Israel's EMS Organization, Magen David Adom, and Partnership of Israeli Organizations and Entrepreneurs Design Ventilator to Combat Coronavirus Shortage
- By Infinity Concepts
TEL AVIV -- As hospitals worldwide face a ventilator shortage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Magen David Adom, Israel's national EMS organization, and a coalition of other Israeli organizations and entrepreneurs, have developed a design for a low-cost ventilator that can be made locally from readily available parts.
Walker, Religious Liberty Ranger
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
The coronavirus has derailed a lot of things, but religious freedom isn't one of them -- thanks to judges who understand the Constitution.
One of those judges -- Judge Justin Walker -- was just nominated by President Trump to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals two weeks ago. But not one of them had any idea that the former clerk to Justice Brett Kavanaugh would go on to land one of the most newsworthy cases of the crisis. It was the luck of the draw that put Judge Walker smack dab in the middle of the controversy between Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and On Fire Christian Church, but the 37-year-old made the most of it, writing one of the most eloquent defenses of religious liberty that I've seen in quite some time.

What Price Victory -- in the Coronavirus War?
- By Pat Buchanan
The same day the number of U.S. dead from the coronavirus disease hit the 15,000 mark, we also crossed the 15 million mark on the number of Americans we threw out of work to slow its spread and "bend the curve."
For each American lost to the pandemic, 1,000 Americans have lost their jobs because of conscious and deliberate decisions of the president and 50 governors.

Trump is the Target
- By Ray Simmons
First-off. . .What follows is ONE MAN’S OPINION based on what I have read and listened to from many, many sources. The coronavirus crisis is a planned and executed crisis designed to remove President Trump from office and to perhaps save some very important people from having to face justice. I do not know who was and is involved in it. I have some guesses but will not voice them because I cannot offer proof to support them. The President and the people are being lied to and the major media, including FOX, is not being honest in their coverage.
Congress Investigates the Klan 1870-1871
- By Mike Scruggs
Political Majority Report Shamed by Truth of Minority Report
Part 5 of a Series on Reconstruction 1865-1877
At the end of war the South had not only suffered tremendous human losses, but was also materially and economically devastated. Yet there was no Marshall Plan for her recovery put forth by the dominant faction of Northern political leaders. Instead, Reconstruction was a plan to punish the South and remake Southern society, while continuing and even increasing her ruthless economic exploitation for the benefit of Northern commercial and industrial interests. The total war policies of the Union Army and the exploitive policies of the Reconstruction governments had caused a famine in the South in 1866, while the North was enjoying economic prosperity and plenty.
Kimberly Hampton's Helicopter Memorial in Easley, SC
- By Gilbert Scales
A Bell OH-58D Keowa helicopter model of the one that Captain Kimberly Hampton flown is now displayed as a memorial in front of the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library on Biltmore Road. It took nearly five years for Jim Garrison, supporters, politicans and military officers to find a identical helicoter model that she flew. The dedicated memorial is called Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Park. Hampton's helicopter was shot down over Fallujah, Iraq in January 2004. She was the first female pilot in U.S. history shot down and killed as a result of hostile fire.

