Free-Enterprise Capitalism vs. Socialism
- By Allan Brown - Greenville, SC
Socialism was being promoted in the U.S. long before Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President and began implementing his socialist agendas. The national media, public education, university professors, politicians, the entertainment industry, and assorted propagandists continue to proclaim socialism the path to Utopia and capitalism the “Jack the Ripper” of economics.
Many have been led to believe Acts 2.44-47 in the Bible justifies a socialist economy, failing to understand believers in that passage voluntarily agreed to share their possessions equally – they were not forced to do so a socialist political state.
Cancellation Nation: The Building Backlash
- By Family Research Council
First it was pancake syrup and Paw Patrol. Now, even Scrabble isn't safe. You can forget the triple word score on at least 236 "slurs" the North American players association is stripping from the group's lexicon. The goal, these gamers say, is to make the game "friendlier" for all types of people. Of course, no one has seen the official list of "potentially offensive" words -- leaving many to wonder if this new vocabulary is just W-O-K-E.

Despicable Behavior of Today's Academicians
- By Walter Williams
The Michigan State University administration pressured professor Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation because he touted research that found police are not more likely to shoot black Americans. The study found: "The race of a police officer did not predict the race of the citizen shot. In other words, black officers were just as likely to shoot black citizens as white officers were." For political reasons, the authors of the study sought its retraction.
Black Lives Matter and White Guilt
- By Mike Scruggs
The Subversion of American Culture, History, and Government
In September 2016, I wrote an article on Black Lives Matter and the Muslim Brotherhood that has been getting a large number of recent internet hits. Hence, I can compare the Google articles of this week with those of nearly four years ago. According to the recent Google order and quantity of results, Black Lives Matter (BLM) has moved from an organization closely associated with orchestrated rioting, wanton destruction of private and public property, defamation of law enforcement officers, and Marxist ideology to a principled paragon of civic idealism seeking racial justice and reconciliation especially focusing on preventing police brutality toward blacks. Actually, the only things that have changed are that BLM in now lavishly financed by hundreds of naïve or bullied corporations, millions of utterly deceived idealists, and even more generously by George Soros and his civil rights front organizations. Doubtless, the Muslim Brotherhood still supports them. However, BLM is now one of the largest and richest organizations in the United States. They also have strong, mutually supportive relationships with the Democrat Party and its candidates. Their posh funding and connections have greatly improved their public relations image, although they are more dangerous and subversive than ever.
On Standing Up and Speaking Out – An American Vision

Riots, Police, the US Government and Our Constitutional Republic
- By Joan Holleman Brown, Writer for the Summerville Journal Scene, Summerville, S.C.
Years ago, about 11:00 PM I exited the Cooper River Bridge from Mt. Pleasant and merged onto I-26 toward Summerville. Suddenly, one tire exploded! Driving slowly on the tire rim, I finally found a place wide enough to pull over. Around midnight I began to pray for help. Miraculously, a young, off-duty, black police officer stopped to help me. He changed my tire and sent me on my way. Feeling eternally grateful, I mailed our Charleston policeman a thank you note. This story exemplifies America’s vision of our men in blue.
Nigeria: 1,202 Defenseless Christians Hacked to Death by Jihadists in Six Months (Jan-June 2020)
- By Christian Newswire
ONITSHA, Eastern Nigeria -- Threats to citizens’ rights to freedom of worship and religion in Nigeria; the world’s first human right, have continued unabated with hacking to death by the country’s Islamic Jihadists or radical Islamists of no fewer than 1,202 defenseless Christians in first six months of 2020 covering January to June; involving Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen 812 Christian deaths and Boko Haram/ISWAP and others 390 Christian deaths. Boko Haram/ISWAP had during the period killed over 600 persons and over 260 in the past 45 days of 15th May to 30th June 2020; out of which, 300 of them were strongly believed to be Christians. That is to say that between 1stJan and 14th May 2020 when we did our last update, not less than 200 Christians were hacked to death by Boko Haram/ISWAP; and out of over 260 killed by the same Jihadist sect from 15th May to 30th June 2020, not less than 100 were strongly believed to be Christians.
Uncle Sam is Trying to Figure Out Where He is and Where He's Going
- By Ray Simmons
I’m wondering how President Trump is handling all the many facets he has to be facing when he gets out of bed each morning. For now he has to be the Uncle Sam we are depending on to help us out of the mess we are in. We have a few others who think they play Uncle Sam better than Trump does, specifically a local House Chairperson with her mighty gavel who tells us we first have to pass a Law before we can find out what’s in it. She has another play-like Uncle Sam who thinks he should be the Senate leader instead of the republican who holds that chair. No one but God really knows what those two would do if they were in Trump’s position, and they seemingly don’t believe even God knows.
The Authoritarian Left Fears a Level Playing Field
- By David Limbaugh
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman's proposal that Joe Biden shouldn't debate President Donald Trump unless "a real-time fact-checking team" is part of the mix is an ironic illustration of the closed-mindedness of the left.
Why would Friedman want a candidate who is eager to contrast his views with Trump's to impose conditions that would make a debate less likely, unless, of course, Friedman realizes that the failing Biden would be particularly disastrous in a debate?
Trump Administration Protects Girls in Title IX
- By Eagle Forum
In 2016 the Obama administration issued guidance protecting transgender students through Title IX. Specifically, this rule allowed transgender students to use restrooms and lockers rooms that did not match their biological sex, but rather the gender they chose. Not only did this force schools to affirm a child’s gender dysphoria, but it also posed as a privacy violation to both boys and girls.

