When in the Course of Human Events
- By Ben Graydon
They came to escape an oppressive, unlawful government. They came not as rebels, for they were anything but, but as law-keepers, not unwillingly self-bound to obey the laws of nature and of nature’s God, including to honor their agreements with the king.
Many had experienced a repressive church, aimed not at drawing anyone nearer to God but at exercising and deepening its control over its adherents. That control had taken many forms – from placing autocratic authority into the hands of mortal men to manipulating English translations of the very Word of God to seem to command, from the voice of God Himself, submission to men in “biblical offices.”
The Biden White House Will Pay for Playing Inflation Games
- By David Harsanyi
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain recently endorsed the idea that inflation and supply-chain struggles Americans are struggling with are "high class problems."
I'm in no position to comment on whether the inflation spike we're experiencing is "transitory" or not (though, metaphysically speaking, isn't everything!). Maybe it will be a short-term problem sparked by supply shocks and pent-up post-COVID demand, or maybe inflation will linger for years and become a self-fulfilling prophecy due to expectations. Whatever the case, a president who feels comfortable with taking credit for "creating" millions of jobs after state-compelled shutdowns is likely going to be blamed. You can't have it both ways.
Are the Good Times Over for Joe?
- By Pat Buchanan
"When sorrows come," said King Claudius, "they come not single spies but in battalions." As the king found out. So it seems with President Joe Biden, who must be asking himself the question Merle Haggard asked:
"Are the good times really over for good?"
Consider the critical issue with voters today: the state of the economy.
Inflation in September stood at 5.4% year on year.
Biden’s DOE Nominee, Lhamon, Has CRT & Transgender Ideology Agenda
- By Eagle Forum
During President Donald Trump’s term in office, he and the Senate were able to confirm a record number of judges. However, the fight to place department heads was an entirely different story. Senate Democrats obstructed several of Trump’s nominees leaving some agencies without an official secretary. Although some Senate Republicans have sounded the alarm on some of President Joe Biden’s nominees, they have decided to play nicely… until now.
In order to continue his progressive agenda, Biden nominated Catherine Lhamon earlier this year to serve as assistant secretary for civil rights in the United States Department of Education (DOE). She held this position previously during the Obama administration which means we have a record of her dangerous agenda. She has three priorities she hopes to force on our children while in office: critical race theory, transgender ideology, and dismantling our justice system.
Christian Group Defeats City of Baltimore in First Amendment Ruling
- By Christian Newswire
BALTIMORE -- Church Militant / St. Michael's Media, a Detroit-based Catholic news organization, has won its first amendment case against the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
Tuesday night, Judge Ellen Hollander handed down a legal victory by granting a preliminary injunction against city officials, who had interfered to quash the group's prayer rally, scheduled for Nov. 16 at the MECU Pavilion.
"Plaintiff has demonstrated a substantial likelihood that it will prevail on the merits of its free speech (Count I) and assembly (Count IV) claims under the First and Fourteenth Amendments," wrote the judge in her order. "[T]he balance of the equities favors plaintiff; and an injunction is in the public interest."
American Legion Post 214 Lost A Hard Working Member
- By Tony A. Dunn
Aproud American! beloved brother and uncle, Christopher J. Baird 73, of Greenville, S.C. passed away 25 September 2021 after a brief illness with Covid 19.
Chris was proud Veteran and served in Country, in Vietnam and other Post. He was a charter member of the American Legion Post 214, and avid competition shooter and gun instructor. His greatest gift was his ability to make friends from all walks of life. Chris will sadly missed my fellow members of Post 214.
GooTube: Dems' Kiddie Propaganda Arm
- By Michelle Malkin
In case you hadn't heard, Vice President Kamala Harris' venture into government space propaganda for children was a galactic bust.
The veep's smarmy performance in a NASA agitprop video touting World Space Week was universally ridiculed and exposed this weekend after a local Monterey, California, TV station interviewed one of five child actors who auditioned for roles in the YouTube production. Canada-based Sinking Ship Entertainment (does it get any better than this?) cast and oversaw the scripted special for YouTube Originals, which the New York Post dubbed "bizarre." The Sun in the U.K. called it "cringe-worthy." It was phony-baloney on steroids (or maybe one too many mimosas, judging from Harris' tipsy delivery).
