The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry Helps Ukrainians Escape to Poland During Russian Invasion
- By The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry
BELLMAWR, N.J. -- Since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, The Friends of Israel (FOI, www.foi.org) Gospel Ministry has been supplying significant funds to aid those impacted in both Ukraine and Poland. FOI is working with the Jewish Agency for Israel to help evacuate Ukrainian Jews to Poland. Sparing no expense to address this emergency, FOI has sent funds to its Polish and Ukrainian workers who have set up two housing locations for refugees and are transporting to safety Jewish people fleeing Russian aggression. FOI is also sending aid to small Jewish community organizations in Ukraine that are specifically serving those who cannot escape.
Veteran Pro-life Journalist Gains Confidential Settlement About Worldwide Defamatory Book
- By Christian Newswire
PHOENIX -- Longtime pro-life journalist Dexter Duggan recently entered a confidential settlement after being "shocked" by a defamatory book by well-known historian James Hitchcock, Ph.D., titled Abortion, Religious Freedom, and Catholic Politics.
The book falsely attributes statements by other clearly identified people directly to Duggan and misrepresents numerous facts. Among serious, baseless errors, it claims that Duggan, a practicing Catholic, considered "fanatically pro-abortion" U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater to be "worthy of unqualified support" -- which would be a significant sin.
"I had been an admirer of Hitchcock but was shocked at these inexplicable falsehoods," said Duggan, who entered the confidential settlement in late 2021. It's related to Hitchcock's book, but not with Hitchcock himself.
Russian Commander: 'I Feel Shame That We Came to This Country'
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
The broken bodies lie in the city's rubble, their suitcases packed for the safe haven they will never get to. In Irpin, the carnage is covered by dirty sheets -- but the world is not looking away. To the mayor's horror, an entire family, including two little children, was killed in front of his very eyes when a rocket hit the local checkpoint. "This is murder," a passionate President Volodymyr Zelensky argued. "Deliberate murder." And the Russian people, who may never have the full picture of the nightmare unfolding in Ukraine, agree.
While the West shuns their athletes, performers, artists, and vodka, thousands of Russians are spilling into the streets, desperate to stop a war they didn't start. More than 8,000 people have been arrested in the government crackdown that's sweeping through protests from St. Petersburg to Serbia. Yulia Zhivtsova was one of them, insisting -- bravely -- that NPR use her full name. She wants future generations to know that she stood up, that "I was out there, I was protesting, I was against this." She pleaded with her countrymen to join the protests, even as Russian police beat and brutalize the crowds. Silence, she argued, won't save us. "If I keep silent, I'm still not safe."
Free Market Capitalism Is Under Siege -- From Capitalists
- By Stephen Moore
We live in a strange world. John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, helped provide the energy that powered the American century beginning in the early 1900s. Today, his grandchildren spend the billions of dollars that he donated to the Rockefeller Foundation to attack the same oil and gas industry that he almost single-handedly built. Likewise, Henry Ford's trust, the Ford Foundation, now spends millions of dollars on climate change -- as if the automobile was a sinister invention.
And now we learn from the Chronicle of Philanthropy that the Hewlett Foundation and a partner foundation will donate some $40 million "to five academic institutions" to "rethink" the benefits of free markets.
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were two of America's most outstanding entrepreneurs, co-founding their iconic computer company Hewlett-Packard out of a garage in Northern California.
US Policy: Cheer Ukrainians On -- and Keep Us Out!
- By Pat Buchanan
After Friday's NATO summit refused to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said the allies' failure to "close the skies" to Russian military aircraft gives "a green light for further bombing of Ukrainian cities."
"All the people who will die starting from this day will ... die because of you," said Zelensky to NATO, "because of your weakness."
Zelensky's indictment of NATO for cowardice came after NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ruled out a no-fly zone:
"NATO is not party to the conflict. NATO is a defensive alliance. ... We don't seek war, conflict with Russia. ... We should not have NATO planes operating over Ukrainian airspace or NATO troops on Ukrainian territory."
