Sharp Drop in Christian Faith
Political Implications
St. Peter's Parrish Church near Talleysville, Virginia. Completed 1703. National Historic Register
A Pew Research Report released on October 17 found that the number of American adults who describe themselves as Christians has declined from 77 percent to 65 percent in a single decade. This research used surveys of 12,000 to 25,000 telephone respondents over more than a decade. In all, the Pew Research Report covered 88 surveys and nearly 169,000 American interviews.
Behind the Barbed Wire: China's Concentration Camps
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"I had to be strong. Every day when I woke up, I thanked God that I was still alive." --Sayragul Sauytbay, Uyghur
There are harrowing stories -- and then there are the stories that seep deep into our bones. Sayragul Sauytbay's is the kind you don't forget. Her survival in China's concentration camps isn't just a miracle -- it's a warning that true darkness has settled over parts of the East. The most excruciating forms of torture are happening behind barbed wire walls that Beijing has tried hiding. And for the million people trapped inside, the only hope they have to escape their tormentors is international attention and pressure.
Annie Moore From Ireland, Who Was All Of 17 Years
- By W.H. Lamb
One of the most divisive issues facing Americans today is the issue of immigration into the U.S. – most especially the truly troubling ILLEGAL variety of immigration! For decades, and probably much longer, we have been faced with the specter of hordes of “undocumented” invaders crossing over our borders, or overstaying their visas, for sundry purposes -- ostensibly to seek a better life for themselves and their children and become “WELFARE LEECHES” but, in some cases, to infiltrate their poisonous hatred of our relatively free American culture into our body politic, as they seek to extend their insane and Satanically-induced Islamic beliefs and violence from their own despotic countries into ours.
SC Handing Out Incentives to Companies that Lay Off Workers, Close Plants
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In announcing in April that DHL Supply Chain, a global logistics company, would locate a $100 million distribution and warehouse park in Dorchester County, Gov. Henry McMaster in a prepared statement said he couldn’t “wait to see what the future holds for this great company here.”
The Totalitarian American Left
- By David Limbaugh
The left is becoming more unapologetically totalitarian every day. Every freedom-loving American should be alarmed.
From hounding conservatives out of restaurants to spitting on Trump supporters at rallies, from firing employees for politically incorrect statements to fining people for "misgendering" a person, the left is on a path toward absolutism.

US in Moral Decline
- By Walter Williams
Last week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr told a University of Notre Dame Law School audience that attacks on religious liberty have contributed to a moral decline that's in part manifested by increases in suicides, mental illness and drug addiction. Barr said that our moral decline is not random but "organized destruction." Namely that "Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values."
Venezuela Given Seat on UN Human Rights Council — One More Reason to Get US Out!
- By Bob Adelmann - The New American
Thursday’s vote to give notorious human rights abuser Venezuela a seat on the UN Human Rights Council is indicative of the corrupt nature not only of the Human Rights Council, but of the UN itself.
One-hundred five members voted to give Maduro’s socialist regime a seat among 46 other members on the Council.
Time for the Press to Do Its Job
- By Tucker Carlson & Neil Patel
The press hates Donald Trump. That's not a newsflash. The bias the press shows toward most Republicans turns to outright hostility when it comes to Trump. Once you've convinced yourself your opponent is an evil racist, it's not hard to justify doing anything you can to stop him. Many in the press corps have admitted this. Most haven't, but it's definitely the prevalent attitude in the dominant liberal media. How can we have a fair election in this environment? That question is coming to a head now with regard to Joe Biden and his son's alleged corruption.
Sitting ATOP the Seven Mountains
- By Ben Graydon
Some time back, I came across the 7 Mountain idea, a.k.a. the 7 Mountain Theology, which posits that there are seven “mountains” of societal influence: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment, and Business. Some would hold that “religion” is the one that contains God and so, therefore, it should dominate over the others. (We see how well that has worked out every time it’s been tried.) But the bottom line is that all seven (except Family), in their institutional formats, are the creations of men, and that – to the extent that reality and truth exists in each one – God is in them ALL.
Is Putin the New King of the Middle East?
- By Pat Buchanan
"Russia Assumes Mantle of Supreme Power Broker in the Middle East," proclaimed Britain's Telegraph. The article began:
"Russia's status as the undisputed power-broker in the Middle East was cemented as Vladimir Putin continued a triumphant tour of capitals traditionally allied to the US."
"Donald Trump Has Handed Putin the Middle East on a Plate" was the title of a Telegraph column. "Putin Seizes on Trump's Syria Retreat to Cement Middle East Role," said the Financial Times.

Long Legislative Tradition of Putting Ex-colleagues, Relatives in High-Paying Public Jobs
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The possibility that two more ex-lawmakers could join the state Public Service Commission – with six-figure salaries – highlights a longstanding tradition of legislators giving well-paying jobs to their former colleagues, relatives and friends.
On Friday, the six-legislator, 10-member State Regulation of Public Utilities Review Committee (PURC), which nominates PSC candidates for election in the General Assembly, announced candidates who applied for four of seven PSC seats to be filled next year.

Beltway Bidenspawn-Ship Has Its Privileges
- By Michelle Malkin
I wrote the book on the Obama administration's "Culture of Corruption" 10 years ago, including a thick and sordid chapter on the Beltway swamp creatures of the Biden family. See-no-evil liberals scoffed at my catalogue of back-scratching, shady Delaware deals and Wall Street funny money: What nepotism? What ethical lapses? What corruption?
Baby-Sitting Is Not a Job of Government
- By Anne Schlafly Cori, Chairman, Eagle Forum
What happened to conservatives who used to be both socially conservative and fiscally conservative? They seem to have lost their way on the empty promise of “paid family leave.” America should not and cannot afford to burden future generations with a new massive spending program and an expansion of government at the expense of families.
Is the Interventionists' Era Over for Good?
- By Pat Buchanan
President Donald Trump could have been more deft and diplomatic in how he engineered that immediate pullout from northeastern Syria.
Yet that withdrawal was as inevitable as were its consequences.
A thousand U.S. troops and their Kurdish allies were not going to dominate indefinitely the entire northeast quadrant of a country the size of Syria against the will of the Damascus regime and army.
To All Who Sit In Seats of Power

You may think you’re pretty smart,
That you alone are in command.
You may feel within your heart
That no one can against you stand.

Values Voter Summit 2019: One for the History Books
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
At "a crucial moment in our nation's history," conservative Christians traveled from across America -- and around the globe -- to gather in Washington D.C. for the 14th annual Values Voter Summit. President Trump, who spoke to the capacity crowd Saturday night at the Omni Shoreham, told the attendees that "our shared values are under assault like never before." Enlightening speakers and informative panel discussions filled the weekend, providing plenty of context to President Trump's declaration!
Don't worry if you weren't able to join us -- each of the informative and encouraging sessions is just a click away. And be sure to watch the prayer that Pastor Andrew Brunson, who we recognized this year with our Cost of Discipleship Award, prayed over President Trump.
