Despite the great majority of the mainstream Western media’s inattention to the origin and history of the Ukraine conflict going back to the Maidan Revolution and coup in 2014, there are some burning ethical issues regarding the conduct of the Ukrainian government and elements of the Ukrainian armed forces that the American people and their Congress should not ignore.
Ukraine is an ethnically divided nation. Only 60 percent of Ukrainians consider Ukrainian their native language. More than 17 percent consider Russian their native language, and 22 percent consider both Russian and Ukrainian their native language. The large Russian cultural minority is most concentrated in the southern and eastern oblasts (states) of Ukraine, where 60 to 90 percent of voters favor pro-Russian candidates and policies. There is also a small minority of 156,000 Hungarian-speakers concentrated in the Transcarpathian area of western Ukraine near the Hungarian border. Pro-Russian politics are relatively strong in Transcarpathia, about 42 percent, because of Ukrainian Security Services (SSU) attempts at cultural cleansing of language, education, religion, history, statues, and other Hungarian identity. Ukrainian cultural cleansing has also included suppression of Orthodox churches and believers wishing to maintain a connection with the Russian Orthodox Church’s Moscow Patriarchate.
Kicked Out by the Columbia Swamp?
- By Josiah Magnuson - SC House Representative for District 38
On Tuesday, January 10, members of the SC Freedom Caucus including myself were physically barred from entering the room where the House Republican Caucus was scheduled to meet. Because I won't be silenced, they have now said that I and the others who would not sign their loyalty pledge are not welcome in their club.
For several months, leaders of the House Republican Caucus have been trying to require legislators to pledge not to “campaign” against each other. They have demanded that we must “comply” and sign on the dotted line.
I take great exception to such a requirement. First, I went to Columbia to represent my district and try to bring about government reform, not to be part of an incumbent protection racket. Second, my constitutional right to free speech didn’t end with my election to office. Third, though the Freedom Caucus has made multiple proposals in good faith, House Republican leadership has refused to define "campaigning" in the rules, so I have no idea what I would be agreeing to. In fact, discussions surrounding the introduction of this rule centered around the view that my posting pictures of the voting board in the House is akin to “misinformation” that is threatening other members’ reelection and I was told publicly I needed to “search my heart” for why I was really doing so.
The Troll Sagas

Chapter 6 - Weapons, Allies, and Terrible New Enemies
“Have you noticed,” Ivar asked Ketel, “the three falcons that seem to follow us? Are they an omen for good or evil?” “They are better than omens,” said Ketel, “they are friends. They see where Skrogger and Raevi are, and perhaps they have seen Marja and which way her captors are taking her. They also have many friends who inform them.”
At this point, one of the falcons circled low around them and then landed near Ketel. At a signal from Ketel he flew up and perched on Ketel’s outstretched left arm. After some friendly noises from this magnificent great bird, Ketel said, “This is Skyrover, an old and dear friend. With him are his sons, Skywatch and Swiftwing. They now know the way Gort takes and the lay of those parts near the Great Fjord. They and the foxes will guide us there, but we must form a plan of attack and rescue.”
Warning: The “Obammacoccus Stupidicus” Virus Is Still Alive And Dangerous, And May Be Fatal To Your Freedom!
- By W.H. Lamb
We all know that the “zombies” have been among us for quite some time! Stupid “zombie” shows on TV and “zombie” video games have long entertained the mentally challenged mouth breathers among the population, keeping them occupied and relatively harmless while the normal adult population tries to go about their daily routines, struggling in increasing frustration to keep their lives on a “straight line” despite the economic and cultural ravages being perpetrated against them by the Marxist enemies of freedom and constitutional government in Washington, District of Criminals & Communists, and to keep their struggling finances above water, and especially to keep their status as free citizens still intact. Now add to this fantasy zombie fixation the real and serious plague facing all freedom loving Americans: POLITICAL ZOMBIES (aka liberals/progressives/socialists, Dumbocrats, leftists (Nazis and fascists), and moonbats), and we have a potential disaster of significant proportions facing all of us.
Ivan Provorov Lives Not By Lies
- By Rod Dreher - The American Conservative
Philadelphia Flyers hockey star Ivan Provorov is a Russian Orthodox Christian who actually believes in his religion, and as such, might just be History's Greatest Monster, apparently:
Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov cited his Russian Orthodox religion as the reason he did not participate in pregame warmups when the team wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape.
The 26-year-old Provorov boycotted the pregame skate with his teammates before Tuesday night's game against Anaheim as the Flyers celebrated their annual Pride night in celebration and support of the LGBTQ+ community. He played nearly 23 minutes in Philadelphia's 5-2 victory.
“I respect everybody's choices,” Provorov said after the game. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That's all I'm going to say.”
What's Really Going On With the Phony Trump/Biden Document Scandal
- By Neil Patel
Even by Washington standards, all the fake posturing and hypocrisy over the Trump/Biden classified documents scandals is reaching new heights. The Donald Trump era, which we are still in by many measures, has shattered many norms. Some of it has been healthy. A lot has not. The vigor by which the left and some of the establishment right has gone after Trump has certainly shattered many norms that the country will regret.

