The Untold Story of Black Confederates
- By Mike Scruggs
Truth Suppressed Is Still the Truth
If you Google “Black Confederates,” you will know a lot about Google’s politics. It should also be obvious that there is a tremendous and undoubtedly well-funded effort to dismiss and ridicule the idea that anything more than a tiny minority of blacks would willingly resist and even take up arms against the Northern invasion of the South from 1861 to 1865. The most recent escalation of this demonization of the South and anyone connected to its resistance to Northern domination coincides with the emergence of Neo-Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) and woke identity politics, but it is also a continuation of propagandistic false historical narratives on the causes and conduct of the Civil War and postwar Reconstruction policies. This brand of identity politics garners votes by inciting racial tensions and promoting attitudes of militant hostility to win elections and advance political agendas. Suppression of important Civil War truths and the important role of Black Confederates in the war serve anti-American agendas.
Almost Forgotten Americans Who Really Were Heroes - Part 4
- By W.H. Lamb
In the first three parts of this series, we’ve been following the travails and the courage of a small band of Northern Cheyenne people, as they bravely decided to leave the harsh and soul-destroying conditions of the reservation in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) to which they had been forcibly relocated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Army, and begin a 1500 mile trek back to their homeland in the territories of Wyoming and Montana. Having fought several skirmishes and one major battle with the army, by the end of October, 1878, Chief Dull Knife had decided to separate from Chief Little Wolf and take about 150 of his people, who no longer wanted to try to evade the U.S. Army, and head for Fort Robinson in the northwestern corner of Nebraska, which had been established in 1874 as a base of operations against the Northern Cheyenne and the Lakota Sioux people, where they trusted that the military and the Indian Bureau would provide sufficient supplies to keep them alive.
Celebrating America's Birthday
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When was America born? Was it when Jamestown was settled in 1607? When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620? When the 13 colonies won the War of Independence from Great Britain in 1781? Today, revisionist historians and new progressive models claim that America was born when African slaves arrived in Virginia in 1619. While the American slave trade was tragic, immoral, and a grave human rights violation, it is inaccurate to say that the United States of America was founded on slavery.
Independence Day is the appropriate day to celebrate America's birthday because it was on this day that the final text of the Declaration of Independence, the document outlining our nation's ideals and aspirations, was approved by the Continental Congress (the actual signing would come a month later). Alarmingly, the historic belief about America's founding on July 4, 1776, is currently under assault by liberal elites, including those behind the 1619 Project.

- By Public Advocate
Permission Granted in Advance to Use Any Portion of This Posted Video Interview
ASHBURN, Va. -- Standing in front of the Loudoun County School Administration building in Loudoun County, Virginia, on Thursday July 1, Public Advocate President, Eugene Delgaudio, interviews two participants from the raucous June 22 Public Hearing that resulted in the arrest on trespassing charges for Jon Tigges.
Senator Dick Black is the dynamic speaker number 70 during the public testimony requested by the School Board and explains how he presented his case to the school board that they were operating outside the law and that they had been caught red handed by citizens in tracking them down and attacking them during two twenty minute segments.
EU to Orban: Back Gay Rights or Get Out!
- By Pat Buchanan
Respect LBGT rights or get out of the EU, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte instructed Hungary's Viktor Orban at last week's gathering of the European Union in Brussels.
According to Reuters, attendees described it as the "most intense personal clash among the bloc's leaders in years."
What caused the clash?
Hungary just passed a law that bans schools from using materials seen as pro-homosexuality. According to the AP, the new law "prohibits sharing content on homosexuality or sex reassignment to people under 18 in school sex education programs, films or advertisements."
On a Collision Course with National Disaster
- By David Limbaugh
If I were leading President Joe Biden's central committee and my goal were to destroy America as founded and ensure that it lose its distinction as the world's freest and most powerful nation, I doubt I could concoct a superior strategy than adopting the Biden administration's message and policy agenda.
The administration is creating total societal chaos, fomenting disorder and undermining the rule of law at every turn. As the first duty of government is to protect and defend its citizens, we might be alarmed to consider that the administration is engaged in a multipronged strategy to do the opposite. It is shrinking our military, which defends against foreign threats. It is at war with law enforcement, which ensures domestic tranquility, and it is destroying our southern border. It is systematically destroying our liberty and prosperity.
