California Legislator Gets ‘Millstone Award’ for Writing Bill That Would Let Nonrelatives Make Decisions for Kids
- Details
- By USPIE

A California legislator is sponsoring a bill that would let non-relatives make crucial decisions for children in their parents’ absence.
For her role in pushing this dangerous legislation, Celeste Rodriguez, California State Assembly District 43, gets the September 2025 Millstone Award from United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE).
This is a Trojan horse that could easily be invoked to usurp parents’ rights. Bills like this are why USPIE is continuing to restore parental authority over children’s education. With this bill, anyone could make a major life-altering decision for any child.
Spinning the Catholic Killer's Bio
- Details
- By Bill Donohue - President, Catholic League
FBI Director Kash Patel got it right when he labeled the Minneapolis mass shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and an anti-Catholic hate crime.
Did Robert Westman (who changed his name to Robin after he falsely identified himself as a woman) also hate others, besides Catholics? Yes, there were many demographic groups whom he hated, but he only chose one group to murder—Catholic children praying at Mass. He killed two of them and injured 18 others.
Many reporters and pundits downplayed the anti-Catholic motive behind the shootings. Jake Tapper at CNN said Westman did not have “a specific motive,” noting that his “manifesto” was “kind of rambling.” Had he entered a mosque and killed Muslim children, would Tapper be just as bewildered?
Secretary Rollins Opens Next Step in the Roadless Rescission Rule

We are at a critical point right now re property rights across the entire United States, that is any state with a National Forest. Forty-one states plus Puerto Rico have at least one, and some states have numerous. So, a lot of people will be affected. Today, the urgency is on Oregon people’s interests, tomorrow will be more states.
https://wildtribute.com/pages/national-forests
While the current federal Administration is working to invigorate clean safe forest practices, with common sense practices, supporting true stewardship of the forests by opening up damaged forests. Our forests have been literal tinder boxes for years. This change would underpin healthy families, economic support of towns and schools, and ensure the safety of individuals and the forest denizens.

- By Emmitt Barry, with reporting from Worthy News Jerusalem Bureau Staff

JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel successfully launched the Ofek 19 reconnaissance satellite into orbit Tuesday night, marking a significant leap forward in the nation’s military space program and strengthening its intelligence and surveillance capabilities across the Middle East.
The launch took place at 10:30 p.m. from the Palmachim Airbase in central Israel using a three-stage Shavit launcher. According to the Defense Ministry, the satellite achieved orbit, began transmitting data back to Earth, and completed its first series of tests, paving the way for full operational service in the coming days.
National Debt to GDP Ratios Survey

History and Common Sense Warning Signals

Spanish- born philosopher and essayist George Santayana (1865-1952), in his 1905 volume, Reason in Common Sense, is especially remembered for these words: “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” This is often phrased more pointedly: “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
In June 2025, the US national Debt was $36.2 Trillion, and its annualized GDP was $30.3 Trillion. This is a ratio of slightly over 119 percent.
In economics, annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a year. It serves as a crucial indicator of a nation's economic performance and size.
Now We Must Ask: ‘QUO VADIS” America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb

One of my very favorite films of all time is that glorious old 1951 movie, QUO VADIS, which starred Deborah Kerr, Peter Ustinov, and the patriot, Robert Taylor. You may recall that Quo Vadis was a love story that revolved around the clash between the corrupted Roman culture, based on the veneration of a “Supreme Leader” (Emperor Nero), and the new Christian faith, based upon the worship of a “Supreme Savior”, our LORD Jesus. One scene particularly impressed me, because while it wasn’t Biblically accurate, it did illustrate the film’s message of duty to God before duty to country. In it, the Apostle Peter, portrayed so well by the late great character actor, Finlay Currie, was walking on a lonely road with a young friend, leaving Rome to avoid persecution under the Emperor Nero.
Backtrack or Excuses? Cracker Barrel Scraps Part of Its Controversial Rebrand
- Details
- By Sarah Holliday - The Washington Stand

