Top 10 Successful Young Earth Creation Predictions that Result Directly from What is in the Bible
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One common claim that evolutionists use against creationists is that we never produce any testable Predictions. This, of course, is blatantly untrue because there are a number of creationist theories that do just that, and frequently these predictions are things that surprise evolutionists when they are demonstrated to be true. However, you do not have to go to specific creationist models to get successfully made predictions. This is because there are a number of predictions that come naturally out of the Biblical account.
Dr. James C. Dobson, Visionary, Family Advocate and Founder of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute, Dies at 89
- Details
- By EPIC
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Dr. James C. Dobson, one of the most influential Christian leaders of the last half-century and a tireless advocate for the traditional family, passed away on August 21, 2025 at the age of 89. A psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster, and advisor to five U.S. presidents, Dr. Dobson dedicated his life to strengthening marriages, guiding parents, and defending biblical values by championing the central role of family in America.
“Dr. Dobson was a pioneer—a man of deep conviction whose voice shaped the way generations view faith, family and culture,” said Gary Bauer, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. “His bold leadership, integrity, and compassion helped equip countless families to thrive in a world of shifting values. He was a mentor, a counselor, and a steady voice of truth in turbulent times.”
Can AI’s Crazy Train Be Derailed? Christian AI Efforts Seek to Shape Emerging Tech

The late Ozzy Osbourne sang in 1980 about “going off the rails on a crazy train.” Forty-five years later, if anything has gone off the rails, it’s the crazy train of AI.

Pursuing Peace—The Alaska Summit
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Successful First Step in Building Trust
Transcripts of Putin and Trump Alaska Speeches
The Alaska Summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin far exceeded my expectations of the pursuit of peace. This was despite unwelcoming media coverage by such media as Fox News. Fox News Neocon coverage of the Alaska Summit reflected their abysmal ignorance of and mind-locked ideological bent against anything Russian and especially against Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been Russia’s leader for 25 years.
The expectation of the Fox Neocons seemed to be that Trump would compel Putin to accept an unconditional cease-fire in Ukraine. That expectation was irrational for several reasons, but it reflects the Neocon proclivity to look at negotiation as successful bullying. But successful negotiations start with building trust, and the Alaska Summit was a tremendous success because it made an excellent start at building trust.
Sergei Rachmaninoff: The Soul of a Musical Master
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Despite having a long and public career as a classical music composer and an acclaimed musician who was called “the last great figure of the tradition of Russian Romanticism”, who was an orchestral conductor from time to time, and who was one of the greatest concert pianists of the 20th century, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) was known to be an intensely private person. He was a man who loved his native Russia despite leaving it when Marxism obliterated its historic culture—a man who lived much of his life in Europe and the United States yet never fully learned the English language—a man who suffered severe depression in his early career to such an extent that he almost abandoned composing and performing classical music in his twenties—an apolitical man who despised Marxism when it overwhelmed his native Russia, forcing him to leave it forever in 1917, yet who contributed money to the Russian “Red” Army during World War 11. What a great loss to the world it would have been had the winds of political and economic turmoil and personal demons destroyed his “raison d’etre”—his reason for existing, which was to compose music “for the ages”.
2025 Property Tax Reassessment Presentation
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Greenville County Councilman, District 19
Property taxes are one of the most important (and often confusing) pieces of how local government operates. Every five years, Greenville County conducts a countywide property reassessment to ensure tax values reflect current market conditions. That reassessment will take effect in 2025, and understandably, many of you are asking: “How will this impact my tax bill?”
To help answer those questions, Greenville County Auditor Scott Case is hosting a Reassessment Overview and Q&A session:

