State Rep. Briscoe Cain Named Recipient of Operation Rescue's 2021 Pro-Life Person of the Year Malachi Award for His Work on the Texas Heartbeat Act
- By Operation Rescue
WASHINGTON -- Operation Rescue is pleased to announce that the recipient of its 2021 Person of the Year Malachi Award is Texas State Representative Briscoe Cain, who assisted in crafting the language for the Texas Heartbeat Act, which prohibits abortions after a heartbeat has been detected on a baby in the womb, which is usually around six weeks gestation.
The Malachi Award is given by Operation Rescue every year to recognize individuals who sacrificially work to advance the cause of protecting the pre-born.
In 2020, before the Texas Heartbeat was enacted, there were 55,175 abortions in Texas. Thanks to Rep. Cain's work, it is estimated that the Texas Heartbeat Bill has reduced abortions in that state by 50 percent.
Congress Expands Federal Government by Increasing Debt Limit
- By Eagle Forum
The federal government has a big spending problem. We have watched both parties add to the federal debt for decades while ignoring the impending consequences. In one generation alone, the deficit has ballooned from $5.2 trillion to $28.4 trillion. A whopping 54% of the federal deficit has been incurred in just the past two years, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the government is out of money and is forcing the American people — and future generations — to bail them out.
Update: Capitol Officials will not Confirm if There are ANY Decorations on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Displaying or Celebrating the Birth of Christ After Government Regulations Banned all 'Religious Symbols'
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Are decorations of the Nativity Scene, Baby Jesus and the Holy Family being banned from being displayed on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree?
On their website, the USDA/Forest Service lists these prohibitions on what cannot be included for ornaments on the 2021 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree:
Decorations cannot include logos, political or religious affiliation or symbols, drug or alcohol references, be divisive or offensive.
Here Comes San Jose Right down Tyranny Lane
- By Joshua Arnold - Family Research Council
All they did was meet together for worship in obedience to the Word of God. Then the government started fining them. Now, officials have shown up with a warrant and are interrogating their employees. The worst part of all is that the Supreme Court has twice ruled in favor of Calvary Chapel San Jose, yet still state and local governments are harassing them.
First it was California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who clung to one of the nation's strictest lockdowns far longer than science or prudence could justify. Eventually, the Supreme Court intervened to end what had been nearly a year-long ban on indoor worship. But while churches opened elsewhere in the state, officials in Santa Clara County declared "indoor gatherings of all kinds remain very risky." Six justices curtly overruled the county's worship ban, perhaps annoyed by the brazen way in which the county flaunted their earlier decision.

Where in the World Is Hoax-Enabler Tina Tchen?
- By Michelle Malkin
Jussie Smollett, the drug-addicted, anti-white, anti-Trump celebrity who cried wolf, was convicted last week on five out of six felony counts of disorderly conduct after falsely reporting to Chicago police that he was a victim of a hate crime attack in the sub-zero morning hours of Jan. 29, 2019.
Let us revel in the criminal comeuppance of a Hollywood liar. It's rarer than spotting a pair of MAGA redneck viewers of the liberal, anti-cop black TV drama, "Empire," at 2 a.m. in downtown Chicago. LOL.
Speaking of whom, here's a breaking news update in perpetuity: Smollett's two phantom conservative white assailants -- who somehow recognized the C-list actor and somehow knew he was gay and somehow just happened to be carrying around a "noose" along with a hot sauce bottle filled with bleach -- are still on the loose.
Houston, We Have a Solution
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Six weeks after the 2021 general elections, conservatives are still winning races. Last Saturday, conservative candidates defeated two incumbents in four run-off elections for the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees. Dr. Kendall Baker and former PTO President Bridget Wade both focused their campaigns against mask mandates and indoctrinating students with critical race theory. Although they are the only two conservatives on the nine-member school board, the radical school establishment and their media allies are shaking in their boots.