Shell-Shocked Ukrainians Turn to Churches as 'Winter of War' Presses in
- By Slavic Gospel Association (SGA)
As temperatures plunge, desperate families see church-based 'Heat and Hope' centers as their only hope
LOVES PARK, Ill. -- Hundreds of local churches across Ukraine are transforming their facilities into critical aid centers, providing safety, warmth and hope for thousands uprooted by war.
Up to 95% of those coming to the "Heat and Hope" centers at local churches are not practicing Christians, but see the church as the only hope, according to U.S. missionary Eric Mock.
According to Mock, vice-president at Illinois-based Slavic Gospel Association (SGA, www.sga.org), the gritty determination of local pastors across Ukraine -- many going door-to-door in freezing temperatures to check on their neighbors -- is making a big impression on Ukrainians normally apathetic about religious faith.
Napolitano and MacGregor on Ukraine War Casualties and Political and Military Stability.
- By Mike Scruggs
MacGregor's summary of open sources indicates the number of Ukrainian dead is 122,000 and another 35,000 (Ukrainian source) soldiers are missing. That would total 157,000 probable military dead and another 300,000 wounded. Most of Ukraine's original tanks and artillery have also been destroyed.
Russian losses by independent sources are 16,000 to 20,000 dead. This is the same as my combined estimate of Russian, Donbas militias, Chechens, PMC, and Cossack forces.

Report: U.S. Is 'Most Permissive Country' for Minor Gender Transition
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
“The United States is the most permissive country when it comes to the legal and medical gender transition of children,” according to a 12-country policy review by medical advocacy group Do No Harm. The group compared “different legal requirements for gender change-related treatments and actions” among the U.S. and the 11 countries of Northern and Western Europe. These countries — Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom — “share the United States’ broad support for transgenderism” yet “reject the gender-affirming care model for children.”
Planetary Magnetic Fields and Biblical Creation Part 2
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the key requirements of the scientific theory is how well it predicts future observations this is one area where Dr. Russell Humphreys’ Dynamic Decay Theory is highly successful. Dr. Humphreys first published this theory before Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune. He saw an opportunity to make a prediction about the magnetic field of both planets, and he subsequently published the results in the Creation Research Society Quarterly.
The very fact that this theory produced experimentally testable predictions puts the lie to the claim that creationists do not do real science because it demonstrates a prime example of a creationist theory making testable predictions. It is not alone in doing so, but it is an excellent example because of how successful that it has been. It also provides terrific evidence of the explanatory power that creationist theories can have.

