The WHO Power Grab Has Been Slowed, Not Stopped
- By Kristen A. Ullman, President, Eagle Forum
Who Won at the WHO?
The 77th World Health Assembly wrapped up its self-proclaimed “historic” meeting in Geneva on June 1, 2024. Despite their lofty goals of passing two complimentary pandemic “agreements”, the WHO failed to pass the Pandemic Treaty, instead kicking the can down the road, and was only able to strong-arm consensus for a modified version of the International Health Regulation amendments. Those of us who have spent years sounding the alarm against the WHO’s global governance scheme may want to take a short victory lap for at least delaying the Treaty and getting several of the worst elements of the IHR removed. But while their most nefarious plans have been slowed, they have not been stopped. We must take a hard look at who won (and how) and the next steps for sovereignty-loving people everywhere.
South Carolina Ranks 45th Most Independent of 50 States
- By Adam McCann, WalletHub Financial Writer
Most & Least Independent States (2024)
Americans value independence. We fought hard for it during the Revolutionary War, and in the present day, we celebrate not only our freedom from the British crown but also our strong ability to rely upon ourselves as individuals. Now, with inflation affecting people across the country, many Americans are struggling to maintain financial independence. Some have become at least temporarily more dependent on support from the federal government. Other people have become more dependent on personal vices, such as drinking and drugs, due to stress and depression.
In order to find out where Americans are the most self-reliant, WalletHub compared the 50 states based on five sources of dependency: consumer finances, the government, the job market, international trade and personal vices. We broke down these categories into 39 key indicators of independence, from the share of households receiving public assistance to the unemployment rate to the share of adults with gambling disorders.
Iran Enhances Underground Nuclear ‘Bunker’, Heightening Fears of Accelerated Weapons Development
- By Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
Confidential documents and analysis by weapons experts indicate that a significant expansion at Iran’s most fortified nuclear facility could soon triple its production of enriched uranium, the Washington Post reported.
Just days after Tehran formally notified the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of plans for a major upgrade, IAEA inspectors verified new construction activity at the Fordow enrichment plant, an underground facility constructed like a bunker inside a mountain in north-central Iran. This upgrade at Fordow raises particular concerns for the US and Israel due to its nearly impregnable subterranean location, making it almost invulnerable to airstrikes.
Democrat Party Holds America Captive
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
America is spiraling downward. Crime, inflation, record high prices, war, open borders, corruption. Dem policies and Dem election fraud in 2020 brought us here; and more Dem fraud in 2022 prevented a corrective and massive red wave. So, Americans are now captives and slaves ensnared in a devolved and unconstitutional political structure, dominated by a single party, that now generates systemic and decisive election fraud. Consequently, we are now ruled by unelected, illegitimate and unaccountable rulers.
'Better Greenville' Dark Money Supports Both Republicans and Liberal Democrats
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Greenville County Republican Candidates Jay Rogers and Alex Reynolds have ties to Democrat and ultra-liberal Ennis Fant
Ever heard the old English proverb, “Birds of a feather flock together”? This proverb means that beings of similar type, interest, personality, character, or other distinctive attributes tend to mutually associate.
There is a mystery behind a campaign organization that calls themselves “Better Greenville.” No one knows who is behind this group. They have a website, www.bettergreenville.org, but that is pretty much all that is known of them.
This dark money group, who some have said is a group of developers looking to make a fortune in Greenville, has been sending a large number of campaign mailers on behalf of candidates on the Greenville County Council who oppose a more conservative agenda.
During the weeks before the June 11th primary, this secret group endorsed Republican candidates: Butch Kirven, Chris Harrison, Mike Barns, Jay Rodgers, and Alex Reynolds. Three of those were incumbents that lost in the June 11th election: long-time member Butch Kirven, Chris Harrison, and Mike Barns – all who voted for last year's tax increase.
The Propaganda of Calling Human Being Apes
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Another major example of the use of propaganda by evolutionists is in the area of so-called human evolution. The claim used to be that we evolved from apes. It has long been claimed that we had a common ancestor with chimpanzees, that was a type of thing. Recent changes in these claims don't reflect actual research in biology and genetics but clear propaganda.
Evert’s Electables - June 25th, 2024 Republican Primary Runoff
- By Evert Headley
PLEASE NOTE—IMPORTANT DETAIL: do not take this flier to the polls. By law, you may take only a list of names and offices to the polling site.
- For candidates already in an office, I have been able to check voting records. My comments reflect their voting records over the course of their tenure.
- For those who have never run for office before, and who claim a position, I will state their claim, but understand I have nothing by which to verify that claim.
- Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A photo ID is required to vote in South Carolina.