A Houston Chronicle "reporter" editorialized, repeatedly, that conservative school board victories were "a testament, some say, to the grip that national politics have taken over local education." He also insisted CRT "is not taught in Texas schools" while attacking Texas Governor Greg Abbott for "trying to whitewash discussions of race and the country's history" by banning it.
Nikki Haley's Christmas Present to America
- By Star Parker
Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has served up a kind of Christmas present to the nation in the form of a new comprehensive policy book, issued by her organization Stand for America, serving up conservative solutions for our nation's many challenges -- domestic and foreign.
Conservatives get a bad rap that they just say "no." That they're against everything but never clear what they are for.
Haley is one conservative that cannot be accused of not having a broad vision and not being forthcoming in sharing it.
It's all here in "American Strength: Conservative Solutions Worth Fighting For."
Fauci Hides Financials
- By Adam Andrzejewski - Eagle Forum
In January, our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com investigated Dr. Anthony Fauci. We discovered Fauci was the #1 most highly compensated federal employee. Our findings, published at Forbes, were national and international news. However, we had a lot more questions.
We filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Dr. Fauci’s employment documents. We requested Fauci’s employment contract and all modifications, amendments, addendums; job description; and financial and conflict-of-interest disclosures.
It has been a nine-month battle. The National Institutes of Health, an agency of Health and Human Services, failed to comply with our three FOIA requests so, together with Judicial Watch — an organization which also fights for accountability and integrity in law, politics and government — we filed a federal FOIA lawsuit to force the Fauci paperwork into the sunshine.
Lessons from the 1828 Tariff of Abominations
- By Mike Scruggs
Foreshadows of the Morrill Tariff
Part 5 of 8 of a Series on the Morrill Tariff
The passage of the 1828 Tariff resulted in the defeat of John Quincy Adams in the 1828 presidential election by Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, who opposed the Tariff. His Vice President, John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, had become a relentless opponent of protective tariffs, and was one of strongest advocates for States Rights in the nation. Calhoun was a brilliant intellectual, elegant speaker, and consummate political organizer. Jackson, a fellow Southerner, had similar views but was not as committed to expeditious correction of the evils perpetrated by the tariff. Understandably, Jackson believed that materials important to military defense should be protected. But he also believed that the tariff should not be reduced until the national debt was paid off. This thinking must have alarmed Calhoun, since Southern States paid most of the tariff revenues, while the Northern States received a disproportionate share of the benefits to spend on Northern “internal improvements.” This meant that the South would be called upon to pay off most of a national debt caused by over expenditures on mostly Northern internal improvements—an outrageous injustice. U.S. tariff policy debates—arguing free trade and low tariffs versus protectionism and high tariffs—thus remained heated.

South Carolina Graduate Appointed by West Virginia Governor
- By Press Release
CHARLESTON, WV – Last month, South Carolina graduate Mark Scott left office as President of Randolph County Commission to join West Virginia Governor Jim Justice’s cabinet in Charleston.
Gov. Justice appointed Mark Scott as Cabinet Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Administration. His appointment was effective on November 1, 2021.
Scott, who previously served as the president of Randolph County Commission, worked in the insurance business in north central West Virginia for 27 years before his retirement from the private sector.
“Mark is a very, very qualified man and I’m really confident that he’s going to bring some real ideas and real juice to the position and he’ll do a wonderful job,” Gov. Justice said.
Scott has acknowledged his responsbilities that come with his new position by recognizing 18 different divisions of government that he is responsible for. Some has to do with what he was already done, such as fleet management and building management.
Scott told The Inter-Mountain Newspaper, “In addition to that, insurance, so PEIA comes under my purview, also worker’s management. Also all the pension programs.
Knowledge, Determination, and Faith Are Needed Now to Save Our Nation!
