The Danger in Boasting of “Chariots and Horses”
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a North African (Algerian) Bishop of Hippo Regius during the latter years of the Roman Empire. He was a theologian and philosopher whose prolific writings profoundly shaped Western Christianity and philosophy. He was influenced by Bishop Ambrose of Millan and the writings of Roman Senator Cicero (106 to 43 BC) but was the first to elaborate rigorous criteria for a just war and just conduct in war and policing appropriate for Christian participation without any reservation or shame.
Augustine outlined three main criteria for a just war: It must be initiated by properly constituted authority; it must be for a just cause; and it must be conducted by just means. In the United States, the properly constituted authority is established by the U.S. Constitution as Congress. Properly constituted authorities must decide these issues on behalf of the citizens. Augustine emphasized that these authorities are also ultimately accountable to God and therefore the teaching of Scripture. Thomas Acquinas (1225-1274) and many others since have attempted to flesh out a more comprehensive Just War Theory, but the tragedy of war always generates many ethical loose ends.
The Statue of Liberty Asks: What Have You Done to America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Before I begin this plunge into the heart of corrupted liberal dogma, let me state for the record that I am not against a degree of legal, restricted, and needful immigration, because Americans are dangerously below their replacement level of new births of legal American citizens. The vast majority of Americans living today had ancestors who emigrated from some other country and into the U.S. in the past. I am one of them, for both my maternal grandfather and grandmother came, LEGALLY, from the country of Croatia well over a hundred years ago (in the early 1900’s), and I’m grateful that they did. America has been peopled by, and generally benefited from, immigrants who came here from mostly European countries (with some exceptions) over much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, after which time almost all immigration was halted by the U.S. government (in 1924) for a time.
Religious Discrimination Case Against University of AZ Can Proceed
- Details
- By Liberty Counsel
TUCSON, Az. — The U.S. District Court in Arizona ruled former ethics Professor Daniel Grossenbach can proceed with his religious discrimination lawsuit against the University of Arizona, which unlawfully fired him for his parental rights advocacy and religious speech. Grossenbach’s lawsuit contends that the university did not renew his contract in November 2023 after receiving anonymous complaints about his advocacy against secretive gender policies at local school board meetings where his children attend school, which is not at all affiliated with the university.
The Art of The Deal
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
Historically Donald Trump comes into a challenge and changes all to create an economic success for those participating. The odious leverage Iran had influenced the world’s economy via oil supplements through the Strait of Hormuz is over! Iran can no longer dictate passage and costs through Hormuz or dictate the price of oil. Approximately 25% of the world’s oil flows through the two-mile stretch at the Strait. When Iran either closed or threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz the cost of oil climbed incredibly internationally, and the spike would be felt from major industry down to the local gas pump.
As in all transactions, Trump, once Iran is settled and no longer the “school yard bully” the Strait of Hormuz will be secure and coordinated by a coalition of allied nations which will also have a sophisticated security force to keep the Straight open and profitable across the globe.
Is Atheism a Religion?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the arguments frequently used against creation science is that it is just religion. One common answer to this is that the entire Big Bang to man story is just as religious because it is fundamentally atheistic. The response to this is that atheism is not a religion; therefore, the claim is wrong.
Before going on, it is important to note that the reason for stating that the Big Bang-to-man story is fundamentally atheistic is that it is fundamentally based on philosophical naturalism. Philosophical naturalism is fundamentally atheistic, as it holds that material reality is all there is. This means that any theory that is based on philosophical naturalism is itself fundamentally atheistic.

Arizona’s Hidden Red Flag Law? Courts Accused of Secret Gun Confiscation Scheme
- Details
- By Catching Fire News
What if your rights could be taken… without a law ever being passed?
In this explosive interview, Kathleen Marquart sits down with Arizona activist Mike Palmer to uncover what he claims is a hidden red flag system operating through court rules—not legislation. Palmer argues that judges are bypassing lawmakers, using civil procedures to strip citizens of their firearms without due process or criminal charges.
From ex parte hearings and low evidentiary standards to real-world cases of alleged abuse, this conversation dives deep into how “red flag laws” may already exist where officials say they don’t—and what that could mean for property rights, constitutional protections, and the future of the Second Amendment.
Beware the Fake News — On Both Sides
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
I was recently contacted by one of our readers of Wisconsin Christian News, and asked to report on the devastation of families caused by fake news. Specifically, regarding “Q Anon.” This man told me about a family that he and his wife were close to, that was torn apart because the wife followed Q Anon posts “religiously,” watching videos of “Q” from the moment she got up in the morning until bedtime, and even following “Q” videos with headphones while in bed.
Initially, I admit, I found this hard to believe, as I was pretty sure that “Q” had been entirely debunked and lost all it’s followers after the 2020 election. In fact, by 2021, most of the social media platforms had removed “Q” completely. So, I didn’t know it was even still a “thing.”
It’s Not Just About Crime: What the Attorney General Debate in Pickens Revealed

Attorney General candidates outline sharply different priorities
PICKENS COUNTY — Republican candidates for South Carolina Attorney General offered contrasting visions for the state’s top legal office during a debate in Pickens County, with discussions ranging from violent crime and child protection to government overreach, corruption, and the limits of prosecutorial authority.
The forum featured candidates including David Stumbo, David Pascoe, and Stephen Goldfinch, who fielded questions on law enforcement strategy, federal and state relations, and their qualifications to serve as the state’s chief prosecutor and legal officer.
While candidates aligned on several core Republican positions, the debate revealed meaningful differences in how each would approach and execute the responsibilities of the office.

