Stock Market Crashes in ‘Harris Trade,’ Says Analyst
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Global stock markets continued their Friday stumble with a Monday tumble, as all three major U.S. indices fell by two percent or more. The Dow Jones index, which fell 600 points on Friday, lost an additional 900 points on Monday. The Nasdaq lost 900 points over the two days, while S&P lost 250 points; meanwhile global stock markets also crashed, led by Japan’s Nikkei 225, which lost 12%.
Some analysts attributed the stock market crash to July’s lackluster jobs report, also released on Friday. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. economy added only 114,000 “nonfarm payroll” jobs in July, the second fewest for any month in the past two years, behind April 2024.
Who Do Our Elected Officials Actually Represent?
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
I’ve been told if I took the red pill, I would be able to see reality – the truth of what is really going on around us. Well, I just happened to have a red pill and I took it. Suddenly there was a bright light almost blinding my eyes. Then, like traveling through time, I was rushing forward, I grew dizzy, and then, as my eyes cleared and I could stand in a steady manner, everything became crystal clear!
I could see that the American people, and their every action, are being ruled, regulated, restricted, licensed, registered, directed, checked, inspected, measured, numbered, counted, rated, stamped, censured, authorized, admonished, refused, prevented, drilled, indoctrinated, monopolized, extorted, robbed, hoaxed, fined, harassed, disarmed, dishonored, fleeced, exploited, assessed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation.
Hold Your Congressmen Accountable to the Constitution
- By The John Birch Society
The Latest from the Freedom Index Tool
Do you know how your U.S. representative and senators voted on constitutionally important bills this year?
Learn how they voted by reading the third “Freedom Index” for the 118th Congress, which was published in the July 29, 2024 issue of The New American magazine. Also, please print and distribute our Congressional Scorecards, which are an easy way to inform others about how your congressmen are voting.
We live at a time when our federal government routinely usurps powers not granted to it by the Constitution. This is leading to an increasingly out-of-control Big Government that routinely infringes on our basic rights (property rights, privacy rights, religious liberties, right to bear arms, etc.). These infringements have grown worse with the Covid-19 overreach, climate-change tyranny, and Great Reset implementation that are betraying the very foundation of our Republic.

Vote with Your 'God Hat' On
- By Dr. Alveda King
"But when Sanballat and Tobiah...heard that the repairing...was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry. And they all plotted together to come... and to cause confusion. And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night." -- Nehemiah 4:7-9
As we enter another election season, amidst tremendous strife and chatter, many friends and colleagues are discussing who has their support at the ballot box. I have heard concerns that the Republican Party's recent platform has moved in the wrong direction, and the regular complaints about the candidates we have before us.
Will the Chevron Decision Fix Big Government?
- By Star Parker
The Supreme Court recently ruled to overturn the Chevron doctrine precedent that has stood since 1984.
Recent precedent reversals, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade, have gotten much more attention. But this change is of enormous importance, and everyone should know what it's about.
In the 1984 Chevron ruling, an environmental group, the Natural Resources Defense Council, sued to overturn a decision by the Reagan-era Environmental Protection Agency to ease regulation of emissions. The court ruled to uphold the EPA decision, reasoning that, unless the point of dispute had been addressed by Congress, the federal agency's interpretation of a statute should stand.

Just Who Is the Real Middle-Class President?
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden talked incessantly about his "from the middle class out" economic strategy. Given his record, it would have been more accurate to call it the "middle class down and out" plan. Inflation has eroded away any income gains under Biden's presidency.
Now Vice President Kamala Harris has her own riff on this theme. Her campaign motto is "building up the middle class." It isn't exactly "Make America Great Again," but Dems don't have a lot of time to come up with anything catchier, given that Kamala was reluctantly chosen as the 8th inning relief pitcher for Old Joe, who had long ago lost his fastball.
