The Eclipse of Europe
- By Pat Buchanan
For centuries up to and including the 20th, Europe seemed the central pivot of world history.
Then came the Great Civil War of the West, our Thirty Years' War (1914-1945), where all of the great European powers -- Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia -- along with almost all of the rest, fought some of history's greatest battles.
Result: Europe's greatest nations were all bloodied. All of Europe's empires fell. The colonial peoples were all largely liberated and began the great migration to the mother countries. And Europe was split between a U.S.-led West and a Moscow-dominated Soviet bloc.
Government of the Unions, by the Unions, for the Unions
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden keeps boasting that all the new jobs his programs will supposedly create will be "good-paying union jobs." But, Joe, what about the 93% of private sector workers who are not members of unions? Does he care about them?
The Labor Department reports that in America today, 6.3% of all private sector workers are union members. So more than 10 of 11 private workers aren't.
The only area where unions are growing in America is in government. Nearly half of government workers, led by teachers, are unionized. And they are radicalized.
Meanwhile, nearly every policy coming out of the White House gives special-interest privileges for the labor bosses.

How Should Christians Use Religious Exemptions for Vaccine Mandates?
- By David Closson - Family Research Council
After months of promising that his administration would not mandate COVID-19 vaccines, President Joe Biden has changed course. Earlier this month, the president issued an executive order requiring millions of federal employees to either get the vaccine, get tested weekly, or face dismissal from their job. Shortly after the executive order, the president handed down another mandate, requiring all employers with more than 100 employees to mandate their workers be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing. Businesses that do not comply with the rule can be fined up to $14,000 per violation. The new regulation is supposed to be drafted and implemented by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor.
Raymond Douglas SIMMONS
- By Press Release
FEBRUARY 28, 1931 – SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
Raymond (Ray) Douglas Simmons went home to be with the Lord the night of September 6, 2021. Ray was a devout Christian and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He served in the Navy stateside during the Korean Conflict and retired from a career in civil service in the mid-1980s. In addition to his 8-to-5 job, he was an extremely talented visual artist and woodworker. As a conservative activist, he was a prolific editorial writer and political commentator serving as a contributing columnist with a Greenville, SC newspaper, The Times Examiner. On top of all these activities, he and his wife, Elizabeth, kept a busy social schedule visiting with friends and family, working together on various art projects, and helping out anyone who needed help---from “handyman” work to being a “prayer warrior". His passing will leave a hole in the lives of all who knew him.
Revolution, Civil War, and Separation
- By Mike Scruggs
Understanding the American Iliad and Shattering some Historical Myths – Part 1
The American Revolutionary War (1775–83), as it is most frequently termed, was not a truly a revolutionary war. A revolution, as commonly defined, is the overthrow and replacement of a government or social order with a new system of government or social order. The American colonists had no intention whatsoever of overthrowing King George III or the British Parliament or interfering with the Anglican Church in England. Thirteen of Great Britain’s North American colonies wanted political independence from British rule. The “Revolutionary War” is more properly called the War for American Independence, but it was really a war for the independence and self-determination of thirteen colonies united by common causes. Nor was the war part of an internal a civil war for control of Great Britain or the British Empire. The thirteen colonies were geographically separated from Britain and saw compelling reasons for separating from British political control and determining their own political and economic destinies.
House Dems United in Death
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
People say it’s hard to find consensus in Washington, but Democrats have found plenty on one issue: abortion. At least in the House, the idea of middle ground has vanished. When it comes to the taking of innocent life, the battlelines are clear: Republicans are 100-percent opposed, and all but one Democrat is in favor.
With all that’s going on in the world, you’d think Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would have better things to do than reignite a vicious debate over late-term abortion. But with very little for the Democratic Party to agree on these days, the California radical decided it was time to bring everyone back together with a vote on her disingenuously named "Women’s Health Protection Act" -- a bill so radical that it would wipe away every state restriction on abortion and legalize it right up to the moment of birth.
The Separation Of School And State Is Needed To Save Our Nation And Our Children!