Ukraine is Collapsing Under the Weight of Russian Offensives
- By Press Release
Latest interview with Col. Douglas Macgregor on Ukraine War. Click the image above to play.
While American, NATO, and Ukrainian propaganda are still trying to spin a Ukrainian victory narrative, the facts on the ground are just the opposite. Ukrainian military dead may already be 150,000, and equipment losses of artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and anti-aircraft missile batteries have been heavy as well. The Ukrainian economy is reeling from Russian Air and Rocket attacks on electrical infrastructure.
The danger is that the Biden Administration will escalate the war in a futile attempt to restore its credibility, resulting in high American, Polish, and Rumanian casualties, as well as more Ukrainian casualties. Also see just published book by Dr. Benjamin Abelow: How the West Brought War to Ukraine. Joe Biden has been up to his neck in this disaster since 2014.
Support the South Carolina Sovereignty Act
- By The John Birch Society
ACT NOW: South Carolina lawmakers are seeking to enact a comprehensive nullification bill, a major step toward enforcing the U.S. Constitution and pushing back against federal overreach.
House Bill 3539 (H.3539), titled the “South Carolina Sovereignty Act,” is sponsored by Representative Josiah Magnuson (R-Campobello) and 22 other representatives. If enacted, this bill would create a robust and comprehensive process for nullifying unconstitutional federal laws and policies enacted after January 1, 2021.
Noting that “a long train of abuses and usurpations has been imposed by the federal government of the United States against the people of South Carolina,” H.3539 declares:

Religious Freedom for Christian Colleges: A Victory in Federal Court
- By Rob Schwarzwalder - The Washington Stand
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by the LGBTQ-sponsored “Religious Exemption Accountability Project” (REAP) asserting that “young and vulnerable” LGBTQ+ persons are “at the mercy of religiously affiliated, taxpayer-funded social service and educational institutions that often turn them away or force them into the closet.”
The students who litigated against the U.S. Department of Education and the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) wanted to overturn “a provision of Title IX that allows religious colleges to seek exemptions” from a law barring “sex-based discrimination.” Title IX is part of a 1972 measure and states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Noem's Pro-Trans Ties Spark Protests, 2024 Skepticism
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Even the frigid temperatures couldn’t keep angry South Dakotans away. Despite the blistering, nine-degree cold, as many as 150 people gathered in the snow outside the 2023 Midwest Gender Identity Summit in Sioux Falls Friday morning to protest Sanford Health’s unwelcome presence in their state. Standing by snow drifts, with a long convoy of cars heading to join them, organizer Adam Broin insisted, “This is NOT South Dakota!” But according to a bombshell report by NRO reporter Nate Hochman, it may already be South Dakota, thanks to the transgender movement’s unlikely ally: Republican Governor Kristi Noem.
Author Taylor Caldwell—Another Look At “Why The Middle Class Must Not Fail”
- By W.H. Lamb
Last month The Times Examiner published my article entitled: Dear And Glorious Taylor, an in-depth look at one of my favorite authors, the late, great patriot, Taylor Caldwell. In that article I referred to an article that Caldwell wrote back in 1974, titled: “The Middle Class Must Not Fail”. Originally published by The Review of the News on May 29, 1974, it was republished in The New American Magazine on May 1, 1995. The Review of the News was one of the magazines published by The John Birch Society for many years, but was eventually replaced by The New American magazine, also published by The John Birch Society, to which Taylor Caldwell had been a faithful member for many years. It is that insightful and prophetic article, originally published so long ago, that I’d like to share with you now, because it surely applies to today’s events.

Can California be Redeemed?
- By Inspire PR Agency
IRVINE, Calif. -- While many people believe California is beyond saving, an inspirational, life-changing and explosive new book by Kathy J. Looper—Redeem California: With God All Things are Possible—is releasing February 7, offering compelling evidence that not only is the Golden State not beyond God's help, but California is poised for revival. California's evangelical population is larger than the population of 38 states, but less than 25 percent vote. What would happen if these believers voted and ran for office?