Russian War and Peace
- By Mike Scruggs
Bread, Security, and Freedom
Fortunately for the reader, this article will not be 1,225 pages long, as was the first full edition of Leo Tolstoy’s historical novel, War and Peace, published in 1869. Tolstoy’s great work, however, is not irrelevant to understanding Russia and the Russian people today. The time-frame of his historical “fiction” is centered on real European events from 1805 to 1820 relating to Napoleon’s war with and invasion of Russia. Over 160 of the people mentioned in the “novel” were not fictional but real people. The events and times brought great suffering to the Russian people, but they overcame and triumphed over their suffering and their French invaders.
Tolstoy was a Christian and a realist. Many of the chapters of War and Peace were not narrative. They were Tolstoy’s philosophical grappling with war, power, tragedy, suffering, moral dilemmas, and survival that still permeate the nobler understanding of Russian suffering.
ChinaAid Releases Report Detailing Persecution and Key Findings for 2021
- By ChinaAid
ChinaAid works closely with sources in China to expose abuses of human rights, religious freedom, and rule of law since 2002. While not an exhaustive list of cases, ChinaAid's research represents one of the most comprehensive and accurate overviews of persecution.
Throughout 2021, ChinaAid observed escalated oppression of house churches through economic and violent means, as well as coordinated efforts against Christian education.
Bob Fu, President and Founder of ChinaAid and one of the world leaders for persecuted faith communities in China, commented on the trends:
Judicial Department Releases Staff Salaries After Legal Pressure
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
More than three months after ignoring The Nerve’s written requests, the S.C. Judicial Department has released an updated salary list of state judges and other higher-paid court staff, which shows 141 employees making at least $100,000.
The third branch of state government responded to The Nerve only after the South Carolina Policy Council – The Nerve’s parent organization – hired a law firm to press for the release of the records.
Under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the exact compensation of a public employee earning $50,000 or more year is a matter of public record. But unlike most other state agencies, the Judicial Department doesn’t provide salary information for its $50,000-plus workers to the online state salary database maintained by the S.C. Department of Administration.
The Life of John Morrison Birch – Christian Missionary, Pastor, U.S. Army Captain, 1940 to 1945 (Part 2)
- By W.H. Lamb
In Part 1 of this series I asked the question: What impels a young man to embark on a life of missionary service to his LORD and Savior? It became clear, during my research, that John Birch received his “calling” to be a missionary from his Savior, Jesus, and he received that calling at a young age. He never turned back from serving his Savior, nor did he hesitate from going into harm’s way many times during that service. John was characterized by Robert Welch as “a simple, but highly intelligent man, who worked hard to serve God, spread God’s Word, and fought for the freedom to do so.” Many times during his wartime service, Birch longed for the day when he could farm his own land, marry and raise a family, and continue to serve God in his own way.
Rubio: 'It Looks Like His Plan Is a Medieval-Type Siege'
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
She's become the face of Ukrainian mothers, a Kyiv tour guide who now wonders if anything will be left of the city to visit. Now, she's underground, doing emotional interviews with American media with her two boys and a baby in her lap. Her husband, like all men his age, has joined the country's defense force, and she has no idea if her boys will still have a father when everything is over. People ask why she didn't leave. It's my home, she replies. "If I stay here, [my husband] will fight better, because I will inspire him to be super strong -- like he inspires me to be super strong."
On Wednesday, she seized a rare moment to take her kids home for a quick bath and stock up on things most moms take for granted: diapers, drinking water, and warm clothes. She tried to encourage the kids to play, but in a heartbreaking moment that revealed how much things had changed in her country, they wanted to leave. "They were afraid to stay at home. They were asking all the time, 'Are bombs flying?'" It's a terror the adults like Olena understand. "There is the feeling, the constant fear, like it is somewhere in my stomach... somewhere in my heart."
A New Credit Score: ESG
- By Anne Schlafly Cori
We mind our personal investments, but do we mind how our investments are invested? Many of the state pension funds and personal retirement accounts are farmed out to large investment houses, such as Vanguard, Fidelity, or BlackRock. Those three companies have trillions of dollars of assets under management and, thus, enormous power and influence in the marketplace.
For example, the CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is explicit in his embrace of “Environmental and Social Governance”, which seeks to use social justice ideology and the supposed “threat” of climate change to force public companies to change how they run their businesses. He is pushing oil companies to go green, even though “green” energy costs more in energy than it produces. Vanguard and Fidelity have also bought into ESG and both investment houses use ESG scores to evaluate the companies in which they invest.