The Need for Facts and Biblical Clarity in the Iran War
Amalek is listed as a grandson of Esau in the book of Genesis. The Amalekites were first noted in the book of Exodus for their unprovoked ambushes and attacks against the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. The first century Roman general and Jewish scholar and historian Josephus refers to Amalek as one born of an incestuous or forbidden relationship. The Amalekites were a semi-nomadic people located on the southern edge of Canaan in an area called Kadesh near the Negeb Desert and the Sinai Peninsula. They became the perennial enemy of Israel, and because they declared constant war against Israel became an enemy of God. They became to Israel a symbol of the very essence of evil.
Who's Afraid of a Trillionaire?

Early this year, we learned that Elon Musk may become the first trillionaire in world history.
My friends on the left of the political spectrum have been fuming about this story as the ultimate example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting crumbs.
When I appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" not long ago, Bill questioned me about the prospect of Musk becoming a trillionaire. "Isn't that excessive?" he asked.
Mars Isn’t the Only “Red” Planet

- By W.H. Lamb
“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” ISAIAH 40:22 (New International Version Bible).
Yes, I know. Mars has long been called the “Red Planet”. That’s its apparent color seen through telescopes, because of the large amounts of iron oxide dust in its thin mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere. Over past decades we’ve also seen some phenomenal pictures of the surface of Mars from the various NASA “ROVERS”, (Sojourner-1996, Spirit-2003, Opportunity-2003, Curiosity-2011, Perseverance-2020), those intrepid little wheeled robot explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of the surface of Mars over 220 million or more miles back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might have commented: “Fascinating”!
Greenville County Food Trump Ordinance Update
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Over the past several months I’ve received a number of questions from residents and business owners about the new Greenville County food truck ordinance and whether anything is being done yet.
The ordinance was approved by County Council in December 2025 to create clearer and more consistent rules for how mobile food units operate in the county. The goal was not to eliminate food trucks, but to address safety concerns and ensure a level playing field between mobile vendors and brick-and-mortar restaurants.

- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
We are living in a time of wars and advent of additional wars; one country is fighting against another country then another joins and then still another. People are losing their lives and properties, and economic collapse, hunger, and starvation were beginning to be less and less only to see a rebound. Many are afraid for their lives or at least stressed over the lifestyle they knew and appears slipping away. While President Trump has brought evidence of positive change and hope it equally appears forces of darkness are strenuously opposed to any good or positive he does. Political forces of darkness have joined hands to gut any and all changes he has accomplished to help bring a light back to America.

After much pressure from the grassroots and President Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) announced he will bring the SAVE America Act (S. 1383) to the floor this week. This bill will require individuals to show proof of American citizenship when registering to vote and a photo identification at the voting booth for federal elections. In addition, states must ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote and purge their voter rolls of any non-citizens.

His plan to cut programs for the gifted and talented should incentivize parents to implement home schools or micro-schools to get their kids out of failed government institutions
Parents in New York City are reportedly up in arms over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to cut gifted programs in government schools.
The good news, according to United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), is that it’s boosting interest in private schooling. “New York Magazine reported that the private school application process prompts parents to network and put their children through ‘intensive’ tutoring,” FOX News reported.