NYC and Chicago Mayors Must Go
- By Christian Newswire
NEW YORK -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on how much the mayors of New York City and Chicago have in common:
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot share a similar record on their handling of violence, public health and religious liberty. Both are a disgrace.
SCOTUS Delivers Wins for Religious Liberty
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Wednesday, the Supreme Court delivered two noteworthy victories for religious liberty. In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the court upheld a Trump administration policy protecting conscience and religious freedom in the context of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"). In Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, the court robustly defined the First Amendment rights of religious schools and institutions to determine who will teach and defend the tenets of their faith.
The New 'Systemic Racism' That Is Coming
- By Pat Buchanan
Before our Black Lives Matter moment, one had not thought of the NBC networks as shot through with "systemic racism."
Yet, what other explanation is there for this week's draconian personnel decision of NBCUniversal chairman Cesar Conde.
According to Conde, the white share of NBC's workforce, now 74% and divided evenly between men and women, will be chopped to 50%.

SCOTUS Rules to Protect the First Amendment
- By Eagle Forum
It’s easy to get infuriated and disappointed by the state of affairs in Washington. But this week we are happy to bring you a bit of good news out of the Supreme Court.
In a victorious 7-2 decision in Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania, the Court ruled that the Little Sisters are exempt from the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) contraceptive mandate. The Little Sisters are an order of Roman Catholic religious sisters who serve the elderly poor. In the past decade, the Sisters have been dragged through multiple courtrooms fighting for protection against being forced to fund healthcare plans required under the Obama-era contraceptive mandate, which requires healthcare plans to provide women’s “preventative care,” including birth control and abortion-inducing drugs.

Is America Good?
- By Neil Patel
Is America good? That's the real question we have been debating these past few weeks. The answer, of course, is obvious to all but a few true radicals. Yes, America is good. That doesn't mean America is perfect, and it doesn't mean we should not strive to make America better, but the criticisms we make should have some grounding in facts, in history and in comparison with the rest of the world.
Politicians’ Promises Don’t Reflect Written Incentives Deals
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
S.C. politicians routinely love to make promises about massive corporate investment and multitudes of new jobs in the Palmetto State.
But the secretly crafted written agreements offering taxpayer-backed incentives in exchange for those promised jobs and investment often don’t live up to the official hype.
Last month, The Nerve detailed how for years state commerce and revenue officials failed to adequately track new jobs that benefiting companies were required to create.
Planned Parenthood Tries to Keep a Loan Profile
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
It's been called the program for sinners and saints, or, Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) joked, "Baptists and bars." With loans fanning out to everyone from jellybean companies to dating apps, Congress's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has been an equal opportunity lifeline for businesses crushed under the weight of the virus. But not everything has gone exactly according to plan, and the $150 million Planned Parenthood absconded with is exhibit A.
Stand with Steven Baca

If you support the Second Amendment, oppose mob anarchy and reject the monumental madness gripping America, then you stand with Steven Baca.
If you have been outraged by the persecution and prosecution of brave patriots across the country defending their homes, their families, our downtowns, our national heritage and history -- like the armed St. Louis couple, or the armed pregnant Michigan mom, or the armed citizens in the Fishtown suburb of Philadelphia, Boise, Idaho, and Provo, Utah, facing down the saboteurs of civil order, then you stand with Steven Baca.
Gospel for Asia Supplies 37 Million with Safe Water in 'Thirstiest' Continent

Faith-based agency has drilled more than 30,000 'Jesus Wells,' distributed 58,000-plus water filters
WILLS POINT, Texas -- A leading mission agency today revealed it has provided safe drinking water for a staggering 37.5 million people in Asia, the world's "thirstiest" continent.
The number of people helped by Texas-based Gospel for Asia (GFA World, www.gfa.org) is roughly equivalent to the entire population of California.
GFA World reported millions of water-deprived families across Asia -- home to six out of every 10 people on the planet -- now have safe, reliable drinking water thanks to the organization's deep wells and BioSand filters.
A Culture War Battle Trump Can Win
- By Pat Buchanan
Speaking at Mount Rushmore on Friday, and from the White House lawn on Saturday, July 4, Donald Trump recast the presidential race.
He seized upon an issue that can turn his fortunes around, and the wounded howls of the media testify to the power of his message.
Standing beneath the mammoth carved images of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, Trump declared: "Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities."
The Line in the Sand for Americans and Christians
- By W.H. Lamb
We all know the facts and/or the legend of “The Siege of the Alamo” in San Antonio, Texas in late February and early March of 1836. A pitifully small number of Texans (or “Texians”) and American volunteers (about 180 men) determined to defend a small mission church called the “Alamo” that they had previously captured from its small Mexican garrison, fortified it, and eventually resisted a vastly superior enemy force—the Mexican Army under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1876) for “13 days of glory”. The Commander of the Alamo’s defenders, young Lt. Colonel William Travis, age 26, realizing that his situation by early March, 1836 was virtually hopeless, vowed to defend the Alamo to the end. Gathering the remaining defenders on March 5, 1836, Travis, according to the “Legend of the Alamo”, gave a short talk to his ragged and battle-weary men.
A Few Things to Think About
- By Ray Simmons
BACK WHEN I was working for the government (1961 forward) I began seeing politics introduced into the working agenda. Early on, jobs assigned were well managed and the work-quality was a major concern. Everyone’s product was selectively reviewed for correctness and quantity was measured. Within a year or two I noticed things beginning to change; Civil Rights entered the picture. The difficulty of the tests used for the selection of potential employees was reduced because minority candidates were unable to pass the existing test in sufficient numbers to meet hiring quotas, which the public was told didn’t exist.
