House and Senate Take Votes on Leadership and Same-Sex Marriage Bill

- By Eagle Forum
Lame Duck Runs Afoul
The United States House and Senate kicked off the ‘lame duck’ session this week – that time between the election and the swearing-in of the new Congress. Historically, because outgoing Members are no longer accountable to their constituents and elections are as far off as possible, this is a time rife with mischief-making! With Republicans taking the majority in the House, Democrats are trying to push through their leftover agenda items hoping that Republicans are more likely to fold to get home to their families for the holidays.
Settlement Reached Over Costly and Discriminatory Vaccine Policy
- Details
- By Advocates for Faith & Freedom
MURRIETA, Calif. -- Advocates for Faith & Freedom has secured a six-figure settlement award this week for a group of Goleta Water District employees who were subjected to a discriminatory vaccine policy.
On June 1, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Goleta Water District and several government officials after they were provided with religious exemptions against the vaccine and were given one of two unreasonable choices: take an unpaid leave of absence, or pay for bi-weekly COVID-19 tests, which could cost up to $800 a month. Unvaccinated employees were also restricted from entering certain buildings and were required to wear an N95 mask.
The "Equality Act" and "Respect for Marriage Act" Are Anything But
- Details
- By Catching Fire News
Have you heard of the Federal Equality Act? What about the Respect for Marriage Act?
One has already been passed into law in 26 states and is in line to be passed federally; the other will be put to a vote in the Senate right after the 2022 election.
Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Council joins Mordecai Mission and shares how these bills are a direct attack on the fundamentals of Christianity, and in danger of being passed by the thinnest of margins.
After 2022 Setback, GOP Race for 2024 Is Wide Open
- Details
- By Josh Hammer
The 2022 midterm elections were, by any objective measure, tremendously disappointing for Republicans. As has already been discussed ad nauseam, the "red wave" that so many -- yours truly included -- had predicted simply did not materialize. The reasons for that are numerous; no one individual, one institution or one specific systemic failure is to blame. There is, in short, a lot of blame to go around here. Because while Republicans actually won the national popular vote by roughly four points, there is no way to describe their historically awful first-presidential-term opposition-party midterm performance, in which the GOP lost almost every high-profile state-level "swing" race, as anything other than disastrous.
American Brand, Milwaukee Tool, Uses Chinese Slave Labor, Jailed Activist's Wife Says
- Details
- By ChinaAid
MIDLAND, Texas -- The wife of famous Chinese human rights activist Cheng Yuan reports her jailed husband and other prisoners are used as slave labor to produce gloves for Milwaukee Tool, an American corporation founded in 1924.
According to Shi Minglei,
"Several months ago, prisoners released from Chishan prison, Hunan Province, China, where my husband is being held confirmed that my husband has become a slave laborer, whose work is exploited by Milwaukee Tools Company. Prisoners in Hunan Chishan prison produced 4800 - 14,400 units of Milwaukee gloves daily. These gloves are sold throughout the US at major marketplace such as Home Depot."
Scientific Elitism
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There is a trend these days, particularly online, to just trust the experts. The experts of course are those that hold to the politically correct views such as Big Bang to man evolution, man-caused climate change, and a lot more. Inherent in this idea is the notion of Scientific elitism.
Scientific elitism is the notion that approved scientists are not to be questioned when they say something considered scientific. Of course, the only scientists that have this privilege of being unquestioned are those that follow the official party line and accept whatever leftist agenda exists on the topic they are talking about.
FBI Offers $25,000 Reward to Find Suspects in Firebombing of Pro-life Clinic Outside of Buffalo, New York

- By Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution
WASHINGTON -- The announcement came hours before Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution led a protest in front of the Department of Justice in Washington, DC demanding the Biden Administration and federal law enforcement protect the pro-life community from continued acts of violence and attacks.
The FBI, on November 14, said it would be offering up to $25,000 for help identifying suspects who threw Molotov cocktails at a pro-life medical clinic in Buffalo, New York, in June.
God, Not Politics, is in Control

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, there's an awful lot of unthankful and ungracious chatter abounding across the nation. Politics is attempting to reign supreme. Yet, there are some who have not bowed their knees to Baal. There is a remnant in the land. There are a faithful few "standing in the gap;" crying "here we are; send us."
My "inbox" has been "lit" by the "faithful remnant."