This year there is one important dynamic going on—the SC House GOP Leadership has decided to coordinate with the Chamber of Commerce and a few consultants to have a coordinated campaign against the Freedom Caucus members across the state. They are using language and tactics that conservatives have had thrown at them for years, its just that had always been from the Democrats and the liberals. Example: Extremist, racist, bigot, etc. Now the GOP leadership is using the same tactics and some of the verbiage of the liberals and twisting the meaning of votes in the House to an extreme, where the truth will not be found. The establishment has decided to get rid of the Freedom Caucus any way they can, by hook or crook.
County Council Candidate’s Shady Practices and Dark Money Ties
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Alex Reynolds Thanks Council Member for Raising Taxes in Greenville County on Council Member’s Social Media Account
Wasteful spending and community service for personal gain have become par for the course in South Carolina politics. This election cycle has revealed much of the same. Now, attention is being turned to a couple of Greenville County council runoff elections. One of the run-off candidates, Alex Reynolds, is running to unseat Steve Shaw, a local favorite and one of the few defenders against the recent county tax increase.
At present, Alex Reynolds is an appointed board member of the Greenville County Historic and Natural Resources Trust (GCH&NRT) and serves as the Communications Committee chairman. In this capacity, he has established a separate website for the Trust in addition to the County’s official webpage. This raises a crucial question: if Greenville County provides a website for the trust, as it does for every other county department and entity, why is there a need for a parallel private website?
‘Profoundly Wrong’: Italian PM Stops G7 from Promoting Abortion, LGBT Agenda
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A conservative leader prevented the world’s largest economies from using their clout to promote abortion, and perhaps also the LGBTQIA+ agenda, saying it is “profoundly wrong” to promote anti-family ideologies for political reasons.
At last week’s Group of Seven (G7) summit, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni successfully overcame pressure from President Joe Biden to include a promise for the nations to promote abortion-on-demand as part of “sexual and reproductive health.”
“I believe it is profoundly wrong, in difficult times like these, to campaign using a precious forum like the G7,” objected Meloni on Thursday evening.
Last year’s statement from the G7 summit — held in Hiroshima, Japan — stated: “We reaffirm our full commitment to achieving comprehensive SRHR [Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights] for all, including by addressing access to safe and legal abortion and post abortion care.” Thanks to Meloni’s objections, this year’s statement includes no reference to abortion whatever, although it does “reiterate our commitments in the Hiroshima Leaders’ Communiqué to universal access to adequate, affordable, and quality health services for women, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.”
Cuban Missile Crisis II
- By Mike Scruggs
The Dark Cloud of Project Ukraine
The Cuban Missile Crisis from October 16 to October 28, 1962, was a major confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, when American deployments of nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy were matched by an attempted Soviet deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba. The confrontation is widely considered the closest the Cold War ever came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. On October 21, President John Kennedy decided on a blockade of Cuba rather than a direct air attack on the missiles. The situation was resolved on October 28, when President Kennedy made a secret agreement with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to remove American missiles from Turkey and Italy in exchange for Russian removal of missiles and other weapons from Cuba. This secret agreement was not revealed until January 1989. The American media story for over a quarter century was that JFK had backed down the Russians. The narrow avoidance of nuclear war changed both Kennedy and Khrushchev, moving them both closer to peaceful coexistence rather than aggressive hegemonic competition.
CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM—PART 11

James Patterson’s Journal—The Story of The Congregation of Andria Church During The Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #3)
An Original Prophetic Story

Part #1 of this 21 part series was published on Aug. 7, 2023. The final 10 parts of “Civilization’s Interregnum” will be published more frequently from this point.)
BLESSINGS AND CHALLENGES BEFALL THE JESUS FOLLOWERS.
“As I said earlier, for about 20 years or so we lived mostly in peace with those in Andria village, even though we knew that as Jesus followers we were hated and despised by a sizeable number of its people, and including the hateful and violent Enforcers who poured their venom on us from time to time. We did our best to pray for these pagans, and we tried to be friendly with them in many ways, with mixed results. We tried to obey our Savior’s command to love those who deceitfully used us—we did our best to love our neighbors as we loved ourselves. We never stopped praying for the pagans and the government Enforcers and Overmasters who were abusing us, even though all we got in return was their ridicule, cursing, and persecution in varying degrees. We didn’t seem to have much success over the years in these spiritual dealings with the pagans, but we never stopped trying to share the good news of Jesus God’s birth, life, death, and resurrection with them. A few of them responded favorably over the years, but most just ridiculed us and continued in their lustful and drunken and often violent pagan ways.
SC's Conservative Movement Wins!
