Ohio Becomes 23rd State to Protect Minors from the Transgender Industry
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
The bellwether state of Ohio has become the 23rd state to protect children from transgender injections and surgeries, and the 24th to safeguard fairness and privacy in women’s sports, as lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to override the Republican governor’s veto. Yet Democratic opponents claimed Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ would have supported transgender surgeries for kids, a transgender activist changed the words of a Christian hymn to support transgender surgeries, and liberals likened withholding cross-sex hormones from children to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Contact Your State Legislators about Key Legislative Issues
- By The John Birch Society
With 2024 getting underway, the legislatures of 46 states (except for Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Texas) are convening to begin new legislative sessions.
State legislatures are just as important as Congress — if not even more so — in protecting and restoring our individual, God-given freedoms. This year, legislatures across the nation will be debating bills on topics as diverse as nullification, Agenda 2030, election integrity, an Article V constitutional convention, and so much more.
Christians in North Africa Face 'New Year of Persecution'
- By SAT-7 USA
As Algeria shutters evangelical churches, U.S. organization says 2024 will be 'very difficult'
'PERSECUTION IS A CROWN WE WEAR': Christians in North Africa face a "new year of persecution" that is intensifying in the shadow of the Holy Land conflict, says Middle East media ministry SAT-7 USA (www.sat7usa.org).
EASTON, Md. -- Christians in North Africa, where less than 1% of the population follows Christianity, are facing a new year of escalating persecution in the shadow of the Holy Land conflict.
There are only a handful of evangelical churches still open in Algeria, where the government is raiding and systematically shutting down Christian places of worship, according to faith-based media organization SAT-7 USA (www.sat7usa.org), which has broadcast studios in North Africa and the Middle East.
Who Do Elected Representatives Think They're Representing?
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
How is it possible that someone is talented and involved enough to run for political office and win the election – but once in office, has no clue of the origins or purpose behind the very policies they are forced to consider? Specifically, policies dealing with comprehensive planning, such as Smart Growth, 30×30 land issues, energy, and transportation, all of which affect day-to- day life in the community. These are the issues that every city council and county commission in the nation is now faced with imposing on the community.
Georgia Right to Life Announces Georgia Stand for Life Event
- By Christian Newswire
ATLANTA -- Georgia Right to Life's annual event, Georgia Stand for Life Memorial Service, March, and Rally will take place on Friday, January 26, 2024, 11:30 a.m. at Liberty Plaza. Previously known as Georgia March for Life, this long-standing event is a memorial to the lives of more than 64 million preborn children whose lives were taken by abortion since 1973 and an opportunity for those who advocate for life to be encouraged and educated in their continuing efforts to bring equal protection to children in the womb in Georgia. While the name of the event has changed, the focus remains—to bring public awareness to the issue of abortion and the millions who are missing from our society as a result. This annual event has been held for more than 40 years.
SC Freedom Caucus Response to the State of the State
- By Press Release
Tonight, SC Governor Henry McMaster laid out his vision for the upcoming year and highlighted his administration’s successes in his annual State of the State address. In response, our Chairman, Adam Morgan (Greenville) delivered our view of the state of the State.
Notably, the Governor’s speech made no mention of the ongoing war being waged against conservative legislators in the General Assembly. Not only were Freedom Caucus members ousted from the House Republican Caucus last year, but earlier this month “Republican” House leadership was caught joining Democrats in begging lobbyists to fund candidates against the SC Freedom Caucus. This kind of blatant cronyism from the Uniparty must be quashed and condemned by all true Republicans.
The Family of Terri Schiavo Applauds Actor Kevin James for Defending Life
- By Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, a non-profit Terri's family established in her memory, wants to extend a heartfelt thanks to Kevin James for speaking on behalf of persons with brain injuries. In his new Amazon Prime stand-up comedy special "Irregardless," James asserts that only God should decide when life ends.
