IT WAS THE “OLD MUSIC” THAT HELPED TO MAKE AMERICA!
Those of you who have read my “ancient” columns in the now “extinct” newsprint version of The Times Examiner (from 1999 to July, 2018), and in its digital version since July of 2018, know how much I love classical music. But as I’ve said several times, I also enjoy other genres of music, particularly the “Big Band” music of the 1930’s and 1940’s (Glenn Miller and Guy Lombardo, especially). I like Dixie Land jazz, and I love the music and songs of George and Ira Gershwin, the music of Sigmund Romberg, and especially much of the wonderful music of Rogers and Hammerstein from their great Broadway musicals over many years. I adore the “old-timey” music of George M. Cohan, that “YankeeDoodle Dandy” who wrote hundreds of great songs for his musicals over the decades that stretched over the first half of the 20th century. And I love the music of the Christian Church, which is a musical genre all its own. All of this glorious music was written during the good old days when music was musical. Too bad that it isn’t so in our day and age, but it isn’t.
My Walk In the Wilderness

- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
In my last message, I began telling the story of how our ministry, Wisconsin Christian News came to be. How I initially fought God on the idea, how He continued to work to press me into service, until I finally accepted the mission He was calling me to.
But this is a three-part message, because there’s so much to share, and I was only able to give you the “back story” in part one — what I was doing when God called me to this work, and how I finally came to submit to His will. If you missed that message, you can find it on our website. I’m sharing this story because we’re now starting our 27th year of publication. “On paper,” there’s no way Wisconsin Christian News should ever have survived. But God made a way, and here we are, all these years later. So now, I’ll tell you about my walk in the wilderness.

There is a myriad of ways to take our property – and the “powers-that-be are using them and more that they just make up on the spot.
We’ve written about many in our Workbook, in Tom DeWeese’s Sustainable, and in scores of articles. And in more ways than most of us could ever conceive of an act being pulled-off, for instance killing hundreds of ostriches because a couple of years earlier two had been ill but recovered. In fact, the government of Canada had them shot! Another example is capturing” CO2 from atmosphere and compressing and storing it in geological formations. I won’t even get into what could go wrong or, even more, how absurd it is to take CO2 from the atmosphere where we and plants thrive on it.
Many people do not realize that “property” is more than land or a house. Your clothes, your written words, the food in your house and the gas in your car are your property. And your children. Don’t think those taking other forms of your property won’t touch your children.

IF FAITH FADES AWAY, FREEDOM WILL INVARIABLY DIE!
I am indebted to Joe Wolverton 11, J. D., Constitutional Law Scholar for The John Birch Society, for the inspiration to write this article, much of which mirrors or amplifies his wisdom as he expressed it in an article titled: “The Manger & The Republic”, published in the December, 2025 issue of “The New American” magazine, the best and most informative and TRUTHFUL magazine being published today (by American Opinion Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Birch Society). With apologies to other writers, past and present, I consider his article to be the most introspective, the most insightful, the most accurate and wise, and perhaps the most disturbing one I’ve read for many, many years. All of the “quotes” and ideas are from Joe’s article, in his own words or in my ‘amplification’ of his thoughts. When one confronts the wisdom distilled from experience and truth, further comments only serve to “nail down” that truth, and reinforce it. That’s what I’ll try to do in the words that follow.

American Costs and Risks in the Iran War
Unfiltered truth and analysis
In one of retired U.S. Army LCol. Daniel Davis’s YouTube podcasts on April 17, he summarized American costs since the second American and Israeli attack against Iran on February 28. The first attack, called the 12-day war, occurred between June 13-24, 2025, ending with a brokered ceasefire. Davis has established one of the most honest and thorough coverages of both the Ukraine and Iran War. He is a decorated combat veteran of the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War. He became an outspoken critic and “whistleblower” on the conduct of the Afghanistan War. Although he was nominated to be the Deputy Director of National Intelligence under Director Tusi Gabbard early in 2025, his nomination was essentially blocked by pressure from powerful Congressional and Trump donors associated with the American-Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC).
The Increasing Importance of Drone Warfare
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Lessons from Ukraine and the Middle East
Just as this article was about to be published on Sunday April 12, President Trump declared a U. S. Naval Blockade of the Iranian controlled Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. This immediately followed the failure of peace and cease-fire talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, to which Vice President J.D. Vance was to be the chief U.S. negotiator. Although I have confidence in Vance and was hopeful, the failure is exactly what I expected. The two sides are far apart and not inclined to reasonable compromise, so we are essentially left with escalating war. Moreover, Trump’s additional threat to have the U.S. Navy halt ships that have paid a toll to Iran was grievance enough for Iran to escalate its drone and missile warfare. In addition, Trumps’s threat to halt or board foreign ships in the Strait is waving a red flag in the face of China, which probably regards such an American move as piracy. There are several reports of increased Iranian drone attacks on Israel, but the fog and tension of war and inclinations to propaganda and censorship are blocking more news than usual. The escalation has already driven the price of West Texas Crude (WTC) up 8% to $104 per barrel. In stocks, the current Dow futures are down $383. Gasoline prices are moving back up.