Remembering LBJ’s Vietnam War Operation Rolling Thunder
- By Mike Scruggs
The Costly Failure of Gradualist “Powderpuff” Air Warfare
American involvement in Vietnam remained largely advisory until late 1964. By June of that year, President Lyndon Johnson realized that North Vietnam was infiltrating regular army units into South Vietnam with five times the fire power of the South Vietnamese Army units.45 Following attacks by North Vietnamese patrol boats on the destroyers Maddox and Turner Joy in the Tonkin Gulf in August 1964, Johnson allowed U.S. Navy aircraft to retaliate against North Vietnamese patrol boat installations.
CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM—PART 14
- By W.H. Lamb
James Patterson’s Journal—The Story of The Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #6)
“By this time Pastor Lee was not only our spiritual leader but was the militia leader to the Jesus Sect community, not only in Andria but in villages up and down the Tomak river for many miles. He had his personal fortified compound deep in the forest, many miles inland from the river. Only a few people knew how to find it, and none of our JS members had ever been to his fortified home. He had a fanatically devoted group of around 80 militiamen who protected us, and him. We knew that only about half of them were true JS followers, but all of them despised the Enforcers and Overmasters. They also did their best to protect the Jesus followers from the pagan villagers, and it was not uncommon for those evil mockers and harassers to themselves be brought to justice by our militia. Whippings were the most common punishments for their first offense against us, but severe beatings and executions were not unknown either. Right or wrong, we had concluded that, in order to survive, we could not always “turn the other cheek” without some form of resistance.
Iran Rejects De-Escalation Efforts, Vows to Strike Israel
- By Emmitt Barry - Worthy News Correspondent
Israel is on high alert following the assassination of key terrorist leaders last week, facing escalating tensions with Iran and its proxies. Despite efforts by the US and Arab nations to de-escalate, Iran has threatened attacks on Israel, raising the possibility of a broader conflict. Amid these tensions, rumors from world leaders indicate that a retaliatory strike may take place over the next 24 hours.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a conference call with G7 nations on Sunday, warning that an attack on Israel by the Iranian regime and Hezbollah in Lebanon could start as early as Monday.
According to an Axios report, Blinken expressed concerns to the G7 leaders that both Hezbollah and Iran would retaliate for the recent deaths of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah official killed in Beirut, and Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas political leader, both of whom were killed last Wednesday. Axios reported that three officials familiar with the G7 call indicated a possible retaliatory strike as early as Monday.
Challenges for a Young Earth
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Here we have a list of common challenges to a young Earth. That is an earth that was created within Biblical time scales. In this article, we only discussed the challenges. The solutions that have been proposed will be brought up in other articles.
- Impact craters.
Every solid body in the solar system except Earth, Venus, Titan, and Io are covered with large numbers of impact craters. Earth, Venus, and Titan have significant atmospheres. Meanwhile, Earth, Venus, and Io are known to be volcanic enough to erase impact craters from the past. From a young Earth creation perspective, there is also the question as to where asteroids and meteors would actually originate, after all, God could have created a much cleaner solar system. Furthermore, there is the question as to when these impacts occurred. The time of the Genesis Flood is a natural time but so many impacts in such a short period of time would have turned most objects into balls of magma.
“Don't Be Silent,” Says Magnuson
- By Terry M. Thacker
“People are waking up,” said South Carolina state representative Josiah Magnuson. “They are seeing that the establishment in both parties are not working in the best interests of America. He spoke recently to a gathering of members of the Greenville County Constitutional Party.
Magnuson is a member of the Freedom Caucus, a small group of representatives within the Republican Part in the South Carolina House of Representatives. He has represented northern Spartanburg County in the Statehouse since 2016.
Although Magnuson is a Republican, his Constitution Party roots go back to his teen years. “This movement (Freedom Caucus) matters and you matter. You're part of it and the Constitution Party has been at the heart of this groundswell from years past.” He noted that the radical leftist organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, has labeled the Constitution Party as a hate group.
Conservatives Vow to Kill Biden's 'Pathetic' Supreme Court Packing Plan
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Conservative members of Congress have voiced their unwavering opposition to President Joe Biden’s plan to transform the Supreme Court via three constitutional amendments the president proposed on Monday, calling the backdoor court-packing plan “pathetic,” unconstitutional, and “dead on arrival.”