Bobby Schindler, president of the Life & Hope Network and Terri's brother, stated, "It is refreshing to hear someone in Hollywood speak on behalf of our medically defenseless, especially in this pro-death culture. Indeed, we have been desensitized to the dignity of those living with brain injures like Terri, the elderly, and others in medically vulnerable situations where choosing death is now the solution to treating these persons – a false and deceitful excuse for so-called 'compassion.' It is encouraging that in this cancel culture, a well-respected celebrity with an enormous fan base dares to speak the truth and that it should only be our Divine Creator who decides when a person's life ends."
Conservatives Try to Thwart Bad Immigration Reforms
- By Eagle Forum
Bad Border Deal
One thing you can never trust on Capitol Hill is a promised deadline. The Senate has been working on border security provisions to combine with supplemental aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The House-passed Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2) should have given Senators an excellent place to start negotiations. However, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s lead negotiator, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), may have negotiated away too much to the Democrats already.
Embracing Economic Freedom: Lessons from Javier Milei's World Economic Forum Address
- By Veronique de Rugy
In a thrilling address at the World Economic Forum, Javier Milei, President of Argentina, presented a robust defense of capitalism and a critical examination of all forms of collectivism. His speech, rich in historical context and economic analysis, offers some vital lessons that are particularly relevant for today's globalized economy. Sadly, these lessons have long been ignored by American politicians on the right and left, whether in Washington or on the campaign trail.
Milei began with a stark warning about the dangers of collectivist policies based on Argentina's own, sometimes sad, history. Once a beacon of prosperity under a capitalist framework, Argentina's shift toward collectivism over the past century caused its prosperity to plummet from a leading global position to a much lower rank. Its story illustrates how losing sight of free-market principles can result in economic stagnation or even absolute poverty.
Public School Exit Takes Message to Mar-a-Lago
- By Public School Exit
DEL MAR, Calif. -- America's leader in biblical worldview education, Public School Exit (PSE), is planning an event at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where it will highlight its message on how the nation's K-12 public education system is failing our students.
Hollywood actress and education freedom advocate, Sam Sorbo, will moderate PSE's educational luncheon at Mar-a-Lago on March 21, 2024.
"We are absolutely thrilled that someone of Sam's stature has offered to be the moderator," comments Dran Reese, Chief Executive Officer of Public School Exit. "Sam sees how broken the institutional system is and wants to help us fix it."
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 5
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One strong piece of evidence for Biblical creation that came out of the RATE project. Part of this project involved testing a very important assumption of radiometric dating. The assumption tested was that atomic decay rates are constant for each isotope. This is an important experiment because if nuclear decay rates were greatly accelerated at any time in the past radiometric dating would be completely invalid.
The research started with radioactive uranium isotopes and their decay products measured in the zircon crystals found in granite. The key to testing The assumption of radiometric dating is the diffusion rate of helium out of zircon crystals based on the amount a radiometric decay that has been estimated to have occurred in the subsequent helium produced over the amount of time that the crystals have existed. The scientists doing this research created models based on both time periods. One was a uniform rate of decay over the approximately 1 1/2 billion years that zircons were dated to. The other was 2 periods of accelerated nuclear decay during the Biblical time scale. These two events would have been during the creation week and the genesis flood.
BJU Seminary Holds CoRE Conference

BJU Seminary will hold its annual CoRe Conference Jan. 29-31 on the BJU campus.
The theme of the conference, “The Return of Hope: Dealing with Depression in the Church,” will explore the topic of depression and suicide, specifically how to counsel those struggling within the church. Breakout sessions will address forgiveness, despair, anxiety and handling losses biblically.
The Assassination of Donald Trump and The Revenge of MAGA
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
They can't stop him by concocted sex and Russia-collusion charges, by two impeachments, by election theft, by the unprecedented and criminal home invasion of an American president, by endless bogus lawsuits, or by de-balloting.