Wilson – “We're going to be like Michael Jordan”
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
After stumping recently at a private gathering, the busy Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Alan Wilson graciously gave the Times Examiner a couple of minutes before rushing off to his next appointment of the day.
Wilson said of Jordan, the famous basketball player, “What made him so good is he was always taking the shots.” He told of how basketball fans remember all the “buzzer-beater” shots that Jordan took during his career that won the game but that what is not remembered is the multitude of shots he took that did not swoosh through the net.
Wilson, who said he plans to play to win, wants to be like Jordan. “We're going to take chances. We're going to be aggressive in our policies and we're going to do things the state hasn't seen before. We're going to be like Michael Jordan. We;re going to take so many shots and we're going to win so many games.”
Senator Hawley Introduces the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act
- Details
- By Sarah Holliday - The Washington Stand
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took to the podium Wednesday in the Senate Judiciary hearing room to deliver a clear message: the abortion pill mifepristone isn’t just risky — it’s “inherently dangerous.” And it’s up to Congress to regulate it.
At a press conference, the Missouri senator unveiled his new legislation, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. This bill seeks to strip mifepristone — the drug responsible for the majority of U.S. abortions — of its longstanding approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to recent data from the Guttmacher Institute, chemical abortions made up 63% of all abortions in 2023, with the trend only accelerating in the years since.
Eagle Forum Supports ‘Detransitioners’ On Detrans Awareness Day
- Details
- By Press Release
Today, we acknowledge and support those victims of the radical gender ideologues who have survived the horrific procedures of so-called “gender affirming care” and have instead chosen to align with their biological sex, or ‘detransition.’
The sad truth is that vulnerable children and their parents are being deceived by doctors and transgender activists who tell them that the treatment for their mental issues is to mutilate their bodies. Many have been told that stopping puberty, injecting dangerous, cross-sex hormones, and cutting off their genitals will cure their depression and body dysmorphia and also prevent suicide. Studies have shown that this is not the case. A nine-year study in Germany showed that two out of three children who struggle with gender dysphoria will outgrow those feelings within five years. Another study performed by the National Institutes of Health showed that those who undergo transgender procedures have a higher risk of suicide.
S.960: Establishment Aims To Gag SC Watchdogs
- Details
- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
A bill that would threaten the effectiveness of watchdogs in South Carolina was filed on February 26, 2026 and began moving almost immediately. It appears that Senate leadership has not taken too kindly to our efforts to hold them accountable and decided to file S.960.
The significance of the date this bill was filed was not lost on us as it was the same day S.897, a bill authored by democrat lawyer-legislator Margie Bright Matthews that would eliminate religious exemption for the MMR vaccine, was scheduled for a hearing. Thanks to our and other watchdog group efforts, this bill did not move out of subcommittee.
Now, state senators are attempting to make sure we cannot do that again. Specifically, Senators Sean Bennett, Greg Hembree, Luke Rankin, Ross Turner, Chip Campsen, and Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey.
Exclusive - Video Clip of Coach Lou Holtz’s Personal Plan to Restore America's Moral Values

- By Thomas More Law Center
(To see the 3-minute video excerpts of his speech, click here.)
ANN ARBOR — The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) will always have a special relationship with Coach Lou Holtz ever since he spoke to us on our fifth anniversary in 2004. We mourn his loss as he passed away March 4, 2026.
On December 10, 2004, Lou Holtz traveled to Michigan from his home in Florida to help celebrate TMLC’s fifth anniversary as a nonprofit public interest law firm. The Law Center was still in its infancy. Lou Holtz was already considered a legend in the sports world and garnered thousands of dollars for his speeches. Yet he charged TMLC nothing for his appearance.
In a 37-minute speech filled with wit and wisdom that evening, TMLC supporters saw a man of deep Catholic belief express his devotion to family, faith, and our Nation’s founding principles as the answer to the chaos caused by the culture war.
‘Jesus Wells’ Campaign Focuses on ‘World’s Thirstiest Communities

- By Infinity Concepts
WILLS POINT, Texas — A chronic shortage of safe drinking water is fueling a deadly global health emergency — but a new grassroots initiative could help save thousands of lives.
Faith-based nonprofit agency GFA World (www.gfa.org) — a leader in implementing community water projects in Asia and Africa — has launched a month-long campaign to provide 125 new “Jesus Wells” in some of the world’s thirstiest places.
It coincides with World Water Day on March 22, an annual awareness event.
The new wells, costing around $1,600 each, could help transform the lives of more than 37,000 people facing a desperate day-to-day struggle to find clean drinking water, the Texas-based organization says.
Feminists Push Extreme Causes in the Name of Women
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Sunday, March 8th, was heralded as International Women’s Day. Many groups, businesses, and individuals took to social media to celebrate womanhood, but with a feminist flair. Gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and abortion were topics on display. When you dig deeper, IWD is more than a day — it’s a collaboration of dark groups, corporations, and a global entity that pushes this ideology into countries. So, how did this day become an international sensation? Who funds this agenda? And are they truly celebrating women?
A Simple Question: Does the North Carolina Board of Elections have to Follow the North Carolina Constitution?
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
A simple answer: yes.
So, what is the problem? It, too, is very simple: a woman who wears a burqa and purports to be a Republican, is running for a seat in the State Senate (no Republican had tossed their hat in the ring in this heavily Democrat state).
Why do I find this outrageous? Because it is blatantly obvious that the woman is not a conservative, is obviously not a God-fearing person, and is doing it to get into further desecrate our laws.
What validates my words?
The North Carolina Board of Elections must follow the North Carolina Constitution, as it outlines the structure of government and the rules by which laws and policies operate, including those related to elections and voting. This ensures that elections are conducted lawfully and fairly in accordance with constitutional provisions.
Chimpanzee and Human Y Chromosome Comparison
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
According to evolutionists, they are our closest cousins on their imaginary tree of life. While it is true that humans and chimpanzees share a lot of DNA, this is to be expected, as they use the same genetic code.
Even with separate creations by God, as long as he is using a single genetic code, there will be genetic similarities among different kinds. One of the big misconceptions that is claimed as evidence for common descent is the presupposition that an independent origin, even a divine one, would result in totally different genetic languages. However, this is not necessarily true, particularly if you are designing organisms that can eat the same foods. It turns out, however, that comparisons of the human and chimpanzee Y chromosomes reveal significant differences that tend to contradict the idea of a common ancestor.