On Monday, Biden bowed to pressure to change the make-up of the Supreme Court by proposing three “reforms” during a speech in Austin, Texas. The most consequential piece of the package would establish an 18-year term limit for Supreme Court justices, who currently serve for life. That arbitrary barrier would immediately apply to the court’s three most-senior justices, including two of its most tenacious originalists: Justices Clarence Thomas (who has served 33 years), Chief Justice John Roberts (19 years), and Justice Samuel Alito (18 years).
$1.8B Mystery Could Cost SC Taxpayers Millions to Solve
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. taxpayer tab for outside attorneys and accountants hired in connection with investigations into the mystery $1.8 billion could run up to more than $5 million, records show.
And so far, no state agencies are claiming their share of the $1.8 billion, while a state task force created by the governor more than three months ago to investigate the matter still won’t say publicly whether the money even exists.
For the fiscal year that started July 1, lawmakers designated $3 million for “audit contracting” through the state Department of Administration, which later this month awarded a contract with a “potential” $3 million value to a global consulting firm to provide “forensic accounting services” in reviewing the $1.8 billion, according to online department and state budget records.
Bibi Netanyahu: Profile in Courage
- By Star Parker
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed this past week, at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson, a joint session of Congress.
The prime minister's job that night was to make clear to the Congress, to the nation and to the world the "what" and "why" of Israel's operation in Gaza, following the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, and why Americans should identify with and support Israel's struggle.
My heart went out to this brave and besieged leader as he made his case.

By Ignoring Netanyahu, Harris Broadcasts Shameful Inability to Lead
- By Richard Harris - Executive Director, Truth & Liberty Coalition
Israel is America's closest ally in the Middle East and the only democracy in the region. Last week, responding to an invitation from both sides of the political aisle, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. on an urgent mission to address Congress in a joint session. In his speech, he recounted the horrors of the country's war against Hamas and passionately laid out Israel's case, while refuting claims that Israel had deliberately starved Gaza.
Vice President Harris' only job as Vice President under the Constitution is to preside over the United States Senate, which means she is supposed to attend joint sessions of Congress. Harris couldn't be bothered, however, opting instead to attend a sorority house campaign event in Indiana. Nor was she (or President Biden) present to greet Netanyahu on the tarmac when he arrived.
Parents are Second Class Caretakers in California
- By Eagle Forum
Not the Nannies!
Having both had our children in our later thirties, my friend Liza and I would often talk about the ups and downs of being older, full-time moms. “Sometimes I get frustrated when younger moms and au pairs at the playground assume I am either the grandmother or babysitter,” she said one day. “I want a shirt that says, ‘Not the Nanny’!” So, as a gag, I went on Zazzle.com and created one.
Although I sold a few of the shirts, I never actually wore mine in public. This was back in 2006, during a flare up in the so-called Mommy Wars that pit mothers who are full-time caregivers and those who are working professionals. I was cautioned that it might be seen as derogatory to both working moms and nannies alike. I didn’t want to start any playground fights!
Biden's Rent Control Schemes Will Backfire on Renters -- They Always Do
- By Stephen Moore
It's clear why President Joe Biden desperately wants to bring down housing prices and rent. With mortgage interest rates double what they were when former President Donald Trump took office, mortgage payments have roughly doubled since 2020, and rents are up in many cities by more than 30%.
So much for the dream of homeownership. And just finding an affordable rental unit larger than a dorm room is getting harder all the time.
Biden blames "greed-flation" for the high rental costs. He's now proposed a two-pronged plan to combat rising rents. First, he wants to reinstate rent controls in major metro areas and impose financial punishments on landlords if they raise rents by more than 5% a year. And second, he wants to make it illegal for landlords to use computer algorithms for setting prices.
Blocks from Capitol, Anti-Semitic Activists Burn U.S. Flags, Raise Palestinian Flags in Their Place
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
An already historic year grew more unprecedented Wednesday when anti-American activists nearly disrupted a foreign leader’s speech to a joint session of Congress. In a speech designed to strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saluted the University of North Carolina fraternity brothers who “protected the American flag against these anti-Israel protesters” during a campus riot in April. Half an hour later, the anti-Israel protestors tore down more American flags only blocks away at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station.
