Most Churchgoers Are Optimistic, Take Pride in Their Church: Poll
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Although U.S. church attendance has fallen to historic lows, the faithful still congregating have found a new source of optimism and pride in America’s sanctuaries, a new poll finds.
Though fewer Americans darken a church door or believe in God, nearly all those who do say they believe their faith has a bright future and have few qualms identifying with their church in the public square. The left-leaning Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) interviewed 5,872 people last April through August, asking them about their religious views and participation. The results, published May 16 in a study titled “Religion and Congregations in a Time of Social and Political Upheaval,” reported a mix of results that nearly all came out positive for those who stay in church.
“Imagine A Boot Stamping On A Human Face, Forever”
- By W.H. Lamb
“This is the direction the world is going in at the present time. In our world there will be no emotions, except fear, rage, triumph, and self abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated…. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always at every moment there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN! It depends on YOU.”
Eric Blair (1903-1950). Better known by his “pen name” of GEORGE ORWELL.

Confederate Names Removed from the Ranger Memorial
- By Press Release
Fort Benning’s Col. Colin Mahle proceeded with recommendations from the Congressionally-mandated Naming Commission to cover or remove certain names on the Ranger Memorial associated with the Confederacy, even though they served the United States honorably, retired Brig. Gen. Joseph Stringham, Chairman of the National Ranger Memorial Foundation, wrote in a letter on April 28. Not only did the [naming] commission dishonor the Rangers commemorated, but hiding the names denies free expression of those who contributed to the memorial . . .
Confederate names removed from the Ranger Memorial
Elizabeth Warren's renaming legislation has shredded the fabric of our country. Destroying the 109 year old Confederate Memorial in Arlington is next. Over 44% of our military has traditionally been recruited in the South. But to serve today, Southerners have to accept Warren's LIE that they have traitor blood flowing through their veins.

Help Save Us from the World Health Organization!
If you disliked the way you and our country were treated in response to the COVID pandemic, you are going to hate what those who perpetrated the mask, lockdown and vaccine mandates intend to do to us next. The World Health Organization (WHO), led by its Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Chinese Communist Party that controls them, and the Biden administration are negotiating agreements that would allow Tedros to dictate public health policy in the United States and globally.
Target: Stop “Targeting” Our Kids
- By Eagle Forum
State and National Groups Unite in Call for Target to Remove/Move Divisive “Trans Pride” Products
Group Sending Letter and Petition to Chip and Joanna Gaines Seeking Support to Protect Childhood Innocence
Eagle Forum, joined by a diverse group of national, state, and local activists, is calling on all Americans to make their voices heard by participating in the Stop “Targeting” Our Kids Align Act. This petition drive, directed to Target corporate leadership, peacefully requests that Target move or remove divisive “Trans Pride” items currently sold by the company. The items at issue are those marketed for babies, toddlers, and teens and the “women’s” bathing suits that are made with “tuck-friendly construction” and “extra crotch coverage” to accommodate male genitalia. The petition also asks Target to reconsider donating to GLSEN, a radical organization that advocates that schools withhold information from parents regarding their children’s gender dysphoria and any so-called ‘accommodations’ being provided by the school.
The Case for Ron DeSantis
- By Josh Hammer
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' much-anticipated 2024 presidential campaign is finally here. DeSantis is, by any empirical metric or otherwise reasonable estimation, the only person with a viable chance of defeating former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. What follows is a straightforward affirmative case for DeSantis' candidacy, written from the perspective of someone who moved to the Sunshine State during the COVID-19 pandemic due in no small part to his courage, independent judgment and dynamic leadership during that most woeful chapter of recent American history.
The EPA is Gaslighting Americans
- By Eagle Forum
The EPA’s Gas Elimination Agenda
Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is on a warpath to eliminate the gas industry. They have slowly begun heavily restricting items that we use on a daily basis. Two of those that are currently in the left’s crosshairs are our gas stoves and cars. With Republicans working hard to right those wrongs in Congress, they may have found a strange bedfellow who has made millions cooking on gas stoves.
Why Liberals Hate Christian Russia
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
A recent interview by Mike Krupa of Ambassador Chas Freeman and Colonel Douglas MacGregor showed these two masters in their respective fields — diplomacy and military science — touching on and striving to answer a deep question that only true philosophy can answer in full: In the Ukraine War, why are America's current political leaders fundamentally averse and opposed to negotiating with Russia to end the murderous conflict?
The answer to this question is not simple stupidity or simple ignorance of history or even simple failure by American leadership to recognize and foresee the inherent danger of escalatory warfare — by proxy or directly -- between nuclear powers.

