Every once in a while, the Biden administration likes to pretend that it's listening to reason. Don't buy it. That's the message from conservatives, who are trying to keep parents from falling for the White House's line that it's backing away from critical race theory in the classroom. That's the impression Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was going for when he said that the department made an "error" promoting a radical group's CRT theories. Some people cheered, thinking the White House had finally seen the light. But if it sounds too good to be true, experts warn, that's because it is.

House Member Quit Suddenly Last Year; Now a Judicial Candidate. Coincidence?
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
What a difference a year can make – especially if you’re a state lawmaker.
In unexpectedly resigning his longtime House seat last July after winning the Republican primary, Alan Clemmons, a Myrtle Beach attorney, said in an affidavit to the State Election Commission that he was withdrawing from the general election because he was representing new legal clients who will “require a large investment of my time and focus.”
Clemmons, who was first elected to the House in 2002, officially resigned his House seat on July 17, 2020. As of last Wednesday – slightly more than a year later – he became a candidate for the Horry County master-in-equity judge’s seat, state Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC) records show.
New Mask Guidelines are about Politics and Control
- By Tucker Carlson - Fox News
No one is fighting for the rights of those who don't want the vaccine
Strong regimes are a lot like strong people. They’re self-confident. Because they are, they’re rational and moderate. They can afford to be those things. They have unquestioned legitimacy. Admitting honest mistakes doesn’t threaten them. Why would it? They can tell the truth without fear. Strong regimes are marked by cheerfulness and an open-minded spirit. You know them when you see them. They’re easy to recognize.
Weakness has the opposite effect. Weak leaders live in terror. They lie constantly. They admit nothing. They rule by force because they have no choice. They have lost their legitimacy. When they begin to lose control, as they inevitably do, they panic. Unable to acknowledge the magnitude of their failure, they retreat into delusion. Their behavior becomes irrational. They start to issue bizarre commands.
BJU Recognized by The American Prize
- By Randy Page - BJU
Bob Jones University won second place in The American Prize in Arts Education, 2021, the country’s most comprehensive contest for the classical arts. The prize was awarded based on a recording of William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” which was performed in 2018.
Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio, and the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival in held Waimea, Hawaii, placed first and third respectively.
According to the organization, “The American Prize in Arts Education recognizes and rewards the best education campaigns by performing arts organizations in America, based on submitted applications. The contest seeks evidence of campaigns that combine inspiration and creativity with demonstrable success, regardless of the budget available.”
COVID-19, Catholics and Illegal Alien Charities
- By Michelle Malkin
It seems there's no sanctuary from draconian mask and vaccine mandates. You can't get on a plane, go to school, work at a hospital, perform onstage, compete in sports, exercise at a gym, worship in church or walk outside without the long shadows of Big Pharma and the COVID-19 control freaks looming over every aspect of your lives. Every breath, every movement, every tweet, every Facebook post, every Instagram meme is being monitored for compliance.
There is one escape hatch, however. If you're an illegal alien, congratulations! Privileged border trespassers have been handed special "Get out of COVID Tyranny" cards, while the Biden administration is poised to send vaccine squads door to door to harass law-abiding citizens. Immigration rules don't apply to illegals, and neither do the invasive pandemic rules imposed on our citizenry.
House Spending Bill Funds Abortion, Wokeness, and Pot
- By Eagle Forum
This week, the House is advancing a deeply partisan and radically liberal spending bill, H.R. 4502. Republicans correctly coined this bill as “Pelosi’s Bloatedbus!” H.R. 4502 appropriates funding for federal agencies under Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Agriculture, Rural Development, Energy and Water Development, Financial Services and General Government, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, and Housing.
Here are a few of the bill’s more radical top liners:
-
Removes various pro-life riders like the Hyde Amendment, the Weldon Amendment, and the Mexico City Policy (just to name a few).
Ben & Jerry's Takes Liberal Distortions Global
- By Star Parker
Ben & Jerry's, noted for its ice cream made from "contented cows," has produced not such contented consumers in many circles following its announcement to stop selling its ice cream in Israel's West Bank and in East Jerusalem.
Although the announcement calls these areas "occupied territories," more accurate would be to describe their status as "disputed" territories regarding Israel's sovereignty.
These are areas captured by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967.