Has Cracker Barrel caved to the pressure, or are its attempts to somewhat backpedal merely a superficial gesture to quell outrage?
The beloved American chain Cracker Barrel, known for its Southern comfort food and nostalgic Old Country Store charm since its founding in 1969, has ignited a firestorm with its recent rebranding efforts. The company’s “new creative campaign” aimed to modernize the brand “for the future,” but the changes have sparked widespread backlash, plunging Cracker Barrel into a cultural and financial maelstrom. The only rebrand this angry customer base has acknowledged is that Cracker Barrel went from enjoyable to “woke.”
Public Cost of Investigating Disputed $1.8B Grows to Over $11M

Editor’s note: This story is part of a two-article package today. The other story can be found here.
------------------
More than $11 million in state funds have been spent on investigations of and other matters related to the disputed $1.8 billion, The Nerve’s latest review has found.
The growing tab is $3.2 million more than the total revealed by The Nerve in March.
Of the known overall $11.25 million spent through Aug. 8, a collective $7.76 million was paid by four state agencies to six outside law firms in connection with an ongoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation – which started at least two years ago – into the $1.8 billion and related issues.
Enrollment Collapse Pushes Government Schools to Hire Expensive Recruiters to Attract Students
- Details
- By USPIE

School districts struggling with enrollment losses are hiring consultants to recruit students. This comes as more parents are choosing alternatives to government schools, such as private schooling and home education, according to a new report.
On Aug. 5, The New York Times reported that schools in “Orlando, Newark, Memphis and dozens of other cities and towns have hired consultants who aggressively woo parents to convince them to enroll their children in local public schools.”
Government schools lose money when students choose alternative options because per-pupil enrollment figures often determine government funding. Hence, a desperate push to attract more students.
Europe Is Dying -- Are We Next?

- By Stephen Moore
Let's start with a very simple truism: You can't have prosperity without people.
Human beings are the most valuable resource, because it is human ingenuity that creates, captures and cultivates all other resources. We as human beings are the custodians and protectors of the planet, not the destroyers of the planet (as the radical environmentalists would have you believe). The richer and more technologically advanced we become, the more likely we are to avert a catastrophic event like a giant meteor crashing into the planet and destroying all life.
Which brings us to a potentially ruinous trend: Many countries are literally running out of people.
Silfab Solar Whistleblower Alleges Secret Illegal Operations in Fort Mill

Jason Rhoades' testimony raises questions of negligence and fuels growing outrage over York County's handling of this foreign-run Fort Mill plant
A former Silfab Solar employee comes forward with evidence alleging the foreign company has been secretly in operation without appropriate permits and was fired days after asking for proof of occupancy permit.
In Fort Mill, a fierce dispute has unfolded over Silfab’s proposed manufacturing facility which is opposed by many York County residents who argue that the site, zoned “light industrial,” is dangerously close to two schools and poorly suited for a plant handling hazardous substances like silane and hydrofluoric acid.
A Discussion Between Concerned Patriots

- By W.H. Lamb
Bill,
Please bear with me on my question: Why did we not supply Ukraine with long-range missiles 3+ years ago so they could have destroyed Saint Petersburg and Moscow, ending the war as Russian civilians and soldiers quit or assassinated Putin, and saving 1.600,000 lives and $950,000,000,000?
Thanks, John
-------------------
Good to hear from you, John. You've asked a complicated question in my opinion, and the answer may be just as complicated, or perhaps perplexing.
Firstly, the war between Russia and Ukraine has possibly ancient underpinnings--i.e., hatred among people groups that goes far back in history, probably almost to not long after the dissolution of the Roman Empire. But dwelling on ancient rivalries and hatreds won't end today's chaos--it just gives a sort of "setting" for it. Much of it revolves around subscribing to "conspiratorial versions of history", which for the most part are not provable historically beyond doubt and which often are fomented by people or organizations with "agendas". This is especially the case in the ancient intrigues and violence that occurred between Russians and Ukrainians (or their predecessors in history over a thousand years ago).
Bed, Bath and Beyond California

The much-publicized exchange between Bed Bath & Beyond chairman Marcus Lemonis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a lesson for the whole country.
We shoppers look back fondly on the marketing acumen that, starting with one store in 1971, built Bed Bath & Beyond into a retail giant that once had 365 stores nationwide.
The shopping experience there was always great fun -- the basics of homemaking at great prices plus innovative trinkets that were always attention-getters at prices attractive enough to get you to buy what you weren't even thinking about when you walked into the store.

