China’s Invasion Barges Signal Potential Invasion of Taiwan
- Details
- By Emmitt Barry - Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – China is reportedly building “D-Day style” landing barges specifically designed to deploy People’s Liberation Army (PLA) vehicles onto Taiwanese beaches, suggesting preparations for a potential full-scale invasion, according to the UK Telegraph.
Naval News reported that up to five landing barges are under construction at Guangzhou Shipyard in southern China. Resembling the Mulberry Harbours from the World War II Normandy invasion, these barges feature novel designs and rapid construction. Although a smaller prototype surfaced in 2022, the current batch has only recently appeared.
Since 2022, China has developed landing barges that can be built in months, providing a key capability to connect nearly any ship to the shore.
From Tariffs to Territory: Trump’s Expansionist American Vision
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand

Over the past month, President-elect Donald Trump has proposed annexing Greenland, admitting Canada to the American union, and reassuming control of the Panama Canal. To some, these proposals are jarring or confusing, and the left-wing media is only too happy to frame Trump — per usual — as a power-hungry, wannabe dictator. To find the truth, we must dig deeper.
Threats
When Donald Trump takes the oath of office on January 20, he will inherit a more dangerous world than he did in 2017. Not only are America’s adversaries more aggressive, but President Joe Biden has retreated from many of Trump’s foreign policy successes, leaving America weaker on the world stage.
Elijah, Ahab, and Jezebel

May the Powerful Take the Land of the Weak?

Elijah was one of the greatest prophets in Judeo-Christian Scripture. He arrived in Biblical history during the reign of Ahab (874-853 BC) over the northern Kingdom of Israel, which had split from the Kingdom of Judah after the death of Solomon in 930 BC. Ahab, whose capital was in Samaria, was the seventh king of Israel and is described in 1 Kings 16: 30-33 as being by far the most wicked and ungodly of the seven.
“Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him.He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.”
CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM — PART 17

“Word soon spread up and down the river that Andria village had actually attacked an Enforcer installation and had killed all 98 of the enemy in it. We all knew that this bold action would put Andria on the Overmasters’ short ‘kill list’, for they were well known for the retribution they always practiced on individuals, clans, or in this case an entire village—who dared to defy them. Two days later the Lees met with the entire village, men, women, older teens, to discuss our possibilities and course of action. Some families were so terrified of Enforcer revenge that they loaded what they could on their horse carts and left Andria quickly. A few families decided to retreat deep into the forest in hopes of hiding from the Enforcers for an extended time. But most of us, numbering about 700 people, decided by open vote to stay and fight our enemies, even though we knew there was little chance that we could continue to resist them for long.

On January 20th, at 12 noon, Sunrise in America shall appear. It has been four very long, very disastrous and very costly years we have come through. By God's Grace, America is given another chance to return to the principles which founded this exceptional nation. We have never been a perfect nation, not even from our inception. But we have been an exceptional nation given our founding doctrines and principles by our founders were given to them by God, and those Judeo-Christian principles are written for all to see in our founding doctrines. Our Declaration of Independence, in large measure, was taken from the Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy in the Bible.
Conclusions on Atavisms as Evidence for Universal Common Descent
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists claim what is called atavism as evidence for universal common descent. However, the designation often presupposes universal common descent. For example, in our investigation of it, see previous articles, we have seen several cases where these features are more likely than not simply birth defects or genetic defects. Furthermore, in cases where they may actually qualify as atavisms only qualify as evidence for universal common descent if it is assumed.

Justice for Laken Riley

Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student when she was murdered while jogging on campus at the University of Georgia by José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal Venezuelan immigrant. Despite being apprehended while illegally entering the U.S., Ibarra was released into our nation. Ms. Riley’s murder wasn’t his first — or even his second — offense, though.
In three months, he was arrested for violence toward a minor, shoplifting, driving under the influence, driving without a license, and failure to appear in court. The murder occurred just two months after these various arrests.
Victory for Women and Girls as Court Erases Radical Title IX Rewrite
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
A federal court put the final nail in the coffin of the Biden Administration’s attempt to radically redefine “sex” on January 9, 2025, when it struck down the Title IX regulations proposed by the outgoing Department of Education.
“This is a clear victory for students, parents, teachers, and the First Amendment,” said Eagle Forum President Kris Ullman. “We are grateful that the Court recognized that by redefining ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity,’ the Biden Administration had overstepped its authority and gutted the original meaning of the statute. Now all schools must return protections to women and girls in athletics and academics. Students and teachers will no longer face discrimination charges for the fake crime of ‘using the wrong pronouns.’ Our daughters can once again be guaranteed privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. Parents no longer can be told that federal law prevents them from knowing if schools are secretly fostering their children’s ‘transition.’”