Life lessons through sports
There are multiple life lessons that can be learned through a properly focused athletic program. Here are a few real-life experiences.
Lesson 1 – Relish Unfairness…
Minutes before the start of the basketball game a mom approached me. I could see in her body language she was concerned about something.
“These teams are totally unfair, what are we going to do?” I glanced at the two teams warming up. My team had 7 players, all shorter than the shortest player on the other team, which had 10 players. It was hard to argue with her assessment. But I had a different perspective…
“We are missing our three tallest players, I think one is sick and the other two are out of town,” I explained.
Ohio is Requiring AI Policies for All K-12 Schools. Will Other States Follow?
- Details
- By USPIE
AI should not be a tool used by anyone trying to teach children to understand truth, logic, fairness, values and subjects like math, literature and history.
Ohio has become the first state to mandate the drafting of AI frameworks in all government K-12 schools.
Depending on what they come up with, this could be a needed check on out-of-control technology or a plunge into bad educational practices.
AI, by its nature, makes people intellectually lazy since something else is doing the thinking for them. While it can be a great tool for research, AI has no place in school curricula that teach basic skills. Kids learn best experientially.
An Allegedly Civilized World Genuflects to Hamas

- By Star Parker
As the governments of the U.K., Canada and France announce their intent to recognize a Palestinian state, I recall the words of C.S. Lewis, so aptly quoted by President Ronald Reagan in his famous "evil empire" speech:
"The greatest evil is not done now ... in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint. It is ... not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered, moved, seconded, carried and minuted in clear, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice."
Imagine the AI World
- Details
- By Anne Schlafly - Eagle Forum Chairman
The “smart” people in Silicon Valley are repackaging an old idea in order to sugar-coat their brave new world order of artificial intelligence. The elites anticipate that, since most jobs will be obsolete with AI, there will be a scarcity of jobs, so they will need to keep the unemployed content. Like previous emperors, their solution is bread and circuses.
These tech leaders want to insulate themselves against any potential unrest with their planned AI economic disruption. They truly believe that distributing money without strings is an effective and unbureaucratic way to help struggling people. The idea is called “Universal Basic Income”, but the reality of UBI is “You Be Indolent”.
'Drill, Baby, Drill' Is Working
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Well, so much for the vaunted renewable energy "transition" to save the planet. This was always a fable. We get 80% of our energy from fossil fuels, and with Donald Trump now in the White House, that ratio is rising, not falling.
A Reuters headline from recent days tells the real story: "US crude production to hit record 13.41 million (barrels per day) in 2025 before falling."
The data from the International Energy Agency tells the same story about clean natural gas: We're producing more of it than ever before. Why shouldn't we? The U.S. has greater access to clean, cheap, reliable and made-in-America natural gas than any other nation. Natural gas is far cheaper and less land-intensive than ugly wind and solar farms that industrialize America's natural landscape beauty.
Creationists or Evolutionists: Who Really Ignores Evidence?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists frequently accuse creationists of ignoring evidence. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that most evolutionists are convinced by their education that all the evidence support the Big Bang to man evolutionary story. Consequently, the only explanation. for not agreeing with it, is that you are ignoring the evidence. Furthermore, they frequently confuse the interpretation of evidence for the evidence itself. The result of this perspective is that they conclude that rejecting the interpretation is the same as ignoring or even denying the evidence.
Trump Pledges Executive Order to Scrap Mail-In Ballots, Voting Machines
- Details
- By Emmitt Barry, with reporting from Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – President Donald Trump announced Monday that he will spearhead a movement to eliminate mail-in ballots and certain voting machines from U.S. elections, declaring that only paper ballots with watermarks can restore honesty to the nation’s voting system.
The president, writing in a lengthy Truth Social post, said the campaign would begin with an executive order aimed at bringing “HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.”
“We are now the only country in the world that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED,” Trump wrote. “We will begin this effort, which will be strongly opposed by the Democrats because they cheat at levels never seen before.”
South Carolina Is 2025's 4th Most Religious State

- By Luke Powers - SmileHub
Most Religious States
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the freedom to practice any religion or none at all, and this fundamental right remains a cornerstone of American values. Nationally, more than two-thirds of adults are religiously affiliated. Given its importance, understanding the best places for religious inclusivity can be key to finding your community.
To highlight the states that care the most about religion and the ones where it is less important, SmileHub compared each of the 50 states based on 13 key metrics. The data set ranges from the number of faith & religious support charities per capita to the share of people who pray at least daily to the number of religion-related careers per capita.
Lessons from Last Presidential Election

- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
IRRELEVANCE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLICY INFLUENCERS
At the outset it must be candidly acknowledged that there are those in America that sincerely, for whatever reason, identify with and support the vision of the Democratic Party. The same must be said of those that sincerely, for whatever reasons, identify with and support the vision of the Republican Party. There does not seem to be, in recent history of our country, such a diametrically opposed vision for America as presented itself as in the last presidential national election (2024). The intensive battle, it seems, is for the mind of individuals and how to convince them of the “truth” of “your” vision. Whose arguments prevailed in the last election and why? Who was credible and relevant for most Americans in the last election and who was not?