- By Randy Page - BJU
In light of COVID-19 travel restrictions, Bob Jones University is offering both virtual visits and virtual College Up Close opportunities for individuals interested in exploring the campus and connecting with current students and faculty members.
“We knew we needed to find a way to continue providing prospective students the opportunity to see and experience life at BJU,” said Andrew Carter, University Host. “I believe these virtual experiences will help prospects in their college decision process as they connect with BJU students, admission counselors, and faculty in their areas of interest.”
Letter to a Friend
- By Ray Simmons
Hello, may I call you friend? And might I write you a letter? Sort of a strange way to begin an article isn’t it? But when I am writing I try to write as though each reader is a friend, and I think friends are scarce these days. Oh many people will tell you they have many friends and their “Facebook” can prove it. I don’t think so, a real friend is someone you like to be with, someone you can depend on when you are in need as well as when you are thriving, someone you like to just sit and sip coffee with, to share your plans and ideas with, he has your back and you have his. Maybe that isn’t a dictionary definition, but it’s mine. And I think those kind of friends are pretty rare. If you have one you are lucky, if you have two or three you are well blessed. I recently enjoyed a movie, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” which revolved around the life of the “Mister Rogers,” TV character who knew what friendship is and was a friend to most everyone he met.
Fixing College Corruption
- By Walter Williams
America's colleges are rife with corruption. The financial squeeze resulting from COVID-19 offers opportunities for a bit of remediation. Let's first let's examine what might be the root of academic corruption, suggested by the title of a recent study, "Academic Grievance Studies and the Corruption of Scholarship." The study was done by Areo, an opinion and analysis digital magazine. By the way, Areo is short for Areopagitica, a speech delivered by John Milton in defense of free speech.

COVID-19 & The Extreme Poor
- By Bright Hope
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Bright Hope publishes new, downloadable booklet for churches and Christ-followers to examine the COVID virus from an extreme poverty perspective.
Food Security, health and hygiene, social distancing, and medical care are all vastly different for those living on less than $2.00 a day. The spread of the COVID-19 virus could have devastating results in the remote villages and slums of the world.
Why Does The Choice Go By Forever ‘Twixt The Darkness And The Light?
- By W.H. Lamb
I’d venture a guess that most readers of this beacon of truth know at least some of the words to James Lowell’s (1819-1891) great 1844 poem—a 90 line masterpiece titled, “The Present Crisis”. It was first published in 1845 by The Boston Currier, written as a protest against the impending war with Mexico and as a condemnation of the existing evil institution of slavery, which had been incorporated into the new Republic of Texas in 1836. In 1896, Garrett Horder took Lowell’s epic poem and condensed it into the shorter but more familiar hymn—“Once To Every Man and Nation”-- that most Protestant Christians have always known. Both versions contain inspiring, beautiful, and quite troubling ideas which have “pin pricked” my thoughts for decades. To a certain extent, Lowell’s words still stand as a “two edged sword” ready to condemn those of us alive today with their thrust into our complacency, as lines #26 through #30 eloquently proclaim:
In a Time of Social-Distancing, Virtually Serving Others Becomes More Essential Than Ever
- By American Heritage Girls
American Heritage Girls Across the Country Virtually Join Together in Acts of Service Amid COVID-19
CINCINNATI -- While an abundance of events and activities have been canceled and communities are being asked to stay home amid the rapid-spreading COVID-19, for members of American Heritage Girls (AHG), serving others is still on the calendar. Adapting to their new 'normal' across the country, members of American Heritage Girls, a faith-based scouting-type alternative, are creatively using their gifts and talents to serve those in their communities while social distancing.