Trump Still Nagging Pelosi - House Business Rife with Superfluous Action
- By Eagle Forum
Our nation’s obsession with being “woke” has overtaken the Democratic-led House of Representatives. Rather than work for the American people, they continue to use their power for shallow act of “righteousness.” First up, last week Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of a select committee on the January 6th Capitol riot. She stated:
“It is imperative that we establish the truth of that day, and ensure that an attack of that kind cannot happen and that we root out the causes of it all. The select committee will investigate and report on the facts and the causes of the attack and it will make report recommendations for the prevention of any future attack.”/em>
Why Are Republicans Agreeing to Send Armies of IRS Agents After American Small Businesses?
- By Neil Patel
If you wanted to find the group getting the rawest deal in 2021 America, you might start with small-business owners. Many are finding themselves working 60- or 80-hour weeks just to scrape by. During the height of COVID-19, these companies were especially beaten down. Between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020, about 30% of U.S. small businesses closed, while total small-business revenue decreased by 31%, according to Economic Tracker. During the same period, the stock market boomed, and multinational corporations continued to thrive. The effects of this economic destruction are apparent in communities all over the country. Boxed-up storefronts on main streets across America are the norm.
For the First Time in America History, Public Prayer is Prohibited on the Grounds of the U.S. Capitol Building on the 4th of July
- By Christian Newswire
A Christian minister was denied the right to conduct a peaceful prayer vigil and worship service at the Capitol after he was told his permit would not be processed because the U.S. Capitol grounds were "restricted."
Rev. Patrick Mahoney applied for a permit from the U.S. Capitol Police Board in which he sought to hold a, "Prayer vigil and worship service on the 4th of July as we ask God to bless and protect our nation. On America's birthday, we will be praying for God to preserve and protect our freedom!"

Earmark Secrecy Continues as State Budget Goes into Effect
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In vetoing 226 budget earmarks totaling $152.5 million, Gov. Henry McMaster last week wrote that the “bulk of these earmarked appropriations still lack sufficient context, description, explanation of merit, or justification as to how the recipient intends to spend the funds.”
That might be one of the biggest understatements on how lawmakers funnel surplus tax dollars to their pet projects.
Under House and Senate rules, earmarks are funding requests by legislators for specific programs or projects that didn’t originate with a written agency budget request, or weren’t included in the prior fiscal year’s state appropriations.
Corrupt-a-Homa: Judicial Abuse in the Heartland
- By Michelle Malkin
Thanks to Britney Spears' court battles over her hard-earned fortune, more Americans than ever before are learning about how predatory lawyers, judges, doctors, conservators and guardians collaborate to defraud and destroy the lives of innocent victims.
The 39-year-old Spears went public last week with her 13-year-long struggle against her father and court-appointed guardian Jamie Spears -- who reportedly wrested legal control over her work schedule, dating partners, ability to have children, psychiatric medications, vacations and even, according to one court document, what color she was allowed to choose for her kitchen cabinets. Britney Spears is not alone. A recent Netflix movie called "I Care a Lot" depicted similar scams on a grand scale. But the probate abuse racket is not just the stuff of Hollywood nightmares. Estates large and small are fleeced every day in this country through a cruel legal process summed up by Boston Broadside investigative reporter Lonnie Brennan: "isolate, medicate, liquidate."
Who's Pulling The Strings
- By The John Birch Society
For those new to the channel, the idea of an organization controlling the globe & pulling the strings of the American government may seem far-fetched. How could that possibly happen to a country founded on the virtues of independence and liberty?
If you ask us, there’s undoubtedly an existential threat to our Constitution. The threat however, does not come from any cave in Kandahar or from a bat in Wuhan. It unquestionably emanates from the Pratt House in New York City, home of the Council on Foreign Relations also known as the CFR. Find out more details about the CFR and their shady ties to our government on this episode of Constitution Corner!
Wade Hampton III - Governor, US Senator, Private Citizen - Part 11
- By Bob Dill - Publisher of The Times Examiner
After Wade Hampton III was installed as Governor of South Carolina, and Republican Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was inaugurated as President of the United States, President Hayes invited Gov. Hampton to Washington for an audience at the White House.