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Freedom Caucus Defends All Incumbent Seats
This past Tuesday, South Carolina held our Republican primary. As we have previously documented, House GOP leadership in conjunction with special interest groups have been targeting South Carolina Freedom Caucus members since early 2022. RINO leadership recruited 11 candidates to challenge conservative Freedom Caucus legislators and dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars of dark money into these races to spread blatant lies and misrepresentations. Some estimates are putting the total spent by the establishment to unseat conservatives at as much as $3 million.
Thousands of Women Hurt by Abortion Troubled that US Supreme Court Decision Leaves Dangerous Drug on the Market
- By Operation Outcry
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Thousands of women hurt by abortion expressed outrage and sadness that the US Supreme Court ruled last week that dangerous abortion pills can remain on the market. The abortion pill case, filed by emergency room doctors, challenged the FDA’s reckless removal of protections for women and girls with access to this dangerous kill pill.
Women hurt by abortion are disappointed that the Supreme Court never ruled on the safety of the abortion pill when they dismissed the case on a legal technicality. All the lower court judges who considered the evidence found that the FDA acted illegally and increased the danger to women and girls by removing safety standards.
Some 40 Years Later: A Nation STILL at Risk
- By Stephen Moore
School's out for the summer, so now it is time to examine the state of our education system.
By any objective measure, our school performance is fair or poor for most children. Math scores hit a 20-year low. ACT scores dropped to a 30-year low last year. In dozens of schools throughout the country, not one child is reading or practicing math at grade-level proficiency. Not one!
Some of this poor performance is due to the unforgivable mistake of shutting down our schools during COVID-19 -- despite children being less vulnerable to the virus.
You Had My Trust… and You Blew It
- By FLCCC Alliance & Jenna McCarthy
COVID was little more than a big, fat, criminal test of human conformity, gullibility, and susceptibility.
If you haven’t yet realized that COVID was little more than a big, fat, criminal test of human conformity, gullibility, and susceptibility–, no offense but* you might want to schedule an EEG to make sure your cerebral cylinders are actually still firing.
*Don’t you love no offense but? It’s the Ricky Gervais of phrases; basically the equivalent of broadcasting, “Buckle up because I’m one hundred percent about to offend you.” If you have kids, you’re likely familiar with this popular insult set-up. “No offense Mom, but your breath smells like dog poo.” Thanks, kid! Brutal honesty is always the best policy!
Will people stay home just because we tell them to? Will they wrap their faces in scraps of useless, porous, filthy fabric, stand obediently on arbitrarily-spaced floor stickers, play follow-the-arrows in grocery stores, eagerly agree to not gather with their friends and families for holidays and birthdays and weddings and funerals, and believe us that a parade of newer, pricier, nearly-identical versions of cheap, time-tested generic medicines are in fact superior? Will they inject untested, unproven, mystery elixirs into their bodies, over and over and sometimes over again, on command and in exchange for a donut or some curly fries? Most importantly of all, will they vehemently defend all of these asinine activities when their free-thinking friends call them cuckoo for complying?
The Voice of the Martyrs Recognizes Christians Persecuted by ISIS on Day of the Christian Martyr 2024
- By Voice of the Martyrs
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. -- Christians around the world will observe Day of the Christian Martyr on June 29, 2024, which according to church tradition, marks the anniversary of the Apostle Paul’s beheading in Rome.
In advance of Day of the Christian Martyr, The Voice of the Martyrs released strategic prayer resources and a video highlighting Christians martyred by ISIS in Northern Iraq and Syria.
You can watch VOM’s 2024 Day of the Christian Martyr video at vom.org/martyr.
“This year, instead of focusing on one person, VOM is focusing on an entire group: Christians who lost their lives in Northern Iraq and Syria as members of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) swept across that region ten years ago this month,” said Todd Nettleton, VOM vice president and spokesperson.
Are SC State Legislators Spying on Its Citizens?
- By James Spurck, Publisher
SC Rep. Jason Elliott Hired Private Investigator Phil Carter, Who Had a GPS Tracker Placed on Opponent’s Truck Without His Knowledge
The Post and Courier has brought to light a contentious issue here in South Carolina, reporting that State Rep. Jason Elliott and his associates have allegedly hired a private investigator to conduct surveillance on his District 6 opponent, Ben Carper, in an Upstate South Carolina state senatorial primary election runoff.
The article states that Elliott's team provided The Post and Courier documents alleging that Carper had illegally changed his driver’s license address and registered to vote at a rental property he owns inside District 6 despite living at another home in District 7.
Elliot’s attorney, Sloan Ellis, accused Carper of committing “voter fraud” and requested 13th Circuit Solicitor Walt Wilkins to investigate whether Carper committed a crime. It is yet to be determined if the Solicitor’s office has started any investigation at this time.
