Don't Let Hunter's Plea Deal Distract From the Real Biden Problem: Ukraine

  • Print
  • Email
By Josh Hammer
Published: 14 July 2023

In today's America, it sure is nice to be a Biden.

Presidential prodigal son Hunter Biden's transparently sweetheart plea deal consummated this week with his daddy's Justice Department encapsulates, in many ways, the two-tiered system of justice that conservatives have been decrying at least since then-FBI Director James Comey let then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton off scot-free for her infamous email server because, in his words, "no reasonable prosecutor" would have brought the case. After a five-year Department of Justice criminal probe, which was rocked in recent months by an IRS whistleblower coming forward to sound the alarm on the feds' all-too-predictable kid-gloves treatment of Hunter, the ex-crack addict and foreign influence-peddler will escape jail time and avoid any punishment at all (other than a two-year probation period) for having brazenly lied on a federal firearms background check form.

Will Patriots Continue Making Small Sacrifices?

  • Print

By Robin Itzler - Editor of Patriot Neighbors
Published: 14 July 2023

One reason Marxist Democrats could eventually take over the United States of America (and they are on their way with centralized state voting) is because many conservative and Republican Patriots won’t make long-term small “sacrifices.”

Yes, Patriots attend protest rallies, sign petitions, applaud speakers at meetings, and write checks, but will we continue avoiding companies that promote woke?

In February, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred told teams that players should NOT wear pride rainbow-themed caps or uniform patches. Even with suggested restrictions, 29 of 30 Major League Baseball clubs held pride-related events in 2023.

The Dog 6599
Hayley Lamb - Boss of the "Pack"

Hello again to everyone.  My name is Hayley Lamb, and you can see my picture at the top of this article, where I’m sitting in front of MY house.   This is my second article for this newspaper that I’ve written.  My Uncle Boomer used to write a lot for The Times Examiner before he decided to cross over the “Rainbow Bridge” back in 2015.  He was into unimportant stuff like politics, but he also wrote about really relevant and important things like chasing cats and squirrels, riding in his Grampa’s car, keeping big birds out of our yard, and making sure that the mailman didn’t come onto our property.  He even ran for the office of “Dog-In-Chief” way back in the dark time of 2012, before I was born (but he lost).  He did belong to The National Anti-Cat Society, just like I do.  He was a real cat hater/cat chaser, so I know from whom I got my “anti-cat” propensities.

AI is the New Arms Race

The excitement and fear of bots have existed for decades. From vacuum cleaners and washing machines in the 1950s to self-driving cars and automated surgeries in today’s world, robotics have, in many ways, made our lives easier. At the same time, movies and books have introduced themes of robots becoming self-aware and eradicating the human race. The reality lies somewhere in between ultimate convenience and total domination. Artificial intelligence (AI) is truly the Wild West right now and Congress is struggling to move fast enough to legislate important boundaries.

'Bidenomics' Is a Marketing Term

  • Print
  • Email
By Veronique de Rugy
Published: 14 July 2023

Politics is sometimes little more than marketing. As evidence, behold the sudden use of the term "Bidenomics" by Democrats to describe administration policies of the past few years. Indeed, what's being branded as "new" is nothing but the same old program of big spending, big regulations and big cronyism. The only difference is that it's on a much bigger scale.

The administration will need all the marketing it can get to sell these ideas, especially to a public that's been giving it approval ratings in the thirties. But no marketing effort should distract us from the economic realities of the past two years.

As the nation approaches the first anniversary of the Supreme Court decision returning abortion to democratic control, national leaders celebrated the birth of tens, or hundreds, of thousands of unborn children saved by pro-life laws.

Although precise estimates vary, “the best guess that we have is about 200,000 children were born this year that would not have been born” apart from the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, said Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) at a news conference Tuesday. “That’s 200,000 kids. That’s 200,000 smiling faces on playgrounds. That’s 200,000 silly songs, starting in kindergarten. That’s 200,000 families that will be blessed with looking in the eyes of a child.”

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 5

There have been several efforts by Old Earth proponents to try to defend a 4.5-billion-year-old earth from laws of physics. Most responses to the lunar recession issue found on anti-creationist websites are little more than copy and paste jobs from other anti-creationist web sites. There is a common argument based on a paper written by Kirk S Hansen in 1982.

When it came to reining in lawmakers’ spending on their favored local projects for the upcoming fiscal year, Gov. Henry McMaster used a veto butter knife on earmarks totaling more than $709 million.

In his annual written veto message released Tuesday, McMaster vetoed just six out of 515 state budget earmarks approved by lawmakers for the fiscal 2023-24 fiscal year that starts July 1. The six projects totaled $1.5 million – a fraction of 1 percent of the overall $709.4 million in earmarks, The Nerve found in a review of House and Senate earmark lists overwhelmingly approved last week by the Legislature.

Once To Every Man And Nation Comes The Moment To Decide

By W.H. Lamb
Published: 27 June 2023
IMG 2231
The time is now upon Americans to decide whether we will live as free people in a constitutional republic, or endure as slaves and serve to a Marxist, collectivist tryanny! May you choose wisely!

Note:  A version of this article, under a different title, was published in The Times Examiner on April 13, 2020.  Our “national situation” is even more precarious now than it was then.  Those who deny that are either grossly uninformed, deliberately blind, or are in the camp of the collectivists. 