Hayes had been a Union general during the war and the two old soldiers had war experience in common. “Evidence suggests that the two old soldiers not only reached an accommodation of sorts, but also established a close personal relationship,” according to Edward G. Longacre in Gentleman and Soldier: The Extraordinary Life of General Wade Hampton.
Later they “jointly toured parts of the South and stood side-by-side in urging reconciliation between the sections.” A few years later, some of Hampton’s allies with political aspirations in South Carolina would use his relationship with the “Yankee president” against him.
Southern Border: A Rio Overflowing with Crime
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Kamala Harris has a big problem, and Joe Biden to thank for it. Since the president assigned his vice president to oversee the crisis at the southern border over three months ago, "thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants have already streamed into our nation at levels not seen in two decades," according to Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas). Yet for three months she dismissed calls to visit the border with unconvincing excuses like "we've been to the border," and "I haven't been to Europe. I don't understand the point you're making." On Friday Harris finally -- after 93 days -- visited the southern border for the first time as vice president, in what was "a pit stop, literally, in El Paso, on the way to Los Angeles in order to check a box," said Roy. There, she had a new spin on her prolonged absence, "I said back in March, I was going to come to the border. So this is not a new plan."
School Choice Only Option in Divided Nation
- By Star Parker
The issue of critical race theory is raising a more fundamental question about our nation: education.
Education is about more than teaching children to read and write. It is about transmitting values, transmitting a worldview, that will define how our youth think and how they will live.
Per the Department of Education, in 2020, 56.4 million children were enrolled in K-12 education. Of these, 50.7 million were in public schools, and 5.7 million were in private schools.
So, government plays a substantial role in the education of our children.
Gail Nicholas Inducted into NSDA Hall of Fame
- By Randy Page - BJU
Gail Nicholas, Bob Jones Academy (BJA) faculty member, was recently inducted into the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) Hall of Fame. Nicholas is the first South Carolina coach to receive this honor.
This year’s Hall of Fame recognitions were given during NSDA’s virtual national competition in June 2021.
The NSDA Hall of Fame is the highest honor for speech and debate coaches. Of the thousands of coaches in the United States and around the world, only 193 have achieved the award since its inception in 1978. Hall of Fame members along with coaches who have earned three or more diamond awards vote to elect the new members from a slate of those nominated by member coaches.
Insatiable Woke America
- By Eagle Forum
During the signing of the bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday, President Biden said the following:
“I have to say to you, I’ve only been president for several months, but I think this will go down, for me, as one of the greatest honors I will have as president…I regret that my grandchildren aren’t here; because this is a really, really, really important moment in our history. By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day and learn from our history – and celebrate progress and grapple with the distance we’ve come (and) the distance we have to travel…”
Proposed Anti-Firearm Legislation Being Pushed by Enemies of Freedom
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT: Democrat senators plan to vote next month on a “background check” gun control bill specifically designed to gain Republican votes. Meanwhile, Republican senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) is reportedly seeking a “compromise” background-check gun control bill, while Joe Biden recently made comments attacking the Second Amendment and proposing additional gun control measures.
Republicans should never compromise on such blatantly unconstitutional legislation. Even if they succeed in passing a compromise, it would merely be a first step down the slippery slope toward additional changes that infringe on the Second Amendment. Tell your representative and senators to oppose any such compromise!

Boris Johnson Defies Vladimir Putin's Claim to Crimea
- By Pat Buchanan
About that clash between a British destroyer and Russian warplanes and warships in the Black Sea last week there are conflicting versions.
The Kremlin version is the more dramatic.
HMS Defender, says Moscow, entered the Black Sea, made port in Odessa, Ukraine, and then sailed for Batumi on the coast of Georgia.
However, the British warship traversed Russia's territorial waters at the tip of the Crimean peninsula, near Sevastopol, Russia's principal naval base on the Black Sea.
The War Against Christianity
- By Mike Scruggs
The Battle for Scriptural Authority
In Voddie T. Baucham’s just released book, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe, he makes a plea to the Church:
“I believe we are being duped by an ideology bent on our demise. This ideology has used our guilt and our good and godly desire for reconciliation and justice as a means through which to introduce destructive heresies. We cannot embrace, modify, baptize, or Christianize these ideologies. We must identify, resist, and repudiate them. We cannot be held hostage through emotional blackmail, and name-calling. Instead, we must:”
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” - Colossians 2:8