House Joint Resolution 3395 (H.3395) is sponsored by Representative Steven Long (R-Spartanburg) and three other representatives. If enacted, it would rescind every live, or extant, application by the General Assembly for an Article V constitutional convention. H.3395 declares:
McDonald’s Walks Away from Super-Sized Wokeness

The calendar may have changed, but 2025 is picking up right where last year left off in the battle against corporate wokeness. In the biggest shocker since Walmart, fast-food icon McDonald’s announced that after years of force-feeding DEI to shareholders and customers, political neutrality is back on the menu.
For activists, the news is even more astonishing since the Golden Arches had a perfect 100% score on LGBT activism from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) just last year. But, like so many boardrooms before it, McDonald’s decided to surrender before Robby Starbuck even declared war. In a letter made public Monday, the hamburger chain announced to their owner/operators, employees, and suppliers that this new year meant turning a new leaf on diversity. Although they declare their steadfast commitment to “inclusion,” Chairman and CEO Chris Kempczinski, along with McDonald’s top leaders, spent the final half of the letter explaining that they’ve identified practices that they intend to “modify,” including:

Israel Will Insure Hezbollah Will Not Rebuild in Lebanon

(Worthy News) – Israel is committed to preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding in Lebanon and has stated that the Israel Defense Forces will remain in place until Hezbollah is fully dismantled, according to Brig.-Gen. Amir Avivi, founder and chairman of HaBithonistim.
Brig.-Gen. Amir Avivi emphasized that Israel is relying solely on itself to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding in Lebanon, stating, “Israel is not counting on anybody; Israel is counting on Israel.”
Speaking to ILTV, he explained that while efforts such as deploying the Lebanese army or dismantling Hezbollah positions would be welcomed, they are considered a bonus rather than a necessity.

We were amazed by the turnout that first year, and we have grown ever since. Now we fill Civic Center Plaza and the Walk extends for more than a mile of wall-to-wall people as we walk down Market Street!”
Lame-Duck Biden Admin Fails to Take 2024 Election to Heart
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand

On Monday, President Joe Biden banned all new oil and gas drilling in all federal waters — approximately 625 million acres. Due to the terms of the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, President-elect Donald Trump may not be able to administratively reverse the decision, without congressional action. Alongside Biden’s last-minute drilling bans on federal lands in Alaska and Nevada, this move is designed to severely restrict Trump’s ability to kickstart the American economy with an invigorating shot of cheap, domestically produced energy.
Robert E. Lee — A Noble Legacy under Attack

Defamation of a Gallant Soldier, Selfless Patriot, and True Christian

January 19 will mark the 218th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee in 1807, one of the most respected and revered military leaders in American history. That respect and reverence extends over most of the world, wherever military leadership is studied. Robert E. Lee’s birthday was once celebrated as an official holiday in most Southern states.
The number of holidays or commemorative days for Robert E. Lee has dropped considerably, however, in the last two decades. Only four states now commemorate Lee as an official holiday or observance: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Alabama and Mississippi celebrate a combined Lee and Martin Luther King holiday, and Arkansas now has only a commemorative day, but these and others have become largely invisible in politics and the media.

(I’m indebted to the book, What If America Were a Christian Nation Again?, written by my hero of the Christian Faith, the late Rev. D. James Kennedy, with Jerry Newcombe, published in 2003 by Thomas Nelson Publishers in Nashville, Tennessee, for some of the inspiration for this article, and I quote somewhat freely from it. Most of the words are mine, some are from Dr. Kennedy. The original admonitions are from the One who made all things, including THE UNBORN CHILD in its mother’s womb, come to be, and is the One who looks at his created children, points His finger at them—at US—and says SHAME—SHAME ON YOU! I cringe even as I write this, for how long will THE CREATOR withhold His justice from America?)

Why America Is in So Much Trouble

Shortly before Milton Friedman's death in 2006, I had the privilege of interviewing him over dinner in San Francisco. The last question I asked him was: What are the three things we have to do to make America more prosperous?
His answer I have never forgotten: "First, allow universal school choice; second, expand free trade; third and most importantly, cut government spending." That was long before Barack Obama and Joe Biden came along.
There aren't too many problems in America that can't be traced back to the growth of big and incompetent government.

SPARTANBURG: No. 11 U.S. Growth City of 2024
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Spartanburg is the No. 11 U.S. Growth City of 2024, according to the U-Haul Growth Index analyzing one-way customer moves over the past year.
Of all the U-Haul traffic to come and go from Spartanburg last year, 52.5% was incoming and 47.5% outgoing.
Looking at year-over-year variations, arrivals were down 3% in 2024 (compared to 2023) while departures were down nearly 10%. With more residents staying, Spartanburg posted a larger net gain of U-Haul customers.
In addition to its annual top 25 growth cities list, U-Haul recognized its top 25 growth metropolitan areas for the first time. The top growth cities (city propers) are from markets outside the leading metros, allowing more communities to be recognized for their ability to attract and retain do-it-yourself movers.

Just two days into the new year, and America is already facing a series of dire circumstances. Around 3:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day, New Orleans was hit with what many believe is a terrorist attack after a man rammed through a crowd in a truck bearing an ISIS flag. He killed multiple people and injured dozens of others. However, later that same day, a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas exploded in what appears to be another alleged terror strike. The only person killed was the man inside the vehicle at the time of the explosion. However, at least seven people were injured.

Conservatives Leave 2024 With a Long List of Wins

The times are a-changing! We have a lot to celebrate as we begin 2025. After four tough years of the Biden administration, the American people came out in droves and voted for a more conservative agenda. All across the country, Americans rejected the extremist ideology of the Democrats in favor of common-sense policies. The incoming Trump administration working with Republican majorities in both the House of Representatives and Senate will provide a real opportunity to repair the damage that the Left has inflicted on every sector of the government. But we did not lose every battle in 2024 — let’s look at some of our hard-fought wins over the last year.
