Local Governments’ Emergency Power Grabs
- By South Carolina Policy Council
Local governments all over the state are adopting emergency measures to combat the COVID-19 outbreak – but not all of them are making their emergency declarations and ordinances easily accessible.
State law allows local governments to pass emergency ordinances in one meeting without giving the public any notice or a chance to read them first, and a number of local governments’ emergency actions are either incompletely published, difficult to find – or not published at all, leaving citizens in the dark on what their local officials actually enacted.

Our Founders Took Freedom Very Seriously
- By Heather Sheen
Our Founders took freedom very seriously - so seriously they were even willing to risk death for it. And risk it they did - many of them literally lost their lives, if not their fortunes, in pushing back against the tyranny of King George. We take those freedoms for granted and don't realize the blood they bled, the tears they shed, and the risks they took to hand down to us a free country.
North Carolina’s Kirk-Holden War

Reconstruction’s Economic and Political Tyranny
Part 4 of a Series on Reconstruction 1865-1877
By 1870, the corruption of the carpetbagger governments and the violence of the Union League was becoming a concern to a significant minority in the U. S. Congress.
In 1869, there were Union League barn burnings and other destruction in every North Carolina County. During a single week in Gaston County, nine barns were burned. In two months of the same year in Edgecombe County, two churches, several cotton gins, a cotton factory, and many barns and homes were burned. The Raleigh Sentinel reported on August 29th of the same year that ten Federal Army companies associated with the Union League had terrorized the Goldsboro area and committed violent depredations of all sorts. It reported the actions of the troops “so violent that it was unsafe for women to leave their homes.”
Who Was That Masked Man? The Odyssey of “The Lone Ranger”
- By W.H. Lamb
One of America’s true “heroes of yesteryear” was a stalwart, ostensibly imaginary icon from those long gone Old West days “when men were men” (and women were happy that they were)—a true “role model” who, beginning on January 30, 1933, began to thunder across the plains of our minds riding his great white stallion, ‘Silver’. The America of my youth (mid-1930’s to the late 1950’s)—and perhaps yours also—was a time of similar heroes who existed in the realm of imagination, and in the tales of folklore so avidly listened to over that “pictureless contraption” called a ‘radio’. Kids and adults sat in front of that electronic wonder, with its’ single poor quality speaker, long before the days of television, cell phones, the internet, space travel, identity politics, texting, and (thank God) “social media”, and we were forced to use our MINDS—our imaginations—as a thrilling tale went audibly into our ears and unfolded onto the personal “screens” of our own built-in movie theater that existed inside our heads.
Border Wall and Open Borders

The Beginning of the Lend for Churches
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"Love looks like an empty sanctuary," one pastor said. But after weeks of not gathering in person, it's the emptiness in the offering plate that's really hurting churches. And it's not necessarily the pastors' salaries or the building upkeep that worries leaders. It's the impact on ministry. "If this keeps up," one Baltimore pastor told the AP, "we can't fund all [of] our outreach to help other people." But, thanks to the Trump administration's insistence that churches be included in the virus relief, the president had good news: Help is on the way! (It just required some last-minute fixes first.)
Kissinger's Call for a New World Order
- By Pat Buchanan
Among the works that first brought Henry Kissinger to academic acclaim was "A World Restored," his 1950s book about how the greatest diplomats of Europe met at the Congress of Vienna to restore order to a continent shattered by the Napoleonic Wars.
The balance-of-power peace these men achieved lasted -- with the significant exception of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 -- for the full century, from 1815 to 1914.

Evangelist Will Graham to Proclaim Hope of Jesus During Special Livestream Outreach on Good Friday
- By Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- In an age of coronavirus, quarantines and social distancing, Evangelist Will Graham is preparing to proclaim a hope-filled Gospel message on Good Friday. The online outreach will be simulcast from the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, April 10.
"As we contemplate Jesus' death on the cross -- which we commemorate on Good Friday -- it certainly didn't seem 'good' at the time. Darkness thought it had won. However, Christ conquered the grave and triumphantly rose again," said Graham. "This year things seem bleak, but we know that Jesus' sacrifice and victory means that our present struggles aren't the end of the story. We can find lasting peace and eternal hope in Him, even when the world around us is in turmoil."
Manipulation Through Racial Hoaxes
- By Walter Williams
We black people are so convenient and useful to America's leftists. Whenever there's a bit of silencing to be done, just accuse a detractor or critic of racism. A recent, particularly stupid, example is CNN's Brandon Tensley's complaint that the "Coronavirus task force is another example of Trump administration's lack of diversity." Tensley said the virus experts are "largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning." I'd like for Tensley to tell us just what racial or sex diversity contribute to finding a cure or treatment for the coronavirus.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
- By Author Unknown
DONALD TRUMP: I've been told my many sources, good sources - they're very good sources - that the chicken crossed the road. All the Fake News wants to do is write nasty things about the road, but it's a really good road. It's a beautiful road. Everyone knows how beautiful it is.
JOE BIDEN: Why did the chicken do the...thing in the...you know the rest.
SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he's a maverick!
BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs. Period.

