Compelling Testimony from Mutilated Children
- By Eagle Forum
On the heels of Congress’s month-long recess, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing titled “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care.’”
Republicans invited witnesses with personal experiences, mental health expertise, and legal knowledge of this atrocious agenda. They included detransitioner Chloe Cole (who will join us for Eagle Council 51), former collegian swimmer Paula Scanlon, Director of the Center of Family Studies at Family Research Council Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, and senior legal fellow at Independent Women’s Law Center May Mailman. Democrat witnesses included the Legal Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights Dr. Shannon Minter and a mother of a transgender child, Myriam Reynolds. Dr. Minter, a biological woman who transitioned to a man hardly spoke on personal experience but instead opined on what theoretically happens during the process in which a child begins transitioning.
Civilization’s Interregnum - Part 1, Farewell To Freedom

Original Stories by W.H. Lamb
PREQUEL TO THIS SERIES, August, 2023
It’s been several years since I attempted to portray via articles the lives of people who won’t be born for another 400 or so years. A much shorter version of this series appeared in the old newsprint version of The Times Examiner four or five years ago. It consists of 21 parts, including this first part, all of which I’ll insert from time to time within the context of my usual Times Examiner articles, but frequently enough for you to remember the gist of the story. To tell the truth, I’m bothered by the impulses I’ve entertained for several years to tell this story again, because it concerns me that many readers will conclude that I’m resigned to the inevitability of the future I’m going to unveil to you, having spent much of my adult life, and many of my friends and fellow conservatives/Americanists I’ve had the privilege of knowing over all that time have done likewise, battling the forces of Marxism/collectivism/progressivism/socialism, all systems of repressive government that are inimical to our American concepts of freedom under law and are corrosive to the spirit of human liberty.
S.C. Counties Spending Above Population Growth, Inflation
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Oconee County Council Chairman Matthew Durham will tell you he ran on a campaign promise of low taxes and limited government growth.
Durham, who was elected to County Council in 2020 and became its chairman this year, says he was alarmed that the county’s annual budget grew by 45% since 2016, contending that if limited to population growth plus inflation, overall spending during the period should have increased by no more than 22%.
So Durham joined last month with two other conservative council members in passing a fiscal year 2024 general-fund budget that totaled $60.7 million – $6 million-plus less than what originally was proposed for the fiscal year that started July 1, and nearly $231,000 less than the final amended budget for last fiscal year.

Convention of States Holding "Simulated Convention" to Convince Legislators into Supporting Con-Con
- By The John Birch Society
The Convention of States (COS) organization is wrapping up its “simulated convention,” a mock Article V Constitutional Convention comprised of current state legislators from all over the country. COS and those attending claim that “it's being conducted just as how things would happen if we were to get to get to an Article V convention.” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
For example, the state of Illinois is being represented at this mock convention only by three Republican state representatives— all of whom were invited (i.e., handpicked) by COS to attend. In real life, Illinois is one of the most leftist states, with left-wing Democrats wielding a supermajority in the Illinois General Assembly. Furthermore, leftist Democrats also control every executive-branch position in the Illinois. Would Illinois really select conservative Republicans to represent it at a convention?
NGU To Offer Seal of Biliteracy Credit
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) is the first higher education institution in the state of South Carolina to offer credit to high school students who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy.
The Seal of Biliteracy is a certificate earned by high school graduates who demonstrate competence in a second language on a proficiency exam. Students who earn a bronze seal will be awarded credit for levels one and two of the language, 1310 and 1320. Those earning a silver or gold seal will be awarded credit for 1310, 1320, and 2310.
Should We Blame the Budget Players or the Game?
- By Veronique de Rugy
It's common knowledge among budget experts that the budget process is "broken." Anyone who regularly reads this column knows about debt limits, government shutdowns, out-of-control spending and borrowing ... the list goes on. Well, part of the problem is that almost 50 years since the last budget process reform, it needs a serious update. However, when we do that, let's not miss the elephant in the room: Things would work much better if Congress agreed to follow its own rules.
The Reason America Became the Land of Opportunity, and the Conspiracy to Destroy It
- By The New American
No other nation in all of human history has been as free and prosperous as the United States. And since its founding, no other nation has been the target destination of more immigrants seeking liberty and a high standard of living. It is for good reason that America has been labeled “the Land of Opportunity.”
For this July Fourth episode, we play one of the most popular films The John Birch Society has ever created. “Overview of America” looks at what made America so successful, and what government should be.
In the second half of the show, we discuss why America doesn’t look like the nation it once was. “Conspiracies: From Theories to Facts” makes a solid case for the secretive agenda to destroy the United States and create a one-world, tyrannical government.
The Inherently Atheistic Nature of Naturalism
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Naturalism is the philosophical concept that only natural processes are real. At its core it represents a complete philosophical denial of anything supernatural. This by its very nature excludes God from the picture, at best relegating Him to working behind the scenes. It fundamentally excludes anything that would not have happened from an atheistic perspective. It really leaves no place for God, and it turns out that that is the whole purpose behind it.
Support H.R. 24 to Audit the Federal Reserve
- By The John Birch Society
Members of Congress are seeking to enact legislation to conduct a full audit of the unconstitutional and unaccountable Federal Reserve.
H.R. 24, titled the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2023” is sponsored by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and is currently cosponsored by 67 other representatives.
If enacted, H.R. 24 would require the U.S. Comptroller General to conduct a full audit of the entire Federal Reserve System.
New Gloo Survey Reveals What Ministry Leaders Think About AI & the Church
- By Gloo
Initial results show that church leaders have a general understanding of AI, but are split in their views on how, or if, it should be used in ministry.
BOULDER, Colo. -- Gloo, the leading technology platform dedicated to connecting the faith ecosystem and releasing its collective might, announced initial results of its AI & the Church Survey. The survey was developed in conjunction with a working group of partners including Barna Group, Ed Stetzer, the Lausanne Movement, AI and Faith, and others. The goal of the survey is to help church leaders be more informed on peer sentiment, equipping leaders to drive the conversation around responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Candidate for President - E.W. Jackson Visits Southern Border
- By Bishop E.W. Jackson
EAGLE PASS, Texas -- E.W. Jackson, candidate for the Republican nomination for President, is visiting the southern border for the next two days. He is getting a guided tour by a retired Border Patrol Agent and meeting border residents impacted by Joe Biden's open border policies.
Says Jackson, "The first responsibility of the President is our national security and safety. Joe Biden has betrayed that responsibility and violated Article 4 of the Constitution, an impeachable offense. Securing the border will be a top priority for my presidency."
Stanton Healthcare Responds to Idaho Federal Judge Allowing Out-of-State Abortion Referrals
- By Christian Newswire
BOISE, Idaho -- U.S. District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill issued a decision siding with Planned Parenthood and blocking the state of Idaho from prosecuting doctors who refer women out of state for abortions.
Stanton Healthcare is deeply troubled by Federal Judge Winmill's recent decision, which once again sides with Planned Parenthood and puts the women of Idaho at risk. Judge Winmill's flawed ruling will only serve to promote 'abortion trafficking', where Idaho women will cross state lines to obtain a drug that not only endangers their health but also takes the life of an innocent child.