I’d venture a guess that most readers of this beacon of truth called The Times Examinerknow at least some of the words to James Lowell’s (1819-1891) great 1844 poem—a 90-line masterpiece titled, “The Present Crisis”.  It was first published in 1845 by The Boston Currier, written  as a protest against the impending war with Mexico and as a condemnation of the then existing evil institution of slavery, which had been incorporated into the new Republic of Texas in 1836.  In 1896, Garrett Horder (1841-1922), an English hymn writer, took Lowell’s epic poem and condensed it into the shorter but more familiar hymn—“Once To Every Man and Nation”-- that most Christians have always known.  Both versions contain inspiring, beautiful, yet quite troubling ideas  which have “pin pricked” my thoughts for decades.  To a certain extent, Lowell’s words still stand as a “two edged sword” ready to condemn those of us alive today with their thrust into our complacency, as lines #26 through #30 eloquently proclaim:

Rainbow Umbrellas, One of the Reasons to Raise Greenville County Taxes?

County Councilmen Accusing Each Other of Grandstanding and Playing Politics

Ennis Fant's Rainbow Unbrellas

The iconic English nanny Mary Poppins would be proud of Greenville County. What became her famous nostalgic symbol may soon become Greenville’s colorful tax burden among other budgeted items. This past Tuesday, June 6th, the County Councilmen gave their approval for second reading of the proposed budgets for 2024 and 2025, which received some reductions at this meeting.

I will be the first to admit that when it comes down to the actual details of the budget, I am no expert, and I would not even dare try to get into those details and sway my readers one way or the other. And it sounds impressive that Greenville County has not raised taxes in 28 years, despite our property taxes saying otherwise. So, while everyone else is arguing the financial details, let us consider observable factors seen at this meeting that may provide some insight into what is going on behind the scenes.

Published: 20 June 2023

The Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) has received many questions and concerns from county and precinct leaders, who represent the voters of Greenville County.  GCRP has met with several county council members and gathered substantial information on the proposed budget.  We have prepared a letter for each precinct leader and officers of each “District” to send to their respective council member ( see sample letter HERE ).

GCRP’s stance on the proposed budget has remained the same throughout the past weeks since this tax increase was first revealed publicly.  We believe there hasn’t been transparency or enough information given to the general public.  The majority of Greenville County voters are a definite “NO” to any tax increases without seeing a substantial need and the details of such.

Dozens of Democratic members of Congress sent a letter Thursday pressuring Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Safeway and Health Mart to carry the abortion pill mifepristone, stating their caution in not yet becoming federally certified to distribute the life-taking drug is “unacceptable.”

“Your pharmacies have been able to start the certification process since January but have not done so, despite letters from numerous governors and senators inquiring about your failure to do so,” wrote more than 50 Democratic members of the House of Representatives Thursday. “Your companies have a responsibility to consumers and communities to address this issue as soon as possible.”

A recent Wall Street Journal lead story reported that "Republicans and big business broke up." The amount of corporate donations to Republicans was cut sharply in the last election cycle to a lower amount than in nearly a decade. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has backed many Democrats running for Congress in close and competitive races, which puts the GOP slim majority in jeopardy.

The writing is on the wall: Corporate America is increasingly aligning itself with liberal Democrats, not Republicans.

Belmont representatives cited a conflict in values.

Promise Keepers is hosting a series of events this year, titled "Daring Faith." Events are scheduled for Houston, Memphis and New York City, with additional stops in other cities across the country. Among these stops was Belmont University.

The Last Days of Camp Douglas

Confederate POWs Marched Out Singing “Dixie”

The Last Days of Camp Douglas 2332

Captain Tom Quirk and nine Morgan scouts.

Official records of POW deaths during the Civil War on both sides indicated that about 49,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died in 150 Prisoner of War camps. The major statistics are broken down in last week’s article, Union and Confederate POW camps in the Civil War.

Author Lonnie R Speer, however, in his 1997 book, Portals to Hell: Military Prisons of the Civil War;  covering statistics from 96 Union and 117 Confederate facilities which housed POWs during the war, found 30,218 Confederate deaths and 25,796 Union deaths, bringing the total to just over 56,000. According to Speer, 15.5 percent of the Confederates prisoners died, a ratio 29 percent higher than the slightly more than 12 percent of Union prisoners that died. Speer’s statistics may even be conservative. Speer has only the 4,454 official deaths for Camp Douglas, but historical on-site estimates from Confederate prisoners in the last days of Camp Douglas and modern counts indicate there are at least 5,600 Confederate graves at or near Camp Douglas. In addition, about 400 bodies of Confederate soldiers were recorded as shipped to their families at home. George Levy in his 1999 book, To Die in Chicago; Confederate Prisoners at Camp Douglas 1862-1865, has a whole chapter, “Lost in Chicago,” on the missing Confederate dead.

Most Americans Say Transgenderism Is Morally Wrong Gallup

The American public is increasingly rejecting the LGBTQ agenda, as a series of new polls show a growing majority of Americans agree that attempting to change your gender is “morally wrong,” that only two genders exist, and that women should not be forced to compete against men in sports.

A total of 55% of Americans believe “changing one’s gender” is immoral — up four points from 2021, according to a Gallup poll released Monday. Only registered Democrats became more likely over the last two years to consider transgender identity morally acceptable.

Wave on wave that surging follow battle’s distant sound?

‘Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen, Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen,
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen, they shall bite the ground!

Loose the folds asunder, flag we conquer under!
The placid sky now bright on high, shall launch its bolts in thunder!

Onward! ‘Tis the country needs us, he is bravest, he who leads us,
Honor’s self now proudly heads us,  freedom, God, and right!”