- By NOW TAX USA
LERONA, W.Va. -- NOW TAX warns that the only way to actually start paying the National Debt is with a new tax system. NOW TAX proposed Amendment will replace all Federal taxes, to have only one national tax system.

A Symptom of Urban Crime's Toll on College Students
- By Armstrong Williams
In recent years, there has been a surge in violent crime in our nation's capital, and unfortunately, our college students have not been spared. This issue has become symptomatic of a larger problem that plagues urban cities across the nation, where college students are being robbed and carjacked, all at gunpoint. As these young adults work to educate themselves and become productive citizens, they are faced with a harrowing reality: Crime can find them even in the hallowed halls of academia. Washington, D.C., the city that represents our nation's values and aspirations, has become a chilling example of the challenges these students face.
Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 1
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One area of Geophysics that gets little attention for its degree of importance is the recession of the moon. Yes, the moon is slowly moving farther away and slowing the Earth’s rotation in the process. This was first confirmed following the Apollo moon landings by bouncing a laser off reflectors left behind by astronauts. The reflectors were designed to accurately measure the Earth-Moon distance. The measurements showed that the moon is getting further away at a rate of 1.5 inches or 3.82 cm per year. Furthermore, a day is getting longer by 1.7 milliseconds per day per century. Both effects are a result of tidal forces between them. These same forces are responsible for the high and low tides experienced twice a day.
GFA World Helps Families 'Sew Their Way Out of Poverty'
- By GFA World
WILLS POINT, Texas -- A new three-month campaign aims to help some of the poorest families in Africa and Asia "sew their way out of poverty" -- one stitch at a time.
Texas-based mission GFA World's "Sewing Their Way Out of Poverty" campaign aims to provide 500 new sewing machines and vocational training for 500 desperately poor families struggling to survive day-to-day.
"Countless people trapped in grinding poverty literally live from hand to mouth," said GFA World founder K.P. Yohannan, also known as Metropolitan Yohan. "It breaks my heart each time I see an ocean of slum dwellings in major cities, or when I watch children digging in garbage heaps for food scraps."
Surprise: Debt Conversation Brings More Pointless 'Tax-the-Rich' Talk
- By Veronique de Rugy
Whenever we have a national conversation about government debt, Democrats invariably respond that spending is not the reason the debt is now nearly equal to our national GDP. The real cause of our indebtedness, they inform us, is that taxes aren't high enough and the rich don't pay their fair share. From increasing the marginal tax rate to more than 70% for higher-income earners, to taxing 100% of income above $1 billion, to the president's recent debt-ceiling plan, Democrats overflow with ideas about how to tax us more.
Church Giving Down Again in 2020: Potential Remains Great: empty tomb's New The State of Church Giving through 2020, A Theology for an Age of Affluence
- By Christian Newswire
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Church member giving as a percent of income was down again in 2020, according empty tomb's new edition, The State of Church Giving through 2020. What's needed to reverse the trend is summed up in the subtitle: A Theology for an Age of Affluence.
The data presented in the 32nd edition of the series shows that the downward trend in giving extends back to 1968.
Yet, according to the study's authors, the potential for church members to increase giving is great. And they write that a broad vision can serve as a positive agenda for the affluence that has been spreading in the U.S. since about 1820.

24 Notes that Always Cause Us to Weep – The Story of “TAPS,” the Famous Bugle Call
What American in our time has not watched on TV or personally witnessed a military funeral for an honored countryman or woman who served his or her nation in some far off conflict, and who long ago or just recently “went home” to rest with his or her comrades? I find it hard to witness that solemn event, especially as “Taps” is played over the grave, without tears coming into my eyes. While I never had a relative or friend who was given this final honor in death, I know that many of you have had such. It is for you, and in memory of your loved one/s, and in honor of ALL of our military, both living and dead, from the first fallen warriors on the immortal Green of Lexington, Massachusetts who sacrificed their lives on April 19, 1775, to those who gave their lives just recently in the contentious, the senseless, and seemingly unending wars in Afghanistan and in the Middle East, that I write this tribute.