A School Horror Story That Didn't Fit the Narrative
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When the phone rang, it was every father's worst nightmare. Come to campus, a school official said, your daughter has been assaulted. No one told Scott Smith that she had been sexually assaulted -- that a boy wearing a skirt had walked into the girls' restroom and raped his 15-year-old child. Then, imagine your anger as a parent to find out that the school wasn't going to involve the police -- that they'd decided to handle the matter (which ended up being two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio) "internally."
The New Victim of Cancel Culture: Science
- By Star Parker
Cancel culture has reared its ugly head once again, and this time in a new and unprecedented way.
A lecture by a physicist was canceled at one of America's premier institutions of science, MIT, for reasons having nothing to do with the subject of the lecture. The lecture was canceled not because of its scientific content but because of the politically incorrect views on diversity of the scientist scheduled to give the lecture.
Dorian Abbot is a professor in the department of the geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago. He has an undergraduate degree in physics from Harvard and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Harvard.
The War Is on With China
- By Stephen Moore
With each passing week, it looks like World War III -- between America and China -- is coming sooner than we think. It's not going to be fought with bullets or aircraft carriers, although the Chinese are building up their military in an aggressive and threatening way.
This will more likely be an all-out economic war for global supremacy. The yuan versus the dollar. The Nasdaq versus the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Meanwhile, America is asleep at the switch -- at least, the Biden administration is. This is the worst possible time to be raising tax rates on American companies (Our business tax rates would be higher than China's under President Joe Biden's plan!), dismantling American energy (at a time when China is running 1,000 dirty coal plants with dozens more in construction), and running up the national debt (with China a major purchaser of the bonds).
Sink the New World Order Tax!
- By Pat Buchanan
Last Friday, in a triumph for transnationalism, 136 nations, including the U.S., agreed to mandate a global corporate income tax for all nations that will not be allowed to fall below 15%.
"Virtually the entire global economy has decided to end the race to the bottom on corporate taxation," said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who negotiated the pact.
Betraying a nervousness as to how such a minimum corporate tax, dictated by globalists, will be received in Congress, Yellen urged that it be adopted "swiftly." Yellen is right to be nervous.
The tax proposal is a giant leap forward toward a globalism that America has rejected, and its defeat should be made a priority of libertarians, conservatives, populists and nationalists alike.
Afghanistan Coverup – Call Sign Extortion 17
- By Mike Scruggs
Taliban Revenge against Seal Team Six
On May 2, 2011, members of Seal Team Six tracked down and killed Osama Bin Laden in his hideout in Pakistan. Seal Team Six had launched their highly secret special operation by helicopter from Afghanistan. Bin Laden was the Al-Qaeda mastermind of the terrorist air attack on New York City and the Pentagon in Washington that killed over 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Bin Laden was operating from Afghanistan at the time and protected by the Taliban. President Obama and the Defense Department had agreed that Seal Team Six would not be named in press releases. However, a few weeks later, Vice President Biden openly praised Seal Team Six in giving the Obama Administration credit for the operation. The Taliban swore to take vengeance on the United States and specially on Seal Team Six.

SC Judges Ordering Jail Time in Some Civil Cases
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In a rare move last month, attorneys asked a judge to order the “civil” arrest of prominent Hampton County lawyer Alex Murdaugh to compel him to pay their clients – the sons of a Murdaugh family housekeeper who died in 2018 after a reported fall in his home – from a multimillion-dollar settlement stemming from the death.
State law generally bans arrests in civil actions. But under an obscure law – the origins of which date to the 1800s – cited in the Murdaugh case, an arrest can be made in a civil case for “money received or property embezzled or fraudulently misapplied” by certain public or private officials, including attorneys.
Leading A Liberal To The Truth Is Like Trying To Nail ‘Jello’ To A Wall!
- By W.H. Lamb
There is another version of the truism expressed in the title to this article, which goes like this: You can lead a liberal to the facts but you can’t make him think! It seems logical to ask WHY this troublesome species of American citizens called “liberals” (also known as “progressives”, “socialists”, “maleducated clods”, “non-thinkers”, “left wingers”, and “moonbats”) seem to be so impervious to truth. Two or three years ago my long-time friends in another state sent me a little tidbit of “truisms” that they had gleaned from the internet. That article seems to have originated on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and was titled: “Is Logic the Same Thing As Common Sense?” Let’s look at each of these gems of logical common sense listed therein, and reflect on the degree to which they have made inroads into our society, and whether or not they make “common sense”. But these amplified comments are mostly my personal biases and beliefs:

This Is How I Feel
- By Barbara Powell
I came across this great “rant” recently on Facebook, but its author was not identified. But since this is exactly how I feel, I’d like to share it with all the readers of The Times Examiner, because I’ll bet this is how many, if not most, of you also feel.