Are we in the middle of a major cultural shift?
Statistics from a survey group that has been gauging the political views of American youth for decades reveal an interesting development: Young women in the United States have made a notable move to the left, while young men have moved to the right, albeit by a more subtle proportion.
Since the 1970s, the group Monitoring the Future has kept track of where young people fit on the political spectrum. Over the last three years, their survey results have shown that approximately one-fourth of high school senior boys identify as “conservative” or “very conservative.” By contrast, 13 percent of boys surveyed identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.”
Mesha Mainor, Shining Star for Freedom
- By Star Parker
Republicans have a new shining star for the 2024 presidential election in the way of Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor.
Mainor, an African American who has been serving the Georgia state legislature since January 2021, announced two weeks ago that she is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican.
This is a decision of notable courage in that District 56 that she represents, located in the area around Atlanta, is deep blue.
5 Things You Should Know about Human Trafficking
- By Arielle Del Turco and Alaina Cothran - The Washington Stand
“Sound of Freedom” tells the true story of Tim Ballard, a Homeland Security agent who quits his job and joins forces with local Latin American law enforcement and underground contacts to rescue children caught in human trafficking. The film portrays Ballard as he sets up a sting operation that successfully frees a young Honduran boy and reunites him with his father. When the boy tells him about his sister who is still in captivity, Ballard becomes determined to find her. The heartfelt thriller has proven surprisingly successful, beating “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” at the box office on July 4.