Great Way to Celebrate South Carolina's 235th Birthday by Supporting the Unborn
Even Though It Is Not Perfect, It Is A Start And Will Save Lives
The long and fought for S.474 called the "Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act" has passed the South Carolina Senate by a vote of 27-19.
McMaster announced on Twitter after the vote that he is looking forward to "signing this bill into law as soon as possible."
This bill will ban most abortions after detecting early cardiac activity in the unborn child. This can be as early as six weeks. If any physician in South Carolina violates this law, they would have their license revoked in the state. They could even face felony charges, fines, and jail time.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Tells Adults How to Discuss Sex with Teens Behind Parents' Backs
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
As part of its month-long focus on adolescent health, the Biden administration is promoting a document that tells Planned Parenthood and other taxpayer-funded family planning offices how to talk to minors about sex without their parents overhearing, and how to secretly deliver birth control to adolescents without parental knowledge or consent.
Federally-funded guidelines instruct adults to pause before discussing sex with minors and to ask, “Are you alone in the room?” These instructions specify tactics to follow “if you’re really having a hard time getting a parent” to leave the room during the sex talk. They suggest children as young as 13 discuss sex with groups like Planned Parenthood in a parked car or communicate in writing, so their parents cannot hear the adults’ side of the conversation. And they encourage offices to have vans roam neighborhoods giving minors federally funded contraceptives; to mail birth control to adolescents in “plain, unmarked packaging;” and/or to have teenagers receive contraceptives at public meet-up places.
NGU Baseball To Host Southeast Super Regional This Weekend in Tigerville
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) has hosted two NCAA Division II baseball Super Regionals since 2019, and the No. 1 ranked defending national champions will do it again this weekend in Tigerville.
NGU punched its ticket to the Southeast Super Regional with back-to-back wins (11-5, 9-2) over Mount Olive last weekend at Ray and Bea Dillard Field at Ashmore Park.
“This team has already accomplished so much,” said Head Coach Landon Powell. “They were ranked No. 1 in the country during the preseason, and they stayed No. 1 all year long. We have a body of work that’s impressive, and hopefully they can keep that confidence and remember who they’ve been all year long during the Super Regional.”
Welfare Work Requirements Make Everyone Better Off
- By Star Parker
The Congressional Budget Office has just released its latest projection for the next ten years.
"In the agency's updated projections, annual deficits nearly double over the next decade, reaching $2.7 trillion in 2033 ... As a result of those deficits, debt held by the public also increases in CBO's projections, from 98% of GDP at the end of this year to 119% at the end of 2033."
The picture keeps getting worse.
The difference between Democrats and Republicans on the issue: Republicans say let's do something; Democrats say let's do nothing.

- By Women of Grace
MANILLA, Philippines -- A Filipino priest who defended the Church's findings regarding the non-supernatural status of the alleged apparitions of Our Lady in Lipa City has been arrested and charged with offending the religious feelings of a former government official.
Harriet Demetriou, a devotee of the Lipa apparitions and former chief of the Commission on Elections, filed a complaint against Father Winston Cabading, OP, an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Manila and instructor at the University of Santo Tomas, for statements he made during a Facebook program.

Appeals Court Returns Counterfeit Ballot Case to Lower Court; VoterGA Seeks Recusal to Prevent Obstruction of Ballot Inspection
- By VoterGA
ATLANTA -- On December 20, 2022, VoterGA Petitioners in a counterfeit ballot case won a confirmation of standing from the Georgia Supreme Court which forced the Court of Appeals to remand their case back to Superior Court where Petitioners could open discovery and proceed with the inspection of 2020 Fulton County mail-in ballots. Today, Petitioners, who expected Judge Brian Amero to resume the case, announced a motion to recuse newly assigned Judge Robert McBurney for bias.
The inspection was delayed for over two years after Judge Brian Amero's false ruling that Petitioners had no standing. Once Amero's ruling was overturned, he transferred the case to McBurney who accepted it in a surprise move that Petitioners claim will obstruct an inspection.

McKissick Approved to Serve Fourth Term as SC GOP Chairman
- By Terry M. Thacker, Times Examiner Reporter
Three-term South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick was narrowly reelected on the first ballot this past Saturday to serve a fourth term at the helm of a party experiencing great division.
The party's bi-annual convention was held in the gymnasium of River Bluff High School in Lexington. Over 1,000 delegates and alternates from across the state filled the huge gym. Delegates and alternates had already been chosen at the various county GOP conventions, which were held in the several weeks prior to Saturday's convention.
The attendees were given an hour and a half during which to check in. A few minutes before the commencement of the meeting, some alternates gathered at their county check-in tables to find out if they would be promoted to delegate status. If a person selected to serve as a delegate does not show up at the beginning of the convention, an alternate gets to take his or her place.
Biden's Abortion Obsession Could Crater Space Command's HQ
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
“Does not compute.” That catchphrase from the 1960s show “Lost in Space” certainly captures the Biden administration’s decision-making of late. After a years-long process to find the perfect spot for America’s Space Command, the most radical president in history seems to be hanging his final choice on a completely unrelated policy: abortion. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that the two issues have nothing to do with each other — unless you’re a part of the new Left-driven Democratic Party, where social extremism eclipses everything.