“I need to RANT for a minute. I’m getting old and I’ve worked hard all my life. I have made my reputation—the good and the bad. I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I have busted my butt to get where I am in life.
I have juggled my job, my family, and I’ve made countless sacrifices up front to secure a good life for myself and my children. It wasn’t always easy and still isn’t, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I’ve never put anyone beneath myself or denied help to anyone. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you.

PVS Summit: During Our Crisis of Leadership, Believers Must Lead
- By Family Research Council
It's not news to anyone paying attention that we have a crisis of leadership in America. Our leaders in Washington, starting from the Oval Office on down, have bungled almost everything they have touched since January, often shooting themselves in both feet -- multiple times -- while the American citizenry is stuck paying the medical bills. From the Afghanistan disaster, to the fiasco along our southern border, to the vaccine mandate debacle, to the threatening of parental rights at school board meetings, to the inconceivably massive increase in our national debt, it's more than clear that our leaders are not just failing, they are threatening to bring down the country with them.
On the final day of the Pray Vote Stand Summit, a recurring theme emerged during the morning session amongst the speakers and panelists: it's high time that people of faith step forward and take hold of the reins by fearlessly leading with the truth of God's word.

School Boards Want FBI Protection from Parents
- By Meg Kilgannon - Family Research Council
Any parent who has watched or testified before a school board meeting understands how challenging it is to be heard and how often the work of the board bears little resemblance to the will of the people. Even with sympathetic elected officers, engaging the educational industrial complex is hard work. And recent action by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is making the job even harder.
On October 4, 2021, the DOJ announced an effort to determine if "a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence" at school board meetings requires federal intervention by law enforcement. Citing no specific examples of such threats, Attorney General Merrick Garland explained:
Six-figure Clubs Growing at USC, Clemson
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Last week, the Clemson University Board of Trustees gave president Jim Clements a five-year contract extension and an $86,200 raise through the university’s private fundraising arm, bringing his total annual salary to nearly $1 million, according to media reports.
About a third of his new salary – $318,781 – comes from the state of South Carolina. And Clements isn’t the only six-figure employee at Clemson and the University of South Carolina – the state’s two largest colleges.
The Nerve’s review of the state salary database, maintained by the S.C. Department of Administration (SCDOA), found that as of Sept. 1, a total of 2,102 USC and Clemson employees were making at least $100,000 yearly. That represented 48.5% of the 4,330 state workers in the database with salaries of at least $100,000.
The American People Are Rejecting a President Too Weak to Take On the Radicals in His Own Party
- By Neil Patel
President Joe Biden's poll numbers are tanking, especially among independent voters. The American people do not like weak leaders, and they do not like the craziness that's infiltrating their daily lives.
Biden campaigned as someone who could bring the country together. Since taking office, he's made no effort to do that. Instead, he has continually conceded to his party's far-left wing, which is growing crazier by the day. It's not clear if Biden is just too weak to take them on or if he is buying into their craziness, but either way, people are not happy. The Democrats are somehow making the Republicans seem appealing again to your average non-politically aligned voter. Given the current disarray in the Republican Party, this was a tall task. It's almost as if the two parties are competing to see who can turn off the middle more. This week, the Democrats are in the lead. Their policies are so crazy not even their allies in the dominant corporate media can succeed in selling them.
Are China's Threats to Taiwan a Bluff?
- By Pat Buchanan
Monday, four dozen Chinese military aircraft flew into Taiwan's air defense zone, climaxing a weekend of provocations that saw nearly 150 sorties of China-based fighters and bombers.
The U.S. State Department countered by issuing a stern statement warning Beijing about the adverse effect on regional "stability" of such "provocative military activity."
Yet even as the waves of Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan's air defense zone, President Joe Biden was reassuring Japan's new Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that the U.S. would defend the Senkakus from any Chinese attack.
Our Elected Allies Try to Fight Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Agenda
- By Eagle Forum
From the average American to elite politicians and celebrities, people are speaking out against vaccine mandates. Some believe that getting the vaccine is the right choice for them while others question the science behind it or are concerned about the unknown effects it may have on their bodies. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on, every individual should be able to make the decision for themselves without the force of corrupt politicians.