Always Wrong and Never in Doubt is Henry Kissinger
- By Anne Schlafly - Eagle Forum
To celebrate his 100th birthday, Henry Kissinger flew to Communist China and visited with Xi Jinping, the totalitarian dictator, which echoed Kissinger's 1971 visit to China's then totalitarian dictator, Zhou Enlai. Xi said, "We'll never forget our old friend." Kissinger responded by reiterating his fifty-year support of the "one China policy," which is that he wants Red China to rule Taiwan.
Some in the conservative media (such as the American Spectator) have written glowing articles celebrating Kissinger's centennial, even calling him "an American patriot" (Francis Sempa). Let us remember the Kissinger record.
Will the Biden Administration Ban Cigars?
- By Stephen Moore
What is it with the Left that they want to ban nearly everything that is fun or convenient? Gas stoves, dishwashers, plastic straws, gas cars, snowmobiles and diving boards. And now the health busybodies want to ban certain cigars.
Recently, a gang of senators led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) wrote a letter to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf urging the agency to ban (or heavily regulate) flavored cigar sales. Under pressure from the health lobby, the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products said it's primed to take action in the weeks ahead. They say underage teenagers are smoking these cigars and are at risk of becoming addicted.
This makes as much sense as banning scotch because kids might smuggle a bottle from Dad's liquor cabinet, or outlawing R-rated movies because 14-year-olds occasionally sneak into the theater.
NGU President Confirmed to South Carolina Higher Education Commission
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
The South Carolina Senate voted unanimously on June 14 to confirm North Greenville University (NGU) President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr., to serve on the South Carolina Higher Education Commission. Fant was nominated by the Hon. Henry D. McMaster, Governor of South Carolina.
Established in 1967, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education is the coordinating board for the state’s 33 public institutions of higher learning. According to the commission’s website, the entity “acts both as an oversight entity on behalf of the General Assembly, and an advocate for the citizens of South Carolina as they seek opportunities to improve their lives, and those of their families, through higher education.”
The commission is governed by a 15-member board appointed by the governor. Fant will serve a two-year term, representing South Carolina’s independent higher learning institutions.
Jason Aldean and the Rebirth of Country Music
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
The tap root of authentic music is authentic culture, and when a culture dies, so does the music it generated. Years ago, country-music legend Loretta Lynn, quite correctly, pronounced country music dead.
The Southern Anglo-Celtic agrarian culture that had generated the country-western-blue-glass genres had been eroded by industrial mass and mono-culture, by political centralization, and by the philistinism of the music industry. In "Gone Country", Alan Jackson had warned us about opportunists, imposters, and profiteering outsiders.
One in Six Democrats Believes Violence Is Justified to Restore Abortion
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
One in every six Democrats believes that “force [is] justified to restore abortion rights,” a new poll has found, underscoring the secular Left’s growing support for political violence.
The number of Democrats backing abortion-related terrorism has doubled, from 8% to 16% since January — a period when multiple states have enacted pro-life protections. In all, 31 million Americans support the use of violence to reinstate abortion in U.S. law, up from 22 million just three months ago, according to a survey from the University of Chicago’s Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST) released this month.
The same percentage of Democrats agrees that “force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president,” as well as to “coerce Congress or government officials.”

Victoria Nuland and the Ukraine War Project
Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
On July 28, President Joe Biden nominated U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland for Deputy Secretary of State. She replaces Wendy Sherman, who retired the same day and had served the Biden Administration in that position since April 2021. This would make Nuland the second highest ranking power in the State Department, next only to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
All-Trimester Abortion Business Denied
- By Press Release
DuPont Clinic Will Not Open at Proposed Location in Beverly Hills
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- The DuPont all-trimester abortion clinic is not going into the City of Beverly Hills. According to an email from the Deputy City Manager, the building management company has rescinded its lease to DuPont after mounting pressure from the pro-life community, led by the initial efforts of Ms. Tasha Baker who started the website stopdupontclinic.org and the activist group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.
Tasha Baker worked with a local attorney in Los Angeles who shared her passion to maintain Beverly Hills' heritage as a refuge for the innocent and oppressed. Upon hearing of the victory against DuPont, Baker commented,

Another Look At The Curse Of “Abandonment Theology”
- By W.H. Lamb
In a previous article, we discussed some of the obvious reasons why our beloved America is slowly disintegrating into purposely induced chaos and tribalism, and I placed the blame for this descent into possible national oblivion squarely on the heads of the leaders of “people of faith”—i.e. Christian pastors/priests/ministers, and Jewish rabbis, and the congregations they claim to lead (including Christians who are part of the “home church” movement). I’ve never suggested, nor will I, that people of faith are retreating from the battle against evil and tyranny because they don’t love America, despite all its faults and its sometimes-tarnished heritage of freedom. Of course they—we all—say we do. But “talk is cheap”, we all know. Unless Christian Patriots and patriots in general study God’s Word, and read and study publications like The Times Examiner, The New American, WorldNetDaily, Breitbart News, Epoch Times News & TV, and many other pro-American and pro-Christian journals, blogs, web sites and podcasts of truth and abandonthe devious and lying “main stream media”--including ALL of the “alphabet” TV channels, most cable news channels, virtually all print newspapers and well-known “popular” magazines, and especially the anti-American, anti-free speech, culture destroying “socialmedia” like Facebook (Meta), UTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter (now called “X”), Thread, TikTok, etc.
Convention of States: An Amendment Would Force the Feds to Stop Spending Our Money
- By Joe Wolverton, II, J.D. - The New American
My final article examining the Convention of States’ (COS) “7 Guidelines for Drafting Proposed Amendments” concerns their mandate that any amendment submitted to them for consideration by those attending their convention has to have one of the following purposes:
- Impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
- Limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government
- Impose term limits on federal officials
As I’ve exposed the redundancy and inanity of the last and next to last, today I’ll do likewise to the first: impose fiscal restraints on the federal government.
Let’s put the most important consideration first: the U.S. Constitution.
