Tucker Carlson and the Struggle for Civilizational Sanity
- By Josh Hammer
Last Friday, I attended The Heritage Foundation's 50th Anniversary Gala, a sprawling and swanky affair featuring many fine presentations, a surprise Dierks Bentley mini-concert for the country music enthusiasts (yours truly among them) and an extravagant post-dinner fireworks show over the Potomac River. But the highlight of the evening, bar none, was former Fox News star Tucker Carlson's electric keynote address and his (all-too-brief) colloquy on stage afterward with Heritage's exceptional new president, Kevin Roberts.
Biden Sleeps Tight While Nation Drowns in Debt
- By Star Parker
Hillary Clinton writes in The New York Times that Republican insistence to link any increase in the nation's debt ceiling to spending control and cuts threatens our national security.
"It's a sad irony that Mr. McCarthy and many of the same congressional Republicans seemingly intent on sabotaging America's global leadership by refusing to pay our debts are also positioning themselves as tougher-than-thou China hawks."

Christian Society and the Failure of Capitalism and Communism
- By Winston McCuen
The great error underlying all modern social and economic thought and practice is the assumption that capitalism and communism, as supposed opposites, are the only options.
Since the appearance of Adam Smith's Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) and of the Communist Manifesto (1848) of Marx and Engels, humanity has been locked in a false dichotomy of thought and practice -- wrongly viewing capitalism and communism as thesis and antithesis, and as mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive theoretical and policy options. The truth, however, is that these two doctrines -- at the most fundamental level -- are kindred creeds that, for kindred reasons, operate in ways contrary both to human flourishing and to Divine favor.

Real Patriots Cut Taxes, Not Raise Them
- By Stephen Moore
On Tax Day this year, about a dozen left-wing millionaires joined with some of the most liberal Democrats in Congress for a Washington, D.C., press conference. The luminaries included Abigail Disney, Walt Disney's granddaughter, and former BlackRock whiz kid Morris Pearl.
The group argued that it wants to pay more taxes and urged new tax laws with a tax rate as high as 90% for the super-rich due to concerns, it said, about having too much money, which evidently contributes to income inequality.
Get US Out! of the UN: Urge Congress to Reintroduce and Pass the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (ASRA)
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT; ACT NOW: The American Sovereignty Restoration Act (ASRA) still hasn’t been reintroduced in the current, 118th Congress. It is essential that Congress reintroduces and enacts this important bill — the UN’s very purpose is to establish a one-world government at the expense of its members’ sovereignty, and it continues to push for ultra-globalist policies.
Furthermore, the Biden administration has pledged fealty to the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and is pushing for “reforming” (i.e. strengthening) the UN. Contact your U.S. representative and senator, and urge them to reintroduce and support the ASRA!
‘Imagine’
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
In 1971, British rock musician and former Beatle John Lennon released what would become the most successful song of his solo career. “Imagine” is one of the most-performed songs of the 20th century, and Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number three in their list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” It’s been performed during the “Ball Drop” in New York’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve, it was played during the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics, and notably, has become an anthem of the secular humanist and atheist movement, championed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the ACLU.

Greenville Republicans Hold Convention
- By Terry M. Thacker
Nearly 900 Greenville County Republican activists turned out at the Greenville Convention Center this Monday night for their biannual convention.
The doors opened at 6:10 p.m. so that delegates would have time to register for the 7:00 p.m. convention, which didn't actually commence until after 7:30 because of the number of delegates who needed to be checked in.
WORD 98.9 radio host Charlie James served as moderator for the opening of the convention, after which he turned the microphone over to Mark Bonnoitt, political director of the state party. Earlier this year the state party took the unprecedented step of removing control of the reorganization and convention process from the local party leadership.