Bishop E.W. Jackson Says Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's Executive Order is Unconstitutional
- By Christian Newswire
RICHMOND, Va. -- Prominent minister and former Republican nominee for Lt. Governor accuses Governor Ralph Northam of an unlawful power grab. Jackson is consulting with attorneys on filing an injunction to stop the Stay-At-Home order.
"This is a problem nationwide," says the Bishop. "Governors and Mayors are taking upon themselves powers they do not have. First of all, no elected official has constitutional power to order the citizens to do anything. They can advise and recommend, and count on the decency of the American people to cooperate with reasonable requests, but the only people they can give orders to are those who work for them. The people do not work for them. They work for us."

Lone Congressman Defends our Constitution
- By Eagle Forum
Our Rights Matter, Especially in a Pandemic
Late last week, the House passed “phase three” of the Coronavirus economic relief package, but not without some turmoil. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) came to an agreement, the Senate passed the CARES Act (H.R. 748) unanimously. Once again, the public did not have a chance to read the bill before it passed. However, as it was going for a final vote, word of harmful spending measures trickled out, and a few House Republicans were not happy.
Officers Arrest Pro-lifer Praying Outside Abortion Mill
- By Christian Newswire
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Ron K., who has maintained a peaceful pro-life presence outside a San Francisco Planned Parenthood for over a decade, was arrested and issued a criminal citation on Thursday for praying outside the facility. Officers said Ron violated the city's "shelter-in-place" ordinance and threatened to take him to jail if he did not leave immediately. Ron remained a safe distance away from women and staff entering the abortion mill at all times.
Americans' Goodness Outweighs Pockets of Anti-Christian Bigotry
- By David Limbaugh
Though some deny it, many harbor a strong hostility toward Christians in our society, especially those who obediently wear their faith on their sleeves.
You know what they find worse than an outspoken evangelical Christian? An outspoken evangelical Christian who's also an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump. Talk about a perfect storm of contemptibility!
Mike Lindell, owner of MyPillow, and the Rev. Franklin Graham fall squarely into this category. Both are Christians. Both support Donald Trump. Both speak out about both.
Hillsborough County Reverses and Recognizes Churches as Essential
- By Liberty Counsel
TAMPA, Fla. -- Hillsborough County Council just met and voted to reverse its order from law last Friday. At the recommendation of County Attorney Beck, the council voted to recognize churches as "essential." Mayor Castor wanted to impose the 10 person and six-foot social distancing restriction on churches, but the council voted against her recommendation at the advice of counsel. Any future guidance the county may issue will be recommendations and not enforceable.
Now Is Not the Time for Politics
- By Neil Patel
Things are getting real. We are at over 47,000 deaths worldwide and over 5,000 deaths in the U.S. alone. Our top experts are modeling between 100,000 and 240,000 American deaths by the end of this crisis. Those are massive numbers. We lost nearly 3,000 on 9/11; we suffered 7,000 (so far) U.S. military deaths in the "war on terror" and 58,000 after 20 years in Vietnam. Early hopes that COVID-19 could be overblown have more than dwindled. If anything, we are learning more every day about how China has understated the deaths they have seen -- drastically understated, according to some reports.
When It's Over, Will We Be the Same America?
- By Pat Buchanan
"Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully," said Samuel Johnson.
And as it is with men, so it is with nations.
Monday, Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, projected some 100,000 to 200,000 U.S. deaths from the pandemic, "if we do things almost perfectly." She agreed with Dr. Anthony Fauci's estimate that, if we do "nothing," the American dead could reach 2.2 million.
As COVID Bears Down, Courage Goes Viral
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
It wasn't the message Americans were hoping to hear. "The surge is coming," President Trump warned, "and it's coming pretty strong." He paused, thinking about the doctors and nurses he'd watched walking into hospitals that morning. "It's like military people going... into battle," he said soberly. And it's up to each one of us to determine who wins.
