Conservatives Urge Trump to Bypass Blue States, Empower Local Schools and Parents with School Choice
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
As education advocates from the national to local level praise President Donald Trump’s commitment to deliver the four-decade-old conservative policy goal of abolishing the Department of Education, they warn that Democrat-controlled states could implement worse curricula than the federal DOE and ask the president to consider directly funding local school districts or parents through school vouchers.
President Trump campaigned on shuttering the 45-year-old federal department in 2024, and shortly after taking office, he moved swiftly to keep his promise. “The Secretary of Education shall, to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely,” stated President Trump’s executive order, issued last Thursday, March 20. He also cut the number of federal employees working in the DOE by approximately half.
Update on Kursk, Ukraine, and Peace Prospects

Time for Giving Truth and Peace Precedence over Vanity
On August 6, 2024, several elite brigades (allegedly 13,000 men) of the Ukrainian Army drove across the Russian border into the Kursk Oblast of Russia and captured about 390 square miles of heavily forested and largely rural territory, including the town of Sudzha, population just over 5,100, and 27 smaller villages. Sudzha is the administrative headquarters for the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk Oblast.
The Russians initially responded mainly with reserves and were slow to act, but within weeks there were reports that the initial Ukrainian forces had suffered 80 percent casualties. Moreover, the Ukrainians kept pouring mechanized infantry, armored vehicles, trucks, mobile weapon systems into the developing battle as the Russians slowly increased resistance.
Is The U.S.A. A Land of Bad Government Or A Land of Good People?

- By W.H. Lamb
Much of what follows in this article was inspired by a great brochure I recently read, titled: “Back to Basics” (Timeless Truths Series) published by The John Birch Society, to which my wife and I have belonged for many decades. Although I’ve written on this subject previously in The Times Examiner, this information—this discussion of foundational principles—is so important that much of it bears repeating and restudying, for we have been living for generations in a nation whose government has shamelessly, purposely, and seemingly without fear of resistance from our people, ABANDONED the Constitutionalform of government set up for our REPUBLIC (not a DEMOCRACY) by the wisdom of our Founders back in 1787. If that statement is true, as I fear it is, then TRIPLE SHAME on “We, the so-called American People” for callously and carelessly allowing this to happen!
Trump and Congress Work to Give Free Speech to All
- Details
- By Kristen A. Ullman - Eagle Forum President
Restoring Free Speech!
After years of leftist attempts to silence dissenting voices, including Republicans, pro-lifers, and faith leaders, the Trump Administration and Congress are seeking to restore our First Amendment rights to free speech and religious expression. We are grateful for these efforts to reverse the silencing of people of faith.
One of Eagle Forum’s top priorities this year is to work for the repeal of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The FACE Act is a federal criminal law prohibiting actions blocking access to abortion clinics. It became law in 1994 as an effort to silence pro-lifers who peacefully protest outside abortion mills, making it a crime to speak out against the greatest civil rights issue of our time — the murder of the unborn.

40,000 ‘Jesus Wells’ supply people with clean water in world’s poorest, thirstiest places; World Water Day, March 22
WILLS POINT, Texas — Millions across Africa and Asia are bracing for the annual drought season that could result in catastrophic loss of life in coming months as millions turn to filthy, disease-ridden ponds as a last resort to find drinking water.
Global mission agency GFA World (www.gfa.org) is warning that urgent action is needed as World Water Day on March 22 spotlighted the looming water crisis.
“About 2.2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water, and 829,000 of them will die this year from waterborne diseases, most of which could be prevented,” said Bishop Daniel Timotheos Yohannan, the organization’s president. “This is something we should all care about.”

Can Science Explain Miracles?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The question of can science explain miracles is not an effort to explain them away by providing a naturalistic explanation. Rather, in this case, it is dealing with the question of how they might actually happen. That is a completely different question, and one that is often not asked. In fact, the most common argument against miracles refers to them as magic. What we are exploring here is how science can offer a potential mechanism that allows miracles to occur.

"If the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood" (Ezekiel 33:6).
As stated in Part I, I believe America is lost and downtrodden, and removing God from our institutions of education, government, courts, finances leave a person with little to no understanding of common law, common decency or common sense to deal with the challenges we already have witnessed nor the calamities that I believe are to come. Neither do we today have a good understanding of the principles by which our nation was founded. Man's insatiable appetite for control and having all knowledge and power has also come close to extinguishing what was ordained for America - to be a light on the hill for the lost and downtrodden.

Misconceptions About Development Approvals in Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
When residents see headlines like “120 Townhomes Proposed in Greenville County”, many assume that the county has already approved the development and that construction is imminent. This is a common misconception.
Take, for example, a recent article from The Post and Courier Greenville detailing a proposed 120-townhome development across multiple locations in Taylors, Berea, and Piedmont. To the untrained eye, it may seem like these townhomes are a done deal, but in reality, this is just the beginning of a long approval process.

Yesterday was the 250th anniversary of this quote: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry gave that speech at the Second Virginia Convention, which was held at St. John's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia. Yes, a political convention with fiery speeches took place in a church! Henry made a bold and eloquent statement that challenged his fellow delegates to think of independence from Great Britain. Another way to phrase Henry's line is that it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Trump Orders a Plan to Dismantle the Education Department While Keeping Some Core Functions
- Details
- By Collin Binkley - Moms for Liberty
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives.
Trump has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979. Republicans said they will introduce a bill to achieve that.
The department, however, is not set to close completely. The White House said the department will retain certain critical functions.
Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats’ 10-Part Strategy to Stopping Trump (At Any Cost)
- Details
- By The Daily Signal
Despite their unprecedented unpopularity, Democrats aren’t operating in a nihilistic vacuum. They are currently carrying out a highly organized counter-agenda. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this agenda into 10 key themes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
Democrats think “ Donald Trump must be considered, as Chris Matthews just said, a Mussolini-like figure. He must be opposed in every aspect. He must be demonized. Everything he does is evil. And by extension, the same is true of Elon Musk.
“ The second thing I’ve noticed, very quickly, is ICE is wrong. You have to stop ICE from deporting anybody, even if they’re a criminal.
“ There should be no cuts. No cuts in the federal government. We have a $1.7 trillion deficit. … We’re not going to discuss it. All we know is there should be no layoffs.”