This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think. I, personally, became deeply intrigued by the Titanic from the moment I learned of the story as a young child.
I believe this is one of those rare, historic events that provides a myriad of timeless lessons. The most obvious is the sinfulness of human pride and arrogance...clearly present in almost every aspect of the story.
April 18, 1689: The First American Revolution Begins!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
What? Didn’t It Begin on April 19, 1775? Maybe Not!
We all know that the first glorious Revolution of the British American colonies began on April 19, 1775, when the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” was fired on the hallowed public “Green” in Lexington, Massachusetts, a place I’ve walked on several times over the years. (It’s one of my very favorite places in the entire nation). Eight colonists were killed by the British Regulars that day, and ten were wounded. That’s when it started. Right? Then, it began to blossom a few hours later in Concord, Massachusetts, a few miles from Lexington, as our guys made a stand against that same group of British regulars at the Old NorthBridge, over which I’ve walked several times (the several times rebuilt bridge, that is). So April 19, 1775 is the day that our first American Revolution began. Everybody knows that (well, everybody used to know that, but today not everybody does know it).
Birthright Citizenship: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment
- Details
- By Hans A. von Spakovsky - Heritage Foundation
Heritage Foundation - What’s the citizenship status of the children of illegal aliens? That question has spurred quite a debate over the 14th Amendment lately, with the news that several states—including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina—may launch efforts to deny automatic citizenship to such children.
Critics claim that anyone born in the United States is automatically a U.S. citizen, even if their parents are here illegally. But that ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children.

A CBS/UGov poll ending March 20 found that 60% disapproved of military action against Iran and 40% approved it. However, 84% of Republicans supported it. A previous poll showed that a strong majority of Independent voters disapproved of military action against Iran.
What A Small Price to Pay
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
What does it mean to you to be a Christian? When you hear someone say they’re a “Christian,” what does that actually mean? Does it mean they attend a church on a regular basis? Does it mean they grew up in a Christian family and believe in God? Does it mean they once prayed a “sinner’s prayer” — perhaps as a child at summer camp? I ask these things because when people tell me they’re a “Christian,” I have to wonder, because “being a Christian” doesn’t seem to mean what it used to mean.

A POLITICAL INVESTIGATION (SORT OF)
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers; for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist, shall receive to themselves condemnation. For Magistrates are not to be feared for good works, but for evil. Wilt thou then be without fear of the power? Do well; so shalt thou have praise of the same. For he is the minister of God for thy wealth; but if thou do evil, fear, for he beareth the sword for nought; for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth evil.”
Romans 13:1-4, 1599 Geneva Bible
I don’t present myself as a Biblical scholar. But I do study God’s Holy and truthful Word often for my own betterment, and particularly when preparing articles for this great digital journal of truth, The Times Examiner. One of the parts of His Word that I have long been perplexed about is the first four verses of Romans 13. I find it confusing when trying to equate what my pastors over the years have told me that it meant, versus what I’ve been convinced it really means, based on the teaching of other pastors.
Show Me the Money -- The Trump Tax Cuts Benefit the Middle Class
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Democrats keep attacking President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 as a tax cut for the rich. But the data show that the average family gained roughly $2,000 on their lower tax bill for this year. Every Democrat in Congress voted no, even as they complain of a "middle-class affordability crisis." Maybe that's because to rich and famous limousine liberal Democrats, $2,000 is peanuts. But not for the rest of us.
The goal of the Trump tax cut was simple: Strengthen the economy with lower tax rates, and let working and retired Americans keep more of what they earn. The early evidence confirms this is exactly what has happened. Initial IRS data show that almost half of filers have already taken advantage of the bill's middle-income tax provisions.

