The Victims of Demonic Oppression
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
NEW SYNDICATED COLUMNIST on The Times Examiner!
I don’t claim to be an expert on demonology, but there are some basic things we should all acknowledge, understand and know. First, demons are real. They’re fallen angels who chose to follow Satan and were cast out of heaven. This is no myth. This is a fact. They’re spiritual beings and because they know their ultimate end will be the lake of fire, and there’s no redemption possible for them, they hate God and they hate human beings, His image-bearers. They loathe and despise our very souls, and will stop at nothing to bring about as much confusion, corruption and ultimately, as much death as possible.
So many professing Christians today love to believe in heavenly angels, yet 40% of Christians don’t believe fallen angels — demons — exist. Most church-goers are even confused about angels. I’ve been to funerals where the pastor preaches about the deceased, saying “heaven needed another angel.” Understand this: angels are distinctly different from human beings and human beings do not become “angels” when they die.
As Iran Conflict Deepens, Regime Appears Resilient Absent U.S. Ground Operation
- Details
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
As the ongoing U.S. strike on Iran entered its tenth day, reports surfaced Sunday that the beleaguered Islamist regime had selected Mojtaba Khamenei to be the country’s next supreme leader following the death of his father Ali Khamenei on February 28 as the result of an American missile attack. But President Trump maintained that if the next Iranian leader does not get U.S. approval, they’re “not going to last long.”
Mojtaba Khamenei, who is 56, was reportedly selected after a “strong” vote from a group of clerics. The vote appeared to dash the hopes of a swift end to the mullah’s regime in Tehran, as Khamenei is widely seen as an Islamist hardliner in the line of his father, “a Shi’ite cleric with a power base among the security forces and their vast business empire.” Trump told ABC News that the next Iranian leader is “going to have to get approval from us,” but the president did not specify what kind of scenario would enable an opposition leader to emerge who the U.S. would approve of.
Embedded in America

- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
Trump has made it clear he will not negotiate with Iran. You can’t, and he is correct. The weaker and New-World Order predecessors in the White House did not have backbone, nor were they America First dedicated. Trump knows instinctively if he does not oversee the elimination of Iran’s war and terror making abilities there will be more war making facilities and means created.
Despite America’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facility deep underground, Iran’s Ayatollah and his brood of vipers, attempted new and diverse missile and bomb sites and continued with on-going nuclear facilities much deeper underground than that which had been hit. So mere negotiating and reasoning is absurd; namely, because their entire belief system is comprised of pathological lying, and their supernatural ideologue is, they believe, far superior to that of the remainder of the world.
U.S. Destroys 16 Iranian Mine-Laying Boats Near Strait of Hormuz
- Details
- By Emmitt Barry - Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – U.S. forces destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying boats near the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday as Washington moved to prevent Tehran from disrupting one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes, the Pentagon confirmed.
U.S. Central Command said the vessels were among multiple Iranian naval assets “eliminated” during operations targeting potential mine threats along Iran’s coast.
President Donald Trump warned Iran earlier in the day that severe consequences would follow if mines were deployed in the narrow waterway.
“If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait… we want them removed immediately,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “If they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction.”
Fix What's Broken at Home so We Can Defend Ourselves Abroad
- Details
- By Star Parker
In 2024, for the first time in almost a century, the United States spent more financing its national debt than it did, as a percentage of GDP, on national defense. In 2024, interest on our national debt expenditures came in at 3.1% of GDP and defense spending at 2.9%.
This has been the case through this year, although it's too soon to say what the picture will finally be for 2026. But it's very close.
Hoover Institution scholar Niall Ferguson notes that this is an ominous sign. He quotes what he calls Ferguson's Law, after 18th century Scottish political theorist Adam Ferguson.
The Five Things You Must Know About Energy Policy
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Given the energy disruptions in the Middle East and the topsy-turvy fluctuation in the price of crude oil in recent weeks, here are a few facts about the energy scene.
First, "drill, baby, drill" is working. America today is producing more oil and gas than ever. Over the past six years, we've produced more than any other nation, including Saudi Arabia. The best way to inoculate ourselves from foreign supply disruptions is to generate every barrel of oil we can here at home. And we have many decades of abundant supply given ever-improving shale drilling techniques.