War has been waged upon our soil. It has seeped in through our children's education, political parties, churches, borders, business, medical care, and through venues unimaginable. We are in a crisis unlike the public opinion of my opponent.
I know we are all used to hearing the career politician stand up and tell us how awesome they are, feed us the same boring cliches we have heard a million times before, and explain why we NEED them in Washington.
How well has that worked for us? Clearly, those sentiments are a disappointment to every single American.
Look around at our world today and ask yourself the tough questions:
1. Does anything make sense to you?
2. Can you believe what you are witnessing?
Gas-Tax-Hike Surplus Swells Over Past Year
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
As South Carolina motorists over the past year have been paying more in state gasoline taxes – on top of skyrocketing gas prices – the surplus from revenues generated under the 2017 gas-tax-hike law jumped by nearly $300 million, records show.
As of Jan. 31, the cash balance of a special fund created with the law stood at $1.05 billion – $297.9 million, or about 40%, more than the total surplus a year earlier, according to state Department of Transportation and comptroller general records. The increase was $46 million greater compared to the previous annual growth in the reserves.
Looking at it another way, the current surplus equals about $260 for every driver with a regular South Carolina license.
Without an American Renewal, Putin's Aggression Is Only a Preview of Troubles Ahead
- By Neil Patel
Since the end of World War II, the United States has been the world's dominant force. Marked by relative peace and prosperity, it's been an amazingly successful period for America and for the world. Certainly, measured by world historical standards, the U.S. has little to apologize for and much to be proud of. The first four decades of this period were defined by the Cold War. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the U.S. became the unchallenged power in the world. As much as this was celebrated at the time, America's actions since then have eroded this advantage. Having squandered a historic opportunity, Washington is now faced with a challenge unlike any other before it.
Is a Russia-NATO Clash Over Ukraine Ahead?
- By Pat Buchanan
When Hungarian rebels arose in 1956 to overthrow the Communist regime imposed by Joseph Stalin, President Dwight Eisenhower refused to send U.S. forces to aid the Hungarians.
Ike would not take America to war with Russia over a small country in Central Europe.
While the Hungarians were heroic and inspirational, Hungary was neither a member of NATO nor a vital U.S. interest. Moreover, it was on the Soviet side of the Yalta line dividing Europe, and agreed to by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill at Yalta in 1945.
For similar reasons today, President Joe Biden has refused to send U.S. troops, ships or planes to attack Russian forces invading Ukraine.
Biden’s Agenda Falls Short in State of the Union Address
- By Eagle Forum
As President Biden gave his State of the Union address this week, we couldn’t help but miss the days of the Trump administration. The most pro-life President in history was replaced by an administration determined to solidify taxpayer-funded abortion up until birth. Our strong defense and America-first policies set forth by President Trump were erased only for this administration to enact open borders, woke military, and pro-China policies instead. Perhaps, the worst of the first year of the Biden administration came in the form of authoritarian mandates. His address ended up being a roller coaster ride of calls of unification despite his leftist agenda and intent to undermine what could be seen as his conservative leanings.
National Pro-Life Organization Sues Texas Agencies Over Discrimination and Conspiracy
- By Life Legal Defense Foundation
AUSTIN, Texas -- The Heidi Group, Inc., a pro-life pregnancy center network, filed a lawsuit against the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), The Office of Inspector General of HHSC (OIG), and several individuals last week for violations of constitutional and statutory rights and conspiracy. The Heidi Group was founded by former abortionist Carol Everett, who has been instrumental in defunding Planned Parenthood in Texas. Carol and The Heidi Group are represented by Life Legal affiliated attorney Ed Watt.

- By Christian Newswire
PLANO, Texas -- Texas-based Christian ministry and nonprofit organization ServingHIM (Healthcare International Ministries) announced today an emergency fundraising campaign to aid the organization's mobile medical units located in Romania and Moldova who are rescuing Ukrainian refugees at the border. ServingHIM's partner churches and clinics in Romania and Moldova are already delivering food, housing, and comfort to the refugees.

ServingHIM sends U.S. teams on mission trips to augment those medical teams during the year.
American Efforts to Save Children in Konotop, Ukraine
- By MercyProjects.org
MURRIETA, Calif. -- Today, Russian soldiers walked through crowded streets in Konotop, Ukraine, threatening to release hand grenades if the people of this city in northeast Ukraine did not submit to them.