Liana Davis, a Texas woman, has become the latest victim of a disturbing case of the abortion pill being used against her, and she’s taking her pain to court.
Her lawsuit alleges that Christopher Cooprider, a 34-year-old U.S. Marine, impregnated her and repeatedly pressured her to “get rid” of the baby, despite her firm refusals. According to the federal lawsuit, Davis has accused Cooprider of dissolving at least 10 misoprostol pills into a drink he gave her at her Corpus Christi home while she was eight weeks pregnant with his child.
Member of European Parliament Speak

- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
We are in a period of time when most elected officials don’t even pretend to be public servants anymore, and this is especially true at the national level with few exceptions. The idea of an “I – thou” relationship has evolved. America’s liberal political establishment, along with the RINO political fraternity, has become something our Forefathers would be up in arms about if they were here. The RINO’S and Establishment politicians are useful idiots working to morph America into a Marxist society completely erasing our Republic, and the principles in our founding documents which made America…America! The goal is to collapse the United States into a satellite country submissive to China as the leading nation of the New-World Order.
Weak Republican Leadership, Dangerous Consequences
- Details
- By SC Freedom Caucus
The South Carolina Freedom Caucus exists to protect individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and the God-given, time-tested traditional family values that form the foundation of a free society. That means defending the privacy, safety, and dignity of men, women, and children against radical social experiments being forced into our schools, locker rooms, and communities.
The recent federal injunction forcing a Berkeley County school to allow a female student to use the boys’ restroom is not just misguided, it is an outright assault on truth, parental rights, and common sense. There is no such thing as “transitioning” from one sex to another. Sex is a biological reality, determined at conception and immutable for life. Public policy must reflect that truth, not bow to activist judges or special interests.
Efforts Are Underway to Protect Children from Mutilation
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Parents are fed up with the transgender movement. Trans activists have blatantly targeted children, large corporations, and medical associations. Drag queens have chanted, “We’re coming for your children,” while indecently exposing themselves to minors in school settings, public libraries, and parades. After years of this chaos permeating our culture while being actively pushed by the Biden Administration, federal efforts have begun to right the ship. We now have tools we can wield to protect the most vulnerable.
Trump Warns Russia Of ‘Very Severe Consequences’ If Talks Fail Over Ceasefire In Ukraine

WASHINGTON/BERLIN/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia will face “very severe consequences” if he does not agree to a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine during their upcoming summit in Alaska.
After a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump also suggested pushing for a second summit if Friday’s meeting with Putin goes well. That follow-up, he pledged, would include Ukraine’s president.
Trump Orchestrates Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal, U.S. Involvement in the Caucasus Mountains
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
President Donald Trump orchestrated yet another peace deal on Friday, coaxing Armenia and Azerbaijan to settle decades of differences with the prospect of an economic windfall — of which America would take its own slice. This strategic settlement also siphons support away from America’s adversaries out of their own backyard, prying the Caucasus states away from the influence of Russia and Iran.
On Friday, Trump sat between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, as they signed the historic peace deal at the White House. “For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations. … Many tried to find a resolution … and they were unsuccessful. With this Accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making peace,” he announced.
Gavin Newsom's Misguided Redistricting Initiative
- Details
- By Star Parker
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is upset with Texas.
There's a reason he should be upset. California companies are pulling up in droves and moving to the Lone Star State and elsewhere.
But that isn't what's bothering him. Newsom cares about politics and power, not markets and business.
He's upset that the Texas state legislature is moving to redistricting that could add up to five Republican seats in 2026. So, Newsom wants to redistrict, which could add another five Democrat seats in California.
As Many as 1 Million Kids Will Have School Choice This Year

- By Stephen Moore
This is the dawning of the age of school choice.
The school bells will start ringing in the days and weeks ahead, but a record number of kids -- especially children from low-income families -- will be opting out of the traditional public schools. This year as many as 1 million kids will participate in public school alternatives, including voucher programs, tuition tax credits, scholarship programs or charter schools.
That's a good thing, right? After all, to paraphrase the famous axiom: When schools compete, kids win.

