Our Liberties Are Being Threatened!
- By W.H. Lamb
All Americans should be familiar with the immortal words that did much to ignite the American Revolution back in 1775. But it’s discouraging to admit that some Americans, victims of modernist/progressive “un-teaching” of history, have no clue as to who said, “…Give me liberty or give me death”, and the circumstances leading to one of the most famous speeches of American history, or when it was orated. Indeed, there are many Americans walking among us who have never heard of Patrick Henry, have barely heard of the American Revolution, haven’t a clue as to the years it was fought or the country our Revolutionary patriots struggled against to attain their liberty. How very sad! How frightening! To forget or ignore the past is to condemn the future! If history teaches anything, it teaches that truth. To paraphrase some wisdom from the past—those who forget history are doomed to live under the rule of determined tyrants who do NOT forget history!

Republicans Should Just Say No to Any Budget That Funds 87,000 New IRS Agents
- By Stephen Moore
One of the biggest promises by Republicans in the 2022 election season was that if they won a majority in the House, they would defund the $80 billion that Biden wants to hire 87,000 new IRS agents.
But now they are about to agree to a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending deal with President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to fund the federal government for the rest of the fiscal year. That includes the full funding for the IRS expansion.
As This Latin American Country Falls Apart, China Looks on Anxiously
- By John Mac Ghlionn - The Epoch Times
On first inspection, Peru and China, 11,000 miles apart, appear to have very little in common. However, the two countries share a very close history.
As the academic Justina Hwang has noted, in the space of 25 years, between 1849 and 1874, more than 100,000 unskilled workers, many of them from China, arrived in Peru. Having recently abolished slavery, Peru was amid a worker shortage. This allowed “the importation of an indentured workforce of Chinese laborers in order to meet Peruvian need for labor,” wrote Hwang.

On Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders orbited the Moon for the first time. Before the mission launched, the Apollo 8 crew was told they would be making a live television broadcast to the largest world wide television audience ever assembled. This is the story of what they chose to say during this momentous occasion.
Florida Supreme Court to Convene Grand Jury to Investigate COVID-19 Vaccines
- By Mimi Nguyen Ly - The Epoch Times
The Florida Supreme Court announced Thursday it approved a request by Gov. Ron DeSantis to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate any wrongdoing related to COVID-19 vaccines.
“A statewide grand jury shall be promptly impaneled for a term of twelve calendar months, to run from the date of impanelment, with jurisdiction throughout the State of Florida, to investigate crime, return indictments, make presentments, and otherwise perform all functions of a grand jury with regard to the offenses stated herein,” reads the court order (pdf) issued Thursday.
It Must Always Be 'Merry Christmas'
- By Robin M. Itzler - American Thinker
Decades ago, when I was a liberal Democrat, I bought into the fallacy that saying “Merry Christmas” was wrong. But back then, I also thought murdering a baby in the womb was right. As (my husband and) I slowly morphed into Reagan Democrats and then finally abandoned the now Marxist-leaning Democrat party to register as Republicans, I realized that celebrating Christmas is fundamental to the United States remaining a beacon of freedom in the world. Commemorating Christmas guarantees freedom of religion for all Americans.
Think about it. If a nation where about 80 percent of its population is Christian is denied its own religious beliefs (“Merry Christmas” morphing into “Happy Holidays”), what chance do smaller religions such as Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. have for celebrating their holidays? If woke Marxists can remove the nativity scene from Christmas and replace it with Santa Claus, it’s even easier to remove the Hanukkah menorah and replace it with Liberace’s candelabra.

