Thanksgiving 2021: Some Thoughts
- By W.H. Lamb
Note: A version of this article was published in The Times Examiner back in November of 2018. The great thing about true history is that it doesn’t change (if it is true). It may be purposely changed or “revised” or even obliterated by the collectivist churls who now dominate our main stream media and most of the major publishing companies. But we owe it to the people of history—to the heroes and villains of the past—to the noble and ignoble deeds they performed--------- we owe it to all of them to tell the TRUTH about what they did—for good or ill-- in their time under the sun. Their deeds made US what we are today. And that surely includes a greatly (and purposely) misunderstood group of religious separatists we today call Pilgrims, people who are mercilessly attacked in our day by the mentally deficient clods of the MSM and the “woke” social media, as hopeless racists and the cause of all of our problems in modern America!
Things I Learned from the Trial
- By Mike Scruggs
Refuting a Depraved and Dishonest MSM Agenda
A neighbor passed on this summary of some of the little-known facts about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Yet most of the mainstream media is still distributing the most dishonest and hateful distortions about Kyle Rittenhouse and the trial. CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times are the loudest and most extreme in their dishonesty and hate. Google seems to be on a full-court press to bury the truth under a high priority blizzard of lies.
Ben Carson: No COVID Shots for Children, Mandates Open “Pandora’s Box”
- By The New American
The long-term risks of COVID injections for children are unknown while the risks of COVID to children are miniscule to non-existent, warned former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and world-renown medical doctor Ben Carson in this exclusive interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. Looking at the data would save America a lot of pain and suffering, he warned. While he touted Operation Warp Speed as a program that saved lives, the soft-spoken American icon warned that the long-term impact of the shots was unknown and the data in the government’s VAERS vaccine adverse-event reporting system revealed “a lot more complications” than vaccines normally have. As for government mandates, these open “Pandora’s Box,” putting Americans’ most fundamental liberties at risk.
To Whom It May Ignore: U.S. Abandons Terror-filled Nigeria
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When Pastor Silas Yakubu Ali didn't show up to preach on Sunday morning, there was one overriding feeling: dread. It wasn't like the 55-year-old leader of the Evangelical Church Winning All to be late. As the hour grew later, people in the congregation left to search -- each one praying that his disappearance wasn't what they all feared. In Nigeria, they knew, being a Christian or going to church could be a death sentence -- one that had been carried out thousands of times this year already.

Millions Owed to SC Taxpayers Over Local Road Fees, Lawsuits Contend
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Nearly half of South Carolina’s 46 counties were charging annual road maintenance fees as of last December, records show, though the state’s top court earlier this year in a Greenville County case ruled that its fee was unlawful.
Whether taxpayers will receive any refunds remains to be seen. Class action lawsuits seeking multimillion-dollar refunds have been filed in at least seven counties – Aiken, Beaufort, Georgetown, Greenville, Horry, Richland and Sumter – since the June court ruling, which did not order refunds in the Greenville County case.
Most of the suits cite a state law that would allow the plaintiffs, if successful, to be awarded 10 times the amount of the collected road fees, The Nerve’s review found.
GiveSendGo.com, The Only Platform to Stand with Innocent Man, Kyle Rittenhouse
- By Christian Newswire
BOSTON -- Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent by a jury on Friday after being on trial for fatally shooting two men and wounding another during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse was only 17 at the time of the incident. He is now 18 at the time of his acquittal.
Rittenhouse attempted to raise funds for his legal defense on GoFundMe last year, but was unsuccessful due to his campaign being shut down by the crowdfunding site. GoFundMe confirmed in August of 2020 they had shut down all campaigns supporting, or raising money, for Rittenhouse.
Pre-dawn FBI Raids Target Election Integrity Whistleblowers
- By Truth & Liberty Coalition
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. -- Recent FBI raids on the homes of Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk Tina Peters, conservative activist Sherronna Bishop, and others are raising alarms about election integrity and the activities of federal law enforcement.