Like an irrepressible and indefatigable figure from Greek legend, attacks on his MAGA movement and persecution of his person and family have made Trump ever stronger and ever more popular. So, that leaves Rasputinesque assassination as the only option left for the desperate Dems.
And, if and when Trump is assassinated -- probably sometime this election year -- America will explode.
WHO Chief: Nations Must ‘Counteract Conservative Opposition’ to Abortion, Promote Transgenderism
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A global government body has told nations it is “imperative” that they “counteract conservative opposition” and “enact progressive laws” that legalize prostitution and intentionally infect people with AIDS. At the same time, the international body has indicated it plans to roll out guidelines normalizing transgender cross-sex hormone injections worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) ushered in 2024 with a bulletin titled “Advancing the ‘sexual’ in sexual and reproductive health and rights: a global health, gender equality and human rights imperative,” co-written by WHO’s director-general, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, a former associate of Ethiopia’s repressive Marxist government.
Social Security: A Broken Socialist Dinosaur
- By Star Parker
It seems many still harbor, or want to perpetuate, the illusion that our Social Security system is not in trouble.
Let me quote here from a press release from the Social Security Administration released March 31, 2023:
"The Social Security Board of Trustees today released its annual report on the financial status of the Social Security Trust Funds. The combined asset reserves of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASI and DI) Trust Funds are projected to become depleted in 2034, one year earlier than projected last year, with 80% of benefits payable at that time."
Far Left Democrat Judge Coming to SC?
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Another Black Eye on the Republican Supermajority
The way South Carolina selects judges is rife with corruption and conflicts of interests—lawyer legislators handpick the very judges they argue cases in front of and ballots are counted in secret by legislators to avoid on the record votes.
Sadly, time and time again, those judges are liberals who legislate from the bench despite the fact that Republicans hold supermajorities in both Chambers. Even more surprisingly, these judges are often spouses, immediate family members, or law partners of sitting legislators—or even former legislators themselves.
So who is the establishment’s top pic for judge this time? Former Democrat lawyer-legislator and former Democratic Party nominee for governor James Smith.
The REAL Story of the Two Americas
- By Stephen Moore
For the past 30 years or so, the Left has invented a narrative that there are two Americas: a group of very super-rich people (the one-percenters) who have prospered over the past several decades, and everyone else who has gotten poorer. It's a fairy-tale narrative because almost all Americans have seen financial progress. The median household income adjusted for inflation rose by more than 40% since 1984.
Prosperity isn't an "us vs. them" zero-sum game. A rising tide really does lift all boats.
But there really are two Americas today. First, there are the cultural and overeducated snobs -- the kind of people who religiously read The New York Times, drive electric vehicles, wear Harvard or Yale sweaters, and have never even heard of NASCAR or eaten at Popeyes or ridden a John Deere tractor.
State Corporate Income Tax Rates and Brackets, 2024
- By Tax Foundation
Key Findings
- Forty-four states levy a corporate income tax. Top rates range from a 2.5 percent flat rate in North Carolina to a 9.8 percent top marginal rate in Minnesota.
- Four states—Alaska, Illinois, Minnesota, and New Jersey—levy top marginal corporate income tax rates of 9 percent or higher.
- Twelve states—Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah—have top rates at or below 5 percent.
- Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Washington impose gross receipts taxes instead of corporate income taxes. Delaware, Oregon, and Tennessee impose gross receipts taxes in addition to their corporate income taxes. Some localities in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia likewise impose gross receipts taxes, which are generally understood to be more economically harmful than corporate income taxes.
- South Dakota and Wyoming are the only states that levy neither a corporate income nor gross receipts tax.
Corporate income taxes are levied in 44 states. Though often thought of as a major tax type, corporate income taxes accounted for only 7.07 percent of state tax collections and 3.32 percent of state general revenue in fiscal year (FY) 2021. And while these figures are not high, they represent a substantial increase over prior years. Corporate income taxes accounted for 2.27 percent of general revenue in FY 2020, which is more in line with historical norms.