Why the Left Can't Let Go of Jan. 6
- By Pat Buchanan
To understand what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's select committee investigation of the Capitol Hill events of Jan. 6 is all about, a good place to begin is with the sentencing hearing last week of Paul Hodgkins.
A crane operator from Tampa, Florida, Hodgkins, 38, pleaded guilty to a single count of obstructing a joint session of Congress called to confirm Joe Biden as the next president.
Hodgkins entered the Senate chamber carrying a Trump 2020 flag. He committed no assault, no act of destruction, no act of violence. Yet, he was sentenced to eight months in prison by U.S. Judge Randolph Moss.

The "Pledge of Allegiance"
- By Red Skelton
The following words were spoken by the late Red Skelton on his television program as he related the story of his teacher. Mr. Laswell felt his students had come to think of the Pledge of Allegiance as merely something to recite in class each day. So, one morning he told them, “I’ve been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?”
CRT Transformation of the American Military
- By Mike Scruggs
Neo-Marxist Subversion and its Washington Allies
The greatest threat to American security is not China, Russia, or Iran. It is the Critical Race Theory (CRT) transformation of our military. CRT is also our greatest threat to freedom.According to U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, during the first month he was assigned as commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at a Colorado Air Force and Space base in July 2020, he was asked by base leadership to watch two videos in preparation for training and discussion on race and inclusion. This was in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd and rioting, looting, and burning in Minneapolis. Trained facilitators would mediate discussion sessions for base personnel.
The first video portrayed American history as 400 years of racist white supremacy beginning in 1619. The film taught that the U.S. Constitution codified a racist social order that intended to keep whites in power and subjugate and oppress blacks and that this racist foundation remained strong. The video narrator claimed that upon ratification of the Constitution, “white supremacy” was now the “official policy of the United States of America.” It also made reference to then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel and asserted that because the mentality of white supremacy has become engrained in our nation’s psyche, he and others like him, do not want blacks to “get to far.” The narrator stated that the racism of these white people is true whether they recognize it or not, and they cannot help it.
Pelosi: On the Riot Side of History
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When House Democrats started clamoring for their own January 6 commission, it was never about the facts. But the last person anyone expected to admit that is Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). But this week, the California leader showed her cards when she booted two of the five Republicans off the roster because she was terrified they'd ask some hard questions. And hard questions, we all know, is not what this probe is about. Political theater is.
When House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) submitted his five names for the supposedly bipartisan investigation, Pelosi knew that Reps. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wouldn't let her party get away with the pack of lies they've been trying to sell about that day for seven months -- namely that Republicans and their supporters were responsible for the tragedy at the Capitol. So, she made up some lame excuse that Democrats needed to protect the "integrity of the investigation" and rejected the two conservatives. Seething, McCarthy fired back that if that's the way Pelosi wants to play it, then she can go ahead with their "bipartisan" committee without them. "Unless Speaker Pelosi reverses course and seats all five Republican nominees, Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts."
“A Republic” – Which We Don’t Appear to Want to Keep! Part 1
- By W.H. Lamb
(I’m indebted to one of my long-time heroes, John F. McManus, patriot extraordinaire and the long time President, now President Emeritus, of The John Birch Society, for the inspiration for this article, and I quote freely from his article titled: “A Republic, If You Can Keep It”, published January 18, 2021 in the best and most informative bi-weekly news magazine in this nation—The New American magazine. (Subscriptions available at JBS. Org., or free with membership in the John Birch Society).
Fisher Ames (1758-1808) served his new nation as a member of the House of Representatives from Massachusetts for the entire eight years that George Washington served as our first President (1789-1797). Ames, a dedicated patriot, had some cogent—and accurate—observations about “democracy” that need to be dredged from the darkness of liberal mendacity and the perfidy of putrid politicians and mediocre “talking heads” who love to mindlessly prattle about the “glories of our democracy”. For example, consider the following observations that Fisher Ames left for posterity:
Lawmakers to Spend Millions on Incumbency-Protection Maps
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. House and Senate plan to spend millions creating new legislative and congressional district maps based on the latest U.S. Census – a convoluted process that lawmakers undertake every 10 years.
Historically, the “reapportionment” or “redistricting” process has been aimed at keeping incumbent legislators in office, though it’s not the official line from politicians.