This nation is changing faster than perhaps any time in our lives! President Donald Trump is rapidly moving to make our nation more secure against the forces of the Deep State that has led a hidden revolution of destruction.
But… President Trump CANNOT stop the Deep State by himself. Global forces like the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations are powerful and determined enemies of the Trump platform. And they intend to stop him, no matter the cost. They are everywhere, pushing their agenda.
Today, to stop Trump, the WEF is moving forward with a plan to go around the Trump efforts. Their target is your community, through your city council and country commission.
Federal Judge Partially Blocks Arkansas Ten Commandments Classroom Display Law
- Details
- By Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – A federal district judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of Arkansas’ new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, calling it “plainly unconstitutional” and part of a broader effort to inject Christian doctrine into education.
Arkansas Act 573, signed earlier this year by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, mandates that each “elementary and secondary school library and classroom” prominently display a privately purchased or donated copy of the Ten Commandments. The measure is part of a trend in Republican-led states, including Texas and Louisiana, that have adopted similar requirements.
Texas Redistricting Circus Heats Up as Blue States and GOP Square Off
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Texas Democrats learned a lot from their melodramatic walkout over an election integrity bill in 2021. But unfortunately for the party of deserters, so did Republicans. This time around, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) not only has the support of the White House but a wealth of tools at his disposal that, four years later, he’s even less afraid to use. While the Lone Star fugitives hole up in the leftist bastions of Massachusetts, Illinois, and New York, plotting their resistance like the second coming of Charles de Gaulle, the cold, hard reality is one even the media can’t ignore: eventually, the Democrats will have to go home.
The AWOL Texans, whose stunt to stop the legislature from redrawing the state’s congressional districts is in its second week, admit that the spectacle — not the end game — is what they really care about. “We’ve only done this a couple of times,” Rep. John Bucy told CNN. “We don’t have a good plan all the time.” What comes next, another freely admitted, “we don’t know.” While some of them dramatically promise to do “whatever it takes” to keep the statehouse in complete paralysis, the truth is that they’re running out of options.
Advocates for Faith & Freedom Challenges California’s Ban on Religious Vaccine Exemptions in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
- Details
- By Advocates for Faith & Freedom
RElMURRIETA, Calif. — On Friday, August 8, 2025, Advocates for Faith & Freedom filed its opening brief with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of four California moms and their families fighting to restore religious exemptions to the State’s vaccination law. Since 1961, California had allowed exemptions for personal beliefs—including religious objections. But in 2016, the State nixed all personal belief exemptions, which they knew to also include any and all religious exemptions. The State’s vaccine law, SB277, still allows exemptions for secular reasons though. The State allows students with a medical exemption, students who are over 18-years-old, students with IEPs (individualized education plans), students with certain social statuses like homelessness, military families, and in foster care, and students transferring schools to be exempt or to enjoy periods of exemption from the law’s requirements. Yet even though the State allows numerous secular exemptions, it refused to allow a religious exemption to the small number of families who seek to exempt their children based on religious reasons. Religious families who object to the vaccines required under SB277 have to choose: follow their sincerely held religious beliefs or forego admissibility to all private and public schools for their children in the State of California.
Political Storm Clouds in the Caucasus
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan
The Caucasus is the mountainous region between the Black Sea on its west and the Caspian Sea on its east. The Caucasus Mountain range is generally considered the divide between Europe and Asia in the region. The Caucasus is bound on the north by the southwestern part of the Russian Federation, on the west by eastern Turkey, and the south by northern Iran. Its is not far from Ukraine which shares the northern Black Sea coast with the Russian Federation.
The independent Caucasus nations are generally considered to be Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. However, nine governmental divisions of the Russian Federation are also considered part of the Caucasus. The most significant of these for this brief are Chechnya and North Ossetia-Alania.
It should be noted that Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are all former Soviet Socialist Republics, part of the Soviet Union until the breakup of the USSR in 1991.