As we watch people around the world demanding freedom, What Is happening to America?
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Where are the American freedom fighters?
We are watching people around the world erupt. They see the writing on the wall and have decided that they aren’t going to take it anymore. In China, from The Economist:
“Under a road bridge in central Beijing, just before two o’clock in the morning on November 28th, one of that city’s most powerful men came face to face with youngsters driven to despair by China’s harsh “zero-covid” controls. The brief meeting was revealing in several ways. It offered a glimpse of the security machine built by China’s supreme leader, President Xi Jinping, and the Communist Party’s confidence in it. On the protesters’ side, it showed how, in today’s China, youthful idealism is tempered by a sober understanding of the party’s might.
Normal People Are Crying Out for a Leader
- By Neil Patel
The leftward shift of the Democratic Party has provided a huge opportunity for Republicans. People are completely put off by many of the radical policies Democrats are pushing. What a gift this should be for Republicans. So why have they been so thoroughly unable to capitalize?
A huge chunk of the Republican Party's Washington establishment is still living in 1995. They are thoroughly unable to get their heads around the profound changes in America. As with so many Americans these days, they are defined by their own bubble. The people they know best -- corporate America and those in leadership positions -- are generally thriving. They haven't stopped to consider whether the trade, immigration, spending, defense and other policies that define them need an update in light of the country's current circumstances. The giant wave of political unease in America -- even after a reality TV host kicked their door open and took over the living room! -- has caused almost zero self-reflection among Republicans.
Pro-Life Women Punished in U.S. and U.K.
- By Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
A woman nurse in Texas has been ordered by President Biden's Department of Veteran Affairs to assist in performing abortions or she will lose her job. A woman in Birmingham, England has been arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic and may go to prison.
The Texan woman sued the VA in December and the English woman was arrested in December.
The Texan nurse, Stephanie Carter, is a Christian who has been working at the VA for 23 years. She sued after the VA issued its mandate on September 9. Her lawsuit says she "cannot perform, prescribe, or counsel for abortion services because of her sincerely held religious beliefs that unborn babies are created in the image of God and should be protected."
Artificial Intelligence, Real Ignorance, and Our New Idolatry
- By Jared Bridges - Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Stand
Almost a decade ago, on a whim, I answered an unknown call to my cell phone. It was some sort of survey, and I for once decided to play along to see where it was going. There was something peculiar about the way the voice on the other end spoke that raised my suspicions, so I asked, “Are you a robot?” The voice chuckled and replied, “Am I that bad? I hope my boss isn’t listening to this call.” He then proceeded with the survey. Still not completely convinced, I interjected, “Sorry, but before I go on, I just need you to answer one question for me: What color is the sky?” The voice then quickly said, “Hmmm. I’ll have to research that and someone will get back to you.”
Omnibus Bill Includes over $11 Million in LGBT Special Interest Projects
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
Congressional Democrats unveiled an over 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion government funding package early Tuesday morning, leaving lawmakers little time to review the text and vote on it before a looming government shutdown on Friday at midnight. Experts point out that the omnibus bill’s earmarks include over $11 million in LGBT-themed projects, and GOP lawmakers say the special interest spending could be avoided if the omnibus was delayed until January when the newly elected Republican-led House would be in power.
Ask Your House and Senate Lawmakers to Vote Against Omnibus
- By Eagle Forum
Take Action
Our elected officials must stop a massive $1.7 trillion spending bill that is currently moving through the House and Senate! The omnibus would fund the government through next year and avert a government shutdown this week. However, the devil is in the details. This piece of legislation is fraught with unnecessary and destructive policies. Here is some of the leftist agenda included:
Even Republicans Are All in on Washington's End-of-Year Spending Spree
- By Stephen Moore
The federal government is running annual $1 trillion to $2 trillion budget deficits, which is more than the entire gross domestic product of most nations. But if you believed that Republicans would take a chainsaw to the budget (figuratively) and slash the waste from the federal budget, then to paraphrase the "Oliver Twist" character of Fagin, the miser, "I think you had better think it out again."
So far, since the midterm elections, the Republicans in Congress seem to be doing just the opposite. The first decision by House Republicans when they learned they had won a slim majority of 222 to 213 was to bring back earmarks. These are bridges to nowhere, peanut subsidies and sports arenas for local professional teams paid for by federal taxpayers.
America is Living in the Matrix
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
The 1999 film The Matrix depicts a dystopian future where humanity is trapped in a simulated reality created by evil machines.
Fast forward to our world today on the cusp of 2023. While we may not be living in a simulated reality created by intelligent although evil machines, we as a country are certainly living in a reality created by the news media, social media—and the fact that most of us exist in our own mental bubble with our heads buried in our cell phones.
Fifty years ago, or so, the news was reported in somewhat of a straight-forward manner; facts were presented, and we were asked to draw our own conclusions. There were, of course, opinion pieces in the newspapers of the time and by commentors on TV—but the difference was that we were told that what we were hearing was the opinion of an individual with certain biases. That was fair enough.