Reviewing the Immigration Disaster
- By Mike Scruggs
Congressional Immigration Grades for NC and SC
According to the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR), illegal immigrants were costing American taxpayers $182.1 billion per year at the beginning of 2023. These illegal immigrants contribute only $31.4 billion in federal, state, and local taxes paid, leaving American taxpayers with a net cost of $150.7 billion per year. Also according to FAIR, there were 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the U.S at the beginning of 2022, and President Biden’s unlawful Open Border policy has added another 6.0 million in just two years, bringing it to 21.5 million. Many knowledgeable immigration scholars believe illegal immigrants may now number well over 30 million, and thus the net 2023 fiscal cost for illegal immigration was far in excess of $200 billion. The truth is that we have completely lost control of immigration and the ability to estimate and contain its mounting fiscal costs.
Bridge, Road Work in SC Still Moving Slowly with Gas-tax-hike Money
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In recently announcing his proposed nearly $41 billion total state budget for fiscal 2025, Gov. Henry McMaster recommended using a projected $500 million school-fund surplus for emergency bridge replacement and repairs.
“Many of these bridges are 60, 70 and even in excess of 80 years old and are crumbling before our eyes each day,” McMaster said in a Jan. 5 press release. “Too many have been closed, while others are in such a state of disrepair that the required restrictions render them useless for commercial trucking, school buses, or fire trucks needed to serve our state’s increasing population.”
CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM – Part 8
- By W.H. Lamb
THE DARK TIME
(CA. 2300 A.D.—CA. 2400’s A.D.)
(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd century.)
“We ended our last class session as one of the most gruesome and evil episodes in mankind’s history—“The Nationality Wars”—began to run down, leaving those who survived to face an even more terrible scenario. During the period of these “Nationality Wars” (ca. late 2100s A.D. – early 2300s A.D.), another religious group was attacked by the mostly Christian, or pseudo-Christian, survivors or descendants of those who had lived in the Old United States.
“People of the “Moslemist Faith” were hunted down and killed or driven into exile into Old Mamoda. This conflict appears to have begun during the early decades of The Nationality Wars, and may have been precipitated by the violence between the Chin Empire and the New Euro “Inshalists” (a Euro sect of the Moslemists of the Great Northern Continent, or GNC). By the mid point of The Nationality Wars most of the Moslemists of the GNC had escaped into what was known then as The Mamooden Protectorate, taking their faith with them. This religious tradition became the dominant (and only) religious belief allowed in Old Mamooda, and was known as “Mamoodism”, or “The Mamooden Faith” by the early 2500’s A.D.
GOP Experts Warn Candidates to Stop Treating Abortion ‘Like a Hot Stove’ They Won’t Touch
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Nobody likes a wimp — and on the issue of abortion, the Republican Party has plenty of them. After the Dobbs ruling put the issue back in legislators’ hands, a shocking number of GOP candidates spent the 2022 and 2023 elections cowering in the collective corner, hoping voters would take their silence as confirmation that they had a reasonable position on life (despite the Democrats’ 24/7 ads to the contrary). Now, staring down a high-stakes November where this issue has the potential to upend all of the GOP’s momentum, more voices are urging the party to get off the sidelines and fight.
Dancing on Roe's Grave: Nearly 140 Abortion Clinics Closed Since its Overturn, More Victories to Come
- By Operation Rescue
WASHINGTON -- As the pro-life movement victoriously marks the 50th National March for Life, abortion clinic closures are celebrated around the nation. Millions of courageous and caring individuals and groups have gathered and marched in solidarity for the rights of preborn children in Washington, D.C., for decades.
This year's national March for Life is being held three days prior to the anniversary of that horrendously unjust decision and less than two years after the anniversary of the day it was finally overturned – June 24, 2022. For pro-lifers, the celebration of that day continues, but the fight to protect innocent, preborn children also rages on.