- By W.H. Lamb
“I AM MUCH AFRAID THAT SCHOOLS WILL PROVE TO BE GREAT GATES OF HELL UNLESS THEY DILIGENTLY LABOR IN EXPLAINING THE HOLY SRIPTURES, ENGRAVING THEM IN THE HEARTS OF YOUTH. I ADVISE NO ONE TO PLACE HIS CHILD WHERE THE SCRIPTURES DO NOT REIGN PARAMOUNT. EVERY INSTITUTION IN WHICH MEN ARE NOT INCREASINGLY OCCUPIED WITH THE WORD OF GOD MUST BECOME CORRUPT.” - Martin Luther (1483-1546)
How prescient was that great, but flawed, man of God, Martin Luther! We all know, by now, that prayer, Bible reading, and the life lessons taught by God’s Word were long ago (1962 & 1963) banned from our government so-called “schools” or, as I prefer to think of them, anti-education, anti-American centers for the un-education and the corruption of our youth.
DOT’s Road-Repair Schedules Full of Potholes
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Major repaving or road reconstruction projects in South Carolina could take on average at least a year and possibly more than two years to complete, The Nerve found in a review of state Department of Transportation records.
But it’s unclear exactly how long it takes to finish road projects funded with gas-tax-hike revenues, given that DOT’s publicly available records are incomplete.
Meanwhile, DOT continues to sit on hundreds of millions of dollars generated under the gas-tax-hike law that took effect July 1, 2017. As of Aug. 31, the cash balance in a special fund created with the law was $869.7 million, or 42.4% of the $2.05 billion in revenues collected since 2017, according to DOT and state comptroller general records.
BJU Students Honored at Carolinas Communication Association Conference
- By Randy Page - BJU
Three graduate students in Bob Jones University’s Department of Communication Studies were recognized at the Carolinas Communication Association (CCA) annual convention held virtually from Mars Hill University in Mars Hill, North Carolina, September 24-25.
Prior to the convention, students from around the region submitted papers for consideration in the CCA’s competitive, blind review process.
New Study Shows Many Evangelical Protestants Now Plan for Online Church to Be Part of Their Lives, Even Without a Pandemic
- By Infinity Concepts
EXPORT, Penn. -- Because of COVID-19, more than three out of every four evangelical Protestants in the US have experienced watching church online instead of attending in-person. More important is that going forward, the majority who did, now want to make online viewing part of their normal church experience.
These findings come from the new report, The Ripple Effect: Congregations, COVID, and the Future of Church Life, from Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research. The study, which included over 1,000 American Evangelical Protestants, examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on church attendance and attitudes about the experience. Most notably, the study explores how evangelicals want to attend church in the future.
4 WINDS USA President Steve McConkey Says Olympic Transgender Guidelines Should Not Be Delayed Three Years
- By Christian Newswire
MADISON, Wis. -- Three years later than planned, the Olympic transgender guidelines will be adjusted after the February 2022 Olympics in China.
The current guidelines issued in 2015 say transgender women do not have to have reassignment surgery if their testosterone levels are below ten nanomoles for twelve months. Individual sports federations are allowed to make their own rules.
At the Council of Europe conference, Olympic medical director Dr. Richard Budgett spoke about promoting the human rights of intersex and transgender athletes.
“There’ll be broad high-level guidelines -- more like a framework," said Budgett. "It’s the international federations who will determine the specific rules for their sports and their events. The particular changes from 2015 are the emphasis on the priority of inclusion, and on the avoidance of harm, but always bearing in mind the importance of fair and meaningful competition."
Pentagon Can't Camouflage True Vaccine Agenda
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"Woke, broke, or both?" It's a question the U.S. military can't avoid these days. Trapped in a sinkhole of Left-wing radicalism, our troops are so busy fighting climate change, white supremacy, conservative "extremism," and COVID to deal with America's real enemies. Now, as if the embarrassment of Afghanistan, a feeble commander-in-chief, and their top brass's betrayals weren't enough, the president says he's ready to fire anyone who won't get the vaccine.