Iran War Commentary and Notes
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
“Truth Is the First Casualty of War”
On Truth and War
The origin of the quote, “Truth is the first casualty of war” is controversial. It is sometimes attributed in form to the Greek philosopher Aeschylus (c. 524-456 BC) but that cannot be documented. Aeschylus is documented to have said, “God is not averse to deceit in a just cause.” In 1950, columnist Malcolm W. Bingay gave caution to this: “Aeschylus said that ‘God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause.’ It takes very mild mental gymnastics to make any politician or statesman or soldier believe that his cause is holy and therefore proper to lie about.”
The Bible of the Pilgrims – The Geneva Bible
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
For the past seven or eight decades, ever since the “modern” or “controversial” translations of God’s Word, our Holy Bible, began to appear on the scene, there have been dire predictions that “the Apocalypse” was about to come upon us, that the moon would turn to blood, and that the “end of the world” was imminent. We still hear many of these same exaggerated fears. What has prompted these warnings from otherwise rational believers with their concerns regarding the affect that newer or more modern Bible translations will have upon the world of Protestant Christendom? What has caused this “doom scenario” on the part of a portion of today’s Christian people?
Homes not Hotels and Hostels!
- Details
- By Steve Shaw - Greenville County Councilman, District 20
Your home and neighborhood should be a refuge and sanctuary of quiet enjoyment. You have a reasonable expectation that a home next door or in your neighborhood does not become a hotel or hostel.
For the last several years, I have heard many complaints and concerns from you about short-term rentals ruining your quality of life. While we live in a free-enterprise economy, there are boundaries of reasonableness and decency. My mom always taught us, with every right of ours comes an equal responsibility to respect the rights of others.
I brought the idea of regulating short-term rentals to County planning staff several years ago and was all-but told to go pound sand. They tried to tell me that it's futile because the General Assembly was considering preemption legislation. Well, that was a terrible attitude *and* the legislation was not passed.
Terrorist Designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood
- Details
- By U.S. Department of State
WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of State is designating the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and intends to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, effective March 16, 2026.
The Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood uses unrestrained violence against civilians to undermine efforts to resolve the conflict in Sudan and advance its violent Islamist ideology. Its fighters, many receiving training and other support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have conducted mass executions of civilians. The Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood’s al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade was designated pursuant to E.O. 14098 in September 2025 for its role in Sudan’s brutal war.

Supreme Court pushes back against government schools’ transgender war on kids
USPIE: ‘The very idea that children could “transition” into a different sex from birth is a harmful lie, propagated by woke “education”’
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is recognizing “Detransition Awareness Day,” a celebration on March 12 of people who have overcome the “gender reassignment” delusion and begun the process of recovering their natural sexuality.
Detransition Awareness Day is a critical reminder of the horrors brought upon our children largely by government schools. The very idea that children could ‘transition’ into a different sex from birth is a harmful lie, propagated by woke ‘education.’

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists publicly supports the use of APR.
Just War Expert Defends Trump’s Iran Attacks
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
While the Trump administration’s strikes on the Iranian regime have gone swimmingly, its efforts to sell the American people on the campaign have more work to do. In at least four polls conducted since attacks began on February 28, American opinion is roughly evenly split, or perhaps slightly negative, toward the attacks, with many respondents still undecided.
Democrats in Congress have capitalized on this ambivalence to question President Trump’s strategy. “The president has a responsibility to make the case to the American people as to the justification for this war,” insisted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a press conference, “but has provided no evidence that there was an imminent threat to the American people here or abroad.”
Life Legal Challenges Delaware Assisted Suicide Law in Federal Appeals Court

NAPA, Calif. — Life Legal Defense Foundation has filed a friend of the court (amicus) brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, urging the court to reject Delaware’s assisted suicide law and reaffirm the government’s duty to protect human life.
In its brief, Life Legal argues that physician-assisted suicide undermines one of the most fundamental principles of American law: that the role of government is to defend life, not facilitate its destruction.
“Human life is a fundamental constitutional right that states have a solemn duty to protect,” the brief explains.

These actions help to strengthen families and protect children.
From Sewer Expansion to Six-Figure Sanctions

$106,000 sanctions dispute fuels broader debate over government authority and the public’s right to challenge local decisions in court
A lawsuit challenging Greenville County’s expansion of the Metropolitan Sewer Subdistrict has moved from a debate over planning law to a six-figure dispute over whether the plaintiffs should be ordered to pay the County’s legal fees.
The underlying case was dismissed last fall. What remains unresolved is whether the lawsuit was merely unsuccessful or rises to the level of legal frivolity.
The distinction now carries a potential price tag of $106,164.48.

“I saw scenes that would have brought any other human being to their knees.” — General practitioner, Tehran
When the missiles started raining down on Iran Saturday, there was a sense of urgency for people to get to safety, yes, but there was also another overriding emotion for many: relief. The show of force by the U.S. and Israel was the violent answer to countless prayers offered up since January, when leaders massacred thousands of innocents to stop the wave of anti-regime protests gripping the country. Most of the nation had started to worry that the bloodbath would go unpunished by the world. They were wrong.

Why Evolutionists Reject the Term “Evolutionist”
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The Complaint Often made by evolutionists about being called evolutionists is illustrated perfectly in this quote from an evolutionist complaining about my usage of the term.
“Oh, and stop calling people evolutionists - it’s a very desperate term invented by creationists to try and make evolution sound like your religion. It isn’tm, it’s science. Get over it.”
While many evolutionists simply ignore the usage of the term “evolutionist,” many will complain about it. Not only by falsely claiming that the term was invented by creationists, but also that it is used to make evolution seem like a religion. However, it turns out that neither of these claims has any basis in reality.

Don't Let Congress Ruin College Sports

Should the revenues made by big-time college athletics be "shared" by all the schools? Do we want "revenue-sharing" socialism to come to college football and basketball? Many in Congress are answering yes to that question.
The NCAA isn't the massive moneymaker the NFL and NBA are, but in many ways the product is more exciting than the boring professional leagues. That's especially true in this month of March, when the hoops madness begins.