I apologize for the rambling nature of this post but I want to make several points and this is the only way I know how to do that. I wrote this article to appeal to liberals. If I change the hearts of minds of just one person, it's worth it to me. Please share it with any liberal family or friends that you have. All they can do is say - NO. But, you just might plant a seed if you try.
Remember when WOKE companies like Coca-Cola & Target & American Express were pushing the "diversity, equity & inclusion" narrative in America - and trying to bully us into believing that America is racist and unfair and the rest of the world is not. They even wanted American children to believe that slavery originated in America! That's total BS.
America is one of the ONLY truly diverse places in the world and Vermont Republic, USA was the first state in the WORLD to officially abolish slavery in 1777. So, America was the FIRST COUNTRY in the world to abolish slavery - that’s the truth no matter how they spin it.
Mainstream Media Lies about Project Ukraine
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Battered but Rising Sources of Truth

First of all, where do the lies come from? The largest share of US and British news media “information” on the Ukraine War is the Ukrainian Government through the Ukrainian Military General Staff and Ukrainian military intelligence services. The Ukrainian General Staff strictly controls news releases by both foreign and domestic media. In fact, the Ukrainian General Staff is usually the only allowed source of Ukrainian War news, which most often comes in the form of a handout. There are only a few independent war reporters in Ukraine, and these are always in danger of arrest or harm when in Ukrainian held territory. Moreover, US CIA and British MI6 foreign intelligence agencies have a decisive and often creative influence on Ukrainian information warfare strategy and propaganda releases. Ukrainian propaganda generally far exceeds merely slanted news stories and data interpretation. Its most prominent characteristic is deliberate disinformation and wildly distorted interpretations of facts and data. False flag events are a prime tool of Ukrainian intelligence agencies, which are closely linked to heavy CIA and MI6 influence.
The Nuclear Solution to SC’s Energy Problem
- Details
- By Neil Wolin - SC Policy Council

With the signage of the S.C. Energy Security Act H.3309, utilities are moving fast to put natural gas plant construction plans into action.
While the state relies on nuclear reactors for over half of its energy baseload, the failure of V.C. Summer reactors 2 and 3 has oriented utilities away from any immediate reactor revivals or construction.
No nuclear means higher rates
In lieu of 2,200 megawatts V.C. Summer reactors 2 and 3 were supposed to provide, a new natural gas plant in Colleton County will replace an out-of-service coal plant to recreate that baseload. One megawatt equates to 1,000 kilowatts, and South Carolina’s total summer energy capacity in 2022 was 24,286 megawatts (similar to today).

Eventually they got so perturbed and disgusted with their political situation that they revolted against the King in faraway England and his political cronies right in their midst, and established their own new country—the U.S.A.

Trump IS fighting for the life of our Nation
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
The words "Deep State, Swamp, Establishment" are not meant to be theatrical or sensational. In the following short YouTube presentation below by a well-informed former CIA Operator, the words I just stated are very real and very much in play.
President Trump is the most serious threat to the Deep State club members, ever. The only other president who worked at redeveloping a representative form of government our founders birthed and gave to us if we would keep it, was Ronald Reagan. While Reagan did much to return order and respect to the ways of Washington, DC he, himself, was hampered by Deep State club members embedded in his White House. Trump was also in his first term as President. I strongly believe with Trump as President America is sensing a new wind blowing, and I believe already foreign leaders sense it too, and even Uniparty and Swamp members are attempting to gain favor with Trump because I believe they know there is a different wind blowing across our government. Trump's personal character and deep-rooted beliefs as a "Servant Leader" and believer in this Republic as given to us by our founders is not made up or merely bombastic political rhetoric. Far too many elected officeholders and others encased throughout government as staunch establishment acolytes simply cannot understand what makes Donald J. Trump tick.

D.C. is Demolishing Crime

Our nation’s Capital should be a place where all Americans can feel safe. It should be the freest, yet most secure land in the world. Even though the Founding Fathers set this area aside as the seat of our government, it has turned into a large city dominated by liberal local politics. For too many decades, Washington, D.C., has been a city plagued by lawlessness. President Trump has a different vision for the District — one in which the Capital is a shining city of peace and prosperity, and his Administration is taking steps to ensure this goal becomes a reality. Positive changes are underway!
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.

He was a mentor, a counselor, and a steady voice of truth in turbulent times.”

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”.

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.