US, Russia Talk About Maritime Truce As Attacks Continue In Ukraine (Worthy News In-Depth)

RIYADH/KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – U.S. and Russian delegates wrapped up a day of tense talks on a plan for a ceasefire at sea between Kyiv and Moscow, even as a Russian missile strike in Ukraine wounded scores of people.
Washington hoped Monday’s talks in Saudi Arabia would help pave the way for a broader peace deal to end Europe’s biggest land war since World War Two.
The White House says an initial maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea would allow the free flow of shipping, though the area has not been the location of intense military operations in recent months.
There Are More than Two Choices to Protect Paris Mountain
- Details
- By Emily S. Poole - Greenville, SC
Safeguarding Paris Mountain from reckless and environmentally destructive development remains a top priority for Greenville County residents.
As we learn more about the Inn at Altamont project that soon is expected to be submitted to the city of Travelers Rest, one talking point from developer Krut Patel of the Divine Group and other hotel supporters is this: If plans to construct a hotel fall through, they might instead build nearly 800 apartments on the site.
This has many anxiously wondering which of the two choices — a new hotel or apartments — would be worse.
This is an age-old tactic used by developers who want nothing more than to maximize their own profit. When the public mobilizes to oppose harmful development projects, the developer often then presents another, even more destructive idea and then asks the public to pick between them. The developer’s goal is to make the public consider an option worse than the first so that the public gravitates toward the original plan.

For nearly a decade, Democrats have campaigned on little more than the message that President Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler reincarnated. Although Trump won both the electoral and popular votes in November, effectively having been given a mandate from the American people to govern the nation, the old cries of “Dictator!” may soon be heard again from the progressive corners of the nation — unless the U.S. Supreme Court steps in and averts a rapidly approaching constitutional crisis.

(Worthy News)—A spokesperson for the State Department expressed optimism that the end of the war in Ukraine could be imminent, saying on Thursday that Ukraine and Russia are “just a breath away from a full ceasefire” after three years of conflict.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told anchor Nichole Berlie on ‘NewsNation Now,’ “We are just a breath away from a full ceasefire, and then we can begin to talk about not just peace for a week or six months but an enduring peace that the people of Ukraine and Russia and the world can rely on. That is what America has helped facilitate, and that’s what we’re continuing to do each day.”

Confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominee to be U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has been held up in the Senate. Word now is that hearings will be held next week.
What's holding things up? Pressure from Democrats, of course.
If anyone is qualified to be America's ambassador to Israel, it is Mike Huckabee. As the former two-term governor of Arkansas, where his daughter Sarah is the current governor, former Republican presidential candidate, cable TV celebrity, Baptist minister, and Evangelical Christian, Huckabee is a perfect candidate.

Nation ‘passed through valley of shadow of death’ says aid worker as families return to abandoned homes in war zone
SPRINGFIELD, Penn. — Thousands of families who fled Hezbollah’s deadly rocket attacks in war-torn northern Israel are considering returning home this month as a fragile ceasefire with Hamas collapsed in Gaza on Tuesday.
More than 60,000 Israelis were forced to abandon their homes in the north and relocate, leaving behind virtual ghost towns. Now some are looking to return, but the Gaza ceasefire collapse creates more uncertainty about stability on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon.

"I would like to ask you a question regarding 'defeating the New World Order' and the satanic agendas associated with them. God's Word prophesied this would come, and I have known about it since I was saved in 1974, but my question is: now that we are on the brink of so many apparent diabolical machinations, and Trump is fighting so many battles to erase the evil in our government how are We the People to respond? It doesn't sound like we are able or can defeat the NWO but only can resist it even until to death. Have I missed something? The question troubles me a lot because I want to be obedient to Him...anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this troublesome issue. Thank you, Sir."

Apart from Donald Trump, no one is more unpopular among Democrats right now than the Senate’s Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). The longtime leader infuriated his party Friday, surrendering on the government shutdown and handing Republicans a victory that can only be described as miraculous. Not only was his decision to cave after days of tough talk a shock, it’s also making Schumer the target of “volcanic anger” in his own party. As one Democratic aide put it after the vote, “I’ve never seen anything like it in the time I’ve been in the Senate ...” And as far as conservatives are concerned, Schumer had it coming.
Sham Cease-Fires versus Lasting Peace

Ending the Bloodbath in Ukraine
I am an Air Force combat veteran of the Vietnam War. During the Vietnam War, President Lyndon Johnson declared 16 bombing halts to encourage the North Vietnamese to negotiate sincerely for peace. The North Vietnamese used all 16 of these bombing halts to build up and reinforce their manpower, munitions, and supplies to continue their invasion of South Vietnam. This included increasing the number and quality of antiaircraft guns and radar. Thus, Lyndon Johnson’s bombing halts resulted in a stronger enemy and increased U.S. and South Vietnamese casualties. USAF and Navy aircraft crews engaging new and improved North Vietnamese antiaircraft systems along the Ho Chi Minh Trail experienced as a consequence more losses and casualties. I suspect my own Purple Heart experience was related to intensified North Vietnamese antiaircraft tcapabilities following a bombing halt.
