Greetings, my freedom loving Americans!
Welcome to 2024?! While you think I might be wrong about celebrating a new year, I’m very concerned by the ‘opportunities’ the US government, our States, and our local areas will use in 2024 to advance the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) from the UN (United Nations).
While we know that the push in our culture has been advancing us ever closer to these Goals, 2024 is going to bring about some REALLY big movements. As far as education goes, every single one of the plans being made will CENTER energy on educating, not only our PreK-college students, but every single citizen in our nation. This will DIRECTLY go in concert with the other countries (member states of the UN, just like America). So, no matter where you live, where you are reading this from:

The Gambling Industry Wants to Make Fantasy Sports Leagues Illegal
- By Stephen Moore
Here's a sad and textbook case of how companies all too often use the strong-arm of government to destroy their competition.
The online gambling industry in America spent years and years fighting against the powerful Las Vegas casinos to make online sports betting legal in the states. They won a historic Supreme Court case in 2018 that struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a federal ban on sports betting throughout the United States.
The court recognized this law as a protectionist racket -- and, for better or worse, almost overnight the floodgates were opened in most states for legalized online sports betting.
Major Resort Chain To Pay $26 Million For Causing Third-Degree Chemical Burns To Three-Year-Old Child
- By Trial Lawyers for Justice
MYRTLE BEACH, SC– Today, attorneys for the Douglas family announced that Brittain Resorts and its insurance companies have agreed to pay $26 million in exchange for a dismissal of a pending lawsuit and to avoid an upcoming jury trial. The Federal Court trial would have resulted in a jury deciding the value of compensatory and punitive damages for physical and psychological injuries to a three year-old-boy. The injuries were the result of chemical burns from a swimming pool with dangerous and illegally high levels of chlorine. Discovery in the lawsuit revealed that the chlorine level records provided to state regulatory agencies had been falsified for multiple years. Ashtyn was a happy toddler enjoying the pools and lazy river at one of Brittain’s properties, the Caribbean Resort, in Myrtle Beach when he suffered serious life altering physical and psychological injuries.
We Didn't Have the "Green Thing" Back In My Day
- By Author Unknown
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to me I should bring my own shopping bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
I apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.”
The cashier responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.

Ohio Becomes 23rd State to Protect Minors from the Transgender Industry
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
The bellwether state of Ohio has become the 23rd state to protect children from transgender injections and surgeries, and the 24th to safeguard fairness and privacy in women’s sports, as lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to override the Republican governor’s veto. Yet Democratic opponents claimed Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ would have supported transgender surgeries for kids, a transgender activist changed the words of a Christian hymn to support transgender surgeries, and liberals likened withholding cross-sex hormones from children to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Contact Your State Legislators about Key Legislative Issues
- By The John Birch Society
With 2024 getting underway, the legislatures of 46 states (except for Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Texas) are convening to begin new legislative sessions.
State legislatures are just as important as Congress — if not even more so — in protecting and restoring our individual, God-given freedoms. This year, legislatures across the nation will be debating bills on topics as diverse as nullification, Agenda 2030, election integrity, an Article V constitutional convention, and so much more.
Christians in North Africa Face 'New Year of Persecution'
- By SAT-7 USA
As Algeria shutters evangelical churches, U.S. organization says 2024 will be 'very difficult'
'PERSECUTION IS A CROWN WE WEAR': Christians in North Africa face a "new year of persecution" that is intensifying in the shadow of the Holy Land conflict, says Middle East media ministry SAT-7 USA (www.sat7usa.org).
EASTON, Md. -- Christians in North Africa, where less than 1% of the population follows Christianity, are facing a new year of escalating persecution in the shadow of the Holy Land conflict.
There are only a handful of evangelical churches still open in Algeria, where the government is raiding and systematically shutting down Christian places of worship, according to faith-based media organization SAT-7 USA (www.sat7usa.org), which has broadcast studios in North Africa and the Middle East.
Who Do Elected Representatives Think They're Representing?
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
How is it possible that someone is talented and involved enough to run for political office and win the election – but once in office, has no clue of the origins or purpose behind the very policies they are forced to consider? Specifically, policies dealing with comprehensive planning, such as Smart Growth, 30×30 land issues, energy, and transportation, all of which affect day-to- day life in the community. These are the issues that every city council and county commission in the nation is now faced with imposing on the community.
Georgia Right to Life Announces Georgia Stand for Life Event
- By Christian Newswire
ATLANTA -- Georgia Right to Life's annual event, Georgia Stand for Life Memorial Service, March, and Rally will take place on Friday, January 26, 2024, 11:30 a.m. at Liberty Plaza. Previously known as Georgia March for Life, this long-standing event is a memorial to the lives of more than 64 million preborn children whose lives were taken by abortion since 1973 and an opportunity for those who advocate for life to be encouraged and educated in their continuing efforts to bring equal protection to children in the womb in Georgia. While the name of the event has changed, the focus remains—to bring public awareness to the issue of abortion and the millions who are missing from our society as a result. This annual event has been held for more than 40 years.
SC Freedom Caucus Response to the State of the State
- By Press Release
Tonight, SC Governor Henry McMaster laid out his vision for the upcoming year and highlighted his administration’s successes in his annual State of the State address. In response, our Chairman, Adam Morgan (Greenville) delivered our view of the state of the State.
Notably, the Governor’s speech made no mention of the ongoing war being waged against conservative legislators in the General Assembly. Not only were Freedom Caucus members ousted from the House Republican Caucus last year, but earlier this month “Republican” House leadership was caught joining Democrats in begging lobbyists to fund candidates against the SC Freedom Caucus. This kind of blatant cronyism from the Uniparty must be quashed and condemned by all true Republicans.
The Family of Terri Schiavo Applauds Actor Kevin James for Defending Life
- By Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, a non-profit Terri's family established in her memory, wants to extend a heartfelt thanks to Kevin James for speaking on behalf of persons with brain injuries. In his new Amazon Prime stand-up comedy special "Irregardless," James asserts that only God should decide when life ends.
Bobby Schindler, president of the Life & Hope Network and Terri's brother, stated, "It is refreshing to hear someone in Hollywood speak on behalf of our medically defenseless, especially in this pro-death culture. Indeed, we have been desensitized to the dignity of those living with brain injures like Terri, the elderly, and others in medically vulnerable situations where choosing death is now the solution to treating these persons – a false and deceitful excuse for so-called 'compassion.' It is encouraging that in this cancel culture, a well-respected celebrity with an enormous fan base dares to speak the truth and that it should only be our Divine Creator who decides when a person's life ends."
Conservatives Try to Thwart Bad Immigration Reforms
- By Eagle Forum
Bad Border Deal
One thing you can never trust on Capitol Hill is a promised deadline. The Senate has been working on border security provisions to combine with supplemental aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The House-passed Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2) should have given Senators an excellent place to start negotiations. However, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s lead negotiator, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), may have negotiated away too much to the Democrats already.
Embracing Economic Freedom: Lessons from Javier Milei's World Economic Forum Address
- By Veronique de Rugy
In a thrilling address at the World Economic Forum, Javier Milei, President of Argentina, presented a robust defense of capitalism and a critical examination of all forms of collectivism. His speech, rich in historical context and economic analysis, offers some vital lessons that are particularly relevant for today's globalized economy. Sadly, these lessons have long been ignored by American politicians on the right and left, whether in Washington or on the campaign trail.
Milei began with a stark warning about the dangers of collectivist policies based on Argentina's own, sometimes sad, history. Once a beacon of prosperity under a capitalist framework, Argentina's shift toward collectivism over the past century caused its prosperity to plummet from a leading global position to a much lower rank. Its story illustrates how losing sight of free-market principles can result in economic stagnation or even absolute poverty.

