a bill that would let non-relatives make crucial decisions for children in their parents’ absence.
For her role in pushing this dangerous legislation, Celeste Rodriguez, California State Assembly District 43, gets the September 2025 Millstone Award from United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE).
This is a Trojan horse that could easily be invoked to usurp parents’ rights. Bills like this are why USPIE is continuing to restore parental authority over children’s education. With this bill, anyone could make a major life-altering decision for any child.
Spinning the Catholic Killer's Bio
- Details
- By Bill Donohue - President, Catholic League
FBI Director Kash Patel got it right when he labeled the Minneapolis mass shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and an anti-Catholic hate crime.
Did Robert Westman (who changed his name to Robin after he falsely identified himself as a woman) also hate others, besides Catholics? Yes, there were many demographic groups whom he hated, but he only chose one group to murder—Catholic children praying at Mass. He killed two of them and injured 18 others.
Many reporters and pundits downplayed the anti-Catholic motive behind the shootings. Jake Tapper at CNN said Westman did not have “a specific motive,” noting that his “manifesto” was “kind of rambling.” Had he entered a mosque and killed Muslim children, would Tapper be just as bewildered?
Secretary Rollins Opens Next Step in the Roadless Rescission Rule

- By Robert Powell - American Policy Center
We are at a critical point right now re property rights across the entire United States, that is any state with a National Forest. Forty-one states plus Puerto Rico have at least one, and some states have numerous. So, a lot of people will be affected. Today, the urgency is on Oregon people’s interests, tomorrow will be more states.
https://wildtribute.com/pages/national-forests
While the current federal Administration is working to invigorate clean safe forest practices, with common sense practices, supporting true stewardship of the forests by opening up damaged forests. Our forests have been literal tinder boxes for years. This change would underpin healthy families, economic support of towns and schools, and ensure the safety of individuals and the forest denizens.
Israel Successfully Launches Advanced Ofek 19 Military Satellite Into Orbit

JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel successfully launched the Ofek 19 reconnaissance satellite into orbit Tuesday night, marking a significant leap forward in the nation’s military space program and strengthening its intelligence and surveillance capabilities across the Middle East.
The launch took place at 10:30 p.m. from the Palmachim Airbase in central Israel using a three-stage Shavit launcher. According to the Defense Ministry, the satellite achieved orbit, began transmitting data back to Earth, and completed its first series of tests, paving the way for full operational service in the coming days.
National Debt to GDP Ratios Survey