“I look forward to our working together on a redistricting process that is fair and equitable to all South Carolinians,” longtime Sen. Luke Rankin, R-Horry, who is the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, said in a press release last week in announcing the members of a redistricting subcommittee chaired by him.
NGU Trustees Praise Leadership for Successful School Year, Approve 2021 Budget
- By LaVerne Howell - NGU
Members of the North Greenville University (NGU) Board of Trustees, Board Chair Mike Hamlet, and committee chairs praised the leadership, faculty, staff, and students for successfully navigating a unique year at their June meeting.
"It has certainly been a challenging year, but our leadership has done a tremendous job in helping us move forward," said Hamlet.
Board members gathered in the Craft-Hemphill building to meet, enjoy fellowship, and experience the new updates made to the interior spaces.
The Craft-Hemphill Center for Apologetics and Christian Worldview, completed in August 2011, provides the University with a "training and sending hub" for students working in global leadership roles. The Center offers resources to help students on and off campus express a comprehensive Christian worldview. The Center includes nine offices, four classrooms, three resource rooms, a conference room, and the multi-purpose Mission Control Auditorium.
“Critical Race Theory” is Racist Trash!
- By W.H. Lamb
Members and guests of U.S. Parents Involved in Education, and The John Birch Society, held a rousing and spirited meeting last Thursday evening, July 22, 2021 at ZEN, in downtown Greenville. After we all enjoyed some great “finger foods”, the large crowd listened attentively, with much applause, to two fascinating speakers:
- Carol Swain, Ph.D.
- Duke Pesta, Ph.D.
Both speakers focused on the anti-American and virulently RACIST false ‘disinformation’ called ‘CRITICAL RACE THEORY’ that is being taught in many U.S. school districts. I quote from the literature given to us at the meeting by the sponsors.
Senate Committee Votes in Favor of Women In Military Draft
- By Eagle Forum
The Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations process is in shambles. Quite frankly, it’s threatening the well-being of American women.
Yesterday, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) voted to include women into the Military Selective Service via the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). If this bill is signed into law, women, like men, between the ages of 18-25 will be required by law to register for the draft.
SALTY SEZ - A False Gospel
- By Ray Simmons
I look around and I see so many things going on that I find hard to understand. Many people I know and see often seem to be looking at the world differently. It looks to me as if they fail to understand the deep trouble bearing down upon our nation. And they seem to prefer not to talk about it. On line I find many pastors discussing these things but apparently most people are content to limit their exposure to their local pastors, many of whom will not bring up controversial issues. I don’t hear many people mentioning this Critical Race Theory (CRT) that is invading our schools, other institutions and even many of our churches. One might mention it and get a “What’s that?” I personally haven’t really been following it as I should, but the other week I heard an on-line sermon* that spelled it out clearly as a False Gospel the enemy is seeking to insert into Christian churches, and succeeding in many of them.
A Visitor from the Past
- By Author Unknown
I had a dream the other night I didn’t understand. A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand. His clothes torn and dirty, as he stood there by the bed. He took off his three-corned hat and speaking low, he said.
“We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty.
We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny.
For future generations, this legacy we gave,
In this land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Biden's Baleful Border Betrayal
- By David Limbaugh
Is there anything the left won't blame on their fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don't bet on it. Their latest dodge is blaming the border crisis, which they created, on the climate crisis, which they invented.
A Politico article is headlined, "It's Not a Border Crisis. It's a Climate Crisis." That's a convenient twofer. Never let an opportunity to blame a crisis on climate change go to waste. Well played.
But to the left, I guess the border catastrophe isn't a crisis. How could you support open borders and think that the invasion by invitation is a crisis? How could America-resenting leftists regard the influx of millions of new Democrat voters a crisis? It would be like the Democrats being apoplectic over federal spending. Nope. Not gonna happen. If only these migrants knew that leftist policies are on the way to turning this country into a socialist state -- you know, the kind they're escaping from.
House Committee Removes Long-Standing Pro-Life Riders from Gov Spending Bill
- By Eagle Forum
Back in January of this year, we warned you that the defense of life was on the line! Sadly, our premonitions are coming true, and Democrats in Congress are using their majority to remove any pro-life legislative mechanisms that hinder their anti-life agenda! This includes the Hyde Amendment, a provision in appropriations that prevents tax-payer monies from being used to fund abortion.