Senate Marriage Bill Declares War on American Parents
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
In an otherwise deflating election for Republicans, one of the few areas where conservatives did make hay was America’s school boards. From Florida to Loudoun County, the parents’ rebellion rode a red wave of upsets from coast to coast. For all of the chatter about what the GOP could have done differently in these midterms, education stands alone as one of the most powerful issues connecting the party with voters. So why would Republicans support a bill that strips away parents’ say in the classroom?
Senior Judges Getting Double-Dipping Perk; Records Secret
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Most South Carolina workers probably don’t receive big retirement checks from their employers at the same time they’re getting their regular pay.
But under state law, eligible senior judges can receive separate “retire-in-place” paychecks equal to 90% of their six-figure salaries.
And the law allows them – as well as other state and local public officials – to keep their public retirement income secret.
The Nerve this year has been highlighting the S.C. Judicial Department’s lack of transparency about judicial pay and other benefits. Last month, The Nerve revealed that more than 70 state Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, circuit and family court judges in 2021 traveled to pricey resorts for conferences hosted by special-interest legal organizations that picked up part or all of the costs, though the trip records aren’t posted on the department’s website.
National Survey: 88 Abortion Facilities Close as Abortion Pill Businesses Surge in Post-Roe America
- Details
- By Operation Rescue
WICHITA, Kan. -- Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on June 24, 2022, the landscape of abortion in the U.S. has dramatically changed.
According to a new survey of each abortion facility in America conducted by Operation Rescue in October and November 2022, there are currently 683 abortion facilities/businesses operating in 36 states and the District of Columbia. Eighty-eight abortion facilities closed or halted abortions.
America Was Built on Coal. Now Biden Wants to Abolish It
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
The one promise that President Joe Biden has faithfully kept is his pledge to "close down" fossil fuels. We get two-thirds of our energy in America from fossil fuels, and almost one-third of our power comes from coal. That's quadruple the amount of energy we get from wind and solar, which are niche forms of energy.
But Biden doesn't see it that way. He recently reiterated his pledge to end coal production altogether.
"No one is building new coal plants because they can't rely on it," Biden said on Nov. 4 while in California. "We're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar."
Student Loan Forgiveness Meets the Rule of Law
- Details
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden's $400 billion 2022 election bribe -- also known as student loan forgiveness -- has been now stopped in its tracks on two fronts.
First, in Texas, federal district court Judge Mark Pittman, one of nearly 300 federal judges appointed by former President Donald Trump, ruled the initiative unconstitutional. The judge rejected Biden's claim that the 2003 Heroes Act gives him authority to wipe out these loans. That act, per the judge, was about loan assistance for military personal during war or other emergencies.
The lawsuit was filed by the Job Creators Network Foundation on behalf of two students holding loans that did not qualify for the relief, demonstrating the inequities of the initiative and the failure to provide the usual comment period for citizens to voice concerns.
Election Delays Signal a Need for Electoral Reform, Expert Says
- Details
- By Marjorie Jackson - The Washington Stand
Though a week has passed since Tuesday’s midterm elections, more than a dozen races for the U.S. House seats have yet to be called, according to Fox News, keeping a slim but anticipated Republican majority for the House at bay from the 218-seat target.
Many states announced results at the end of election day, such as Florida, who called victories for their respective races, including for incumbent Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’s landslide reelection by a 20-point margin.
In contrast, states such as Arizona and Nevada are gaining media airtime for several outstanding races with ballots still uncounted. In both states, voters have the option to cast ballots in person or via mail. In Arizona, it took four days to call the Senate race for Democratic incumbent Mark Kelly, who ran against Blake Masters. This Monday night, nearly a week after the polls closed, the high-profile gubernatorial race was finally called a victory for Democrat Katie Hobbs against Republican Kari Lake. Similarly, it took until the end of the week for Nevada to officially hand the Senate seat victory to Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and the gubernatorial race to Republican Joe Lombardo.
Senate to Vote on Same-Sex Marriage Bill
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Urgent Action is Needed! Please contact your Senators immediately and forward this information via email and social media!
The Senate is poised to vote THIS WEEK on a bill that would strip away our religious freedoms. The House-passed Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404/S. 4556) fully repeals the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act which protected states’ rights to maintain the definition of traditional marriage. While the wrongly decided Obergefell v. Hodges ruling forced states to uphold same-sex marriage, the holding at least recognized the rights of religious objectors. This bill – a blatant political maneuver - would create an open assault on individuals who believe in traditional marriage.
Now What, Mr. Biden?
- Details
- By Oliver North & David L. Goetsch
On Nov. 9, while flummoxed Republicans were trying to figure out why their "Red Tsunami" didn't happen in this year's midterm elections, a buoyant Joe Biden held a White House news conference. His goal: change the subject. After meandering about looking forward to working constructively with Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Old Joe blamed a grueling international travel itinerary for why he had to leave town on Nov. 10 before all the votes were tallied.
On Nov. 11 (Veterans Day in the U.S., Remembrance Day in many other countries), our geriatric-in-chief was lauded at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt for his oft-repeated pledge: "No more drilling" in the USA. Joe and entourage then boarded his fossil-fueled Air Force One (accompanied by no less than seven other U.S. Air Force aircraft) and headed to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, for an Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting and East Asia Summit on Nov. 12 and 13.