Carper vehemently denies any wrongdoing or illegal activity. In an interview with The Times Examiner, he clarified that his mother is the owner of the property in question and that he has claimed residence there for four years, with multiple vehicles registered at that address. He also stated that he receives mail at this location.
Timmons's Condescending Remarks of a Children's Christian Ministry
- By James Spurck, Publisher - Opinion
It’s Time to Send Patch the Pirate’s Commodore, the Jolly Roger, and its Crew to Washington, DC.
In 1976, a 9-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister, their future uncertain, were placed in a Greenville, South Carolina children’s home, a ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church on White Horse Road in Greenville, SC.
He and his sister were thrown into a world different from the one they knew in the Washington, DC area where they lived. They came to a place with unfamiliar beliefs in a man they knew nothing about, Jesus. It wasn't until a few weeks after his arrival at the children’s home that he first heard a clear presentation of this man and his story, Jesus.
It all began when a girl not much older than him approached and asked if he had ever been saved. The boy, completely clueless, asked if she was referring to him falling off a nearby building and being saved by her catching him. She laughed in wonder at how a young boy knew nothing about children their age needing a Savior.
At that moment, it was the first time I had ever heard the Gospel of the Lord Jesus. God used a 12-year-old girl to tell me, a 9-year-old boy, how the heavenly Father can comfort a boy with no father.

John Winthrop’s Great Hope, Exhortation, and Warning
- By Mike Scruggs
Will America Be a Light to the World or a Byword for Ungodly Folly?
On March 21, 1630, at Holyrood Church in Southampton, England, Puritan leader and later Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop, gave a warning sermon to his fellow Puritans about to depart to Boston on the Arabela. Near the end of his sermon, he used the example of a “City on a Hill,” referring to Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world, a city built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Winthrop was not an ordained minister; he was a lawyer, and his sermon was organized with a train of logic typical of English lawyers. But this train of logic was based on the solid truths of Scripture. His principal theme was love and the duty of godly love for one another with a pure heart and selfless fervor. In fact, his sermon was entitled, A Model of Christian Charity [Love], and his hope was that the Puritan community in Boston would become a model of Christian love, being a light and example to the world. Few if any in this party of persecuted Puritans had any ambition for New England or the American Colonies to become a great, wealthy, or politically or militarily powerful nation. Their hope was simply to live in peace and brotherly love and by their example become a beacon of divine truth and unselfish charity to the nations and their own posterity.
FREEDOM’S LAST BEST HOPE
- By W.H. Lamb
The first two lines of James Lowell’s (1819-1891) epic 1845 poem, “The Present Crisis”, remind us that: “When a deed is done for Freedom, through the broad earth’s aching breast, Runs a thrill of joy prophetic, trembling on from east to west.”
Various people throughout the world may have a different perception of “freedom” -- i.e. what it means to them--how they define it. The Oxford Dictionary lists what I consider to be pertinent definitions:
- The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants;
- The absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government;
- The power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity.
Bigoted Attack on Caitlin Clark
- By Bill Donohue - President, Catholic League
Caitlin Clark has done more for women's basketball than any other person. One would think that the superstar, who excelled at the University of Iowa and was the number-one draft pick in the Women's National Basketball Association (she plays for the Indiana Fever) would be treated with applause by fellow players, the media and pundits. While many have lauded her, she has been savaged by others. The stench of bigotry is in the air.
Clark is a white heterosexual Irish Catholic with a boyfriend. That is hardly exceptional, but unfortunately for her, that matters to some of her critics. [Note: All of the persons cited are black, with the exception of Clay Travis.]
Clark's Catholic faith is important to her. In 2018, she gave an interview to the Des Moines Register about her time at Dowling Catholic High School. "We get to live our faith every day. Dowling starts every day with prayer and ends every day with prayer. This is a big reason why Dowling has such a special culture and is such a special place to go to school."
The Second Great Colorado Land Grab
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Right now, there is a battle going on in Colorado. One side wants President Biden to use the 1906 Antiquities Act to designate over 400,000 acres of land in Mesa and Montrose Counties as a national monument. This would, among other things, limit future oil and gas leases, mining claims, rights-of-way, and utility infrastructure. Mining, ranching, and farming are the mainstay of the economy there. Opponents contend, not without cause, that the designation would “…end uranium mining … and put restrictions on hunting and cattle grazing and limit motorized travel”.
The locals, mainly comprised of locals who are justifiably upset that “the proposal does not require local support to pass”, and that much of land in Colorado (like a number of Western states) has been taken from private use via conservation easements, heritage sites, and other public/private partnership shenanigans.
