The Transportation Highway to Dystopia

Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency allocated $3 million for Tennessee to develop its first-ever climate plan through a Climate Pollution Reduction Planning Grant, which was established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The plan is to be divided into two parts and done over four years: the Priority Climate Action Plan and the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan.
But this plan is not just for Tennessee, it is for every state. Multiple departments of the federal government have put this plan together, and they certainly aren’t about to write a different one for other states. Look into your local general plan, and you might just see these edicts spelled out there.
The Use and Misuse of History

Google Epitomizes the Misuse of History, Suffers $90 Billion Stock Selloff Thanks to Its Woke Gemini AI
[Charleston Athenaeum Press' Publisher's Note, by Gene Kizer, Jr. - Google's Gemini accidentally pulled back the curtain and revealed a hideous, racist, grotesque Google standing there naked for all the world to laugh at and NOBODY to ever trust again.
Google and other cheats have interfered in elections by manipulating search results so Woke leftists get top billing while people with far more talent and honesty are never found.
Google has just confirmed that AI is nothing but a way to magnify leftist politics by a trillion and put it everywhere on the planet so truth can never be found. "Truth" is now what Google reveals in every search on everybody's computer from now to kingdom come.
Christian Worldview Week Set for March 4-6 at NGU
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) will host Christian Worldview Week March 4-6, featuring talks from Dr. Katie McCoy and Jason Thacker on “Thinking Christianly about Human Nature.”
Christian Worldview Week has been a highlight at the University for nearly two decades.
“North Greenville always takes seriously the centrality of a biblical worldview in a Christ-first education,” said Dr. Nathan Finn, executive director for NGU’s Institute of Transformational Leadership. “Christian Worldview Week provides an opportunity each spring to invite our entire community to reflect on an important topic from the standpoint of Scripture and consider how it relates to us serving as transformational leaders for church and society.”
Alabama Embryo Ruling Trickles Up to Congress
- By Eagle Forum
Save the Baby Embryos!
A landmark Alabama Supreme Court ruling sent shockwaves throughout the nation on Friday. In a 7-2 decision, the justices ruled that embryos created through means like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are “minor children” under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. This sent Democrats — and a few Republicans — into a tizzy trying to protect the IVF industry. However, the ruling has little to do with IVF and everything to do with the value of life.
Which is more believable, Genesis or the Big Bang Theory?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The one that you will find more believable between Genesis and the Big Bang Theory depends upon your philosophical starting assumptions. If you look at the evidence from a theistic creation perspective, you will find Genesis to be the most believable. If on the other hand you look at the evidence from an atheistic, naturalistic materialistic perspective, then you will be forced to accept the basic Big Bang to man story regardless of what the evidence actually is.
The State of Black Progress
- By Star Parker
As part of Black History Month 2024, my organization, CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, has announced the release of "The State of Black Progress," published by Encounter Books.
This is a follow-up to "The State of Black America," published by CURE in 2022.
The objective of these tomes is to showcase first-class scholarship to paint a comprehensive picture for thinking much differently about the reality facing Black Americans than what has been the norm for many years.
Big Hair and Eyelashes Cannot Turn a Man into a Woman
- By Kris Ullman - President of Eagle Forum
A principal in an Oklahoma City elementary school was recently forced out of his job because he performs Drag in his spare time. After Libs of Tik-Tok posted the story, Shane Murnan, who uses the stage name Shantel Mandalay, was asked to resign. Murnan claims he has been a female impersonator “for as long as he has been an educator, and his two careers had never been a concern for an employer before last year,” according to the Washington Post. The controversy has “created an environment of fear among teachers at school,” Murnan told the Post.
Michigan Takes a U-Turn Back to the Rust Belt
- By Stephen Moore
No state in modern times has transitioned from a worker freedom state to one that forces workers to join a union and pay dues to labor bosses. All the momentum across the country in the last two decades has been in the opposite direction: allowing workers the right to choose a union -- or not.
That's why what happened last week in Lansing, Michigan, is such a tragic setback for workers' rights and for the economic competitiveness of the state where Henry Ford rolled off the assembly lines the iconic Model T some 100 years ago.
Middle America Wakes up to the Left
- By Anne Schlafly
“Woke” is a shorthand expression that encompasses the radical ideas of the Democrat agenda: critical race theory, diversity-equity-inclusion, “trans” children, elective abortions up to the moment of birth, and the squelching of our speech and ideas.
Do not despair! Americans are not buying what the Democrat progressives are peddling. Americans want the cream to rise to the top and we celebrate true meritocracy. Their “diversity” is employment based on superficial characteristics, not merit. Their “equity” replaces opportunity with predetermined outcomes. Their “inclusion” eliminates rules and discipline. It is no accident that diversity-equity-inclusion is called DEI. DEI is the Latin word for God; those who promote DEI see themselves as godlike.
Stop Resolutions Making Application to Congress to call a [Constitutional] Convention for Proposing Amendments
- By The John Birch Society
Lawmakers across the country are being beguiled into introducing and passing resolutions making application to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the Constitution, also known as a federal constitutional convention (Con-Con), Article V Convention, or a “convention of states” as some erroneously call it.
Given the current widespread lack of knowledge about the Constitution and understanding of the principles of liberty that undergird it, convening such a convention today is likely to result in far greater harm than any purported benefits — placing our entire U.S. Constitution and republican form of government at jeopardy. Rather than pushing resolutions that apply to Congress for an Article V Convention, state legislators should consider nullification to rein in federal overreach. To safeguard the Constitution, urge your state legislators to oppose all Article V constitutional convention resolutions.
The Evils of Socialism
- By John Porter - Harrison, Arkansas
I write about the evils of Socialism so much, that I have been asked by many people around the country if I would write a definition of Socialism, its inherent evils, and the effects it would have upon us as individuals. The following is my attempt at answering that request. For certain, it would be a death blow to capitalism as well as to the God-given freedoms that we have enjoyed for so long in the United States.
Our country’s economic system is called capitalism. It is based upon private ownership of property, which includes the means of production for the creation of goods or services for income and profit by individuals. It is a free market economic system based on the recognition of individual rights to own property (lands, businesses, goods, etc.). Such rights give individuals security and a means to control their own affairs and, thus their own destiny. Under capitalism, private citizens, with their ownership of property, are responsible for producing and distributing goods.