"We are absolutely thrilled that someone of Sam's stature has offered to be the moderator," comments Dran Reese, Chief Executive Officer of Public School Exit. "Sam sees how broken the institutional system is and wants to help us fix it."
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 5
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One strong piece of evidence for Biblical creation that came out of the RATE project. Part of this project involved testing a very important assumption of radiometric dating. The assumption tested was that atomic decay rates are constant for each isotope. This is an important experiment because if nuclear decay rates were greatly accelerated at any time in the past radiometric dating would be completely invalid.
The research started with radioactive uranium isotopes and their decay products measured in the zircon crystals found in granite. The key to testing The assumption of radiometric dating is the diffusion rate of helium out of zircon crystals based on the amount a radiometric decay that has been estimated to have occurred in the subsequent helium produced over the amount of time that the crystals have existed. The scientists doing this research created models based on both time periods. One was a uniform rate of decay over the approximately 1 1/2 billion years that zircons were dated to. The other was 2 periods of accelerated nuclear decay during the Biblical time scale. These two events would have been during the creation week and the genesis flood.

The Assassination of Donald Trump and The Revenge of MAGA
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
They can't stop him by concocted sex and Russia-collusion charges, by two impeachments, by election theft, by the unprecedented and criminal home invasion of an American president, by endless bogus lawsuits, or by de-balloting.
Like an irrepressible and indefatigable figure from Greek legend, attacks on his MAGA movement and persecution of his person and family have made Trump ever stronger and ever more popular. So, that leaves Rasputinesque assassination as the only option left for the desperate Dems.
And, if and when Trump is assassinated -- probably sometime this election year -- America will explode.
WHO Chief: Nations Must ‘Counteract Conservative Opposition’ to Abortion, Promote Transgenderism
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A global government body has told nations it is “imperative” that they “counteract conservative opposition” and “enact progressive laws” that legalize prostitution and intentionally infect people with AIDS. At the same time, the international body has indicated it plans to roll out guidelines normalizing transgender cross-sex hormone injections worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) ushered in 2024 with a bulletin titled “Advancing the ‘sexual’ in sexual and reproductive health and rights: a global health, gender equality and human rights imperative,” co-written by WHO’s director-general, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, a former associate of Ethiopia’s repressive Marxist government.
Social Security: A Broken Socialist Dinosaur
- By Star Parker
It seems many still harbor, or want to perpetuate, the illusion that our Social Security system is not in trouble.
Let me quote here from a press release from the Social Security Administration released March 31, 2023:
"The Social Security Board of Trustees today released its annual report on the financial status of the Social Security Trust Funds. The combined asset reserves of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASI and DI) Trust Funds are projected to become depleted in 2034, one year earlier than projected last year, with 80% of benefits payable at that time."