GOP Hints at Top-Down Leadership Shake-Up
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Republicans haven’t won the House yet, but the media is already salivating over the next election — for GOP leadership. While a handful of districts are still up for grabs, the headlines are full of juicy gossip that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is in for a rocky road to the speakership if his party wins back the gavel. Will there be a messy dogfight over key posts — or is the Left just trying to splinter a narrow majority into unworkable GOP pieces?
For McCarthy, who’s dreamed of being speaker since his thwarted bid in 2015, the Republicans’ modest showing didn’t do the Californian any favors. While the GOP had nothing to be ashamed of Tuesday night — Americans handed Republicans at least six million more House votes than Democrats, after all — it didn’t translate into the wave of seats the pundits predicted (thanks, in some part, to redistricting). “In any other world,” pollster Patrick Ruffini pointed out, “there’d be wild GOP celebration at a +4 national vote, 58-42% among Hispanics, 14% among African Americans. But these votes turn out to be inefficiently distributed.”
Religious Devotion and Politics
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Examining an Important National Faultline
In February 2016, the Pew Research Center published a study entitled, How Religious is Your State. One question on the survey asked how important religion was in the respondent’s life. The states were then ranked by what percent responded that religion was very important in the respondents’ lives. Alabama and Mississippi tied for first with 77 percent. Alabama was also first in those who said they believed in God with absolute certainty, 82 percent. Alabamians were second, 73 percent, in those who claim to pray daily. They were also second with 51 percent who claimed they went to church one or more times weekly.
I have listed the first 15 states that were classified as highly religious, i.e. those where 60 percent or more respondents considered religion very important in their lives. Besides that percentage figure for each state, I have given the percent who voted for Trump in the 2020 Election.

“O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” - Psalm 107:1-2 (KJV)
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.” - Psalm 107:1-2 (NIV)
One of my great “Heroes of the Christian Faith”—a man who I admired for decades--was the late Rev. Dr. D. James Kennedy (1930-2007), Founder and long time Pastor of the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Founder of Evangelism Explosion International (the first Bible ministry to be established in EVERY nation and territory on the planet). For many years he was Chancellor of Knox Theological Seminary, and was the Founder of the Center For Christian Statesmanship in Washington, D.C. He was also the Founder of theCenter For Reclaiming America, a nationwide network of Christian activists and Bible believers whose goal was to restore virtue to American culture.
The Value of Marriage
- Details
- By Anne Schlafly Cori, Eagle Forum Chairman
A cornerstone is the rock upon which a building is built; the cornerstone joins two walls together to form a single unit. Marriage is a cornerstone that brings together a man and a woman to build a family and join their lives together.
Today, fewer than half of Americans are married. Instead of seeing the commitment of marriage as an important building block, young Americans think that marriage is a capstone — which is the last block placed in the building. They are delaying marriage while they wait for career success.

Outlaw Subversive Agenda 2030 Schemes

- By The John Birch Society
ACT NOW: Agenda 2030 is a major threat to liberty and is being implemented across the country — maybe even in your town or county. Contact your state legislators and urge them to enact strong legislation banning all governmental involvement in Agenda 2030 or “sustainable development” schemes.
Agenda 2030, officially titled “the 2030 Agenda,” is a United Nations program based on the UN Local Agenda 21 program unveiled in 1992 and the UN Millennium Development Goals released in 2000. Under the guise of “sustainable development,” this plan seeks totalitarian control and regimentation of the entire planet, including the economy, our country, our lives, and our children. Agenda 2030 is divided into 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, along with 169 specific “targets” to be imposed on humanity.

On Veterans Day, November 11, Bob Jones University held an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) contracting ceremony, at 11 a.m. in Founder’s Memorial Amphitorium.
Crosstown partnerships with Furman University (Army) and Clemson University (Air Force), which were launched in 2018, allow BJU students to participate in their respective ROTC battalions. While most BJU students are qualified to join either program, wear the uniform and hold the title “cadet,” exceptional cadets who stand out as scholars, athletes and leaders may be offered scholarship contracts that cover their costs of tuition, fees, and books and receive a monthly stipend.