The Arctic National Security and Economic Front
- By Mike Scruggs
— a USAF Arctic Memory
— Cold War Conflict or High Latitude Prosperity?
I served as both an Air Force intelligence officer and a navigator for eight years spanning from 1961 to 1969. I saw combat flying an A-26/B-26 attack-bomber during 1966 and 1967 as an Air Commando (now called Air Force Special Operations Command). After recovering from combat injuries, I spent my last two years flying the HC-130, a four-engine turbo-prop, in the 41st Air Rescue Squadron, stationed on the San Francisco Bay. Besides rescue operations, our HC-130 aircraft were also equipped and manned for special operations.
In December 1968, I was part of an HC-130 crew deployed TDY (temporary duty) to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska, to support a high-altitude Air Force U-2 reconnaissance aircraft staging out of Fairbanks in the middle of Alaska. The Lockheed U-2 can operate at over 70,000-feet altitude for many hours, carrying a payload as high as 3,000 pounds. The U-2 has a wingspan of 104-feet, far exceeding its fuselage length of 63-feet. Nicknamed, “The Dragon Lady,” the U-2 had only a single seat and one pilot. It is reputed to be one of the hardest aircraft in the USAF inventory to learn to fly.
Would You Be A Martyr For Your Faith Or For Your Principles?
- By W.H. Lamb
Would we, or could we—be willing to martyr ourselves for our beliefs? For our religious or political principles that we hold sacred and/or inviolable? Ah, that is a question to ponder, isn’t it? The definition of “martyr” is: One who willingly endures extreme persecution, suffering, torment or death for a religious or a firm political belief. Obviously, history tells us of untold numbers of men and women who have done just that—who have stood firm for God or Country (orboth)—who wrapped themselves in “the full armor of God”, or in their own definitions of “political principles”, or perhaps in the flag of the country that they lived and died for, and who withstood the worst that the enemies of God and man, or their own personal enemies, could inflict upon them, even unto death! So once again I ask: Would we be willing to do likewise? Could we—you and I-- allow ourselves to be martyred? That’s a question with no easy answer, isn’t it?

Sam Manley Stands in the Way of a California Democrat
- By Press Release
GCRP Chairman Candidate Yvonne Julian Donated to Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democratic National Committee.
Sam Manley who is vying for Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) has just released a video that explains that his opponent and current 1st Vice Chairman Yvonne Julian has donated to Democrats and not Republicans while in California.
During her campaign for the GCRP Chairman position, Julian has many times referred to how she was disgusted with how her previous residences in California and Chicago were so liberal and how the woke ideologies were destroying those locations.
On several occasions, she told her audiences that she left California because of how the state was going down fast. She added that this was the reason why she left places like Chicago and California and moved to South Carolina.
The Current Greenville County Republican Establishment Says They Have No Interest in Unity
- By James Spurck, Publisher
As The Largest County in SC, Greenville has become the most ineffective Republican Body due to infighting.
Remember walking down a sidewalk and coming across a marching line of ants? Out of curiosity, you follow this intriguing line into the neighboring field of grass and find them cohesively fighting a much bigger enemy whom they eventually overcome. As you watch this natural drama unfold, you are amazed at how naturally unified the ants are. And despite how small these tiny little creatures are, they win more than twice their size due to their unifying numbers. They get things done.
We humans also understand this principle, or at least some of us do.

Top 3 Abortion Pill Myths Perpetuated by the Abortion Industry
- By Mary Szoch - The Washington Stand
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the chemical abortion drug, mifepristone, without adequately studying the drug’s safety, physicians from across the country filed a petition challenging the decision. For over 6,000 days, the FDA failed to answer. Following Dobbs, the FDA finally responded dismissing the doctors’ safety concerns, and so the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse FDA approval for mifepristone.

Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida and Ron DeSantis
- By Josh Hammer
The first round of the "Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company" fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes and waste treatment.
Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare rescinded, putting it on an equal playing field with every other corporation operating in the state of Florida.

Federal Court Reigns in Chemical Abortion Access
- By Eagle Forum
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, the left scrambled to push abortion access in every way possible. One method they have used to bypass restrictions on surgical abortion has been to increase distribution of the abortion pill. With the expansion of telehealth and prescriptions through the mail, the Biden administration has used this opportunity to deregulate chemical abortions. However, the federal courts appear to be taking a serious examination of these deadly abortifacients.
On the heels of the 2000 presidential election, the Clinton administration approved mifepristone and misoprostol to induce abortions in pregnant women up to seven weeks gestation. In order to expedite approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Clinton administration pressured the French manufacturer of mifepristone to donate all patent rights to the United States Population Council. Then, the FDA recategorized pregnancy as an “illness” while claiming these drugs would provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit” over all other treatments on the market. For over two decades, Democrat administrations have continued to loosen restrictions while ignoring the dangerous side effects.