The Battle for Biblical Christianity
- By Mike Scruggs
North America and Europe
According to a Pew Research Center estimation in 2020, about 2.38 billion of approximately 8.0 billion people in the world are at least nominally connected to Christianity. Christianity is the largest religion in the world and still growing. It is by no means confined to North America and Europe. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC) data for 2010, the U.S. had the largest absolute number of nominal Christians with 247 million, which constituted 79% of surveyed adults. However, a later PRC 2019 survey showed nominal Christianity in the US had dropped sharply to 65 percent. In 2010, Brazil was second with 176 million and 90 percent of surveyed adults. Mexico was third with 108 million and a nominal 95 percent Christian, and Russia fourth with 105 million (74%). Ranking number five was the Philippines (93%). Nigeria was sixth with 81 million, representing 51 percent of the population. China was seventh with 67 million, which is only 5.0 percent of the population. The Congo ranked eighth with 63 million (96%), Germany ninth with 58 million (71%), and Marxist governed South Africa 53 million (85%).

RACHARD LEE BECOMES PASTOR OF ANDRIA CHURCH
“During this time we elected Rachard Lee as our new pastor. He had a very old God’s Bible that he showed to all of us one dark Sabbath night. We had only fatwax candles to see by, but he showed us the page at its front where it said it had been printed in someplace called ‘Atlanta, Georgia’ back in A.D. 2142, which he told us was just before the start of the time when people on our continent all began to fight each other. Lee told us that night that no one knew how long these wars had been going on, but that he believed that it had been for a period of hundreds of years. He said that his old Bible had been authorized by a new king named James, who had probably lived before the start of the wars that had ripped apart our continent and its people.
The Preeminent Constitutional Duty of an American President
- By Allen West
The very first enumerated power bestowed upon an American president is the title of Commander-in-Chief of our military forces.
Greetings, everyone. It appears as though the presidential contest is set…no, seriously this time. Yes, former President Donald Trump will, supposedly, be taking on Vice President Kamala Harris. I still have questions about who is running the Country now. In a few weeks, after the DNC convention in Chicago, shades of 1968 anyone, the dye will be cast. But this missive poses a very important question that real Americans should be asking. The answer is easy, and it is found in the US Constitution in Article II, Section 2, first thing.
END THE FED: Abolish the Federal Reserve Board by Passing H.R. 8421 and S. 4463
- By The John Birch Society
Legislation to abolish the Federal Reserve has been introduced in both the U.S. House and Senate. Please contact your U.S. representative and senators, and urge them to support and cosponsor these important bills!
H.R. 8421 and S. 4463 are titled the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act. H.R. 8421 is sponsored by Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and is cosponsored by 23 other representatives, while S. 4463 is sponsored by Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah).
If enacted, H.R. 8421 and S. 4463 would fully abolish the Federal Reserve, repealing the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and abolishing the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve banks.
Olympics Opening Ceremony Mocks the Last Supper -- 4 WINDS USA's McConkey Told You So Since 2003
- By Christian Newswire
MADISON, Wis. -- In a performance, drag queens mocked the Last Supper at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony. A group of 18 performers posed behind a long table with the Eiffel Tower and Seine River in the background.
At the center was a woman with a large silver headdress, resembling a halo as depicted in the paintings of Jesus at the Last Super. The ornately dressed woman smiled and made a heart shape with her hands. The others at the table started dancing. Also, there were other things in the opening ceremony that were alarming and beyond normal.
Steve McConkey, President of the worldwide sports ministry 4 WINDS USA, counters the LGBTQ sports movement. "I have warned people since 2003 about radicals using the International Olympic Committee to push radical agendas," states McConkey. "They are a part of the UN's 2030 Agenda which endorses globalism and radical agendas. Hopefully, people have had enough. The vast majority of the athletes, coaches, and officials do not support these agendas. I tell the athletes to concentrate on their competition and glorify God. Most of the athletes are young and have given up much to be in the Olympics. They are not equipped to handle the globalist powers, but we can."