- By W.H. Lamb
“I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe….Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent and they will be vigilant, give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”
Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837; Works 1:403
Daniel Webster’s last sentence in the paragraph above, pretty much explains why the John Birch Society was founded in 1958 by Robert Welch, and what is really needed to preserve the rapidly deteriorating remnants of our Constitutional Republic and restore it to its former position of respect and nobility. Mr. Welch was a true ‘renaissance man’ who was knowledgeable on many subjects, particularly our American heritage under constitutional law. He recognized the “downward trend” among his countrymen of the 1940’s and 1950’s to accept the push toward ever-larger and more meddlesome government, thrusting its ever-more-intrusive, and increasingly abusive, presence into the lives of all Americans.

Commerce Mum on Details of Massive Budget Request
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. Department of Commerce wants $100 million more in state funding for next fiscal year – which represents nearly 80% of its entire current budget – for an unspecified “infrastructure” program.
“South Carolina does not have a funding mechanism to address significant needs that are necessary for the state to continue and capitalize on its economic development success,” according to Commerce’s formal budget request submitted recently by new agency head Harry Lightsey to the state Department of Administration. “Currently the state addresses the need to modernize or construct new infrastructure based on population density or individual economic development projects.”
The Greatest Financial Swindle of All Time
- By Stephen Moore
One of the most popular provisions of the 1994 Contract with America was a rule requiring Congress to live by the same laws that families and businesses are subject to.
So, why doesn't Congress live by the financial and accounting standards required of the rest of us?
I'm speaking of the multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better law, a giant financial masquerade. No one knows what it costs. None of the Democrats in Congress who are hellbent on passing it seems to care. That may be because, as the House Budget Committee chairman has pronounced, "We can pay for whatever we want to pay for."
Uh-huh. Don't hire this man as your accountant.
Are Autocrats Always Adversaries?
- By Pat Buchanan
When did the political systems of 193 nations become the business of the government of the United States? And who elected us Americans to write the moral code for the regimes that rule other lands?
Consider: On taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to center his foreign policy "on the defense of democracy and the protection of human rights." At his Summit for Democracy, he said it was America's intent to undertake the bolstering of democracy and human rights worldwide.
Yet no nation bristles more than we Americans do when we discover foreign regimes meddling in our politics or presidential elections.
Why? Historically, Americans have collaborated not only with democracies but also with autocrats, dictators, monarchs and tyrants.

Operation Rescue Applauds SCOTUS' Ruling that Keeps the Texas Heartbeat Act in Place
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Operation Rescue releases the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's action last Friday to keep the Texas Heartbeat Act in place while a court challenge filed by Texas abortionists continues through the lower courts. [Read the ruling here.]
This statement below is attributable to Troy Newman, President, Operation Rescue:
"This Supreme Court ruling is a huge victory because it ensures the law will continue for the foreseeable future to protect babies in the womb, which are the most innocent and vulnerable of human beings. So far, it is estimated that abortions in Texas have decreased by half over last year's numbers. While some women are seeking abortions in other states, many have not and will not, resulting in thousands of innocent lives saved and mothers spared from the trauma of abortion.
The Supreme Court Allows Texas Abortion Ban to Stay in Place While Lawsuits by Abortion Providers can Move Forward
- By Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution
WASHINGTON, -- This is a significant victory for the pro-life movement as hundreds of children and their mothers will be saved from the violence of abortion while the ban remains in place.
Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare, comments,
"While the Supreme Court is allowing abortion providers to sue the Texas law banning abortions after 6 weeks, it is allowing the ban to stay in place while the lawsuits move forward.
"This is a significant victory for the pro-life movement as hundreds of children and their mothers will be saved from the violence of abortion while the ban remains in place.
Senate Gives Mandate the Heave Ho Ho Ho
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
We know what Joe Biden wants for Christmas -- a break from the hot seat. In normal times, he might have gotten it. Usually, the holidays are a great distraction from everything that's happening in Washington -- unless what's happening in Washington is affecting everything Americans are doing for the holidays. For this president, there's no fading into the snowy background when shoppers are paying twice as much for presents -- if they can get them at all!