Mayor Artem Semenikhin, rallied the people in this town in Sumy Oblast, just 100 miles from the Russian border, and they resisted the soldiers, placing their lives at risk by their defiance.
MercyProjects (MercyProjects.org), headed by Jeff Thompson, has helped build and sustain the Hearts of Love Center in Konotop since 2005. The facility, under the direction of Lena Yuschenko, serves about 55 special needs children each week.
AFPAC Versus America Last GOP
- By Michelle Malkin
GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy returned from a congressional junket to Israel this week and immediately surrendered to the woke corporate media and leftist smear merchants. Is this the kind of America Last "leadership" that grassroots conservatives want if Republicans take back Congress in November?
McCarthy told a CNN reporter on Monday that it was "appalling and wrong" for Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., to speak to the annual America First Political Action Conference, or AFPAC. I have personally addressed and supported AFPAC since its inception in 2019. It is the authentic alternative to the moldy, Swamp-run Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, from which a rising generation of staunch immigration restrictionists and conservative Christians are banned and blacklisted (including me) -- while drag queens, foreign sponsors, and Big Tech titans Google and Facebook have been welcomed by CPAC with open arms.

Officer Glass is a confidant, friend, and beloved colleague for the officers."
nfant Messaging: Dems' Abortion Bill Shows First Priorities
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
For the men and women milling about the Senate floor, it was a surreal moment. They'd been back in session barely two hours -- the first time, many will point out, since Vladimir Putin unleashed his war against the West. But instead of joining the rest of the world in racing to stop the threat against Europe, Democrats had other priorities: the spilling of innocent blood here at home. For the president's party, the timing of their unlimited abortion bill vote will be another thing Americans won't forget this November. It was a disturbing snapshot of the Left's leadership team, who made one of the first orders of business after Russia invaded Ukraine advancing their own war on the unborn.
Return of the 'Evil Empire'
- By Star Parker
Regardless of what any American feels about what steps we should take in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggressive incursion into Ukraine, for sure most are appalled by what he has done.
As Putin moves to regain Russian control over nations that once were part of the Soviet sphere, we ought to think about the circumstances under which the Soviet Union collapsed to consider how it all might be reversed.
In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan spoke to the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida, and delivered what would famously become known as the speech in which he called the Soviet Union the "evil empire."

- By Christian Newswire
COLLEYVILLE -- Israel-based ministry One For Israel announces the release of a free 'Pray for Israel!' 31-day prayer guide to encourage U.S. Christians to accept the biblically based call to pray for Israel.
Releasing on March 1, the quick-read devotional offers 31 days of concise and focused prayer points designed to inform and stir the hearts of Christ-followers and prompt them to intercede for the unreached people of Israel.

BJU Bruins Host 10th Anniversary Gala with Trevor Lawrence
- By Randy Page - BJU
Bob Jones University and the Bruins Athletic Club are hosting the “Bruins Athletic Club 10 Year Anniversary Gala: An Evening with Trevor Lawrence” on Monday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in the Founder’s Memorial Amphitorium on the BJU campus.
A generational talent, Trevor Lawrence was the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and most anticipated NFL player in decades. His collegiate tenure was highlighted by three consecutive ACC Championships, two undefeated regular seasons and a National Championship title in 2018, where he was also named Offensive MVP. A leader in every sense of the word, Lawrence has claimed his space in Clemson’s record books finishing third on the school’s all-time leading passer list and tied for second on the all-time touchdown passes list.
Biden: Fenced in after a Year of Failure
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Working at the White House hasn't exactly been a bed of roses lately, but you have to feel for the speechwriters. Trying to spin a year's worth of disasters into a triumph of modern liberalism would be hard even for the best fiction writers. And yet, heading into Tuesday's State of the Union speech, that's the task facing this president: pretending that his failures overseas, the high prices at home, and the deep unpopularity of this administration are all a fulfillment of his promise to do "great things."
After 13 months of Joe Biden, no one is confident that the man who vowed to answer "the call of history" could even find the phone. In a single year, Americans have gone from economic, energy, border, and national security to dancing on a knife's edge of inflation, crime, disunity, global upheaval, and war. The last time Joe Biden addressed a joint session of Congress, many have pointed out, he said the country was "ready for takeoff." How ironic, then, that he's stuck explaining his crash landing on everything from Kabul to omicron.