Life After The United States
- By Winston McCuen
After Dem-RINO policies impoverish Americans and bankrupt America. After Putin wins the US-Russia proxy war in Ukraine. After America is invaded and swamped through a treasonously opened border. After NATO falls. After the United States BREAKS UP, from deep social and regional ideological division and from total political and governmental corruption at the 'federal' level. What then?
Among these dis-united States, new borders will be formed and drawn, new constitutions will be written and ratified, and new alliances with foreign powers, including neighboring States, will be made.
The Trojan Horse Called "Interfaith"
- By Catching Fire News
Shahram Hadian and host Ron Branstner take an in-depth look into the Muslim brotherhood, and the Trojan horse of deception called “interfaith” and “multi-faith.”
They examine the kaleidoscope of organizations intertwined through interfaith/multi-faith dialogue, who disguise themselves as humanitarian.
This deception by the progressive left and the Islamic movement unknowingly ensnares Christians and Jews into ushering in the globalist agenda and their tyrannical one-world government.
Olympic Committee Changes Transgender Guidelines, Still Promotes Transgenders
- By Christian Newswire
MADISON, Wis. -- The International Olympic Committee has revised guidelines presented 13 months ago that said transgender athletes have 'no presumption of advantage'.
After that decision, the IOC received criticism from many, including 4 WINDS USA - Steve McConkey, and the science community for overlooking the physical advantages of transgender athletes.
The new guidelines say testosterone levels alone should not be used, but the specific demands of each individual sport should be considered. They want science and activists to decide what is right for each sport.

What was the star of Bethlehem?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
It's Christmas time, so in this article, we will look at the star Of Bethlehem. What are some of the theories as to what it was and how well do they fit what the Bible actually describes.
Matthew 2:1-12
1, Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3, When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Should Christians Celebrate Christmas
- By Christian Newswire
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The latest episode of the hit podcast, Daniel Kolenda: Off the Record, just dropped, and the subject matter is stirring up provocative conversations among audiences everywhere. In it, he asks, "Should Christians celebrate Christmas?" While the question strikes some as curious (after all, why wouldn't they?), others point to the holiday's pagan influences, borderline worship of commercialism, and historical inaccuracies as reasons enough for true Christ-followers to eschew the celebration. In his candid, casual, and no-holds-barred style, Evangelist Kolenda tackles the topic head-on.
How Do We Get Our Nation Back on Track?
- By Star Parker
Some thoughts about our country as Christmas and the new year approach.
In his Farewell Address to the nation in 1796, America's departing first president, George Washington, observed: "It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring to popular government."
And what is the basis upon which we define morality?
Washington answers, "reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

The Troll Sagas
- By Mike Scruggs
Introduction
Long before the first waves of human settlers began to make their homes in the peaceful mountain valleys and magnificent fjords of western Norway, it was inhabited by seven tribes of trolls. These trolls were not mere beasts, but intelligent beings highly skilled in many arts and possessing an enviable fund of wisdom. Some of these tribes were extraordinarily advanced in their pursuit of truth, beauty, and virtue—but others were exceedingly wicked. The Norse sagas tell of their survival right through the Viking Age, but then they seem to disappear. But bits and pieces of troll history can be gleaned from many Norse sagas. In addition, new discoveries and work on previously untranslated sagas have greatly enriched our knowledge of trolls. Owing at least partly to these new discoveries, there has been a remarkable increase of public interest in trolls during the last ten years. Many more reports of trolls are now being seen in Norwegian newspapers, but these are usually attributed to too much alcohol. Having studied the matter for many years now, I am not so skeptical. Perhaps we are finally opening our eyes to what was there all along. But I will let the readers decide for themselves. Here is the story of Ketel Flatnose as seen through the eyes of several Norse skalds and the author.
Bluffing Their Way to an Art. V Convention
- By Judi Caler
Part 2: The Best PR Money Can Buy
In Part 1, we saw that ever since 1907, 2/3 or more of the States have had at least one active application on record asking Congress to call a convention under Art. V. And if Congress is hoodwinked into validating all non-rescinded applications by passing H.R.8419 or its 2023 counterpart,[1] Congress will likely trigger the first constitutional convention since 1787.
So why wasn’t Congress deceived into calling a convention 50 or 100 years ago? Perhaps it’s because the PR industry hadn’t come of age yet! To justify a “call,” Congress, whose priority is getting re-elected, would require considerable constituent pressure—or the appearance of such—before casting a vote that would risk our Constitution.
6 Republican Lies Behind the 'Respect for Marriage' Act
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
The recent, lamentable vote over the so-called Respect for Marriage Act revealed a new breed of Republican: The “personally pro-marriage, but” Republican. Like their spiritual forebears, the “personally pro-life, but” Democrats, they strenuously present themselves as people of deep moral conviction, who have equally compelling reasons to lay aside their views and act on other people’s convictions for political reasons. Here are six such explanations offered by Republican senators who supported the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and the reason their rationales fall short.