Bishop heard a loud banging sound at her door early Tuesday, not thinking federal agents were trying to enter her home, she said on an interview with WWW Broadcast Network.
She also claimed during the interview an agent "manhandled" her daughter, leading the teen through their Grand Junction, Colorado, home by her hooded sweatshirt.
Sidney Powell: Counties Can Fix Elections, But Republic Almost Lost
- By The New American
Former federal prosecutor and internationally renowned attorney Sidney Powell, who was at the center of litigation surrounding the 2020 election, warns about the “fraudulent president” Joe Biden administration using Hitler and Stalin tactics in its efforts to impose tyranny on America in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. In this wide-ranging discussion, Powell discusses everything from the COVID “vaccine” mandates and the “election hoax” to the weaponization of the federal government and the rigging of the judicial system and the media “propaganda” machine. She also discusses her best-selling book Licensed to Lie. More importantly, the co-founder of Defending the Republic gives hope and ideas for patriots who seek to restore America and take it back from the tyrannical forces seeking its destruction.
Human Rights Group Calls President Biden's Consideration of a 'Diplomatic Boycott' of Beijing Olympics Disrespectful to America's Olympic Athletes and Human Rights
- By Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 19, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Purple Sash Revolution, which recently organized two days of peaceful protests at the U.S. Olympic Headquarters in Colorado Springs, says the diplomatic boycott is nothing but a "cheap political ploy." The group has called for a full American boycott of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Purple Sash Revolution asks, if the human rights abuses by the Chinese government are so egregious that our government officials are prohibited from attending the Beijing Games, how can we possibly send our Olympic athletes to participate?
There Will Be No Media 'Reckoning' Over the Steele Dossier
- By David Harsanyi
Axios says there's a "reckoning" in the media over coverage of the Steele dossier after the partisan oppo document's primary source was charged with lying to the FBI. "It's one of the most egregious journalistic errors in modern history," writes Sara Fischer, "and the media's response to its own mistakes has so far been tepid."
Tepid is a nice way of putting it. While the Washington Post "corrected" some of its discredited reporting on the dossier, removing portions of reporting connecting former President Donald Trump to Russia, there has been virtually no other accountability. And, really, it's become modus operandi for the news organizations to "correct" stories in which the entire premise is false. Any sort of "reckoning" would mean a retraction, followed by investigative deep dives, not only reporting the problems with the story themselves but outing the fraudulent sources who participated in the deception. Perhaps that's going on as we speak, but it's highly doubtful.
House Democrats Finalize Another Massive Spending Package
- By Eagle Forum
Instead of giving the American people gifts for Christmas this year, House Democrats are giving us a bill for all of their reckless spending. The House is poised to vote on Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Agenda in the next week.
As the pork-filled bipartisan infrastructure bill passed through the Senate in August, Democrats saw this as a slam dunk. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expected the passage of this bill to be business-as-usual. The House has easily passed their agenda since gaining the majority. She believed that an infrastructure bill would prove that Democrats are working for the American people and usher in Democrat victories in state elections. Pelosi couldn’t have been more wrong.
Foundation: 'Don't Discriminate Against Christian Flag'
- By Christian Newswire
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Pastor Harold Shurtleff and Camp Constitution wanted to hold an event in the Boston Commons. But when they asked to raise their Christian flag on the City flagpole, Boston said no.
On the surface that might not seem surprising -- until we learn that 284 organizations have asked to raise their flags on the City flagpole during the past 15 years, and the City of Boston has approved every one of them -- except the Christian flag, which features a cross. Boston has approved the flying of the LGBT rainbow flag, the transgender rights flag, the Malcolm X flag, and the flag of the Chinese Progressive Association, but said "no" to the Christian flag. Sensing discrimination, Pastor Shurtleff sued the City, and the case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Tim Tebow Foundation Expands Survivor Care Nationwide Through Her Song Residential Program
- By Tim Tebow Foundation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Her Song, a ministry of the Tim Tebow Foundation interrupting the cycle of human trafficking in the United States, announced the expansion of its survivor care model into two new regions based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Columbus, Ohio. The successful Her Song program started in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2013 and has served more than 2,000 survivors through victim outreach and survivor care. This program will be replicated in these new cities to be able to impact more women who have been trafficked.

