Reality and Consequences of the 2018 Midterm Elections

- By Mike Scruggs
Demographics, Dollars, and Cultural Marxism victory, deliverance, or colossal political disaster?
We are an embattled nation. Starting in January, the Democrats will have control of the U.S. House of Representatives with approximately 234 seats to 200 for the Republicans. One House race is still too close to call. A majority is 218. This should pose no problem for absolute Democrat dominance, since they have been voting with near 100 percent unanimity to block all of President Trump’s agenda and 2016 election mandate. The House Republicans, now in the minority, will have little chance of initiating or passing legislation supporting the Trump agenda or any genuinely conservative agenda.
Nobody Cares

- By Ben Graydon
Those words cut. Unfortunately they are far too often true. A man typically goes about thinking of himself first, living in an imaginary world where others think of him as he thinks of himself, then he is shocked to discover a different reality wherein no one truly cares for or about him. It’s just the cold hard fact that (almost) nobody cares.
From the world outside of the Body of Christ, it is an attitude to be expected. But what of God’s people? For many of them don’t care, either. It should not be true in the church as people envision it to be, but it is, for the church is an institution, incapable of feeling or caring. But not caring about others CANNOT be true in the ecclesia. We who are the Body of Christ, though we are still subject to fleshly limitations, have inside of us the love of Christ that must mark us as different in the eyes of those living in the world where it’s “dog eat dog” and “every man for himself.”

Before I begin this plunge into the heart of liberal dogma, let me state for the record that I am not against a degree of legal, restricted, and needful immigration. The vast majority of Americans living today had ancestors who emigrated from some other country and into the U.S. in the past. I am one of them, for both my maternal grandfather and grandmother came, LEGALLY, from the country of Croatia early in the 20th century, and I’m grateful that they did. America has been peopled by, and generally benefitted from, immigrants who came here from mostly European countries (with some exceptions) over much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Except for some of the immigrants from Oriental nations, these European immigrants usually assimilated quickly, or at least their children did, and most became naturalized, proud and useful Americans, the vast majority of whom contributed much more to our nation that they took from it. Unfortunately, the same cannot honestly be claimed in regards to the disparate dregs of humanity who, legally or mostly otherwise, are entering our nation today.
Lawless Cultural Values of the Democratic Party
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks
Speaking to avid supporters who form a foundational pillar of the core values of the Democratic Party, past presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton sermonized, during the election cycle, with a straight face, that half of Donald Trump supporters were a “basket of deplorables.” Her particularly devoted “non-deplorable” audience consisted of “in your face” Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgenders. Hillary, excitedly, also sermonized that Trump “deplorables”, were also: “…racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic…” Her audience rapturously agreed, and the liberal news media enthusiastically disseminated Hillary’s wisdom and vision to all!
The New Left: Rebels Without A Cause?
- Details
- By Joseph M Bianchi - Greenville, SC
It has been fifty years since the tumultuous “Summer of ’68” and the now immortal chant by protesters at the Democratic National Convention of, “The whole world is watching!”
Fifty years; a half century. The wave of protests against the Vietnam War had come to a great crescendo. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were cut down by assassins’ bullets. American society was in turmoil both on the streets and the college campuses—and Woodstock was still a year away!
Happy Holidays? How do we get There?
- Details
- By Alveda King
As the holidays are upon us, let us be mindful that these next few weeks are beautiful opportunities to express love, grace, encouragement and peace towards others. There are some people, and in some cases someone we know, or even we ourselves are in dire need of a prayer or two this holiday season. Some have lost loved ones and some have lost much to tragedies. Yet there are reasons and opportunities to spread love to others right now. A notion such as this may seem difficult, especially with the brutal mid-terms behind us, and some political runoff elections ahead of us; but let's just try to be civil to one another.
A Modest Dissent
- Details
- By Hugh McInnish - Huntsville, AL
At Trump's recent press conference held at the White House, there was a dust-up between Jim Acosta, a correspondent for CNN, and a young White House female intern. The intern came to Acosta and asked him to give her the microphone so that she could pass it to the next person Trump called on. He refused, and there was a mild tussle for the microphone. The tussle ended when Trump insisted that the correspondent surrender the microphone. Trump made a forceful expression of his displeasure with Acosta's behavior, and he promptly revoked his "hard pass," the document that permits his entry to the White House.