The Biden presidency has been such a disaster that not even the media's absurdly flattering coverage can bail him out. And in the White House's alternate universe, that's exactly the problem. The press hasn't been favorable enough, reporters were told at an off-the-record meeting with senior administration officials. So his cheerleaders kicked it into even higher gear -- complaining, as the Washington Post's Dana Milbank did -- that the media has been harder on Biden than Donald Trump. No reasonable human being could possibly believe that, NRO fired back. And yet, Milbank whined that the "Left-wing media is tough on him... He has no real support as he tries to" -- get this -- "rebuild the organs of democracy."
Pause Before You Give Congress Credit for Trying to Stop Slave Labor in China
- By Neil Patel
American corporate and political leaders are more eager than ever to burnish their do-gooder credentials. Companies are taking stands on social issues more than ever before. Politicians also want to make sure the voters know they are socially just. It's no surprise, therefore, that each house of Congress has passed a bill to stop the importation of goods made with Chinese slave labor. What's more interesting is just how much top American companies and our political leaders have done to slow down the process and weaken the protections. It's a case study in how Congress, the White House and big business work hand-in-hand to control the agenda in Washington.
Biden's Full Plate -- Ukraine, Taiwan, Tehran
- By Pat Buchanan
One day after warning Russian President Vladimir Putin he would face "severe" economic sanctions, "like ones he's never seen," should Russia invade Ukraine, President Joe Biden assured Americans that sending U.S. combat troops to Ukraine is "not on the table."
America is not going to fight Russia over Ukraine.
"The idea that the United States is going to unilaterally use force to confront Russia invading Ukraine is not in the cards," said Biden. "We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to our NATO allies," but "that obligation does not extend to ... Ukraine."
Anti-interventionists who have opposed bringing Ukraine into NATO may just have kept America out of a confrontation or war with Russia.
Secrecy Still Part of Judicial Screening Process
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
A legislatively controlled committee that screens judges ruled last week that a longtime circuit court judge was no longer qualified to serve, though the general public wasn’t informed afterward about its decision.
When it comes to secrecy surrounding how judges are nominated in South Carolina, it’s business as usual for the six-legislator, 10-member Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC).
The JMSC on Dec. 1 voted not to qualify Horry County circuit judge Steven John, who has been on the bench since 2001, Erin Crawford, the JMSC’s chief attorney, confirmed Monday when contacted by The Nerve. In an email response, she said the commission in “open session” voted 9-0 to find John unqualified – an unusual action involving a veteran, sitting judge.
Are Decorations of the Nativity Scene, Baby Jesus and the Holy Family Being Banned from Being Displayed on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree?
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- On their website, the USDA/Forest Service lists these prohibitions on what cannot be included for ornaments on the 2021 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree:
Decorations cannot include logos, political or religious affiliation or symbols, drug or alcohol references, be divisive or offensive.
So the official government guidelines say, "religious symbols" are prohibited from being decorations on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.
Here is a link to the USDA/Forest Service website address: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/r5/home/?cid=FSEPRD907029&width=full
In an email to the Architect of the Capitol and the Capitol Police Board, the Christian Defense Coalitions asks if that prohibition on religious symbols includes, Nativity Displays, Baby Jesus or the Holy Family.
Inside the Vaccine Passport Racket
- By Michelle Malkin
The profit-maximizing corporations that covet your "digital health" data hide behind nonprofit umbrella groups that pose as public interest do-gooders. These vaccine passport profiteers are turning millions of human beings into walking QR codes in the name of fighting COVID-19 and under the guise of bringing "normalcy" back. It's an unprecedented worldwide racket that rewards compliant sheep and punishes free-thinking, autonomy-seeking citizens.
Let's name them.
Here in my adopted home of Colorado, the state government is pimping the Smart Health Card "allowing users to verify and share their vaccination status." Who's behind Smart Health Card technology, which is now being used in Canada, Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, Australia and a total of 12 states, including California, Washington state, Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Oregon -- as well as CVS and Rite Aid pharmacies, Kaiser Permanente, UC Health, Walgreens, Walmart, Express Scripts and United Healthcare Services?