It doesn't matter whether they have natural immunity or not, Fox News's Tucker Carlson pointed out. Or whether they have deeply-held moral or religious objections. This is about power. "The point was to bow before his authority and the authority of the Democratic Party. No excuses or exceptions." What's the scientific justification, he asks? "Well, of course, there isn't any. The fighting strength of the military is young, healthy people, virtually all of them at extremely low risk of dying from COVID." Believe it or not, he argues, three times as many troops have died of suicide over the last year and a half than the virus.
Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk Tina Peters and Grassroots Activist Sherronna Bishop Claim Election Records are Being Destroyed
- By Truth & Liberty Coalition
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. -- Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk Tina Peters and grassroots activist Sherronna Bishop shared an explosive revelation on the Monday, Sept. 20, episode of the Truth & Liberty Coalition livecast, regarding the destruction of important voting records.
Peters stated that Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and Dominion Voting Systems personnel deleted tens of thousands of files from the county's vote tabulation machine.
Peters and Bishop contend the destruction of records is a violation of laws requiring officials to maintain election records for 22 months under federal law and 25 months under state law. Griswold announced, just months after the disputed 2020 election, that her office would be doing a "software update" on all the voting machines in the state. Peters said that many people in her county had been approaching her with concerns about irregularities in the 2020 election.
California's New Abortion Protest Law - What Does It Do?
- By Life Legal Defense Foundation
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law that creates new crimes for intentionally electronically recording clients and/or staff within 100 feet of the entrance of an abortion clinic with the specific intent of intimidating them from going into the clinic.
This new law, which is an expansion of California's "Freedom of Access to Clinic and Church Entrances" (FACE) Act, has many pro-lifers concerned that they will no longer be allowed to record activities outside abortion mills. We have received numerous inquiries that contain inaccurate information about the law.
The Hunter Biden Cover-Up Is a Scandal
- By David Harsanyi
The Hunter Biden email cover-up may not be the most contemptible example of the modern political media's corruption, but it is probably the most demonstrable.
Politico reports that Ben Schreckinger's new book, "The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power," corroborates much of the New York Post's pre-election reporting on Hunter Biden's emails. Two of them stick out: The first is a 2015 missive from a Ukrainian businessman thanking Hunter for the chance to meet Joe Biden -- then, still vice president. The second is a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives included the line, "10 held by H for the big guy?"
The Coming Climate Crisis Shakedown in Scotland
- By Pat Buchanan
"Follow the money!"
The old maxim is always sound advice when assessing the motives of those advancing bold agendas for the benefit of mankind.
Invariably, the newest progressive idea entails a transfer of wealth from the taxpaying classes of Western nations to our transnational, global and Third World elites.
For the masters of the universe, establishing justice and equality for the world's poor are rewarding exercises in every sense of the word.
Biden Begins Mass Deportation
- By Eagle Forum
After 8 months of the Biden administration, the crisis at the border still remains. The President and Vice President’s silence on this matter speaks volumes about their carelessness. Not only have they made conservatives mad by reversing Trump-era border security measures, but they are making the left mad by not providing mass amnesty to illegal immigrants. The do-nothing White House isn’t boding well on this matter.
President Biden started off his tenure in office by championing the left’s agenda by reversing ten immigration orders issued by President Trump and added two of his own. This significantly weakened border security and incentivized immigrants to flood the United States’ borders. Then, the number of children coming into the U.S., many unaccompanied, came to light. Thousands were being held in cramped shelters without basic necessities, something that the Trump administration was condemned for doing.
Slaughter at Cainhoy, The Worst Racial Violence in the South Carolina Lowcountry During Reconstruction, Part One
- By Gene Kizer, Jr., Charleston Athenaeum Press
The Worst Racial Violence in the South Carolina Lowcountry During Reconstruction
During the presidential campaign of 1876, a political meeting took place at beautiful Brick Church near Cainhoy, South Carolina, Monday, October 16, 1876. It ended shortly after it started when Republican blacks savagely attacked the mostly white Democrats and shot, beat, hacked, mutilated and robbed them, killing five white men out of the group and severely wounding several others. An eyewitness, confirming the brutality of the attack, stated:
. . . Mr. Whitaker met with a worse fate, for he was brought in alive, suffering fearfully from buckshot through his stomach, and huge hacks of flesh taken out of him by an axe or hatchet. . . .