Twelve American Heroes
- By Mike Scruggs
Do You Hear the People Singing?
Today, we have 12 new American heroes. They are men and women of the common people, but they are extraordinary and courageous heroes who came to us at a time of a great national crisis threatening every principle of truth and American justice, and freedom. They were the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They held to the American standards of truth, justice, and freedom against intimidation by mobs, a hurricane of politically motivated lies in the mainstream media, prosecutorial misconduct, and a corrupt and an increasingly totalitarian Federal government regime. They voted "Not Guilty" on all 5 [false] accusations and affirmed the American right of self-defense and that traditional American standards of truth, evidence, due process, and justice still prevail.
Kyle Rittenhouse, Both Right and Righteous
- By Pat Buchanan
In judging the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, set aside for the moment Wisconsin law under which he is being tried, and consider the natural law, the moral law, the higher law written on the human heart.
In terms of values demonstrated and the deeds done that night that Rittenhouse shot the three men who attacked him, who was on the righteous side?
Consider what Rittenhouse did that night of Aug. 25, 2020, and why.
Watching on television the nightly riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a town 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, that he knew well, Rittenhouse decided to go to Kenosha to protect property that embattled police had been unable to defend during the riots. For protection, he picked up the AR-15 that he kept in Kenosha.
Lawmakers Want More Control Over Agency Head Pay Hikes
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Lawmakers just can’t resist trying to exert more power over another branch of government.
Reps. John King, D-York; Annie McDaniel, D-Fairfield; and Wendy Brawley, D-Richland, prefiled a bill last week that would require separate majorities in the 124-member House and 46-member Senate to give final approval to any pay raises for state agency heads recommended by a legislatively controlled committee.
The Agency Head Salary Commission (AHSC), which includes eight lawmakers, approves state salaries for the heads of at least 90 agencies, including public colleges, according to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA), an agency that provides administrative support to the AHSC.
The Plane Truth about Vax Tyranny
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
What air travel needs right now is more restrictions, said 37 Democratic lawmakers in a letter to President Biden, saying, "as the nation approaches holiday season, we ask that you put in place requirements for airline passengers to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID or a negative test to board a domestic flight." Their call for further travel restrictions doesn't just unhappily coincide with the holiday travel season; they explicitly cite that as a reason to enact the restrictions.
These would-be scrooges should have asked the airlines. Just as retailers and other businesses who survive on December sales begged the Biden administration to postpone the employer vaccine mandate until January, so airlines "have come out months ago and said that they were opposed to" the travel mandate," said Congressman Garret Graves (R-La.). Businesses live in the real world, where they must respond to market forces if they want to survive. Therefore, they recognize (far more than D.C. politicians) that most Americans who haven't gotten vaccinated don't appear to be changing their minds, regardless of the carrots and sticks the federal government wields.
Will Joe Biden Learn Jimmy Carter's Inflation Lesson?
- By Stephen Moore
In the 1980 presidential campaign, the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, said, "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." The Gipper turned out to be correct. The gale-force winds of rising inflation had knocked working-class people to the ground, with paychecks shrinking month after month. Reagan wound up winning a landslide victory, and Carter was bounced out of office.
The middle class hates inflation. The New York Times recently surmised that the effects of inflation are mostly "psychological," and that people should appreciate that "the U.S. economy is doing well." Wrong. People feel the impact of rising prices daily. It doesn't just make them FEEL poorer. They are poorer.