Call to Action: Three Important Action Items
- By Greenville Patriot Caucus
You know we're in legislative session when you get a multitude of updates on Calls-to-Action!

GPC strives to simplify the complexity of this season, to keep you well-informed, and in a position to make a difference. Choosing to be a part of Greenville Patriot Caucus means being a part of the solution - but that doesn't come without hard work and diligence. So while we understand it can be heavy to receive multiple updates to Calls-to-Actions, we need you to stay plugged in and remain active participants by acting on the CTAs we send out. The bills are moving rapidly this legislative season and our reps are saying they've been able to stop multiple bad bills already based on grassroots efforts. This is how we #AdvanceLibertyTogether! Thank you for choosing to be a part of Greenville Patriot Caucus.
Hostility to Churches Fueled by Biden’s Anti-Faith Climate
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
“It’s an emotional moment,” Pastor Robin Lutjohann said quietly, surveying the rubble of his church. “It’s been a place of worship for a number of communities for over a century,” he told reporters after a six-alarm fire raged through the building Easter Sunday, destroying the Massachusetts landmark. “It fills me with sadness and dread about the work that is ahead of us,” Lutjohann admitted, wondering why anyone would have such malice toward Faith Lutheran. “If and when a person is found who has done this then we will pray for the power to forgive,” he insisted.
Unfortunately, his congregation isn’t alone in that prayer. An astonishing 436 churches in America were victims of criminal attacks in 2023, according to a new report from Family Research Council — more than double the number in 2022. From shattering stained glass and spray-painting relics to lighting five-gallon drums of gasoline on fire and riddling altars with bullet holes, houses of worship have become an increasingly dangerous target.
The Tucker Carlson Interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin
- By Mike Scruggs
Why It is Important to American Security - Part 1
Chinese philosopher General Sun Tsu advised that good military and political leaders must know both the nature and capabilities of their potential enemies and also their own nature and capabilities. The two most common mistakes in war are underestimating your enemy and overestimating your own capabilities. The best victories are won without conflict.
On February 6, Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin within the walls of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian government power in Moscow. Moscow is a city of 13 million residents, the largest city in Europe. Its metropolitan population is over 21 million, also the largest in Europe. It has been the capital of Russia several times in Russian history, most recently since 1918. Tucker Carlson was surprised at how beautiful and clean Moscow has become in the last 20 years. The population of the Russian Federation is approximately 145 million. Geographically, it is the largest country in the world and according to WorldAtlas ranks fifth in natural resources, depending on how you rank the value of various strategic commodities and their diversity. The U.S. ranks seventh. Russia is not “a gas station masquerading as a country,” as John McCain once derisively asserted.