At a Congressional hearing in December 2020, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said of the long-standing and bipartisan Hyde amendment:
JFK -- Accept Our Diverse World as It Is
- By Pat Buchanan
Seven months after the Cuban missile crisis, President John F. Kennedy, at American University, laid out his view on how the East-West struggle should be conducted to avoid a catastrophic war that could destroy us both.
Kennedy's message to Moscow and his fellow Americans:
"If (the United States and the Soviet Union) cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity."
As George Beebe writes in his essay, "It's a Big World: The Importance of Diversity in American Foreign Policy," in the July National Interest, Kennedy later elaborated:
Free Cuba Now! -- Campaign Kicks Off in Florida
- By Christian Newswire
The Cuban people have a dream: Freedom from communist oppression. Although their cry for freedom has been brutally suppressed, Americans hear their voices. Answering the plea of the Cuban people, The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) just launched a new campaign, Free Cuba Now!
"If you love true freedom, please support the Cuban people in their noble fight to shake off the yoke of communism," said TFP vice-president, John Horvat II. "Our team was in St. Augustine today collecting petitions on the streets for Cuba's freedom. The petition urges President Biden to help Cuba get rid of communism."
There is No Functioning First Amendment at the U.S. Capitol, as Speaker Pelosi Continues to Prohibit Free Speech on the Capitol Grounds
- By Christian Defense Coalition
Although the fence has come down around the Capitol building, and citizens are allowed back on the grounds, the entire area located inside the fence's perimeter is still restricted and individuals and groups applying for permits to hold peaceful First Amendment activities are being denied.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney was told by the U.S. Capitol Police this week that no permit applications to hold peaceful First Amendment activities were being processed by the U.S. Capitol Police Board even though the grounds are now open to the general public.
Rev. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, has applied for permits to hold several free speech events at the Capitol over the next several weeks and was told his permits were not being processed.

U.S. Federal Women Prisoners Sue to Remove Transgender Women Out of the Prison
- By Christian Newswire
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Two women in a United States federal prison are suing to have biological male prisoners removed from the women's federal prisons. The women prisoners, Rhonda Fleming and Katoria Greene, are alleging various constitutional rights are being violated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Both women, who identify as Christian, black conservatives, are alleging that their bodily privacy rights are being violated because they must shower and use other intimate facilities with biological males, many of whom are openly bisexual. The women state their right to free exercise of religion is being violated because they cannot practice a tenet or principle of their faith, modesty, with male prisoners living with them, 24 hours a day, within 2 or 3 feet, when women are changing their clothing or showering. Many of the women fear for their safety.
The Boards and the Bees
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
The nation's eyes are on critical race theory, but just as critical is what's happening with sex ed. While parents everywhere rise up over the flood of woke curriculum, they're also getting a good look behind the curtain at what their children are hearing about sex. And it's just as shocking -- if not worse. It's so graphic, one Minnesota state representative told a reporter, that her colleagues didn't even want to look at the examples on the House floor. "We couldn't show this on the 10 [o'clock] news," she said, but "we want our fourth-grade children to be looking at it?"
BJU Cinema Students Wins Awards at National Film Competition
- By Randy Page - BJU
Bob Jones University cinema students were recently recognized by the Intercollegiate National Religious Broadcasters (iNRB) 2021 in a virtual award ceremony. This is the seventh time BJU students have entered the competition. They have won awards in the film category every year. This year, they swept the film category.
NRB presents awards to undergraduate or graduate student iNRB members for outstanding examples of radio, television, and film productions. The annual convention allows students to network with professionals in their fields and participate in workshops related to Christian media.
Return of the Fleebagger Democrats
- By Michelle Malkin
They're baaaack.
Cut-and-run Democrats are making headlines this month for bailing on their state legislative duties in order to sabotage election integrity efforts in Texas. After jetting off on a private plane to Washington, D.C., in hopes of meeting with President Joe Biden last week, six of the high-flying fugitives came down with COVID-19. On Monday, aides to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House who had hosted the runaways also tested positive for COVID-19. Every one of them claims to have been fully vaccinated.