History and Common Sense Warning Signals
Spanish- born philosopher and essayist George Santayana (1865-1952), in his 1905 volume, Reason in Common Sense, is especially remembered for these words: “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” This is often phrased more pointedly: “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
In June 2025, the US national Debt was $36.2 Trillion, and its annualized GDP was $30.3 Trillion. This is a ratio of slightly over 119 percent.
In economics, annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a year. It serves as a crucial indicator of a nation's economic performance and size.
Now We Must Ask: ‘QUO VADIS” America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
One of my very favorite films of all time is that glorious old 1951 movie, QUO VADIS, which starred Deborah Kerr, Peter Ustinov, and the patriot, Robert Taylor. You may recall that Quo Vadis was a love story that revolved around the clash between the corrupted Roman culture, based on the veneration of a “Supreme Leader” (Emperor Nero), and the new Christian faith, based upon the worship of a “Supreme Savior”, our LORD Jesus. One scene particularly impressed me, because while it wasn’t Biblically accurate, it did illustrate the film’s message of duty to God before duty to country. In it, the Apostle Peter, portrayed so well by the late great character actor, Finlay Currie, was walking on a lonely road with a young friend, leaving Rome to avoid persecution under the Emperor Nero.
Backtrack or Excuses? Cracker Barrel Scraps Part of Its Controversial Rebrand
- Details
- By Sarah Holliday - The Washington Stand
Has Cracker Barrel caved to the pressure, or are its attempts to somewhat backpedal merely a superficial gesture to quell outrage?
The beloved American chain Cracker Barrel, known for its Southern comfort food and nostalgic Old Country Store charm since its founding in 1969, has ignited a firestorm with its recent rebranding efforts. The company’s “new creative campaign” aimed to modernize the brand “for the future,” but the changes have sparked widespread backlash, plunging Cracker Barrel into a cultural and financial maelstrom. The only rebrand this angry customer base has acknowledged is that Cracker Barrel went from enjoyable to “woke.”
Public Cost of Investigating Disputed $1.8B Grows to Over $11M
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Editor’s note: This story is part of a two-article package today. The other story can be found here.
------------------
More than $11 million in state funds have been spent on investigations of and other matters related to the disputed $1.8 billion, The Nerve’s latest review has found.
The growing tab is $3.2 million more than the total revealed by The Nerve in March.
Of the known overall $11.25 million spent through Aug. 8, a collective $7.76 million was paid by four state agencies to six outside law firms in connection with an ongoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation – which started at least two years ago – into the $1.8 billion and related issues.
Enrollment Collapse Pushes Government Schools to Hire Expensive Recruiters to Attract Students
- Details
- By USPIE
School districts struggling with enrollment losses are hiring consultants to recruit students. This comes as more parents are choosing alternatives to government schools, such as private schooling and home education, according to a new report.
On Aug. 5, The New York Times reported that schools in “Orlando, Newark, Memphis and dozens of other cities and towns have hired consultants who aggressively woo parents to convince them to enroll their children in local public schools.”
Government schools lose money when students choose alternative options because per-pupil enrollment figures often determine government funding. Hence, a desperate push to attract more students.
Europe Is Dying -- Are We Next?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Let's start with a very simple truism: You can't have prosperity without people.
Human beings are the most valuable resource, because it is human ingenuity that creates, captures and cultivates all other resources. We as human beings are the custodians and protectors of the planet, not the destroyers of the planet (as the radical environmentalists would have you believe). The richer and more technologically advanced we become, the more likely we are to avert a catastrophic event like a giant meteor crashing into the planet and destroying all life.
Which brings us to a potentially ruinous trend: Many countries are literally running out of people.
Silfab Solar Whistleblower Alleges Secret Illegal Operations in Fort Mill

- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
Jason Rhoades' testimony raises questions of negligence and fuels growing outrage over York County's handling of this foreign-run Fort Mill plant
A former Silfab Solar employee comes forward with evidence alleging the foreign company has been secretly in operation without appropriate permits and was fired days after asking for proof of occupancy permit.
In Fort Mill, a fierce dispute has unfolded over Silfab’s proposed manufacturing facility which is opposed by many York County residents who argue that the site, zoned “light industrial,” is dangerously close to two schools and poorly suited for a plant handling hazardous substances like silane and hydrofluoric acid.
A Discussion Between Concerned Patriots
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Bill,
Please bear with me on my question: Why did we not supply Ukraine with long-range missiles 3+ years ago so they could have destroyed Saint Petersburg and Moscow, ending the war as Russian civilians and soldiers quit or assassinated Putin, and saving 1.600,000 lives and $950,000,000,000?
Thanks, John
-------------------
Good to hear from you, John. You've asked a complicated question in my opinion, and the answer may be just as complicated, or perhaps perplexing.
Firstly, the war between Russia and Ukraine has possibly ancient underpinnings--i.e., hatred among people groups that goes far back in history, probably almost to not long after the dissolution of the Roman Empire. But dwelling on ancient rivalries and hatreds won't end today's chaos--it just gives a sort of "setting" for it. Much of it revolves around subscribing to "conspiratorial versions of history", which for the most part are not provable historically beyond doubt and which often are fomented by people or organizations with "agendas". This is especially the case in the ancient intrigues and violence that occurred between Russians and Ukrainians (or their predecessors in history over a thousand years ago).
Bed, Bath and Beyond California
- Details
- By Star Parker
The much-publicized exchange between Bed Bath & Beyond chairman Marcus Lemonis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a lesson for the whole country.
We shoppers look back fondly on the marketing acumen that, starting with one store in 1971, built Bed Bath & Beyond into a retail giant that once had 365 stores nationwide.
The shopping experience there was always great fun -- the basics of homemaking at great prices plus innovative trinkets that were always attention-getters at prices attractive enough to get you to buy what you weren't even thinking about when you walked into the store.
America is one of the MOST fair and diverse places in the world!
- Details
- By Tierney's Real News
I apologize for the rambling nature of this post but I want to make several points and this is the only way I know how to do that. I wrote this article to appeal to liberals. If I change the hearts of minds of just one person, it's worth it to me. Please share it with any liberal family or friends that you have. All they can do is say - NO. But, you just might plant a seed if you try.
Remember when WOKE companies like Coca-Cola & Target & American Express were pushing the "diversity, equity & inclusion" narrative in America - and trying to bully us into believing that America is racist and unfair and the rest of the world is not. They even wanted American children to believe that slavery originated in America! That's total BS.
America is one of the ONLY truly diverse places in the world and Vermont Republic, USA was the first state in the WORLD to officially abolish slavery in 1777. So, America was the FIRST COUNTRY in the world to abolish slavery - that’s the truth no matter how they spin it.
Mainstream Media Lies about Project Ukraine
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Battered but Rising Sources of Truth
First of all, where do the lies come from? The largest share of US and British news media “information” on the Ukraine War is the Ukrainian Government through the Ukrainian Military General Staff and Ukrainian military intelligence services. The Ukrainian General Staff strictly controls news releases by both foreign and domestic media. In fact, the Ukrainian General Staff is usually the only allowed source of Ukrainian War news, which most often comes in the form of a handout. There are only a few independent war reporters in Ukraine, and these are always in danger of arrest or harm when in Ukrainian held territory. Moreover, US CIA and British MI6 foreign intelligence agencies have a decisive and often creative influence on Ukrainian information warfare strategy and propaganda releases. Ukrainian propaganda generally far exceeds merely slanted news stories and data interpretation. Its most prominent characteristic is deliberate disinformation and wildly distorted interpretations of facts and data. False flag events are a prime tool of Ukrainian intelligence agencies, which are closely linked to heavy CIA and MI6 influence.
The Nuclear Solution to SC’s Energy Problem
- Details
- By Neil Wolin - SC Policy Council
With the signage of the S.C. Energy Security Act H.3309, utilities are moving fast to put natural gas plant construction plans into action.
While the state relies on nuclear reactors for over half of its energy baseload, the failure of V.C. Summer reactors 2 and 3 has oriented utilities away from any immediate reactor revivals or construction.
No nuclear means higher rates
In lieu of 2,200 megawatts V.C. Summer reactors 2 and 3 were supposed to provide, a new natural gas plant in Colleton County will replace an out-of-service coal plant to recreate that baseload. One megawatt equates to 1,000 kilowatts, and South Carolina’s total summer energy capacity in 2022 was 24,286 megawatts (similar to today).

WHICH IS WORSE? “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION”--------
A long time ago, before there even was a United States of America, we had a lot of angry folks living in what were then British Colonies. One of them came up with a “catchy” slogan, and a lot of the other angry people thought that it made a lot of sense. Eventually they got so perturbed and disgusted with their political situation that they revolted against the King in faraway England and his political cronies right in their midst, and established their own new country—the U.S.A.
VIDEO: Interim SCDPH Director Simmer Lies About Threats During Senate Hearing?

- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
Dr. Edward Simmer has become an infamous name in the Palmetto State this past year leading up to his failed Senate nomination hearing and aptly dubbed as the “Fauci of South Carolina.”
While Governor McMaster has positioned Dr. Simmer to dictate the health of South Carolinians since 2021, Dr. Simmer doesn’t have the qualifications for the job. Not only is Simmer a military psychiatrist, before DHEC he served as the deputy director of the TRICARE Health Plan at the Defense Health Agency, an insurance company in Virginia.