Trump Agrees With Iran On Two-Week Ceasefire; Israel Still Intercepting Missiles

WASHINGTON/TEHRAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump said Tuesday he had agreed on a two-week ceasefire with Iran that would include Israel, though the Jewish nation continued intercepting missiles fired by Iran-backed forces.
He said the United States had received a 10-point proposal from Tehran. The announcement prompted oil prices to tumble, while financial markets welcomed the news, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures rising.
“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
When Columbia Passes Gas, the Cost Doesn’t Just Dissipate into Thin Air
- Details
- By James Spurck - Political Analysis
New transportation bills raise concerns about gas tax use, expanded spending, and whether SC lawmakers are drifting from past promises to taxpayers.
The South Carolina House Ways and Means Committee has advanced two major transportation bills, S.0831 and H.5071, moving them closer to a full House vote and setting off renewed debate over taxes, infrastructure funding, and legislative accountability.
Both S.0831 and H.5071 advanced out of committee, with both bills passing by a vote of 22 in favor, 2 opposed, and 1 not voting, signaling strong support despite growing opposition from fiscal conservatives and grassroots Republican activists.
At first glance, the vote may appear routine. But as more details emerge, critics argue the long-term effects may linger well beyond the initial legislative push, even after the initial explanation has already been clearly communicated.

As the almost 50-day partial shutdown drags on, travelers have definitely found some creative coping mechanisms for their long waits at U.S. airports. In Houston, one man went viral for walking up and down the security line with a vodka bottle, pouring shots for annoyed adults. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson brought in live entertainment, a violinist who was supposed to ease some of the tension. “[A] violin playing like on the deck of the Titanic. Is it that bad?” one passenger joked. And in Baltimore, volunteers passed out “pick-me-up snacks.” Now that TSA workers are finally getting paid, Americans’ aggravation is starting to subside — just not where Congress is concerned.
Supreme Court Strikes Down “Egregious” Colorado Censorship Law
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Today, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that removes the gag from the mouths of Christian counselors by upholding their First Amendment right to free speech.
This decision gives parents and children access to therapy that aligns with their personal and religious views. The Court struck down Colorado’s unconstitutional censorship law that prevented counselors from engaging in voluntary therapy that provides truthful information about bodily reality. The decision in Chiles v. Salazar reaffirms the important principle that counseling conversations are speech protected by the First Amendment. The Court’s 8-1 decision makes clear that “the First Amendment’s protections extend to licensed professionals much as they do everyone else.”
CatholicVote Urges Second Circuit to Protect Religious Freedom in Public Schools
- Details
- By CatholicVote
WASHINGTON — CatholicVote Education Fund (CVEF) has filed an amicus curiae brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in support of Marisol Arroyo-Castro, a public school teacher who was reassigned from her teaching position after displaying a small crucifix on her classroom desk. CVEF’s brief calls for the reversal of the District Court’s decision, which it argues undermines fundamental First Amendment rights to free speech and religious exercise.
The case centers on Ms. Castro, a Catholic and dedicated seventh-grade social studies teacher in Connecticut, who kept a 12-inch crucifix on her desk as a source of personal strength and a reminder of her faith. The school district deemed the crucifix to be government speech and ordered its removal, citing concerns about potential violations of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Ms. Castro was subsequently reassigned to a non-teaching administrative role, despite her 30 years of service and the district’s urgent need for social studies teachers.

From Vision to Reality: America Reads the Bible, April 18–25
WASHINGTON — A moment of inspiration inside the Museum of the Bible in 2024 has grown into a national gathering centered on Scripture during a milestone year in American history.
During that visit, Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, said she felt led to organize a public call to Bible reading and discipleship—an idea that has become America Reads the Bible.
From April 18–25, 2026, nearly 500 Christian leaders and 120 ministries will gather in Washington, D.C., for a continuous, week-long reading of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Hosted at the World Stage Theater inside the Museum of the Bible and livestreamed nationally on Great American Pure Flix, the event will launch two weeks after Easter, to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States.