NRB acknowledges that longevity in any field is a rarity and exemplary service in Christian Broadcasting for more than 50 years is a feat worthy of recognition and applause. For this reason, the “Milestone Award” is reserved specifically for organizations with more than five decades in Christian Broadcasting.
Department of Transportation Looking Into Disabling Cars At-Will
- By Eagle Forum
The Biden administration is trying to be a “backseat driver” by encroaching on our property and privacy rights. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started the process of implementing a device mandate in all new cars that would spy on our driving and have the ability to disable the car. Mandating a kill switch in our vehicles would be the death of our automobile autonomy.

A “PROPHETIC” TALE OF PERSECUTION, RESISTANCE, AND COURAGE IN FAR FUTURE TIME.
Imagine, if you will, a small group of archaeologists working in and under an ancient building high over the banks of the Tomak River, close to a small city named Andria, in the country known as The United Republics of the East (U.R.E). It is a building that has survived the ravages of time and the hatred of malevolent forces over most of its existence. Perhaps sometime in the mid-part of the 28th century these archaeologists make a historical find underneath that newly renovated and restored ancient building on the banks of that river, a building that was around 900 years old at that time and that had been used as a church by the Sectof Jesus Followers for a century or more, during a time of severe persecution of Christians. Imagine, then, that in a sealed metal box buried under that church over 300 yearspreviously, they discover a personal journal written by an Elder of that Church. So here is his and his Christian brethren’s story of fear and faithfulness, of peace and violence, of resistance and defeats, of loves for each other and of their Savior, as written down sometime in the early 25th century—near the end of the “Dark Time”--far, far into our own future, which we who live today in the year 2024 will bring about by what we do, or DON’T do!
California Court Rules in Favor of Temecula Valley Unified School District Over Parental Rights Fight
- By Advocates for Faith & Freedom
MURRIETA, Calif. -- Today, a California Court ruled in favor of the Temecula Valley Unified School District, affirming the district's parental notification policy and a resolution prohibiting the teaching of critical race theory (CRT). Last year, a lawsuit was filed against the school district by a group of political activists and the Temecula Valley Educators Association, challenging a resolution that restricts false and divisive CRT curriculum and requires teachers to inform parents of their students' gender transition.
Too Many Corporations, Like Universities, Have Lost Their Way
- By Star Parker
Universities are not alone among our institutions that have lost their way. How about America's corporations, which now seem to think social justice is their job, beside efficiently delivering goods and services to the American public?
In a recent panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Institute, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank, rang the alarm about the nation's debt.
He noted what is already widely known -- that federal debt now equals 100% of GDP, on its way to 130% of GDP by 2035.

Should the US Rethink Its Mid-East Policies?
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
There are times when even world powers need to step back from long held policies that have been the hallmark of what they consider to be protecting their interests.
Countries do this, not because of cowardice or to save money allocations, but for very pragmatic reasons: to prevent wide-spread conflagrations that may endanger, not only them, but many other countries and people.
Such may very well be the issue at hand for the US vis-à-vis its Mid-East policy. While Israel has been a long-standing ally for many years—and it has been American policy to fund and support it—it is now involved in a conflict that that has seen thousands killed, including now US service people.
Four States Can Flip the Senate in 2024 – Flip Your Coins in Eagle Forum PAC!
- By Eagle Forum
For three years now, Democrats have held the majority in the U.S. Senate under Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). He has used every tool possible to push the radical Biden Administration policies – open borders, abortion on demand with taxpayer funding, and gender madness in our schools, hospitals, and military. He has prevented conservative House-passed legislation from being considered, held up the spending bills, and prevented Republicans from being able to offer amendments to legislation that is brought up for a vote.
Equipping You and Others to Defend the Constitution
- By The John Birch Society
Across the country, state legislatures are considering resolutions to apply for a disastrous Article V constitutional convention (Con-Con), incorrectly referred to by some as a “convention of states.” The push to change the U.S. Constitution — which could result in an entirely new “modern” (i.e., socialist) constitution — is one of the most serious threats to the Constitution that we face.
To help better equip you and others with the truth — including the many pitfalls of an Article V convention — we have launched a new series of short Con-Con videos, titled our “Article V Academy.”
How the Education System Is Indoctrinating Our Children to Death
- By Liberty Sentinel
We hear a lot about how the education system is deteriorating. However, the truth is that this broken system was actually by design. The founders of the modern education system were communists who sought to indoctrinate our children with collectivist ideas. Joshua Philipp, the host of The EPOCH Times' hit show, Crossroads, speaks to Alex Newman, an award-winning international journalist and author of “Indoctrinating Our Children to Death,” about the real agenda behind the education system.