What Killed the United States
- By Winston McCuen
In 1861, when Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to invade the South, the United States stopped being a constitutional federal democratic republic. By war's end, the U.S. had become the extralegal centralized consolidated "one and indivisible" egalitarian empire Lincoln had envisioned. Now, after decades of relentless egalitarian social engineering, the United States is hopelessly divided, institutionally weak, and ready to fall. Spoiled, effeminate and pitifully ignorant, Americans today are slated by Providence for great tumult and suffering.
74 Georgia Counties Can't Produce Original 2020 Election Ballot Images, 56 Counties' Images Destroyed Despite Federal, State Laws
- By VoterGA
Ballot Analysis Team's Findings and the Counties' Standings Outlined
ATLANTA -- VoterGA recently announced that 74 Georgia counties have been unable to produce all the original ballot images from the November 2020 election, according to the ballot image analysis team. The team obtained admissions from 56 counties that most or all of the images created automatically by the Dominion voting system for results tabulation have been destroyed. VoterGA volunteers made the determinations by submitting Open Records Requests (ORR) for the images to each county.
Ballot images are a critical aspect of election records that have long been required to be retained by federal and state law. Federal law requires a 22-month retention period for election records while state law requires a 24-month retention period for election documents which are generally considered to include those that are electronic.

Not a Joke, Olympic Committee Eliminates Medical Tests for Transgender Athletes
- By Christian Newswire
MADISON, Wis. -- The International Olympic Committee just announced a new framework for transgender and intersex athletes. They will no longer require athletes to undergo "medically unnecessary" procedures or treatment.
In 2003, transgender athletes had to have sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy to compete. In 2015, athletes were only required to have hormone therapy to lower testosterone levels.
Now, athletes do not have to have medical tests to compete. Supposedly, each international sports federation will decide who can compete based on perception instead of scientific fact.
In a six-page document, the IOC outlined ten principles that allows transgenders to compete. Athletes will no longer be required to undergo hormone level modifications. The principles are subjective and vague.
Build Back Better -- Wasting Trillions
- By Star Parker
As Democrats regroup to try to pass their $2 trillion Build Back Better Act, pressure grows for shining the light of fiscal responsibility on all this.
Given President Joe Biden's crashing approval ratings, there is some hint that the American people smell a rat.
One sign of the smell of that rat is the alarming escalation of the rate of inflation to where it hasn't been in over 30 years.
Let's start with the announcement from the Treasury Department a week ago that the revenue measures built in to finance the $2 trillion in spending will not only not add to the nation's existing fiscal deficit but will reduce it.
Church Militants, not Church Milquetoasts
- By Michael LaPierre
These are abridged remarks I gave Tuesday morning in Baltimore at the "Enough is Enough" protest across from the annual gathering of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Church Militant senior producer and St. Michael's Media founder Michael Voris was forced to go to court to hold the prayer rally and gathering of Catholic dissidents after their permit was canceled by Baltimore's speech-squelching city solicitor James Shea. Baltimore authorities baselessly accused Voris and scheduled speakers of promoting violence; the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower district judge's ruling that "the First Amendment to the Constitution is at the heart of this case ... The city cannot conjure up hypothetical hecklers and then grant them veto power."
I would first like to address the evil corruptocrats here in the city of Baltimore, right across from us at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, down at the White House, perched in the Vatican, and deeply embedded in the Deep State and Creep State. Look at my face and the faces of every single Catholic bearing witness here today. Hear our voices. Heed our words. We will not be silenced.
Biden's Education Problems Become A Parent
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When Americans gather around the table next week, one thing they won't be thankful for -- polls already show -- is this administration. Not even the supposedly popular infrastructure bill can undo the gloom and doom for Joe Biden, who is failing where people feel it most. More than six in 10 Americans think the president hasn't accomplished much -- except maybe ruining the economy, which a whopping 70 percent say is in bad shape. Even his handling of the pandemic, a historically strong issue for Biden, is a net negative now. But that's not why the Left is panicking. His numbers on education are.