Daly (18 years old) was also left on the ground when wounded. His head was hacked in five places when found.
Poor Walter Gradick, a mere boy, had his eye gouged out, and was cruelly beaten and wounded. . . .1
All the victims had been stripped of their clothing and robbed.
Legislative Delegations Control State Grants Totaling Millions for Local Rec Projects
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Since 2017, powerful county legislative delegations have approved a total of more than $8 million in state grants for hundreds of local recreation projects in South Carolina, records show.
And as of mid-July, the delegations, made up of state House and Senate members representing a county, collectively had $5 million more available for future grant projects.
State law requires that each grant application be approved by a majority of the delegation representing the local government agency or special purpose district applying for the money. The S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (PRT) must annually notify delegations of the available revenue in their respective counties’ Parks and Recreation Development (PARD) Fund, and provide a list of eligible government entities in their counties, as determined by PRT.
Afghanistan: 'Christian Taliban' Ask to 'Meet Jesus'
- By Christian Newswire
In Afghanistan, children watching SAT-7's live TV shows ask: 'Is Jesus in the studio?'
EASTON, Md. -- Despite the threat of persecution, Afghans are turning to Christianity in growing numbers -- and creating a wave of "Christian Taliban," a ministry to Afghanistan reports.
"The word 'Taliban' actually means 'student,'" said Dr. Rex Rogers, president of Christian media ministry SAT-7 USA (www.sat7usa.org), "and right now increasing numbers of Afghans are becoming 'Taliban of Jesus' -- that is, students of Christ."
The ministry's Christian satellite television and online programs -- presented round-the-clock by Middle East Christians speaking the local Farsi and Dari languages -- reach every part of the nation, including remote mountain villages where people have never met a Christian in person.
When a Man Drafts a Woman
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When the Biden administration unveiled its new maternity flight suits this spring, a lot of people were incredulous. Why would the military waste its time on something so unnecessary? But now, with Democrats about to force women to register for the draft, it's clear: we're going to need a lot more of them.
According to Biden's party, forcing women into combat is the only path to "pure equality." Of course, the idea of parity probably sounds great until you're putting your only daughter on a bus to boot camp. That's the uncomfortable reality facing a lot of parents as the House debates the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) this week. Thanks to Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and a handful of Republicans, America is on the brink of a fundamental departure from the Western worldview by asking women to fight its wars.
The Manufactured Border Crisis
- By Michelle Malkin
In nearly 30 years of covering America's corrupted immigration and entrance policies, I can tell you definitively that every "border crisis" is a manufactured crisis. Caravans of Latin American illegal immigrants don't just form out of nowhere. Throngs of Middle Eastern refugees don't just amass spontaneously. Boatloads of Haitians don't just wash up on our shores by random circumstance.
All the world's a stage, and as I exposed in my most recent book, "Open Borders, Inc.," the world's migrants are nothing more than expedient tools to globalist elites, profit-maximizing corporations, self-aggrandizing religious and nonprofit groups, and criminal smuggling syndicates.

Avi Yemini reporting from Melbourne, Australia in September 2021

At a private event in Texas this weekend, Katie Hopkins told an audience that Australia is the “darkest place on earth right now.”
At UTT, we tend to agree.
Those who follow the goings on in Australia, as well as people like Avi Yemini of Rebel News know the tyranny and blatant evil that is being imposed on the people of Australia by their government.
Citizens must be in their homes by 9 pm, never more than 5 kilometers from home, and always wearing a mask or risk arrest.

Clarence Thomas and the Declaration of Independence

Last week, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas arrived at the University of Notre Dame to speak about the Declaration of Independence.
Speaking invitations like this that Thomas accepts are few and far between.
Anyone who cares about our country and listens to this address will wish that he would agree to speak more.
His presentation was a brilliant and profound articulation of what America is about at its core.