Coronavirus Stage 1 Is Nearing an End. Does Anyone Know What Comes Next?
- By Neil Patel
The amazing thing about COVID-19 is how much we still don't know. Even the experts don't quite understand the nature of the virus or how we should respond. Due to their evolving understanding, we have seen quite a bit of change in the guidance they give to the public -- which is fine, as long as they remain transparent. More than anything else, we need more explanation and more honesty from our authorities.
Our Hope in Christ's Victory Over Death
- By David Limbaugh
Many things about Christianity are counterintuitive but none more than this: God the perfect Father sent Jesus the perfect Son to Earth as a human being to suffer and die for the sins of imperfect human beings so that those who believe in the Son would receive the perfect Holy Spirit and live in eternal love with God.
Scripture makes all this clear.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16).
Trump's Presidency Hangs on One Decision
- By Pat Buchanan
Easter may not bring America the victory in the war against the coronavirus pandemic that President Donald Trump anticipated. But in this Holy Week, we may be reaching our Saratoga moment, our turning point.
While New York state reported a record number of deaths from the virus on Tuesday, over 1,800, new hospitalizations were down.
Referrals of patients to ICUs were down. Intubations were down. And the discharge rate for patients from hospitals was holding steady.
China's Accomplice: Guess WHO
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
The world will see them as a number. To everyone else, they were high school baseball coaches, single moms, nurses, priests, songwriters, teachers, and grandparents. They were veterans of World War II and rabbis who survived the Holocaust. They beat breast cancer, lung cancer, poverty, and old age. But they could not beat this. Almost 13,000 Americans -- everyone of them someone's daughter or son. Every one of them with an ending written partially by one nation: China.
COVID-19: Could, Maybe, Possibly, Might, Worthless Models, Greed
- By Devvy Kidd
As time has dragged on over this coronavirus, we’ve seen what was unthinkable a few short months ago. Nostradamus said the ‘east will weaken the west’. And, they have – at least for the moment.
The usual flame throwers out there (MSM pimps, Hollywood hate Trump crowd and seriously brain-dead politicians like AOC and Omar) continue to ramp up their hatred of President Trump. Nothing he’s done will ever satisfy them because the goal is to keep him out of the White House for another four years.
The Quarantine Blues Got You Down? New Website Solves That Problem
- By Isaac Newton Project
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The following is submitted by Fred Markert, he is director of YWAM Ascend (ywamascend.com) and serves at Highlands College (highlandscollege.com):
In his 1993 book, "Don't Waste Your Sorrows," author Paul Billheimer makes the point that it's not the mere presence of anxiety, fear, pain, or suffering, but how a person reacts to it which determines one's trajectory of personal growth through anxieties and difficulties. Billheimer encourages people not to waste their sorrows, but to use them as a catapult to launch them into significant personal growth.
The Grand Farce of American Social Distancing
- By Michelle Malkin
This week in Colorado, our statewide stay-at-home order was extended until April 26. Gov. Jared Polis urged everyone to wear a mask of any kind while outdoors. Local groceries are limiting customers to one every 120 square feet of the store. For the first time, my neighborhood playground on Tuesday was wrapped in bright yellow "CAUTION" tape. And in Brighton, Colorado, a father was handcuffed in an empty park by three police officers for playing T-ball with his 6-year-old daughter and wife.
Manipulation Through Racial Hoaxes
- By Walter Williams
We black people are so convenient and useful to America's leftists. Whenever there's a bit of silencing to be done, just accuse a detractor or critic of racism. A recent, particularly stupid, example is CNN's Brandon Tensley's complaint that the "Coronavirus task force is another example of Trump administration's lack of diversity." Tensley said the virus experts are "largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning." I'd like for Tensley to tell us just what racial or sex diversity contribute to finding a cure or treatment for the coronavirus.
Fred Schlafly Was the Best Man
- By Eagle Forum
SPOILER ALERT: A new Hollywood drama tries to defame Fred Schlafly by portraying him as a rapist! Nothing could be further from the truth. This terrible depiction of my honorable father is an attempt to discredit the loving relationship that truly existed between my mother and father. I know the truth because my bedroom was next to their bedroom!
Read about their real relationship in this beautiful eulogy of her husband Fred, written by my mother, Phyllis Schlafly:
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.”
St. Paul’s famous words apply to Fred Schlafly. He was a man of unshakeable faith in God, in Jesus Christ, and in the eternal life He promised. Fred lived his faith, always steadfast to his belief that eternal life with Jesus Christ awaits those who keep His Commandments.
Local Governments’ Emergency Power Grabs
- By South Carolina Policy Council
Local governments all over the state are adopting emergency measures to combat the COVID-19 outbreak – but not all of them are making their emergency declarations and ordinances easily accessible.
State law allows local governments to pass emergency ordinances in one meeting without giving the public any notice or a chance to read them first, and a number of local governments’ emergency actions are either incompletely published, difficult to find – or not published at all, leaving citizens in the dark on what their local officials actually enacted.
